TEST THE COWS.
There 10 Loss TO the Farmer In
Keeping Poor Dairy
Stock,

Keeping record of the product of
each sow affords the dairyman an op-
portunity of knowing which cow gives
a profit. A dairyman who had been
in the habit of buying fresh cows to
replace those dried off commenced to
keep account with each, and the first
year he found that. after charging
each COW with her cost for food and
crediting her with all she produced.
there was a wide difference in the
profits. One COW gave profit of onl,,
80 for the year, while another gave s41
as profit. Selecting the. best cows.
and breeding to ,pure-breds males, he
found 1t cheaper to raise his cows
than to buy them, although the cost
was more the frst two years, but af-
ter that time he found that two cows
raised by him were equal to any three
cows purchased. Since then the quail
ity Of his stock has been improved.
There Is nothing that will convince
farmers SO surely as the keeping of
accounts with the cows, and it soon
induces them to improve.

SNAPPER GARRISON
Onee Famous Jockey is New
Salesman for q Bicycle
Firm.

Most sporting men in this city are
familiar with the name of Snapper
Garrison, the famous jockey of a de-
cade ago, whose sensational finishes
gave origin to the term, "a Garrison
finish" Garrison was to the turf at
that time what Tod Sloan or Johnny
and Lester Rieff are today. and he rode
more famous mounts than any other
jockey Of his time. Garrison made a
princely fortune at his vocation, but
in common with the sporting fratern-
ity at large, ran through with the
greater part of 1t In few years.

Principal among the articles contain
ed in the trunks are two religious
images and the robes In which they
were dressed. One of these is an
ebony figure Of the savior known In
Southern Luzon as the "Black Christ" :"
These images were seized by the
Eighth infantry at the headquarters
of a native religious sect in the town
of Pagsangan, province OF. Laguna,
while the regiment was operating ia
that district. The religious sect was
known as the Caldrun and the images
are said to have been used by the
insurgent leaders to exact war reve-
nue. from the people of the district
by imposing on their credulity.
A Filipino ,ventriloquist, 1t is said,
would apparently cause the images to
speak, and order the natives to give
their money SO the Americans might
be driven from the island. The carv-

this hotel was the Eagle" -
After running This hotel successful
iy for some years, he moved into {
larger and more modern style briel
building located ons the north side u
Arch street between Third and Fourtl
streets, and Immediately opposite one
OF the largest Friends churches in
that city. This new hotel was known
as the Union hotel, and had large
run Of customers from all over the
country, and Mr.. Web succeeded In
pleasing his many guests and to make
money. All Stark county people made
the Union hotel their headquarters
while In Philadelphia, and in those
days the merchants throughout this
region went to Philadelphia twice each
year, and that made quite a lot ol
people from this part of Ohio almost
constantly in the city.
The opening of the railroads, and
the more modern plan OF keeping
travelling statesmen out soliciting or
dcrs, has revolutionized all the old
time customs, so that comparatively
few of our people now get to Philadel-
ph,a, compared to what got there
when Thomas s. Webb kept hotel.
One drawback to Mr.. webbs more
complete success. he was a man who
generally became much excited during
political campaign ana sometimes al
lowed his ntterances to be of such u
nature as to offend those who held op..
,posite views. This lost him some pat
ronage, yet he was very popular, and
quite successful, and made consider
able money In the hotel business.
Mrs. Webb was a most excellent wom-
an and was we'll calculated to manage
the affairs that fell to her lot, but she
was delicate In health and could not
do what she otherwise would have
done to help forward the interests of
her husbands chosen business.
After the success that attended T. 8.

phie he concluded to go into the same
business in New York city, and &C.
cord'ngly opened a large hotel ON the
south side of Cortland street near
Broadway, and built up quite q bus.
mess, which he continued for several
years.
To the best of my recollection T. g.
Webb had but two children, Frank and
Jesse Webb, and as Mr.. Webb was
always great admirer of Massillon
and had many warm friends there, he
finally concluded no retire from active
hotel life and make his home In Mas

The government crop eport sent out
from Washington gives the condition

Already we have noted the fact that
Canton has had some veteran hote
keepers, such as Philip and George
Dewalt and William Hawk, ST., and
his son. William but Massillon has
also had one veteran hotel man whC
was very we'll known throughout the
cou1try. This was the late Thomas
8. Webb. Sixty-two years ago. the
Franklin house, kept by Mr.. Webb IN
Nassillon. was considered one OF the
most homelike stopping places in the
country. When first went to Mas
sillon 10 live in 1910 boarded for a
while ut this hotel. and thereby be-
came better acquainted with MIR. Webb
than under ordinary circumstances.
The Franklin house stood on Canal
street, one square south of Main
street. 1t was two story frame
building. On the north side of the lot
was an alley that led back to the
barns. This house was always well
kept while controlled by Mr. Webb.
1t vas not as well located for first
class trade as the Commercial hotel,
kept by the late William M. FoIger,
who was also a first class hotel keeper.
The Commercial was q two story prick
building located on the northeast cor
ner OF Erie and Main streets and was
afterward enlarged to a three story.

lin house in Massillon ror the night
and was SO well pleased with Mr..
Webb and the cordial treatment he
received. that he concluded to 60 no
