Will Use Thoroughbred to Develop
Breed of American Utility Horses
BB&T
{Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
The imported thoroughbred stallion
Glaisdale, shown in the illustration,
has recently been obtained by the bu
reau of animal industry from the re
mount service of the War Department,
for use in the work for the develop
ment of a breed of utility horses es
pecially adapted to western range and
farm conditions. He will be used at
the horse-breeding station near Buf
falo, Wyo., where the United States
Department of Agriculture Is co
operating with the state of Wyoming
In this breeding work.
Handsome Specimen.
Glaisdale is a brown stallion, three
years old, a handsome specimen of his
breed, and he carries the blood of
many of England’s equine aristocrats
in his veins. His sire, Itosendale, won
two of England’s high-class races as
a three-year-old and was third in the
Derby the same year. His grandsire,
St. Frusquin, has sired some of the
greatest horses ever produced in Eng

Loss of $12,520 Caused by
Single Plant.
(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
“Not only can one barberry bush
cause a loss of SIO,OOO in a single year,
but it produces seeds from which more
bushes grow,” says Dr. E. C. Stakman
of the United States Department of
Agriculture. “Still there are those in
the United States who think barberry
eradication either impossible or use
less.”
A single bush can cause extensive
loss, and there Is at least one instance
on record where a loss of $12,520 was
caused by one bush. A special study
to determine the extent of infection
and loss from a single bush was made
by one of the state leaders of bur
berry eradication. The outbreak of
stem rust which started from a Known
bush traveled in one direction, at least,
for about five miles. The total wheat
area affected on 18 different farms
was 963 acres. # An average yield of
only 8.1 bushels per acre was obtained,
while it was estimated that had there
Seen no loss from rust infection the
average yield would have been 21.4
bushels. The average yield for that
year was only 37 per cent of what it
would have been withont the black

were either winners or placed in the
famous Derby appear nine times in
Glaisdale’s pedigree.
Glaisdale was personally selected In
England by Maj. Henry Leonard, a
retired officer who has a national rep
utation as an expert judge of horses.
Major Leonard was delegated to select
several stallions In England for use
in the breeding work of the remount
service of the United States army.
Add Valuable Qualities.
It is thought by those conducting
the horse-breeding work that the use
of this thoroughbred stallion will add
valuable qualities in the type of horse
being produced at the Wyoming sta
tion. Officials of the bureau of animal
industry are gratified to obtain such
a royally bred young stallion for use
in Its horse-breeding investigations.

the combined money loss from this

$12,520 or an average loss to each
farmer of $696 worth of wheat.
The barberry has destroyed too
much grain in the past, says the United
States Department of Agriculture. It
will multiply and destroy more in the
future unless it is destroyed first. A
barberry bush with a SIO,OOO potential
damage possibility can be destroyed
with ten pounds of salt, or an hour’s
work with a grub hoe.

THE TURTLE FRIEND
The turtle’s name was General and
he was a very fine turtle.
To be sure, he
Swas not much ad
mired for his
beauty but his
master thought he
was handsome and
that was all that
really mattered.
Now one day
his master was
hurt and an am
bulance came
rushing along to
take the master
to the hospital
where he was to
made well once
Wrapped in a Big more ’ tf
Newspaper.” The turtle’s mas
ter did not want
to get into the ambulance.
“But you’ll be well so quickly and
then you’ll be back home again,” said
the doctor.
But the master cried and the doctor
began to tell him what a nice place
the hospital was and how soon he
would be well.
Still the turtle’s master cried, and
between Ills sobs he seemed to be
speaking, but no one could understand
him.
“We must hurry,” said the doctor,
and the master cried still harder.
“I want my turtle, I want my tur
tle,” were the words of the boy.
“I want General,” he sobbed. “Oh,
I want General. General will under
stand.”
“General?” asked the doctor. “Your
turtle?”
“Oh,” said the boy's mother, “he
means he wants his turtle. The tur
tle’s name is General. And the turtle
Is his devoted pet.”
“Well, we’ll take the turtle along,
too,” said the doctor.
“Oh,” he said quite clearly, “then I
don’t mind going at all.”
Well, his mother went for General
and General was wrapped In a big
newspaper and was put into the am
bulance, too, and they all went off
for the hospital, the boy and the tur
tle and the doctor.
It was the first time a turtle had
ever been in the hospital and every
one was much excited about the new
patient.
The doctor explained that there was
nothing the matter with the turtle but
that he had come along to comfort his
master.
"He’ll make me get well quickly,”
said the boy. And so the hospital peo
ple called General the Trained Nurse
Turtle.
General had a little bathtub kind
of a home brought for him and Gen
eral did not seem to mind the hospital
at all.
In fact he seemed quite happy. At
times he would be allowed upon his
master’s bed and his master would pet
his funny, hard back and would say:
“General, my General. You wouldn’t
desert me, would you?”
“You’re the right kind of a General.
You’ll never desert”
Now the boy had owned the turtle
for eight years—ever since the boy
had been a baby boy, hardly able to
walk.
And all the other boys and girls and
men and women in the hospital heard
about General e*™— -g-r->

• left the hospital be took General
around with him and called on all the
other patients and General did them
a lot of good, too!
Yes, he certainly did cheer them up,
and yet General was so modest about
It all.
At last the boy and General went
home and it was nice to be back where
there was lots of space, but it was
nicer still to think that they were
back home sooner because the dear
turtle friend had helped so much in
hurrying to make the boy well I
FORMER JUSTICE

Lost Sixty Pounds and Could
Hardly Sleep a Wink.
Praises Tanlac.
Ben A. Hartley of 226 Miller St.,
Fort Valley, Gn., former Justice of the
Peace, In discussing his experience
with Tanlac, says:
“For about a year and n half I suf
fered from one of the worst cases of
stomach trouble u person ever had,
and although I was continually trying
different remedies nothing seemed to
reach the root of my troubles until I
started on the Tanlac treatment.
“Anyone can imagine the condition
I was in when I say that my troubles
pulled me down from over two hun
dred pounds to only one hundred and
forty-five. My stomach pained me
nearly all the time, and I would have
cramping spells that simply drew me
double. I was in continual misery, and
at night I could scarcely get a wink
of sleep.
“But Tanlac has put me on the
road to recovery and since taking
three bottles of the treatment I feel
more like myself than I have in a
long time. The stomach misery has
disappeared almost completely. I am
hungry as a wolf nearly all the time,
and can just feel myself picking up
in weight and strength. I rest much
better at night, too, and at the rate
I ain now Improving a few more bottles
of Tanlac will make me a perfectly
well man —it suits my case exactly.”
