A FAMOUS HORSE FARM, PALO
TO

ThrUy-four miles south of San Fran
cisco is situated "Palo Alto" the home
of the late Senator Leland Stanford.
the most famous horse-breeding and
training farm in the United States, and
the home of Electioneer, Palo Alto,
Sunol, Advertiser, Dictator and Elec-
tricity, horses whose names appear as
stars to all lovers of that noble animal
which is so closely associated with man
in the worlds civilization. The farm
lies on the coast division of the Southern
Pacific railroad, in the Santa Clara val
ley, and contains S.40O acres of valley
and foot hill land, the latter rising into
the heavily wooded Sierra MOrona range
of mountains, 2000 to 1000 feet In
height. Three miles to the east lies the
bay of San Francisco. The climatic in
fiuence and system of raising horses are
entirely different in California from
those in the eastern States. The com
parative evenness of temperature, the
pure, bracing air and the freedom from
oppressive heat make this valley pecu-
liarly adapted to rearing and training
horses. Rain seldom falls from April to
November, thus atfording excellent OPP
portunites for proper training.
In addition to the home farm at Palo
Alto, the Stanford estate consists of
$4,000 acres in Butte county, known as
the Gridley ranch, and $4,000 acres in
Butte and Tehama counties, known as
the Vina farm, the latter being used
largely as grazing and breeding farm,
as well as containing the largest vine
yard in the world. TO develop horse
breeding and viticulture in California
was far more to Senator Stanford than
to obtain revenue from either his
horse or his vines. At one time Elec-
tiOneer could not have been purchased
for his weight in gold, and $50, 900 was
refused for Electricity, who recently
sold in Kentucky for $1,000.

VARIOUS NOTES.
Mirror and Farmer. !


"Griffin" in the Turf, Field and Farm
tells about clark" trotter that has a
stride "a feet. The longest stride ever
claimed for a trotter was 30 feet for
Gloster, the Inland son of Volunteer.
The hired man who cannot or does not
manage horse without blows or loud
and harsh commands had better be dis
missed. Kind and quiet drivers are very
much to be preferred for various reasons.
The surest way to produce speed is by
breeding stations that have proved that
they have speed to mares that are also
known to possess it, with due regard to
speed lines and blood lines in remoter
ancestors.
Geo. Greenbanks of South Danville,
Vt, is said to own the only living son of
Ethan Allen , :251 in Vermont.
An eleven-months-old colt by Mack,
owned in Vermont, stands AL and
weighs 75S pounds.
In support of his views that no trotter
will be able to do mile in harness and
to rule, in two minutes, DR.. George
w. Bailey, the distinguished Maine
veterinary, makes the strong points that.
prior to the advent of the bicycle sulky,
no faster quarter than 30i seconds, a :O3
gait, had ever been recorded at Hartford,
and that with the aid of the new sulky
there is but one isolated case of quarter
better than 80 seconds, viz: 293, by
Nancy Hanks, at Terre Haute, Ind,
being the third quarter. which is said to
be down hill; besides which there is
more likely to be an error in timing the
third than any other quarter. This
indicates quite clearly that a rate of two
minutes to the mile is about the limit of
trotting speed, with the aid of the bike"
for quarter, and the man who claims
that it is possible for horse to maintain
for a mile the extreme flight which he
can carry for quarter would indeed
like Dogberry, "write himself down an
ass" The bike says the doctor, seer
tainly has shot it bolt. The drop was
sharp, sudden, but decisive, and still we
are further away from the two-minute
mark in 1893 than we were in 1892, the
record of Drectum being the nearest APP
proach to that of Nancy Hanks, while
if progressive breeding and training
were factor in the problem we would
have seen the marx set forward instead
of backward

The KIND THAT SELLS

We often hear it said that there is a
place for every good horse at fair price,
but find it is much easier to find place
for some good horses than for others.
For instance, If one has a good-slzed,
nice-looking, sound and safe gentleman's
driver that can trot in three and half
minutes, it is not hard matter to find
a place for him at the price generally
asked for that kind, say $3.50 to $3.50.
Or If one has trOtter that can go three
times in 30 and is sire of race horses,
it is not hard matter to find customer
for him or her at Il good stiff price, say
$1,000 to $1,000, according to age. size,
soundness, etc, But when one has a
horse that can trot about 2 40 and no
faster, and is valued at from $500 to
500, it is often quite hard matter to
find a place for him at whatever he
ought to bring be he ever 50 good horse
individually. When man buys "A horse
for speed he wants extreme speed and
nothing slower than 2: 80 will do. A

three-minute horse for the road. When
a horse is fit and ready for the market
and the owner is ready to sell, then let
him sell for what some good customer
will give, and then try again on another
one. And if the animal acts particularly
well and there is quite a stir about him,
and you are offered all you ask, don't get
scared and 60 up so high that no one
will buy, but take the offer if it is IL fair
one. If you don't, ten chances to one
the horse gets out of fix in some way
before you have another offer, and no
one will buy at any price. Unless a
horse is something extraordinary In
some respects 1t is no use to put fancy
price on HIM and expect to sell for cash.

The first volume. which is now in the fanus
of the printers, will contain about tour
thousand pedigrees, carefully compiled from
original sources. a sketch OF the Orlgln anu

fixed at 50, post paid to any address
in the United States or Canada. The
work has been done throughout on the
plan OF first exhausting all practicable means
of getting and verifying information, discrim
mating rigidly between what Is known and
what is unknown, and setting down nothing
as ascertained which is in doubt. Sources of
Information will be given in each pedigree so
that every reader can verify the work for
himself. Full descriptions OF the animals reg

merits of the Morgans, as compared with 9th
or families, for both speed and endurance on
the track, will be appended. Entries will be
received for a short time further, and blanks
furnished on application. Address
