RECORDS
BROKEN
Lexington TrOtS Start
in Most Promising
Manner.
Peter VOIO Established Worlds
Record Monday.

The trotting meeting which be-
gan Monday at Lexington will
doubtless prove the greatest one in
the history of the track. There
were four race carded and all fur
nished many thrills. In the Wal
nut Hall Cup race Brighton AK
worthy had won two heats when
Mr.. Schiller, driver of Peter Nc
Cormick formerly owned by John
Mccormick, of this city, in some
manner drove his horse into his
sulky causing Peter Mccormick
to fall over the infeld fence and
also breaking down the sulky of
Bright Axworthy after this heat
the judges placed Bright Axworthy
last and distanced Peter McCor-
mick. This decision was hardly
fair or just as it stands to reason
that Mr.. Schiller who is a crippled
man would not Intentionally drive
his horse into another and take Il
chance at losing his own life as
we'll as that of his valuable horse
and if either horse was permitted
to start both of them should. The
race was eventually won by Fan
Patch with Bright Axworthy sec
ond and Marigold third.
The 2.10 trot brought out a field
of fourteen starters with Bon To-
lock favorite and after dropping
the first two heats the bay gelding
came on to win in straight heats
establishing worlds record for a
gelding winning the fifth heat in
2.O64, Martha Bellini second, DR..
Throne third. Most interest was
conferred in the two-year-Old
Futurity, Peter Volo was first
C h dice with Lady Wanetka
second. The first heat the five
starters were sent away badly,
Alma Forbes formerly owned by
j. r. Mcgowan. of this city, be-
ing given the worst of the start
an d Immediately after getting
away made a break and was forced
to step the last half in 1.02 in
order not to be distanced, Lucille
Spie" drew the flag in this heat.
In the next heat Peter Volo and
Lady Wanetka set the pace which
was killing one and Peter Volo
finished the race just in front of
the mare in 2.O4l which is Il faster
mile that, either two or three
year old trolter ever went before
with Princess Media and Alma
Forbes getting the flag. 1t was
truly most wonderful race. ANY
one of the starters could have
beaten 2.l0 and by being defeated

ARRANGE BEDDING FOR HORSE
saled Shavinss and Sawdust Are Best,
Everything Considered-Straw Is
Too Valuable.

Always place bedding toward the
side and rear of the stall, as a horse
lies well backward and on its side.
Should the horse kick and scratch
the straw too far back. place a coarse
cocoanut-hber mat under the straw
about where the hooks of the horse
lie and there will be no further trou-
BILE. Otherwise, the hooks may be
capped and injured.
Wheat straw is good for bedding,
rye next and barley is tabooed, while
oats is too soft. Besides, horse likes
oat straw and may be tempted to eat
unsanitary bedding, the salty taste Of
ammonia proving agreeable to a de.
PRAYED appetite.
Baled shavings and sawdust are
best. everything considered; their use
stopping indigestion caused by eating
bedding. Straw, baled hay, old swale
and such matter rolls up too much,
which fact, together with the steadily
increasing value of straw, makes It
almost too valuable for bedding in the
horse barns

ing braces. At their forward ends two
short pieces of by As (E) are bolted
that strike against the rack as it is
being driven between the frames, thus
bringing up the lifting frames and
raising the rack off the wagon. Two
crosspieces of by As (D) are bolted
lengthwise to the posts to give the
frames rigidity. Two blocks (F) are
bolted at the forward ends of D to
stop the forward movement of the
lifting frame. These are placed a lit
tie past the center so as to lock the
frame while up. Two pawls notched
at one end are bolted underneath the
rack frame with the notched ends
against the rear bolster of the wagon.
This prevents the rack slipping back
as it rises from the wagon.

ERADICATING LICE ON SWINE
Worse Than Useless to Dope Animals
With Killer Without Disinfecting
Pens and Bedding.

(By T. f. BAKER, Veterinarian, Idaho
Experiment Stauon)
A pig weighing $50 pounds will have
approximately u pnts of blood, each
pint containing 1850 drops, or little
over 80 900 drops of blood. If louse
abstracts a drop day and the pig is
boarding several thousand lice, it Is
easy to see where the profits go when
hogs don't pay"
1t is worse than useless to dope the
pigs with lice killer without disinfect-
ing pens, bedding and in the spring,
the wallow.
First burn all the loose, dry straw,
clean out the manure, spray the pen
floors, walls, beams, troughs and ev-
cry crevice with a ten per cent solu-
ton of formalin or a half gallon of
formalin to five gallons of water.
Creolin may be added to the wallow in
warm weather, say half a pint to a
large wallow.
Then dust on each pig powdered
staphisagria. This will cause the
average louise to homestead else
where.

STAPLE FOOD FOR CHICKENS
Fed Grain Alone-Fowls De-
mand Variety of Feed.

Grain is the staple food for poultry,
and will be used for that purpose as
long as fowls are kept on farms, but
hens cannot give good results on grain
alone. 1t is beneficial to them and will
be at all times relished but the de-
mands of the hens are such as to call
for a variety. In the shells of eggs
as we'll as their composition are sew
eral forms of mineral matter and nitro.
gen, which can only be partially OBJ
tanned from grain.
Even grains vary in composition,
and when fowls are fed on one kind
for a long time they will begin to re-
fuse it, as they may be e-oversupplied
with the elements of the food partaken
and lack the elements that are best
supplied from some other source. For
this reason they will accept a change
of food. which is of itself an evidence
that the best results from hens can
only be obtained by variety of food.
Corn and wheat may be used as food
with advantage, but must be given as
a portion of the ration and not made
exclusive articles Of diet.

Value OF Education,

The question is often asked, "Of
how much value is school training to
farmers from a business standpoint
A recent agricultural survey Of sever.
al townships Of Tompkins county, New
York, made by the College Of Agricul.
ture Of Cornell University has reveal
ed many interesting and suggestive
facts bearing upon rural sociology. To
quote from the summary: THE sur.
yey shows that n high school educa.
ton Is worth as much to a farmer as
$4,000 worth OF per cent. bonds. A
college education is worth nearly
twice MS much"

HOW TO PREVENT OAT SMUT
Grain Should Be Treated With For
maIin Solution in Morning and
Drilled in Same Day.

To prevent oat smut, the grain
should be treated with formalin. 1t
takes about one ounce OF formalin for
every five bushels OF grain to be treat
ed.
Clean a space on the barn floor and
thoroughly sprinkle it with the for
malin solution before spreading the
seed grain. The oats should be run
through the tanning mill twice to re-
move all light grain, as only heavy
clean seed should be sown. Spread
down the seed grain, then sprinkle the
grain with the formalin solution made
as follows: Formalin, one ounce; wa
ter, two and one-half gallons; mix
thoroughly. The solution can be ap-
piled with a fine rose watering pot;
shovel the grain over SO that every
seed is coated with the solution. When
all the grain is coataed, shovel the
grain into round pile and cover with
sacks for not more than two or three
hours, then spread out. and as soon
as the oats will not stick together it
is fit to SOW or drill. The grain should
be treated in the morning and drilled
in the same day. The drill should be
set to drill two and one-fourth to two
and one-half bushels to the acre, as
the oats, having absorbed considerable
water are larger than dry oats. Have
the ground thoroughly mellowed;
drill the oats in with $50 pounds to
the acre of some good bone fertilizer.
Even if the ground is in good order. 1t
will pay to use the fertilizer. The fer
tilizer will ripen the grain early, the
straw will stand up stiff and cannot be
blown down by summer storms and
the yield will be increased fully 10 to
| 70 bushels per acre.

Most Serious Problem.

Infectious abortion among cattle
has become one of the most serious
problems for cattle owners so far as
Infectious diseases are concerned
It is well entitled to rank in import
ance with tuberculosis, hog cholera,
and Texas fever. Two new medical
treatments have recently appeared,
either one Of which may possibly
prove TO be of very great Importance.
One, abortin. is used like tuberculin,
as a diagnostic; and the other is a
vaccine, which It is hoped will i'm
munize heifers against the infection.
There is not sufficient reliable infor-
nation available as yet, upon which
to Justify any definite statement
Breeders should keep these things in
mind and watch for future develop
ments.

COLD IN
THE HEAD
Is the First Chapter In the History
Of Chronic Disease.

A cold in the head is the first chap
Ter In the history of disease and death.
This has been SO often repeated that
there are few people indeed who have
not witnessed many examples Of 1t.
A cold in the head is rarely severe
enough to confine vigorous person
10 the house. AS rule, 1t ends in
recovery without any treatment. This
has led many people to regard a cold
IN the head as of no importance. 1t Is
terrible mistake, however, to pass
by cold in the head as a trivial mat
ter. Every case should be treated.
Those who have used Peruna for
such cases will testify unanimously
that a few doses is sufficient to re-
move every vestige of the cold. How
much better it is to treat a cold in this
way than it Is to allow it to go on and
On for weeks, perhaps months, leaving
effects that will never be eradicated.
Yet there are those who neglect to
Jake Peruna for cold in the head.
This neglect is due to the false notion
that a cold in the head is hardly worth
noticing.
A cold in the head Is in reality a
case of acute catarrh. 1t ought to be
called SO, in order to awaken people
rom their lethargy on this subject. In
large per cent. Of cases cold in the
qead will end in chronic catarrh. Un-
less properly treated with some such
remedy as Peruna, perhaps so per
cent. of cases of cold in the head will
lay the foundation for chronic catarrh.
A tablespoonful Of Peruna should be
taken at the very first symptom Of
cold IN the head. Usually where the
cold is not very severe tablespoonful
of Peruna before each meal and at bed
time is sufficient 1t may be neces-
sary, however, where the attack is
more serious, to keep strictly in the
house and take tablespoonful Of
Peruna every hour. Younger people,
feeble or delicate women, should take
teaspoonful every hour.
