Local Horse Notes.

In an article regarding the Minnesota
state fair, the same journal has the fol-
lowing paragraph: 1.-THE Minnesota
state fair is to be one of the great events
of the year. The organization will give
something over $4,000 in premiums.
But that which interests our readers
most is the speed programme which APP
pears on another page. The money
given for speed alone, amounts to more
than 1000, and should be won by the
readers of Dunton's Spirit of the Turf.
See, therefore. If some of the classes
don't exactly suit you. If you wish to
matter further, you better write Will
lam F. Cross, superintendent, or ii. r.
Denny, secretary, or Hon. William r.
Merriam, president"
The Minnehaha Driving Park asso-
citation, of Minneapolis, is ready for the
opening meeting, commencing the 18th
inst. The grand stand will seat 900
people, and box stalls for over 100 ami
mails have been fitted up. Dunton's
Spirit of the Turf has the following no.
tice of it: "Minnehaha Driving Park
association. according to promise, is
now out with firSt-claSS programme
for meeting the last week in this
month, and we are of the opinion that
it is just about as good programme as
there is going. We also wish to re-
mind our readers that other places can
be taken in, namely, the state fair at
Hamline, and the Southern Minnesota
fair at Rochester"
Hamilton Busbey, of the Turf,
Field and Farm, attended the trotting
meeting at Cleveland, and writes to his
paper that "W. R. Merriam, of st. Paul,
occupied each day seat in the timing
stand, and he pleasantly remarked to
me that he thought there was room in
the country for only one strong govern
ing association. President Edwards,
like myself, promptly agreed with him.
Mr.. Merriam is president of the A. T..
A., and his friends hope that he will be
the next governor OF. Minnesota"
All the stock except the weanlings at
the Erdenheim stables, at Chestnut
Hill, near Philadelphia, will be sold in

till next year.
W. l.. McGrath is very much pleased
with the way his two-year-old Upper
airy, by These us, is going. He expects
to see him come near winning in the
two-year-old contest this fall at the
state falr.
George W. Sherwood is spending
a good deal of time now at his stock
farm, and, as far as his business inter-
ests permit him, is experimenting his
stock business.

A Remarkable Animal.

Charles Backman, of Stony Ford, n.
Y, has bred two great trotters. One is
named Guy, and belongs to Mr.. Gordon.
of Cleveland, o. The other is Fred
Folger, belonging to Mr.. De Noyelles.
Both were known to be fast, and to test
their speed MI. Baclman offered as a
prize what he termed 1.-The Stony Ford
Cup" to be presented to the winner.
The race was trotted at the Cleveland
meeting. Hamilton Busbey, who was
present and witnessed the race, gives
the following Interesting account of it:
1.-The clouds were threatening Thurs
Gay forenoon, and there were some
drops of rain, but the afternoon was
sunny, and there was a very large
gathering at the park. Every seat in
stand could not accommodate the peO-
pie. At pleasant lunch party at the
Orchard, adjoining Gordon Glen,
the chances of Guy over Fred
Folger were discussed, and as
the ladies were friends of Mr.. Gordon,
the ruling sentiment was that the elder
brother would certainly win. Although
the wish was father to the thought, it
was realized. Mr.. De Novelties could
not forget his Rochester engagement,
and he instructed Splain not to tear
Fred FOlger to pieces. Mr.. Gordon was
out to see the race, and Guy was not
fretted in scoring. He got off promptly
In each heat, and trotted steadily. Mil
lard Sanders kept him well in hand, and
he won without being extended, in
H:1SA, 2:19, 2:1SH. 1t was not an eX-
citing affair. The Stony Ford cup, pre-
sented to the winner by Mr.. Backman,
was an artistic piece of work, and Mr.
Gordon will keep it as one of his treas
nres. 1t is rare for breeder to look
down upon a race in which two trotters
bred by him beat 800" From Cleve-
land Guy went to Buffalo, and ON the
9th trotted against Prince Wilkes, and
won the race. reducing his record to
e:14L.

Miscellaneous.

John S. Clark states in an inter-
view, published in the New York Sun,
that ''the intimation that there was
anything underhand in the sale of
Bell Bay is gratuitous falsehOod."
The Turf, Field and Farm, the paper
aimed at, retorted by saying that it did
not say there twas anything under
hand'' in the sale. What it admits it
said is that the wholesale advertiSing'
INDUCED in brought only two bidders
to the sale.
The stallion Viking, record 2:2O1I, by
Belmont, dam Waterwitch, that was
sold for $4,000 cash to F. 81. Foster. of
Richmond, Can. was bred at WOODBURY.
and was sold two years ago to Isaiah
Thomas, of Goffstown, N. H., for
$1,000, and the stallion, besides reducing
his record, has more than paid for him
self in the stud, so that the price now
obtained for him is clear profit.
W. H. Wilson, Cynthiana, KY, has
purchased through Wesley P. Balch,
Boston, Mass, the stallion lockwood,
five years old, by Wedgewood 2:19, out
of Noontide, 2:20I, by Harold, sire of
Maud S 2:0Ss4; Cd dam Midnight, dam
of Jay-Eye-See 2:10, by Pilot Jr, to
breed on Wilkes and Sultan mares, at
Abdallah Park.
w. II. Fearing has sold to the
Penn Valley stock farm the chestnut
mare, Ora Mater. two years old, by Bel
mont, dam Estrella, by imported Aus
tralian (half-sister to Alma Mater),
and Dora, bay mare, folded 1872 by
Rysdyk's Hambletonian, dam the
Weeks mare by Henry Clay.
The American trotter is becoming
more and more popular Oh the CONT
nent. A party of Frenchmen are in
this country trying to buy fast trotters.
They looked at Mambrino Spar kle,
2:17, and were willing to pay $4,000 for
her, but as Mr.. Gordon demanded
$4,000 no trade was made.
j. 1. Case, the owner of Pallas and
Jay-Eye-See, says he hopes the latter
horse will be able to stand training next
season; that he has not lost his action
and his gait is as good as it ever was.
He also says that after this year he will
not be contestant in any of the field
trials with his days.
At the Cleveland, o., meeting forty
nine heats were trotted or paced in har-
ness, and the average time was 2:19 II.
This is the fastest on record for four
days meeting. The 2:13 heat of john
ston under saddle, and the 2:O5I of You
Bet with running mate, reduced the av-
erage to 2:1S 1917.
Mr.. Easton will sell William B. AS
tors entire lot of yearlings, numbering
sixteen, the first week in September.
He will also sell, at auction, ali of Mrs.
G. S. LOrillard's horses in training.
Yearlings will be sold at about thd
same time.
Mike Welch, one of the oldest trainers
on the running turf, and a man who
was esteemed very highly, died a few
days ago at Chicago at the age of sew
enty-three.

Stock. Farm and Home says that DIR.
Curryer alone, with his excellent talks
on the horse and his object lessons in
training, has been worth to the state
mole than the entire appropriation
for the two years Institutes, and we.be-
neVe every interested attendant will in
dorse this proposition. When so much
can be said for one only of an excellent
corps OF workers, every one Of whom has
done in his line most efficient work,
some idea can be formed of how
profitable an investment our last legis-
!ature made when it authorized farmers
institutes. Frank Holmes, with his
great experience and skill as
buttermaker and successful feeder
OF stock; Mr.. Gabrilson, with his
knowledge of general farming, acquired
by years of experience and constant
study; Mr.. Dickson, with his entertain
ing and instructive talks Oh veterinary
science, and several other interesting
topics; G. l.. Smith, on small fruits,
gardening, etc; Mr.. Gregg. who
finds time in the midst of his multi
tudinous duties as superintendent
to give talks on the COW, dairy, ETC..
Miss Sanford and other entertaining
lecturers, and all these supplemented
by bright, practical and experienced
local talent, are among the causes that
make Institutes popular.

DEHORNING CATTLE.
This Is Becoming Popular, But
the Omaha Herald Urges These
Objections.


Objections.
The practice of dehorning cattle is such
thoroughly bad one that it is wonder
any StOckman should indorse it. 1t is a
cruel and useless operation, unfavora-
BILE in Its immediate effects, and unjusti-
fable even though it do all it's advocates
claim.
That more hornless than horned cat
tie can be jammed into a shed or car
must be admitted. But cattle should
never be damned into either shed or
car. The individual creature needs all
the space that. while he has horns, is
given him. To take off the horns
them Off, to crowd the deformed animal
into less room than he occupied before
would be another outrage.
The excuse that horns are dangerous
amounts to nothing. If vicious bull
with ring in his nose cannot be held
in subsection he should be killed. The
farmer who raises few steers usually
has .DaStaurage enough to let his stock
run without getting their horns tangled
IN the boundary fences. AS to the aver
age cow she is as harmless as kitten and
never makes any use of her horns more
threatening than to lower them at some
lmpudent dog, and if she has ever sue
ceeded in injurlng the dog, her success
is a matter of record. The unyoked
steer of the plains is too numerous to
mention. The contract to dehorn him
would be as simple as one to deprive all
the Holsters along the Atlantic coast of
their nippers, and based on as sound a
principle.
If cattle are to lose their horns they
ought also to lose their tails. This
would keep them nicely proportional
worth. 1t is often nuisance. 1t an
noys the flies. Cut it off. Having &C
cOmplished these changes the tusks
should be drawn from porkers, and the
claws extracted from the velvety and
ttreacherous feet of the family cat. This
is an era of reform.

over it, and upon his wife's face, shout
ders, and night dress. Thoughts of dark
deeds and cold-blooded murders flashed
through his head. In an instant he had
pulled his better half into sitting pos
ture, and was overJoyed to find her
alive. He called her attention to the
blood, and she in turn pointed to his
night dress, which was red with blood
from top to bottom. They glanced
toward the baby, who was alive and
kicking, but before either could gasp
words of horror, the little fellow held
up his right arm and crowed, ME, me-"
The little right arm, the night gown
and the bed clothes on the crib were
cletted with blood. The baby did not
seem to be suffering, and the fright
ened parents began an excited exam
nation OF his anatomy. They found
that all the blood came from wound in
the baby'S right arm, about two inches
below the elbow. How he received tho
wound they could not imagine, and
without loss of time DR.. Wilcox was
called. He examined it and said it swas
rat-bite. 1t was then all clear to the
ger showed where the rodent had
jumped. Above the wrists were marks
of the animals teeth in three separate
places. but neither of them penetrated
beneath the skin. The fourth bite, how
ever, sank deep into the baby's flesh,
struck a vein and a copious flow of
blood. Then the baby awoke and
jumped on its parents bed, covering
them with blood. They remember now
of the little ones endeavors to show
what was ailing him, but they could not
understand at the time.
DR.. Wilcox said that If the baby had
not bled so profusely he would have
been poisoned, and again, if he had let
his arm hang over the side of the crib
he would have bled to death. The par
ents are exceedingly grateful that the
accident did not result either way. A
remarkable part Of the story is that a
rat has never been seen in the neigh
borhood, and should one be there, it
would find plenty of food in the alley.
1t is thought the rat was frightened by
the thunder and lightning and rushed
wildly about until it found itself in the
crib, and then bit the baby.

d Hodge Furnishing Goods company,
on Olive street, near Seventh. Mr..
Appler and his wife and family occupy
neatly-built, twO-stOry stone front at
1911 Delmar avenue. Mr.. Appler, his
wife and baby sleep III the second-stOry
back room. and during the summer it is
their custom to leave the windows open,
and also the folding doors leading into
the front room.
Wednesday night they retired as
usual, the baby being fast asleep at the
time in a crib by its mothers side.
About half-past 2 o'clock yesterday
morning the thunderstorm and heavy
rain came up, and the peals of thunder
and flashes of lightning awOke every
one in the house. Mr.. Appler arose and
put all the windows down. and shut out
the flashes of lightning by closing the
storm-blinds. During all the thunder
storm and the excitement in the bed
room the baby @slept sweetly on. MI.
and Mrs. Appler again retired, but were
hardly asleep when the little one, with
a scream of pam and fright, bounded
into the bed and huddled close to its
mothers breast, trembling as with
chill.
Mrs. Appler thought the child sud-
denly awakened from fearful dream,
and tried to soothe it by telling it no one
was going to do any harm, but the little
fellow would not stop crying, and threw
himself across his father. Mr.. Appler
got up and walked around the room with
the child in his arms for few minutes,
and its crying finally ceased. The baby
was placed in. his little crib again, and
once more it was quiet. While walking
with the child Mr.. Appler felt its
clothes, and found them wet about the
arms and breast, and he thought the
child was perspiring freely.
