Behling, near Albion, Mich., were destroyed by dogs recently. The sheep were in a small fenced held and the dogs, after stampeding them, run them around and around the field until one after another dropped dead from ex haustion. The appraisers awarded a to ut or tO 18 for the flock. Mr. Behling had just received the sheep from Okla homa the day before they were killed. A YvTiistler. Tne happiest man in the world is the poor fellow who earns just enough mon ey to pay his debts. Such a man is pos sessed of the happiness which causes him to whistle and sing as he goes about his work, and when he meets you on the street a pleasant smile, speaking louder than words, convinces you of bis sincer ity. The rich man, with a mortgage on every other house in town and with a bank account, may be happy, but his happiness is not of the heart; neither does it manifest itself as does the true happiness that radiates from the coun tenance of an honest working man. We handle all kinds of chicken feeds, grits and poultry supplies. D. B. Mc Kinney. 16-tf Uncle 5am As a Horse Trader. Unsle Sam, who does nothing by halves has recently gone into the horse business on an extensive scale. At Front Royal, in the blaegrass part of Virginia, he has started what ia probably the largest horse farm ia the woild a farm of 5,500 acres, located only a few hours ride from the nation's capital. He in tends this to be obly one of a series of such farms, and to turn out thorough breds by the tens of thousands. This farm is already supplying practically the entire United States with cavalry mounts, and Capt. X H., Conrad expecu to make the government farms the sup ply depots for the army mounts of most of the civilised nations of the world. To stock this farm August Belmont made Uncle Sam a gift ofhis six best staliWs, known the racing world over. The six of them, when two years old. cost Belmont f 100,000. When Johnson Camden, millionaire horseman of Ken tucky, heard of this gift he added to it two of his famous stallions, Boola-Boola and Wheelwright, worth about 125,500. With these eight the farm was started. The government has now more than fifty. Uncle Sam's scheme for securing mounts out of these stallions is unique. He takes all the farmers of his country into partnership. Hit fine stallions are being taken all over the country, wher ever there are farmers witn mares, it used to be that Belmont's and Camden's stallions could be had only by the very rich, Henry of Navarre, for instance, got $1,200 for a service. Today the breeding is free, provided only that the mare be of good breeding herself and free from blemish, the Interest being 'to put the commonplace horse out of existence and replace him with a raoe of noble stock. All that is required is that the farmer shall agree to sell the colt to Uncle Sam when it is two years old for $300. If, however, a man prefers to keep his colt, be must pay a service fee of not more than 123. If the colt has single blem. Uh, he may keep it and pay, no fee at all. Twice a year from now on, or every spring and fall, these stalliins will be shipped about the country. A letter to the War Department will bring one within easy reach of any farmer who will live up to the light conditions. A Gentleman. A man that's clean inside and out; wno neitner looks up to tne ricn nor down to the poor; who can lose without squealing and who can win without bragging; who is considerate of women, children and old people; who is too brave to lie, too generous to cheat, and who takes his share of the world and lets other people have theirs New York Sun.
