The 'FrOtr,ug Records

Our annual lists of trOtters with
records of 2:25 or better, shows an in
crease of 06 names this year, 80 of the
number being included among those
that have trOtted i'm 2:23 or better. A
comparison of the numbers in the fast
est classes for 1915 with each succeeding
year will be interesting. Just five years
ago we published table similar to the
one now given to our readers, and a
good deal of Importance was attached
to the fact that it contained the names
of thirteen horses that had distinguished
themselves by trOtting mile i'm 2:20 or
better, and that DeXter'S 2:17I which
had so long stood at the head of the list,
had been reduced to 1864, by Goldsmith
Maid.
A year later we published the names
of % trOtters in the 2:20 class, and an
nOunced that the old Queen of the Turf
had brought the record down to 2:14. In
January, 1877 our 2:20 list had increased
to q, with the best record unchanged.
The next year the list of 2:20 trOtters
numbered 81, and Goldsmith Maid, with
2:14. still held the post of honor. But
January, 1879, brought material change;
Queen of the Turf had been dethrOned,
and Rarus lead the roll of trOtting celeb
rites with the record reduced to 2:l3I;
and we had A names in 2:20 class. This
year shows still further reduction.
Rarus was able to hold the post of honor
but single year, and scion of the
HambletOnian family again succeeds to
the place which, ever since Dexter, i'm
1867, made his record of 2:174, with the
single exception of last year, has been
held by the descendants of the grand

Clean Pasture.

In an address before the Indiana Sheep
Growers Association B. F. Magee said
there is one thing about pasturing sheep
that has been overlooked, viz, the dam
age done to grass through being run
over by the flock. While | believe that
one acre of good grass would keep five
sheep or may be eight sheep well, l do
not believe that 100 acres would keep 500
sheep. Five sheep would probably do
but little damage to one acre, even though
they were confined to it, they would
make but few tracks over it i'm day,
and would easily find fresh grass each
day. But suppose we put 500 sheep in a
10O-acre lot. If each five sheep would
cOnfne themselves to their own partic-
ular acre they probably would do well i'm
the summer, but they will not do this, and
right here is where theory and practice
part company. Our five sheep start out
to Craze and the 495 go along with them.
Now sheep is dainty creature and
likes clean food, so the hindersOme part
of the flock keep pushing ahead, paying
little attention to what has already been
run over, and being in each others way
each sheep would go over ten times as
much ground before it is filled as it
ought, and having so much more work
to get its food it does not do so well as
one that can satisfy itself with little or
no eXertiOn. Going over the trail too
frequently and picking among dung and
urine for grass, is doubtless what makes
large flOckS so liable to disease.

An Astonishing Bird.

There was an amusing incident in a
drawing room car on the Hudson river
railroad the other day. A family from
the country entered the car at the Grand
Central depot with a large. brilliantly
cOlored parrot i'm a cage. The cage was
hung up in car and the bird silently
watched the entering passengers and
preserved calm dignity until the train
started on its nOrthward journey. The
rafting motion soon stirred Polls
tongue into life, however, and the crow
ing of rooster, the cackling of a hen
and the mewing of a cat enlivened the
trip for some distance. A little girl,
thinking the bird too noisy, finally put a
paper over the cage, and the darkened
parrot preserved an OminOus silence
which was suddenly broken by the ex-
clamatiOn i'm almost human tones:
whoa, hOa, d-n you, whoa, heap' The
car load of passengers was cOnvulsed
with laughter and the girl overcome
with confusion. MOS

Governed by Lawyers.

The Senate of the United States con-
sists of rs members and of this number
SO are practicing lawyers. OF the 295
members of the House of representatives
PIG are lawyers. The President and Vice
President of the United States are
lawyers and nearly all the Government
departments are headed and directed by
the same profession. In the Senate
especially among Senators themselves
each members ability is guaged by his
rank as lawyer. When the status of an
incoming Senator is under discussion
the remark is very frequently made: HE
is fine lawyer and will make good
Senator" Because the man is a
good lawyer the suppOSitiOn with Sena-
tors is that he must therefore be first
class statesman. Why the people of the
United States gives such preference to
profession of the law in selecting their
Legislators and rulers is a problem that
cannot be answered. In the Senate there
is only physician, and in the House
there are but 6. There are among the
senators 8 business men or merchants
doctor, editor, 2 planters, 2 farmers
banker, mine owner and operator and
Dne of no profession or business.
Besides the 2l9 lawyers in the House
there are % merchants, bankers, 3
capitalists, inventors, 3 manufacturers
2 teachers, II farmers, physicians, |
architect and builder, editors, min
listers, stone cutter, l insurance agent
2 millerS and owners and operators OF
transportation lines. The oldest mem-
Der of the house is Mr.. Waite, of Con-
necticut, who is siXty-nine years of age
and the youngest member is Mr.. Frost

Oatmeal.

Oats proper for manufacture into oat-
meal comprise the greater number of
varieties grown in Britain and also i'm
United States; but those kinds are best
which are round, plump, thin-skinned
and completely awnless. Those grown
on light loan soil yield meal amount
ing to about three-fOurths of the weight
OF the grain. Oats intended for meal
should be well cleaned and the grain
nearly of equal size, or the Smelling will
be imperfect. They require to be kiln
dried before being ground, TO break and
detach the husks, which is called shell
ing. This is accomplished with smooth
stones, revolving at the rate of 200 revO-
lutiOns in minute. When the oats leave
the stones they pass along sieve into
the fenS, where the huskS and light mat
ter are blown away. while the grain
suitable for meal is conveyed to another
set of smooth stones, revolving slower
than the former, but much closer. The
meal is then passed through sleeves. to
remove what husks may remain, when
it is ready for cooking.
