However, such large classification is
not possible in most localities, as the
larger amount of money necessary can
not be raised. The best plan, and the
most beneficial one, perhaps, would be
to hold an exhibition for weanllngS ana
yearlings only. If the community or
district has a fairly large number OF
purebred horses, separate classes could
be provided for purebredS and grades.
The question of having classes for
both light and heavy horses will de-
pend upon whether sufficient attention
Is being given to the production OF both
classes.
Financing an Exhibition.
In securing the necessary funds to
finance such an exhibition as a colt
show q number of different plans have
been suggested. In Minnesota one
show is financed by the stallion own
ers, each giving $25 in cash prizes, TO
be divided among the colts sired by
his stallion. Another plan is to nave
the County Horse Breeders association
or the various farmers clubs contrlD-
ute sufficient money TO finance lne
show, while still another scheme is for
the local bank o. banks to furnish the
money for premiums and other ex-
penseS.
However, the most popular and COM
mon method is to go among the Dusl-
ness men of the community and secure
subscriptions in sufficient amount 10
pay all expenses of the show.
All premiums should be designated
by neat, but inexpensive ribbons on
which are printed the name OF the
show, the year, and the classes TO
which they belong.
Suitable Trophy.
While the premiums in the indlvldual
classes should consist of cash awards
it is suggested that the championship
prize consist of a suitable trophy rain

Per cent.

The remaining 9 per cent consisted
of such defects as chorea, general I'M
soundness, faulty conformation, and
scattering imperfections.
These figures do not represent indi-
vidual stations, but indicate the num-
Der of cases of unsoundness. For in
stance, a single stallion may be af-
fected with two or more physical de-
fects and others with but one. A re-
port from all the states having stallion
license laws could not be secured, as
in several no record is kept, but the
figures given may be accepted as rea-
sonably offering an index to the most
common physical defects among pub
lice service stations.
In some of these states certain dis
eases and unsoundness disqualify a
stallion for service, while in others the
stallion may stand, but the condition of
sOundness must be noted OA the Ii
cense certificate, a copy of which is re-
Quired to be posted at the place where
the stallion is being stood for service.

rhineStones lend the necessary sparkle
These combs are worn in the hair in
many positions.
With no sensible reason for flourish
ing in midwinter. and with the incOn-
sistency of things feminine, fans are
Just now in the zenith of their pOpu-
larity. They are bits of splendor that
give the finishing touch to winter toll
cites, and they become especially en-
ticing just before the holidays. Just
now they are more in evidence in the
shops than they ever will be in the
hottest OF midsummer weather.
The prices asked for the new fans
are rather outrageously high, but,
measured by their beauty, money is
something to forget. All the corners
of the earth are called upon to furnish
the materials and the art that produce
them. They are limitlesS in variety,
and most of them sparkle and CLEAN
and flash and please with lovely color.

HAS BECOME Big SPORT
TRAPSHOOTING HAS 100000 FOL-
LOWERS THROUGHOUT THE
COUNTRY.
More People Today Have Gun Fever
Than Ever Before in History of
Sport-Many Clubs Formed
in Pennsylvania.

No sport in the country can be just
ly said to have developed to a greater
degree than trapshooting. 1t is fact
that more people today have gun fe-
yer than ever before in the history of
the game. There is something about
it which "mysteriously draws you in
to the sport is the explanation of an
enthusiast. 1t is different from others
in that the interested ones participate
instead of just look ON. OF course,
there are galleries for spectators,
which sometimes consist of large
crowds. Those that have the real gun
fever say you can't remain a member
Of the gallery long, there's something
draws you into the game. Figures
seem to indicate that this must be
true, for the sport now has 100000
hackers. Five years ago 1t didn't have
quarter of that number. In pennsyl-
vania alone there are 500 trapshoot-
ing clubs and an average club con-
sists of so members, so that makes
$4,000 gun bugs.
ExtensiVeness of Sport.
An idea of the eXtensiveness of
trapshOoting can be had from the fol-
lowing figures gathered from the re-
cent grand American handicap held in
st. Louis: In it 638 crack trapshoot-
ers made entry. 1t cost each one from
So to $13 to enter, and the Interstate
association, under whose auspices II
was given, donated $500. This made
a purse of $6,194. Cap. Jack Wulf
the winner, received $619. The Sec
ond man received $557.45, and the
three men that tied for third place
won $4,000 each. Other winners re-
ceived various amounts down to $42.25.
During the five days 227,25O clay
birds were used, which, at an average
cost of z cents for each bird and shell,
would equal $15907.50 spent for the
necessaries. This was not all. The
participants came from every state in
the Union and even Canada, and this
travelling expense, plus practically a
weeks hotel bill, would average 500
q shooter. Besides, there were more
than 1900 spectators, as is always
the case at such special occasions and
all of them didn't reside in st. Louis,
so they also spent neat sums, thus in
creasing the banks clearings. 1t is
estimated that 100000 was spent in
this manner.

"Why, you don't want to be dirty
girl" said the nurse. "YOu have to
put soap ON you to get clean"
"Well, the birds and the horses and
other things don't have soap, and they
are always Clean"
Nurse was stumped for a few min
utes, and then Kitty answered her own
question. "Of course" she said, Il

The Newest Hats.

The hats of the moment are dull.
There is 'cloche" hat with a high
crown, Chinese hat with wide,
turned-up brim, and quantities of sol
emn toques. But any day may bring
a quite new shape which will abolish
this dullness, and meanwhile the wiser
women are keeping TO the becoming
three-cornered shapes worn with a
well-put-on veil. The new tailor
mades and coats seem TO need a fair
ly high hat, but as yet they are all
too heavy or too hard. 1t does not

PROPER TRAINING FOR COLT
Aceustom 1t to Eating Grain Before
Taking From Mother-ShouId
Be Halter Broken.

We never yet have weaned a colt
but that it was used to eating grain
before being taken from it's mother,
consequently there was practically no
loss in flesh or growing, says writer
in an exchange.
We also have each colt halter bro
ken by the time it is ready to be
weaned.
This thing of letting colts run until
two and three years old before putting
a halter on them is not good business.
