The new system Of dssh races by which

sections Of the country. Advocates Of the
system claim that IL will have tendency

heat races. In . dash race no chance is

afford an opportunity for several drivers
10 combine 10 tucker out the fastest horse
by going for him one at a time In each
heat. the others resting for the next.
The dash system would also cause more
purses to lie offered. thus making more
entries. and giving more horses . share
Of winning something.
Many horses are troubled ,hi. fall with
,ersiehs. and .welled legs. In such cases
care should be used In drying the legs
with bsndsges s soon /. the animal is
brought in from work and for outward
application We believe white lead to be
As good a. snything.-snd We have tried
. gr,a, many remediss,-and the less
oil mixed with the lead the better. The
addition Of . little solution Of earbolie
acid may often hasten the healing process.
Glaubefs salts are excellent TO remove
humon from the blood. II fed for = long
time. are also apples aud potatoes.
Keep the system strong with nutritious
food. and don't let them depend on fros,ed
grasses for nouri.hment, In al effort TO
