FAMOUS COWS.
The Records of Holsteins and Jer-
seys Compared.


seys Compared.
A comparison of the records of some
of the famous COWS will no doubt be
useful to some as demonstrating what is
possible with cows as butter producers.
There is strong rivalry between the
Hdlsteins and the Jerseys in the pro-
dUction of butter, and each breed has
its admirers. The HoIsteinS possess the
advantage of large size, the steers Of
that breed competing successfully with
the ShOrthOrnS and HerefordS as beef
producers at the fat stock shows, which
places them in the front rank as the
best breed for beef, butter and milk
combined, thus emitting them to the dis
tinction of an :'all-purpose breed" if
such attainment is possible. The Jer-
seys are small, and are famous as butter
producers, but cannot compete with the
Holstelns in the production OF milk.
soz Public Tests.
While some of the Jersey cows have
reached high positions as record-break-
erS when the tests were conducted UNI
der the auspices of interested parties,
and which, perhaps, are correct. yet the
public tests have been favorable to the
HOlsteins. At the test MADE at the
great Madison Square Garden show, in
New York, one of the Holsteins pro-
duced 2 pounds and ~ ounces of butter
in twenty-fOur hours, and another Hol-
stein produced fraction over pounds
of butter in the same time. The high
est yield for the Jerseys was l pound
and Az ounces. These records are not
the highest, but they are the fairest,
because the tests made were In public,
and with the two breeds in competition,
both being treated alike.
Richness Of Milk.
1t is safe to assert that but few are
aware of the richness of milk FROM some
cows. 1t is reported that in the test of
the Jersey cow. Landseer's Fancy, she
made pounds and 1921 ounces of but
ter from 9 pounds and ~ ounces of
milk. AS quart of milk is about two
pounds. her yield was pound of butter
from about ~ quarts Of milk. At the
same time it may be noticed that while
the cow produced pounds and 1917
ounces of butter she only pro-
duced about ~ quarts of milk.
Whether it is an advantage to have
cow make a large yield of one
product and but little of the other is
question being discussed by the advo-
Gates of the rival breeds. The Holstein
advocates claim that milk is valuable
product as we'll as butter, and tina
when cow yields large quantity Of
milk. and also produces large weight
of butter, she is more valuable for that
reason. When it is known that some
Holsteins yield from forty to fifty
quarts OF milk daily, aud are great but
ter producers as well. the claim is en-
titled to consideration, though the
Jersey will also retain her many friends
as one of the best butter producing
breeds.

ORDWAY'S GREAT RUN
The Nushka Bowler Has the
Highest Score in the
Globe Tourney.
Two of the Best Games in
the Series for the
Trophy.
Humors Compelled to Bow

Kegels Upset the Calcula-
tions Of the Enterprise
Team.

The games played last evening in the
GLOBE tournament figure among the
best played in the series. The Nushkas
have 10 thank Ordway for their success.
His score is the highest individual score
yet obtained in the tourney. The
Kegels Overcame the Enterprise i'll a
well contested game, which gives them
y good lead for the trophy. The inter-
est in bowling increases as the tourna-
ment progresses and it is safe to predict
that before it concludes the bowlers of
the city will have difficulty in keeping
down their enthusiasm. The winner
of the trophy has no easy task, as from
play up to date the various teams are
pretty well matched.

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 24.-An lmpor-
tant meeting Of the executive heads Of
the Metropolitan club was held this
evening, at which the question of the
date for their forthcoming contest be-
tween Needham and Ryan for the well
terweight championship of the world
was discussed. The original date was
fixed for March 2, the day after Mard
Gras, the same date on which the
Olympic club had arranged for the
meeting between Maher and Fitzsim-
mons. The conflict of dates created a
split among the sporting element here,
which, in the end, was predicted that it
would injure both clubs. The Met
ropolitanS have fixed the day OF the
Needham and Ryan contest for Monday

THIS HAPPENED IN TRINIDAD.
Eggs That a Snake Had Swallowed We're
Matched Into Chickens,

Eggs That a Snake Had Swallowed We're
Matched Into Chickens.
Some time ago Mr.. Anderson, the pro-
prietor of the tobacco plantation of Cha
qaanas, on the island of Trinidad, was an
noyed by being deprived of his usual
breakfast egg day after day." an ophidolo-
-gist remarked, beginning a story. 1.-The
loss was the cause of considerable disturb
iance, for the cook, a corpulent negro, had
limited her suspicious that it was owing to
the thievery of Biharri, the HindOo butler.
The latter, on hint from an American
visitor, had constructed an ingenious nest
to beguile hen into laying three or four
eggs day, and he had been more than
usually attentive to every cackle, but in
stead of three eggs every day not an egg
could be found, although the hen cackled
as usual.
MIR. Anderson was displeased,. and
among the servants recrimination was loud
and bitter. Biharri watched the cook and
the cook watched Biharri, while the house
maid and the stable boy watched both and

Presently the joyous hen few forth
cackling louder than ever. The watchers
rushed from their hiding places, crowded
around the nest and plunged their hands
in to grab the prize. AS they did 80 an
enormous snake shot out, and whilesoream-
ing in chorus they rushed for the door.
The cook fell over the snake, Biharri fell
over the cook, and the stable boy and the
housemaid took refuge SIN the kitchen.
Mr.. Anderson jumped from his horse and
with his riding whip stretched the snake
dead by a blow ON the head.
''Then the servants gathered around the
dead thief, and Biharri's face wore a tri,
umphant smile Of innocence vindicated.
He pulled out his knife, ripped open the
shake and nine fine eggs rolled out from
the capacious stomach. They were marked
and placed under a hen. Three weeks af.
terwaTd the incubation was finished and
six young chickens burst their shells. The
other three eggs were unProductive, owing
perhaps to their longer exposure to the ac-
ton of the powerful gastric juices of the

known as the devourer of the young of the

Changing the Calendar.

An addition to the calendar such as is
made in leap year is called an "intercala
tion;" the added day is said to be Inter
calated, "and is known as an ''intercalary'
day. The month in which the intercalary
day of the leap years has been placed has
all along been, February. Throughout its
whole history this has been the most un.
stable of the months. 1t has formed a
kind of quarry from which materials have
been dug for repairing the rest of the cal.

way into the calendar tOgether-January
at the beginning and February at the end
of the year. Then February was put after

the last, Julius Caesar gave the alternate

366 days and only twenty nine in ordinary
years of 365. This arrangement, which is
greatly better than our present irregular
scheme of months, was upset to crafty the
vanity of Augustus.
Caesar had called the month Quintilis by
his name Julius-our July; and so Angus
tus, though he had done nothing to reform
the calendar, must have his month as WELL
and he must have it as long, too, as that of
Julius. The month Sextilis was accord.

its thirty days were increased by one, OF
