The ShetlaDd pony i-. ulnaye an object of Intrreet. whether aero drawins ■ ahlnlnc cur: in the city park or bentllns beneath the crurl wrl*ht of bla heavy burden on the roountolntnlls of his native country. If he were leaa hardy he could not endure the revere labor he U made to perform in Ida native land, for there he I* purely and aimply a burden bearer. Grain. Iron, furniture, coal, ore acd merchandise of all kind* nr. tranaported to all parts of the islands on the backs of the toutdi little animals. Tltree hundred pounds Is the usual load for pony, and Ions Knrn of these laden lltye beasts wind in and out among the hills of their native land. The genuine Shetland pony, produced from the pure breeds of the Shetland and Orkney islands, has become so popular and useful that the business of raising ponies has grown Important. The business is not so ■mole us It might appear at first glance. In the first place, the progenitors—sires “od «l«m«—arc usually selected in the Shetland Islands. Occa■onally drtdrnblr breeds may be found In the Interior of some of the other northern islands I .ordering Scotland, but the majority are found in the Shet-

On farms where these pontes are raised for the market kindness la practiced under all circmnstances in their training. This is very Important because mort of these animals In this country at least are sold for the pleasure of young boys and girts and it is essential that they be tmlned to be docile and gentle. When the little pony colt, w hich a man can aike np in his arms end carry about Is strong enough *o run and play with Its mother, a little halter la pm on It and It •s * might to lead and start and Mop at the word. When It grows stronger, but is net yet nearly full grown, a set of harness is fitted upon It. a smooth, easy hit la slipped Into its mouth, and It Is driven alKiut with the linen.

Gather All Larpe Specimens Before Vince Are Killed by Frost and Put on Bed of Straw. The tomato season may be extended several weeks by gathering all the large tomatoes before the vines aro killed by frost and putting them on a !*ed of dry rtraw. Put about tea bushels Id each be-.p. cover with straw at night and when weather is cold and wet. The tomatoes will ripen gradually and will he nearly as good at those ripened on the vines. If frost threatens, pull up the Tines with the tomatoes on the sines and pllr In the field. This la the method followed by our truck era and market gardeners. Where only a few bttahcU arc wanted, pick the largest and finest tomatoes and place them on a bed of straw in the cold frame, cover with a six-inch layer of straw. If rain threatens alhla on the sash, as they should not get wet or they will rot. Gather the ripe fruit for canning or preserving and make catsup while fruit Is abundant. The small green tomatoes may be sold for pickling. | WIRE STRETCHER IS USEFUL Implement Consists of Two Semieyiiadrical Section* Held Together
