COLT RAISED BY HAND.
One Mans Experience in Doing
the Trick.

the TICK.
In the case of colt only three weeks
old which it was found necessary to
raise by hand, fresh cows milk was fed,
at first diluted about One-fOurth with
water and sweetened at the rate of one
tablespoonful of sugar to the quart of
milk. 1t was difficult to get the little
fellow started to drinking, or rather it
was started 10 sucking, for the finger
was used during the first month. In
two or three days however, he took the
milk with a relish, and for the first
couple of weeks was fed at 4:30 and
10 a. m, and 1890, 3, 6, and p. m,
pint or less being given at the start.
This amount was gradually increased
and the number of meals cut down in
proportion, until at the end of month
only three meals day were given. The
little fellow soon began to eat oats and
was given all he wanted from the start,
with little oilmeal added. The milk
was not diluted or Sweetened after the
first month. After it got used to its new
diet this colt grew right along, and is as
good a colt as ally of the others of same
age that sucked. The colt did nicely and
seemed healthy all the time, the oil
meal fed having the same effect as flax
seed. He almost got into the disgusting
habit of sucking wind before | noticed

FORCE OF HEREDITY
Type and Formation Important
to Watch

A developed trotter that has shown
he is strongly trotting-bred in his own
performance and that of his get. is
worth many shekelS more than he of
the purple robe that has never been de-
velOped and depends for patronage on
the bone and sinew of his far-away an
cestOrs. While the force of heredity
may be weaker than many breeders are
willing to admit. yet il has a close and
direct relation to the profits of the horse
breeder. 1t is well to remember that
source Of strength in repetition. If the
growing prevalence of hereditary dis
ease Is to be checked, a refusal to
patronlZe any horse or use any mare so
afflicted is demanded Of all.
Type is undoubtedly one of the most
hereditary fixtures of animal life. The
narrow knee, the straight pastern. the
hook with weak foundation and little
breadth is more to be stunned than the
disease given birth to by them. A horse
may be spawned and yet be fit for
breeding purposes provided the hook is
constructed on right principles. On a
properly built hook such disease could
only originate through severe acct
dent. Shun the horses with small knees,
for splintS arise therefrOm, avoid those
with straight, short paSternS, for the
triple diseases, Sidebone, ringbone and
Davicular diseases originate with them
and, above all things, pass by the spongy
and gross or extremely narrow and
crooked hooks, tor such rarely fail TO
give birth to curbS, bog and bone SpaVins.

DeImarch's Record.

Delmarch, though not lit with Aller-
ton, is really a very good horse. He is
the fastest stallion that Budd DOble ever
drove. He also won the fastest heat ever
won in race by any stallion when he
made his record. 1t is also the fastest
heat ever trotted in a race on an oval
track, and ties the fastest heat ever
trOtted in race by any horse. His three
heats were 2:1614. 2:1414 and 2:12, aver
age time being 2:1414, which is the fast
est average for any race ever won by a
stallion, as it is a second faster than
CharlestOn's great aver ge at indie

2:214, being by that horse. The modest
figure at which, according to report, he

No Foot. No Horse.

Mayhem, well known writer on the
horse, refuses to allow that the body of
the horse was made stronger than the
legs and feet. In his belief it is among
the foremost physiological truths that
nature is a strict economist, and that
man has for ages labored to dSarrange
parts thus admirably adjusted. No in

can be conceived which barbarity has
not inflicted Oh the most generous of
many willing slaves" The horses hoof
is porous, and hOof OintmentS answer to
cement plastered on a wall They pre-
vent the internal moisture from reach

material, and horse cannot be best

A GREAT CHANGE.
Rapid Strides Made in Trotting
Horse Business.

To realize the great change in the
business of breeding trotters one has
but to turn few pages of memory and
go back only five or six years. Then
$1,000 was considered big price for a
gilt-edged yOungSter. Bell Boy, 2:194,
and Sphinx, 1921, cost only these fig
ures, and when Mr.. Hamlin gave S12,-
500 for Chimes it created sensation in
the trotting world. Since then Bell
Boy has sold at price represented to
be over $4,000, and this sum would
not tempt the owners of Sphinx
or Chimes to become sellers. Sphinx
has demonstrated not only that he i'm
parts speed, but that his own limit of
speed has not been apprOac he'd. After
letup of three years he has again been
placed in training. and at Independence
recently Mr.. Sutherland Zone of his
ownerS) drove him to record of 2:2l.
He will undoubtedly beat 2:20 before
being returned to Michigan. His son.
Gift O'Near, two years, has chopped Off
a part of second from his record, and
it now STANDS at :24$4. Bell Onward,
two years. by st. Bell, 2:2412. trotted to
a record Of2:23. Three years ago, when
AXtell made 4 two-year-Old record of
2:23, it was considered a wonderful
achievement. Now, it scarcely creates
a ripple of excitement. Surely the trot-
ting world do move"

records of $40 or better. The list is
headed by the PAGER Little Brown jug,
2:11I. Then comes Adele Gould, who
has trotting record of 2:19. The two
year-Old record is 2:4S15. the three-year-
old record 2:34, and the four-year-old
record 2:324.
The first important three-year-old
event of 1892 is the Tennessee Derby,
to be run at the Memphis spring meet
ing. which begins April II. Among the
entries are Huron, Lew Weir. Mariner,
Tom Paxton, Tom Elliot, Powers. Chief
Justice, Wightman, Bloodhound, Cor
man and Phil Dwyer. Oe the lot, Huron
mas shown best in his twO-yeaT-Old form.
Is it not time that this "cOld blood
foolishneSs" upon the part of the breed
ers of trOtters should be abandoned?
While the capacity for superior trotting
action is hereditary, early maturity and
sustained extreme speed, the most profit
able characteristics of the trotter, have
come from 4 wise use of fOur-mile run

A prominent Kentucky breeder, who
is partial to the pacing gait, has hit on a
sure plan to make a colt pace His in

book for trotteTs in Great Britain,
which will be published by the Trot-
ting Union of Great Britain in connec-
ton with the racing calendar of the

The merit of FrOu Frou's record of

FOUR HASTINGS VICTIMS.
Sad Funeral of a Quartette Who

New YORK. Dec. 27.-The funerals of
Mrs. a. NJ. Baldwin, DR.. E. Best and
the Misses Libbie Van Arsdale and
Mabel SlOcum, victims of the Christmas
eve New York Central disaster at Hast

neral of Mrs. Baldwin, at her late home,
II East Eighty-fifth street, was largely
attended. Rev. DR.. Macarthur and Rev.
Mr.. Willis officiated. During the obse-
quies Mrs. Baldwin's son, Homer. who
was in the accident, became greatly
affected, and at last his mind
gave way and it became neees-
Sary to take him from the
room. 1t is feared that he has utterly
lost his reason. Rev. Phillips Bartlett,
warm personal friend of DR.. Best.
conducted his funeral at his late res
idence, 244 LenOX avenue. The floral
offerings were prOfuSe. The remains
were taken to Pulaski, n. Y, for bur-
ial. Rev. John }. Reed, pastor of the
BEDFORD Street church, and Rev. Mr..

small horse. Of George Wilkes sons
Red Wilkes, Onward and Wilkes Boy
are large, while Alcyone, Alcantara,
Wilton and Lumps are small. Guy
Wilkes and Jay Bird are of medium

the size of a sire seems to have as little
to do with his capacity to sire speed as
his conformation does. BY intelligent
crossing irregularity in size is being
gradually overcome, the chief aim of

duce size without beefness. and visit

Al Hugg, of the Camden On. j. court,
fined A. c. Holt, the proprietor of an adj
vertising weekly, 81, 900 to-day and sent
him to Jail until the fine is paid. Under
the Jersey law the judge can keep Holt
in Jail just so long as he desires. Judge
Hugg has been the legal adviser of Billy
Thompson, the owner of the Gloucester

termed the thirteenth juror in the case
when Thompson was tried and acquitted
last week for maintaining race track
uader the diSOrderly house act. Judge

criticised him in his paper. Counsel
for Holt offered to prove the truth of the
charges. In a speech from the bench
Judge Hugg said: Public opinion is
not law. 1t is frequently anarchy.
When judges are corrupt the people
have their remedy. A public meeting
called by irresponsible, self-cOnstituted
and lawless bodies is not such q tribu-
nal recognized by law for the trial of
Judges and off GERS of the courts of JUS
tice; neither is the press the proper
Judge to sit on the trial and in cOndem-
nation OF the judges. Bodies called to-
gether by vindictive and ambitious
lawyers and political clergymen who
trail their clerical robes i'll the mire are
ill-behaved, riOtous and incendiary as

MONTREAL LOTrERY-MAD.
Everybody Gambling in the Cana
dian CITY.


MONTREAL, Que, Dec. 27.-The Sc
curing by the customs authorities re-
Gently of batch of Louisiana or Next
can lottery tickets has brought the lot
terry business into the greatest prOmI-'
nence before all citizens. The fact is
that MontrearS middle and lower
classes have gone mad over lotteries,
and although Catholic and Protestant
clergymen thunder Sunday after Sun
day against the generally recognized
abuse the institutions still flourish
here. For year or more public lot
terry has been in full blast on one of the
principal streets, and the announcement
that poor man from Nova Scotia
had drawn $4,000, some one on
the Upper Ottawa a similar amount
later on, to lie shortly followed by
third, who had gone to bed driver of
milk cart and awOke pOSSeSSOr of a
round 10000, set people wild over the
popular craze. The lottery question is
as warmly debated nowadays in certain
portions of the city and province as is
the dismissal of Mercler and his govern
ment by the lieutenant governor. For
merly if a woman saved dollar out of
her husbands scauty wages she placed
it in the savings bank, but now the poor
creature buys quarter lottery ticket,
and in ninety-nine cases out of hun
dred that is the last she hears of her
hard-earned money. Some good soul
invented little bank known as the

their dimes, but the business was soon

To Cure Horse Collie.

The disease known as horse collie, so
frequently fatal in horses, or, if not so,
is made fatal by administering all the
denominations of a drug store, can be
cured. if taken in time, by simple means
without any medicine. says a prOmi-
nent veterinarian. Get the horse down
on his side, let some one hold his head
down so that it cannot rise, then with
the doubled up fists knead the bowels
between the hips and lower ribs as you
would a mass of dough. Knead vigor-
ously. The animal will quickly show
its appreciation of the kindness by lying
perfectly still. The wind will pass in a
few moments, and then the worst is
over.

Two Kinds of Trotters.

There are two distinct classes of trot-
ting horses; one is bred for speed re-
CARELESS of style, the other for style
combined with fair share of speed.
The one Chassis bred for the race course.
the other for the road. 1t is that the
breeding is done with an eye to the pro-
duction of trotters mainly, and that
when the horses grow up they are put
to the service for which they are best
fitted. There is no such thing as breed
ing for speed regardless of style. 1t is
speed first and style afterward, unless a

Pacing Bred Sires.

1t is not likely that strictly pacing
bred horses will in future cut much
figure as sires of PAGERS, because the
trotting bred and trotting stations are
furnishing enough PAGERS each season
to measurably supply the demand, and
as long as frst-class side wheelers can
he secured that are by well-bred trot-
ting sires the ones that are by pacing

unless their performances make them
particularly valuable, as is the case
with certain members of the Tom Hal
family, which strain of pacing blood is
