A Free Street Attraction.

Tuesday night, about o'clock, a
young man started a disturbance In
Nereson's restaurant, and he was
promptly thrown out into the street.
The marshal happened along at the
time and placed the young man I'M
der arrest. The young man, howev-
er, resisted, broke away and ran
with the marshal a close second. Re-
fusing to halt, the marshal fired a
shot in the air which only spurred
the fugitive to greater speed, and not
until Marshal Beer fired the fourth
shot did he persuade the fugitive to
stop running. He was arraigned be-
fore Mayor Schmitz, pleaded guilty
to engaging in fight, was fined $50
and costs, in default of payment OF

Eggs by the Year.

An exchange boasts of a poultry
breeder who gets so cents dozen
for his eggs the year around. This
sounds pretty good. Undoubtedly
the breeder is making fair wages
for himself, and receiving a profta-
BILE per cent on the amount of CAPT
tai invested, but not every farmer
can get so cents a dozen the year
around, nor can he average 40 cents
a dozen, largely because he is not in
a position to guarantee fixed supply
OF eggs for every day in the year. II
a hotel, or drug store, or private
family, engages a certain number or
dozens of eggs each day, the eggs
must be supplied, and supplied by
the man who engages the eggs, even
il he has to pay others twice what
he is getting, to supply them during
his short season. To get a profit
out Of such a contract, one must
keep enough hens to furnish the
eggs in the season when eggs are
scarce, which means, of course,
more chickens than one needs to
keep during the natural laying sea-
son. Almost any town will furnish
a market for eggs at good price the
year around If the farmer will agree
to furnish them in that way. 1t is
good way of buying-the custom
er is assured of his supply; and 1t is
good way to sell because when the
farmer knows he needs the eggs, he
is more apt to see to it that the
hens have the right feed and the
right care to furnish the eggs. As
Stunning responsibility often goes a
long ways towards bearing the re-
sponsibility, and fulfilling the con-
tract.-Wallace Farmer.

THOS. BAXTER IN ACCIDENT.
Well Known Travelling Salesman Who

Thomas Baxter, a travelling sales
man for the McFadden Coffee &

was taken to Onalaska where he was
temporarily cared for by one of his
old customers. He was later remov-

NEW TYPE DRAFT HORSE.
New Breed Will be Active, Intelli-
gent, Strong LOined, Short Back
ed and Wide Chested.

Ames, Ia, March ia typical
American draft horse is being devel-
oped at Ames by the United States
government. Uncle Sam has come to
the aid of the farmers, manufactur
ers, and merchants who are spending
millions of dollars abroad every
year to keep up the strain of import
ed draft horses such as Percherons
and Belgians. 1t is believed that,
under a proper system of breeding
type of gray draft horse can be de-
veloped which will be American in
every sense of the word and which
will thrive under conditions in this
country as no imported breed will
do.
This important experiment, which
means the saving of untold millions
to stock users in this country If it is
successful, is being carried on at the
Iowa State Agricultural college,
Dean. C. F.. Curtiss having local
charge of the work. Director Geo.
M. Rommel of the bureau of animal
industry, which branch of the depart
ment of agriculture is conducting
similar experiments looking to the
development of other types of AMI
mails in various parts of the country,
has general supervision of the draft
horse experiment.
There are about twenty animals
at the Iowa experiment station. II
has been determined that the gray
draft horse is the best type to devel-
op. Three of the highest grade draft
stations have been secured, and
their progeny is watched very close
ly, and only the more promising colts
are kept, the others being sold off.
Iowa was selected as the location
for this work because it has been
proved that the raising of draft hor-
ses can be best accomplished in that
state and Illinois owing to a general
ombination of favorable conditions.
The draft horse cannot be successful
| ly developed in a mountainous or hill
| ly country. Furthermore, this type
of horse will deteriorate rapidly in
any but a temperate climate. Ex-
periments in raising draft horses
have proved to be complete failures
in cold climates and in the tropics.
The draft horse business in this
country has suffered through the ig-
norance of breeders and the natural
deterioration of imported stock. In
their desire to raise equine giants
breeders have sacrificed style and
conformity.
Monstrosities and not horses have
been produced-draft horses with
great limbs, narrow chests and long
sway backs. Millions of dollars
have been wasted in producing infer
ior stock, to say nothing of the mil
lions which must zoe spent every
year in France and Belgium to keep
up the strain of the more popular
breeds of draft horses. In common
with all imported stock Percherons
and Belgians will soon run out" so
far as the strain is concerned when
taken from their natural surround
ings.
That is one reason why the gov
eminent has taken up this expert
ment-to develop, if possible, a ma
tive type of horse which will grow
better instead of deteriorating under
the natural conditions in this coun-
try. That is why the government is
conducting a similar experiment with
carriage horses at Fort Collins, Colo,
and with the Morgan horse in Yer
mont, and with sheep at Laramie,
Wyo.
