QUALITY AND CONFORMATION

The knees should be straight, wide,
deep, strongly formed, and Bmoolh!
The cannons, extending from the knees
to the fetlocks, and composed chiefly
Df bones and tendons, should be short.
Btrong, clean and wide, with promi-
nent and smooth tendons. The fet-
locks should be wide, straight, strong,
and free from puffs, callouses, or In
lerfertng sores. The pasterns, extend-
ing from the fetlocks to the hoof
heads, should be moderately sloping,
utrong and clean.
The tendency in the average draft
horse Is toward short, upright pasterns
and stubby gait. Tills is highly objec-
tionable as are also very long, weak
pnsternB, which bring the back of the
fetlocks too close to the ground. The
latter cause strain upon the tendons
ivhen drawing heavy loads. The short
•i'right pasterns are even more object-
ionable since they prevent Bpringy,
elastic action of the feet and allow
concussion to jar the bony columns of
the legs. The irritation and Inflam-
mation Induced by continued Jarring
often results in eidebones, ringbones,
corns and kindred diseases. The bone
of the pastern should have a slope
of about 45 degrees and the front of
the foot BO degrees. Horses having up-
right pasterns and consequent stubby
action wear out quickly when used
upon paved streets.
The hoofs should be ample in size,
sound, smooth and symmetrical in
shape.
The chest. Inclosing the heart and
lungs, should be roomy in every re-
spect. "An ample, wide, deep chest
denotes vigor, power, strong constitu-
tion and easy keeping qualities." The
ribs form the "barrel" and should be
deep, well sprung and carried low at
the flanks and close to the hips The
back, extending from the rear of the
withers to the last rib, should be
broad, straight and muscular. In gen
eral appearance it should denote
great strength and compactness. The
loins Bhould be short, wide, deep and
strong. The underline should run
back full and low from the floor of
the chest.
The upper part of the hind quarter
ahould bIiow great development of
wide, thick, smooth muscle without
angularities apd coarseness. The
croup, the part of the hind quarter
from top of the hip to the insertion of
the tail, should show comparative
levelneBs, ample muscle and great
strength.
The most notable deficiency of this
part in draft horses is excessive droop
or Bteeptiess and shortness, with weak
ness of muscle. Such conformation
tends to slouchlness in gait and often
is associated with "sickle" hocks. The
draft croup should be smooth, of fair
length, nnd neither too steep nor per-
fectly level.
The thighs from Ihe hips down to
the stifles should be strong, musaular,
wide and long.
The gaBkins, or lower thighs, corre-
spond to the forearms, and should
have the same qualities; the muscles
Bhould be large, prominent In front of

the bone, and carried well downward.
The hocks are most important joints
because the great strain of starting
and hauling a load falls upon them,
and they will soon break down if not
very strong and perfectly Bound.. The
joints should be large, clean, sharply
defined, wide, deep and well set.
Forage for Sheep.
Every flock owner should give spe-
cial attention to providing the best of
supplemental forage and pasture for
his sheep to help out the other pas-
ture and supply the flock with a
change of feed.
Every sheep feeder should awaken
to his opportunities and put a stop
to Belling his lambs In a poor condi-
tion.
The comparatively small expense
of maintaining a breeding flock and
fattening wethers is distinctly at-
tractive to the trained business mind
A ewe showing too much masculln
lty and a ram showing too much fem-
ininity are to be avoided for such ani-
mals are apt to produce progeny that
are not uniform.

HAYTI'S LATEST PRESIDENT
Just at present "Gen." Cinclnnatus
Leconte claims the right to be called
president of Haiti. He's a mulatto
with a reputation for blood lust.
When old Nord Alexis was president
in 1908 Leconte was minister of the
Interior in his cabinet. A black man
named Simon got up a revolution and
for months there was bloodshed In
Haiti. Leconte ordered ten promi-
nent sympathizers with the revolution
to be taken from their beds in Port
au Prince, marched them to a ceme-
tery, stood them up in a row, shot
them to death and buried them on the
spot. Nevertheless the revolution
succeeded. Old Nord Alexis was
driven into exile and Simon was made
president. Of course Leconte had to
flee from the blood stained black re-
public. He took refuge in Jamaica
nnd began intriguing for the downfall
of Simon and his own elevation to the
presidency. In May he returned and
began w'hat proved to be a successful
revolt. In the meantime "Gen " Antenor Firmin was heading another revolt.
The two rebel armies approached Port au Prince from different directions.
It looked as though Port au Prince was to be given up to rapine, but tfle
American minister, H. M. Furniss, went out to the rebels and told them
they could coijie in and take possession, but if they began the old program
of slaughtering the people and destroying property they would have to reckon
with Uncle Sam. Leconte's army marched in, he was proclaimed president
and the senate regularly elected him for the term of seven ;vc-ars.
Cork the Beauty Center
For feminine beauty go to Cork. On
the occasion of her first visit to Ire-
land—in 1849—Queen Victoria wrote
of the women of Cork: "The beauty
struck us much; such beautiful dark
eyes and hair, and such tine teeth; |
almost every third woman was pretty,
and some remarkably so." Of the wo-
men of Belfast there was less to be
said, nothing more than: "The people
are a mixture of nations, and feminine
beauty had almost disappeared."—Lon-
don Chronicle.
"Is Marriage a Failure"
( When we ask, "Is marriage a fail-
j ure?" we might as well ask, "Is life a
|lailure?" for marriage partakes of the
imperfection of life, and, no more than
| life, is to be condemned for its im-
perfections. It is quite true that no
marriages are perfectly happy, just as
no lives are perfectly happy. But.
those who attack marriage fpr this
reason assume that it is an institution
designed to produce perfect happiness
that is to say, they assume an ab-
surdity.—London Times,
