COST OF HORSE BLEMISHEs
Defects Cannot Always Be Prevented,
but One Bad Spot VIII Prove
Expensive.

A horse market report from one Of
the Western selling points says:
when present, blemishes take of up
to $50 or even more from the price OF
first-rate animals af the same type"
Blemishes can't always be prevented,
but it is good business to try to pre-
vent them, for, as can readily be seen,
one bad spot in the makeup OF
horse may mean the difference be-
tween profit and loss on him. Outside
of precautions to prevent injury the
only safeguard against blemishes Is
to breed only sound mares to sound
stations. Sometimes colt will be
CURLY or otherwise defective, In spite
of all that can be done to avoid sucn
weaknesses, but that is no argument
against trying to produce only the
| good ones.

tongue has gradually changed, as

BALD HEADS AT PEACE TABLE

but took notes regarding the hair.
mustaches, boards and whiskers OF the
peacemakers.
Two-thirds of the delegates were
more or less bald. Perhaps some OF
them made up for this by wearing
mustaches. Out Of 66 men who sat
round the peace table. all had mus
taches but IA.
Whiskers, on the other hand. were
not popular. Only three people wore
them, and by a curious coincidence
the names Of all these three people
began with v. They were Venizelos
| of Greece, vandervelde Of Belgium
| and vassitch Of Serbia. The latter's
whiskers were particularly prominent
In regard to dress, there was less
formal attire than one might have
imagined. The English paid no special
attention to dress. High hats and frock
coats, once a combination that would
never have been sanctioned. were
quite popular; but there were SOM
countries which put all they knew Int
their attire. These were, notably. tn
