John Apian will drive the gelding Wilknis this season. Dick Wilson is roading his string of trotters and pacers every day that is fit.

A yearling colt by Alcazar, Neluska, brought $2,300 at New York, March 8. Mrs. Langtry's stallion, Fiat Truck, is eagerly sought after by California breed era.

The parties having charge of the track should put it in good condition as early as possible.

March 7 and 8 amounted to $200, 'eragc of $1,836.47. nmlttee appointed by the Direct

ors to arrange the premium list for our fair have completed the work. Dock Hays, of Brown township, is the owner of Old Frank. He is one of the best stallions that ever stood in our county.

Mascotte, by Stanbonl, the two-year-old colt brought from California, was sold at auction on March 7th for §20,000 in New York City.

The Rushville Graphic issues an eight page supplement each week on tinted paper. It is full of news that is interesting to a lover of good horses.

Dick Wilson, the horseman, will handle the standard-bred stallion. "Oaklahoma," this season. This horse is the property of MJp. Jap. McNamee, of Sugarcreek township. Oaklahoma is by Legal Tender Jr. 3409, 1st dam by Blue Bull 75. The horse promises good speed.

Col. R. G. Stoner, of Hambletonian stock farm, lias sold fourteen Wilkes colts and fillies since the first, of January for an aggregate of $27,000, an average of nearly $2,000. He sold to J. H. Moore, of Pennsylvania, the black colt, Orphan Wilkes, dam Skipper, by Mambrino Russell, for $1,500.

The State Board of Health Tuesday dirt'Oted the health officers of Decanter county to arrest an owner of glandered horses in that county, who is charged with not keeping them on his own premises. The State Board of Agriculture, at it.s next meeting, will nominate a veterinary honrd. whose duty it will be to stamp out intlectious diseases of stock, and kill diseased animals when such killing is deemed necessary as a measure of safety.

TKLL TALE HOUSES' TEETH.

A foal of months has six grinders in each jaw, three in each side and also six nippers, or front teeth, with a cavity in each.

At age of 1 year cavities in front teeth lv.gin to increase, and he has four grinders upon each, side, one of permanent,and remainder of milk set.

At age of 2 years he loses the first milk griiider above and below, and front teeth have their cavities filled up alike to teeth of horses of 8 years of age.

At the age of 3 years or 2% he casts his two front uppers, and in a short time after the next two.

At the age of 4 years grinders are six upon each side and at about 4}4 his nippers are all permanent

two comer teeth filled up. Horse may now said to be aged. Cavities in nippers of upper jaw are not obliterated till horije is about 10 years old, after which time tushes become round and nippers project and change their service.

THE HOUSE'S FROG.

No horse can travel safely without the use of the frog. Aside from its all-essen tial necessity as the natural rest of the bony structure upon the ground, its expansion power in keeping the hoof from contraction upon the inclosed joints, and its promotion by its action of circulation of blood to the extremity of the hoof, and consequene growth, the frog has a function always overlooked by the unreflecting, in that it is the organ of touch. It is the only part of the hoof that communicates with the nervous system, and through that the brain: and it is therefore the only means that the horse has of accurately determining his foothold on the ground. Tn the common method of shoeing the frog is taken out of action by the thickness of the shoe and the horse is deprived of its use. Upon no muscle in the body is he more dependent for healthful, natural action, and from the moment the frog is displaced by the Blacksmith's iron the decay of the horse's power begins. Contraction, quarter cracks, navicular disease, inflammation, and, more troubleS)me than all else, corns, usurp the free elasticity of nature, and the animal commences his downward course.

THE STORY OF A HORSE.

It is not often that a dealer in horses gets caught, but a case in point shows how a Rondout dealer was brought up •with around turn. A man named Goodwin, of Panelville, came to this city to purchase a horse. Entering a mart in Abel street the following conversation took place: "I want to buy a horse." "Good. I have got just the kind of an animal that will suit you." "Trot him out."

Bin

OUCH,

Tne horse was "trotted" c1"' and the man from Palenville instantly recognized the beast. He had purchased it in Mon treal, Can., fourteen years ago. At that time the age of the horse was given as six years. He had owned it twelve years,and then sold it to a man who had it two years, thus rfiaking its age twenty years. While in' Goodwin's possession the animal had acquired the habit of chewing tobacco. "There," said the dealer, "he's a daisy." "How old is hej" inquired Goodwin: "Seven years old. He is as sound as a Spanish gold dollar, and can turn a mile in less than three minutes." "Are you sure the horse Is only seven years old?" "Certain sure. I know the man thatraised him." "Give me a chew of tabacco, will you?" said Goodwin. Receiving it he handed the tobacco to the dealer with the remark: "Just see if that horse will chew?"

To the surprise of the horseman the animal chewed the quid with evident pleasure and whinnied for more. "Do you know this horse?" he asked. "Well, I ought to," replied Goodwin, "being as I owned him twelve years. He was six years old when I bought him, and another man had him for two years." "Come out and take a drink," said the dealer. "That is the worst I ever was sold in my life."—Kingston Freeman.
