Vernon's record Of q quarter mile
at a two-minute clip, taken when he
was FIVE years old, was something un-
heard of at that time His best pae-
ing record of 2:l5 was made at Hills
boro in 1906, when he went a mile in
2:I2A. His trotting mark was 2:201s
Vernon was famous sire, thirteen
of his get having race records, among
them Slippery Merriam, 2:29A; Earl
A., 2:09A Luke Vernon, 2:l012. He
was the sire of the dam of Nutline.
2:121l, bred by Nels Miller of Viola.
who enjoys the unique distinction of
holding the worlds record in a race
that had to go nine heats before fin
ally being determined The qualities
of tenacity and endurance necessary
TO this performance were directly in
herited from Vernon, who could take
heat after head without SEEMING to feel
fatigued
That Vernon could live to the ripe
old age of 80 after going through
years of the hardest kind of track
work, was in a large measure due to
the tender care and affection showered
upon him by Mr.. Minshall As Frank
gave the above facts about old Yer
non to the Censor editor, his eyes were
filled with tears, and we would have
been ashamed of him if it had been
otherwise Frank says that Vernon
was nearer human than any horse he
ever knew-and if there is horse
heaven, Vernon is there

Vernon County people received exith
a pang OF regret the news of the pas
sing of Vernon" F. NJ. MinshalPs
veteran racer and in his day one of the
best known track horses in Wisconsin.
Old Vernon had reached the advanced
age of 81 years, and though for many
years past has not appeared in races
because of his age, yet he has been
tenderly cared for by Bad Minshall,
and even up to two or three years ago
has delighted fair audiences by trot-
ting down the home stretch before the
admiring crowds-with Frank in the
sulky.
Vernon was foaled in 1889 by Ar
tillery No $50, bred by Metcalf of
Kentucky, Frank getting him from
that state when a two-year-old. Yer
non was descendant of that greatest
of all race horse sires, Hamiltonian 10.
Belinda of New York, a horse of world
wide fame, was closer than a half
brother of Vernon, and he was the sire
of Atlantic Express, who sired Media,
who recently trotted a mile in 1:5915
and is expected to break the worlds
record this year. Frank says that it
was really unfortunate for the grand
old horse that he fell into his hands,
as ne was gren at the racing game
when he purchased Vernon, and both
he and the horse had much to learn.
Frank is confident that in the hands of
a veteran trainer from the start, Yer
mons record could have been material
ly lowered.

HERE'S ANOTHER Big CALF

Editor Censor Ole .Sherry's
query that we had a three-quarter
Holstein bull calf which we did not
weigh at birth but when twelve days
old weighed one hundred, seventy
three (173) lbs, and when % days old
was taken to market and weighed one
hundred ninety (190) pounds. We
have a picture of the calf beside its
dam taken when it was 20 days old if
he would like to see it. The calf was
owned by Mrs. Mary Moore and cared
for on tn efarm of John w Currier in

over size for veal, so did not give it all
to eat it wanted.

COW TESTING NOTES

Cow testing association reports for
the month of July show decided de-
cline in production in practically all
herds. The explanation for this NAV
be given by the fact that many pas
lures have grown to rank grass and
little new grass was produced, also to
an abundance of flies. Where some
green pasture feeds as oats and peas
or green alfalfa or corn or mill feed
was added TO the ration the produc-
ton has been maintained to a level
very comparable to previous months.
The Washington Cow Testing Asso-
citation reports as follows: 1.-THE as
ISOLATION has purchased eighty tons of
bran and twenty tons of oil meal. The
regular picnic was scheduled for NY
rick's Park, August 18th. The high
herd for the month is owned by Aug
ust Hammes and has an average pro-
duction of 1856 lbs of fat in 500. , lbs.
