HORSES IN UNITED STATES
According to Estimate of Department of Agriculture There Were 21.-
 195,oo0 on January 1.

The United States department of az riculture estimates the number of horses in the United States on Janu- ary 1st of each year. except 1910. when the April census figures are used, as follows: 1910. 19.S33.000: 1911. 2O.- 277.0O0; 1912, 2O.509. .000; 1913. 20.5S7e 900; 1914. 2O.962.OOo: 1915. 2l.1s5.000.
 In spite of automobiles and every thing else 1t can be seen that the horse Is gradually gaining in numbers. In spite of the heavy exportation of horses on account of the war. the to- tai amount available is so great that the exports are not materially reduc- ing the supply. It Is doubtful also If the war will affect American horse raising very greatly. In the western fighting everythir~ appears to be trench warfare, where cavalry is of little use and the slaughter of artil- lery horses must be moderate. while on the eastern front Russia has mil lions of horses and would not need to call on America. even if shipments would be possible. One of the ways America Is hardest hit is in the sup ply of imported draft stallions.

 Hall looked at her, and her beauty sank deep into him. A golden tendril of hair in front of her ear caught his glance; and thence to the saucy frolic. some dimple in her cheek, the little uplifted corner of her delicate mouth her white even teeth. the straight line of her nose. her fisely-drawn eye brows. to her violet-blue eyes, his quick glance travelled reveling.

 "Oh. don't talk shop all the time. she said. I'm just calling. I've been posing for three hours with Deerfield. and I'm all in. For heavens sake let me sit where I cant see camera.

VENTILATION FOR THE BARN
All Stables Should Be Fairly Lofty, Because Horses Need Abundance
 of Good Fresh Air.

The horse is very susceptible tO cold; and the horses that are stabled when not being worked or exercised feel the changes of weather quite as readily as do those enjoying a moro free life.
 All stables should be fairly lofty. be- cause horses need plenty of fresh air. and this can only be properly given during intense cold when venti- lation can be given above the heads of the animals so far as elevation is concerned. the position of the ven- tilators mattering little so long as they are at a good height and placed with judgment.
 The stable should feel cozy upon going in, but not stu1y. otherwise the horses will feel chilly upon com ing out.

It was also stated that . dog so raised would bring in the flock at a given hour, when accustomed to be fed at that time.
 Sheep know a strange dog instantly. The dog to work among them must not be strange to the sheep in any way, must have their confidence and command their respect and be able to boss" them when that becomes neces- sary. The collie is the dog for such service. Sheep herding has been tho work of the breed for generations and to tend shonp Is . hereditary tendency in the w, bred collie.

The supreme court upheld the for nation of the drainage district No. 160 in Mississippi county. The dis trict had been approved by the coun- ty court at Osceola, but an appeal was taken to the circuit court in the Chickasawba district. Although the Chickasawba District Court affirmed the county courts decision, the favor able action in the supreme court was not confirmation of the Chickasaw- ba decision, but dismissal of the ap- peal. on the grounds that the Chicka- sawba court had no jurisdiction. The court thus held that when an appeal is taken from a county court in a county whether there are two divi- sions of the circuit court tho appeal must be lodged in the court located in the same town with the county court.
