special OF yesterday, reviewing the opin-

Hill, says:
Dir Gable who did not leave the Springer
speakership ranks until satisfied that
Sprir ger could not win, fully agreed with
Sprin9er's statement that the action of
the Albany convention had made the
consideration of Cleveland's name impos-
sible. He said: The only way that
Mr.. Cleveland could be considered at
Chicago would be to have the New York
delegation present his name, and that APP
pears 10 be ouC of the question since the
Albany conven ton. Even if another con-
vention is held in New York I am salts.
fed that the delegates selected last Mon
day will be recognized at Chicago as the
regular New York delegation. Under
these circumstanc Mr. .Cleveland'e name
could not be presented from his own
state, and it certainly would not be right
to have it presented from any other

The Labor Fair.

There was large attendance at the In
dustrial fair in Armory hall last evening
The programme consisted of an instru-
mental concert bv Bleutr's orchestra that
was of very pleasing character. 1t was
originally intended to close the fair this
evening, but as there has been free en-
tertainment elsewhere nearly every night
this week, besides q number OF other at
fractions here and in Davenport, it has
been decided to hold the fair over one
more evening in order that all may have
an opportunity to contribute toward the
advancement of the project. 1t should
have good attendance tonight and Mons

Dreaming Experiments.

The following are some conclusions
reached by the Wisconsin experiment
station
1. In skimming by the Cooley sys-
tenn, the syphon should be set so as to
leave at least one inch of skim milk with
the cream.
2. The efficiency of Dreaming by deep
setting is greatly influenced by tie
character of the h I'd, the milk from
some other herds, under the same condi-
tions, creams poorly. This diff renee
may amount to as much as one pound of
butter per 100 pounds of milk.
3 Delay in setting may cause con-
siderable loss with the milk from some
herds and scarcely any with that of
others. TO avoid the possibility of such
loss it is recommended that milk be set
as soon as possible after milking.
a. Deep setting without ice under the
most favorable conditions results in con-
siderable loss, and here the water used
is not lower than 80 degrees f. the loss
is excessive. reaching in some cases as
much as 25 per cent of the total fat in
the milk.
5. The centrifugal system of separa-
ting cream overcomes all of these diff.
cullies, giving an Efficient Dreaming with
milk from all sources, either directly
after milking or after standing several
hours.
6. The Baby Separator No. 2 may be
used with advantage with herds of from
10 to 20 cows.

What with the American Trotting
Register, the National Stud book and
the New England Breeders Stud book,
the registration of trotting stock will
become pretty well confused.
Because bright timothy hay and oats
are the best feed for horses it does not
follow that they would not like change
from it sometimes, or that they would
not do betterfor such a change. a
1t is estimated that fully 10000 ,O0C
pounds of sugar were produced in New
England in 1891, Vermont's production
alone ing 1900 900 pounds. Probably
the home market took one-half of this
amount.
All the stuff about the loss of cream il
you don't use a separator. reads very
much like paid advertisements for the
separator or for the patent medicine that
cures all ills, and call you fool if you
ever get sick.
"Look before you leap is good old
adage. The farmer should make Io
radical changes in his farming until he
has considered the matter thoroughly
and made up his mind that the change
win be an improvement.
The American Trotting Register asso.
ciation made a big mistake when it do.
cided to admit PAGERS to standard with
trotters. There is no doubt about that
Then let the association reclify the mis-.
take as quickly as possible. and end ths
howl that continues TO go up day by dav
in the ranks of breeders. PAGERS are en-
titled to regis ration in the standard
but that standard should be restrictt d to
animals of their gate, it has no proper
place among the trotting breed. All the
theories 10 the world will not convince
the public of that.

but portion only, substituting therefor
bran, middlings, milk and clover cut fine
and scalded-will have his hogs larger,
heavier, healthier, and of better quail
ity of flesh than from corn. While Civ
ing the advantages OF systematic
method of feeding for the best results in
producing the heaviest pork, the fact
that prime lard brings a price that make $
it desirable on the part of the farmer to
have his hogs fat, 1t must be admitted
that it is serious obstacle in the way
when lean meat is advocated, but the
lean is simply interspersed with the fat,
and the greater increase from the variety
of food does not diminish the supply OF
lard. The farmer will find that In those
portions of the carcass from which the
lard is produced, but little difference will
be observed, and the hog will be much
more valuable as a whole.

Horse News From Connecticut.
american Horse Breeder

Horse news is rather "skeerce" at
present, but take pleasure in noticing
that many of our prominent stations are
fast finding a place in your advertising
columns. When our breeders can secure
the services of such horses as Stamnal
(trial 2 25), by Stamboul (2.lD. and
Alcyo, with race record of 1874. by
Alcyone, for $50, it looks as If the own
ers of "scrub" stations would have to
find new occupations for their charges {;
and there are hundreds of them, to my
way of thinking, that should be cas-
trated at once and put to work.
During the past year | have heard
many bitter complaints from owners of
valuable brood mares tha5 were sent
away to stock farms to be bred, and, ac-
cording to the old saying, "where there
is so much smoke there must be some
fire." | dislike 10 say it, but there are
parties not a thousand miles from here
that have returned brood mares in very
shabby condition, and knowing their
owners are men that would spare no eX-
pepse to have their valuable animals
well cared for, it is to be deplored that
the ''skin 'em" all around policy should
be continued. | could give some facts in
regard to above, but let us hope that this
short-sighted practice will be stopped.
E. S. Kilby has number of good
ones, the bay g lding Prince being the
speediest one, and he is not only fast, but
a good all around horse for any pur-
pose.
The New Britain Park association at
the time they built their track purchased
from the heirs of Charles Blakeslee his
farm, and l beg to say here that wish
this respected gentleman had been spared
to have seen the nice track and buildings
that were placed on his farm. He would
have been justly proud of them.
