ROBERT j. AND GENTRY.
The Crack PAGERS Meet mt Point
Breeze This Afternoon.

Today marks an epoch in the history Of
the turf. Robert ]. and John 3. Gentry,
the peerless kings of the pacing world, will
meet at the Point Breeze track at Philadel-
phia this afternoon, when indications point
to one of the greatest contests ever wit
messed. Both of these flyers were sent sew
eral miles in fast time yesterday, and from
the showing made by them 1t Is not at all
unlikely that the competition record will be
clipped. The son Of Hartford seems to have
suffered very little from his long trip from
Buffalo, and yesterday travelled with an
easy gait. which would lead many to be-
lieve that he had been worked over the
track for the past week.
Driver Ed. Geers, who will handle the
reins behind him today, drove him yes
terday, and predicts an easy victory for his
charge. although he does not by any means
underestimate the pacing qualities of his
formidable rival M. f. McEnery, who will
be behind John r. Gentry in this after
Moons race, feels equally confident Of his
charge, and the prospect of exciting fin
ishes are certain to draw one Of the largest
crowds ever assembled within the gates Of
the Point Breeze Driving Park. The race
today will be best three heats in five for
purse Of 1000

SUGAR BETS FOR COWS.

The Ohio Agricultural Experiment
Station has given the results Of two
feeding experiments made during the
winters of 1S9O-9f and 1912, in
which cows were fed alternately on
rations containing either corn silago
or sugar beets Sixteen COWS were
included in each test. and all received
a basal ration consisting Of six pounds
per COW per lay, either Of corn meal
or Of a mixture of bran and oil meal
with what hay they would eat in add.
ton to the beets or silage.
In addition to this basal ration, hall
the cows were fed on thirty pounds
Of corn silage each per day and to
the other half fifty pounds Of field
bcetS We're given per COW per day. At
the end Of three weeks the silage and
beets were transposed, the meal and
hay remaining unchanged and this
was repeated twice again at intervals
of three weeks, so that the cows were
fed through four alternating periods Of
three weeks each. All food eaten and
water drank was weighed: each COW
was weighed every day; the milk was
weighed at each milking and the per
centage of fat in the milk was deter
mined once a week
The dry matter in the various foods
was determined by drying at the tenn
perature Of boiling water, the result
being that about - per cent of the
silage and 10 per cent. OF the beets
was left as dry matter The beet "a
ton therefore contains less dry matter
than the slage ration; but the cows
fed on beet ate so much more hay than
those fed on silage that they consumed
considerable more dry matter
