And wants it all the time.”

A YOUNG man in Hot Springs, N. C., 
had been worrying for a long time over 
the difficult problem of how and when 
to propose to the girl of his choice. 
“Suppose we sit in the hammock,” he 
said one night. “It will not hold two,” 
she answered. “ Well, then,” said the 
young man, grasping an idea, “ let us 
become one.” —Credit Lost.

Years ago a French Canadian drayman was 
doing business In Vergennes, Vermont.

SECOND EDITION. 
UEVISEI) AND ENLAKGED. 
Origin. History, Improvement, Description, Character¬ 
istics, Merits, Objections, Adaptability, etc., of each Breed, 
with Data regarding its Registry Association. Scale of 
Points. When Used, etc. 
The Hints on Selection, Care and Mangenient are supple¬ 
mented by letters from well-known and successful breeders 
of the United States and Canada, each giving his actual 
methods of handling, breeding and feeding. 
THE SECOND EDITION has been carefully prepared 
by the author, the text thoroughly revi.sed, brought down to 
date, numerous additions made, and many valuable sug¬ 
gestions from competent stockmen and instructors in animal 
husbandry have been elaborated. The chapter on “ Selec¬ 
tion of the Horse for Speed,” is now especially complete, 
the author having embodied therein a carefully prepared 
“ Study in Animal Physics,” regarding which the Galveston 
(Tex.) Daily News says: 
“ This is a careful scientific consideration of the mechan¬ 
ical construction of the modern trotting horse. It is illus¬ 
trated with striking drawings of the fore and hind legs of a 
horse, which are supplemented by carefully compiled ratios 
of lengths of the various parts. This is a valuable paper 
for horse owners.” 
All the new breeds established, or brought before the 
public since the first edition was published, have been given 
proper place, and important data regarding these and many 
old breeds incorporated. 
Engravings, with explanatory text, have been especially 
prepared to serve In place of a glossary of technical terms 
in describing parts of each of the four different main divi¬ 
sions of domestic animals. In fact, it Is believed that noth¬ 
ing has been left undone which would tend to increase the 
usefulness of the new edition, or render it of greater value 
to the student of animal husbandry, whether in the class¬ 
room or on the farm. _
