Madsen "The Arab horse is a type by himself. He is distinctly different from all other horseflesh, not ony in the formation of his bone struc ture, but in his temperament He stands alone. The build of the Arab is perfect It is esentially that - of utility. He is a perfect animal; he is not large here and small there. He is the quintessence of all good qualities in a compact form. Nature, when she made the Arab, made no mistake, and man has not been able to spoil him. This is what Homer Davenport said in "My Quest of the Ara Horse," published back in 190. He had just returned from several months on the Arabian desert, purchasing Arabian horses. Even before he left Silv erton to becomfc , a famous cartoonist, he was noted for his knowledge of horses. This is also practically the same thing Mr. and Mrs. Lee Eyerly said in February, 1945. They had just returned to the board fenc after a round with their Arabian horses in the barn lot on their ranch once the Illahee goljf course southwest of Salenii, Eyerly added that "the horse is back to stay, the afterwar demand will be great" and mentionedhiih as a recreational animal. i There are those who may take issue with Eyerly on this lasj statement: those who claim the horse is a necessity. I mentioned as much to the Ey erlys as we watched their horses frisk about beyond the white fenc es. "That's all right with me," Eyf erly grinned, "just so long as they claim the horse."' Former Garage Man Some who knew Eyerly first as a young garage man or the own er of a commercial airplane pro ject or even as the inventor and manufacturer (which he says was purely accidental) of the familiar dizzy-makers at state fairgrounds may think that horses are just a fad with him. But they are wrong. Horses, he says, are in his blood, and adds by way of explanation As I watched Airs. Eyerly grace fully handling L lam, I decided she too, was that way. I Islam, a dark bay stallion, is all that Davenport says Arabian hors es are. Mr. and Mrs. Eyerly, al though readily admitting thejr didn't pay that much for him, say they wouldn't sell him lor $5000. The Eyerly's bought their first Arabian horses three mares in 1938 in Tacoma. They paid $3000 frl Hm on1 oT1 it "a 1apintn There are now ten foal mares ott the ranch.

The latter, is a favor ite around Salem where he has been seen in' various exhibitions in recent years. ; Favorite Palamino !"HoneybOy,'T says Mrs. Eyerly, is almost one of the family. He'll never be sold. He will be permitted to! die on the ranch." j The Eyerlys plan to build their string of hdrses to a minimum of 15 brood mares, which. will 'make fun of from 4 to 50 horses in it Selling horses has already begun on the ranch and colts now racing about, will be trained and sold in about three years. While Arabians will be the chief interest, there are a lew t otner horses on J the ranch which are not fullblooded Arabian, j ' Arabian I blood improves any horse, Mr. Eyerly says. The Arab ian is more durable, more intelli gent and has better confirmation. Nine hundred and fifty pounds of Arabian horse can outwork 1200 pounds of j just horse. Interbreed ing the coldblooded, poorer types of horse to the Arabian will great ly j improve; the valley horse breed, Eyerly insists. - ; ! Mr. Eyerly is not of the opinion that the horse will ever go: back as! a utility farm animaLl But neither does he believe the present interest in him as recreational material will wane after the war. Rather, he says, it will increase. Ahd the horse ; will always have its uses, oh the ranch. The Eyerly farms comprise about 1000 acres of land of which 600 are in the home ranch, - and 400 "overj across the hilt" Mr. Eyerly admits, that while he re tains the managership of the farm he is no farmer in the true sense But his foreman, Frank Sollen- berger is, he says. The ranch has to pay for .itself. The hilly part V , t k - "''i. ? '" 'W' u u ; - Sometimes it's fun to "take chances' but NOT with your eyes. In the first place, they're too valuable to Irish.

Rats Do Damage i Worth Alillion Yearly on Farms i The main cause of rat Infesta tion on farms, as pointed j out by the specialists, is favorable rat harbors, safe refugees near an abundant food supply. Common rat harbors include places where they are protected from cats and dogs, beneath buildings, piles -of fence posts, lumber, old machine ry and rubbish, beneath piles of sacks, boxes in barns and gran aries. Over a million dollar dam age Is contributed to rats yearly. 67 50 Moral Ton -- r t 1 ft
