The Blood that Tolls.
TJio HUbJcct of " Thoroughbred
Wood in tho Trotter " is tlio principal
topic nt presont rmonjr tho turfinon
throughout tho ' intry. On ono side,
It is claimed that fresh Infusions of tho
" blood that tells " arc necessary to tho
production of tho licet road and trot
ting horse, while tho opponents of this
doctrine Insist that unsteadiness, nun,
consequently, unreliability, Is Inviirlii
blv tho result whorl tho blood of the
tlinrntiuhbred predominates. Tho turf
editor of tho California Spirit of (lie
Time, In noticing tho thoroughbred
mares recently purchased for tho ex
tensive breeding establishment of (5ov.
Stanford, says: "Intelligent breeders
uro becoming moro thoroughly con
vinced of tho necessity of u largo pro
portion of tho blood or tho thorough
bred In tho trotter, and It also gives
finish and endurance to the road horse.
J-'or nearly two hundred years tho
breeders of thoroughbreds have been
ondeavorlng to eliminate whatever
thcio was in tlio form Inimical lospeed
and endurance, and, consequently, tho
Hhapo of tho blood horso Is tho best
adapted for rapid locomotion at any
gait. Tho trotting faculty Is as natural
to them ns any other of tho equine
races; tho capacity to acquire tho fast
trotting action equally us pronounced."
That the blood of the thoroughbred
hay exerted u potent influence on tho
trotters In California, is conceded by
every ono who has tho least know
ledge of tho subject.
Colonel Lewis, with tho fastest rec
ord which has over been shown by u
trotter In tho first m'iisoii litis I Is by
a thoroughbred mm of (Iloneoe, Kllle
man, and his dam ran u mile on a Mow
track In 1:17.
Col. Saunders, of the Sutlonal lAcc
iStoct; Journal, claims that trotters by
thoroughbred horses, or In which the
" blood of tho thoroughbred predomi
nates, aro unsteady anil unreliable."
Colonel Lewis woiibIx races without
losing ti heat, and making only ono
break In tho series. Tho only known
blood In Ueavls'rt llhckblrd, Is that of
a thoroughbred, being fully threa
(iiiarters bred. I In has u record of
l:2'.', and Is very reliable on n track.
Vouluro, with a rewril of 2:7, Is mi
nearly n Thoroughbred, that there Is
only one thirty-second part unknown.
Vonturo Is the slro of u cult that Imi
run a mile In 1:11. Monarch Is tlior-
niiL'h bred, bv Woodbuin, a son of
Lexington. Ho has trotted in '2:'1S,

Coldnote, by Coiiir.ili.unl, dam at
least three-quarters thoroughbred, won
a race of two inllo heats In l:."S and
fi-.OI, tho second mile in the llrM heat
bolng Hindu In -:-!. It Is queer rea
honing which would give the meiltuf
Venture's trotting to tho thirty-second
part of unknown blood, or tlio eighth
part In (lolduote, or tho ntio.qunrtor in
Blackbird, or even ucrlbe to tho dam
of Colonel Lewis all of his trotting
capacity. Tho fallacy of this rpecl.d
reaonlng of tho advocates of eold
blood, is becoming more apparent ev

thing wlulo sick, grated his teeth al
most constantly, and died in threo
days. Tlio others ran a yellow liquid
from tlio noso, lingered along, and
died. .During wot weather many of
thorn wore loot-sore. This I remedied
easily by cleaning and paring tho
hoofs Tho other diseases I could do
nothing for.
Thero is another dlscaso which I
will mention, not knowing what it
was. Tho wool turned blackish anU
lost Its luster, seemed easily pulled oh,
nnd tho skin was lumpy, hard, and
swollen. The goat seemed melancholy,
looked languid from tho oyos, and nto
but little. Had tho goat switched It
seir much, I should havo thought it
had tho scab, but It did not. I, how-
ovor, killed tho goat, mid havo had
nothing of the kind among tlicm since.
Nine-tenths or my goats havo been
healthy, and olght-tonths havo nover
had any dlseaso at all. Hut tlioro has

Grango Education.
Tho Muster, in ills lecturo in tho
Maine state Grange, Bald:
" Do wo not bay that tlio frrango Is
nn organization to cducnto and olevnto
tho farming class up to a higher plane?
Yes, verily, wo do. Hut what kind of
education do wo need to clovato us'.'
Let us uiiderhtand tho problem of edu
cation thnt does elovato people nnd na
tions; that gives caste und power. It
lias elovated classes.nniong us away up
nbovo tho husbandman. Wo acknow
ledge It, nnd put n prlco upon educated
labor. Tor Instance, wo cducato law
yers, doctors, inlnlstors, teachers, etc.
I say we, because schools nro, and havo
been, largely supported by taxation
and endowments, and farmers pay the
largest part. Then what? Why do
wo willingly pay a lawyer ton dollars
or more for drawing up a writing thnt
takes him but an hour or so? Hecauso
ho 1 educated, l'ay n doctor ono bun
dled dollars or moro to nmputito n
limb, that can bo done In a very fow
minutes? Uceauso ho is skillful. Pay
somo ono of tho clergy three hundred
dollars for nn o veiling lecturo? lie
cause ho Is talented.
" Uesides this, wo fill nearly nil tho
places of honor nnd protU with them.
Then, again, how is It with mcchauie.il
arts? Patents nro given on almost ev
ery nauieablo thing, from a cambric
nccdlo to n mowing machine, nnd wo
pay a royalty for tho prlvllcgo of using
thorn, because it is skilled labor. Copy
rights on books, patent medicines, and
almost nit tho nostrums" of the day,
nro protected, bocuuso tlio result of
educated labor. Tho public domain
glyen to wealthy railroad companies,
because railroads nro built with skilled
labor, 1 suppose. Hut how Is It with
the labor of tho husbandman? No
royalty on nlco beef, pork, butter,
chocBO, or grain. Tho fields aro all
open for competition. Education ele
vates out of our ranks, nnd wo lire, in
n measure, in tho fault. Farmers havo
ignored book-farming. I admit tho
fact that much of tho instruction wo
havo received from educated moti on
tho sclonco of agriculture hns appeared
to lio not much but tho product of ldlo
tnlonta, nnd, when coupled with prnc
tlco, many failures havo boon tho re
sult, establishing tho fact beyond con
tradiction thnt farmers need their ag
ricultural colleges as much as business
men need commercial colleges or the
professions their classical schools and
colleges. Farmers aro willing to cdu
cato everybody but themselves. They
havo agricultural colleges, but do not
utilize them. Thoy complain hecauso
they uro expensive and uro no benefit
to farmers. The trouble Is, thoro Is no
Inducement for young moil to tako u
thorough, sclcntlllc limner's courso of
study. Show positions of honor nnd
profit, as I trust tho grango will lu dun
time, und, If tlioro nro laurels to bo
won, agricultural schools will be filled
to overllowlng, nnd wonderful results
will follow. Hut overlastlng economy
has been preached to farmers over
since I can remember, and thoy talk It
In tholr families, and hand tlio practlco
down from generation to generation,
and It has become chronic. Anything
for their beuellt must not cost much, If
anything, until we uru following lu the
footprints of our fathors. When will
wo get out of tho old ruts? And Mill
wo hear the cry for reduction of fees
and dues, withdrawal of stock from
the stato store, tho grange Is expens
ive, etc.
Thu education needed is that which
will ipulliy the patron for ull his du
ties, both us farmer and citizen. Wo
want .such M'hools us shall combine
theory mid practice, science mid nit,
labor and study, und simultaneously
teach tho head to devlso und tho hand
to execute. Tho farmer, I have always
thought, should bo tho best hortofu
mail and citizen. Ills dealings uro
with mother nature that nursing
mother of us ull. His miiiNteriug
ungels lire tho ble-ed dews, showers
and sunshine.
"Wo must havo the means of more
extensive communications, mid larger
representation In this order. The peo
ple who do not como to our order, need
tho benefit of what Is douuuiui taught
in tills order. And n plan of formal
lectures on given subjects, would meet
my approval, mill I bespeak your aid
forsiich system, and ti wider ningu of
olloct. When these outgivings of the
best thought and most carefully garner
ed experience of the leading intellects
of this order shall Ih thu common
property of nil classes, wo shall noo
happy results, und cult uro of many
sorts, that will cheer und gladden thu
hearts of many who have labored under
great discouragements, heretofore."
