RUNNING TWO-YEAR-OLDs.

fTOm IHe new 1OTk oplTlb VI lne IlIutS
1t is very difficult for turfmen and
breeders to resist the temptation to run
their two year-olds lnjudiciously when
SO many valuable sweepstakes are pre-
scented by the leading race-courses of
the country. Near dozen such events
were included in the programmes for
Saratoga, Jerome Park, Monmouth
Park, and Baltimore, the present sea-
son; and many of the good colts have
run SO frequently that they are about
as well known to the public as the old
horses. That such use is often very in
judiciously made of the tender young
stest, is patent to all. If colt is de-
veloped, he should be the more careful
ly used; but the contrary is generally
the case. If he can probably win, he
must run, until he is either permanent
ly injured or exhausted; and the result
is, not only that his owners and hackers
lose in the latter part of the season
what they had won upon his earlier
races, but he is taken to his winter
quarters in an enfeebled condi ton, with
the chances very much against his
proving a successful three-year
These remarks have been suggested
by the racing of this year. The two
year-old starters have been very numer-
Gus, and in some instances evident dam
age has been done. AS colts are now
trained, they must submit to severe
preparations; and if they are called up
on to run frequently there is but little
left OF them. 1t is true that some
schooling and strong exercise is neces-
sary to the development of two-year-
olds. even if not intended for racing
until three years old; and when prepar-
ed. most owners prefer to see them
measure strides with other colts in pub
lie; and moderate indulg ence in this
desire, whether from curiosity or with
a view to profit, is very proper; but no
turfman who has reason to believe his
colt is a good one ought ever to take
the chances of injuring him, by run
ming him, as some do, several
times at a single meeting, and
campaigning him from course to
course as he does his aged horses. I'M
paired constitutions are sure to result
from such treatment, and very few re-

upon the turf or in the stud. Growth
cannot proceed under the exhausting
preparations and racing now so com
mon, and more than one owner of horses
in this vicinity finds his colts dwarfed
this year by long and severe use. Il
will also be found by reference to stable
memoranda that some of great promise
and remarkable speed in the spring
have been weakly failures in the fall
That others have stood the merciless
ordeal without being ruined, is no argu
ment against the more prudent theory
They would probably have been better
under more judicious management.
Many of the best race-horses O
England and America have been al
lowed to reach three or more years o.
age before being trained. Childer'
and Eclipse were each five years of ag'
when put in training, and, in fact, few

FIVE BALES TO THE ACRE,

Mr.. T. G. Warthen, of Washington
county, Ca, who made five bales of
cotton on one acre of land, furnishes
the SaRderSviIIe Herald with the fol-
lowing account of the land, its prepa-
ration, manuring, cultivation, etc.:
'The soil is sandy. with clay subsoil;
has been in cultivation for 90 or 80
years, / suppose. About half of the
acre was an old dung-hill, the other
half very poor before manuring. The
guano l used was Kettlewell's AA, or
Phospho Peruvian, 1,400 pounds; raw
pine-straw, from the woods, 60 OK cart
loads; green cotton seed, 60 bushels;
stable manure, well rotted, 400 bush
els. The pine-straw, cotton seed and
stable manure l hauled out in
January and strewed broadcast over
the land, then turned under with a two
horse pillow, breaking eight inches deep
Then with sixteen inch scooter run
In the two horse furrow, breaking
from 5 to inches; in the whole Is to Is
inches deep. | then followed in the
scooter furrow with the guano, or sub
soil fu1Tow, so on till completed. In
February, repeated the breaking in
the same manner leaving off manuring.
In March, the same again, breaking
each time cross-wise, or In opposite d.
rections. In April, 1 narrowed the
land twice, to level the soil, and destroy
the young vegetation. Then / checked
off my rows three feet each way, with
small bull-tongue pillow, and ON the 18th
of May, l planted my cotton
seed in the hill, six or eight inches
deep, dropped by hand, covered with
the foot. The seed when covered being
on level. The seed were the ''Cluster
Cotton" variety. l purchased them
from David Dickson, Esq, Oxford, Ga,
to whom l must confess am indebted
for my success, to a certain extent. The
seed, l am confident, were half the bat
tie. The cotton was thinned to one
stalk to the hill In June, with the ex-
ception of the outside rows, in which 1
left two stalks. Then 1 plowed with
24-inch sweep, Dickson's,' very shall
low, one furrow to the row, and about
eight days atterward, l repeated the
same, running one furrow to the row,
scraping the earth enough to destroy
the young weeds and grass. Did not
use hoe in it, in order to avoid skin
ming the cotton, in fact, had no use for
any, as the cotton grew sofast the shade
thereof prevented all vegetation from
growing underneath"

of the distinguished English horses of
their day were trained earlier. Fine
constitutions and usefulness In the
stud, at advanced ages, were amongst
the results. In this country the best
race-horses and most valued stations
have been those not injured by early
training. American Eclipse was broke
and gently trained after he was three
years old, but ran his first race when he
was four years old. He closed his long
and successful career upon the turf
with his great victory over Henry, be-
ing then nine years old, and sound In
all respects. As sire he was of great
value, and he lived to the age of
thirty-three. When twenty eight years
of age, he was advertised for sale as a
valuable stallion, and described as sin
fine health and vigor." Boston was
trained at three years old, but ran only
three races In that year-one in the
spring and two in the fall. His turf
career of unexampled success closed in
1912, when nine years DID, and, after
great usefulness In the stud, he died at
twenty seven years of age. Lexington
was three years old when putinto train
ing. Invincible upon the turf, he is
still more successful in the stud, and
now, at twenty-three years Of age, his
excellent constitution is demonstrated
by continued usefulness.
If turfmen must needs sacrifice some
colts to Impotence, they should select
their compact and wel-matured ami
mails, not too large, which are really
more likely to be successful as two
year-olds than those of great size and
promise, which should be reserved for
great achievements when they become
horses. We should probably have
many more good aged horses upon the
turf, If at least a reasonable proportion
of valuable colts were turned out to
grow and mature, after only enough
work to give them action and shape.
Prepare them for trial, but do not try
them.
"Stonehenge," in his treatise upon
the principles of breeding, referring to
certain families of horses noted for size
and value, says: ''All are fast enough
for anything, but require time to fill
up their fine frames and should have
been reserved till five years of age, if
justice could have been done them" If
there was reason In his remarks, the
consideration we have urged may be
worthy the attention of American turf
men. Patience will reap its rewards.
wait and win, the favorite maxim of
English Jockeys, is quite as applicable
to the prudent management of large
and valuable colts in preparation, as to
the Jockeys skill in landing his win

ground" that yields some thirty,
some sixty and some hundred
fold" When the city of Babylon was
in its glory, Herodotus, the father of
history, described the province of
Babylon" as producing 200 fold.
Where now is the soil that fed the in
habitants of Palmyra and Nineveh? If
the Asiatics refuse to make any i'm
provement in three thousand years and
delight in deserts, shall we follow their
bad example? Is it not time
to study the doctrine of mans
duty to feed the land that feeds him?
Agriculture has its duties as well as
its benefits, 1t is the neglect of duties
that gives mankind all their trouble
about food and raiment. 1t is the eva
sion of duty that begets poverty, crime,
disease, and untime by death. Man robs
the earth of plant food to buy gold; and
sells his gold to intoxicate the brain,
fatten the germs of insanity, and serve
'the flesh and the devil" and calls it
progress and christian civilization"

SINGING TO CONS.

Cows are sociable, and understand
more than we suppose. The way 1
came in possession of this choice bit of
knowledge, Tim and l used to sing to
our cows. They knew very quick when
we changed from one tune to another
We have tried them repeatedly. When
we sang sober church hymns, they d lop
their ears down, look serious and chew
their cud very slowly, reminding me-
no irreverence meditated-of nice old
ladies in church, listening to the words
of thepreaeher, yet all the time munching
clover. Then we'd change to some
quick air, Yankee Doodle or the like,
and they would shake their heads, open
their eyes, blink at us as much as to
say, "Stop, don't you know we are the
deacon's cows ?" But when we would
stop entirely, every COW would turn her
head, as if asking us to 60 on with our
singing. If it was pleasant, we gem
orally sang together through the entire
milking. l love the dear animals that
add so much to our comfort. Boys,
will you not be kind to the cows?-
