My friend Bill Whaley. man
about Hamilton, has got him
self horse by the tail and can't
let go.
Bill, 1t seems, made the mis-
take of attending the Leesburg
livestock auction one Monday a
rev weeks ago. While he was
sitting there, minding his own
business, a horse was led into
the ring.
Bill said the bidding started
of brisk, If not high. He said
somebody called out $43. and the
next thing he realized, he had
shouted $44.
There was a great whoop,"
Bill said, land the horse was
knocked down to me. Me! I
don't even know the back from
the front of a horse"
Bill said the horse had a cold,
and he called the veterinarian
down to take a look at him. He
said he will never forget the look
on DR.. Kent Roberts face when
he looked in the stable.
Kent turned to me-" Bill said,
"and asked, Where in the world
did you get it?'"
You would think" Bill said,

short memory-that dogs don't
long remember their former
masters.
But this doesn't apply to our
Cairn terrier. It has been several
years now since she left her
former home with Freddie and
Shela de Moleyns In Washington
and came to live with us. But she
hasn't forgotten Shela. and puts
on quite an act every time Shela
and Freddie stop in at The 40
Acres.
Countess has been careful who
she lets examine her three pups.
Not even every member of the
family has free access to the
puppy box, but when Shela ana
Freddie stopped in the other day.
Countess was all smiles and was
full of joy.
Seems like she enjoyed taking
Shela over to show of her new
family.

After the very cold weather
around Washington's Birthday,
gardeners are again getting busy
with the many chores which
must be done whenever the
weather permits.
One Of the most pressing jobs
now is preparing the soil for the
early sowing Of seed. Whenever
the soil is dry enough-spade. If
you were lucky enough to have
spaded the garden plot last fall,
you will be way ahead. for good
will probably put the soil
in good condition for early
planting.
Peas and potatoes should be
planted as early as the soil can
be worked. Tomatoes, peppers,
cabbage and broccoli seed may be
sown in pans or pots and kept
moist and growing rapidly in a
sunny window ready for trans
planting first to trays or pots
and later into the garden. Cab
bage and broccoli are cool
weather crops and must be set
out very early.
Many gardeners are using the
slower acting and longer valu-
able plant fertilizers.
Many people are busy pruning
roses. If you are a new grower
and wish to learn how the ex-
perts do it, watch The Sunday
Star for notices of pruning dem

Many gardeners use a roller at
this time of year to push back
into the soil the plants that have
been pushed up by heaving.
One company has introduced
IL new plants this season-three
roses, five chrysanthemums. and
three perennials. Even If you do
not grow them this year. it will
be interesting to watch for them
at the flower shows. A white
Rudbeckis will be worth seeing

Horse That Cost $44 Is No Bargain
BY JAMES BlRcHFIELD

that a horse would appreciate
getting a good feed twice a day,
having a nice, comfortable stable,
and a $400 fence around the
paddock. You would think he
would act like horse should.
But not this one. He won't
let the dog come in his paddock.
He has kicked me in the stomach
and bitten me on the arms. He
threw one guest and knocked
another down with his front feet,
And when he saw a third guest.
he bolted and jumped out of his
lot"
Bill said this horse has shown
him that he will have to forego
the pleasure of riding. But what
to do with him?
"I'll sell him for $50" Bill said,
cor else ! might give him to the
United States Olympic Equestri-
an team. He can jump over the
moon-when he wants to-"
