We had to kill between twenty and
thirty horses during the season on nc
count Of irreparable damage done to
them during the h%ippodrome races. As
they are turning the corners very often
the outside horse receives n blow from
the hub of the wheel of the chariot next
to it. This causes fracture or splitting
OF the fetlock, after which the horse is of
no further use. Neither Mr.. Barnum nor

animal in that condition, go directly a

taken out and shot. Thus, as | said,
about thirty horses were killed.-Mr.

A bad State of Affair.".

From all over the country come re-
ports of threatened foreclosures OF
mortgages on farm property. In Penn
sylvania many supposedly rich farmers
have failed because of the depreciation
in farm values. In Southern New
Jersey several hundred farms are be-
ing sold by the sheriff. As our. readers
know, reports from many parts of the
West are no better. What is to be
done? This country can not afford to
have its natiye-born farmers driven
from their farms to DO replaced by a
tenant peasantry. For number of
years past great mortgage and trust
companies have gradually secured a.
grasp on thousands of American farm
ers. When the present occupants of
these farms are driven away, who will
be secured to fill their places? No
true American can view this state Of
affairs without alarm. The present
condition of American agriculture de-
demand the prompt and careful atten-
ton Of our statesmen and business
men.-Rural New Yorker.

COOLING MILK.

~. - 49, s. q. H.. =
Something About tho Use .of Ammonia
ri Where Ice Can Not BE Obtained.
The chemist Of the Victorian Gov
ernment gives some interesting infor-
nation about cooling milk by the use
Of ammonia. ..+.s
In butter making-if uniformly high
quality butter is desired-as soon as
possible after milk comes from the
COW, the cream should be separated by
the centrifugal separator. Then i'm
mediately, and preparatory to churning,
the cream, If not already cool, should
be cooled down to temperature not
exceeding IS degrees Fahrenheit. The
main object of cooling is to harden the
fat globoles, so that, during the churn-
ing, they may fall together in firm
grains. The butter thus obtains q
granular" structure, rendering it more
thoroughly cleansable from the butter
milk; 1t also acquires waxy consist
ency, whereby its keeping qualities and
palatableness are improved. For cooling
the milk various appliances are in use.
Where the operations are on = fairly
large scale, small ice machine will be-
found most suitable and economical.
Ice machines capable of producing four
hundred pounds OF ice daily, at an esti-
mated cost Of six shillings per diem, are
now being placed on the Melbourne
market. Such machines could easily be
used on large farms, and would prob
ably be found we'll suited for district
milk and dairy factories. The cart
bringing the milk to these factories
could take back with them their daily
supply o. ice.
Where ice is not procurable and there
Is not sufficient supply of cold water
for cooling purposes, perhaps no SIM
pier and cheaper means can be adopted
than ''freezing mixtures" If CRYSTALS
OF ammOniac nitrate and chloride be
dissolved by gentle stirring in water, in
the following proportions: Six and two
thirds pounds ammoniac nitrate, three
and one-third pounds ammoniac ohio
ride, ten pounds Zone gallcn) of water,
the temperature of the mixture will
quickly fall 81 degrees Fahrenheit
Thus. if the temperature of the water
was originally IS degrees Fahrenheit, it
would, after solution of the salts, fall to
- degrees Fahrenheit or degrees be-
low freezing point. If long, narrow
tin containing such solution be stirred
about in cream can, it will in few
minutes reduce the cream to the re.
quired temperature. The cooling salts
having been once dissolved, may be re.
obtained for further use by evaporating
the solution to dryness. The evapora.
ton may be in open. shallow pans with
fire, or even the sun and hot wind nav

lengthwise. If fire be used for evapo.
ration, it should be gentle fire, and
the solution should not do more than
simmer. otherwise there may be loss

NEVER BETS ON HIS OWN HORSE.

They tell good story of man who has
q fondness for fast horses. A year or two
ago he had one that was said to be q "flyer,"
and marvellous stories were told of what she
had done, and was capable Of doing. But
an intimate friend noticed that the owner
of the wonderful horse never staked any
money on her.
"Why don't you back her for good,
round sum, il she can do what you claim
she can 7" he asked. "That would prove
that you had confidence in her, but as it
it is-"
"See here, my FRIEND" said the other,
with twinkle in his eye, "don't you know
me well enough to know that I'm too modest
to bet on my own nag, especially when feel
sure that she can't come out ahead 7"
When q man knows he can accomplish
what he undertakes, he doesn't feel too mod
est to say SO. When DR.. Pierce put his

funded" ON every bottle Of it, it proved

SWINE BREEDING.
The Unltad StAtes First Among All M.
.s< tlOns In This InduAtry.

The Unltad States First Among All M.
las tlons In This Induatry.
The United States stands easily first
among nations in the number OF its
swine. There has been some decrease
in the last few years, but the estimates
In the Department of Agriculture gave
the number. January l, 1888, at 4s,544,-
7ao. or nearly seventy-Ave for each 100
OF human population. This estimate
Is made out at . season Of the year when
the total number Is nearly at its mini
mum, as very large pert sntage Of the
pigs are produced in the spring months,
and vast numbers of fatten I'D hogs are
sent to slaughter during tho closing
months of the year. "
The abundant and cheap production
OF Indian corn is the controlling factor
IN pork production in the United States.
Thus the seven great corn-producing
States are estimated to have had, in
round numbers. 30, SOC, 900 hogs, or al
most half the total number, and an
average OF nearly 100000 for each
State. Their respective rank was, Iowa,
Missouri, Illinois, Ohio, Kansas, Indi-
ana and Nebraska. No other State had
s.000, 900 hogs save Texas, and the poor
quality OF these largely Offset the large
number.
The rapidity with which swine in
crease. says the Agricultural Depart
ment, the early age at which they may
be proftably be sent to market, the ease
with which the meat may be preserved
for future use, and the large Use made
Of the fat as also the abundance of
! maize so we'll adapted as fatteninR
food. have made swine breeding popular
in all the great Indian-corn-growing
| regions. while the readiness with which
one or more pigs may be utilized as
profitable means of consuming waste
products from the table and dairy have
caused farmers and many village resi-.
dents in almost every part Of the coun.
try to annually fatten at least few
pigs.

Chicken Manure.

The old idea that chicken manure is
4 complete" manure, suitable for all
crops seems to be losing favor with
good many gardeners. A notable in
stance of the new way of dealing with
this substance was given two weeks ago
in the account of the one-horse farm in
New Jersey. On this farm, it will be
remembered, the chicken manure was
used as the body of homemade fertil-
izer, dissolved bone-black, muriate of
potash and plaster being used to prop
erly balance the fertilizer and give it
the proper mechanical condition. We
hope to have more to say next week
about the proportions OF these sub.
stances used. The use of this home
made fertilizer saved the farmer over
500, which sum is supposed to equal
the cost of mixing and portion of the
nitrogen added to freight charges,
agents commission. manufacturers
profit, ETC., ETC., all of which were paid
for when complete fertilizers were
bought. Now is the time to consider
whether for your soil chicken manure is
a complete" or ''one-sided" fertilizer.
BY the way, ''stable manure" is sup
posed to be complete. Has it ever oc-
CURED to you that there may he almost
as wide proportionate difference be-
tween two samples of manure as there
is between ''low-grade" and ''high-
grade" fertilizer? Again, it the stable
manure Is complete your farm may be
so ''one-sided" that you need to add
something to the manure.-Rural New

contract calls for the sectionizing of all
the agricultural lands in the Milk
River Valley which are open for settle
