A.‘ ' '*0-- I had the p asure of a short conversation wth Mr. stating to him that I had always been of the opinion that Kentucky offered many nfore advantages for the breeding of trotters and pacers, or thoroughbreds for that matter, than any other state in the Union. He said that.that was not the case. Itwas true that many Kentucky farms were very suc- cessful but that was due to“ good soil and good management. od grass can be, own almost. any- where," said _r. Sheppard ‘if one uses the righ metho s. We test our pasture land and -if it is found to be acid we cover it with ground limestone." Asked as to the method of testing he said it was quite simple, merely to take a solution of the soil and a piece of bluc litmus paper. If the litmus paper turned red there was acidity in the soil. Another very important in- gredient for soil is phosphorus and a 400 pound N70 acid phosphoric fertilizer is used per acre. He said the ground limestone need only be applied once in five years. 10- Given godii pasturage with nut- ritious grass, good drinking water and good feed and care colts will mature very ra dly. “One has only to look at '..ie representatives of Hanover" Shoe Farms that you have down, ln your country," said Mr. Sheppard, to realize that our pasturage, our soil and our meth- ods must be good." I told him I thought he had certainly devel- o ed a breed of horses that were amost incomparable and that est- ablished so many years after Wal- nut; Hall Farm he had carved for himself a tremendous niche in the breeders’ Hall Fame. “You must remember," said Mr. Shep- ard, "that we had some good luck n that we were fortunate enough to purchase the brood mare band and stallions of the late ‘A.

I was strolling along the south side of a wooded slo on the lookout for pheasants wl a view 1.0 ascertaining how they had wlziiered. I dicing any pheasants on this occasion, but along a stretch of a half mile, I kicked u five Ruffed grouse, all singles. e birds were surprised as they sunned tlienzsclves at the vvootis edge. Both pheasants ‘and Hungarian partridge have come through well. Some foil victims to Snowy owl; and Goshawks and others, partic- ularly hurls, were killed by strlk. mg telephone wires, but old King Wmtcr trv-‘Med the upland game birds very court/eously this past season. Any Hans picked up alter striking telephone wires were 1n prime COllCiiClLiUll. I did, however, find a couple at widely separated points. that were in an emaciated condition when death overtook tircm. Crows had pretty well clean- ed the bones of one of them, but Even Ht that it was evident the frame was short on meat. t I O These two particular birds may have died from disease but ‘it is more probable the cause uf death was senile decay. The life n o! both the pheasant and H is es- timated by competent authorities to seldom exceed 4 years. thus oon- siderable numbers are borund to die from natural causes. At time of writing. the outlook for a bumper crop of l-luns, barring bad breed- ing conditions is exceedingly bright for the coming seaspn.
