The following facts relative to the
state school examination which is being
held this week may prove of interest to
many of our readers:
There are So State High Schools in
Minnesota which will begin the State
Board examinations next Monday.
These examinations are held twice each
year; the first beginning on the last Mon
day i'll January and the second on the
last Monday in May.
A short time before each examination
the principal Of the school fills out a
blank asking for as many sets of ques-
tons as there are pupils in the different
subjects Or which he wishes to give ex-
aminations, and the questions on each
subject are sent in separately sealed en-
velopes.
When the class is seated according to
the requirements of the State Board, the
seal is broken by the principal in the
presence of the class.
The pupils write the answers to these
questions and their papers are sent to
the examining committee at Minneapo-
lis.
If a pupil passes this examination a
certificate in this subject is returned
which will admit him to the university
without further examination, and these
certificates are alsa accepted in the other
higher institutions in the northwest.

THOROUGHLY SURPRIsED.-On last Sat-

is teaching in the Bohall district. She
was attending an entertainment in the
school house and on returning to Mr.
BOhall's, her boarding place, was greatly
surprised at finding SO many of her old
friends there. Merriment and lively
games suitable to the occasion were i'm
mediately kindled, which served as most
pleasing pastime until the midnight
hour when an oyster and general supper
| was served which was relished by the
tired mirth-rnakers. The time for part
ing arrived and all went home happy.
The party tender their thanks to Mr.. and
Mrs. Bohall for the kind and pleasing
manner in which they were received.

Wilkes was raised on cows milk. Belle
Hamlin, 2:l3i, had all she wanted of it
from the time She was weaned until grass
came the next spring. Cows milk differs
from mares milk chiefly in the matter of
cream. There Is no cream in mares milk,
and think any objections which have
arisen to cows milk were due to feeding
the cream. Mr.. Belmont gave the whole
milk of his rich Jerseys to his running
foals and they did not develop satisfacto-
rily. Had he skinned it first the result
might have been different. know sew
eral breeders who are using cows milk
extensively and with apparently good re-
suits. Where the deep setting system
prevails and the skim milk is kept sweet
it is well worth trial, but nothing
that is soured should ever be fed to colt
1t should be slightly warmed before feed
ing, and it will conduce greatly to health
and digestion TO take the chill off the
water fed to colts or grown horses through
the cold season. The second year he
should be kept growing strong and equal
ly well exercised. A colt raised in this
way will be as much of horse and as
saleable at three years old as an ordinari-
ly raised Vermont colt at five. The
chances of selling him are far better than
with the usual system. Stallion owners
are proud of directing the attention of
people to colts by their horses that are
thus raised, or of showing them at fairs.
The existence of colt of this sort soon
gets noised about. He quickly advertises
himself and is apt to sell himself. He
ceases to be an ordinary colt. Nothing
eXcites so much comment as colt that is
above the ordinary. Everybody likes a
horse, while other kinds of stock find
their admirers only in classes.

HILLS BLACK HAWK.

Editor Dunton's Spirit Of the Turf
When read few weeks ago in your
paper short article on the breeding of
Black Hawk, where you said the
ignorance of others should not be charged
against you, it made me feel like saying,
don't mail me another copy of paper
that such nonsense is printed in. How
ever, this is country where free speech
is allowed, so that the theorists will con-
tinue to write and talk that Paddy sired
Hills Black Hawk. Now is any mans
opinion stronger evidence that Paddy
sired Black Hawk than the records put
upon paper by the hand of John Bellows,
the owner of Sherman Morgan and Pad
dy: Within two months | have had the
pleasure of examining the stud-books of
John Bellows, for the services of Sher-
man Morgan and Paddy, and find that
Paddy was sold in 1880, and was never
owned by Mr.. Bellows afterwards: nor
was he stable companion of Sherman
Morgan after the season 1880. How is it
that Mambrino Wilkes. a gray horse,
son of George Wilkes, whose dam was a
gray mare, and the sire of his third dam,
gray horse, gets bay, brown and black
foals, as well as gray-he gets quite a
number of black foals? viii some theo-
rist tell me how Black Hawk comes to
get sorrel colt with white ankles be-
hind, out of a bay mare which he did do
here in New Hampshire? A few men
seem to act as though Black Hawks dam
had nothing to do with making him the
great horse he was.
1t is well known that the dam of this
noble animal was a large black mare
with great deal of nerve force and
speed; no other kind of a mare is worth
much for brood purposes or anything
else. John Bellows, stud-book and hand
bills for 1882 prove that the dam of Black
Hawk was bred to Sherman Morgan,
May 18th, 1892, and afterwards collected
sli.OO for service fee. The theorists say
because many of Black Hawks foals were
black, he must have been sired by Paddy
"a horse that never amounted to any,
thing. They ignore the dam of Black
Hawk. The stations that have the
power to produce bays, browns or blacks
with uniformity are very few. The
whole matter of Black Hawks breeding
comes to this-Are the opinions of few

HOMElY MIKE WILKES,

Mike Wilkes has curious history. In
the salad days of youth it was deter
mined TO make a trotter of him. his
breeding warranting the belief that he
would go fast at that gait. One of the
first men to handle him was George
Noorhis, then establishing at the Detroit
track. BY means of liberal application
of toeweights Mike Wilkes was induced
to trot fast, at one time showing a mile
in 2Ot, but all this time he wanted to
pace. Noorhis was harsh in his meth
DDS with the gelding, and finally the
horse resented that sort of treatment and
became bolter, being ready to go over
the fence on the slightest provocation.
There was no use trying to make trot-
ter of him at that time, that was certain,
and he had become so bad tempered that
it was not exactly pleasant to drive him.
For all these reasons Mike Wilkes, in the
prime of life, was sold to F. j. Berry for
less than $500. Berry is,a shrewd horse
man, Yankee and man who has held
his own with the world ever since he
was boy. He decided inasmuch as the
horse did not want to trot he would be
allowed to pace, and it was under these
that Mike Wilkes became
a sidewheeler and gradually reduced his
record at that way of going to 2;l54.
This was about his limit at the pace, and
so his present owner, bright-eyed
"horsey" little jew who lives in Still
water, MIMI, and drives his own horses
in their races, concluded last winter that
he would put the old fellow back to a
trot again. Thus far Mike has been able
to trot in 2;26, and thus stand ahead of
his full brother Ira Wilkes, pacing record
2 ;22t, trotting record 2 2S. Another bro
ther, Adrian Wilkes, is the sire of Roy

all these that | value, and l can safely
say the best horses | have bred have
possessed this strain. | do not mean to
say they have all been fast, although
some of them have been, but they have
all those qualities which make reliable,
sensible, fearless, enduring horse.
This is the kind of horse that Black
Hawk himself was. He was one of the
strongest horses | ever knew. They
used to say that Justin Morgan, small
as he was, could at dead lift pull
more weight than any other horse in
Vermont; and | have no doubt Black
Hawk was capable of the same perfor-
nance. He was admirably balanced
His stiles and gaskins were immense
and beautifully formed. His back was
short and strong. His hips long and
smooth. His shoulders and arms we're
very muscular. At the same time he
was symmetrical and had no superfluous
flesh. No horse ever had handsomer
head and neck than he had, and his in
telligence was great. His power in har-
ness was apparently equal to any weight.
His gait was always level, and his break
was an advantage rather than a hind
rance to his speed. have seen him pull
an old-fashoned C-spring chaise at a rate
almost speedy, and when he broke, even
with this great weight behind him, he
seemed to be running away, and he re-
turned to his feet again as if he had only
a sulky behind him. That handsome,
cheerful, powerful. well-made, good-gait-
ed horse like this should have laid the
foundation of good family is perfectly
natural.
The discussion now going on about
the breeding of Black Hawk is not new.
When first saw him, in the possession
of Brown and Thurston, he was spoken
of by them as Morgan colt. Later on,

He resembled, moreover, many of those
powerful little horses for which Vermont

had made his mark that question of his
ancestry arose, and claims were set ur
