The western Freight Pool.

CHICAGO, Sept. IL After session of
the Western railway general managers,
asst ng until late this evening, the informal
compromise of yesterday. reviving the
Western Freight association, was made
binding. The principal obstacle to-day
was refusal by the Wabash to pool its ST.
Louis business at Chicago rates. This was
finally removed by the adoption of pro-
Xiso that all similar business of other roads
should be pooled on the same basis. The
agreement was then voted upon section by
section, and each section was adopted
separately. When The agreement as a
whole was put to vote there was slight
hitch, the representatives of the roads
being without authority to act. They finally
gave their assent, subject to the approval
of their directors. The truce between the
roads, which was to expire by limitation
| Sept. 15, was then extended to Oct. 1, and
the managers adjourned until Tuesday of
next week. During to- days session the
Wabash secured very important con-
ceSSion. AS an inducement to give its de-
cision to the new agreement. the Wabash
was promised that the balance due in the
old pool would be promptly settled.

The Minnesota fair proved to be quite a
favorable place for the disposing of horses,
and several good purchases were made. One
of the most noticeable of these sales was the

Draft Horses at the state Fair.

The great interest taken in draft horses
and the great importance of them for farm
work is illustrated by what the papers have
TO say in regard to the fine display made at
the late Minnesota state fair. In speaking
of this display the Chicago Breeders Ga
Zette says that ''whle the exhibit of En-
glish and French draft horses at the Mime
sofa state fair was of very creditable char
acter, it is doubtful if it came up to the
show of 1885, although number Of leading
studs were represented with good consign-
mentS of horses. and the competition in
some of the more important rings was quite
spirited" After speaking of the premi-
ums won BY the Galbraith Bros, Of James
vile, Wis, the Gazette expresses the fol-
lowing opinion in regard TO the Minnesota
stock:
Two of the best things in the draft classes,
however to our notion, were the grand
Clydesdale mares Cherry Red, imported last
wear by Mr. John Hope for MFR. n. P. Clark,
of ST. Cloud, Mimi, and the grand black
Darnley mare shown by the MeSSrs Gal
braith. Although the latter was placed first,
there were many-good judges who thought
the decision an erroneous one. Mr.. Clark S
mare is Of most extraordinary quality, show
ing grand back, rib quarters and legs. The
Galuraith mare is also animal of rare
merit. showing great wealth of Clydesdale
character, and. perhaps, better feet than her
rival Mr. Clark's mare is we understand, q
sister TO Mr. Huston's celebrated show
mare, Cherry Ripe. and she ought to be seen

she is Il really beautiful type of Clyde.

For the past two years Harry Wilkes
having easily defeated all rivals. it was
thought that if he, Oliver K and Belle F
could be brought together it would produce
a race that would attract widespread in
tereSt, draw a large crowd and be the at
traction of the year. The matter has been
before the board Of directors of the park
for several days The result is that the
board determined to offer special sweep
stakes ST $500 each for the sensational
trotters, Oliver K. Harry Wilkes and Belle F,
for race of mile heats. three III five to be
trotted Wednesday, Sept. %, the club to
add S3,000-50 per cent, OF the added
money to first horse, So to the second and
ID TO lhird. As Belle F at the Hartford
meeting, got record of 2:15I. and Oliver
K 1864, it is thought Harry Wilkes will
have all he can do to beat them. The
stakes and added money will amount to
81, 800, Of which the winner will get
s.. $50, the second S1,575, and the third
S675. Harry Wilkes is said to be able to
lower his record of 2:14$4 almost any time
he is asked to. After the race at Hartford
Oliver X was purchased by Fred Doble for
Charles Schwartz. of Chicago. Mr.
Schwartz is not only afraid to start him
against Belle Z. bat is anxious to enter him
iii the proposed sweepstakes against that
mare and Harry Wilkes. Belle T started
out this season doing very poorly, but she
has improved with every race. and really
appears to be getting faster every week
If she shows any improvement on the
Hartford form it will take a rare one to
beat her. That the race will be arranged
is pretty well assured, and that it will be
ore of the greatest trotting contests ever
known cannot be doubted. If the race
takes place as proposed st. Paul will be
well represented in Chicago on that day,

Harry wilkes, oliver IL and BELIEF.

The Washington Park club of Chicago
has been trying for some time to bring to-
gether three or four horses to trOt in that
city which should make race, for speed
and general interest that should far sur
pass all other races during the season. The
result of the great race at Hartford, Conn.,.
on the Cd day of this month seems to have
furnished the horses, and the race. as pro-
posed, will take place in Chicago, provided
the terms proposed are acceptable and the
horses will enter. This race at Hartford
was for purse of SO. 900. and is regarded
by horsemen as the greatest trotting race
that ever took place on this continent.
The herSes engaged in it were Oliver K, b.
g. Belle T, b. m. owned by Will lam r. Mer-
Ram. of st. Paul, Prince Wilkes. CHI. g.,

heats trotted were Oliver K, who won the
three last heats, and Belle f. who won the
two first heats. As this is regarded as the
leading and greatest race OF the year, and
as the two fastest heats were won by st.

Farm Hints for March.

Farm work in March is more de-
pendent upon the weather and eli
mate than that of any other month,
and although our southern readers
will be well forwarded with their
potato planting, and even have their
spring grain sown, before the month
comes in, whether it comes like a
lion" or like lamb" we of the
frigid North may have still three
feet of frost in the ground, and per-
haps good sieighing up to the TWEEN
ty-fifth, north-easters lasting a week,
spring floods, and roads which nei-
ther horses feet nor wagon wheels
can find bottom in, may be the order
of the day. SO hints about work
must be taken with liberal allowance
for the waywardness of this first
spring, and last winter month.
New seeds and new tools should
not be lost sight of, and it will often
pay to test the former in small guam
titles; then, if they do well, you will
have some seed yourself, and may
easily get more. We need not re-
mind our readers to be beforehand
with their work. Spring grains can
hardly be in the grounds too soon
after the frost is out Potatoes fol-
low as soon as there is reasonable
warmth in the ground. Grass seed
and clover may be sown with spring
grain, and clover on winter grain is
best sown upon one of the last light
winter SHOWS The earlier manure
is out upon grass and grain land,
the better. Even when the manure
is intended for a corn crop, and not
to be plowed under until the first
part of May, the gain in the growth
of grass, will more than compensate
the loss by the action of rains and
drying winds, except upon hill-sides
and spots where the land is espec-
tally exposed to the washing by
heavy rains. 1t is rare that the
month passes without warm and dry
weathsr sufficient to put the ground
in condition for blowing throughout
the great middle corn and small
grain belt of the COUNTRY merican

that man may resist his God; may

some postpone their decision from
