A RACING JOKE.
sharpers Beat the Bookmakers at Cincln
malta Slick Trick.


CINCINNATI, o., September THE
whole racing world is agog tonight in
this quarter of Ohio and Kentucky
about bold and successful wringer
game that was played on the public
In general and the book
makers in particular, in the
second race at Latonia to-day. Neither
tho judges, the book-makers, nor the
general public realized how beautifully
they were Swindled until near the close
of the days racing. 1t was at o'clock
on Saturday evening that fine bay
horse was entered at Latonia for
tho second race to-day, which
wrs for maidens three-year-old and
upwards. The name given was Polk
Badgett, Stony Creek stables, eight
years old. In the pools she started at
30 to l, but the buying was so hot and
heavy that he backed down till the post
odds became 3 and TO /. He literally
ran away from the field in the home
stretch and won by ten lengths.
The plunging bets on him were
quickly cashed and the horse
and owners disappeared without
calling for the $500 purse he won. The
bookmakers admit a loss altogeth Of
$4,000. 1t is supposed that a gang
were engaged in it, and a man was
stationed at each stand to bet heavily
on the mystery. No trace of horse or
owners can be found tonight. 1t IS
surmised here that the horse was a pur-
chase from the Rancocas stable, but
mystery envelopes the whole affair.

PARKKRsBURG, w. VA, September 7.
The Little Kanawha Transportation
Company, owners OF the steamer Hilton,
has closed the purchase of the steamer
Oneida, an opposition boat. The Oneida
is laid up at this point. 1t is understood
that the company will put the Oneida
back in the trade after the completion
of the new government dam above Burn
ing Springs. This dam will give
twelve miles more OF navigation
water, making too long stretch for
the packets to make round trips daily.
They will be run, 1t is said, in tri
weekly trips, making one fare daily to
and from the head Of navigation as it
will be when the dam is completed. The
additional territory will, it is believed
add greatly to the steam boat trade.

A CHILLY HOLIDAY.
Chicago Toilers Parade and Engage In
Athletic Games.

CHICAGO, September Labor Day
was very generally observed in this city,
the banks, Board Of Trade, business
houses, Courts and municipal offices
being closed.
The day was bright, but rather cool
for outdoor pleasure, except of the ac-
tive sort. This morning there was
general parade of the labor organiza-
tions of the city, whose members
marched through the streets with wav-
ing banners and suitable devices and
notices.
After the parade the various organi-
cations proceeded to the parks outside
of the the city, where they spent the
remainder of the day in athletic games,
dancing and speech making. There
were parades and picnics also in some
Of the larger manufacturing suburbs.

Two parades were the principal events

MILKING.

A hint, drawn from practical ex-
perience, as to milking a somewhat
fidgety fresh cow appears in Rural
Life"
Her udder is full, large and dis
tended to the utmost. She fills Is
quart pail She is not mean, is not
accustomed to kick; but under pres
sure of one hand she throws up her
feet, steps around and makes it un-
comfortable and hard for the mixer.
This man squeezes the teats too hard
and pulls down on them at the same
time, thus irritating the udder. An
other man sits down to the same
COW. She stands quietly, moving
only slightly. Knowing the condi-
ton and sensitiveness OF the distend-
ed udder, he begins milking slowly,
squeezes the teats carefully, keeping
an eye on her legs, thus discovering
any uneasiness quickly and diminish
ing the pressure on the teats and per-
haps ceasing to milk for an instant.
Her foot is on the floor, she is easy
and he begins again. In a short
time. ten seconds perhaps, he can
milk faster, squeeze harder and not
irritate the cow any more. In less
than minute the COW gives evidence
that she is made comfortable by the
process"

ABANDONED FARMS.

Speaking of abandoned farms re-
minds US of a farmer whom we knew
a few years ago, who had hard
struggle to get living on farm of
800 acres. At last he sold about
one-half of it, and invested part of
the capital in needed improvements
upon the remainder. In three years
he was keeping more stock, and
growing better crops upon the half
than he ever did upon the whole.
Since then he has sold or given about
so acres to one of his sons, without
reducing his stock kept or his profits,
while it is said that the son is doing
better on the so acres than the faith
er upon the 100 acres he has left. Or
course the extra capital helped, but
the main thing has been the concen
tration Of manure and labor upon a
smaller area, and the production of
better crops. If he had given away
two-thirds of his farm thirty years
ago. or could have abandoned it
without having to pay taxes upon
it, he would have been better off than
he is today. Having so much to
look after. nothing was done thor
oughly or well.-[ American Guilt

POOR COLTS.

In a recent issue the HOrseman ad-
vises it's readers who are keeping
colts to weed out the poorer ones
those which don't handle their feet
right, those which have long backs,
crooked legs, bad dispositions, or
any other defects, and thus elevate
This is good advice, and it never was
needed more than it is at the present
time. There has been, for many
years, large number Of poor colts
which were growing up into poor
horses. The demand for horses has
been SO great that this stock has
been sold, but in many, perhaps in
most, cases the prices which it has
brought have been very low. But Of
late many buyers have been demand
ing better horses, and the largely in
creased use of steam and electricity
has reduced the number of horses re-
quired for the purposes which a low
grade of animals could serve. This
change is still going on, and is stead
lily increasing. There is no danger
that really good horses will be long
in want of buyers, but it is certain
that the demand for poor horses will
continue to decrease. Consequently,
the men who are raising horses will
serve their own interests, and do
good thing for their patrons, by TAX
ing special care in the selection of
their breeding stock and by prompt
ly wedding out all the colts which in
any important respect are inferior

SYSTEM IN POULTRY MANA GE- 4
MENT.

Into whatever business man may
enter, much depends on management.
This fact is too much neglected, and
is, in many cases, the only reason for
failure. Some people do not possess
natural inclination to SyStema tie
their work, but every man can,
doubtless, school himself to conduct
all his work after an approved meth
cd. The man that goes on method
can look back at any time and see
Just what he has done and what the
results have been; while the I'M
methodical man knows that he has
been doing something, but how much
or what, he is unable to state def
nitely, and seldom knows on what
particular rock his venture has come
to grief.
We know of no business in which
method is more needed than in the
keeping of poultry. The flock that
gets its food at any hour and in any
shape that circumstances may order
will hardly do even moderately we'll.
Such flock is very liable to be fed
on some food not relished by it day
after dav, and when it refuses to eat
all the unpalatable food up clean,
have it's rations cut down. We know
of a man that thought he had struck
a good feed for his poultry when he
had access to a large quantity of
rye, which he could obtain at a little
cost. He fed his hens on it day after
day, and as, after the first feeding.
the fowls began to leave some, he
kept cutting down the quantity fed.
In short time few OF the weaker
fowls concluded that death was no
worse than such trea tment, and took
the alternative of dying. The owner
then awoke to the realiza ton that
his fowls would starve to death on
rye.
A part of the system of the poultry
raiser should be to have a settled
order of feeding with settled list of
all the foods to be fed and the time
of the feeding of those rations, regu-
lating them by the seasons and the
objects for which the fowls are being
developed. This system will greatly
benefit the fowls and increase their
vitality, enabling them not only to
resist disease and vermin, but to pro-
duce either flesh or eggs.-[The Farm

it is not at all difficult to account
for rundown and abandoned ones.
They are like a bank account when
