PROBERTS ESTABLISH “OLD HORSES’ HOME”

An “old horses’ home” and a . “vacation farm” for horses are both to be found on the hospitable acres of L. C. Probert, a Washington newspaper man, at “Homeland Farm,” Olney, Md. Mr. and Mrs. Probert have for years been active members of the Washington Humane Society. When Mr. Probert bought a farm recently they realized they had then the opportunity to put some of their good wishes for dilapidated horses into effect. Accordingly Mr., Probert has made a standing offer to take care of any horses condemned to die, so they may have a little idea .of “horse heaven” before they go, and to give other tired animals the “vacation” that many owners nowadays are granting their horses with their employes.
