fraud perpetrated by mob Of
scoundrelly betting men, who entered
Running Rein, the horse which passed
the post first, relates London Tit.
Bits.
Lord Bentinck helped the owner Of
the second, Orlando, to sustain the OBJ
lection he lodged against the winner.
Many interesting anecdotes are told
of the formers perseverance in prov
ing incontestably that the supposed
Running Rein was none other than a
four-year-old named Maccabaeus.
In this Dirty Derby" as II has been
called. another four-yearold named
Leander also ran, but he had to be de
stroyed immediately after the race as
he broke his leg coming round Tatten-
ham corner.
A dead heat was seen for the first

heat, that between. st. Gatien and Har-

dreds of city folk. The animal looked
Just like an ordinary COW when she
arrived from New York state last

It's another thing. The COW produces
for Lacosta each and every day 2l
gallons of the finest milk.
The morning milking yields nine
gallons and the evening IL gallons
The udder'of this COW is marvellous

washtub, and drags so low that 1t is
with difficulty the milking is done, La
costa gets all his stock from the east

has been yielding 10 gallons Of milk

French AnrlcuIture.

Since the outbreak of the war the
French government has been fully
alive to the paramount Importance of
the agricultural problem. which has
been rendered all the more difficult
of solution by the drain which the
general mobilization made upon labor.
In spite of the great sacrifices made
by the women OF France, who since
the war began, have undertaken agri-
cultural work hitherto performed by
men, there was for long period n
serious lack OF hands. This has been
remedied to a great extent by the
initiative Of NJ. Millerand, the min
lister of war. who put at the disposal
of farmers territorial troops and the
men in the depots who are unfit for
the fighting line. Permission has also
been granted to men in the trenches
to return to the farms for seed time,
while in the zone of the armies off,
GERS in command have ordered sol
diers to render help to farmers when
ever possible.
