THE SECOND DAY.

The sun rose out of a clOudless
sky on the second morning of the
races. The unusually heavy dew
lay like a shower on the leaves and
foliage of the beautiful city. The
Slight nOrther gratefully cooled the
atmosphere and relieved of the
heat which on yesterday was quite
oppressive.
The officers of the club We're
early on the ground, superintend-
ing arrangements for the day. The
track was freshly narrowed
and rolled for tOday's events,
leaving it in splendid con-
dltion for speed. The fences We're
raised where the outsiders found
them low enough to look over from
their carriage seats, and all the
grounds carefully inspected. The
cinder walk from the turnStiles to
the grand stand raised, hOllOws
filled and the whole rolled smooth
ly.
Everything is in order for the
best days racing that San Antonio
has ever given, and it is confident
ly expected that some records will
be broken before the events Of the
day are over.
The telephone service is so bad,
that it is impossible to get report

NOTES.

DR.. {. G.. Lithicun says: 81 was born in
Mason county, Kentucky, in 1920; went
to Baltimore, Md, in 1910 and staid there
about two years, then went back to Ken
lucky and returned to Baltimore in 1852.
JEFF Goodwin of Baltimore, who, think
came from Philadelphia, had a small
black horse, called, think, Bell, of the
Vermont or Canadian order; could go
fast in those days; PAGER, and could
trot, too. lie looked like the Vermont
Morgans; my recollection is that he had
a not very long tail with a joint or two
taken of. He was very good horse,
900 to 1000 pounds, not quite so heavy as
Pilot. Mountain Boy was gray PAGER
from Canada and owned by Bailey of
Millersburg, KY, 80 years ago.
"The Tom breed of horses in Maryland
were saddle horses, very valuable horses
and prizes for family use. Frank Pierce
was "a good horse, but did not show
much breeding; looked more like Ca
muck. think myself that the Vermont
and Canadian horses were very intimate
ly connected. There is very striking
resemblance between them. The Nor
gans are little more plump; little
better loin. The Canadians are little
short-ribbed and drawn up In the flank
Oasterns straighter and with high heels.

THE WHEAT PLANT IN WINTER.
Conditions Favorable TO Its Coming Out
Whole In the Spring.

Conditions Favorable TO Its Coming Out
Whole In the Spring.
Under favorable conditions the wheat
root endures the severest cold with COM
paratively little injury, especially if the
ground is covered even slightly with
snow 1t is not so much that snow keeps
out the severest cold. Through light
covering of snow cold penetrates very
readily But it probably is enough to
prevent freezing of the soil down to the
extremties of the wheat roots. That
cuts off the supply of moisture which
even in winter the wheat root must fur
nish the leaf to replace that lost by
evaporation. Deep freezing when there
is no snow on the ground turns the
leaves brown, showing that the root is
locked in frost so that it can no longer
supply the moisture required. But IF
snow touches the leaf the evaporation is
from the snow rather than from the
plant After the severest cold when
snow has covered the wheat the leaf
comes out almost us bright a green as it
was in early fall
Much depends on the condition of the
soil in enabling winter wheat to come
out whole in the spring, says American
Cultivator. authority for the foregoing
Frequently too wet soil is most injuri-
Gus. But the soil, especially in regions
where there is little snow, or on high,
exposed places, where snow is blown off
By winds, may easily be too dry as well
as too wet. On the wind swept knobs
the soil dries out quickly and often
freezes to great depth. No possible fall
growth of top can save the soil from
freezing below the lowest wheat roots.
Then the more top the plant has made
the worse it suffers. because from the
numerous leaves greater evaporation
of moisture takes place 1t is for this
reason as much as any other that low
clay lands sheltered from winds are best
for wheat. Farmers say the clay soil
holds the roots better. 1t is not that ex-
actly. The clay holds more moisture
ard thus does not freeze so deeply
But land for wheat must not hold
stagnant water near the surface. If the
water SO fills the soil that it becomes ice

pruning hook for briers. 1t makes

easy. as the blade, being thin, slips nicely
through the canes. The handle was
made from an old hoe handle.
THE other implement is "A spud for cut

one-fourth of an inch thick, and the
edges are left of that thickness, coming
to point about an eighth of an inch be-
low the cutting edge. This prevents the
spud from slipping off large roots"

ling Chiffon Paint there is one
thing you may be suIe of-he is
trying to furnish the public with
goods which have merit. He buys
the highest priced paint in the
market and in order to compete
with other paint, he is obliged to
make less money per gallon than
his competitors. If he handles
good paint he doubtless carries the
same line of policy through his
entire stock. How then with a
smaller profit can he existl Watch
the number of customers that call

A Wheatfield Lake.

In the island of Corsica, near the head
waters of the little stream dignified with
the name Of Favignano river, and about %
miles from the village of Corte, there is a
10 acre field which is simply a subterranean
lake covered with soil to the depth of about
18 inches. Last year n field of wheat was
cultivated upon this odd piece of soil
which yielded 35 bushels to the acre. A
person of curious turn of mind who wishes
to investigate for himself and who will
take the trouble to dig hole spade han
die length or more in depth will find that
he has dug entirely through the covering
of soil to the surface of the lake, which re-
peated soundings prove to be from 25 to so
feet in depth. Through the opening thus
made fish may be caught which have nei-
ther eyes nor scales.
The soil covering of this curious subter-
ranean lake is a black mari made up of
centuries of accumulations of vegetable
matter. All work in this unique field must
of necessity be done by hand, the soil not
being of sufficient strength or thickness to
bear the weight Of horses and machinery
The whereabouts of this natural wonder is
known to everybody on the misunderstanding
