INVESTING IN MACHINERY

If two men, driving one horse
each, can combine the two
horses into one team which one
man can drive. and this team
can do as much or more work
than the two did singly, isn't it
wise TO combine them and save
one mans time?
And If the farm is large and
conditions warrant, isn't it wise
to combine two of these two
horse teams into one, and save
another mans time2
But before making these extra
investments it is wise for the
farmer TO consider well the cost
and the probable gain. If extra
horses and implements cost
more than they viii produce, OF
course it would be unwiSe TO
make the investment.

ORIGIN of Assassin. ;,

for which Egyptians will pay such
high price, has given us our word,
assassin" These desperadoes form
ed originally secret society in Fer
STA, relates London Chronicle, in the
eleventh century, members of which
were under a VOW of blind obedience
to their chief. They were called upon
to perpetrate the most atrOcious deeds,
and before these ruffians wert sent
out to perform their grewsome tasks
they were given hashish, by which
they were thrown into kind of &C.
stasy or intoxication. Hence they were
called "Hashishin," meaning hemp
eaters. The word became part of
Western languages, but was changed
into "assassins."

JOHNNY M'TAGGART

Jumped From Messenger to Great
Jockey in Short Order.
Famous Little Rider Quit Delivering
Messages to Mount Horse When
Older Brother Was lncapaci-

Little Johnny McTaggart, consid-
cred by many followers of racing the
best jockey since the great Tod Sloan
quit riding the gallopers, began his
struggle in the big work-a-day world
as a messenger boy.
Johnny was born on Manhattan Is
land, and from an humble beginning
as an A. D. T. Mercury he drifted in
to the racing game, where in four
years time he has worked his way in
to the jockey major league. Johnny,
Of course, got his inspiration to be-
come jockey from his brother, Tom,
and although Tommy is a great jock,
his younger brother has passed him
in the matter of riding winners.
The old saw about good horses max
ing good jockeys may be all right, but
according to Johnny McTaggart, the
good jockeys can ride poor horses to
victory, as he has done so many
times.
Riding under the colors of r. T.
Wilson, and plotting such horses as
the great Campfire, which won nearly
$4,000 for his owner last year, Nc
Taggart holds the hopes and fears
of those who follow Wilson's cOlors
every time he mounts a horse.
He was seventeen years old when
he first started out as jockey, and
he scaled at so pounds. Today, with
four years added to his age, he can
make 1O3 pounds and still be strong
His first race at Belmont Park, will
always stand as one of the most re
| markable performances. Johnny was
| at the track with his brother, Tommy
| who was to ride August BelmOnt's
Mission.
For some reason Tommy could not
ride that day, and Johnny ppt on the
| colors to see how he would look in
them. Louis Fuestal, trainer for Bel

when he spied Johnny and wheI
Johnny pleaded to be allowed to take
his brothers place Fuestal consented
and sent him to the post with the re
mark that "she has no chance, any
how"
One of Whitney's horses, Prince Eu
gene, was 1 to s choice in the race
and the Belmont mare was quoted IL

The Oldest Living Creature

Among the oldest life forms on the
globe Is the shellfish, known as the
lingula, specimen of which was ia
ken from Manila bay several years ago.
The genus, according to scientists, has
remained practically unaltered for
more than a hundred million years.
With the extraordinary changes of eli
mate and environment since the world
began most forms of life with which
science is familiar have been trans
formed or have altogether disappeared
since the geologic ages. '"That the
genus lingula," says the Journal Of
Heredity, SHOULD have survived for
all these ages, and undergone virtually
no change, is striking evidence of the
fact that the germ plasm, which under
some conditions, as in the case of the
horse and the dog, is capable of extra
ordinary variation, is under other con-
ditions remarkably constant"
