T have found there are many “heavy leather” candidates which are quite handy for park or road hacks. and which will give one a “good ride” if used regularly, and, even more, that a good coach horse. properly conditioned and carefully ndled, will become a “general pur- pose” animal as well and add greatly to the convenience of the average “country place” if he can be trained to pull the lawn mower, work the lawn sweeper {n summer. haul ashes and wood in winter, roll the drivy wayvs, and even take his turn with a light, singie plough in the truck gar- den. as occasion requires. A K Great care must be exercised in starting active pleasure horses at this kind of work: but, once they find the noise and rattle from these imple- ments are harmless, they are perfect- ly quiet and tractable, do their work cheerfully and seem to enjoy such an occasional change of routine. It might be suggested that there i would be some detriment to the spirit and manners of a ride or drive horse in guch drudgery. On the contrary, there are several positive advantages. An animal once accustomed to the rattle of a lawn moker or the harsh rumble of a roller ix much safer on the road and is undisturbed by u usual or accidental noises in the rear. In the second place, there is nothing in the world better to cool out the legs and feet of the modern harness animal. perhaps standing all day cement floors or pounding over a phalt, brick and other hard pave- ments, than to walk for several hours on the soft turf of & smooth lawn or pressing into the damp seil between i vegetable rows in the garden Still another advantage of such a combination horge I8 that he is con- tinually and healthfully exercised, enjoys a pleasant variation,of actiyv- ity according to the season, and, with his regular turns to the station, the nearby school and other errands within “horse distance.” he is always ready end fit for a drive at the pleas- ure of the owner. He need not be speclally exercised for each accasion, but can take his place between the shafts for an errand, go to the pole for an afternoon in the park or make up a “four” for an all-day jaunt into the country at a moment's notice.

YEARLY VALUE OF KANSAS CORN CROP, $67,679,016 In Past Twenty Years, $400,000,- 000 Worth of Hogs Raised. From the Topeka Capital. The average vearly value of Kan- sas corn for the last twenty vears has been $67,679,016. This average value would buy 1.128 acres of land worth $200 per acre, for every wirk- ing day in the year. : Kansas’ record yield of corn was an average of 48.4 bushels per acre. This is a higher averago than ever was re- corded in forty-one of the forty-eight states. So. ansas is not alone a “wheat state,” it Is Instead a state of diversified products. During the last twenty vears the farmers of Kansas have produced ap- proximately $400,000000 worth of hogs, or $20,000,000 worth each vear. Kansas has more hogs than thirty of the other states. The hog will insure prosperity on Kansas farms. A Sliding Secale. From the Boston Globe.

Ll ashcre that's going e ashore!” The crowd leaves the deck, lines are cast off, gangplanks drawn in and the ocean greyhound moves from her pier. As she swings into midstream she can be clearly seen by the crowd ashore. But she presents a strange appearance. Her upper deck is per- fectly flat; there are no smokestacks, | no masts except a small one at the forward end. From two great holes astern roll clouds of smoke. Suddenly from the alr above swoops an airplane. It lands on the flat upper deck; there is some conferring be- tween its pilot and an official of the ship; presently, while the vessel is still slipping through the water, the plane shoots into space and heads for shore. Some passenger forgot some: thing and had it delivered by air after the ship was well under way. For, says the Sclentific American, this is the liner of the future—a mastless, stackless speedster which can be at all times in airplane com- munication with the shore. Its vast expanse of flat deck can serve many | other purposes besides that of landing fleld; it can be a promenade in emooth weather, a delightful exercise field, & loafing place to enjoy the sun and breeze. This upper or “flight deok.” as it is called by the designers of the plane- carrying ocean greyhound, finishes off practically square at a position 100 teet aft from the bow. There is foremast to carry the navigation lights; also several derricke for the h ting of cargo, rcraft, stores, etc. Machines rise so rapidly from the deck and 80 800n become maneuvrable that the presence of this forward mast would .not be objectionable to airmen, The deck below is mo: or less open to permit some flow of air along the under slde of the Alght, D.

Similar communications could, of course, be arranged on the other side. To quote the Sclentific American: “Vessels running on euch a service from Great Britain to New York could send off airplanes which would reach Montreal before the steamer could get to New York. A correspond- ing gain would be made. by Canadian steamers using the port of Halifax; on approaching Halifax the airplane could depart before the steamer reached the port, and vice versa “Vessels sailing between Great Brit- ain and Australia would run to Port Sald without a stop, and on their route could serve Lisbon, Gibraltar, Alglers, Malta and Naples by airplane. They would then run from Suez to Colombo and deal with mails for Port Sudan, Khartum, Aden, Somaliland 4and possibly Bombay, while on the jrun from Colombo to Sydney various other aerial services could be main- | tainea. | “Vessels running from Vancouver.
