1t is stated as a fact for horsemen that
the seed of the suntlower is the only remedy
ever discovered for the cure of founder in
horses. It Is directed, immediately on dis
covering that young horses are foundered, to
work about a pint of the whole seed into their
feed, and it is said that it will effect a perfect
cure.
The managers of the Lafayette county fair
have acted wisely in placing themselves in
the Central Missouri Trotting and Running

first animals are justified in attending,

fairs not thus organized. This arrangement
promises this year to supply an unusually fine
array of trotling and running horses for our
fair, and all lovers of the horse will be graft
fed by the excellent exhibitions in the arena
from day to day. The circuit as alluded to
