with mods and passing of slips OF paper
indicating that some sportsmen were
backing their opinions with substantial
Investments. but the main crowd in
the stands scarcely gave a thought to the
ruling odds Thousands never moved
from their seats except to stand up and
cheer for their favorites as the horses
were locked together in the closing
strides of "A thrilling race.
The crowd was so thick near the finish
line that steps and aisles were blocked
and for the first time this season the
seats on the roof were utilized by those
who could not get vantage points in the
lower part OF the stand. Even the ex-
elusive clubhouse enclosure was iamfled

have been sparsely occupied. held no
vacant seat during the running of the
races. The inield. wnere the neighhor-

Only the old betting ring was deserted
and this in spite of the endeavor to put
that enclosure to charitable use by a
dansant for the benefit of the Vacation

tickets at half n dollar apiece and then
went on the lawn or grand stand and
promptly forgot there was a dancing
floor at hand. The band played heroi-
caily and lured just two couples on the
floor. while one lonely tea party took
seats for refreshments just before the
last race. The thousands were there for
racing and they spent every moment in
the open air.

TREATING SHEEP FOR WORMS
Pasture Rotation, Combined With
Drugs, 10 Practical Method Of Sue
eessfuiIy Combating Pest.

The stomach worm is the worst pest
Affecting sheep. Lambs are more sus-

because the older sheep are accus-
toned to the presence of the worm.
In the spring. soon after lambing, the
old sheep should each receive q dose
Of one or two ounces of gasoline, fol-
lowed by small dose Of epson salts.
After a day or two they should be
placed In q worm-free pasture, II DOS

ATTENTION TO WORK HORSES
Labor should Not BE Continued for
Long Period Without Good Rest
and Change Of Diet.

Horses at work on the farm should
be given the best Of care, and the
work should not be too severe or
continued for too long time without
giving the horse . rest and change
Of diet. Collars should be examined
frequently to see that they conform
to changes in the size of the neck as
fat changes to muscles, and the
hames should be kept perfectly ad.
justed to the collar. The name should
be kept from under the collar and
the shoulders should be washed At
meal times, preferably with q little
salt in the water. Oats Is the stand
ard grain where available, and mixed
clover and timothy is one Of the best
hays. A little hay may be given at
noon, all the animals will eat up
cleanly over night, and none in the
morning. Water should be given
three times day before feeding, and
1t should be clean enough for the
owner to drink.-Ohio Agricultural
