It is not safe to let colt suckle too
long mare that has been bred again
and that is safe in foal. Three or four
months is long enough for mare to be
taxed sucking a toal. Anything over
that time is at the expense Of the grow
ing fGtus. 1t is better for both mare
and fOal to feed little oats in addition
to pasture, and very good plan is to
run them together and wean the colt
alongside the mother.
A society for the prevention of giving
trOtterS and PAGERS OutlandlSh names
should be formed at once and tackled OH
to the American and National Trotting
associations. The makeup of many of
the compound names, as well as the
style of number of the original ones,
is enough to make a readers eye ache,
to say nothing of their ears, when the
starting Judge gets collar-and-elbOW
grip on them.
The fast horse is not always the great
race horse. Ability to repeat heats in
close order is the article that is wanted
in the trotting and pacing world. Speed
will win heats frequently. but with en-
durance as running mate IL brings the
money. A brushy horse is an admirable
article to parade, but very poor repre-
sentative when the company is fast and
the heats are split.
Don't start your horse off with cut
of the whip, says an old horseman.
Speak to him, and then, if he is slow,
touch him lightly a reminder. A few
lessons of this kind and he will be
prompt about getting away, but not too
hasty, as is apt to be the case If he has
been started with severe cut.
Electricity, 2:l7%, and Jay Eye See.
2:10, both out of Midnight, but by diff
ferent sires, represent the two extremes
of size in the American trotter. The
former is so big that his record is nine
day wonder on the Pacific slope, while
Jay Eye See is one OF the smallest trOt-
tiers ever on the turf.
George H. Brasfield, one of the most
noted of the old-time trotting-horse
drivers. died at Lexington, KY. Friday
evening. Among the noted horses he
drove were Lula, 2:l5; May Queen, 2:20;
Roslyn, 2:21, and the great Director in
2:1119. He was formerly the owner of
the latter horse.
Horses boarded at ClOverdale Stock
Farm, Lake Elmo. Good feed, care and
attendance, and paddocks for exercise.
Stock left at 965 East Seventh street,
corner of Fauquier, will be called for
and returned. Truman StrObridge. man.
ager. 1874 East Seventh street, st. Paul.
Time exhibitions have a kind of
value in determining the flight of speed
a horse may possess, but such honors
pale with sickly light before records
acquired by good game racehorseS that
are able to earn their honors OIL the field
of battle.
The market appears to be far from
supplied with coach horses Of the best
class. Coach horses, matched or other
wise, bring prices that pay well their
producer. 1t is from among the trOtterS
that the choicest in this line are now
obtained.
Such high class drivers of trotters as
Budd Doble, Gill Curry, john Splan,
Ed Bither, w. E. Weeks and Jack Feek
approve license system. Such breeders
as j. c. SiDley, W. r. Allen, c. J. Ham
lin and j. Malcolm Forbes also favor it.
Sure enough Miller S Sibley. of
Franklin, Pa, have engaged Marvin to
train for their farm, long known as the
Palo Alto of the East, and have leased
the Meadville (Pa.) kite track for him.
Marvin will come East with Sunol.
Horses boarded at Grasmere stock
farm. Single and box stalls. nice pad
docks. Good care and attention. For
terms and particulars call at ITO East
Third, st. Paul.
j. A. and A. H. Morris have paid
Boyle & Little $4,000 for a yearling
filly by Wagoner-Ha Ha Belle. She is
said to be wonder and is particularly
well engaged.
For versatility the stallion Mount Yer
non, by NuJwood, leads the world. At
the recent Stockton meeting he paced
mile in 2:3O. and an hour after trotted
mile in 1924.
Prince Wilkes. 2:14$l, the trottiug
champion of 1883, has broken down in
South America, and has been sold to
BuenoS Ayres liveryman for small
sum.
At the Easton sale at Lexington, KY.
Imported Loyalist, a full brother of
Paradox, brought $4,000 He was
bought by Gen. jackson, Of Tennessee.
Bob Bradley refused to sell the good
two-year-old Bitten, who has twice
beaten Vortex, to W. c. DAILY for $500
Either Orrin Hickok, John Goldsmith,
or Dick Havey will succeed Marvin as
the Palo Alto farm trainer.
