Walking for Nerves.'
The nerves puffer from want of
pure oxygen. They run like a net
work all through the skin and when
they are overwrought the skin Is apt
to be dry and colorless. Walking is
an excellent tonic for the nerves. It
gives them strength to control them
selves. If one has means or leisure, there
are plenty of other more enjoyable ex
ercises. But few forms are so bene
ficial as the regular daily jaunt of
four or five miles for obtaining a good
complexion.

into eclipse and the
huge purses of days
gone by are, to a
great extent, a thing
of the past, the breed
ing of thoroughbreds
continues and thrives.
The market nowadays
is not found so much among the own
ers of racing stables as among that
large and increasing percentage of
the public that has means and inclina
tion ot keep fine riding horses. Not
even the vogue of the automobilo
seems to have dampened the enthusi
asm of these cross-country riders and
hunters and polo players who demand
and are willing to paj for special
qualifications in horse-flesh.
The reader will, of course, under
stand that the term thoroughbred, as
here used, refers to running horses.
There are persons who are under the
Impression that the
high-class Amer
ican trotter has as
much right as the
running horse to
designation as a
thoroughbred, but
in strictly correct
usage horsemen
refer to the fine
trotters as "stan
dard bred" and re

mentioned term

JZ Tirrz XJirTPZJ or
the "timber-toppers," as the jumping horses requi
site for cross-country riding are designated.
The modern American thoroughbred, as we see
him at our present day race meetings and horse
shows, isdhe product of four centuries of breed
ing, training and experimenting.. The ancestors
of the present numerous equine family were
brought to Virginia by the early English settlers
and Virginia and adjacent parts of the South
nave always ueeu itiuuua as mc uicruiug givuuu
of thoroughbreds. However, much of the breed
ing of thoroughbreds which is and has been done
i:i this favored region has been carried on for
love of the task rather than for financial returns.
, There is a wide difference between American
thoroughbreds and those, bred in other notable
horse-raising sections (for instance, Ireland), but
it would he difficult to find an American horse
man who will not argue up and down that the
Yankee steeds are as fine examples of all-around
training as may be found anywhere on the globe.
The American thoroughbred is admittedly shorter
than his English prototype, but It is claimed that
this lack of stature is more than counterbalanced
by soundness and superior constitution.
iTorsemen in the United States and in the
United Kingdom hold to different ideals in breed
ing that are bound to be reflected by certjjtf dis
similarities in the animals produced. In America
the tendency has been to develop thoroughbreds
that will run comparatively short distances at
maximum speed, whereas in England greater at
tention is bestowed upon the problem of breeding
horses that will run long distances and will carry
weight. It is to be expected that with the pass
ing of racing as the supreme field of usefulness
for the American thoroughbred there will be a
tendency on the part of Yankee breeders to more
nearly approach the English standard, which is
supposed to produce horses ideal for private use.
The breeding of thoroughbreds in America bas
been carried on most extensively in the States
of Virginia, Kentucky, California, Montana, Penn
sylvania, Tennessee, New York and New Jersey.
The principal requisites are an equable climate,
good soil with a foundation of limestone, plentiful
water and an abundance of sweet grass. There
are yet In existence many breeding farms of mod
est pretensions, but the tendency of recent years
appears to be to create vast estates where wealthy
men specialize in the breeding of thoroughbreds
by aid of every facility that money and thought
can provide. In Kentucky a few years ago eight
old-fashioned stock farms were merged by a
millionaire into one vast breeding estate of fully
two thousand acres.
Experienced breeders figure that it costs not
les3 than $125 td raise a thoroughbred yearling
at an up-to-date stock farm and this sum merely
covers cost of feed
fAPIT and labor and takes
no account of the lnvestnfSjV''fepre
sented by the stock farm usually a
heavy one. There are breeders who
declare that unless they can sell each
of their yearlings for a price close to
$500 they do Btot make a reasonable
profit, but in the South, where labor
is cheap and where the Initial cost of
much of the land was fairly low, it
is possible for breeders to make
money from sales at lower figures
than that mentioned.
The organization and management
of an up-to-date breeding farm is in
teresting from the manner in which it
insures attention to detail. The own
er of the farm is usually his own man
ager, but In some instances there is
also a resident manager to handle
matters when the owner is absent
as he must be much of the time if
. he atetnds the fairs, horse shows and
horse sales. Under the manager are a number
of skilled trainers, each of whom is responsible
for the education of a certain number of horses,
and has the assistance of several helpers In his
work. In addition to this staff there is a boss or
foreman for each, barn and under each barn
boss is enrolled a number of grooms, exercise
boys, etc. At some of the costly farms in Vir
ginia and Kentucky we find every modern facil
ity from a private electric light and power plant
to feed cutters that not only take the grain from
the private elevator and crush it, but mix the,
feed In any desired proportions.
The education of a thoroughbred at a modern
stock farm begins, very early in life
and is very thorough. However, care
ful handling is requisite for a major
ity of the foals are decidedly shy.
When the age of seven or eight months
is- attained the average young thor
oughbred is sufficiently broken to un
dergo a preliminary trial. As a year
ling he is subjected to further tests,
but it is not until
the animal is well
into the second
year that the
breeder determines
whether the youg
ster gives promise
of a turf career or
is better adapted
to service as a
roadster or a
mount for the
huntsman. Sales
of yearlings are
usually held in
midsummer and
there is seldom any
dearth of bidders
for the equines
from breeding
farms which have been awarded blue ribbons in
the past; . ' , ,. .- -
At all times it is essential for the breeder or
owner to keep a sharp wjttch regarding the health
of his blooded equines. 'Particualrly close watch
must needs be kept as to tne condition of the
mouth, legs and feet of each animal. It is ob
vious that a horse cannot eat properly and be
adequately nourished if he' has a sore mouth,
just as he cannot run satisfactorily if his feet
are in bad condition or the shins are "bucked"
the bugbear of two-year-olds. Training a thor
oughbred for racing involves, of course, special
instruction quite aside from anything included In
the animal's education at the breeding farm, but
for that matter every step in the life of a young
thoroughbred taxes the temper of the nervous,
high-strung animal. And the men in charge of
one of these equines must show judgment and
patience In Introducing a four-footed charge to
each new experience even though it be some
thing so simple as initiation into the mysteries
of a box-stall or the donning of a blanket for the
first time.
Since the decadence of racing In the United
States a number of American millionaires who
breed thoroughbreds primarily in order to sup
ply their own racing stables have transferred the
scene of their activities to the Old World. There
are several in England; quite a few in France and
a number In Ireland, where Richard Cr&ker, for
mer Tammany leader, is among those "who have
established important breeding farms. With most
of these wealthy men, however, breeding is a
fad. The men who breed thoroughbreds for a
livelihood continue to do business at the old stand
iu America and most of them obtain satisfactory
profits for their efforts.
THE RUINATION OF SAM BUD
STORY OF A MAN WHO MIGHT HAVE LIVED HAPPILY IF HE HADN'T HAD
SO MANY RELATIVES.
I kin remember when th' only feller that had
a suit case wuz some dude with two sets o' scen
ery that attended all th" out-o'-town dances. Now,
ever one you meet, Hunyaks an' all, has a suit
case an' is goln' some place er jist glttln' back.
Ever' time I read about somebuddy returnin'
home after "a delightful two weeks' visit," er see
a ole battered up pasteboard suit case, I think o'
Sam Bud's fate.
Sam Bud got married long before he begun t
shave, an' he never seemed able t find anything
f do at home that jist suited him. He -was alius
talkin about "acceptin' a position," an' when he'd
go 'way t accept it he'd alius come back an' say,
"Aw, they didn't -want f pay nothin'. He didn't
want a job with -wages er he didn't even want
a situation. He wanted a light position with a
good salary. Nobuddy knew what he wanted t"
do fer he couldn't do nothin'.
His relatives got kind o' tired o him after he
fooled around eight er nine years, an' I guess he
noticed it, fer one day he took his golden oak
dresser an' four chairs, a plaid husk mattress an'
a blue enamel ' bedstead up by th' livery stable
an' sold 'em at auction an' him an' his wife lit out
Nothin' wuz heard o' em fer nearly ten years.
When one day Pinky Kerr found a ole city paper
in a empty egg case. Th' fust thing be read wuz
this: "While Samuel Bud, a wealthy an' prominent
manufacturer, wuz crossin' Washington street
Tuesday evenin' ha wuz struck by a tourin' car
an taken f hia home at 10757 North, Meridian
street. He wuz cot seriously injured.
Sam Bud, wealthy manufacturer! Jist think
o' it! An' livin' on th North side, too. That wuz
enough fer his kin folks.
So one evenin Sam Bud went home he found
his verandy covered with relatives an th' hall
full o' suit cases. Weeks went on an' they kept
comin' an goin'. Ever' few days a new family
group appeared. Sometimes it wuz Uncle Jim
an' his family. He'd bring a 40-cent dressed hen
an' they'd all stay two weeks; then Aunt Lide
an' th' girls would come with a pound - er two
o' pale butter an' say, "Ndw, Ellle, don't you go
t' no trouble op our account. Th' Lord knows we
hain't used to milch;' then Cousin Bill would
jist happen t be in th' city an' he'd say, "Now,
Sam, remember, no didoes. I kin eat anything
you kin;" then Sam's father would drop along
with one side of his suit case full o Early Rose
pertaters an' th' other side full o' socks enough
t' run him a month. He alius mixed business with
pleasure an' when he wasn't out t' th' stock yards
he'd set on th4 verandy in his stockin' feet an'
watch th' autos go by.
Th' relatives kept comin' till Sam had t sell
his Interest in th' factory an' go t' bookkeepln'.
Then his big home went next an he rented a
flat an' had t' put in foldin furniture an' cots.
Ever'buddy from th. ole town looked Sam up
an' brought him hickory nuts an' sorghum an
pawpaws an' remained over.
One Saturday he returned home after puttin'
a delegation o' home folks on th' Intefurban an'
fell int' a easy chair an' picked up th daily paper.
Pnrty soon his wife, who wuz peelin' some turnips
in th kitchen, heard a muffled report. Rushin'
int' th' room she found Sam layln' on th floor.
In his hand wuz a clippin from th' paper sayin':

week." Abe Martin, in Indianapolis. News.
