was foaled April 3, 1856, so that he is
now in his tenth year. Being big,
growthy youngster, he showed no par
ticular promise on the miniature track
where all of the yearlings are first tried
at Palo Alto, and Charles Marvin, who
was then at the head Of Gov. Stanford's
training stables, bundled Azote off to
the Vina ranch, where most of the re-
jected trotters are sent from Palo Alto.
after they have been tried and found
wanting for turf purposes. At Vina,
the big son of Whips was put to work
on four-horse team at ploughing and
all sorts of farm drudgery. On Sundays
one of the farm hands used occasionally
to hitch him single to a buggy and take
a drive on the road with his wife. In
this way he discovered that Azote could
step along at good clip, and when
Ariel Lathrop. Gov. Stanford's brother
in-law and general manager, visited the
vina ranch one day in 1891 the man
spoke to him about the big Whips geld
ing's speed on the road. About this
time the noted reinsman. Orrin Hic-
kok, arranged with Mr.. Lathrop to
train and campaign some of the Stan
ford trotters in the East. and Azote was
among the horses that were given him.
Hickok took the horse to Monroe Sails
bury's track at Pleasanton and there
developed his speed. With few
weeks training he trotted quarter in
0:34, it is said, and by the time Hickok
was ready to start for the Eastern trot-

AZote was red-hot fayorite In a big
betting race. but after winning the first
heat easily in 2:15% he went all to
pieces in very strange fashion and
Geneva beat him in the race. The big
horse was as steady as a clock at Inde-
pendence. the next stand in the West
ern-Southern, circuit, and so hopeless
was the chance of beating him consid-
cred that the owners of all the horses
in the race consented to his taking frs.
money and remaining in the stable.
Hickok drove him working-out mile
that day in PIP on Williams kite
shaped track. Azote made two more
starts in 1892, John Splan driving him
to record of 2:14h at Indianapolis,
Sept %, but he was beaten here and at
Fort Wayne by Lord Clinton and An
derson's Nightingale.
Azote was good horse again in 1893.
when Hickok took him through the
Grand Circuit in the 2:l5 class, the big
fellow forcing Pixley to trot In 2:111s
and 2:121a at Buffalo, and in 2:11A and
2:13k at Rochester, while he defeated
Instant, Una Wilkes, Bush, and some
others at Springfield in 2:16A, 2:17a4.
and 2:151a. Later in the season he
started against Directum in the free
for-all at Fleetwood, and against Muta
Wilkes at Providence, but was not
among the contending horses in either
race, and when Hickok took him back
to Palo Alto at the close of the cam
paign he was looked upon as outclassed.
In the winter of 1894 Monroe Sails
bury was invited by the managers of
the Stanford farm to take look at
the Palo Alto trotters and pick out
few to campaign on shares on Eastern
tracks. The Pleasanton turfman, who
had seen Azote trained ON his own track

his square. easy way of going, selected

BETTER CROP REPORTS.

The Department of Agriculture
has been making strenuous efforts
to perfect the crop reporting ser
vice ever since the induction into
Office of the present Secretary,
Hon. j. Sterling Morton. OF late
the monthly statistics of crop
conditions have greatly increased
in value, but the Secretary is still
not satisfied with the result. His
aim is not only to keep the people
thoroughly posted as to the exist
ing condition of the crops, but as
nearly as may be given them an
accurate forecast of the prospects
SO as to afford guide in their
planting and cultivation.
With this idea in view the See
retary has recently reformed the
districts for the collection of data.
making them more compact and
accessible TO the agents. In some
daseS, as for instance Texas, new
agents will he appointed, but in
most eases the old officials will be
retained. Oklahoma, the Indian
Territory and Arkansas will com
prise one district, and Missouri
and Kansas another, of which Mr..
II. O. Garvey, of Topeka. Kansas.
will he the agent. The other dis =
trictS will he reformed with the
same regard for effectiveness in
making reports and it Is expected
that the best results will follow.
The secretary is to be commend
ed for this endeavOr To make the
crop reports accurate. There is
no better method of cirrumvent =
ing the schemes of grain gamblers
than To keep the people thorough =
ly posted on crop conditions. II
the monthly reports possessed no
other merit they would be worth
all they cost and more for this
reason alone. The legitimate
trading in grain is all right, hut
dealing in the credulty or Specula
tive impulses of the people, itnn
ulated by mistaken reports of croI
conditions. is an evil. which per
feet and accurate statistics vii
minimize if they do not abolish.
