SHORTAGE OF HORSES
Farmers Experiences Difficulty in OBJ
tanning Animals Required for
Farm Work.

Difficulty is being experienced by
many farmers In obtaining work horses
needed. This fact has been made clear
to W. II. Peters, chief of the animal
husbandry division of the University
of Minnesota, by the number of In
quiries made by him and members of
his star as to the available supply of
farm work horses.
There Isn't any doubt that for the
last two years the number Of colts
raised has been less than the number
of horses that have died." said Pro
fessor Peters. SIS the Inevitable re
suit of this condition already making
itself evident? II this condition Is
maintained nm acute shortage Of worb
horses Is bound to result.
Farmers who have good sound
mares will find 1t profitable to breed
them. This Will be particularly tr7ie
IL the mares can be mated to n good
sound stallion of desirable draft type.
In communities where such n stallion
is not available any farmer with n half
dozen or more mares will find 1t prof
itnble to purchase and keep such a

Harriet was introduced. A moment

dashed up to them, and there was a

and streamed away chattering. The
matron in yellow came back to her
card table. And Harriet, unfurling

the captured soldier, sauntered slowly
after the tennis players. The after
loon sunshine sent clean shadows
across the clipped grass the stretched
blue silk of Harriet's parasol threw a
mellow orange light upon her tawny
hair and sa~ffron-colored gown.
Richard had a child's desperate
wish that he was dressed, and might
run after them.
But 1t was not at the tennis that he
looked, twenty minutes later, when he
reached the courts; although a bril-
liant play was being made, and there
was a scattering of applause. His
eyes instantly found Harriet's figure;
she was still talking to the French
man, whose olive face was glowing
with interest and admiration, and not
more than eight inches, Richard
thought, from her own. Harriet's own
face wore the Shadow of a smile, her
lashes were dropped, and she was
gently pushing the point of her closed
parasol into the green turf. The
chairs in which they sat had been
slightly turned from the court.
Richard engaged himself in CONVEX

women who were watching the young
sters' game. and presently found him

ace. But after perhaps five minutes
he walked quite without volition,

slowly crossed the hall to the door of

half-audible goodnight. Richard stood
watching the door for a mi or two
after 1t had closed upon the slender,
dimly seen figure. Then he went to
