Ask the Old Farmer: Can you
tell me who owned, rode, or
drove the famous horse Dan
- Patch? FD, Chicago
Dan Fnich was a pacer and rose to
fame in sulky racing, which means
that he was driven, probably, by
various drivers At the height of hts
career he was owned by George Savage, president of the National Stock
Food Co,, who used pictures of this horse and other prize-winning
animals in hts advertising
Home Hints: Withering cut flowers can be revived by putting very hot water
