Until we begin to pay more atten.
ton to the kind of stations to which
we are breeding our mares we will
not greatly improve the stock of
horses we are growing on our farms.
There are scores of good horses in
this and in other communities, but for
some mysterious reason there are
scores of men who will pass these
good animals by every spring and lead
their mares to some underbred animal
whose get cannot begin to compare
with that of the real stations.
OF course it is not so very mystic
rious after all. The fee is the thing
that stands in the way, says an Indi-
ana writer in Farm Progress. It's
funny that some men will pay a few
dollars less and be fairly contented
with a cat-hammed, scissor-hocked colt
that will never be in demand by any
body for anything, when they might
have added a few dollars to the stall
lion fee and had colt that would be
far more salable and worth a good
deal more money.
1t takes as much feed and pasture
and fully as much care to make a Sec
ond-rate animal out of one of these
mongrelbred colts as it does to make
a real horse out Of colt that has
some breeding on the sire's side Stall
lion registration laws such as have
been passed, but not enforced by
many states, would help in wiping out
much of this shiftless evil that is
really costing many a country COM
munity considerable amount of
money every year.
AS long, however, as there is a de-
mand for the cheap and underbred
stallion's services, and no law to drive
him out of the country, he will linger
in most communities.
1t seems to me that mare that is
worth breeding at all is worth breed

His Only Possession.

Al Rogers was travelling through a

ton one night. a short while ago, when
he was startled by hearing this pite-

COSTLY METHOD OF REVENGE
Procedure in Europe Reminded An
drew Carnegie of a Somewhat
Humorous Incident.

Andrew Carnegie, in a recent inter
view on peace, said to New York
reporter:
"A lad twenty killed a man and
woman in Sarajevo. All Europe is now
fighting to avenge this wrong. Eng
land alone is spending $4,000 min
ute, according to Sidney Webb, on gun
powder.
We'll, this is such an expensive way
to avenge wrong that it reminds me
of the man at the banquet.
"a man entered the cloakroom, at
the end of a banquet, and began to
smash in silk hat after silk hat.
Hold on, boss! What TO- yo' smash
in all dem high hats?' demanded the
attendant.
I'm looking for my own" the gen.
tleman answered. It's an opera hat
collapsibIe, you know. None of these
seem to be it. "

Hardwood Ashes.

Ashes from hardwoods (deciduous
trees) are richer in both phosphorus
and potash than those from pines and
other softwoods (conifers). Ashes
from oak, elm, maple and hickory have
more potash than those from pine.
The ashes of twigs (faggots for ex'
ample) are worth more for agricultu'
raj purposes than the ashes of heart
wood taken from the middle of an
old tree. In general, the smaller and
younger the wood burned, the better
ashes. The ashes of coal do not con-
tain enough potash to make them valu-
able in this connection.
