Our Trottins Horses.

1tis .said, that, although tn,
crack race horses Of the pres
sut day make better time in thei
two and three-mile dashes thar
their predecessors Of half century
aGo. they, Jack the repeating powsl
oi the old stock. 10 use a. st able
phrase, they are "bred too fne. -
In the culture of the blood horse,
"bottom" has been sacrificed to
shors-lived speed.
We are inclined to think that
what is true of the racer in this re-
gard is to some extent true, also,
OF the trotting horse. The Ameri-
can trottcrs that, achieved such
wonderful feats thirty or forty years
ago, were of a sturdier make than
the flyers We now see in Harlem
Jane and on the trotting course sof
New York, Pennsylvania, and New
Jersey. Ssme Of the former were
regular ''roughs" and had no
'pedigrees;" but their performan-
ccs astonished the world.
Mr.. Boomers Dexter is doubt
less the fastest trotter for q SINGLE
mile ever backed or driven. d His
Pm. II las, for that distance,
has never been equalled; but Dutch
man, the king of the trotting turf
thirty years since, would probably
have beaten him badly in three
mile contest. Yet Dexter is of the
blood Of Messenger and Sir Henry,
m equine aristocrat Of unimpeacha-
BILE antecedents, while the pedigr &c
of plebeian Dutchman is unknown.
If the practical object of the
trotting turf is to improve the breed
Of the horse for utilitarian purposes.
hardness and constitutional vigor
should be considered as we'll as
speed. Tom Thumb, Rather,
Whalebone, Top Gallant, and
Dutchman, the five ''cracks,"a of
thirty-6ve years ago, would have
left everything that cuts a figure in
1.-THE lane" far behind in q ten-mile
race. Many of our celebrated trot-
ters are almost as delicately formed
as the finest throughbreds. These
horses make extraordinary time for
brush of a mile or 80, but they do
not combine the qualities Of speed
and enthusiastically ESSENTIAL to
the perfection of the trotting horse
--in the same admirable proper
tions as did their predecessors Of a
third Of a century ago.
Show US the trotter of the pres
ent day that can make his three
miles in I'm. 30 1-2s., as Dutch
man did on the Beacon Course IN
1880, and We will change our opin-
lon. We do not believe that there
is horse in America, or anywhere
else, that can accomplish the. feat.
DO far, it has never been equalled.
And yet Dutchman was one of the
eansille-a steed without q gene
alogy.-N. Y. Sunday Times.

PRACTICAL Hints Pertainfnx
to Gardening.

Rake of the coarse rubbish from
the asparagus bed, and add about
two inches Of we'll rotted compost as
. dressing. Water it With LIQUID
manure, with little salt added.
In making new beds, sow the seed
in the spring. When two years old
transplant the stalks into rich bed
one foot apart each way, and cover
with four inches Of rich compost.
To raise early beets, SOW in q hot
bed and transplant as soon as the
frost is out Of the ground. After
coming up they ought to be thinncd.
90 as to stand foot apart in the
row. Transplant those taken out,
after shortening the top and root a
little. .-,
Beans can be planted as soon as
the grouad begins to warm, except
lima beans, which cannot be planted
earlier than corn. They do not
grow until the ground is very warm.
To get early cucumbers, the seed
should be planted in a hot-bed.-
After the weather gets warm enough
take of the sash, and allow the vines
to run over the frame, and over
bushes spread around. This will
give them chance to branch out.
For later crop, set out the plant 8
in noles about foot square and six
inches deep. Have the soil rich
and fne. As soon as the plants
start make frame or hoop. three
or four inches high, of paper boards
or wood veneers, and cover with
paper; newspapers will do. This
will keep off the bugs until the plant
gets : good start. Experimental
