son--Exercise ls Needed.

A stallion that is not fit to work
IS not fit to sire work horses, In tho
opinion of j. S. Montgomery of the
animal husbandry division of the Min
lesota College OF Agriculture. "The
aorse should be in good physical con-
iition before the beginning of the
breeding season." he says. Plenty of
exercise should be provided. If it is
impossible to work the horse, large
paddock should be arranged where he

The Introduction of dull gold and

HINTS FOR SWINE BREEDERS
Purchase Boar With Heavy Bones
Feed Some Grain Twice Each Day
for the Best Results.

In purchasing a boar 1t is we'll to
bear In mind that one with heavy
bones is more to be desired than one
Of the slight build.
Neither rape nor clover alone will
do for growing, fattening hogs. They
must have some grain twice a day
for best results.
To make fall pigs do well, they must
be provided with warm sleepinglquar-
ters at night, and filled with sunshine
during the day.

few colts may be ruined by heavy
feeding in stalls, where they cannot
take exercise.
The ideal shelter for colts Is q tight
ly built shed, open to the south, where
the animals may go in and out at their
own pleasure, and where they may
have the run Of good big field for
exercise. Idle farm horses can best
be sheltered in the same way. A dry
bed and protection from cold winds,
snow and rain Is all that is needed.

Cautions With DRUG Herbs.

Do not go into the business of grow
ing drug herbs hurriedly. While there
is good demand for some of these, it
is not likely that this demand will
be permanent, and besides the cost OF
preparing many of the herbs is pro-
hibitive.

AS the pastures dry up and cold
weather approaches, the question of
how to care for the growing colt

DARCY NO STACKER.
Mosey King Thinks Les Died of a
 Broken Heart.

Prof Mosev King, boxing instruc- tor at Yale. is one of the many who believes that Les Darcy. the late Australian middleweight. died of a broken heart. King Sunday night ex- pressed the opinion that Governor Whitman of New York state made a grave error by terming Darcy a stacker and by barring him from ap bearing in New York rings. That Whitman's action. which was follow ed by governors of other states. hast ened Darcy's illness and his ulti- mate death. is the conclusion reached by King.
 T do not believe Darcy was stacker" continued King. "and there fore do not think that Whitman was right in doing what he did It was a miscarriage of justice. Darcy did more for his country than some peo- pie know of and furthermore was the sole dependent of a crippled father, an aged mother and several younger brothers and sisters"
 King said there is no doubt but what Darcy worried himself ill and contracted the germ that sent him out of the world. A boxer is more sen sitive than the ordinary person, ac- cording to King. and will break down more readily than men in most sports.
 No matter how good the condition of a man may be-" said King The can not last long under such a strain A man, under such circumstances,

His strength gone, Welsh strove weakly to strike fight ing pose. As he left the ropes Leon ard landed and Welsh hit the floor. He struggled to his feet twice more but each time he was met by 1eonard's rights to the face and head and again he fell to the floor
 The champion took the count of nine before he arose from the last knockdown. He tried to stand but fell across the ropes
 IL was only a question OI H1ODleIltS when he would have fallen and been counted out. At this point Referee Mcfarland leaped between the two men and, pushing Leonard away, car ried the defeated champion to his corner.

 Those golfers who advocate plant ing vegetables on golf links should read the words of David F. Houston, secretary of agriculture. Secretary Houston writes in a current maga- zine:
 The problem presented by the ne- cessitv of increa sed food production is not one of acreage. There is no necessity for attempting to open up new lands for agricultural purposes"
 Golfers who want to do their bit should advocate a small tax on golf balls and should join in the movement Of raising money for the ambulance fund in France through entrance fees to tournaments. It is stated that S1,- 600 will purchase, equip and maintain enc of these ambulances for a period Of six months It is even suggested that in medal rounds ali entrants who have been playing over two years be taxed a dollar for each stroke over 100 they take in making the eighteen holes. This would certainly promote proficiency in the ancient and honor able game or quickly rid the courses of duffers
