QUALITIES or RACE HORSE
Intellectual and Physical Needs Are
Great-Trainer Tells Why Race
Course Is Necessary

What qualifications are necessary to
constitute a serviceable race horse was
recently discussed by number or
prominent trainers who have stables
at the Gravesend track, the New YORK
Times states. There was diversity
of opinion but all agreed that the
first and most important thing in
thoroughbred was soundness. In ex-
pressing his views, Charles Langdon,
trainer of Charlestonian said
"The thoroughbred can only fulfill
its mission provided the product be
continually subjected to severe trials
in public. The only appreciable test,
proved by the experience of many cen
turtles, is the race course.
"The last struggle for victory, in
which eliminates the eXertiOn of the
race, results from the cooperation OF
the intellectual the physical and the
mechanical qualities of the horse, the
development of which combined power
is higher and more reliable than any
that can be obtained in the same ami
NAL by other means.
THE combination OF these three
qualities forms the value of the horse
destined for fast work, and in my opin.
ion constitutes the serviceable race
horse; the mechanical in respect to
the outward shape and construction;
the physical as regards the soundness
and normal development OF the diges'
tive organs and motive power; the in
tellectual or the will and energy to
put the other two in motion and perse-
we're to the utmost. The attained speed
is not the aim, but only the gauge OF
the performance.
This is what gives the thorough
bred horse value for breeding pur-
poses and Is looked for in vain In any
other species of the animal kingdom

How Smoking Injuries Health.

Laboratory work at the Paris Medi-
cal college indicates that tobacco
smoking does injure the heart, but
not, as generally supposed, on account
of the nicotine present. Tobacco with
various proportions of nicotine was
used in the tests, and the effect on the
heart was the same. Oak leaves were
found to produce very much the same
result as tobacco, and the conclusion
reached was that the harmful effects
are due to products Of combustion con-
tanned in smoke of widely different
origin

Control.

The most effective means Of contro'
is cutting out all dead and diseased
wood. Oftentimes single limb OF
good tree is attacked; in such case
the whole limb should be removed ant
burned. Slightly affected trees should
be literally fortified.
The use of thick lime sulphur solr
ton painted over the holes will serNt
to control the pest; also, kerosen'
emulsion soaked into the holes, wi!
kill the insect, but usually the bes
treatment is the removal Of attackCr
parts. Clean culture and keeWng IT,,
trees in ii healthy condition is the be
preventative of this as well as man,
other similar pests.

ANCIENTS HAD SHORTHAND
Tho System Used by Old Romans ana
Hebrews Was Not Based on Pho
netics Like Ours.

We are told in a recent story, that
not only the Romans, but the ancient
Hebrews, possessed fine systems or
stenography, and that public men
took stenographers with them wher-
ever they went. This is not true
In any strict sense, the New York
Mail states. The ancient Romans and
Hebrews had systems of shorthand,
but not all stenography. Their short
hand consisted of authorizations, the
use of letters for words, the introduce
tion of arbitrary systems and that
kind of things. No system of phonet'
ic stepography, such as we have at the
present day, in which fluent character
represents a certain sound, and in ac-
cordance with which the sounds OF hui
man speech can be Transcribed as they
are uttered, was known to the an
clients. The shorthand system invent.
ed by Giro, the secretary of Cicero,
Is we'll known; it has no phonetic ba'
sis. Two amanuenses were neces'
sary to keep up with speaker, and
there are even tales that Caesar kept
six amanuenses going at once. 1t is

terances.
Few people at the present day have
any just or correct understanding OF
phonetcs. The average person con.
fuses the names Of letter of the al
phabet with the sound which it is sup.
posed to represent, fails to distinguish
between diphthongs like long ~ and
the simple vowel sounds, and in many
ways betrays the fact that he is quite
without a phonetic sense. The teach
ing of stenography has spread
knowledge of phonetics, and in the
long run must produce a much more
general realization of the ridiculous
ness and wastefulness of our present
system of spelling the English Ian.

My way is to take two posts about

Loss, Pain and Fear.

Loss is painful, it requires read
justment of the perspective Of life, but
1t is purifying; like pain, it Is benef-
cent arrangement of nature whereby
greater harm is averted.
1t purges the dross of selfshness, OF
the canker which attaches to great
possessions divorced from the ideal.
Fear contains greater pain than all
of these and is without their compen-
sations.
For they, and they alone, are the
weapons by which the phantom is con-
uered
BY their aid we learn that 1t is a
trick Of the devil, disorder of the
sick imagination, stage dragon to be
trampled under foot; that outside our
selves 1t has no existence.

Industrial Education.

In England, as well as in this coun.
try, manufacturers are taking a lively
interest in industrial education. A
scholarship and an exhibition have
been founded at the University OF
Leeds for the purpose of giving the

them to assist in the development OF
the industry. A sum of about 1922, 800

RIGHT MANAGEMENT OF BOAR
Animal Should Not Be Allowed to Run
With Sows-Sure Way of Reduc-
ing Number In Litter.
inv II. M. COTTRELL.)


The boar should serve a SOW but
once, and two sows a day should be
the limit for a mature boar, and then
he should have days rest after every
second or third day. He should be
used before being fed. Handled in this
way. a mature boar is sufficient for 90
sows. Overservice results in pigs that
are dead, weak or puny at birth. Prob
ably the greatest cause of pigs born
dead or born SO weak that they soon
die, is allowing the boar to run with
the sows. 1t is sure way OF reduc-
ing the number raised in litter ana
of reducing the profits.
A boar should not be used for much
service until he is at least twelve

Exterior ColorinQs.

Exterior coloring for suburban
houses deserve more attention than it
usually receives. An experiment
that sounds in the telling too ideal to
be authentic, but which nevertheless
was said to have been actually carried
out some years ago in an eastern COM
munity, was the painting Of all the
buildings in certain village, both res
idential and commercial, in colors that
blended together tremendously.
While perhaps artistic effects of this
sort may never become plentiful, every
homebuilder should do his share to-
ward the good work by making his
own structure subordinate part Of
the landscape.

SOY BEANS FURNISH
FEED and FERTILITY
Well Adapted To Maryland Soils And
Especially Valuable For Forage.
NICHOLAS SCHMITZ,
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

Soy beans are we'll adapted to
Maryland, and, like corn, thrive best
on rich loan soils. 1t is, however, on
soils too poor to grow corn probably
that SOY beans will bring the greatest
net profit On such soils, when inocu'
lated and fertilized with little mex
pensive fertilizer, they will produce
nearly as much forage and seed as
when grown on rich land. They will
not grow as well as cow peas on poor
sandy soils, but far better than COW
peas on stiff clay soils. They VIII
stand poor drainage better than either
COW peas or corn.
Soy beans mature in from 70 to $50
days, making it possible to select va
rieties to fit any length of growing sea
son found in Maryland.
Cultivation.
They require the same kind of prep
aration of seedbed as corn; and, as IN
the case of corn, it is better to thor
oughly prepare the seeded before
planting than to depend upon cultiva-
ton for getting the soil in the proper
condition.
For seed production, soy beans
should be sown in rows "A to Sc inches
apart, far enough to cultivate, and l
bushel of seed will plant or 3 acres.
The planting may be done with corn
PLANTER or with a wheat drill regu-
lated for planting bushels of oats
per acre and with the proper number
of seed holes closed to give the de-
sired distance apart. The plants
should be about 2 inches apart in the
row.
For hay production, soy beans
should be sOwn broadcast, 1R bushels
per acre; and for this purpose there
is no implement better suited than
the wheat drill The seed should
never be covered more than l inch,
except in sandy SOIL where they may
be covered inches.
Time to Plant.
Sow beans may be planted from any
time after corn planting is finished UNI
til July 18th, depending upon variety,
location and for the purpose planted,
For hay and seed 1t is best to plant
the forepart of June, to insure good
curing weather for the hay and time
for late varieties to mature seed be-
fore frost. For fall hog pasture, ana
for turning down as a green manure,
they may be planted up until July l5'h
if an early variety is used.
incubation.
But few Maryland soils are natural
" inoculated for SOY beans, and, since
they seldom thrive unless inoculated.
II Is necessary TO inuCulate whenever
planting for the first time. TO do TINS,
. or 3 hundred pounds Of soil taken
from a field which has grown them

from being killed by sunlight lnocu.
lation with artificial culture is not sue
cessful when the culture Is applied ana
the beans allowed to dry before seed
ing. Much better results are secured
when the beans are planted before
the inoculating culture has dried.

CADETS MAY ADOPT
new RANK INSIGNIA
National Defense Act Prevents Use of
Official Marks.

High school students may have trou-
BILE distinguishing the rank of the diff
ferent officers and 'nOnCOms. of the
Washington High School Cadets, this
winter. The new national defense act
which was passed on June 5. 1916. pro-
vides that the insignia of the service
shall not be used by others than the
service branches, the National Guard
and the Boy Scouts. War Department
officials are at work designing new in
sigma for the use of military and fra
ternal organizations which are forbidden
the use of the army emblems under the
new law.
The question arises as to whether the
law will be interpreted by the General
STAFF as including all organizations for
military training or whether a liberal in
terpretation will be made, thus allowing
the Washington High School Cadets and
other military bodies only partly official
in their control to continue the use of
the insignia.
Army officers admit that the law was
aimed at fraternal and other orders and
was not intended to prevent institutions
providing bona fde military instruction
from following the military dress IN de-
tail. They say that when the matter
comes before the General StafT that in all
probability the Washington organizat ation
will be allowed to proceed as hereto
fore.
Before the contracts can be let for the
uniforms for the High School Cadets to
be worn this winter the staff will have
to come to some decision, and those who
are aware of the provision are anxiousIy
awaiting the opinion of the General
Stan
