On a parting note, I ran across this the other day and think that it is rather appropriate. by Janey Sawyer 616i S. Dixie Highway Franklin, Ohio The horse show season is going full blast! Xenia and the Georgetown All-Walking Horse Show are past history, and that was certainly a full weekend. Mr. GOBEL of Alexandria, Kentucky, did the judg- lng at Xenia in his usual straightforward manner, and this was refreshing to see. After a week of rainy weather, it was fun to show on the beautiful fair- bounds. The Escue Stables outdid themselves with a band slam. Georgetown, Ohio, was really well attended and p A t ? t ons were pretty equally divided. iWOSE Or- J^HEIMER really showed to perfection when Go p y S- Rambler walked away with the big stake an cCt Brown was timed just right to take the mare witf ,,handily.

"A Thing to Remember: How to Tell the Horse’s Age to Twenty Years” To tell the age of any horse, Inspect the lower jaw, of course; The sixth front tooth the tale will tell And every doubt and fear dispell; Two middle nippers you’ll behold Before the colt is two weeks old; Before eight weeks two more will come; At eight months the corner cuts the gums. Two outside grooves will disappear From middle two in just one year; In two years come the second pair; In three, the corners, too, are bare. At two the middle nippers drop; At three, the second pair can t stop. When four years old the third pair goes, At five, a full new set he shows. The deep black spots will Pass from view At six years from the middle two. ^SS^^cdears. Fr° AtmrintethePbla* spots will’withdraw; The second pair at ten are white, Th Eleven finds the corners light.
