Lenti1s.

According TO NJ vendrout Of Calais, tho
north of France cultivates a considerable
quantity of leniils for animal food, espe-
cially for horses On almost every farm
people SOW In Septembe- a mixture called
"hivernache," composed OF one-half Of
rye, one-fourth Of vetch and one-fourth %
lentils Tho crop Is ripe In July, and In
the autumn IL reported TO be one OF the
best stimulants for horses when they have
the heaviest work to do. It spares the
oats at the moment when oats are scarce,
the old stock being exhausted and the new
crop not 1T for feed. This mixture offers
great advantages because the rye has grain
at the top of the bunch, vetch In the mid
die. and the lcutils, about one foot high,
give rich food at the bottom Of the bunch,
where straw has rarely any nutritive quail
tiles. II 1t Is given whole, the animals
ind everywhere good food, and II IL Is
chopped the mixture n moro regular.
Sometimes cows are fed with this "hiver-
nache" when the meadow grasses are scarce
and poor, and the milk at once becomes
moro plentiful and richer In butter.

Now Those VINO Cannot Attend the Races
Lay Their MONEY.
The great majority Of people cannot at
tend race meetings, except once or twice
year, when these take place In the district
IN which they reside. But they can bet up
on them none tho loss to the fullest extent
The great modern development OF betting
has sprung up under what Is known as
the starting price" system. Any one liv-
ing In Birmingham, soy, who wishes to
back horse which Is running In race ut
York, goes to starting price bookmakor
and deposits his stake, which is the amount
he will lose II the horse runs unsuccessful
ly. II the horse wins, he receives the odds
laid against 1t at the moment Of the RAGS
starting, which are accurately reported In
the newspapers. Nine-tenths Of all the
betting In the country Is done In this way,
and the numbers who patronize the system
are enormous. The we'll to do man who bets
In sovereigns communicates with his book
maker by letter. telegraph or telephone, OF
perhaps meets him at club. The small
bookmakers, who subsist upon the shil
lings OF workingmen, do their business In
the streets, where they are constantly
bounced upon by the police, to be brought
up and fined. The men who do what
might be termed middle class trade, II
sums ranging from half q crown 10 half
sovereign, have agents In various guises
The hacker hands his 8 shillings perhaps
to a restaurant waiter, who conveys II K
q harmless looking tailor's shop littl'
way down the street, and the tailor's DO,
transmits 1t to the bookmaker wherever
the latter's quiet retreat may be.
The vigorous and well intentioned effort
of public authorities to rcpress betting
cannot be said to have had, In the aggre
gate, any very substantial effect As fas
as one channel Is stopped another ingen
ious device takes its place, AID although
It may be driven under tho surface Its vol
ume II not rally diminished. 1t can onl
be hoped that, as other vices In social his
tory have done, 1t Is only running ten
porary course, to become attenuated an
