America 1t has no rival in stuti1ng
the tissues with fat, hut nature never
offers q ration compounded as corn il
to any young animal. There In not
enough Of the bone aud muscle max
ing material in corn TO grow the
fostus. The steer will fatten on corn
alone II you give him enough Of 1t, so
that he can get what protein he needs.
He will waste the surplus cRrbo-
hydrates. II you add oil meal he
wastes leNs, but the pregnant mare
tied in a stall with colt to develop
must eat what you give her.

Reports come over the water Of {
wonderful mile run by four-year
old colt called Juvenai, who won tn,
Nottingham Spring Handicap las
week IN :3S l-5. The colt WAS no
considered n wonder in England
and viewed from this distance tn,
performance bears striking resem
Olance TO the fast miles alleged t
have been negotiated by Kirsch ant

English racing men do not attacl
much importan ;e to time, claiming
it is no index OF q hOIse's quality
and it Is possibly on this AccOuL
that many Of the races run in Eng
land are at uncertain distances. In
vestigation proves the nottingham
Spring Handicap to be one Of these
as the race IL given in the Englisl
Racing Guide Ne 'about one mile
So the performance IL not so wonder
full As it appears at first sight, ~ tn
distance may have been coneiders
bly, short OF q mile. An English pa
per In commenting on the race, says
1T is not pretended that Juvenal is
flyer among thoroughbreds, but Nh
fact remains that 1888 l:5 is tn
Gpeediest record registered in Eng
land 70. q horse galloping q mil
