Centaur is a thoroughbred Blue
Grass horse and is managed by Mr.
S. B. Smith, also a product of Ken

two tricks, any of which, it is claimed
have never before been accomplished
by any so-called “educated horse".
The horse is a beautiful bay and
when seen out at the Barkoot winter
quarters, sjmke very pleasantly to the
reporter, went to bed at tno evin-
inand of his master, made ugly facen
and, as a climax, dashed into burn

would otherwise have perished In the
flames. %Vhen complimented for
this, he looked at us In a very grave
manner, as much as to say, “I havj
only done my duty".

A farmer’s wife in tho Hahira dis

recipo for putting up meat: "My
plan for saving meat is to kill it and
salt It good. Pack it up every morn

third day again. Spread it every
night for two weeks, then spread it
down on planks and cover It with
salt and let It stay for two weeks.
Use plenty of salt. We killed hogs
on the 28th of December and hung
up the meat on February 1st, and it
Is as good as ever. W© have never
