i0, An Old Amerlean Jockey. Mark Ransom Walker lives at No. 81 Plane street, Newark, N. J. He is the oldest living native American horse jockey and trainer. He is 82 years old. He was born in Dover, near Boatop, and rode running horses in races over 70 years ago. His father, who was a fa mous horse trainer, taught him to ride as soon as he could sit in a saddle. He has blue eyes, regular features, gray hair, mixed with a little brown, and a small but compact figure. His hands are palsied. "Runnin'horses ain't what they was when I was a youngster," said Mr. Walker to a reporter, "for they ain't got the bottom now to run three an' four mile heats a couple of times in one afternoon. Seventy years ago horse men wouldn't give much for a horse that couldn't stand two or three four mile heats in a day. I'll never forgot the great four-mile race, best two in three, heats of four miles each, between the North an' South, which come off at Craig's Point, near Boston, in 1814. It was a blisterin' hot day, an' clouds of dust nearly hid the wagons and people that crowded.the road between Boston an' Cambridge. Thousands of peopl crowded round the race courso. The South had matched Watch Eye, a fluo hay horso, agin Sam Purdy's fast Little John, a rattlin' runner. Rich planters plnte.Weked their horse with their last dollar ait then put up their slaves agin the Northern men. A little darkoy boy in a pik suit rode Little John an' a white boy was mounted on Watch Eyo. Folks choored likei mad when the horses was brought out. Little John won the first heat by a longth, an' ho took the second heat easy. The Northerners won heaps of money. The next day Poaco maker, Revenge, and two other good ones started in tho three-mile race. Arthur Hydo, of Boston, owned Peaco maker, an' the New England folks put their money on him. The New Yorkors an' Southernors backed Revengo, a New York horse, Sam 1urdy wanted Mr. Hyde to lot the darkey who won with Little John ride Peacemaker, but Mr. Hyde said he had a Yankee boy who CoUld ride. T wis a littie b,rowin-hiaired, blue-eyed lad then, an' T had oni a sear lot suit. Ili front of the judges' stand Mr. Ilyd lifted mi1e into.

Then&i lie anl' his friends b'acked thie Baltimore pon.v. The rac'e was for $S300t the horses to start. 01n the seore, the dash hbeing only a quarte11r of a mile. I rode Inidian Chief, ani' wheni I sawu M[r. Halrtwoodl, the starter, miove his lipis I pult the simra~ to lIndiani Chief, who won by hialf a nee0k. In 181(6 Little JTohn wa bought by Mr, Warrenl, who took himi an' 2(6 other runnlers to Hailifax, where lie wa'is to sip them11 to) the Weost Iudies to run agin English horses. I was lired to~ ride Little Jhn. Thle English woulhdn't let Americeans taiko racing hlorses to the West Indies, so Mr. W~r ren sold all tile hlorses teet Little JIohnl and two others, which noe shlipped to Kingstoni inl the namle of an English fim. We wals 31 dalys at seai, and1( got to Kinigstoni one dany too,t late for thet ratces, but Mr. Warren sold Little ,Johin to Major McCrea, of the English Army, andt lhe beat. every horse ownied by thet other officers. I redo Cubamn hor11s in Havana for a whlile, 1an' then went to Charleston, 8. C., where I rodo for plantors ait the races in New O)rleanls, Savannahi, Maconl, Rtaleighi, ani' lots tof other towvns. The planters sent for 111 from every p)art of thle Southl, all' I made a heaplj of money. At ai grealt rae meet in' in Concord, S. C., 1 rotde the winninl' colts, overweights, in every race for four days. I rode an aged horse, full'weighlt, for a planter named iDingwell, who hadi bet nearly all he was worth onl the? horse. Ho hatd never won ai heat tor ra('t. Every body was sulrprisedl whien I landetld the oltd horse a safe winner. Another mlatch was mate for $300, and there was great exciteent. The colored j)ckeys wvas aw~fuil jealous, anl' 0110 of themI, just as the hoersets was scored, shouted :' That whlit.e Yankee won't wVi anothler heat or purse11 onl this I raIck.' Het thlen ranl away. I hlad thie ('utSide. Inl goinl' roundit the1 back stretch mv horso fell like a sht, an' I wash p)(~iae upl inisonsmble. A white powdev hadt beon soattored 011 thie track where the hlorno fell. Dingwell ol'e'ed $25 for thme capture of thin dnekey wholi used the powder. All that nlight several hitndred darkies hunllted for him in the swamps, bult lie got away. I never knowed what tile powVder was, bult the trick was of tell played ill the South. One jockey was killed by it. It was hot times on ralce tracks in them days. I saw men shot dead for not paying thoir lats ndr a del was a co-mo thn. Them hot-blooded planters would shoot as quick as a wink. In Charleston I once saw 21 negroes hung together on a gallows, an' 87 in one week. They had planned to kill the white men an' black women an' keep the whito women for themselves. "Nearly sixty years ago I came to Now York," continued Mr. Walker, "an' folks was goin' wild over American Eclipse, a horso that was never beat in a four-mile race. He wan a sorrel, with a star, an' near hind foot white, 15 hands an' three inches high, an' had spood, bottom and strength. He was foaled at Dosaris, Long Island, on May 25, 1814, and Ginoral Nat Colon, his owner, sold him to Cornelius Van Rant when he was flive years old. Eclipse beat Soa Gull, Flag of Truce, Heart of Oak, Lady Lightfoot, Sir Walter, Black eyed Susan, Fear Naught, Slow an' Easy, Duchess of Marlborough an' Sir Charles an' Henry, the champion racers of the South, In the first race agin Sir Walter, the four miles was covered by Eclipse in 7:54, and in the second he done the first heat in 7:58. In Novein ber 1822, he was matched agin Sir Wal tor, a Southern horse, but the owner of Sir Walter paid forfeit. Both the horses ran one heat for $1,500 a side, Eclipso winnin' with ease, makin' tho first milo in 1:45. Then Col. Bill Johnson, of Petersburg, Va., matched lieniry agin Eclipse for $10,000 a side. That wan the greatest raco between the North and South. Over 60,000 people went to the course on Long Island to seo the race. Billy Crofte rodo Eclipso in tho first heat, an' Houry won it-the only heat Eclipso over lost. Sam Purdy mounted Eclipso for the second hoat. He was dressed in red. The people clicred him an' he mado Eclipse win the race easily. Thje Southerners were cleaned out of money by that race. Eclipse's timo was 7:37 in the first heat, 7:49 in the second, and 8:24 in the third, so that he made the twelve miles in 23:50-a great per formance. IIonry carried 108 pounds an' Eclipso 126, but ho never ria agin. I trained him onee after thait to race with Bert-rand, a horse from the Smith, but Bertrand didn't show up. In my opinion, no htorse that ever lived coild heat Eclipso in a long race. Inl 1824 the New York Jockey Club took Oineral Lafayette to iarlem to see Eclipse, an' thy took fouilitary companies along.

AGRIOULTURE. BAnuEY FOl FIEEDiNo.-In thiscountry bar ley is used mainly for brewing; li Europe and Eastern countries it Is fed to stock, par. ticularly horses. As compaired to oats it Is more nutritious and less heating. The produt of an acre of barley il of moro value as food for horses or other amia.s than the product of an acre of oats of equal quality. The grain bcing harder when dry than oats, it cannot be consumed so well in a raw state, but If fed ground it should be soaked in water or boIled. When ground and fed in conjunction with cut fodder, there is nothing superior as fo(V for work ing teams. Barley to keep tihe system open and the skin soft. 8o long as our American farmers giow barley with no use for.it in view but malting, so long will it be subject to extreme fluctuations in price, and the business a risky and uncertain ote for the grower. But whou the value of it for feeding stock Is realized the markets will be stedier anld the prolits of the crop more certain. Many farmers rrow both barley and oats, the one to sell and the other to feed. It would be wiser, if the soil is good for barley--is most all soils are-to grow a portion at least for feeding purposes instead of oats. Ground barley is an excellent food for fattening hogs. We know from actual experience that horses will perfornie as inuch labor when fed on barley as they (1o when fed on oats. During the Mexican war all the grain that horses and mules had from the time I he army left Jalapa for the interior was barley and corn, but mostly barley. Cavalry horses as well as those use( for teaming purposes, could not be ini better condition than they were. INsTINOT OL: Pr.NT5.--ThC root consti tutes the plant's mouth.

Everybody has seen In the woods tie roots of sonic trees planted by the birds or the winds in the crevices of a rock, wandering down the sides of the great boulder in search of nourishment. Dr. Davy tells of a case in which -% horse-chestnut, growing on it flat stone, Bet out its roots to forage for food. They passed seven foot up a contiguois wall, turned at the top, passe( ilown seven feet on the other shle, fount the needed nourishment, there which their own barren home denied them. A yet more singular instance of this search for food is related. A seed[ had been droppdd by one of nature's husbandmen, a bird, in the decaying trunk of an old tree. it sprouted, put forth roots, branches and at little stem. But its roots in vain sought aourishient, to the hearts of its (lyiij fo :ter mother. At length abandoning all ol) of iupport i rom her, they Iished out iroim1 tionc to seek a living.
