1T is A SECRET.
lselin Will Not Tell Cup Defenders
Material,

Bristol, r. l., Jan. 31.-C. Oliver Tsa-
lin OF New York arrived here a. noon
today and left again at 4 O'Clock for
New York. The time was spent in the
Herreshoffs' yard, looking over the
work that has been accomplished ON
the new defender, and in consultation
win Nat HerreShoff When he was
leaving for New York, Mr.. Iselin was
seen by representative of the asso-
ciated Press and asked if he would
name the metal Of which the new Yacht
was 70 be built. He said he could NOT
possibly give out that information, as
IL would be disadvantageous to his
plans to let the people on the other sids
OF the water get an inkling as to wbat
they were. There have been several
guesses as to what kind Of metal is 90
ing TO be used, and he did not deem II
wise at this point to put a stop to the
guessing, as the more guesses there
were, the better he would be pleased
He was then asked if the name for tba
new defender had been selected. He
stated that the public would not be
asked 10 contribute a name, as Mr..
Morgan and himself would see to that
and that although he had the matter
under consideration no name had Vet
been selected
When asked when the launchine
would be likely to take place. Mr.. Ise7
lin said that the contract called for the
vessel to be finished py June l. SO
that he thought that the Launching
would take place early in NAV.
In answer to a query as to whether
there would be any difficulty as to GET
tlng the yacht ready at that time. he
said no, from present appearances Tbe
work. is going on splendidlv nov tba+
the keel has been run out. He wouId
not give the weight Of the keel bnt
said that 1t was somewhat different
from that of the old Defender bmt
would not say whether it was in tbe
weight or in :he style. ''i9

THE FISHING CATS.

Among the many diverting stories told
in Dan Rice's recollections of Fifty Years
with a Menagerie," in the Youths Com
panion, is this one:
perform In public, they are intractable,
artful creatures, compared with dogs and
pigs. 1t is not that pussy lacks intelli-
gence; indeed, I think the shrewdness

much out Of the profession.

only because l want to tell of a family of
cats at Long Branch that is worthy to
perform before enlightened American au-
diences, although they are not in the pro-
fession.
These cats are one 'Malty' and her two
children; they belong to William Sea-
man of Branchport. Once or twice each
sunny, day they go to a float beside his
boat house. Seating themselves at the
edge of the float, they patiently await the
coming OF shoal of minnows, and when
the tiny fish approach within easy reach,
each cat darts a paw into the water and
endeaVors to throw some out upon the
hoat, which they usually succeed in do

the three frequently fight over the largest

THE VALUE OF cows.
It Depends on Their Capacity to Com
sumo Feed and Convert 1t
Into Butter Fat.

The value of cow should never be
based on her size, as this is poor cri.
terion to judge by. The value of
dairy COW depends on her capacity to
consume feed and turn it into butter
fat. The COW that cannot assimilate
large quantity of feed can never be
good butter COW, as we cannot get from
the cow more than we can get into her
in the way of those feeds which pro-
duce butter.
Last winter at an institute H. 3.
Gurler said the COW that makes $50
pounds of butter can be credited with
profit equal to the amount received
from so pounds. The cow that makes
300 pounds of butter should be credited
with 100 pounds and is worth twice
as much as the 250-pound cow. The
cow that makes $50 pounds is worth
three times as much as the one that
makes $50 pounds and six times as much
as the 225-pound COW. These figures
are not exact, however, for they imply
that the 350-pound COW would not eat
more than the 225-pound cow, which is
AoC l41O SuoC. AC w" lhaO "S4So
1000 pounds must have certain guam
tity of feed to maintain the vital forces
before she can turn any of her feed
into milk and butter fat. After this is
supplied the surplus she consumes goes
either to storing up fat in her own body
or to the production of butter fat.
Herein lies the difference in cows.
One will not eat enough beyond the
needs Of her body to make much butter.
Such a cow is of no value. Another
will eat enough, but it is stored up in
the shape of increased weight. This
kind of a COW should be sent to the
butcher. Another will eat large guam
tity of feed and all she consumes be-
yond her own needs becomes butter
fat. Such COW is the one everyone
who makes butter is glad to get. Such
cows dairymen should try to breed. No
matter what their breeding may be they
are valuable.

Cultivation of HOed Crops.

The frequent cultivation of hoed
crops is necessary to prevent the rapid
evaporation of moisture. If the ground
is sufficiently loose an implement with
many small teeth should be used, as
such cultivator leaves a finer soil
mulch than one with large teeth. A
soil mulch three inches deep is more
effective in saving moisture than one
of less depth. The land should be
titled after every rain, whether the fall
is heavy or light. The object of cult
walton is to destroy weeds and to pre-
vent the formation of a surface crust.
This crust, if allowed TO remain I'M
broken, favors the capillary movement
of water to the surface of the ground
where the moisture evaporates. Use
the cultivator several times between
rains, if the intervals are long.
