The Care of live Stock.

If the testimony of great numbers of
the readers of the New York Tribune
Farmer is fair basis for the forma.
ton of correct opinion, then what is
Known as its Veterinary Department is
everywhere esteemed highly. 1t is,
however, more than a veterinary de
partment. DR.. G. D. Smead, who has
had charge of it for more than five
years, every week answers very many
questions in regard to every variety of
livestock known on the American farm.
not alone prescribing medicines and
treatment, bnt telling how the diseases
lIight have been prevented, and laying
down specific rules for feed and care in
health, in sickness and in GONZALES
@cence. Every farmer keeps some live
stock-good veterinarians are scarce.
Each inquirer is fully answered, but
Or. Smead goes far beyond this; he
believes that any information which
one intelligent farmer needs is also
needed by hundreds and thousands of
others, and he often so broadens his
answer as to make it complete essay
on the suject discussed. A year or
two ago Mr.. B. Walkeen McKeen, of
fryeburg, Me-, said in meeting of
farmers that valuable horse had been
attacked with a disease of which he had
known nothing until he had recently
read of it in The New York Tribune
Farmer what DR.. Smead had taught
him enabled him to save his horse. An
other farmer arose and said he had had
q similar experience. Five or six hun

HUNT CLUB SCANDAL
SETTLED AT LAST

PLAINFIELD. Dec 5.-Following an
exhaustive investigation into charges
preferred by Charles d. Freeman, for
mer master OF the hounds. the Wat
chung Hunt Club. its stewards, and
Fred Alpers. a gentleman rider. all OF
whom were concerned, have been exon
Grated by the National Steeplechase and
Hunt Association. and Freeman's action
is characterized as unjust.
The trouble arose out Of charges made
by Freeman that the meeting last spring
was not properly watched over by the
stewards and by the club officials. and
he demanded that the license of the club
be withdrawn. His action was based on
rumor that Mr.. Alpers, who rode
Freeman's horse, Strongheart, on the
second day Of the meet, had pulled
the animal to allow another horse on
which Alpers had large bet TO win.
Strongheart was one OF seven horses in
the race IN question and finished second.
An investigation Of his record shows, Il
is said. that this was the best finish
ever made by the horse. It developed
that Alpers had placed q bet OF so with
the DOOkmaker on his mount to win.
Diana finished first.
