nation, and one that could pass almost
all other horses of his age on the roads.
His only colt that was known as a sire
was called Emigrant. His dam was one
of a team of very fine-looking road mares
that were purchased by a man named
Vincent, somewhere in Indiana. She
was large, strongly-made animal, but
her reuigree did not know, and | do
not believe her owner did either. Emf
grant was sold by Mr.. Vincent to a Mr..
Hazeltine, believe, who brought him
across the plains to Oregon, and from
there to California, aud that was the
reason the horse was called Emgrant.

THE STORY OF BILLY MCCRACk
EN-

From the California Breeder and Sportsman
The histories of the horses which came
to California oyer 30 years ago will
always be found interesting to horsemen
of the present day. The gathering up of
the tangled threads of the stories of these
Old-time trotters, and weaving them into
fabric that will last fol- years, is not
only pleasure but duty. The horse
men who brought these pioneers across
the plains or across the lsthmus are
rapidly passing away, and in few years
the stories they now tell would all be
legendary were it not for the endeavors
of turf journalists to publish the facts as
told by these gentlemen.
One of the most interesting of these is
DIR. O. G. McCracken, a hale and hearty
resident of Berkeley, whose 10 years rest
lightly upon him. Thoroughly familiar
with all the prominent horses that have
come to California since, and being
always interested in large number OF
good ones, it was with pleasure we
listened to the following sketch of the
stallion Billy McCracken, horse that
has left some very good descendants in
California:
| was living in Chicago in 1851, when
my brother, j. G. McCracken, who was
at Lockport, n. Y, wrote me long let
ter advising me to buy colt by his horse
Morgan Black Hawk afterwards known
as McCracken's Black Hawk, out of a
mare called the Let's Mare. was more
than pleased with the news that the Let's
Mare had a colt by his horse, and | lost
no time in corresponding with the owner
and purchasing the colt. 1t was then
five months old. | did not see the
yOungster, but knowing the sire as well
as did, and having ridden behind the
dam, knew that ! was getting the worth
of my money.
This mare was owned by man named
Let's. and for her remarkable speed and
perfect conformation she was known as
''rhe Let's Mare" by many and as 1.-The
Sampler" by others. The Let's farm
was three miles from Medina, at place
called Barneygatt, Orleans Co., n. Y
As a number of the young men, and old
ones, too, at that time were becoming in
terested in trottng horses, the sole de-
sire, it seemed to me, of those who lived
within a radius of 40 miles of the Lett;
farm was to get roadster that coulC
beat this mare on that three miles and 1
half of road.
Taken out of a heavy wagon anC
hitched to lighter one, or in one tina
weighed as heavy as those drawn by hel
contestants, she would out-trot them al
easily, and from the many trials mad,
against her she was known as 9Th,
Sampler" If booted and cared for a.

The most painful cases of rheumatism
may be relieved by few applications
of Chamberain's Pain Balm; its con-
tinued use will cure any case, no matter
of how long standing. 1t is equally
beneficial for lame back, pain in the
side, pain in the chest, lameness, and in
all painful affections requiring an exter-
nal remedy. A piece of flannel saturated
with Pain Balm and bound on over the
seat of pain is superior to any plaster.

Mr.. JOSEPH BATTELL,
Dear Sir have the advance sheets
of your Forthcoming work, and shall be
glad to give it review both in the Ameri-
can Farmer & Farm News and in The
American Horseman, As | am editor of
both. | am great a6mirer of the Nor

my farm for a good many years, though
most of it was very much diluted, and am
very glad that so competent an authority
is going to give us history of the
famous breed
Hoping that your measure of success
will be commensurate with the great
work you have done, remain,
Yours very truly,

lation to the sugar in the juice, @ result
which would be a measure Of the efficiency
of the work of the boiling house. | am OF
opinion that 100 lbs of sugar III the juice
should yicId about So lbs Of muscoyado weigh
ed on The estate and 76 to II lbs weighed III
New York or other extra colonial port. There
is some difficulty in obtaining reliable IN
formation, chiefly from the fact that some OF
the sugar is sold locally and some In New
York or other port in the latter case it ire
quently happens that the sugar is weighed IN
the port Of sale only and it is therefore i'm
possible to ascertain what YVES the actual loss
of weight on the voyage. Where one weight
only is known, the following method OF cal
c|dlating has been adopted S per cent has
been deducted fir, m the local weight and the
resuI has been called the New York wei ght
or u per cent has been added to the New
York weight and the result, has been as the
local weight. Formerly 5 per cent were taken
as the estimated loss on shipping, but TINS IL
Nbelieved to be too low.
The Information has been obtained from
nine out of the ten estates for which the COM
position Of the juice is given above, and the
figures thus obtained should prove OF consld-
cradle value to the proprietors and managers
of the estates in QUESTION.
= 1t is thought undesirable to publish these
figures in detail, but the average results OF
seven estates are igiven i'll table v; these
seven are chosen as being fairly representa-
tive of the conditions prevailing IN Antigua
at the present moment.

Now with juice Of HE quality represented
oy the Louisiana figures We should find
it impossible to make muscovado sugar with
the appliances used in Antigua. | find that
the sugar Produced is soft and generally IN
different in quality when the glucose ratio
reaches 6 0. The quality Of the juice has
probably had an important bearing on the
improvements in sugar machinery in any
given district. In places like the Eeoward
Islands, Barbados &c, where The juice is
rich and with a small glucose ratio, muScoya-
do sugar is easily made, and as the cost of
the necessary plant is small the muScovado
process has suited the industrial conditions
of these places; the conditions Of the musco,
vado industry will be discussed later. In
those places on the contrary where the glu-
cose ratio is high, as in Louisiana, and | think
/ may add Demerara and Trinidad, musco-
vadO sugar could only be made with difficult
ty, hence it became absolutely necessary
to adopt other processes, and it is in these
places where the greatest Improvements in
sugar making machinery have taken place,
and the triple effect and vacuum pan are
regarded as the only remunerative sugar
making appliances. The position of the Sand
witch Islands is different here the in
dustry is Of comparatively late ii reduction
and the first sugar growers were able to adopt
modern methods, without going through the
process of evolution to be traced in the older
sugar growing countries.
