GREAT RACE HORSE DEAD;
WILL HAVE A MONUMENT 7
Salvador, WHO Knew Only Three De-
feats in Brilliant Career, Sue
cumbs TO Old Age.

Salvador, 23-year-old son, by imp.
Prince Charlie and Salina, by Lexing-
ton, died as a result of paralysis and
infirmities of old age at James b.
Haggin's Elmendorf farm, near Lex
ington, Ky. The stable in which Saliva
tor died is within a stones throw of
the spot upon which he was foaled as
the property of Daniel Swigert, April
80, 1886.
Haggin ordered that Salvator's feet
be mounted and directed that a coffin
be prepared for him and a grave dug
near Green Hills, in which the famous
racer, immortalizcd in song and story,
was buried. Later 1t is Haggin's in
tention to erect a granite shaft at the
grave.
Salvador, in his three years on the
turf, started in nineteen races, won
sixteen, was second once, third once,
and fourth once. His aggregate win
nings were $113,71O. He made his
first start in the Junior champion at
Monmouth park, August II. 1883. This
race was won by Proctor Knott and
1t was the only one in which Salvador
was ever unplaced.
Proctor Knott beat him again by
half length in the Futurity.
The following year he finished third
to Longstreet and Proctor Knott IN
the race for the Omnibus stakes. He
won the Flatbush, Maple, Tuckahot
and Titan stakes as a two-year-old
and the Tidal. Realization, Lorillard
Jersey handicap. September stakes
and two purses as a three-year-old.
He began his four-year-old form by
winning the Suburban handicap, fol
lowed by the memorable match fol
$4,000 a side, in which he beat Tenny {
nose over the mile and a quarter route
walked over for the Monmouth cup
beat Tenny four lengths for the Cham
payne stakes, and closed his caree
| by running a mile on the straigh
course at Monmouth park in l:35R
which stands to-day as the American
record. In the stud, however, Salvato
was not a great success. The bes
of his get was the Futurity winner
SaYable. For the last four or fiv,
years he has been pensioner at FL

NOTES OF THE ORCHARD.

There is no danger of overstocking
the market with small fruits, and
there is little competition for the man
who grows the best.
In applying fertilizers to the orchard
spread them evenly over all the
ground Roots of mature trees extend
over all the area.
Give fruit trees plenty of light, air.
room and root feeding area. There is
more danger of setting trees too close
together than too far apart.
Many farmers consider their orchard
as strictly a side issue, If they would
give the trees proper attention they
would derive a good profit.
When you prune young apple and
pear trees go slow. Better take two or
three years to get a neglected orchard
in shape than to do it at once.

BEST RESULTS IN TOBACCO
only Choice Individual Plants Should
Be Used and Should Have Me-
dunn to Stout Stalk.

The selection of seed plants in the
field from among the growing crop
gives best results in tobacco seed inn
provement according to experiments
conducted by the agricultural expert
ment station of the University OF Wis
consn. Only choice individual plants
should be selected. The custom of re-
serving a portion of the field for seed
regardless of the character of the
plants should never be practiced
A typical plant should have me-
dium TO stout stalk so as to be able
to uphold the plant during windy
weather. The leaves should be ar.
ranged compactly on the stalk and
should grow close to the stalk. The
broader and more rounded the leaf is,
the more valuable 1t is, since larger
number of binders or wrappers can be
cut from 1t. Prominent ribs are objec
tionable TO the cigar manufacturers.
The leaves should be thin and elias
tic, and a cured leaf should possess
fexibility and elasticity. Good leaves
have little or no leaf stalk and do not
taper from the stem end, but expand
directly from the stalk.
When the plants are ready to flow
err all side shoots and all flowers that
DO not rise from the central stalR
should be removed. permitting only
the early central flower clusters tC
produce seed Flowers growing from
the side shoots do not produce as
strong seeds as do central shoots.

sheep require reasonably dry eli

but IT often happens that farmers un-

II sheep are kept on such land for any
length of time, trouble is sure to fol

SWEET POTATO CROP
Should Be Grown in Every Home
Garden Unless Space Very
Limited.
How They Should BE Planted and cui.
tivated-.-May BE Kept for Long
Time II Wrapped In Paper
and Placed In Cool,
Dry Place.


Sweet potatoes should be grown in
every home garden unless the space
is very limited. Twenty to so feet of
row will give nice treat for many
meals, and a larger space can often
be devoted to this crop. Sweet pota-
toes are at their best on a rich, sandy
loan, but they can be grown on other
kinds Of soil nearly as well as on
sand. The requisites of a suitable soil
are that It be friable, well drained
and rich I'm plant food, writes G, w.
Waid. in Orange Judd Farmer Sweet
potatoes will not grow well In a soil
that is watcr-logged or which is stiff,
tenacious, or badly run down.
Plants can usually be purchased at
80 90 80 cents a 100. Unless a person
expects to plant several hundred II Is
not advisable to grow them. The
ground should be prepared before the
plants are secured. The soil should be
plOwed and worked deeply There Is
no necessity for ridging for sweet po-
tatoes. as was formerly thought neces-
sary, as just as good crops can be
grown on level as on ridged soil.
Where the soil is very stif the pota.
toes can be dug more easily If the soil
Is ridged than when grown on the
level.
AS soon as the plants are secured
they should be planted. A good way
to plant is TO make holes with point.
ed stick. place the plants in the holes
and pack the soil firmly about the
roots. BE sure that no open spaces
are left at the bottom of the holes. A
spade may be used instead of stick
If the soil is not firm enough to hold
open when a stick is used.
The cultivation of sweet potatoes
should be about the same as any other
garden crop. The vines should never
be allowed to take root. To avoid this
they should be lifted every few days
Sometimes the vines are wrapped
| around the hill. If the growth of vine
is too rank the ends should be clipped
This will throw the strength into the
roots. Potatoes should never be left
In the ground until the tops freeze. as
little frost on the tips of the pota
toes will cause them to rot. Sweet po
tatoes may be kept for long time II
they are wrapped, each by itself, In
paper and laid away in a cool, dry
| place.
