HORSE GOSSIP.
Look at II. I. QUITS Stock at BroOksids


Being in the pleasant village of Orwell
recently representative of the Free Press
was taken In hand by Col William 3.
Wright, whose warm hospitality has been
enjoyed by many, and driven out a mile
and a quarter to II. T. Cults beautiful
stock farm Brookside. 1t seemed to be
pleasure for Mr.. Cults to show his elegant
colts. those exhibited including the famous
stallion Ben Franklin, 2:29. TO be strictly
accurate Ben Franklin could not be class
ed as colt, being % years old, but in ac-
ton, though If not in appearance, he was
the youngest of the lot shown.
Ben Franklin was sired by Daniel Lam
betr, the sire of 80 230 performers, and is
himself the sire of over 30 trotters and
PAGERS, with marks of 25O or better. G. o.
Taylor 2;15A (paceD the fastest of Bens
get, up to date, was bred and partially de-
veloped by Col. Wright. Incidentally, it
may well be stated that Ben Franklins
record as producer of speed, as well as
his record as sire of beautiful roadsters,
is not eXcelled by any other New Eng
land bred stallion. Buck Franklin, 2:17A
1.-TWO years old), broke the record for pa
GERS of his age and was justly called "a
world beater'
While Mr.. Cults has warm spot in his
heart for the Franklins, he also appre-
ciates the true worth of other breeds as
VIII be seen by the following: On our ar
rival at the farm M. Cults was giving
Prince Regent, jr., little attention. From
this colts name we can guess his sire
Prince Regent. 2:161s, who was the great
est money winner in the grand circuit in
1880 and who was frequently spoken of as
the "handsomest horse in the world"
Prince Regent jr.'s, dam was Orwell Maid
by Ben Franklin and his grand sire was
the great Mambrlno King. The colt is
chestnut in color stands up well, has an
ideal gait, shows willingness to go fast,
and Mr.. Cults confidently expects that
Regent jr., will not be disappointing in
his further development. G. A. Taylor of
Johnstown. N. Y. owns the colt
Capt, Franklin, five years old, by Ben
Franklin, is another horse, that Mr.. Cuts
expects a good deal Of, Nat Howe, 2:26, is
full brother to Capt. Franklin, while he
has never been trained much is being
handled at present and bids fair to enter
the list this season, Morgan Wilkes three
years old, owned by G. H. Hicks of Bos-
ton. Is at Brookside. He is entered in the
stallion produce stakes for foals of 1898,
to be trotted this year, the value of the
stake being about $500, as is also w. j.
Howes owned by Mr.. Cults, both colts
were sired by Victor wilkes. The dam OF
the w. J. Howes colt was by Holabird's
Ethan Allen These youngsters are being
worked out and are coming along faster
than was anticipated They will be heard
from no doubt before this year closes
Mr.. Cults Is wintering a very fine two
year old colt, sired by Victor Wilkes and
owned by G. A. Graves of Boston This
colts dam was Comee's sister, dam of
Alsa Dahlia, winner Of the race Of her
class at Mystic Park last fall and a
wagon load Of money for her owner.

much good that now recommend it to my
patients. The fact that l have used it in
my own case shows that / know what I
am talking about. AS tonic and invigor-
ant it is the best of all to build up per-
SON."
DIR. Robert w. Lance. of So. Woodbury.,
VT, says.
Il have known about DR.. Greene's Merry
ura blood and nerve remedy and the good
results in cases, as tonic, after hard
sickness, and the cure of nervous females.
They have received great good from its
use do not hesitate to recommend it,"
DIR. c. W. Cook of Carmel, Ind. says:
81 have used DR.. Greene's Nervura blood
and nerve remedy for my patients and
have found the remedy all that was claim
ed for 1t. The results have been entirely
satisfactory. I think it is worthy and I
recommend its use"
Such enthusiastic endorsement by ply
sicians stamps this remarkable medical
discovery as the greatest restorer of
health and strength. 1t certainly cures
more cases of disease than any other
known remedy, 1t is the prescription and
discovery of a well-known physician, DIR.
Greene, of "a Temple Place, Boston, Mass.

sonally or by letter.

One of the most noted physicians and
surgeons is Dr. Job Sweet, of New Bed
ford, Mass. He makes the public state
ment thar he has often recommended the
use Of DR., Greenes Nervura blood and
nerve remedy to his patients who have
been suffering from nervous troubles and
he has learned that in large number of
these eases 1t has proven effcacious.
Dr. Willard II. Morse. +. Is. s. Sc, of
Westfield, n. j., the great expert on medi-
cines. says Of this grand discovery of DR..
Greene:
The true remedy for nervous diseases Is
Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve
remedy. 1t acts by affecting the organs of
nutrition, and entering into the formation
of new nerve tissue, which generates nerve
force. This means the making of new
nerves"
The well-known DR.. Emil Neumer, SUI
perintending physician of the N. Y. Lodge
and Association Hospital says:
1--WE are using Dr. Greene's Nervura
blood and nerve remedy at this hospital
for our patients with good success"

cry. Then from the other beehives and
huts came groups of women, to comfort
and to wall in concert; in the midst was
the widow. with tears running down her
cheeks, and striking her nails into her
arms and breast The night before horse
had fallen on her husband and killed him.
The sorrow that is dumb is not for Arabs
the reserve Of power we hear so much of
and which makes our grief, our joy, our
eloquence our acting, seem so unreal to
all except ourselves, is not for those who
see the sun, Eyes of my soul, how lightly

A SPECIAL CROP BULLETIN.
COTTON ACREAGE OF GEORGIA IN
CREASED II PER CENT.

The Area tn = Per Cent. Below That
of Iso4-The sale of Fertilizers
Slightly in Excess of That of 1921,
But More Gunno Used Under Ce-
real Crops Than in 1s0a-Fifty Per
Cent. Of the Cotton Crops IN with
"A Fair stand.
Atlanta, Ga. May 1.-The state commits
sioner Of agriculture has just completed
an important bulletin bearing upon the
cotton acreage planted in Georgia this
year A complete and thorough canvass
Of the state was made to get the informa-
tion for the bulletin. and 1t is to be sent
out as a reliable estimate OF the crop.
Commissioner Nesbitt says: "The increase
In the cotton crop amounts to l3 per cent.
over last year. In the great cotton grow
ing sections Of Middle and Southwest
Georgia the increase is 10 per cent, but
the average for the state is brought up
TO 13 per cent. by the increase in the
northern and southeastern sections of the
state This increase in acreage over last
year does not bring the area IN cotton
up to that Of 1894 by z to per cent. The
sale of fertilizers has slightly exceeded
that of 1894, and the knowing ones insist,
therefore. that the acreage I'm cotton
would be greater than that year, but the
information at this department is that
guanO has been used more literally than
ever before under corn and other cereals.
and has also been applied in heavier doses
to cotton. These reasons would, there
fore, account for the increased sale Of
fertilizers without any increase In the cot
ton acreage.
"A dry April has retarded termination
In many parts of the state, but recent
rains have been quite liberal, and so per
cent of the crop IS up with a fair stand -"
Touching upon other crops, the COM
missioner adds: 81 regret to learn that
the acreage Of corn is from s TO per
cent. less than last year. The acreage
in oats is reported for the state practi-
cally the same as last year, with the
amount sowed in the fan AZ per cent, and
the prospect fair for a good oat crop.
The acreage of wheat for the state is
9lIa per cent of last year, showing a de-
crease of TO 9 per cent North Georgia,
in the state is grown, shows an acreage
of 81. while it puts the condition and
prospect for crop at l0i per cent, as
compared with last year There is an in
crease of per cent in this crop, with
a good stand, and as sorghum Is re-
ported at 98 per cent. OF last years crop,
the prospect is fair that we will have
plenty of sugar and syrup for home use.
For the state lowland rice-which Is
shows a falling off of 3 per cent, while
upland rice-which grows in every section
of the state-is dropped to the extent Of
per cent.
