WE have for long asserted what a
horse writer in the Mirror and Farmer
now frankly admits, that "no matter
what wise and good men may write and
say, racing cannot exist without the rev.
enue from the betting ring" And this
fact alone should exclude racing from
the agricultural exhibitions of the coun-
try. Most states have statutes forbid
ding horse gambling; but in few or
none are these laws enforced. The
same writer adds: " What is wanted on
the turf, says the American Sportsman,
is code of rules and system of gov
eminent that will avoid appeals to the
courts. The complications that arise
are perpleXing enough to annoy those
at the helm without their being forced
to argue their cases before juries that
do not know trotting rule from a bat
tie axe, to say nothing of the sample of
hair-splitting that disguised the public
in the Nelson case last winter. The
bulk of the cases that come before the
boards of both associations hinge on
getting money under false p retences. -

Editorial NOtings.

THE indefatigabe Professor San
born, whom New Hampshire foolishly
parted With, Missouri was not worthy
Of, and Utah has captured, is man
who is "into everything" in the way of
thorough and intelligent study and he
has been lately testing an old belief
that meal fed alone is harmful to horses.
Professor Sanborn fed two lots of
horses for nearly three months, one
with hay and grain mixed, the other
with hay and grain separately. AT the
end of this period the food was re-
versed, and the horses were fed some
two months more. 1t was found that
horses showed no disadvantage by the
division of the hay and grain into sep
arate feeds over feeding hay mixed
with grain. Indeed, in this trial he
found disadvantage for the horses on
the hay and grain mixed, they not
maintaining their weight as well. The
author ascribed this result to the
fact that the timothy hay, when cut
fine, with its sharp solid ends irritated
and made sore the mouths of the horses,
and possibly induced too rapid eating,
as when the hay and grain were moist
they would be more likely to eat more
rapidly than when fed dry. The second
trial covered feeding cut against whole
hay to horses. This trial also covered
two periods in which the foods were
reversed with the sets, in order to de-
termine whether any change of weights
found was due to the individualism of
the horses. This trial was decisively
in favor of the cut hay. The differ
ence in weight of the horses was 115
pounds in favor of cut clover for the
four months and half covered by this
period. The food fed was clover, and
the author points out the fact that clo-
yer hay and lucern, unlike timothy hay,
do not present sharp, solid, cutting
edges. The results are decisive and in
accord with those of a trial made by the
Indiana Experiment Station with cat.
tie. Director Sanborn points out the
fact that these trials, covering nearly a
years time with four horses, showed
that horses consume practically the
same amount of food that cattle do wher
high fed, and makes it somewhat cleal
that horses make as economical use Of
hay and grain as do cattle.

obeyed with impunity as under the last
commissioner. Retail dealers naturally
desire to handle oleomargarine, since
the profits on it are immensely larger
than on butter. They can handle it
for what it is, but not as butter, colored
or otherwise made to initiate it. 1t
looks as if dairymen were now to have
some protection.
IT is rather strange, so near as we are
to the great cities, that Vermont dairy
men are doing so little, or at least that
we hear so little, of any manufacture
of fancy small cheeses in this state for
the city trade. There ought to be a
good deal of money in that business,
if rightly handled; and new and
profitable ways of marketing our milk
ought to be well looked up. Cannot
some of our readers tell us what, if
anything, is being done in this way?
The Dairy World says: eve often
hear of people who builded better than
they knew. This applies exactly to the
old cheese makers who have been so
successful in making fine qualities of
cheese of not only full milk, but also of
the SKINNED milk. The French peo-
pie have excelled in this industry, max
ing more than a hundred sorts of
cheese, all differing in kind and flavor,
and the differences all due to varying
methods of curing. Why the differ
ences should be made they could not
tell, but under our present light, we
know they are caused by the action of
special germs, now called bacteria, and
varying in their action under different
degrees of temperature and of mois-
ture.
How many interesting things an OBJ
serving eye will note in the many oper-
atoms of farm lifel We are not bee
keeper, yet we know that Bookkeeping
is full of interest to an intelligent and
active mind-as witness the following
from the bee department of the Stock
man and Farmer: The question is
often asked, "how can so many insects
occupied at once on the edge of combs
where it is dark, as in beehive, con-
cur in giving them the common curva-
ture, from one extremity to the other,
as is found in the comb of the honey
bee?" 1t is supposed that this direct
mathematical work is done by actual
measurement, as each bee has square
or rule to measure by in the shape of
the antenne. All who have observed
the antenn@ of the honey-bee know
that there is joint in each, out toward
the end of them. In building worker
comb, which is five cells to the inch
this joint is closed like jack-knife, so
that when the antenne thus closed is
Strengthened out on each side of the
head, the folded points just touch the
sides or walls of the cells. In building
drone comb they are fully straight, SO
that they touch the walls of the cells
when thus extended; thus larger cells
are made, or cells numbering four to
the inch. In this we see the wisdom
of kind providence which placed
within the bee an instructive capacity
as great, according to its wants, as is
the reasoning capacity in man.

ONE would hardly believe there were
wild sheep on the Atlantic coast; but
such story comes so we'll authenticated
that little doubt of its truth remains.
Thirty years ago man put few sheep
upon rocky island at the entrance of
Penobscot bay and let them " shift for
themselves" summer and winter. They
are corraled once year and sheared.
No other attention is paid to them, yet
they have increased in number to $50.
Summers they subsist upon wild grasses
and other heritage, and winters upon
browse and sea weeds thrown upon the
beach. Although the usage is rough,
they are free from depredations of dogs
and wild beasts of prey.

HERE is something in praise of the
hog, which is by no means unworthy
of note-especially at the end: A
Western breeder declares the hog has
no equal on the globe. He dresses a
heavier net carcass and is of quality
equal to the best. His meat is the
staple with the rural and laboring popu-
lation, and is much easier preserved
than any other. 1t furnishes as tender,
juicy and delicately favored steak as
any animal; the fat to fry itself as well
as fry beef, mutton, poultry, game and
fish; shortens our pie crust, short cake,
biscuit; oils our machinery, as well as
wheels of commerce on land and sea;
furnishes good light, and last but not
least, very materially assists Phil

AN exchange says that in the czar's

the cultivation of the sunaower, and
that every part of the plant is utilized.
From the seed an oil is expressed that
is used in cooking, for salads and va
rious domestic purposes, as olive oil is
in other countries. The oilcake is val
liable for feeding cattle, and the dry
stalks make an excellent fuel. The
seeds of the larger varieties are used to
an enormous extent by the people,
very much as peanuts are eaten with
us, but without being roasted. They
are certainly excellent in flavor as well
as rich and nutritious. Now has any
