Comme nts.

l.. p. d. Yost, of Canton. owner OF
the noted trotting mare. Miss Rose
will enter her in $4,000 worth of stake
races this season. She is already en-
tered in the Hiram Woodruff 2:2O class
at New York. for purse of $4,000,
and Saturday her owner sent off a
nomination for the Queen City stake
of $4,000 to be trotte1 a. Buffalo.
Other entries will be made as the en-
tries close
Mr.. Yost will go to Cleveland Sun
day to complete arrangements for the
training and driving of the mare. He
will place her in the hands of Vance
Nuckles If proper arrangements can
be made. Last year Miss Rose was
able to trot close to 2:1O. This year
she is stronger and in better shape
than ever and II nothing goes wrong
she ought to be able to give an ac-
count of herself even in the fast class
es that she has been entered.
She is being logged every day and is
ready for stiff track work right now.
The American Horse Breeder says
that Scott Croy, at the Village Farm,
has AZ young horses under training.
Croy Is we'll known in Canton, having
been located here several years.
1t is altogether likely that the PAGER
Pop. 2:17h. will be placed in the care
of the same trainer who handles Miss
Rose. He was good winner last year
and is expected to go faster this.
Peter Graber. the well known horse
man, a few days ago shipped from
Middlebranch, Stark county, 20 of the
best draft horses that have ever been
sent out from the county. Trey
weighed from 16O0 to 1000 pounds and
were almost perfect in conformation.
Thy were principally Normans.
The farmers of this county have
learned from experience that it does
not pay to raise scrub horses. They
are breeding either high grade road
sters along trotting lines OF heavy
draft horses. Some few raise coach
ers. but 1t is difficult to find good
stock of this description in this part
of the state.
1t has been demonstrated that IL
farmer wants TO raise good stock, he
must have good bred mares. Former
ly mares that would not sell we'll were
kept on the farms and used for breed
ing purposes. The result was that
the faults of the dams were transmit
ted to the offspring. and many crippled
animals were raised. These would
not sell, and many stockraiser gave
up In disgust and declared that horses
did not pay. But the careful breeder
soon learned that by retaining the
hest for breeding purposes. whether in
draft or trotting lines. good colts
could be raised as cheaply as beef
cattle and brought at last twice as
much at maturity,
The humane societies of the east are
demanding that the national congress
pass law prohibiting the selling or
exporting of horses from the United
States to any other country to be used
in war. George T. Angel. of the
Massachusetts, humane society. Is au-
thority for the statement that England
bought In this country 77.1c1 horses
which were sent to South America to
be used In the operations against the
Beers. and that the bones of the
greater part of them are bleaching un-
der African skies, their flesh having
been eaten by wild beasts and vul-
lures.
