KENosHA BEATS wAUKEGAN
Y. M. c. A. Bowlers win the First Games
by Good Margins

The first of the series of bowling
matches with outside teams was
played between the Kenosha Y. M. c..
A. and WauKegan Thursday night on
the Waukegan alleys. The Kenosha
bowlers played strong game from
start to finish and not only won the
total pins by a comfortable margin of
2 462 to 2,361, but also captured all
three games. The Waukegan bow1ers
played in hard luck, their best player,
Mr.. Raglan, making frequent splits,
but the Kenosha men had their share
of hard luck. Kenosha, in view of
playing on a foreign alley, little
thought Of winning out against their
opponents, but by steady playing they
landed the first game by score of $40
to sos. Waukegan forced the playing
in the second game and until the
eighth inning it was an even match,
but Kenosha forged ahead in the last
two innings and won again by 867 to
801. Both teams took fall in the last
game, but Kenosha again finished
strong, winning by 778 to 755. Fred
Smith, of Kenosha, won both high
scores, PA for singles and 528 for to-
tails. A return match will be played
here on the Y. M. C. A. alleys within
the next two weeks. The scores of
the games stood:

Early Paintings of George Hitchcock
Found in the Attic of a Keno
sha Home.
HEIRLOoMs OF AN OLD FAMILY
Pictures by Americas Mo- Famous Artist
Found in the Attic of Idlewi1d Cot
tage by Walter NJ. Cowell

Attorney Walter M. Cowe1l, Of this
city, while looking through lot OF
old heirlooms Friday afternoon made
a discovery which will be of great in
terest to the students of contemporary
eous art Attorney Cowe1l is cousin
of George Hitchcock, the American
who is now the hero of the salons OF
Paris, and whose painting, "The Last
Hours of Sapho," recently sold in Paris
for $4,000. The picture is now being
exhibited in the art institute IN Chi
cago and for this reason the study OF
the work of Hitchcock is receiving a
great deal Of serious consideration by
American artists.
While searching through the attic of
his house the Kenosha attorney found
a trunk which had formerly belonged
to the Hitchcock family and in the
trunk was found a large number Of
paintings done by Hitchcock IN his
early years as an artist. Young
Hitchcock was resident of Prov1-
dence, r. l., and his talent IS an artist
developed early in life. When he was
about twenty years of age he began
painting and among the studies found
in the old trunk in the Kenosha attic
were many of his first works. One of
the pictures is labeled 1872. 1t is a
pretty piece of landscape and Mr.
Cowel1 is of the opinion that this is
the first finished work of Hitchcock.
Another study that is considered a
noteworthy one is small painting
done on palette during the first years
of Mr. Hitchcock's work in Europe.
This is particularly fine piece of work
and is considered to be OF great value.
Another of the pictures is small
portrait of the artists grandmother,
which is said to have been his first
portrait While the painted work ap-
pears as the work of an amateur it
shows the skill of the artist and it is
Interesting for this reason. Another
of the portraits is one of the artist
himself at the age of twenty-one'
Among the other pictures are other
members of the family and prominent
people of the early seventies.
The most interesting portion of the
collection is found in a lot of sketches
made during the years when Mr.
Hitchcock was a student in college
These sketches are drawn on the fly
leaves of books, on scraps of paper, on
personal cards, on envelopes, and, II
fact, on anything that came to the ar
lists hands. Many of these sketches
portray the college life of Mr.. Hitch
cock. They are exceedingly well done
Among them are number of charcoal
sketches of men and women famous al
that time made either from memory OF
copied from pictures of the time.
Along with these pictures Mr.
Cowel1 has found many letters and
papers which are interesting in show
ing the early life of the struggling ar
fist who now stands near the head OF
the great list of American painters
who have won success in Paris.
Mr.. Cowell has refused 10 make pub
lie these letters but states that at some
future time, with the permission OF
Mr.. Hitchcock, they will be given to
the world in a small volume.

Street Bridge.
LONG DELAYS ARE EXPECTED.
Bridge will Not Be Ready For Erection
Property offered For Power House.

| After many delays the officials OF
the Kenosha Street Railway company
| Thursday let the contract for the con
struction of new steel bridge over
| Pike river at the Main street crossing
! the contract being awarded to the
| Wisconsin Bridge company, of Mil
yankee, who were the lowest bidders
for the work. William Hinrichs, OF
Milwaukee, the vice president of the
company, was in Kenosha today and
made arrangements to start on the
work of building the new bridge al
once in order to complete it at the
earliest possible moment.
The vice president, in speaking OF
the work, said that there would be a
long delay in the completion of the
bridge on account of the fact that 1t
would be fully six months before the
work in the shops could be completed
ready for erection. When this work
is done it will take full thirty days to
set the bridge IN position across the
channel. There is no statement made
as to the contract price of the bridge,
UuL 1uSlQG SOuINCS II 10 SldtSO
that the completed structure will cost
the Railway company in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000.
This announcement on the part of
the contractor of the long delay neces-
sary for the completion of the bridge
will not be received with favor by the
people of the city as it will make it
certain that the cars will not be rum
ming on this side of the river until
after August Of next year.
In the meantime the Railway COM
pany is seeking a place for a power
house and it is stated today that an
offer has been made to the company by
f. J. Gottfredsen to sell the company
the old brewery building for use in
this way. The old building is splen-
didly located for the purpose and it is
stated that it can be purchased at rea-
sonab1e rates.
Another plan to furnish power to
the road is being considered and that
is for the company to secure power
from south of Waukegan, bring it to
.FAenosha by means of relay stations.
The appeal of the injunction slit to
the Supreme court is now being per-
fected and the attorney for the COM
pany states that the papers will be
filed the first of next week.

SORGHUM FOR COWS.

Must he supplemented by Feed Rich
In Protein.
]. G. Haney Of the Kansas expert
ment station in answer to an inquiry as
to the value Of sorghum as food for
cows says in The Breeders Gazette:
The sweet varieties of sorghum,
which presume are meant, constitute
some Of the principal feeds for milk
cows. So far as l am Informed and
from long experience in feeding
sorghum to all kinds of stock | know
of nothing harmful In the result. 1t Is
very starchy, contains n very small
amount Of proteln-the part Of the feed
that Is essential to the COW in prodnc-
ing either milk or good, strong calf
and so needs to be fed with some rich
food like bran, oilmeal or soy beans.
II alfalfa is fed rs part Of the rough
ness, much better results are obtained.
The bad effects of feeding cane or
sorghum to milk cows are caused by
what it lacks rather than what it con-
tains. Good, bright cane hay that was
cut when the seed was In the soft
dough stage Is an excellent feed for
dairy cows. 1t has a laxative tenden-
cy, Is easily digested and cooling in
its effects, but it must be supplement-
ed by some feed rich in protein.
Sorghum hay contains only "a per
cent Of digestible protein in each 100
pounds and has nutritive ratio Of
1.18, while alfalfa contains 1O.G per
cent Of digestible protein in each 100
pounds and has nutritive ratio OF
1888. Some have held that 1t is only
the seed that caused trouble.
At the New Jersey experiment sta
ton milk cows were changed from a
ration consisting largely Of corn to the
same amount Of sorghum seed. which
was nine pounds per day per COW. The
cows while being fed the corn in the
ration each gave on the average 28.1
pounds Of milk per day, and after the
change was made to sorghum seed they
gave 24.8 pounds per day. A change
was then made back to corn. and they
each gave 81 pounds daily.
This shows that the seed does not
compare favorably with corn as a milk
producing ration, but there were no
disastrous results. Cane or sorghum
hay Is best when fed before Feb. l..
The warm spells later cause 1t to fer
ment to some extent, and the stock tire
Of 1t. Kaffir corn hay is better for
spring feed. 1t is quite n prevalent
practice to mix the two, half and half
at sowing. This gives variety.

How an Illinois Farmer Prepares

GOOD DAIRY RATION.
Relative Value of Various Kinds OF
Hav and Grain.

Hav and Grain.
An Illinois dailyman asked informa-
ton as to how to compound the best
milk ration from corn and cob meal,
oatmeal, bran. oat hay cured in the
bundle, mixed timothy and clover hay,
clover forming one-fourth of the mix
ture, says w. ]. Fraser Of the Illinois
experiment station.
While corn is too carbonaceous to be
a good food for dairy COWS, yet in this
section Of the country, where it can be
grown so cheaply, we must depend
upon it for the basis of our ration
even for dairy COWS. With the grains
mentioned l should advise feeding six
pounds corn and cob meal, three
pounds oatmeal and three pounds bran
per day, with all the mixed hay and
oat hay, equal parts, that the cows will
eat. Each animal will probably con-
sumo 16 to 20 pounds per day, depend
ing upon the individuality Of the COW
and also upon the condition Of the hay.
Dat hay il cut while it is still green
and il properly cured makes an ex-
cellent feed for dairy cows. The oats
do not pass through whole when fed in
this manner, but are remasticated with
the hay and nearly all ground with the
teeth, which is not the case when whole
thrashed oats are fed. This saves both
the thrashing and grinding bills.
Clover hay is one of the best hays
we have for cows, because it is rich in
albuminoids, and this is the class Of
substances almost invariably lacking
in the dairy rations Of the corn belt.
Timothy hay is one of the poorest hays
for cows. should advise replacing Il
pound or two of the corn and cob meal
with gluten meal or oil meal, as this
adds to the variety and also makes a
much better balanced ration.
