FEED COLTS WELL.
Taken Care of the First Year They
Afterwards Thrive.

If there is one thing more than any
other that breeders, both large and
small, should be impressed with, that
thing is feed the colts, says the Sport
ing Life. 1t is an old 'saw" that says
no food. no horse" and a new one
might be coined to read, ''no colt, no
horse" With equal applicability. In
this age we not only claim to he horse
men, but friends to the equine family,
and yet the number of colts that are
allowed to perish or become useless
from neglect in this country every year
would mount the kings cavalry"
We have known colts for which a ser
vice fee of from $50 to $500 had been
paid to be roughed through their first
winter (aS their lazy or careless owners
would say to make them hardy in such
a manner that they would not only
grow any, but would become so stunted
that they would either die toward spring
or would always be little scrawny things
that never bring the price of ser
vice fee; and it is remarkable what
faculty most men who winter their colts
in this condition have for laying this
scraWnineSS to the WOrthleSsneSS Of
the sire.
70 reach stage Of perfection and
usefulness at maturity, a colt should be
kept growing every day from birth to
maturity, and this can only be done
with healthy, nutritious food and plenty
of it. Many mares are poor suckers,
and when this is the case, the colt
should have an additional allowance of
cows milk, and be taught to eat oats,
shorts, bran, ETC., while quite young. 1t
is remarkable how young colt can be
taught to eat, and how we'll it will do on
the food Indicated.
All colts should be taught to relish
shelled oats. ship stuff" chopped
feed; etc, before weaving, and if given
this kind or other nutritious food in
proper quantities and with regularity
during the first winter a good growth
will be made; and, with plenty of grass
during the following summer, he will
be we'll grown before the second winter
comes on him. During the fl st winter
OF colts life Tor for that matter any
winter of Its life), the quantity of food
given is not near SO important as quail
ity and mode Of feeding.
1t has been noticed that some feeders
can get along with much less feed and
have their stock i'll much finer con-
ditiOn than others can: and this is be-
cause the former knows how to feed,
and it is as important to know how to
feed as it is to know what to feed. 1t
is not so much our object in this short
notice to teach how to feed and what to
feed as it is to impress upon the minds
of our readers the necessity of giving
attention to this subject at this partlcu-
lar season of the year. Rational thought
is the article sought for.

COURTSHIP, A. ID. 1000.
Bachelors Will BE Sad Fellows if
BeIiamy's Dream Comes True.

Edward Bellamy in Ladies Home journal.
While the unmarried woman Of the
year 1000. whether young or old, will
enjoy the dignity and independence of
the bachelor of today, the insolent
prosperity at present enjoyed by the
latter will have passed into salutary, if
sad, eclipse. No longer profiting by the
effect of the pressure of economic me-
ceSSity upon woman. to make him in
dispensabe. but dependent exclusively
upon his intrinsic attractions, instead OF
being able to assume the fastidious airs
of sultan surrounded by languishing
beauties, he will he for. innate if he
can secure by his merits the smiles
of one. In the year 1000 no man,
whether lover or husband, can hope to
win the favor of maid or wife, save by
desert. While the poet, justly appre-
hending the ideal proprletes, has al
ways persisted in representing man at
the feet of woman, woman has been, in
fact, the dependent and pensiOner of
man. Nationaism will jnstify the poet
and justify the eternal fitness of things
10y bringing him to his marrOwbones in
earnest. But. indeed, we may be sure
that III the year 2.C00 he will need no
compulsion TO assume that attitude.

THE BROOKLYN HANDICAP.
Eastern Horsemen Already Vigor-
ousIy Discussing 1t.


NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-I0rsemen are
predicting that the Brooklyn handicap,
which will inaugurate the legitimate
racing season in this state May ID at
Gravesend, will excite as much if not
more interest than the Suburban. The
reasons given are that the race is likely
from its value to attract the owners of
the best racers in the country and that
the advance betting will be much
heavier than usual. as there are many
bOOkmakerS who have both money and
time that they are not using to
advantage at present. The weights
that have been assigned to the
entries for the Brooklyn handicap will
be announced next week. ana the next
three months the public will have their
hands full picking the favorite. There
seems to be general belief that some
one of the really good three-year-old
colts of last year will carry off the prize.
Tournament, LisimOny, Rhono, Bur
lingtOn, Reclare, Judge Morrow, De-
muth and Banquet will have place in
the winter books. Tenny is the general
fayorite at the present time, and there
are many excellent judges of hOrSetlesh
who hold TO the opinion that nothing
will approach the son of RayOn dor in
either the Brooklyn or Suburban handi-
caps. All of the followers of the Pulsi-
fer fortune firmly believe Tenny will
capture anything he is started in next
season.
The fact that Tournament has never
developed his full speed in the early
part of the season leads many persons
to the conclusion that he will not be
able to meet Judge Morrow, Burlington,
and other cracks that developed so early
last season. While FirenZi will prob
ably be seen in the run in more than
one magnificent race during the season,
it is hardly likely that the great mare
will be put in training for any hard
race before the Suburban. Los Angeles,
the fleet mare that defeated the great
Hanover in the mud at Saratoga in 1889,
and the favorite of last year for the
Brooklyn handicap, seems to have
dropped back among the disappoint-
ments, for nothing is heard of her eX-
pectations for any Of the great races TO
come. In fact, mares have always been
considered as lacking the necessary
life and strength to stand bruisng
race in the months Of April, May and
June, and it is fact that the Brooklyn
handicap has never been won by a
mare,

ganized in Bellevue on June Goth, and
the names of its officers and mem bers
and its platform of principles were pub
llshed III the Clarion Of the 27th. Its
objects are thus stated:
This organization is for the purpose of try
ing 10 elevate our race, to make us better ci IL
zens, better husbands, better fathers and son ).
TO educate ourselves SO that we may be able to
Vote more lntelligently on questions that are Of
vital Importance to our people,
These are very commendable objects
and purposes indeed and these people
will soon have a fine chance to embrace
an excellent opportunity to foster and
further the education and elevation of
their race-we refer to the acceptance
of the offer of $4,000 additional for
the public schools. If that offer is ac-
cepted, their chances for carrying out
their announced purposes will be great
ly enhanced; while If it is foolishly re-
Jected, their progress will be no more
rapid in the future than it has been in
the past. If they go to the Clarion and
its friends for advice, however, they
will be told that in order to carry out
their purposes and educate their chill
dren, they must reject the very means
whereby it can be done! Such is the
logic of the ants
The platform or declaration of prin-
clples goes on to say that they feel that
this organization is the only thing that
will give them protection for their la
bor and crops" This is mistake. We |
have number of well paid officials
whose duty it is to give them all neces-
sary protection, whether. they organize
as farmers Or not. And if for any rea-
son these officials cannot or will not af-
-ord them prompt and adequate protec-
ion, the great body of the law abiding
people will, as they did some two years
'go, come to their assistance, organize
themselves into Law and Order Lea
'ues, and uphold and strengthen the
lands of the ministers Of the law, and
ut down lawlessness, as they did on
hat occasion.
