To the adherent of the wonderful

would prove an Irresistible attraction.
Under such circumstances the small

Stucco houses of this general type
are unusually attractive and have long
been In vogue. The architectural de-

be Inconsiderable and storage room

LISTEN'TO THE BLACKSMITH
Avers That His Equine Friends Are
at Proud of New Shoes as
Little Boys.
Wo happened to hold converse with
n horseshoor tho other day. Ho Is n
veteran who can remember the day
when ho not only had to forgo lilt
own shoes but even tho nails thnt
tacked them on. He snjs that horses
nro like little bojs. Soino of them aro
Intensely proud of a new pnlr of shoes.
Ho mentioned ono nmrc that tries to
turn In ut thu shop door every tlnio
sho passes. Sho Is so fond of the
feel of new shoes that she fairly
prances when sho leaves the shop.
Then ho told about the old doctor'i
old maro that would como by hersell
to tho shop whenever she wns loose.
"I nlwnys had to pick up her shoes
and look at them" snld tho smith. "If
I happened to be busy sho would hnng
nround for an hour nnd wait for me to
examine her feet. If nny work wns
needed I did It nnd charged It up to
tho doctor. If her shoos were nil
right I would glvu them a few tnpi
with the hamtnur and then the oh'
girl was satisfied." The smith thinks
that mares nro prouder than geldings
of a new pair of shoes. He attributes
this to natural feminine good sense
rather than vanity. We don't vouch
for tho truth of his nnecdotes but we
will say thut It Is hard to find n mora

All through the New England states

NEGLECT OF TEETH
ENDS IN DISASTER
Examination May Be Made by
Running Hand Into Horse's
Mouth Furnish Soft Feed.
Many n horse becomes weak poor
In condition and emaciated 6lmply as
a result of bad teeth which have been
neglected. If the horse turns his head
to one side while eating shows signs
of poor nutrition nnd passes whole
grains of oats or corn with tho feces
his teeth need attention.
The continual grinding of tho teeth
In eating cuuses the outer edges of the
upper molars nnd the Inner edges of
tho lower molars to become sharp.
These sharp edges lacerate tho thin
skin of tho Inner cheek and thu tongue
and make chewing painful. This nnd
Irregular teeth tend to cause tho ani-
mal to Imperfectly chew his feed be-
fore swallowing It; nnd unless tho teeth
receive proper utteutlon thu animal
becomes emaciated.
In old animals tho teeth often bo-
como smooth making It Impossible
for them to chew liny and grain. In
such cctes only soft feeds should bo
given.
An cxnmlnntlon of tho teeth may
bo made by running tho hand Into tho
mouth nnd feeling them to see If they
rtro shnrp or If any of them nro too
long. Only n ouallfled veterlnurlan
should be nllowcd to treat the teeth.

GLANDERS IS MOST
INFECTIOUS DISEASE
As There Is No Cure for TrouDle
It Is Best to Destroy Affect-
ed Animal at Once.
OInntlers Is an Infectious disease af-
fecting horses nnd sometimes attacks
man. Ono of thu symptoms is the for-
mation of ulcers In tho nose nnd a dis-
charge mixed with blood but without
an offensive odor from the nose. The
glands under the Jaw often swell.
Swellings uftcn occur on tho legs ul-
cors sometimes form on the skin the
coat Is npt to bo dull nnd tho affected
horse loses flesh.
The dlschnrgc from the noso con-
tains tho germs which shows how
easy It Is for a glandered horse to In-
fect a watering trough or manger. It

States they visited many o tbe best-
known breeding establishments of tbe

they might become Intimately famlUar

our breeders generally.
Shorthorn Sale.
An interesting fact is that at the
Argentine show a sale cf shorthorns
resulted In nn average of JSOO per
head tbe reserve champion bull sell
ing for 550.000 Argentine money or
approximately 23005 United States
gold. As the Argentine breeders nre
steadily In tbe market for high-class
breeding stock the closer relations
which nre being established between
this country nnd Argentina will have
n tendency to gTeatly Increase our
trade. Our position Is strengthened
too by the fact that the display of
breeding stock at the International
show Chicago was of the highest
merit throughout and the largest num-
bers In the history of the show. The
shorthorn breeding clashes alone con-
tained approximately GOO entries. The
numbers represented and their uniform
merit made a most favorable Impres-
sion upon the Argentine Judges Mid
the United States breeders have there-
by gained n material advantage. The
prospects for further extension of
trade nt home are bright. A number
of Western states already have en-
acted laws prohibiting the turning of
any but registered bulls on the open
range.
whether brought by horse-traders Im-
migrants or gypsies sometimes nre af-
fected and so spread the contagion.
There is no cure for glanders nnd
being so contagious It has been found
best to kill glandered horses. Tho
sooner they are killed and destroyed
the less danger of other horses becom-
ing Infected. Tills Is so much of a
community problem that most states
pay the owner of n glandered horse
that Is killed by one of tho agents of
the state a part of Its value.
It Is not always possible to ding-
nose glanders from the symptoms. A
test called tho Mallcln test can bo
used to determine whether n horse has
glanders or not. This test Is very re-
liable. Glanders also nttacks humans nnd Is
usually fatal. Care should be taken
In handling n glandered horse. Tho
infection comes through some of tho
glnndcrs pus getting Into the eye or
gaining entrance through tho skin
where It Is cut or scratched.
In case n horse Is suspected of hav-
ing glanders report to the state live
stock sanitary board or your state vet-
erinarian and a deputy will be sent
out to Investigate the case and If It
Is glanders proper steps will bo taken.

now can you prevent smut In corn!
Would n seed treatment (festroy It?
Unfortunately there Is no practical
method of preventing corn smut. A
seed treatment docs no good because
the smut Itself Is not enrried on tho
grain ns It Is In the case of wheat
or oat smuts. Corn smut lives over
winter in the toll and gnlns entranca
to new plants by means of spores
which pass from the soil to tho tender
parts of the corn plant where Infec-
tions nre started.
Where It Is not too Impractical as In
tho case of small fields of sweet com
the smut bolls may bo cut off before
they break open and then burned.
This of course makes too much Inbor
where tho field Is of any great size.
Itotntlon of crops la to be consid-
ered the most effective way of handling
corn smut. A soil which Is badly con-
taminated with smut can be sown to
oats or wheat or other crops for a
period of two years and then followed
again with corn. Very little If any
corn smut will persist In tho soil tot
a longer tlmo than this

Veiled the Bride's Table.
Quite a novel Idea was carried out
at a recent bridal supper In veiling:

Cookery. The table occupied the cen-
ter of the room and was surrounded
by small tables for the guests four
at each. Directly over tats bridal table
was an Inverted white nJn umbrella
of large size having n drooping fringe
of artificial orange bIosoms. From
the edge of the umbrella there dropped
a white chiffon veil edged with a white
wide satin border which concpnled the-
table falling nearly to the hem of the-
tablecloth. As the bridal party of 12 approached:
and surrounded the table the deft pull
ing of n satin cord caused the veil to
rise clowly nnd form Itself Into a big:
puffy pompon affair above the um-
brella; the effect was very unusual
nnd very pretty. The lifted veil showed
an unusually elaborate table. Tbe
centerpiece was n huge white sntla

standing In the center of an lmracno
wedding ring of yellow roses. Tho
