Two or three years ago farmers
abandoned hog breeding because i
did not pay. This result is seen IN
the markets this winter. Many are
contemplating abandoning horse
breeding now. The result will be-
the same as 1t was in the matter of
hogs. There never was time and it
is doubtful IL there ever will be wher
1t does not pay to raise good horses

Srotters, The entire number Of
horses with records of 2:15 or bet e.
is GAG, Of which 122 are PAGERS. Wher.
we consider that there are at least six
trctters handled to one PAGER, the fact
is apparent that the time is coming
when trOtters and PAGERS will change
places in public estimation.
The PAGER is still ahead in our
opinion, for Mascot paced his mile of
2:O4 in race and came right back in
the second heat and lost only by 81
nose in 2:0534 while the mile done
by Nancy was against the watch and
only one effort, and until she equals
the above achievements We will
claim the supremacy for the PAGER,
for as yet no trotter has come any
where near it.-Western Horsemau.
A correspondent writes: | see
in the Stockman some one rec
ommends coal oil for warts. We
had horse that had several lArg.
warts that would bleed badly. After
trying great many remedies and
all falling l was told to cut them off
with hot scythe blade, which was
successfully done. They had pre-
viously been cut off aud scared with
hot iron but they grew again.
