LEADING sIREs OF 1904.
AIIerton Heads the List of Sires of
n East sTrotters and PAGERS. - Al

New York, Oct. 1S.-It is, of course,
yet too early for a correct and COM
plete tabulation of the years new 2:30
performers, but the present relative
rating of speed SireS will probably not
shift a great deal. The number of new
standard performers for this year will
probably fall short of last years total,
and it seems doubtful if the leading
sires of this year will equal in number
of new performers the leading sires
of last year.
AS the score now stands Allerton,
2:09H, leads in the number of new
ones, with thirteen to his credit, none
of them as yet in the 2:20 list.
Mckinney, 2:11 u, comes next with
nine new ones, all of them but two in
the 2:20 list, four of them in the 2:15
list. Including his reductions, he has
seven new ones in his 2:20 list seven
new ones in his 2:15 list. and three
new ones in his 2:10 list.
Margrave, 2:15 ", also has nine new
ones, a greater number than any other
sire ever put in the list in his four
teenth year.
A remarkable showing is that made
by the Pancoast family representative.
Parole, 2:16. He clearly leads all
early speed sires of the year, having
seven new standard performers to his
credit, six of them trotters and all
3-year-olds and under. Also a 2-year-
old and 3-year-old entering the list
last year have lowered their records,
giving Parole six 3-year-olds and one
2-year-old which have performed in
standard time this season.
Axte1l is making his usual good
showing this year, while his sons are
leading the sons of any other sire of
his age, and his daughters have added
greatly to their former remarkable
showing as speed producers.
Bobby Burns, 2:19%, is we'll up to-
ward the top for the year, with eight
new performers and five reductions.
The California owned stallion, Nut
wood Wilkes, 2:16 II, leads the Pacific
coast group of sires for the year. with
seven new ones two of them better
than 2:20.
Coastman, 2:0SH, has added an
even half-dozen, one in 2:0SN and
his get have won good pile of money
this year. The final figures will prob
ably show a dozen or more sires with
ten or more new ones to their credit.

Big Yield of Apples.

Probably the biggest yield of apples
per acre in the county was harvested
by Sherman Ploughe. The apples are
all in storage and an accurate state
ment of the yield can be made. There
is in the old orchard one and a half
acres of ground. From this there was
picked and stored LABS bushels of APP
pies. This makes a remarkable yield
of 1000 bushels of apples to the acre.
The trees were planted in 1884.
They were carefully trimmed and Gull
tivated, and although forty feet apart
1t is with difficulty that one can get
around in the orchard. The trees are
immense size, big bodies, big spread
limbs and open enough to allow the
light to get to the fruit to color it WE'LL
ground is good and rich and the
fall of the leaves year after year has
made a rich mulch on the ground that
keeps the soil moist, even in dry
weather. 1t is probably the largest
yield per tree of any orchard in the
county, and in fact it would be hard to
beat anywhere. No value has ever
been put on the orchard as it is not
for sale.-Hutchinson Independent.
