Boya and girls on ponies or In carta are do longer tbe somewhat rare sight of a camber of years ago. Many fortunate youngsters tpend most of tbelr leisure time In tbe saddle, tbe little girl wearing tbe divided skirt and riding boy faxbipn. gome people think a boy or girl can SHETLAND FONT BOTTABD B. Winner or nrst prlie In stallion class at World's fair, member of the herd of Bell Meade farm, Massachusetts. derive more fun, physical development and ruddy bealtb to the square Inch out of a Shetland pony than lu any other way. In a largr; measure this I true, for by horseback riding every mus cle In the body la brought into play, making it vastly superior to the me chanical exercise obtained from a gym nasium, and In riding and driving a pony tbe child readily acquires self re liance aud courage, quickness of Indi vidual acton and a sense of judgment The accompanying cut from the American Cultivator shows a notable pony, with description as follows: Standing forty Inches high, Howard B. Is of remarkably good conforma tion, having an unusually small bead, full chest, deep body, short back, ex cellent hind quarters and very straight legs, with good bone. Wonderful to relate, be Is as vigorous and In as good condition today as when be en tered the show ring at tbe World's fair and as a perfect specimen of tbe Shetland la difficult to be excelled either for beauty or speed. His color Is black and white. A Contrast. The largest horse so far as Is known was brought to Watertown, Minn., by Sylvester Dory of this city, wbo traded herd of Shetland ponies for him, says tbe St Paul Pioneer Press. The animal stands eighty-one Inches high and welgbr close to 3,000 pounds. He was raised by H. II. Carroll, a farmer living near Doland, in this state. OPPORTUNITY. Staking a Hog on Pasture. A plan for tying out male hogs, as cows are tied out on pasture or range, 1s shown in tbe accompanying lilus- tratlon, which is the Idea of one of our readers. A double girth of me dium sized chain la made to fit the body of the bog before and directly boo mo OCT. behind the shoulders. Below they are connected by a few links of chain, and the chain from tbe stake la also con nee ted with tbe harness bore. We are informed that this ia a very satis factory way of keeping bogs on range where it la impossible to have a ape- rial lot for tbelr use, remarks Iowa Homestead. The Consumer's Error. The consumer Is often to lie blamed for tbe milk aourlng quickly. First class milk left at bis house In a clean tattle and at a low temperature may be aour or off flavor twelve hours later because It was left standing in a warm kitchen for a few minutes or waa pour ed Into a pan that had been washed In the dlshpan and wiped on a towel that had done service for all kinds of diahea for several days. Also milk should Dot be left standing In tbe uii a uiinut fter the milkman leaven It. More Horse Meat. In 1000 Sfl.O)0 horses were slaughtered for food In Paris, furnishing about 12. 000 tons of meat Formerly horse meat waa eaten by only tbe joorest classes, but now It Is no longer regard ed as refuse meat, and Its consumption by the working classes Is rapidly in creasing throughout Europe. Onion Land. Land that baa grown any crop re quiring high culture and heavy manur ing and la free from weed seeds will generally grow good onlona. Some times onlona are raised on newly clear ed woodland or prairie sod with great success simply by sowing the seed broadcast and harrowing it In. But tMs la seldom attempt! d.-Green. Superintendent's Address Before Boys' Farm Encampment Br H. a. BCSSELU Kansas. America Is but another name for op portunity. France baa eight persons to onr one per square mile; Europe has nearly four to our one. Tbe United States has 12 per cent better land than Europe. Haven't you better opportu nlties than tbe boys of France and Eu rope? Our danger is that of becoming extravagant, of fulling to learn the les sons of systematic saving and certain economy so necessary for the Euro pean boy to learn and 'ictlce. Opportunity Always Knocking, It Is said that opportunity knocks once at the door of every man and that tbe one wbo was out knocks erer afterward. The first part of tbe state ment is not true unless you make tbe "once" rend "all tbe time." Opportu nlty Is with you all the time. Great corporations are constantly looking for men of brains and character, men who can do something that is needed In tbe world's work. Learn to do something that Is useful and do It well and your fortune Is made If you will keep at It. Today Is Doer's Day. This la an age of doing. Be able to "deliver tbe goods" and you will be wanted. The test is doing. Learn bow to think and you will soon know what to think. A man is of little value until be can take care of himself. Learn to take care of yourself and help others to the same high standard. An honorable calling Is any calling that makes a man stronger for tbe world's work, anything that needs to be done for the advancement of our civilization. Do not all try to get into professions. Do not let your parents kill themselves; trying to make and save for you. Make and save for your aelves. Near the Top. Every one can work at wages that will enable him to live and save some thing, but tbe greater demand hi near tbe top. The builder of a railroad showed me three vacant chairs in bis ofiice snd told me tie would pay $2,500 per year to persons wbo could CM tbem and do the work. They had been va cant for three months. He also said that be had advertised for common laborers and got a train load. I watched with great Interest tbe building of a church in a little city. The workmen wbo excavated tbe earth received $1.C0 per day. The stonema sons wbo followed received $4 per day, the brlckmnsons fit. tbe man wbo did the frescoing $15 per day aud tbe ar cbltect $25 per day'. Tbe man who put on tlie finishing touches of lieiuty nu'l the man who curried that liullill:ig !'! his head before a stroke was made to ward lis erection received the highest prices for their services. Work Along a Lin You Fit. The man who will find n cure for in;; cholera will do the world more good than the mini who can repent Homer lu the original. The man rU.i cuu destroy the chinch bug is worth more thun the man who ran exhume a Troy or uncover a Pompeii. Direct your talents along lines thut you fit and add something to tbe sum total of human knowledge. Give more than you receive. It wou t hurt you, but will help instead. Garden HORSE THAT PAYS. The Drafter a Money Coiner For th Farmer Breeder. By RCFUB C. OBRECHT, University of Illinois experiment station. Draft horses whose principal work Is to baul heavy loads at the walk are divided Into three subclasses, heavy draft light draft and loggers, all of which are much of tbe same type. Tbe Ideal drafter la a rugged, heavy set compactly built horse with great weight and strength. Strength and en durance are the principal qualities A Crcd 0jpr-ly-It li rciuarluilile how ra li'.ly u su;i ly of g.ulu may bo built up from a single fmir or five pound sample Take. for example, a four pound sample of unts. This with ordinary cure will 9 ually produce on tbe averago about four bushels. This sown the next sea son on two acres of land will, at a very moderate estimate, give 100 and some times upward of 200 bushels. Taking the lower figure as the basis for tbls calculation, the crop at the end of the second year would be sufficient to sow fifty acres, which at the same moder ate computation would furnish 2,500 buabels as available for seed or sale at tbe end of the third yiSf.-Dr. Wil liam Saunders. Nut Growing. Nut growing In the United States would be a much more profitable In dustry were It not for tbe insects which Inhabit tbe kernels, rendering them unfit for food. Tbls Is especially true of the chestnut and chinquapin nd to a lesser extent of pecan, hick ory and bnxel nuts, while others, which Include butternuts, walnuts and al monds, suffer little or no Inlury from this source. Considerable diminution In the yield of many forms of nuts Is also caused by tbe Inroads of Insect larvae In the growing huska. Exam plea of the first class are tbe chestnut worms or weevils, of the second th husk worms and walnut curcullo. Transplanting Cabbage.

Height seventeen hands, weight 2,150 pounds. sought and are best secured by the horse throwing weight Into the collar rather than by muscular exertion of the limbs. The drafter should be a broad, massive Individual with sym metry of bone and muscle, standing from 15.3 to 17.2 bands high and In good flesh weighing not less than 1,000 pounds for the lighter sorts. Since he does big work by throwing weight Into the collar, tbe heavier tbe horse, other things being equal, tbe" more efficient he will be. Along wltb weight he should possess moderately heavy bone with quality, indicating sufficient strength and substance to carry bis body and not give tbe appearance of being top heavy. His height should result from depth of body rather than length of leg. In fact, as a rule, the me dium short legged horses possess more endurance than those wltb long legs. He should be broad of cbest, with a large girth and not cut up In the flank. His legs should set well under bis body, fur if tbey are otherwise and be la very broad be will likely be inclined to roll, causing laborious action. The back and coupling should bo short and tbe loin broad and well muscled, tbls region being the connecting link Join log tbe propellers to tbe weight car riers. The hips should be rounding and emootb, the croup Hong and mus cular, the quarters deep, the thighs broad, tbe gaskins and cannons rela tively short. The bead should be me dium In size and neatly set on a neck of good length, with crest moderately heavy and well developed. The ideal conformation of the draft horse will vary somewhat according to the mar ket under consideration. European markets, especially British markets, want a more upstanding draft horse with a longer neck than is demanded by American markets. New York, be ing a great shipping port, demands lar ger and more upstanding horses than TIMBER LANDSIL00K HERE Fuller & Elliott Only Real Estate firm in Polk CouDty handling nmoer juana exclusively Don't fail to call or write if you have bare timber to sell.
