GROWING GUINEA FOW.s.
Increasing Market for the Birds fo-
the Table

The Department of Agriculture
Washington. in bulletin Just issued
announces growing market fol-
! guinea fowl as table birds and sug
gests that they might we'll be bred
IN the United States more extensively
either along with other poultry. or in
larger numbers by themselves. The
report which gives summary OF
what is characterized as heretofore
meagre and scattered data or the
feeding. management. and uses Of the
bird. says there is reason to believe
that the Improvement in guinea varie-
ties will continue and that their
breeding will become an increasing
~ important branch of the poultry
Industry. The report says:
The birds do we'll with comparative,
ly little care. and in spite of the half
wild habits which they may re-
tain which allowed to range. they
may be trained to more domestic
ways and readily fed and fattened
like other poultry They are excep-
'ionally hardy Their noisy and quar-
relsome habits are commonly thought
TO give warning of hawks or other
intruders in the poultry yard. Guinoas
eat such large numbers of insects
that they are often useful in helping
to destroy these pests. They also eat
many wild seeds. and in this way
are of value
There is already a fair demand for
guinea FOWL. especially in New York
and other cities in the eastern
United States. Very young birds for
broilers bring good prices early in the
season in city markets. while the
older ones are easily sold throughout
the autumn and winter They may
be prepared for the table like ordi-
nary fowl or like game birds. have
very much the same food value az
and are as economical when
bought at about the same price pc.

NEW YACHTING RULE.
Yachtsmen Figuring on It's Effect on Amer

To the layman the questions OF rules OF measure
ment and rating and classification OF yachts have
always been more less OF a mystery Al the
same time any man having the spirit OF fair play
in sport will admit that any rule which permits the
building Of a safe and speedy type OF yacht which
by reason Of form and rating under that rule. is
qualified to contest in certain class IN any club
race is good rule and a fair ruia
Such uniform rule OF measurement bv which
the rating Of yacht may be determined and fts
classification fixed IS the that was In use last

TROTTING AND PACING.

The stewards Of the Grand Circuit were evil
IDENTITY afraid 70 take the bull by the horns in
the matter Of adopting a uniform method OF
racing for trotters and PAGERS. Reform in this
line was needed and badly needed. but in the
face Of growing demand for some legislation
IN this respect they did nothing. 1t begins TO
look as If the present board was not fully quail
led 70 work out the destiny Of the sport Own
ers and trainers are not in sympathy with the
go as you please" policy, and it IS little Won
der II is too much 10 ask Of any horse to trot
or pace eight or nine heats IN one afternoon, and
this is what the three in five heat plan often
means. Further than that. a horse cannot be
properly trained for dash racing at one track
two IN three heat races at another and the long
three IN five at stil another Still, the stewards
decided that 1T was not expedient to adopt
fixed or arbitrary method OF racing" Light har-
ness hoTsemen are naturally disappointed, but
there is no help for il, and the Grand Circuit
must he conducted along the same lines as last

this policy Of letting well enough alone is not

are some pessinists who believe the sport is

plainly shown at the recent trotting horse

stronger. and no better indication could be given
of general prosperity than that afforded This
is no reason however, for the optimistically IN
Clined to sit down and do nothing, which might
tend to make il more popular 1t would haVe
done no harm TO experiment; II might have done
a great deal Of good. 1t seems a pity that the
stewards did not see f1t TO take a forcetul posi-
ton instead Of one Of inaction.
While on this subject there is unfortunately
another cause for regret, although the stewards
are not in this case involved, except, perhaps,
indirectly. Reference is made to the absence or
q Grand Circuit meeting in the metropolitan dis
trict again this year. 1t is said that the meet
ings at Empire City and Brighton Beach did
not pay IN 1904. This seems strange, as there
are hundreds Of admirers of the sport in this
district 10 say nothing of an aggregate mem
bership Of close TO two thousand in the New
York Driving Club. the New-YOrk Road DriV-
ers' Association. the Pleasure Drivers Associa-
ton Of Brooklyn the Parkway Driving Club and
the Bay Ridge Driving Club. With so many
lovers Of the trOtter II seems that there must be
something else at fault than lack Of interest,
which lack of patronage means. 1t Is not un-
likely that the fault lies in the conduct OF the
sport More push, greater enthusiasm.
stronger initiative, may be needed, and II so
should he provided It should be the aim OF the
stewards Of the Grand Circuit TO hold meet
ing I'm New-York even If il must be conducted
at loss for two or three years. This. Of course,
is not directly in their province perhaps nut
they could do much TO encourage II, ana the
sport would be the gamer Trotting is called
by its most enthusiastic followers the nauohdl
sport II is far from that under the present
conditions although il has fOurished here as in
no other country. II It was national sport
there would be no reason to express regret that
the metropolitan district was without Grand
Circuit meeting for 1906.

FAVORS FEWER HEATS.
j. Y. Gatcomb Wants Shorter Races
on Grand Circuit.

J. Y. Gatcomb the owner OF Audubon Boy.
1894, which will be sent after the worlds pac-
ing record next summer. has come out strongly
in favor Of fewer heats and shorter races for
trotters and PAGERS. Mr.. Gatcomb. who is well
qualified TO discuss this question, protests
against the three in five system as follows:
have always advocated short racing and paying
the winner large portion OF the purse and doing
away with pool selling, that a horse must win
70 get the most money. Long races ruin
horses, both for racing purposes and for breeding
driving more good out OF the trotting business
than anything else. II has always been that
morse with much OF a record had little earning
capacity and was not worth much to a poor man
as a racing proposition Consequently many a horse
has escaped a record because the owner or driver
when he did think he could win the race know
Ing that with more work and education his horse
would be most valuable in the slow classes, where
all OF the big money was hung up.
think II would look like bad policy for any
Grand circuit track to run the three in five
when. II trotter or PAGER is to continue valuable
as a racing proposition, shorter races must take
the place OF the barbarOus plan OF racing horses
all the afternoon and into the evening. II not the
same feeling will exist against the sport has
heretofore.
I am satisfied that If track managers were
Obliged TO have short racing; TO offer most money
for the fastest horses: good. clean grandstands
with comfortable seats; the grounds attractive,
instead OF the public being obliged TO look at rocks
sandhils and mudholes: everything around the
stable kept IN appls pie order, drivers and those
caring for the horses dressed neat and nice, the
trOtting and pacing game would have the following
and respect Of every healthy minded person.
