The lshmael of Animals.

The mule is hybrid with no pedi-
gree, belongs to no genus or no species,
has bad reputation, and has been
abused all his life. If persistent treat

he has sufficient excuse for being an Ish-
mael among other animals, with his
heels against all Of them. Even in the
questionable sawdust circle he has no
place of trust, honor or emolument"
but is ever compelled to be a guy and
clown, and yet he possesses many solid
virtues. He natures quicker than the
horse, is harder, will subsist ON less
and coarser food, is less liable to dis
case, is stronger in proportion to
weight, needs less care, will do as
much work every day and live twice as

TEMPERANCE ITEMS.

AN English doctor says that OF 1, $40
cases of govt only one was that of %
total abstainer, and his ancestors wero
beer and wine drinkers.
ACCORDING to Mr.. Alexander Nc
Dugal, in the United Kingdom there is
population OF five and a half millions
in state Of poverty, for which drink
is mainly responsible.
In the town OF Bessbrook, Ireland,
where John G. Richardson employs
5000 people in the manufacture of
Irish linen, no liquor has been sold for
forty years; and as result there is
neither policeman, prison, pGwnshop
nor pauper in the town.
BEER is not food. Four hogsheads
of beer are not equal in nourishment
to one loaf of bread. The beer drinkcr
is not soothed, but raralyzed, he is not
fed, but poisoned; he is not cured of
his maladies. but made diseased in
every part, and ''wears his heart on
his sleeve bare to death-wound, even
from rusty nail or the claw of u cat"

More sheep die in the spring from
indigestion than from any other cause
whatever, according to the Michigan
Farmer. and this is due generally to.
the nutritious food, as straw, poor

eat TO sustain life.
Fried Fish: See that the slices are
cut across the body, if pieces of a large.
fish are used. Wipe dry. Egg and
crumb, Us for other fried articles. Fry
in deep fat, which must be smoking
hot, using frying basket. Set it back
a little after the first, and cook for five
minutes.
Poultry is generally the most neg
lected of all farm stock, while, in pro-
portion to cost, it can be made the,
most profitable. Putting o hen at fifty
cents, she ought to pay a net profit of
twice her value in year, and she will
do it easily if given q fair chance.

1t is q myth that never materializes.
The only way to 'buru up" a crop is
by ncglecting it. Plenty of manure,

HARROWS AS HOES.
How to Lessen Hand Labor in the Perform.
auce of Farm Work.


1 have narrowed my potatoes for.
twenty years-long before l had a.
smoothing harrow. Since have had
the latter implement l use it for both
corn and potatoes. AS plant my pota-
toes very early and they are some time
coming up l run the harrow over them
before the vines appear, then again
soon after they are up. Iplant in drills,
with the rows two and one-half feet.
apart. In about a week or ten days,
according to the weather, and the
starting of the weeds, run the Guilt
vator through. and before they start.
again | run through with C. horseshoe.
then run through with Il double mold,
board pillow, which will do about all the
killing needed; but if the weeds start
again before the vines are too large. l
run through with the horseshoe again,
set so as to hill more. If the rows are
just far enough apart the pillow works
splendidly. With corn, | run the har-
row before the corn is up, and then
follow up with a weeder, unless the
ground is very free from stones. If it is
so, the harrow can be used until the
corn is six inches high. If the ground is
stony, the weeder is better, rs it can be
lifted over any distractions, and can
be used until the corn is one foot high.
l then use the hoe as long as needed.
If these machines have been used at n
proper time-say, just as the weeds are
breaking through the gr0und--there
will be no further trouble with weeds.
If l do not want to SOW grass seed, /
hill little, and that covers all the
weeds in the rows. One advantage of
this system is that use no hand labor,
which costs too much. Another ad-
vantage is that one can choose a hot.
dry sunny forenoon and go over alb
the ground, while if the work is done
by hand. rain may overtake him, and
the weeds may get large and grow all
the better for the hoeing. know of
no soils on which one can not use, at
least, two of the implements named,
and these used at proper time and in
proper way Will always take the
place of the hand hoe. One should al
ways remember that they must be used
before the weeds get much of start,
otherwise they will often help the
weeds along. They can be used in Hill
culture as we'll as in drill. They can
entirely supplant hand labor. l never
use the hoe to plant or cultivate after
the crop is up. AS l have said, do
not believe any farmer can afford to
use hand labor as it is too expensive.
A man must use his brains if he wants
to succeed with u machine, A harrow
or a weeder run ovee piece of corr or
potatoes on a hot, dry sunny day at
the proper time, will kill all the weeds;
out if used on q wet day or after the
weeds are up it is worse than useless.

The best time ever made by a 3-year old filly
in a heat race was scored at Petaluma, CAL, on
August g. by Lillian Wilkes, which beat the
Palo Alto crack flly Sunol in the second heat
in 2I75z. San Franciscans dropped thousands
on the race as they were SO sure of Sunol that
they gave odds of 500 to $40. Sunol has a
record of 2:lS as 2year-old and is the pride of
Governor Stanford's stable. After the first
heat she seemed to go wrong An offer was
made after the race to match her against
Lillian in October for S. 900. but it was not ac-
cepted. Lillian, the winner is by Guy Wilkes

supremacy. Bets have been made as to which will

That the two 1lies will have to come together
again can scarcely be doubted, bnt just when re-
mains to be seen. The Wilkes party claim that
their mare is the gamest and that she can make
the other stop: but of course just now. in the eX
citement of the event, important influences are
apt to be overlooked. As the events of the race
turned, the course taken by Margaret s. was de-
cidedly of advantage to Lillian Wilkes, for that
speedy mare, though not in condition to stay the
mile out has great fight of speed, which was
probably short of work. 1 do not wish to UNDER

TEEMER AND GAUDAUR.
All the Stakes Up and the Referee Question
Settled.

Settleus
The hackers of John Teemer put up the final
deposit $780, yesterday for their man in his
race against Gaudaur, which takes place at
McKeesport on Friday afternoon next The
articles of agreement demanded that referee
be appointed on the day of the final deposit and
in accordance with this provision that point
was settled yesterday. Gaudaur stated that he
was of the same opinion as st. John. viz: he was
willing to leave the matter with THE Dis
PATCH.
Gaudaur's new boat will arrive in the city
to-day and he and Hamm will be here to look
after it. Teemer is afraid that his new boat
will not arrive soon enough for Fridays race.
Gaudaur likes the course extremely well and
thinks the water excellent to row on. The race
will be rowed from Port Perry to point almost
opposite McKeesport
Teemer yesterday afternoon expressed his
opinion regarding the Searle-O OConnor race.
He said: while think that the leading soul
lers in America are superior to the Australians,
and am also of opinion that o. Connor is not as
good as the public think he is. I am
Confident that l can defeat O'Connor
when l am in condition, and If
defeat Gaudaur on Friday shall at once put
up a forfeit to row either O'Connor or Searle.
will have to be much speedier than Matterson
to be irst-class here. Why, could always beat
Matterson at any stage of race. When 1rowed
AGAINST him on the Thames he was as speedy as
he ever was and more than held him when he
was at his highest pressure. 1t is, therefore,
clear that Searle must be much speedier than
Matterson to beat American champions"

HOW DEMPSEY WAS BEATEN.
Billy Dacey Sends nm Interesting Account OF
the Battle.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCH.l
NEW YORK, September 6-Billy Dacey, the
popular lightweight of this city. who is in San
Francisco looking for a match. sends to friend
a letter in which he talks Interestingly of the
La aBlanche-Dempsey fight before the California
Athletic Club. 1t is dated August 20, two days
after the mill. In one part he says:
"As 1 write this the excitement is still great
over the Dempsey-La Blanche battle. You
who did not see the fight cannot understand
how Jack got defeated: but tell you he went
down fair and square, as he himself acknowl-
edges although he had everything his own way
up to the time the knockout blow was de-
livered. The blow was gwen in a
kind of a rally at the side Of
the ring. At first everybody thought
it was the Marine who went down; but no, it
was poor Jack. His secondsrwere dumfounded.
He fell face forward. Several of us halloed
at him to get up but he was counted out You
that ring and come out defeated for whom
there will be SO much sympathy as there was
for the Nonpareil. You would have felt terri
bly, sad to see him trying to get his feet.
"Ihey took him to his dressing room. and he
lay on This cot and cried. Th blow that
knocked him out was a bacR-hauder, such as an
amateur would be apt to deliver. After he had
dressed and started for his hotel, the crowds
cheered him as though he had been the victor
Marine. Jack can get backing of $50, 900 in ten
minutes to go out on barge and fight La
Blanche with skin gloves. But the Marine says
Jack made him wait over three years. and now
he (La Blanche) IS going to do the debating as
to a time of meeting"

Donoyun and the LeRer.

A writer in London Truth says that last year
the Leger was regarded as match between
Seabreeze and Ayrshire. In 1887 the Leger was
very open race, and the betting was heavy
throughout the summer. but both in 1856 and
1885 it was question of health for the Derby
winner, and SO it is again this year. see that
an offer to bet fl 600 to $500 on Donovan has
been refused. and do not wonder, for it really
does not seem possible that he can be beaten,
and the Duke of Portland is not going to incur
him for any of his previous engagements.
Quite apart from Leger consideration, it would
be desperate faulty to knock Donovan about,
for there is nothing to beat him In the f12, 600
stake at Manchester on September q, as Safety
is apparently not to be feared, and Seabreeze
has clearly gone all to pieces and is not likely
to win another race. Next season Donovan is
only in the Rous Memorial at Ascot and the
f12 0O0 race at Manchester in September.
