Improving Horse. in Australia.

In Victoria, in Australia, the agri-
cultural societies have taken up the
matter of horse improvement, and, in
a recent convention, proposed some
rather severe measures. The Aus
tralasian, commenting on the action
of the convention, says:
"The report recommends a tax on
stations, but beyond the registration
of the animals there appears to be lit
tie or no encouragement to horse
breeding The penalty for using an
unregistered stallion-a fine not ex-
ceeding e so for the first offense and
confiscation for a second offense-is
sufficiently heavy to extinguish all, or
nearly all. the worthless sires in the
country. But as this drafting of the
culls is not to be accompanied by any
encouragement in the way of cheaper
ing the services of the registered stall
lions it is not likely to encourage
horse breeding to any appreciable ex-
tent. The absence of the cheap sires
will have the effect of considerably
Iessening the number of mares bred
from, as the owners will not consider
the weeds worth paying the service
fee of a good stallion. Getting rid of
all the worthless stations will doubt
less prove a great advantage, but
something more is wanted to improve
the general horse stock of the country.
The plan adopted by the governments
of European nations is an excellent
one. Stations of the highest class are
purchased, and these are sold to stud
owners at a considerable reduction in
price on the condition that they serve
a certain number of approved mares
at a very moderate fee. The owners
of mares that If bred to a good stallion
are capable of producing useful stock
do not usually send their mares to
weedy stations from choice, but for
financial reasons. If the price of good
sires were brought within their reach
the majority would gladly use high
class sires No scheme that does not
provide for cheapening the services of
registered stations to approved mares
will do much to encourage the raising
of good horses in Victoria. Merely to
tax and register those stations that
are proved to be of value for raising
the owners of such horses than it will
pay a high price for the service OF
those registered stations"
We publish the above for the reason
that we have the identical problem to
deal with in this country. Further
more. if Australia gets to breeding a
high type OF horse the horse raisers
of the United States will find strong
competitor We have been shipping
horses to South Africa How many
would have gone there had there been
an available supply in Australia? We.
too, need to weed out the worthless
sires-

Frauds practiced by meat dealers
have resulted in an investigation OF
Chicago firms by the Health depart
ment and have led to the suggestion
that the preparation of horsefesh for
the market be recognized as an indus
try and be permitted under inspection
and with license, says a Chicago daily
paper Deception on the part of deal
ers who have placed the meat on the
local market as beef has caused both
the investigation and the attempt to
regulate the trade.
Efforts to secure evidence against
the firms have not succeeded thus far.
The meat was traced into the estab
lishment of one large Chicago firm. but
when the health officials secured ac-
cess to the barrels in which 1t had
been packed a substitution of beef for
the horse meat had been effected. The
evidence was incomplete and the case
was dropped. In addition to the large
firm a number of smaller establish
ments have been suspected, upon what
the health officials consider good
grounds, of Securing the meat and i'm
posing it upon their customers as beef.
The meat purchased from the estab--
lishments which kill horses for the
trade is secured at about two cents a
pound The profit to the dishonest
dealer who retails the meat at the
prices charged for beef is immense.
There is one place in Archer avenue
which is recognized by the Health de-
partment without any definite policy
having been established for the regu-
lation of such places in general. In
the case of this dealer the department
is assured that his trade is conducted
honestly He sells to the foreign mar
ket, principally in Sweden, and his
meat is labeled plainly as horse meat.
A Huron (Cal.) correspondent re-
ports that crop prospects have not
been better in five years in that vicin-
ity. Some 5000 acres have been seeded
to wheat and barley, of which about
600 acres have been flooded twice.
There are from 100000 to ESQ 900
sheep on the plains and all are doing
we'll Feed is very good; 1ambing Is
going on, and the estimate is that it
will be from lis to $50 per cent for
lambs Plenty of butchers are travel
ing over the plains, buying sheep.
Sheep men are not anxious to sell.
but those who do sell get good prices.

PEARsoNs' CASH FOR THE WEST,
Chicago Phiianthropist Declares That
the East Already Has Enough.


the East Already Has Enough.
Chicago, May 13.-After 4 tour of
the west, including visits to several
colleges which had been the objects of
his benefactions. DR.. d. X. Pearsons
has returned TO Chicago and an
nounced that he has drawn a line
through Chicago and has disinherited
everything and everybody east OF
that line from any share in the money
he still expects to give away.
Not one penny, DR.. Pearsons says,
ever will go to any institution east of
Chicago. The million or two dollars
which he intends to dispose of within
the next year is all for the west.
DR.. Pearsons' statement was drawn
out partly by the visit of trustee of
Middiebury (Vt) college, who came
here to seek an addition to his endow-
ment fund.
81 came back from Missouri with
my mind made up" said DR.. Pearsons
to reporter. 81 have drawn chalk
line north and south through Chicago
and shall never go east of that line.
81 have not forgotten Chicago, and
I am going to do something handsome
for the city before long. I have my
plans all laid now. But after l saw

NEW SHAMROCK LEFT BEHIND.
Is Beaten by the Older Boat Five
Minutes In Twenty Miles.

Is Beaten by the Older Boat Five
Minutes In Twenty Miles.
London, May 14.-The Shamrock
beat the Shamrock II by five minutes
over 20-mile course.
Mr.. Watson considers the result so
unsatisfactory that he decided off hand
to take the new boat back to South
ampton and to have her docked in or
der to ascertain whether any of the
plates were displaced by the ground
ing on Dean bank last week. Oppor-
tunity will be taken to have her gaff
and mainsail fitted. The work will
proceed night and day until it is fin
ished and the trials will then be re-
sumed at Weymouth.
The defeat of the Shamrock II
causes much disappointment. The
Chronicle says: "Unless Sir Thomas
is hiding her real form there appears
to be no chance of winning the cup.
If yesterdays form was genuine, we
presume the Shamrock I will be chosen
to cross tho Atlantic and, as the races
have been fixed for date earlier in
the year than last time. she may stand
a better chance in the stronger winds"

GOES TO COMMITTEE
CUBAN CONVENTION REFERS RE.
PORT OF COMMISSION.
Majority Now Favor Plat Amendments,
but Action May Be Further Delayed
Until After the Municipal Elections.
Saneuiiy Still Objectins.


Havana, May 14.-The Cuban con-
stitItional convention met yesterday
In secret session and considered the
report of the committee that weGt to
Washington to obtain more definite In
formation regarding the intentions of
the United States government. Gen
eral Sansuily objected to the report
on the ground of incompleteness, point
ing out that the committee made no
recommendations
Juan Gomez moved that the report
be referred to the committee on rela-
tons, whose last report has still to be
acted upon. He admitted that the COM
thrown new light upon the amend
ment, but he thought it only Just that
the committee should be allowed an
opportunity to change the report in
order to conform to the new condi-
tions.
An attempt was made to take an i'm
mediate vote with reference TO the
amendment, but the motion of Senior
Gomez was finally carried, the com
mittee being instructed to act prompt
ly. 1t is expected that several days
will elapse before the amended report
is submitted to the convention. A
movement is on foot to delay action
until after the municipal elections.
A majority OF the committee on re-
lations are in favor of accepting the
Platt amendment.
