HEAVY HORSE is
MOST PROFITABLE

Good, heavy horses are now bring
ing price on the market that makes
them profitable for many farmers to
raise. To realize profitable prices,
however, they must have weight
1000 pounds or more-and must be of
good type and conformation, sound,
with good style, action and attractive
appearance.
To raise good, marketable horses,
two things are absolutely necessary
good breeding stock, and proper de-
velopment of the colts.
There has been an increase in breed
ing in the last few years and there are
probably more colts on the farms in
the Dakota farmer empire than there
have been for several years. The
future value of these colts will depend
In a great measure upon the way they
are handled and cared for from wean-
ing time until they go to pasture next
spring. They may live If they are
forced to depend upon the straw stack
for feed and shelter through the win
ter but a colt so treated has little
chance of growing into big, rugged,
marketable horse.
1t is generally conceded by horsemen
that a draft colt should be at least
one-half as heavy at twelve months
old as he will be at maturity; and
they also agree that colt severely
stunted during the first year of it's life
will never reach it's fullest possible de-
velopment. Since the matter of weight
means so much in market value of the
mature horse, no one who regards the
profit can afford to neglect the young
colt

UHO SAID
mo sword bites so fiercely
as an evp tongue

THE man who uttered these words
L of wisdom was Sir Ralph Sidney,
one of the conspicuous figures at the
court of Queen Elizabeth and one Of
the queens favorite courtiers. Sir
Phillip had an intimate knowledge Of
the workings of the life at the court
of EngIand's monarch, and his re-
mark, mo sword bites so fiercely as
an evil tongue" may well be con-
sidered mature reflection on the
meteoric rise and fall of so many ia
vorites of the queen.
Sir Phillip had seen many rise to
power, prominence and favor in court
circles, only to be dashed to Oblivion
by the wagging of some evil tongue.
And when this man compared the
biting of an evil tongue to a sword,
he knew whereof he spoke-for Sir
Phillip Sidney was a warrior as well
as man of letters, and it was on
the battlefield that he gave his life
for his nation and his queen.
Sir Phillip was born in Kent, Eng
land, in 1854. Upon completing his
education, he was introduced at court
and Queen Elizabeth at once took a
fancy to him. AS mark of her favor,
she sent him as ambassador to Ger
many. Upon his return he married
Frances, daughter of Sir Francis
Walsingham. and the same year
(15S3) the queen admitted him to the
peerage. In the year 1885 he went
to the Netherlands.
In addition to his fame as court
Ter and soldier, Sir Phillip Sidney
is known-best, perhaps-as man
of letters. His best known works are
1.-The Arcadia medley in prose
and verse after the prevalent Italian
style of the period: "Astrophel and
Stella the first important body of
sonnets in English; and THE Defence
of Poesy," published in 1595.--Wayne
