8 AMONG THE HORSES, Worthless Animals Produced in Droves on the Mon tana Ranges. Maltreatment of Horses as Seen Daily, and Hints as to Remedies. Illinois the Horse State—Her editary Traits— Trotter vs. Bicycle. White Race Horses—lnterest ing 1 Pick-Ups of Equine Lore. Turf. Field andVurm. The assessor leuorts ICO.COO horses in Montana, valued in the aggregate at 14,493,000, which is less than 530 per head. The Live Stock Journal, pub lished at Helena, thinks that this low value is accounted for by the herds of "worthless cay uses that are bred, reared and disposed of in bands, cared for collectively, bred by loose methods and shipped and sold for hardly enough to pay interest on the capital invested in their propagation." It adds: "Many horsemen have little worthless mares, and breed them, simply because they will produce, thinking or car ing little of the lasting effects of the mistake. Such mares never have and never will produce a colt that is good for anything but the saddle, and even for tnat purpose a larger horse is preferable." At one time it was thought that the way to breed up was to turn heavy draft staiiions out with these bands of little mares, but the results of this method of breeding are far from satisfactory. The foals are uneven and badly balanced. Some of them have the large beads and legs of the stallion :iikl the .-mall body and cat hams of the dam. The Live Stock Journal suggests that there is one way to make the range more profitable: "Use a trotting-bred or coach stallion. Either of these are light enough to be out of proportion to their prospective mutes, and still well bred enough to lastingly impress their qualities on the offspring. A trotting-bred stallion, one with good bone and muscle, weighing, say 1,150 to 1,300 pounds, will get high headed, active colts from cayuse marcs. Colts that are large enough to do a pro portion of farm work are active and handsome enough to find a ready mar ket as buirgy animals. The mares of this cioss will stand the infusion of draft blood, and the final object is at tained without first passing through an unprofitable period." This, it strikes us, is good advice. It is a better way to breed up than to unite a thirteen-hand mare with a sev enteen-band stallion. A still better way would be to join the half-bred mare to a trotting stallion of blood lines not close ly related to the first stallion used. Size and uniformity can thus be obtained. Thy stallion, however, should not run with a band or mares. The mare should l>e brought to his paddock. MISTREATING HORSES. Bints for Owners of Trusty Ani mals to Observe. It is not altogether In the feeding of horses that they are mistreated. Many Eiipply them with plenty of hay or fod der, with sufficient grain to keep them in good condition, if the other essen tials necessary to good health and treat ment were supplied. Their quarters are dark, often damp and ill-ventilated, insufficient bedding is provided, and other small tilings essential ,to their comfort, are overlooked. While a less quantity of bedding will be needed during the summer, a suffi cient amount to keep them clean should be supplied. Care should be taken to provide good ventilation, doing this in a way to avoid direct drafts. It is not a good plan to allow a horse to come in heated from work to stand in a draft. The best plan is to give ventilation overhead, but if this cannot be done, windows can be made to answer. These may be made with glass sashes to use during the winter, and wire screens during the summer. Another item should be looked after If there is need, and that Is to avoid, as much as possible, allowing the light to fall directly upon the eyes. A little plan in arranging them with regard to 1 i tcli t and ventilation will aid materially in making them comfortable. The work teams must spend a good portion of their time in the stables, even in the summer when there is plenty of grass. While at work during the summer, it is good economy to keep fat. A fat horse kept at work cannot be comfortable in warm weather, at the same time it is very important to keep him in good condition. It is not a good plan to feed corn as a grain exclusively during the summer, some corn can be used to an advantage, but it is heating, fattening food, and this is a condition to be avoided during the summer. .Make comfortable as far as possible, keep clean and cool, with a pond variety of food so as to keep with a good appetite. In many cases a little care in making comfortable will add considerably to keeping them in good condition. And a horse made comfort able, so as to get the full benefit of rest, will be able to do more and better work. ILLINOIS THE HORSE STATE. More Horseflesh in That Than in Any Other State. Not Kentucky, but Illinois is the great horse state of the Union. Census Bulletin No. 103 gives the number of liorses owned in Illinois on June 1, 1890, at 1,335,259, which is very, nearly equal to the number owned in Ken tucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Missis- Pippi. Texas, Arkansas and Oklahoma put together, and more than twice as many as were owned in the state of Xew York. Kentucky owned but 401,856, Ten nessee 311.843, and no other Southern state reached a quarter of a million ex ei'l't Texas, upon whose prairies 1,025, --876 horses, mostly of the half wild pony Btock, were raised. We have been ac customed to think of the Southerner as a man who lives in the saddle, and of the Easterner as :i man who drives a trotterwhenever he is not bulling or bear ing wheat or railway shares, or loaning money on Western mortgages, but the cold ligures show the states of Illinois and lowa to be possessed ot more horses than all the states of the South, with the District of Columbia and the state of California thrown in. HEREDITARY UGLINESS. iJad Points in a Dam Will Crop Out. A witer gives the following example of hereditary ugliness: I once had a mare that did not kick or jump, nor was she cross; she was of a very ner/ous temperament, what is often termed "high strung." She fretted easily, and would soon tire herself out in the mud. or.when attached to an unusually heavy load, she was easily startled. Two of her foals have proved like her, but others have exhibited other oad quali ties. One would run away if a rabbit jumped out of the hedge, another would kick at anything that approached it trom behind, and kick until the har ness or vehicle was broken. It is easy to trace these bad traits to the same su peruervousucss that characterize I the dam. This mare would usually fly back when the hardest pull came, allowing the load to settle in the mud; she was too nervous to pull steadily and long, and one ol her foals balks when put to a heavy load. I might multiply exam ples, but it wf.U be better for the reader to get them from his own experience and observation, as he easily can. Al most every farmer cau thus bring up abundant evidence that when the dam has bad characteristics the same or other bad characteristics will appear in her offspring. TROTTER VS. BICI'CLE. A Flying Start for the Latter Would Even Things. fifJH The bicyclist and the trotter are get tin together on a speed proposition, and it is likely that the best riders can beat or make a close race with the best trotters if given a flying start,* worth about two and a half seconds in a mile. Zimmerman's fast halves are thus as fast as Nancy Hank's l:04& and three or four bicyclists have pedaled quarters in less than thirty seconds with a Hying start. No trotter has ever shown a pub lic quarter as fast. Here is a table of the best records by both: Miles. Horse Time.

History Tells of One Back in the Sixties. A party of sports were the other night discussing turf matters, when one of them said: "1 go to the race track at least twice a week, and the thought has often occurred to me, 'Has there ever been a white race horse?' 1 have asked this question of a number of old turf men, and only one seems to recollect that there ever had been an all-white race horse. He said that her name was Mary Clark, and to the r/est of his recol lection she ran way oackin the sixties." " 'Was she of any account?' 1 asked. " 'Well, you can bet she was,' he re plied. 'Her career was short, but she was a good one. She went lame after winning a two-mile race, and was never heard of again.' "Now tills is the only case of a white race horse on record that I - know of, and 1 often wonder why it is that there are not mure of them. The sturdiest races of men are fair-haired, as, for in stance, the Germans, the English and the Scotch. They are not all white haired. It is true, but they nearly all ap proach it, being mostly blondes. A white race horse, running with some of the cracks on the Hamlino track, would be a novelty for certain. Of course, if t>uch a thing happened, a red-headed darky boy would have to ride him in order to win. What a strange combina tion this would make, wouldn't it, and how it would queer the bookmakers and the talent?" HORSE PHYSIOGNOMY. Characteristics That Are Well to Boar In Mind. A Roman nose in a horse, like the corresponding aquiline shape in a man, generally indicates strong individuality, often accompanied with great Intelli gence. A straight facial line is q uite as often found with a high degree of intel ligence, but a flush faced horse is rarely anything but a nonentity in character or a fool. A fine muzzle usually denotes a high nervous organization, while a coarse and large muzzle, with small and udn-expansive nostrils and pendulous lower lip means stupidity. A sensitive and trumpet shaped nostril means courage and intelligence, even when, as it does sometimes, it also means heaves. A broad and full forehead and length from eye to ear are good general indications of intelligence, but the eye and the ear are the speaking features of a horse's face. A Timely Suggestion. Spirit of trie Times. < In view of the fact that Allerton has , now twice trotted in 2:()9>^ over the kite-shaped track at Independence, 10., would it not be a wise move on the part of his owner. C. W. Williams, to send him a fast mile at Terre Haute, Lexing ton or any other of the big autumn: meetings with a regulation track? This would not only silence the carping tongue of envy, but would go a long way towards settling the question as to the relative speed properties of the two styles of tracks. Treatment of Colts. . Patience and perssverance will some times make a mare own her colt. It should be kept in front of her where she cannot injure It, and the mare held when it sucks. When sickness or weak ness is the cause of the unnatural con dition of the mare, she should be fed bran mashes, oil meal and scalded oats, and green grass, if possible. If the little colt is fed on cow's milk, it should be boiled, as it will then digest easier. It will also be better if some form of pep sin is put into it. The scours is gener ally caused by indigestion. Estimating Height. The following rule is given to esti mate the .height that a colt will grow to: Take a colt at any time between six weeks old and one year, stand him on a level surface so that he will stand nat urally, then measure the distance from the hair to his hoof to his knee joint, and for every inch or fraction thereof he measures, he will be hands high when matured. If he measures 15 inches he will grow to be 15 hands high; if lo\> inches he will be 15)£ hands high, and so on. Trotters in England. The American trotter is getting a strong foothold in England. Late ad vices from London state ..that negotia tions are now in progress for the pur chase of a large farm in Kent, on which the breeding of American trotters will be carried on. It will be under the ownership of Budd Baldwin, of New York, and W. It. Arbuthnot, of London, England. Trotting races are becoming every day more and more popular with English sportsmen, and every meeting at which this sport forms a part seems to attract a greater crowd. Must Beat 2:80.* In five years it will be a waste of money to train horses that can trot their heats between 2:30 and 2:85. Of course, such goods can win a few dollars at small meetings on half-mile tracks, but their earnings will get lighter a.nd light er as the years are checked off, on ac count of so many youngsters being brought out for educational purposes at the smaller meetings. Don't Favor Colt Training. . Gen. John A.Turner does not seem to be in favor of colt training. After watching Monbars work a fast mile re cently, he said: "If I owned a sweet thing like Monbars, he would go to the farm, and the public would hear noth ing more from him until he was live years old. Then 1 would go out for the money, and with decent luck would get it, too." ; . ENTRIES FOR TO-DAY. - Horses Scheduled to Start at Three Meetings.

Carrots make a' most excellent food for horses, particularly during sickness. They improve tin: appetite and slightly increase the action of the bowels and kidneys. They possess also certain alterative properties. The coat «>« comes smooth and glossy when carrots are fed. Some vbterjuary writers claim that chronic cough is cured by giving carrots for some time. The roots may be considered then as tin adjunct to the regular reeme, and if fed in small quantities are highly beneficial. One of the senseless, as well as in human, practices of horsemen nowa days is the cutting of the foretoos of their animals. A prominent veterinar ian gives it as his opinion that the fore top was intended to protect the brain of the horse, in a measure, from the hot rays of the sun; at any rate, nature has placed the long hair which hangs over the forehead of the animal for a wise purpose, and it looks like cruelty to see it shorn close to the skin. £ John A. Morris bid more than $20,000 on the St. Simon-l'laisanterie colt at the recent Doncaster sales, but failed to se cure the youngster, who went to Blun dell Maple for 130,000, which creates a new record for the price of a yearling in England, La Fleche, who fetched 5,500 guineas, having been the highest priced one up to that time.

In justice to the American trotting horse, his breeders and patrons should organize an unprecedented trotting meeting at Chicago during the world's fair year, and it is none too early to be gin to disguss the matter with a view to practical action. -^rhe Horseman. The New York bookmakers engaged in the fight with the Dwyers make the declaration that they will next year run a track of their own near the Brooklyn establishment, with a free gate and other special inducements to draw peo ple away from the Dwyers. A pony mare, believed to be about thirty years of age, dropped a foal re cently on a farm in Aberdeenshire.Scot laud. So far as known, this is the first foal ever borne by this aged dam. The start was such as to give good promise that both would do well. A society has been formed lv Olden burg, Germany, to promote the breed ing of the well known Oldenburg coach horse. The main object of the society is to found a pedigree book for all such horses in the province, and in Hanover and Bremen. It is estimated that 0,000 horses will change hands in Vermont this year at an average of $225, which will amount in round numbers to $2,000,000. The horse business now takes the lead in Vermont's agricultural industries. Last j'eßr a number of trottinc bred horses were exported from this country to Europe, atnone them being fourteen mares in foal. Reports from Germany say that all of them have strong, healthy foals, and are doing well. Allerton Williams declares that he has quit betting and declines to bet $2,000 with Doble, In the Nancy Hanks- Allertor. match at Lexington.

Events of a Rainy Sunday in the Bluff City. ' The Earls, of St. Paul, defeated the Mascots, of this city, at the ball park yesterday in an exciting . game. The game was called at the beginning or. tne seventh Inning owing to rain, the score standing 10 to 8. Maunsell pitched for the home team and Morrlssey for the Earls. The former distinguished himself by lining out a home run, knockine the ball over the ."left-field fence. In the first half of the sixth inning Elliott, qf the locals, made a three-base hit, reaching third bag safely, but the umpire called him out. It was clearly one of the rankest decisions ever made at the ball park. Lonman, who played with the Washington association" nine, caught for the Mascots. Struck out, Maunsell, 65 Morrissey, 7. The boom turned out 13,000,000 feet of logs last week, making a total so far this season of 280,000,000. Although there has been very little water during the summer, raft shipments have been good, and the number of rafts out will not fall much short of last season. Many crews have been sent to the pin eries to prepare for next winter's work, and all of the logging concerns in this city will go in for a heavy cut. Stilhvater parties interested In the Wyoming oil claims will elect delegates this evening to attend a meeting to be held at Omaha, Neb., Oct. 8, when the matter of erecting works this season will be decided. An oratorical contest for a Demorest silver medal was held at Lakeland Sat urday evening. Eight young folks took part in the contest, and the medal was awarded to Miss Lettie Ilutehins. The public schools of this city will re open to-day, having been closed one month longer than ususal owing to many deaths from diphtheria. The barbers and hack drivers of the city played an interesting game of ball yesterday, the barbers winning by a s scoieof 20 to 19. THE BRASS PIN. It Has Many Uses and It Has Fig ured in Great Events. This often-put question, "Where do all the pins go?" is no less interesting than the other, "Whence come a'i the pins?" says Table Talk. One has to rake very deep into the '"dead ashes" to discover a time when women— more strictly speaking, mankind generally— did not recognize the essential qualities of the humble little pin. True, there are records of days when pins were made of brass, bronze, wood, bone and ivory . Necessarily these were cumber : some Implements, wholly unlike the slender little spikes in use to-day, while they were both scarce and costly. f ßronze pins, with handles of ivory, have been found in ancient British barrows, among the treasures buried centuries ago, sufficiently well pre served to attest the use that had been made of . them, which wad, beyond a doubt, that of fastening the rude cloth ing ot those times. The date of the first manufacture of pins In England is shrouded m uncer tainty, but it is authentically recorded that as early as 1404, when money was "tight," extensive cloth-workers com pelled their laborers to accept in pay ment for their work "pins, girdles and other unprofitable wares instead of money." The march of Improvement had beenn and kept on steadily until the middle of the sixteenth century pins began to win appreciation so high that statutes were enacted protecting their manufacture, and ' -rigid laws were passed prohibiting the Importation of numerous minor articles, including pins, gloves, knives, tailors' shears, scissors and irons. "Up tn|this period female dress was fastened with ribbons, laces, clasps, hooks . and eyes and skewers of brass, silver, and cold; the latter were, in fact, pins without heads." During the reign of Henry Vlll., due' probably to the Influence of that king's numerous wives, pins were in great de mand, and an act was passed cautioning manufacturers to "avoid the slight and false making of pins; » * .* only such are to be sold as are double-headed ' and have the heads fast soldered so the shank of the pin, well smethed,. the shank well shaven, the point well and round filed, canted, and sharped." It is flattering to our patriotism to learn that the first solid-head pin, although made in England and its manufacture de layed until 1824, was the invention of an American, Lemuel IV. Wright by name; and it was another ingenious American, Dr. John T. Howe, of Connecticut, who, some eight years later, invented the first successful machine for completing solid-headed pins by a single proc ess. Marvelous, indeed-, does this seem when we pause to consider that prior to the. invention of this machine it re quired from twelve to fourteen men to complete a pin; there are as many differ ent processes in its manufacture, each requiring to be performed separately and by a different hand. A single ma chine now turns out a constant stream of pins, averaging 200 a minute, all ready to be transferred into revolving barrels, where they are turned until scoured sufficiently to be plunged into the acid bath, from which tney emerge bearing out the old saying, clean as a new pin. One machine performs the several duties of holding and crimping the paper sheets and sticking the pins into them, in even rows, with remark able dexterity. When pins were scarce and dear they formed very, acceptable gifts to the fair sex, and as now and then money was be stowed to the value of pins in lieu there of, not a few phrase-hunters believe that the term pin-money originated from that practice. Was it not Addison who took exception to what he called "the doctrine of pin-money," proposing that it be changed to "needle-money," as more expressive of thrift and economy? Nor. has the pin been neglected in ro mance. Which of us has not felt a sympathy for the imprisoned man who saved himself from madness by each day casting from him three or four pins and breaking the despairing monotony by seeking for them in the cell's dark ness? .When at the expiration of six years freedom papers were brought to him the messenger found him on the .floor of his cell in earnest search for one pin that had been two days missing.. he sequel runs that the prisoner's wire testified her gratitude by having the < four bent and rusted pins set in a \ brooch, which she wore and valued more than jewels. Superstition, also, has special claims upon the pin: it should, we are told, "be lent, not given." There is aby no means small class of sensitive-minded folks who regard the exchange of a pin a sure and sharp prtok to friendship: and there is another goodly number that put themselves to all manner or incon venience to stoop and pick up every pin that lies in their pathway. Another curious tact in- the early his tory of pins is that when they were first sold in "open shop there was such a great demand for them that a code was V DELICIOUS 0 Flavoring NATURAL FRUIT FLAVORS.

Ist and 2d of January. Those days the court ladies and the city dames nocked to the depots to purchase them in such numbers that they were accounted festivals. An odd use that the pin was put to long ago was that Of checking the in temperate habits of English. St. Dun stan conceived the idea of dividing the tankards our of which the liquor was drunk Into eight equal parts, each part marked with, a sliver pin. The cups were eenerous affairs, holding two quarts, consequently the quantity from pin to pin was half a pint, and the reg ulation was • that the drinker "stop at a pin."itoisterers,however, prevented the purpose of good St. Dunstan and estab- ! lished the rule of "good-fellowship," by which the drinker was to stop only at a pin; if he drank beyond he had to goon to the next mark. As it. was difficult to stop exactly at the pin the vain efforts always caused much mirth, and the trial usually ended with the draining of the tankard.* In Lonfellow's "Golden Legend" we find the lines: Come, old fellow, drink down to your peg, But do not drink any further, I beg. Also from this custom grew the phrase "In merry pin." meaning the same as in merry mood. The frequently quoted "I dot pin my faith upon your sleeve" is traced in sentimeut to feudal times, \vh n the partisans of a leader used to wear his badge pinned upon the sleeve. Some times these badges were changed for specific reasons, and persons learned to doubt, hence the phrase: "You wear the badge, but I do not intend to pin my faith on your sleeve."
