ONTARIO f HOROUGIBRED BLOOD GOOD FOR TROTTERS IM ereeting Argument, Saeed on Re cords, by John E. Madden, an Soak and Interview John 1C. Madden, the great owner et thoroughbreds, said 111 an interview: "As a breeder of both thorough- breds and trotters 1 have given much time to research, and 1t struck ws forcibly that the warm blood of the race horse appeared . close up to the pedigrees of our greatest performers at the diagonal gait. I make no claim that my little book contains every performer with thoroughbred blood as close as the second generation, but most of them are recorded and there is a suMclent number to convince even the most sceptical that the thoroughbred Improves every family with which he comes In contact." "Half -brads" were Good Mr. Madden's volume on this sub- ject shows that forty-five performers 1n 7.30 or better were out of absolute- ly thoroughbred dams, and of these Palo Alto, 2,08%. was the champion stallion of his day, while another, Ex- pressive, 2.12%, was undoubtedly one of the greatest three-year-old trotters that the world has ever known. Her campaign In 1894, alien sbe repeated- ly beat the best of the old horses In killing races of split heats, made her the sensational performer of that year. Credit to Stanford Both of these great trotters were bred by Senator Stanford at his Alto stud In California. and it Is large- ly due to this expert's judgment that the thoroughbred received a chance to show his quality in connection with the trotting family. Senator Stanford 'believed implicitly In the thorough- bred -standard -bred cross and lived long enough to prove its soundness. Of the forty-five performers which the author designates as "halfbred trot- ters." there are famous ones, in- cluding Proof of the Pudding, 2.2S%, by Peter the Great, 2.07.., out of Souveratne, by (imported) Rayon d'Or, a mare which has thrown gal- lant and other good winners on the turf: CANNON TO KILL ANTS It s hard to imagine bigguns killing anyt ng except men and horses.

KILLING WILD OATS Uueee.sful Method of Veteran Farmer Is Described The weed problem 1s one of the meat serious confronting Canadian farmers. Some weeds are trouble- some to every province, while others cause most loss where grain farming L exclusively practised. Wild oats are a terrible pest in the Prairie Prd- vtnces and meet be dealt with earn- estly 1n order to krep them under con- trol. Various methods are advocated for their eradication, but one of the very best Is the fallow and fall rye method practised and recommended by one of the oldest and most success- ful farmers of the Northwest. The infested field should be ,plough- ed deeply (seven or eight inches it possible), as soon as spring seeding 1s over, and each day's ploughing har- rowed as ploughed. As each crop of oats. appears it should be cultivated or disked up to the loth or 12th of Aug- ust when the field should be given a final preparation and seeded about Aug. 16th, at the rate of one and one- quarter bushels of fall rye and pack- ed or harrowed after seeding. The oats that germinate with the rye will be winter-kIiled,wand those coming up 1n the spring will not ripen before the rye is ready to harvest. The better the soil is cultivated and prepared to receive the rye crop the greater w111 be the number et Data germinated and winter -killed.' If mcessary this treat- ment can be repeated. Fall rye 1s a sure crop, the grain brings a good price, and it is the one crop which will ripen ahead of the wild oats.
