good native driving mares. The term
Hackney is derived from hack orig
inally meaning any horse suitable for
drawing carriages and similar We
hicleS with considerable speed. Speed
development beyond a reasonable
limit has not been emphasized in this
breed, but great attention has been
given to action and endurance.
In form this horse is rOunder and
smoother than the trotting horse, with
less tendency to angularity. In height
he stands from 14.2 to 1873 hands. In
movement he resembles the French
and German coach horses. Knee ac-
ton is unusually high. In motion, the
foot describes a circle.
Hackney and Coach horses are chief
ly used as park animals and for driv-
Ing in boulevards and city streets. The
prevalence of the automobile has done
great deal to discourage the produc-
ton of horses of this type on a large
scale in this country. From the farm
ers' standpoint the Hackney is desir-
able for driving purposes, but too small
for work in the tield.-Farm and

EATING PAPER IS NOT HARD
How Fanny Murray Outdid Feat of
Won der GoItz, the German

It is with a mitigated commiseration
that one reads the story of how Van
der Goltz, the German spy, finding him
self recognized in Petrograd, spent
some hours eating two parcels of in
eliminating papers which he dare not
burn in the CRATE"
AS feat of mastication, says the
London Observer, Won der Goltz by no
means holds the record. Paper Is cas-
lily reduced to pulp and swallowed
(the ink acting as an appetizer), and
the only difficulty in this case was the
quantity. Leather is another matter,
but apart from meals of hard-pressed
explorers there are authenticated In
stances of meals of the kind.
What may be described as a paper
meal de luxe was that of the famous
Fanny Murray mentioned by Horace
Walpole: Il liked her spirit in an in
stance l heard of t'other night. She
was complaining of want Of money.

SHADE is GREAT NECESSITY
Astonishing to Note How Many Farm
ers Fail to Provide Shelter Dur
ing Hot Summer Days.

The necessity for providing shades
the majority of farmers throughout
the country. 1t Is astonishing to note
how many herds of hogs are COM
PEELED to lay in the sun and suffer dur
Ing the summer days. If the herd has
access to an orchard or wood lot they
will not need artificial shade. How
ever, If they are confined in open
lots, they should have sunshades built
to protect them. A cheap and efficient
shade can be erected in a few hours,
and at practically no cost, aside from
the labor A few posts, some old
boards or saplings, and a straw or
hay roof makes an ideal shade. 1t is
preferable to one of boards, and the
straw or hay roof is cooler than one
of lumber.
In building sunshades it is better to
build them at the highest point in the
field, so that the hogs will get the full
benefit of every breeze. Few farm
ers realize the great losses that are
due directly to overheating, and such
Losses can be guarded against only by
providing a retreat for the animals
during the heat of the day. Days
when the weather is extremely hot it
is an excellent plan to sprinkle the
soil under the shades with water One
barrel of water will help keep down
the temperature during the middle of
| the day.

breezily into the room. The first glance

TAKE GOOD CARE OF PIGLETs
Necessary That Young Animals Have
Plenty of Exercise-Keep Them
Out of Cold Rain.

1t Is very necessary that the little
pigs have plenty of exercise and all
the sunlight that can be given them.
Do not allow the pigs to run out dur
ing a cold rain. If possible, provide
green feed or roots. These keep the
sow healthy and cheaper the ration.
Encourage the pigs to eat grain after
they are three or four weeks old.
Build creep for them so they can
feed alone. At this age feed for bone
and muscle. Give them all the skim
milk you can. If skim milk Is not
available, give them some meal and
plenty of pasture. In about eight or
ten weeks the pigs will have practical
ly weaned themselves. After they
have been successfully weaned the
most perplexing job is over.

SYNOPSIS.

Georgy Wagstaff. daughter of Sir
George of the British admiralty, hints at
a liaison between her governess, Ethel
Willoughby, and Henry Streetman. Ethel
denies it. Henry Streetman calls on Ethel
and while waiting for her talks to Brews-
ter, Sir Georges butler, who is German
spy, about his failure to get at admiralty
papers in Sir Georges possession. He
quarters Streetman, the German spy. and
Roeder (alas Brewster, the butler) are
discussing the possibility of war. When
Ethel appears he tries to force her to get
from Sir George knowledge of the sailing
orders to the British fleet. Though she
believes him a French instead of Ger
man spy, she refuses until he threatens
her. She begs him to announce their Sc
cret marriage as Georgy is suspicious,
but he puts her off. At tea Georgy and
her lover, Guy Falconer, tease Sir George,
and Streetman makes an awkward at
tempt to talk politics.

"You really ought to see the play,
Sir George" the irrepressible Guy re-
marked. He was always ready to
back up Georgy in any deviltry she
might embark upon.

that young lady added.
"As if a playwright knew anything
of that"' her father scoffed.
Its horribly insulting to US Brit
ons," Mrs. Falconer remarked.
Drives in lot Of home truths and
gives us English a fearful ragging"
Guy added cheerfully.
Sir George looked at him somewhat
suspiciously.
"Who wrote It? Bernard Shaw"
he inquired. And there was much re-
proof in his tone. To him, Shaw was
like red rag to a bull.
II don't know who wrote It,"
Georgy said carelessly. 81 never can
remember the beasts Names"

striking picture of what may very
likely happen" Henry Streetman in
terposed.
Mrs. Falconer turned to him in as
constituent. She did not think that
anyone in his senses could have taken
that silly play seriously.
you don't mean you really believe
there is going to be war right over
there on the continent?" she exclaimed.
II do, rather. And 1 fancy Sir
George agrees with NEEDN'T you.
Sir George?" the willy Streetman ven
tured. He was determined that If he
did not succeed in forcing Sir Georges
hand he would at least give him a
run for his money.
Sir George looked bored.
"Really, sir, should prefer not to
discuss that matter" he said once
more
Georgy laughed gayly.
"When father puts on his mantle
OF dignity like that, it means serious
business" she observed. And there
was a deal of truth in her statement,
frivolous as she seemed. But Georgy
was no fool. She had not lived with
her father close upon eighteen years
for nothing. She knew unerringly
how to interpret his every manner.
But why should there be war, even
II an Austrian duke did get killed by
some Serbian or other?" Mrs. Fal.
coner asked. "Of course I've only

however, was entirely superfuous. Sit
