In the middle 1000’: a yearling trotter owned by a celebrated stock farm. contracted distemper. His condition became so hopeless that a veterinarian gave him up- and went away. George Ket- chhm, the trainer. kept the colt through the night. in the morn- ing the youngster was so much worse that he handed a gun to his stablehand, told him to take the colt “down back somewhere" and destroy him. About an hour later the boy returned. handed the gun with one empty cartridge in it to Kctcharn and said. ‘The little fellow is gone."

a

Three weeks later the boy re-' ported for work leading the colt who was in a very weak and emaciated ccn'dition. "Cute little fellow," said the boy to Ketcham. "Just couldn't shoot him. Hid him away. dociored him. and now he's all right. Distemper is cured." Ketcharn took an inter- est in the youngster then. had him fed and looked after very care- fully and he soon developed into a rugged horse. ln,Ii000 he be- came the leading money earning trotter with $13,250 to his credit. in 1001 he was again on top with $22,804 and the same year -1001 —-at the age of seven. he trotted a mile in a new world‘: record of 2.02 1-4.

Cresceus 2.22 1-4. was a much admired trotter here some as or 40 years ago. He was owned by the late Frank Deals and driven in most of his races by Fred Cameron. _

la the early days of racing on popular and it was not until 1879 that he really sprang into prominence. That was the year that the fam- ous Ed Gees-s bad Mattie Hunter. whose terrific speed bursts were electrifying. People who saw her move liked it and demanded more sights of the whirlwind. That caused track promoters to ar- range more and still more races for pacers. some of the most famous bsttiers of that era were Mattie Hunter. Sleepy Tom. Rowdy Boy and Luck, but it was not until 189! that the National Trotting Association decreed that the re- cords oi pacers might be of- ficially printed in the American Trotting Registry, which was the harness horse bible.

The Sleepy Tom referred to above was a blind pacer with great speed. Steve Phillips, the noted trainer. wanted him. He offered a good horse with perfect sight in. exchange but the owner refused. Then he added $7.50 in cash. an old watch and a bottle of 100 proof whiskey. The whiskey clinched the deal and Sleepy Tom and Steve‘ Phillips were on the move. He was a sensation and his mile in 2.12 1-4 to high-wheel- ed sulky is still remembered . . . Little Brown Jug was the first. Tennessee bred pacer to gain championship lsurels. At Hart- ford. Conn. in 1881 he defeated Lucy. Mattie Hunter and others and set up a new three heat re-

The famous pacing stake which -was raced last year at Delaware, Ohio. The Little Brown Jug. is nmed after him.

_%__________ feet on trail made me curious and I examined them. Mr. Fox had dined on at least a pair of mice.

The holes w3re‘only a yard apart and I was prompted to kick the snow away to see what kind of cover the mice were making their home. I got a surprise. someone had cut the bands on several sheaves of grain and scattered them over a small area. Pheasants fre- quent, or did frequent. this swaley sector and I came to the conclusion someone had used the grain to lure the birds out of the surrounding protecting cover. '

A half mile from the ins: Camp. that is used as a shelter when cutting wood in winter, I .brancheri off to the right and followed a dim trail to where Fraser's Dam used to lie in all its outdoorr glory. The water had escaped through a. gap- ing hole ln_the embankment and with the water went the trout, muskrats and ducks. I followed the creek bed that wound amid the growth of flags and swamp fronds past the Juniper Point and on to the 'bottle-neck‘.

The afternoon wore on. Inga shanty .dripped water from the saves and '1 emerged in a clearing north of Stern's property and stopped to chat with two Irish bachelors. They were fixing the shaft of a Jaunting sleigh in the barn floor. The sun shone brightly and a flock oi sheep nibbled clover hay in the yard.

I1. BETTER. PEOPLE AND BETTER COW!

By Howard W. Selby

"And better people make better far . because somehow God and a Wsperous farm just seem to go tog ther." Howard Selby relates. Mr. Selby, a life-long leader in the farm co-operative movement, is president of the Walker-Gordon Laboratories of New England. Inc. and since 1934 general manager of the United Farmers Co-operative Oreamery Asoclstion. Inc, in Boston. Mass. 1

A man may engage in business

make money--never mind how. I0 long as he does not tangle with the law. Another is to make money de- cently and scrupulously within popular respect. A third is to produce something better in the world-- and at the same time make money.

I hold to the latter purpose; that the object of business is not only to make a fair and honest living but to help make people better and happier. Many a man who once thought that business and religion did not mix has discovered other- wise. Many a man has found that the practice of religion pays. Eut one can not take it up with the sole motive of becoming more successful. He can not adopt reli- gion as he would a new account- ing system.

I wish all business men would realize that it is not only good re- ligion but also the best kind of business to serve humanity and make God their partner. I believe that God may require one man to en in business for the some object that He calls another to serve in the pulpit.

Better Men

I happen to be in the milk pro- ducing business. Our co-operative dairy association seeks to raise mill: production among its mem- beta to the highest possible stan- dard and volume-<-which means raising the standard of our produc- ing herds. We want better cows. but I doubt that we'll have better cows without better men.

If this sounds like an eccentric statement, let me risk another: In place after place I have seen the standard and quality of milk ad- vance after the stanards and qual-

Religion makes‘ better men: and better men in a dairying commun- ity are interested in developing better cows.

It is all of a patem. with God as a center. An earnest Christian is never content with the average

or mediocrity: he strives always to excel. In a Vermont. meadow. one of

our co-operatives farmers pointed out to me a weather-beaten dila-

pidated farmhouse several fields away. "A generation nago," he said,

"that was a prosperous farm. Pine. upstanding people lived there. The place had no mortgage upon it. and its family had money in the, bank. Anyone in the neighborhood in need of a thousand dollars could borrow from those people at any time. Now it is a marginal farm under the burden of a heavy mort-

ancl constantly in debt." The Picture

"Yes." I broke in. "I think I can complete the picture, although I don't know the people. The fam- ily which lived there a. generation ago got up early on Sunday morn- ing to do the chores. Then the team was harnessed to the buck-bo d and driven to the crossroads church.

“But the family now living there is bound down by the burden of the place. Those people never seem to get. to go to church. much of their trouble is worry. They left God out of their lives. and the mental bur- den crushed the spirit,out of them. The older family had God for a partner--and the driving power which led it to success."

"That's rlghtl" said my farmer friend. "You've described the aft- uatlon exactly. somehow. God afl a prosperous farm seem to go to- gether."

We hope soon to install a per- sonnel man whose job will be what. the preachers might call evangelistic. He will work with the practical side of our manpower situation. but his chief purpose will be something higher. He will have social ideals. and will seek to bring labor and management to an understanding of each other. He will try to show the laborer that he must give a full. honest day's work for his pay, and he will show man- agement that they must be fair in all their dealings with labor.

But perham his greatest func- tion will be to put romance into this business and emphasise the dignity and importance of each worker's individual task.

Needs A Vision

For example. here is ‘a man whose Job is to bottle milk day after day. Perhaps his job has be- come quite humdrum--lust bottlin milk and covering it with a can.

lie needs a vision of where that bottle goes. that it. will help to nourish the life of a beauti ul baby. that it will be a factor in creating the wonderful. clean. healthy youth of America. that it will help to grow a great citlsenship and to develop the greatest coun-

try in the world Thus a bottle ‘of
