Testimony That Can't Be Refuted in
Liquor Cases.

r. Il. Williamson of Sylvester, Ca,
contributes the following:
In an endeavor TO put an end to
"bootlegging" ii has become an almost
universal custom in this and surround
ing Jurisdictions for the court TO ask
party accused of "having wiskey''
to tell where he secured the liquor. ].
The usual answer is: ! bought it,"
Then the question follows: ''Who
sold il TO youl And among the darkies
of this county the answer is invariably

guilty TO having in his possession a
small quantity Of whiskey, and when
the court was about 10 pass sentence
upon him, asked him;
"WeIl, Henry. YOU are from the
southern part Of the county; / sup
pose you got your liquor from a man

The darby promptly answered: "No,
sir. he lited down near Bridgeboro.'
The court-Was he a negro OF a

In this publication attention is called
to the great reputation made by the

This regiment was mounted on Nor

their short strong legs, round, full

called forth universal admiration,
What applied TO cavalry horses then

MORGAN HORSES LARGER.
Government Farm at Middlebury Re.
ports Progress in Breeding Animals.


There has been steady increase in
the weight and height Of horses main
tanned at the United States Morgan
horse farm at Middlebury, VT, says a
report by the department. Of agricul-
ture OH breeding Morgan horses at the
United States Morgan horse farm. In
1911 the average height Of mature
stations was l4.3 hands and of mature
mares Jap ~ hands. BY 1916 these
figures had been raised to Is and lab,
respectively, and by this year to To-
Isl ~ and Az l2. The average
weight from mature stations in 1911
was I.O25 pounds; in 1916 I040
pounds; and in 1921 it had been in
creased to 1900. In the same period
the weight of mares went from LOIS to
l,063.
AT the same time, however, the
other qualities received just as much
consideration as size. A frequent OBJ
lection raised against the Morgan
horse has been that it is too small, but
the steady improvement in scale and
weight is making the modern Morgan
handy and desirable horse for use on
farms, as pleasure saddle horses, for
police mounts and for cavalry purposes
points out the report. 1t has good
speed and exceptional endurance.
