FOOTBALL AND PUGILISM.

The mimic war of the football field
meets with no favor but vigorous con-
iemnation in the sanctum of Nle New
ION Herald. Among other severe and
itinging structures upon the game the
Herald editor compares 1t to prize
lighting, and, after what must have
,een perfunctory examination, of the
comparative merits Of the two sports
inds pugilisnn decent and "a Sunday
school game compared with football.
lit is a prevalent and perhaps natural
custom for us who have grown stiffen-
ia and dyspeptic from age or lack of
exercise to view the rude sports of the
young and vigorous with an advers.
eye. Perhaps self contrast with thu
1.-the. fierce, eager-eyed young tigers
who run with the ball or writhe and
wrestle in the scrimmages for Its pos
session, sours our mental gastric juice
and renders US incapable of assimilat-
ing the real good of a rough and dusty
game like football. To some stomachs
all food except Cruel is welsh rarebit,
and all hours midnight. The Herald's
view Of football whispers OF dyspepsia
and rheumatic diathesis.
Violence is common to both football
and pugilism, but then the parallel
cases. Such brutality as creeps into
football is Incidental. Pugilism is
professionally brutal. One is contest
for school supremacy. between college
or nigh school athletes. who are sooner
or later to take possession of the
worlds affairs: the other hired bat
tie between bruisers for the means to
continue a dlssapated career. Football
Is a sport. pugilism profession. The
training of the football player goes te
make character as we'll as muscular
skill. Il favors self-reliance. restraint
obedience to the rules, fairness ana
manliness. the qualities which make to-
ward good citizenship. It teaches the
necessity Of preparation to success and
the ability to take defeat with outward
euuanimity. To be sure boxing has
much the same effect upon the faculties
% football. hut boxing is not prize
flghting.
TO place the decency Of pugilism
above that Of football is inadmissably
unjust. There Is precisely whore they
differ most. Football keeps decent
company. Pugilism does not. There is
. vast difference between the crowds
along the side lines and those about
the ring side. The football player APP
peals to different element than does
the pugilist He is different stuff from
the prize fighter. None who saw the,

eamely and without complaint or at
tempt to gain point by other than le-
Ultimate methods. but believes the boys
will carry the manliness they displayed
upon the football field into other fields
OF endeavor. And these are qualities
the world needs.
Il Is true that football Is rough, too
rough, but roughness is one Of the evil
dehces of virility. II it is rude, It is
strong and strength Tempered with
sensibiiity, is the foundation of ma
lions as Of individuals. Perhaps some
what OF its roughness might be elimi-
mated with advantage, but 80 long as
the game carries with 1t so much OF
honest manliness. it will be entitled to
resent its comparison to pugilism and
to retain its popularity.

KEEPING cows IN TOWN.

hEEflNSf SONS In IOW M
NEW Hartford Review.]
There are two cows in New Hart
ford, the property OF Mr.. Adam Hoff-
man, which pay their way and give
their owner nice profit besides. 1t
has been argued many times that
-keeplng cows in town doesn't pay" II
all depends upon the grade OF cows,
the manner in which they are kept,
the price obtained from their product
owner looks at the question
Mr. Hoffman says that the two cows
spoken of above ordinarily produce ten
pounds OF butter week, and with a
little heavier feeding would produce
from twelve TO fifteen pounds per week
This product at 25 cents per pound
would bring in between $40 and SIS
per month. Mr.. Hoffman declares the
two cows have produced for their
owner In less than a year $50. The
Review is not posted as to what pas
turage costs in this locality, but would
Judge that 81 per month FOR each head
would be fair estimate, and that this
amount would also be sufficient for
keeping during the winter months. At
this estimate, which may possibly be
a trifie low. there would be net profit
of at least 800 per year in keeping
two cows Placing the value OF the
COW at $50. and stabling for the two at
$50, the interest on your money at 8
per cent. which Is high rate and
which would always be figured by the
financier. you would have an added
expense of 312. Your work OF caring
for COW or two cows can hardly be
counted any money value whatever. as
the work is only good exercise and
would be done when there is nothing
else to do. Therefore, after deducting
all expenses. you have a profit of
something like $S5 from the produce OF
two cows.
