HORSE NOTES.

Amos Gambrel has charge. of J. E. Dye's Medo this season. Medo is by Madrid, by Geo. Wilkes, dam by Mambrino Hatcher.

Adam Minjrie, living north of Eden, has a line, light liny blue bul' mare, sired by Loekerby, that is one of the best mares in the country.

A. J. Mingle, living south of McConlsville, is the owner of Prince, a fine Clydesdale and Percheron stallion, dark bay, finely formed and of splendid action. Farmers, take a look at this horse.

John T. Tindall has Hamdallah at his feed and sale barn again this season. He was sired by Hambrino, 2:213-4, dam Linda by Alexander's Abdallah,sire of Goldsmith Maid, 2:14. Hamdallah succeeded in lowering his record to 2:23 last year.

Col. S. F. Gray, who has a [fine farm just west of this city, has some fffteeu head of well bred mares and colts there. He has two mares that will drop foals by Hamdallah this spring. Among his colts he has two fillies by Gen. Wilkes. 2:21. He also has one by Marlborough. The Colonel also is an admirer of fine poultry and has many beautiful specimens at his farm.

Dr. W. A. Justice, of Eden, has succeeded in securing a fine Clydesdale and Percheron stallion, Sir George, for this season at his stable. He is coal black and weighs 1,400 pounds, and will be altogether a desirable horse to breed to. The doctor still has Marquis, the iron-gray Clyde, and Red Frank. These horses are all first-class. They will be in charge of W. H. Warrum, a competent horseman.

Mr. Smith Fry and his son Henry have a very fine 9tring of horses at the fair grounds. They have a number of splendid brood mares by such horses as Commander, 2041 Tom Hal, 3000 Gray's Stockbridge Chief, Belmont Jr.,Warrick's Star. They also have some magnificent colts from the above mares and others from such sires as American Boy, Jim Wilson, Commander, Arlington Chief, Almont Brunswick, Artemus, Ajax and others. This is a striug that any firm would be proud of, as they areA No. 1. Call and see them. As they are young they will not all be handled and the Messrs. Fry will have time to look after A few other horses if placed in their charge.

Every intelligent business man is seeking the place and the business that will give him the largest returns for the money invested, and every careful man will look carefully into all the minor details that must eventually enter into the success or failure of business, in the common acceptance of the term, but especially is it so with reference to the breeding of blooded stock, and iu this connection I desire thac you should follow me while I reflect in your minds what in reason you may expect when you seek the patronage of that worthy sou of Old Blue Bull, Billy Davis. It has been concedod by experienced breeders that the rule of like begets like is ever prominent in the breeding business, und that the blood of the renowned sire is being intensified by iu-breeding and by crossing, until the advent of the 2-minute trotter is near at hand. First, to get performers, one of the essential elements is to breed to a producer second, to a sire whose dam is either a producer or a performer third, to breed to a horse whose sire is a producer and your anticipation will be realized. A reference to the breeding of Billy Davis reveals the astounding fact that all these essentials are here com biaed. Notwithstanding the get of Bine Bull, 75. has been hounded and spurned by the kid glove gentry of the trotting

BIG

arena, the honest man is compelled to declare that his like has never been known, and his fame has long been t.eralded beyond the mighty ocean. Bine Bull is dead, but the acheivements of his progeny are alive and the matrons, whose blood is that of this old hero, have set the mark for the 19th century to admire. Through buffeting they have acheived the fame accorded none other, and they still live to outrank themselves. His sons are giving to the turf some of the gamest aud speediest, and no blood is beleived to be more prepotent. Refering to the subject of this sketch, you have here the producer out of a performing darn, ami by a producing sire, and though he has never had an op portunity of proving to the world the merit that in him lies he has now to his credit, Heury Dexter, 2:24}, PatO'Bri n, 2:28,1/, Bees Wing, 2:82%, and three others better than 2:37, and Hart Kelner, of Muncie, has a grandson of Billy Davis which in his 3-year-old form paced a mile in 2:34, and a half in 1:10. If yon want a sire breed to Billy Davis, and if you went a brood mare breed to Billy Davis, and you will get what all the best breeders in the country are looking for. My advertisement will appear in this paper later, to which you are respectfully referred. In addition to Billy Davis, I will have in service at Greenfield, under the management of N. B. Brandenburg, a stallion by Sultan, the sire of Stamboul, 2:11, and 24 others in the list, and one of the finest imported Norman horses that has ever stepped his foot on Indiana soil. Don't book your mares until you have seen what I have to offer. Truly Yours,

CASH STORE.

To Sorghum Growers.

How to raise cane as eas'iy as corn: Pulverize the grcund well, so as to make a smooth seed bed, then take a corn drill and get a cane seed plate, if you already havent one, they cost about 25 cts. The agent who sells the drill can get them for you. Don't furrow out for caue, as it makes it hard to tend when small, but go ahead with your drill, and drill your cane seed on the level surface, make the width of rows 3 feet 4 inches. Set the drill to drill 16 inches, and with clean seed it will put it down right. You can then plow the cane same as corn, and do not thin till cane is 5 or 6 inches high. Cultivate cane and weeds 'till the above height, then take a sharp hoe and keep it sharp, cut the thick bunches of cane out. and also weeds, and leave the thin cane in hills in the drill rows 10 or 12 inches apart with 3, 4 and 5 in a hill. In this manner you can do all with the hoe by once going over with the hoe and cutting cane and weeds out level with the ground, and plow ing immediately afterwards, it then needs no more hoeing. Cultivate the cane 'till about 3 feet high. Cane managed iu this way is as easy tended as corn. A man can clean out one acre per day or more, and cane thus tended has yielded from 100 to 200 gallons per acre, which at 35 cts. a gallon would be $35.00 to $70.00 per acre,besides, the seed and fodder is valuable for milk cows and all other stock. Have the seed thrashed with a separator and ground for stock. The seed and fodder alone will pay for raising the cane, and have the molasses for profit. Cane will yield well on thin land and make a profitable crop, and good quality of molasses. Every farmer should raise cane, from two to five acres or more, when accesable to a cane mill that makes a good quality of molasses. CICERO WATTS.
