Everywhere outside Prussia the heads
of the state stud farms complain that
they have no money. Now they are going
to get more, as the result Of the imperial
governments plan for taxing betting.
This is under a new totalfsateur and
booknaking law which has just been
laid before the reichstag, with Kaiser
wiihelm's. approval. and against the
strong opposition of Germanys chief
sporting authority. the Union Club. The
new law puts betting men under state
control. and makes them partners Of the
state, which. as payment for legalizing
them, will exact percentage OF the bets.
u
Hitherto. the only kind Of betting toll
Grated by law in Germany has been to-
talisateur betting. This system ID almost
universal in Europe. There are no fixed
odds and the money bet on each race is
divided between those who have backed
winners in proportion to their stakes.
The totalisateur is fully legal. and a to-
talisateur bet is a valid contract enforce

staked is deducted before division among
between the imperial treasury and the

cents We resell the hogs for their meat

1t Is the same with the sheep. They
bring US many times as much as the In
dian receives. We have also an agree
ment as to the pastures. by which the In
dams pay US 10 per cent OF the increase
of the sheep each year for their use.
They also pay 20 cents per annum for
the feed Of each llama and alpaca. and 60
cents for each head of cattle. It Is pro-
vided that the sheep and cattle be brand
ed. and that they be counted over at
certain times by the farmer. This is in
order that We may collect our share OF
the stock as it grows up.
Another provision is as to the carry
ing of the crops to the market. We are
fifty-four miles from Cuzco. and, ac-
cording to our contracts. the Indians who
own llamas must take the products Of
the farm to that point or to anywhere
else we may direct without extra pay
than that stipulated in the contract. The
rate we have established for the nifty
four-mile trip to Cuzco is 50 for no
arrobas. or 2.750 pounds. If the goods are
taken to Sicuani they get twice this
amount, but the distance to that point
is 100 miles. The Indians do not have
to work on the farm at the time they
are engaged in Transporting these goods,
and we furnish them food to use on the
way. They will load the grain in bags
upon llamas and drive them to the mar
ket. 1t takes them about a week to go
to Cuzco and back, and they sleep at
