If iliin is tho case in a method of
riHking money on chances which rests
under tho ban of tho law, tho system of

aanotion of no largo a portion of the
community, has boon rondo tho mibjoot

Tlio system of book-hotting has boon
in use in this country but a compara
tively short time. To the uninitiated
the term is only a aonroo of mystery,
A man who oponn boohs on any rno<
must be well informed on all paints
bearing on the spued, bottom, and prob
able condition of tho several horse'*
that are entered. Ho arranges a series
of oddrt on each one an against all tho
others, whioli odds are offered to the
public. Xu looking down the list
printed on a oar \ a gentleman may find
t hat opposite the name of Hpringhok
the odds are five !o ono. Hi* knows,
therefore, that in Hr.- opinion of tho
book-maker the.** arc five chances that
Springbok will bn boaton by some
of the other homuH in the race to
that ho will win. If, therefore, he
a better opinion of Springbok, ho bucks
that opinion by paying into tho book-
hooper any Hum of money lie chooses
above a certain prescribed minimum.
If Hpringhok wins ho will receive five
times the amount ho tins ventured. If
the homo does not win ho will reeoive
nothing. In a race in which there are
twenty horses the odds offered will run
from two to ono up to thirty or more to
one. Suppose tho least likely horse to
win, then, if the minimum investment
is 81,000, the man who bets on the
winner will reoeivo $80,000, less tho
percentage of the bookmaker, and in
return, the bookmaker will have re
ceived his “ proposition,"as it is called,
on every horse, ironi which to pay it.
If two persons have aoecptrd Ins odds
on tho hniva m question lie will have to
pay out $00,000, and ii his saloa ol
other horsos have been complete he
may bo a heavy loaor.
The peculiar features of thin mode
of betting are that tho sums bet are
usually quite largo. Htul tliat if a horse
changes owners or for any other reason
dot's not run, the money of the investor
is not returned to him, but belongs to
the maker at the book. This is a
favorite way of betting with wealthy
sporting men who prefer to risk large
sums.

inirroiiY and rornT.Aitirr of tor hyhtrm.
A oompsraMvnly short timo only has
elapsed since this system of mntnal
pools was devised and tho machine in
vented by an ingenious Fronnhmsn by
which a record is marked of oacb in
vestment made. Tlio morits and easy
applicability of Hie system woio at one*
perceived in Pari* by an omimni
Atnorioan gentleman who waa sojourn
ing in the French capital, and b*
brought a number of tho machines
hr re. The system was at onoo received
with favor by tho public, and justly so,
for it is the only way in whioli tho man
who only seeks moderate risk can lai
nut liih money, while the full publicity
of all the traiiHantiruiH and tho check*
which are employed to porfoot tho sys
tom render the preparation of any fraud
nearly impossible. There is no fraud
There can be none without on amount
of craft and combination which is prac
tically impossible, in tho faee of the
hundreds of mon who surround the
stand npon which are placed tho mn
chines, the playcards, and tl e opera
tors. The public know this, end the
ontory, raised mainly by m n who have
trli**l to get oontrol of the system thorn-
reives and failed, is of no offoot. Those
parties may believo that fraud in the
management of t.io Mutuals is i>rac
tioablo, but it in n very genoral opinion
that the ohiof reason of opposition ia
that they desire to oontrol and mo
nopnlixo the business for personal
profit.. No man of common serine,
although dishonest at heart, would at
tempt fraud fn tho matter whoro the
risk of detention is so great and the
legitimate emoluments of conducting
the system with probity so largo. It
will ho tho ohiof means o hot'ing from
th s timo forth, savo the regular truns
notions of the book-makers and the
heavy pools sold by auction, in which
only largo invertmonts are generally
practicable. It may ho that a smaller
percentage o' tho money invested will
bo considered sufficient to remunerate
the manngois of tho Mutuals, although it
is not generally known what their ox
i onsoH are for machine*, printing, and
salaries of operators and ncoonntant*.
Neither {h it known to wlmt losses they
may be snbjojted throng i counter
feit money or defalcations. That their
exponnes are large is manifest, notwith
standing them are pcoplo who argue
that tho system works automatically,
and that after the firs outlay for ma-
c hinoa tho percentage is all profit. For
•leromo Park, Long Branch, and Sara
toga tho hills of tho managers of the
Mutuals are very large in necessary ex
aside from the salaries of tlio
scores of men they munt employ in or
der to do the business with dispatch
and reliability.
TIIK HKTTINO THIS REASON.
This has been an cxcoptioushly lively
year for betting. It is snid that more
than threo quarters of a million dollars
have bueu placed npon the Jerome Park
icr alone, while the sum total of bets
tlio Houthorn and western races ami
tho events of the Long Branch summer
meetings exceeds two millions of dol
lars. The race* in the west and south
which opened tho season this year us
usual, aroused an interest uml enthusi
asm totally unoxpoetod in view of the
general stringency of the money market,
i'horo were five homos matched, and
there was an indication of almost a
national interest that t hose event* create
in Kuropeuti countries. Tho pool
statu thut the ainouut likely to bo risked
within the coming month on the Long
Branch races, and later on the Daily-
mount riflo oontest, and tho yacht races,
will he more than double the sum
wagered during any previous year.
Good Words for tho Grango.
Nothing is more true thau that agri-
onlture is the nursing mother of all the
arts, and nothing is more untrue than
the equally trite saying, "ngtioullnro is
the most independent of nil tho indus
trial callings.” But this last iH only
untrue because tho farmers, oblivious
of their own boat in tercets, have suffered
themselves to booomo, through the
omnipotent powers of combination, the
slaves of political demagogues, and tlio
viotims of capitalists, corporal ions,
middle-men and traders—mere vormin
upon the lion’s mam* of ngrieulturo—all
and each of which, collectively and in
dividnallv, aro indebted to the cultiva
tor of the Hoil for tho food which
nourishes avid the i aiiuent which clothes
their bodies. How common it is for
farmers ty neglect their business to en
list body aud soul in ignoble party and
local polities? How many plows are
tho furrow, while the

on local and scurrilous political sheets,
to tho neglect of the agricultural press?
FARM AND PARPEN.
now TO CARR FOR HORSES.
The European correspondent of the
California agriculturist writea from
Paris concerning tho care of horses as
follows:
To groom a home well and keep the
stables sweet are much, but not nil the
essentials; there is farther demanded an
attention to the animal’s state of health,
noting when tho horse’s condition ro
quires artificial aids, and regulating hi*
food according to his work. Ordinarily,
hay, straw and oats form tho roanlnr
dietary ; bnt as man occasionally re
quires tonics, and a morn generous
nourishment according to his work, so
also docs the horse. Hunters generally
reoeivo a weekly warm mi*h, consisting
either of bran, or better perhaps, of
barley flour, containing according to
tho tempornmen* of the animal, some
crashed beans or linseed. This mnsb
is very grateful after a hard run and
when the animal is wot, bnt mn*t not h*
given till an bonr or two after th*
homo has entered the stab Jo. Carrot*
ont and mixed with tho rations of oat*
morning and evoning, are refreshing,
brt to food horses constantly thus with
carrots has been found in Franco to ef
fect the kidneys and enfeeble the an
imal. Homes employed for spoed re
ooivo their hay only in email portions
at a time ; this prevents a greed for
drinking and distension of the stomach
Not a few practical men trace asthma
ami wheezing to this cauee. In the
matter of drinking, woll water is most
pernicious for horses, and tho longer
tlio period that elnpsos between their
drink and work, the hotter. Horse**
with tendency to gorge themselv* s with
Imv or straw ought to ho muzzled ; this
will check plethora. Tho flooring on
the rtahlo has much to do with the con
dition of health. Aspholto Hugging is

colics. Such poisoning is not at nil
