(from the United States Department of
 Agriculture.)
 Colt shows are proving a great aid in stimulating interest in the breeding of high-class horses. Next to commu- nifty horse breeders associations and state stallion license laws there is, per haps nc other factor that will so ma terially assist in the improvement of the horses of the country. It is only in recent years that impetus has been given to this veIy important feature in connection with the rapidly-growing movement for better horses.
 At the present time colt shows are an annual event in many districts of a number of the states, chiefly where stallion license laws are in effect. As an illustration of the popularity of these shows and the keen interest man. ifested in them by the people of the farming communities, it is reported that in 1915 no less than 25 colt shows were held in the state of Minnesota alone. In some sections these shows are held in the spring, but in ma jority of cases the fall of the year is selected. The latter season appears to be preferable for a number of req sons. At that time the heaviest part of the farm work is about over; and with more time to spare, farmers will take a greater interest in the event and the object for which 1t is held
 Feature of County Event.
 These exhibitions are invariably hold independent of the county fair all though there is apparently no reason why show of this kind could not be made an important and outstanding feature of the annual county event.
 In some instances these shows were inaugurated with simply one class for grade draft foals and have gradually grown until the classification is almost as complete as that of the state fair

Good Hard Sense, This.

Recently suit has been brought against the Little Rock X Fort Smith railroad for back taxes said to be due for the years 1883 and 1881. If the state has let this tax go as long as that the debt should be cancelled. Thirty-three years is 8 long time to wait for taxes. Any other deht would be outlawed long before that many years. Why should the railroads be harassed more than private individuals. We make the guess that several thou sand individuals in the state owe back taxes as far back as B years yet no one ever thinks of trying tC collect them. 3GIenwood Press.

Is Your Boy Going?

A writer in the August Woman's Home Companion says
 Close to me lives a man whose in- terests have been separated from mine by more than a mere ivy grown stone fence-to be exact by several hundred thousand dollars The other day he leaned over the fence and inquired:
 Your boy going2
 Yes.
 Mine, too. Had a notion he didn't want to wait for conscription By the way, those eggplant of yours are not coming on very well. May send my man over with some fer tilizer that has helped ours?'
 The fence is still there-bu not the barrier. Our boys and our coun- try leyeled it.
 "There's bound to be lots of such leyeling from this time on. Some of us who have been too busy to get acquainted are going to know each other. Some who have been to ab- sorbed by money-making and repu- tation-seeking to make friends will suddenly feel the need of comrade- ship. Some of Us who have wor- ried because our neighbOrs dressed better than we did, had finer pho- nograph, or ran a faster ear are go- ing to have our eyes opened to the falseness of the standards by which we have judged ourselves and each other. We're going to like each oth- CT a great deal better and to need each other a great deal more.

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 weanlings and yearlings only. If the community oI district has a fairly large number Of purebred horses, separate classes could be provided for purebreds and grades
 The question of having classes foi 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 tc finance such an exhibition as coli show number of different plans have been suggested In Minnesota one show is financed by the stallion own. CTS, each giving S25 in cash prizes, to be divided among the colts sired by his stallion. Another plan is to have the County Horse Breeders association . or the various farmers clubs contrib ute sufficient money to finance the show, while still another scheme is for the local bank or banks to furnish the money for premiums and other ex penses.
 However, the most popular and com mon method is to go among the busi- ness men of the community and secure subscriptions in sufficient amount tc pay all expenses of the show.
 All premiums should be designated by neat, but inexpensive ribbons or which are printed the name of the show the year, and the classes tc which they belong.

 While the premiums in the individual classes should consist of cash awards it is suggested that the championship prize consist of suitable trophy rath
