GOSSIP OF THE TURF.

The announcement is made that Gen
eral McLewee's horses. Gold Heels and
Major Daingerfeld may be sent to Eng
land to race. 1t is said that the owners
of the two horses have left 1t with their
trainers as to whether or not the thor
oushbreds shall be sent abroad. While
Americans are always glad to see native
racers win laurels in other countries. IT
is to be hoped that the two horses named
will not go to England, inasmuch as we
have too few good horses now racing in
this country. The owner OF the runners
should profit by the experience of others
and hesitate long before sending valu-
able animals so far away into differ
ent climate. The American horses that
have won races abroad can be counted
on ones fingers, while those that have
been sent there and failed are numerous,
1t is hardly probable that the two rae
ers will go. as Matt Allen is TOO shrewd
a trainer to take chance abroad when
he has a sure thing In this country.

Chicks and Storms


Sometimes wonder that people sue
coed in raising any chickens at all,
says writer in a poultry paper. A
neighbor had about $50 chicks from one
to five weeks old running at large In
the yards and orchards, and the pros
pect for raising the entire lot seemed
bright as monday. Sunday the family
drove over to the farm of a relative, six
miles distant, to spend the day. About
noon cloud swung over the locality
and dropped it's contents of hail and
food in the space of about twenty min
utes. On their return home two hours
later they found seventeen live chick
ems. All the rest of the $50 were lying
about the orchard and yard stiff and
cold.
During tie past fifteen years have
lost about fifty chicks by storms. My
loss has been small because the hens
are kept in their coops whenever there
is the slightest indication of rain. Aft
er the hens are removed the chicks are
kept in quarter acre lot until they
get sense, enough to come in when it
rains. My neighbors suffer the greatest
loss during the two or three weeks aft
er the hens are removed. Their chicks
wander away from shelter, and sud-
den storm confuses them. They hide
among grass or weeds and drown.
have found that it pays to keep them
in a small yard until they learn what
to do when rain comes on, and even
after that it is always safest to keep
them in when there are strong indica-
tons Of storm before night.

sswhat Is an Expert 2"

"You often speak Of expert poultry
men," says a correspondent. "Now
please tell us-what is an experts?
We must confess that the question
came with something of shock, for
really it never heretofore occurred to
US that any one who knew the meaning
Of the common word expert" would
not know what was meant when 1t
was used to describe poultryman.
But as we think it over in the light
of some discussions recently taking
place in our columns it does not seem
so strange that some confusion should
exist.
Properly speaking. an expert poultry
man Is one whose experience and train
ing have qualified him for some branch
of poultry keeping. Such a man is an
expert in his particular line. Some are
expert In several lines. If there is one
who may fairly claim to be expert in
all lines, he has not yet been located.
But some recent communications ap-
pearing in these columns have treated
of experts" as a species Of parasites
among poultrymen. Some of our CORE
spondents have had dealings with men
who professed experience and skill they
did not possess, and so seem to have
arrived at the conclusion that none Of
those claiming to be accomplished
poultrymen is SO in reality. Thus it
has happened that the term expert
poultryman" has sometimes appeared
as a derogatory phrase..Farm Poul-
try.
