tached to his horses and keeps them
as long as they are useful, many
have come to and gone from the
Shourds stable. He always finds a
good home for his horses to keep
them from going on their way to the
boneyard between the shafts OF a
delivery wagon. Three OF his old
faithful mounts are pensioned out on
farms near Chicago. One of them,
old Mascot, Mr.. Shrouds exhibited
at the Chicago Worlds Fair, and he
is now 81 years old.
Several years ago Mr.. Shourds
conceived the idea of preserving the
memories if his pets in clay models.
II studied statues wherever saw
them, and decided, to do the work

work, but | read about children mod

other students at the Art institute,
where l soon learned the rudiments
of clay moeling."
Pose for Their Master.
As he lives with his horse and
dogs year after year, he makes a
careful study of every line of their
bodies. When they begin to ap-
proach the pension age they are
backed up into one corner of the lot
and asked to pose while their master
makes a clay model of them..
Nj. Shourds has miniature barn
yard in his attic studio filled with
clay models of the horses and dogs
he has outlived. He can call each
horse by name just as he did many
years ago when he asked Mascot or
Jumbo or Billy to lower his back
while he swung into the saddle. A
mere glance at the model of the
dogs reminded him of the way
Teddy and Tam with their long,
lanky bodies used to leap through
the air to lick his hand as he logged
along on the bride path.

"Farmerettes"
Shy in Nebraska
Only 10 Per Cent of Farms
In State Being Operated
By Women.

Nebraska has fewer "farmerettes"
than any other state in the union,
only l.9 per cent OF the farmers in
the state being women, according to
a report by the Department OF Az
riculture. ....
In contrast to this, the report says,
a recent census showed that Rhode
Island has 7.2 per cent women farm
ers, placing it ahead of all other
states. Only in five states is the
proportion of women farmers over 8
per cent of the total. Those five
states are Rhode Island, Mississippi,
Connecticut, Alabama and Massa-
chusetts.
This report does not take into
consideration the number OF women
who work on farms, but only those
who operate farms through owner
ship, leasehold or management for
another party. Separate figures by
states are not given, but a total OF
26l,553 farms are operated by
women in the United States, or al
per cent of the 6,44S,36o farms in the
country. ...
The report states, however, that
women rank above men in the per-
centage who own their own farms
Only 60.4 per cent OF the male
farmers owned their farms IN 1920
while of the female operators, T.o
per cent worked their own farms.
The average size farm of the woman
agriculturist is given as 98.o acres,
while that of the average farm op-
Grated by men as 1903 acres.
Texas was at the top of the num-
Der of acres under cultivation by
women in 1920, with 2,806,28l acres
under cultivation by them.

Mount Vernon, Ia, Aug. IA
Prof. L. May, head of the May school
OF professional and commercial art
of New York City, has been secured
to succeed Prof. H. A. Mills, who
has retired from the teaching pro-
fession after having ably served Cor
nell college as head of the depart
ment of art. The new head holds
an NJ. A. degree from Columbia uni
versity and has had extensive art
training as teacher of art both in
New York City and in the state col
lege for women.
According to the prediction OF ed
ucators one of the most outstanding
changes of the colleges in the next
IS years will be the increasing EN-.
phasis upon the aesthetic work OF
colleges and universities. English,
the material sciences, and the social
sciences and foreign languages have
had their places highly developed.
Now psychologists are joining with
educators in urging that the aesthetic
side of the individual should be de.
veloped along with the physical and
the intellectual. .......+.
In harmony with this tendency,
and possibly assuming a: place OF
leadership with regard to It. Cornell
college has taken an advance step
in Connection with the art work OF
that institution this year.
In, addition to Principles OF
Drawing" courses will be offered
in "The History and Appreciation
OF Art" and classes formed in va
rious departments OF art work Tor
theoretical and practical training. 1t
is the announced intention OF the
college to enlarge this departmeqtt
affording the students the very best
that can be obtained both in the
oretical and practical, lines. 80

BY FRANK RIDGWAY. -.
All his life Clayton B. Shourds
has loved horses and dogs. At II
he climbs his big chestnut sorrel
horse every day, winter or summer,
cold or hot, and spends "a brisk hour
or two on the bride paths of Jackson
and Washington parks. Clayton B..
Shourds, astride his prancing mount
with one or two coach dogs barking
at his side, has been a familiar fig
ure on the bride paths and streets
of Chicago for so years. = .s.
After the clock of time has ticked
off more than three-quarters of a
century, filled with activities that
would have stopped the shoulders OF
the average man, Mr.. Shourds is
still able to sit up straight in his sad
die with the ease and vigor of his
early 40s. He attributes his unbent
figure to the fact that he has not been
without a saddle horse for fifty
years.

Horseback riding has kept him IN

loves his horse and dogs and because
he fully appreciates the value OF
such exercise. He expects to ride as
long as he can creep to the side OF
his horse and crawl into the saddle.
As he sat the other day in the
shade at his beautiful home making
a mental survey of his whole neigh
borhood and his old neighbors, Mr..
Shourds said that most OF OF his old
friends, many of them about his age,
were gone.
II would have gone along with the
rest if it had not been for my saddle
horses" he mused, gently fumbling
the soft, tissue-like ears of his old
pet dog, Beeswax. Riding horse
back is the best exercise ! know OF,
and it's good for persons OF all ages.
But if you expect to fully enjoy it
you must love horse.
His Favorite Mount.
Teaching his horses tricks is one
of Mr.. Shourds' hobbies, and they
seem to enjoy it. He does not need
mounting, block to climb on the
back of. Monte, his favorite mount,
for as soon as Mr.. Shourds begins
to gather the reins Monte makes
short steps forward with his front
feet, stretching out as far as he can
reach and lowering his back for his
master to mount. He stretches out
in the same way for the dismount.
Then Monte will pick up his mas
ter's hat, handkerchief or glove as
they are tossed to the ground,
stretching his long, slender neck as
far as he can reach to place them in
the riders hand. With the attitude
of clown he will blink his eyes,
wiggle his ears, and shuttle across
the lot in hurry when he is told
to mount a pedestal. But Monte al
ways expects a lump of sugar at the
conclusion of each act. Smoking a
Missouri corncob pipe and Jumping
through a hoop are some of the
tricks Beeswax, his glass-eyed dog,
has learned.
