BALsORA WILKES.
Another Milk Wagon Horse With
q History.

It's understood that Balsora Wilkes,
that made a record OF 2:174 last sea-
son, and at one time was considered
likely to considerably reduce those
figures, has been sold for $4,000, but
thus far no information as to who his
new owner is has been vouchsafed.
Balsora Wilkes is one of the few fast
trotters aud PAGERS that has really
romantic history. He is well enough
bred, being by WiIkie Collins,
son of George Wilkes, and
out of a mare by Balsora, and
was bred by Gen. Howard, of Buffalo.
Being a rather ungainly colt,he was not
thought to be credit to his sire, and
was consequently sold when four years
old for $50 to man who drove him in
a milk wagon. 1t was while engaged in
this humble capacity that the chestnut
gelding's speed was discovered, and on
being put in training in 1887 he soon
showed the ability to pace mile close
10 2:20. Last year ne made a long cam
paign, making record of Alta, as
stated above. 1t is known that he is
for sale at $4,000, and the probabilities
are that he will he disposed of before
spring, although hardly at these fig
ures, the price being rather high one
for PAGER OF his speed.

WESTERN COLTS.
Care to Be aiken With Dam and
Offspring.

Colts are weaned at from four to six
months. When it is necessary to use
the mare much, either for farm work or
road purposes, it is better for both to
wean at four months. WEAVING, as for
merly practiced, was rather critical
period in the youngsters life, especially
when the latter had neither been halter
broken nor taua hit to eat grain. roots,
apples. or anything of the kind. Be-
fore weaving, halter-break the colt,
using strong. pliable. well-titting head
halter. 1t should also be taught to eat
while running with its dam. This can
be accomplished in few days by feed
ing the mare in a trough large enough
to permit the colt to get its nose in
easily by the side of that of the dam.
1t is much better for the dam that the
weaving process be gradual. For two
or three days the colt should be allowed
to suck three times day, giving less
each time. After that let the colt with
the dam only morning and night, dimin.
ishing the amount gradually each meal
for few days. and at the end of the
week let it suck only at night for two or
three days. At the end of this time, il
the mare has been kept on hay without
grain, she will be nearly dry ana the
colt can be taken off. Watch the mare
for few days and milk her if neces-
sary. Feed the colt on bright, early
cut hay-rowen is better-and keep a
pail of fresh water within its reach.
Feed oats and wheat bran, beginning
with pint of each night and morning,
and increase gradually to one quart of
each twice day.. Some prefer to have
the oats bruised. that is, ground coarse.
If the colt lacks thrift, nothing will
start it quicker than cows milk. That
which has been skinned will cause as
rapid growth as the new milk. 1t is
sometimes desirable to wean colts at
three months, or even younger. When
this is the case cruel made of oatmeal
and wheat middlings, to which quart
or two of skinned milk has been added,
fed twice day, makes an excellent ra-
ton. By adopting this method the colt
can be kept growing every day while
weaving.

CLEANED AT SALTWATER.
Forger Smith Asserts He Means
to Die Of Starvation.

to Die of Starvation.
The exclusive publication in the
GLOBE yesterday. of the Saturday even
ing exploits of the forger, Charles
Smith, alias Larkey, alias King, had
the effect of bringing to light the fact
that the prisoner was discharged about
four years ago from the state prison,
where he served a term for forgery, and
also of setting afoot an investigation
which is quite liable to show. that he is
the hitherto undiscovered criminal,
who in the fall of $50 raised a stolen GER
tifcate of deposit from $40 to $780, and re-
ceiyed its apparent face value at
Burke's clothing store. A short time
previously to Smiths attempt at work.
ing off the Sis time check at 0OhnSOn'S
store Saturday evening, he had pre-
sented at COnhaim's another similar
paper purporting to be issued in his
favor by Stack d MCGEE and calling for
$95. On this he obtained $40 in cloth
ing and the balance, less the usual dis
count on time checks, in bank draft.
The time check was discovered yester-
day to have been wholly written by
Smith. The amount actually due him
from Stack 81 MCGEE was paid early in
the day at the Office ofrHersey d Bean on
his presenting the original, genuine
time check issued at the camp. The
goods obtained at .Conhaim's and the
proceeds of the draft which he seems
to have had cashed at some store, are
mostly recovered. In Jail yesterday the
prisoner preferred TO have no recollec-
ton of his acts on the previous evening.
He has refused food, and announces his
immediate programme as suicide by
starvation. ......+..,--.

THE HORSES FROG.
A Means of Communication With
the Brain.

No horse can travel safely without the
use of the frog. Aside from its allies
sential necessity as the natural rest of
the bony structure upon the ground, its
expansion power in keeping the hoof
from contracting upon the inclosed
joints, and its promotion by its action of
circulation of blood to the extremity of
the hoof, and consequent growth. the
frog has a function always over
looked by the unrefecting, i'll that it
is the organ of touch. 1t is the
only part of the hoof that communi-
Gates with the nervous system, and
through that the BRAIN and it is there
fore the only means that the horse has
of accurately determining his foothold
upon the ground. In the common
method of shoeing the frog is taken out
of action by the thickness of the shoe,
and the horse is deprived of its use.
Upon no muscle in the body is he more
dependent for healthful, natural action.
and from tile moment the frog is dis
placed by the blacksmith's iron the
decay of the horses power begins. Con-
traction, quarter cracks, navicular dis
ease, inflammation, and, more trouble
some than all else, cOrns, usu1p the free
elasticity of nature, and the animal
commences his downward course.

The Sad Sequel to a Wedding in a

Philadelphia Times.
Bank Robber' and Thief Charles J..

She became enamOred of the jail-bird,
and after a short eourtship, was mar

Fat Stock Show.

The fat stock show is doing much to
educate feeders and breeders, but it is
conducted altogether in the interests of
butchers, and to the neglect of the in
terests of farmers, says a writer in the
Des Moines Register. A steer may be
the most symmetrical in. the show. the
plumpest, with beef on the prime parts,
and all that, like the one that took the
premium this year at Chicago. and only.
have gained 800 pounds in year, while
others that have gained twice that
amount may be passed over. Why give
a premium to an animal kept at dead
loss to his owner during the past year?
There should at least be premium to
the most thrifty steer, the one that
gained most. The steer that gained most
and put it on the prime parts on given
amount of feed is the most profitable
steer. The butcher only cares for teh
best killing steer, and is not interested
in what he ate or how slowly he gained.
The Sussex, Galloway and Highland
cattle will always excel as regard ex-
cellence of meat until they have been
kept long enough on our heavy grasses,
when they will become like the largest
breeds in that regard. 1t is perhaps
not to be expected that the Chicago
show will encourage anything but the
best butchers beast-that is one I'M
portant point. Our state societies can
i get at the facts regarding the most prof
liable steer by weighing the calves,
yearlingS and two-year-olds, then the
gain can be noted. Even then we could
! not tell which steer gained the most on
aTgiven diet. One may have fed corn
and grass. another may have added oil
meal, another oats, and still another
may have fed molasses. We would like
to see the breeds fairly tested on corn,
grass and hay by the experiment sta
tons. This would be valuable to the
masses. The herdsman is the deserv-
ing man at present. and we do not hear
how he does it. j. w.
