STATISTICS

In the census bureau bulletin on irriga-
ton in Wyoming, Superintendent Porter
says: This bulletin, the fourth of the
series devoted to irrigation in the ard
states and territories, has been prepared
by Mr.. f. Ii. Newell, special agent OF the
census office for the collection of statistics
of irrigation, under the direction of Mr..
John Hyde, special agent in charge OF the
division Of agriculture, and relates
to the state of Wyoming, in which
there are 1877 farms that
are irrigated out of a total
number of 3.246. The total area of land
in these ! ,9l7 farms is 1905, $50 acres,
Upon 229,67 acres OF which crops were
raised by irrigation in the year 1889. In
addition to the irrigated area from which
crops were cut or gathered, there were ap-
proxlmately $40, 900 acres irrigated for
grazing purposes. The average size Of
the irrigated farms, or, more strictly, Of
irrigated portions Of farms on which crops
were raised, is 1l9 acres. The average first
cost Of water right is 50. 60 per acre,
and the average cost of preparing the sol
for cultivation, including the purchase
price of the land, is 50. AS per acre. Tn,

The past week has been an unusually

TIE WYOMING BUILDING.

Prot. Mead, III speaking of Senator
Kabis' letter from Chicago regarding the
Wyoming state building at the worlds
lair, says that the senator is evidently un-
der a misapprehension of the purposes of
the building. The worlds fair commits
s%ioners, when they first went to Chicago,
had Prof. Mead make a careful c~alcula-
ton as to the probable amount of space
which the state would require to make an
adequate exhibit of its resources When
this was submitted to the directors of the
worlds fair, the Wyoming commissioners
we're informed that no space would be al
lottei in the main building for state ex-
hibits. This space would go to individual
exhibitors and would then be classified
into states, but in no other way. 1t then
struck the commissioners that after all
this might not work to the detriment Of
Wyoming. This state is peculiarly re-
markable for the diversity OF its mineral
resources, pretty nearly the whole range
of known minerals heing included in the
the list found here. Therefore. as the
purpose was not to advertise individuals
but the state at large, the object could
best be reached BY a compact exhibition
under a single roof, IN which the re-
markable diversity would be no.
ticeable at glance and would
therefore leave a stronger impression on
the mind of the individul sightseer than
any other plan which could be suggested.
Besides this the individual building sets
out Wyoming as a distinct entity. 1t
furnishes a headquarters for the people
of the state, a particular spot in the vast
labyrinth OF buildings in which the Wis
itor from Wyoming would be at home,
where he might make appointments to
meet friends, either on business or So
cially, where be could find all the state
news and newspapers and from which
could be distributed to inauirers literature
bearing upon the resources of the state.
Il will be seen that the fair commis-
%s!oners have some really strong arguments
in favor Of the plan which they have de-
cided to carry out. We understand that
the directors have decided against a con-
bination of states in the construction of
john bulldogs and are therefore now in
clined to believe that the individual build
ing is the next best thing. The cost OF
the Wyoming building will be $40. 900,
the minimum amount fixed by the worlds
fair managers.

horses for a longer period, probably,
than any other man In the West, and
has bred and owned many of the great
est celebrities Of the track and stud.
As a hOrseman his name will be famil-
iarly associated with that Of the great
stallion Mambrino Patchen, his favorite
animal. Mambrino Patchen was bred
by DR.. Herr and owned by him most OF
his life, having been foaled and dying
his property. He once sold and repur-
chased him. The horse, through his pro-
geny, has become one of the most noted
In turf history. DR.. Herr also bred
Mambrino King, that is by many re-
garded as the handsomest trotting stall
lion in the world, as we'll as great sire
of trotters. A large number OF the best
sons OF Mambrino Patchen were bred by
DR.. Herr, as well as other horses Of dis
tinction. DR.. Herr was born in Ian
caster county, Pa, January 13, 1916.
In 1914 DR.. Herr moved to Paris, KY.
His education was confined to the plain
English branches. At an early age he
manifested love for horses, and took
great pleasure in the treatment OF their
ailments. There being no veterinary
college In this country, he sent to Eu-
rope for books and instruments to enable
him to attain the highest proficiency In
treating the diseases OF animals. His
labors were rewarded with success, and
his services were in constant demand.
In 1852 he purchased three hundred
acres Of land near this city, which he
named Forest Park, where he has ever
since resided. Here he established
fine breeding farm and made a speciality
Of training horses for speed. He has
brought out some celebrated horses,
among which may be mentioned Lady
Thorn, Roanoke, Mambrino, Pilot, Ma
tive American, Lady Stout, Mambrino
Kate, Kate Patchen, Mambrino Gift,
and many others. He was also owner
OF the famous Allandorf, sold few years
ago for $4,000. His first horse Of note
was P. Bleanis, for which DR.. Herr re-
ceived s., 900 at private sale, after which
followed the sale Of Native American at
ST, 500, and Lady Thorn at $4,000.
She was afterward sold at $4,000,
and is to-day considered one Of the
greatest trotters that ever lived. DR..
Herr sold the stallion Mambrino
Pilot to Mr.. Relf, Of Pennsylvania, for
$4,000. 1t was q fortunate purchase
for Mr.. Relf, as be afterward became
greatly distinguished in the stud as the
sire Of Hannis, Mambrino Gift and 9th
ers. He then sold BERTHE Boy to Mr..
Bonner for $40, 900 as three-year-old,
and Lady Stout as a five-year-old for
S., 900 to Mr.. Permission, from whom
Mr.. Bonner afterward bought her for
$4,000. In 1875 he sold Mambrino
King to Mr.. Hamlin for $4,000 and Won
Arnim, who was sold to Commodore
Kittson, was also partly owned by the
Doctor. His best sales in the last three
or four years have been Strong Boy to
Virginia parties ;or S., 900; Allandorf to
Mr.. France for 100000.
