The card to-day is in some respects a
good one. II is not very well filled, but
if it is not butchered too much by scratch
ing it will be fun enough for good sport
and the delays at the post will not be as
long as they usually are Four OF the
events are at five furlongs and under one
is ct O mile, and the other is six and a
quarter furlougs. The race for the youngsters
is ,'at five furlongs, instead Of half a
mile, and the half q mile event is for
maideDs.
The opening event Is the six and a quarter
furloDgs and has twelve entries. OF
these Odd Socks on form appears to be
the best one to follow. He has been
steadily improving and his second on
Saturday to Mirage beating such good
ones as Oporto end Lotion seems to give
him the beat right to win. or the others
Hazel and Leporello appear to be the best
and should finish in that order. Wyoming
has been a lobster OF late and may jump
out and run into the money.
The two-year-old race is q pipe for Dutch
Girl, and she should be returned winner
beyond the question of a doubt Mono
iith looks TO be in nicely at 100 pounds
and may run into second money, but win
have to beat Higbie before doing so. Wtst-
full seems to be SO far from her usual self,
and the Westsrner Halle Gay has turned
out to be such q rank counterfeit, that they
need not be considered at all. They're all
right, but they won't do.
Unless you want to go clean broke 1t
would be good idea to skip the third event.
1t is dog race OF the worst description,
and the man who can handicap a winner
out of it is dandy. We pass.
II John Croker is ready to Gu { him loose,
Plunderer should have no difficulty in win
ming the fourth race, at five furlongs. Maj.
McNulty "dopes' to be about second, with
Blue Bird third A straight bet on the
Major may be profitable
Joe Mack, from the way he ran Satur-
day, seems to have had too much of it,
and stands the best chance in the world
OF not only being beaten, but badly beaten.
Pirate Chief is good just about now and win
come very near winning. He has only
ninety mine pounds to carry, and win prob
ably race so far out in front of his field
that they will never catch him. Hippona
should be the runner up, with either Joe
Mack OF Selah third.
The closing race looks to be cinch for
Melinda. Her good race with Parvenue
the time they were asked to rope at makes
to-day's eventlook very easy for her. Duke
of Gloucester will likely be second, with
Silver Queen third

The furore that was occasioned by the
wonderful transition of the horse George
Hakes from a lobster TO a sprlnter with
surprising burst of speed has died away as
suddenly as 1t began. That the horse was
a ringer" there seems good cause to believe,
but the attempts of certain paper TO con-
meet one OF the officials OF the et. Asaph
track with the steal were as absurd as
they were laughabie.
Aside from the doubt that still exists
that the horse was "a ringer" and there
are horsemen on the track who know both
George Hakcs and Frank who will
bet as high as 81 900 thati 1t was not Frank
d. The very fact that the people owning
the horse just barely escaped being ruled
off and have been refused permission To
start Hakes again 10 pretty conclusive eVi-
dence that the official mention ed had
nothing whatever to do with the matter.

Hakes' people up to the job, 1t Is foolish
to think for a moment that they would
have gone into the business with their
eyes shut aud without some guarantee
that they would not suffer for it He has

to suppose that he would have done SO to
the last Jump If he had been connected
with the Job" AS it was, they had to
put up talk that would have done Dutch
uncle proud before they were allowed
to keep their horses on the track.
The fact that the same paper iutmated
that Eclipse Jr. was also ringer
and was the Caprice colt in disguise,
showed how little Judgment was used

that there is no comparison possible

FARM AND GARDEN.
BUILDING A CREAMERY.

a Few Suggestions Concerning Arrange
ment of the Machinery.
Since the creamery question is being
agitated perhaps a few pointers on the
building and the arrangement of the
machinery may not be amiss.
The first move should be to find q
suitable location. At first thought this
might seem to be an easy matter. The
site is very important, however. 1t
should have pure air and sunshine
natures best and cheapest disinfectants
and be free from any surroundings
that would be likely to faint the atmcs-
phere. Put it far enough from stables,
shops, and from the railroad, that the
SCOT may not be a nuisance.
Good, pure water is Indispensable just
as necessary as pure air. No one can
make good butter without it. Few pco7
pie are careful enough about the source
of their water supply. With the sur
rounding surface saturated with i'm
purities, 1t cannot be otherwise than
that a part of it finds its way into TIE
well, unless the greatest precaution is

A Suggestion for Dairymen.

Handling whey and buttermilk is q
problem at butter and cheese factories.
At the Lawrence factory for making
fancy cheese, a pipe is laid from
the factory to the top of u hill,
about 50 feet higher than the
factory and $500 feet away. On
the summit are commodious and
well constructed hog pens, with rooms
for the attendants. The pens are
comfortably arranged and easily kept
clean, and in winter are warmed by
steam heat. To this place all the whey
and buttermilk is forced by steam
pump, and main from the village
waterworks furnishes unlimited sup
plies of pure, fresh water for drinking,
washing, etc. The hogs are bred on the
place; two crops of 300 hogs each are
raised and marketed annually.

Ice House on n Small Scale.

If the farmer should have any of the
luxuries which are possible to those
who live in cities, there is nothing that
will insure them SO cheaply as good
ice house. A suitable building for hold
ing ice may be built wholly above
ground, or partly below and partly
above, but in either case it should have
good drainage, and tight roofing, and
ample arrangement for ventilation.
There should be a space of from IS to "a
inches between the walls and the cubes
of ice. This space is best filled with
sawdust, or, in the absence of this, with
fresh leaves or chopped straw. The
opening should be on the north side Of
the building, and it is best if the build
Ing is not exposed to the sun or windS

used to prevent it. The building should
be located high enough to insure per-
feet drainage. The drain should De
carried several hundred feet under
ground from the factory, before it is
allowed to come to the surface. No
drain is complete without trap"
The plant should be as centrally To-
Gated as possible, but not too far from
the shipping station, if the product is
to be shipped. The best site is at a side
hill, so that the weigh room can be at
the east side if possible. twill then be
sheltered from the cold winds in winter.
The driveway should be graded high
enough to allow the milk to flow FROM
the weigh can into the receiving vat. #
the vat can be placed above the level of
the separator it will avoid the pumping
of the milk.
The more convenient everything is
arranged the fewer persons will be re-
quired to operate it and the less the
expense will be. If l were building
creamery for myself l would build the
churnroom in a endorsement, making
the excavation about feet deep, which,
with an S-foot wall, would permit the
use of plenty of windows for light and
ventilation. The idea would be to BE-
cure as even temperature as possible
the year round. 1t is very necessary
to have cool room in which to churn
and work butter in hot weather. 1t
is a very difficult matter to make good
butter in room where the temperature
rises to so or 90 degrees.
In the diagram w is the scales and
weigh can, on an elevated platform,
from which the milk runs through a
conductor into the receiving vat, Il V,
and from the vat into the separator s.
From the separator the cream can be
conducted into the cream vat, c V.

The steam and water guage should
sight of the operator, through the open
door, while running the operator. The
roof on the building should be fireproof,
to lessen the risk; the insurance will
be less also. Any competent carpen-
ter can construct the building and fit
the interior. 1t is entirely unnecessary
to employ a regular creamery con-
tractor, and perhaps pay double price
or more. Better employ competent,
disinterested man who understands
creamery work to superintend the build
Ing. The cost will be less and the
work more satisfactory. Sometimes
secondhand machinery that has been
used but little can be bought very low,
compared to new; as the machinery is
tine greatest expense, it would reduce
the cost of the plant very much.-O. j.

WlNTERING POTATOES.


a Dug-Out.
In report of tie Kansas state board
of agriculture, as quoted in an eX-
change, it is said that, if buried, pota-
toes must be covered lightly at first,
and the covering added from time to
time, but only enough to protect the
tubers from frost. This is the most I'M
satisfactory and expensive way of
storing potatoes. The next worst is Il
cellar under building. The most sat
isfactory and cheapest way is to store
in a dug-out. In most Kansas soils,
no walls but the dirt walls are needed.
The roof will be of earth over poles
and brush. In wet weather such a roof
will leak unless covered with boards,
corn stalks, straw or other covering.
The best location will be a slope on
bank facing south. By leaving az
alley through the center of the dug-out,
with plenty of large ventilator shafts
through the roof, brisk circulation
will be set up whenever the door in the
end is opened-particularly where the
door opens on the level, as it will if
the building is dug in the side of
bank. The trouble with a cellar under
a building is to give it air enough.
The dug-out should be built with
bin on each side of central alley. The
bottom of the bins should be raised SIX
inches from the ground. Both the bot
tom and sides are best made of fence
boards, with inch spaces between. The
sides of the bins should be clear of
contact with the walls, whether stone
or dirt. Spouts should be placed at
intervals through the roof at the
outside of the bins, through which tv
pour down the potatoes into the cellar.
Such building, carefully managed DIS
to ventilation, opened up on frosty
nights and kept closed during the
warm days of fall and early winter,
will take Early Ohio potatoes through
to spring without sprouting. Early
Rose, Beauty of Hebron and such va
rieties may require turning over once.
The only antidote for sprouting, aside
from the manner of storage, that is
known, is the scoop shovel. Potatoes
may be kept in cool storage until An-
gust without a sprout.
