Don't speak TO your horse louder

him,-a horse with brains cont like
to be talked to like prize fighter.
DR.. Sparks has grown into an ele-
giant tive-year-old stallion and is
taking his work better and stronger
than ever, and will be one of the
fastest stations of his age out this
year.
Don't hurry; don't fret in training.
If you can't spare the time to-day to
break your colt he can wait. If you
try too much in a hurry you will
break his disposition as well as your
owA temper.
New York Central, 2:174, the ex-
cessive -actioned son of Simmons, will
be shod with aluminium plates this
year. The set of four shoes will
weigh only eight ounces.
G. w. Williams says he has recon-
sidered his determination not to trot
Allerton at any place but Indepcn-
dence and would probably accept one

A dispatch from La Crosse says;

to VIM. Sherrick, of Pennsville, Pa. fol
$4,000. Dandy was bought two years
ago for $1,000, and last year cleared

Flora Temple pulled sulkey that

She never wore quarter boot as there
was none ON the market. w. II. Van
Colt said one day that she would have
trotted in 2, ID, or better, if she had Q
pair of elbow and quarter boots.
The poor breeder has no reason tc
get discouraged. Allerton, Axteli
Ralph Wilkes and Alcantara were
bred, with one exception, by poor
men, two OF them were doctors, YET
they represent value to-day of moi
far from 100000.
Breeders who cannot afford TO buy
high priced stock can console them
selves with The reflection that the dams
of many of the fastest horses in the
world have been low-priced mares
Oliver X. was sold with his dam fol
$3.50 Jacks dam sold for $75 Nc
Doel's for $40 Allerton's for 5000
Axtell's dam cost $3.50, and the lis

dreds.

This tilly has been talked of in con,
nection with bringing the yearline
record 10 Kentucky this fall.
1t is difficult to predict what g
yearling will or will not do six months
away, but her gait in the pasture un,
shod is so perfect and frictionless, YET
rapid, that The ought to be knocking
at the door for 30 Ionors before thf
year is over.
