There has been an erroneous
statement, made by nearly all the
turf papers, that Alcantara Is the
leading sire of 1890, with twenty-one
new 2:30 performers. 1t Is not so, IoT
he has only twenty, as the record
given to Aleantara, Jr. is only bar
and not a record. 1t was made over
a track $50 yards short at country
place called st. Polycarpe, Quebec,
and is consequently not record.
Saws California writer:
"Homestake's performances were al
most apochryphal; Margaret s. was a
romance of four legs, and Manager
was a side-wheel poem"
j. II. Wallace says: the more
we ponder over the greatness o.
George Wilkes the greater he APP
pears. He is the Shakespeare OF the
equine race"
When Robert Bonner began driv-
ing horses in 1856, as pastlme and
to recuperate his health, there were
not twenty horses in the whole coun-
try eligible to the 2:S0 list, and there
was not even one in the 2;O list, or
anywhere near il. Think OF the
strides that have been made since
then. During 1890 nearly 1000
horses were added to the 2:30 list.

Have the manure picked out OF
the colts feet clean every day before
they leave their stalls, then let them
run i'm the snow a short time, If there
is any in the yard. This will prevent
thrush.
"A good brood SOW ought to bring
two good litters of pigs each year
One in the early spring and the other
early ia the fall.
Every animal of the horse kind
should be comfortably bedded every
night during the winter. 1t is better
to feed a smaller ration of grain and
give animals a comfortable bed, than
to feed more literally and compel
them to lie on hard floor wet from
fIth.
The men who raise good grade
draft or coach horses that sell at good
round prices,are seldom heard COM
planning of hard times. 1t is the
farmers who try to save few dollars
on service fees by breeding to cheap
and inferior stations, and as conse-
quence raise only such horses as
bring low prices or will not sell at
all. who are generally finding fault
with the times.-NationdI Horse

With the large increase of acreage
being brought into cultivation in sew
eraI different sections of Colorado,
there is a call for horses in the farm
ing localities ahead of anything
known since farming has been car
ried on extensively. Everywhere our
