HORSE RACES
Blue Ribbon Races at Detroit Com.
menCeS July 81

With the greatest number and the
fastest horses that ever have been
named in its events the blue ribbon
meeting, which will be held on the
Detroit track, July 81 to August 4,
should be the best of the series of
speed carnivals that have extended
over period of more than a quarter
of century
Not only is the entry superior in
every way to that of years gone by,
but the arrangement of the program
is such that it cannot fail TO interest
those who live outside of the metro
polls. Every day has one or more
features that would be billed as the
star events of other meetings, so that
those who wish 70 see the blue ribbon
trotters and PAGERS will make no mis-
take by picking any afternoon of the
FIVE.
On Monday, July 81, the opening
day, the Chamber Of Commerce stake
of $4,000 for PAGERS will be one of
the four events. Tuesday is TO be
known as Futurity Day and the three
year-olds will race for $4,000. In
addition, the great field of 2:11 class
trotters will meet.
Wednesday is NJ & NJ. Day, and
this $4,000 classic never promised to
be a better contest than it does this
year. The 2:O4 pace is also on for
decision that afternoon and the two
year-olds will trot to new record.
The trotting free-for-all on Thurs
day will bring together the greatest
field of horses with extreme speed
that ever scored for the word and the
pacing free-fo all on Friday has a
wonderful lot of fast ones OF that
gait. In all there are 20 events and
the purses aggregate $4,000.
With such a splendid list of entrie.
and such sensible arrangement OF
the events the blue ribbon meeting
appeals to the patrons of the sport
in all parts OF the country. The big
track will be at its best and in view
of the advanced condition of the
horses Detroit first week in the
grand circuit will be the greatest OF
the year.

II may be that even while running

the grit they like, or enough of it.
Fine gravel is not the proper grit
for poultry. They want a sharp ma.

On the average farm. fifty hens
bring as big returns as the best COW

There is danger OF mating too many
hens with one male and there Is also
danger of mating too few for best
results.
The length of time that a new male
has been placed in pen of hens will
have something to do with the fertility
of the eggs.
Poultrymen should remember that
hens should always be kept busy
searching for food, so that they may
get sufficient exercise.

1t is gratifying to learn that Michigan
potatoes stand so high in the opinion Of
hotel-keepers in New York that they
are given distinction on menu cards.
This is great feather in the cap of
Michigan's potato growers. Wisconsin
we are told is becoming jealous of Mich
igan and intends to compete for this
New York honor. To this end Wiscon-
sin is distributing among the farmers OF
that state pure bred seed. If Michigan
holds her own against organized effort
to wrest the honors from her, 1t will be
necessary that her farmers cultivate
this crop with increased energy and de-
termination to keep in the lead. Buyers
and shippers should be further impressed
with the equality of the product. Great
care should be taken in the selection Of
seed in the preparation of the soil in cul-
tivating harvesting and storing the
crop.-Cheboygan Tribune.
