The Heart.

The human heart is practically a
force pump about six inches in length
and four inches in diameter. 1t beats
20 times per minute, 1920 times per
hour, 100000 times per day and &c.
10000 times per year and 1916, 44O,
600 times in seventy years, which is
mans appointed threescore years and
ten" At each of these beats it forces
21a ounces of blood through the sys-
tenn, ITS ounces per minute, 656A
pounds per hour or 7O3 tons per day.
All the blood in the body, which is
about thirty pounds, passes through
the heart every three minutes. This
little organ pumps every day what is
equal to lifting 122 tons one foot high
or one ton 100 feet high-that is, one
ton to the top of a forty yard mill
chimney or sixteen persons seven
score each to the same height Dur
ing the seventy years Of mans life
this marvellous little pump, without
single moments rest, night or day,
discharges the enormous quantity of
178,S5O tons of blood.

The man who reported his COW CIV
ing thirty pounds Of milk when fed

a dairyman covet a feed capable of ex-
cusing the miller, the feed dealer, the
freight rates and the hauling from
town. Five tons to the acre and good
COW capable of converting each pound
of hay into a pound of milk worth a
cent or better! We don't know how
much a COW would cost that had such
capabilities, but the analysis Of alfalfa
represents it as almost as rich in nutri-
ents as wheat bran. Several have
found great results from alfalfa alone,
but we do not get as much real actual
testimony from feeders as we would
like We have had the pleasure Of
pasturing one experimental plot, of
feeding it as a soiling ration and Of
feeding small load Of the hay. While
these experiments were on a small
scale they are quite convincing that it
will greatly stimulate the milk flow.

to cowpeas. That there are foods for
which the cows mouth waters and her
mammary glands respond with milk
seems to many dairymen a fiction

From Dry Feed to Grass.
In changing from dry feed to grass
1t is we'll to go somewhat slowly, espe-
cially if the flow of milk is large. The
young. immature grass, especially in
early spring, as Is we'll known, contains
large amount Of water, a condition
commonly called "washy." Wheat and
rye pastures are Of the same nature.
The dry feed ration should therefore be
continued and be gradually reduced
for two weeks or more after the grass
is large enough for feeding.
Abundant Grass Is Enough.
AS long as fresh pasture grasses are
abundant the COW is about as we'll
provided for as she can we'll be to
produce milk economically. Unfortu-
nately the season Of abundant pastur-
age Is often short. The good dairyman
looks ahead and has provision made
for this lack of pasturage. Get in

Feeding the Dairy Heifer.
The heifer intended for the dairy
should be first to last fed generously
to promote growth. but not fat form
ing; hence the rations should be a
judicious feeding Of oats, bran. clover,
shorts. Then when the making Of
milk is required the fat forming habit
will not have been made feature Of

ter conditions this year were perfect
for the big regatta and the largest
crowd that has ever witnessed the
event looked on. The varsity crew Of
Cornell evidently outclassed all the
others, as they finished the course of
four miles six lengths ahead of the
next boat, covering the distance in
1857. The Georgetown crew nosed
out the men from Wisconsin and
finished second by short Margin
with Pennsylvania, syracuse and Co
lumbia trailing behind the latter. In
the freshman race Cornell broke the
record of 9:19R for the two miles,
made by Yale in 1897. going the route
in 9:18. Syracuse and Wisconsin
with Columbia fourth and Pennsyl-
vania fifth. In the varsity four-oared
race of two miles the Cornell team won
in 1924. Pennsylvania finished Sec
on in this, with Wisconsin third and
Columbia fourth.
The oarsman from Yale university
also demonstrated their superiority
over those of Harvard by winning all
three events in the annual regatta be-
tween the two colleges on the Thames
river at New London, Conn Yale
four took the first race by three COM
Portable lengths in 059 2-5 The New
Haven freshmen, in closer race,
finished length and three-quarters
ahead Of the Harvard youngsters in
9:43 Is. In the big race Harvard aft
er leading for a mile, rowed pluckily
to defeat at the hands of YaIe's men,
who in the last half Of the contest con-
trolled the situation in unmistable
style. 1t was the first time that Yale
has won all three events since the re-
gatta reached its present programme.
Yale's time in the big race was
20:19 As, within 9 As second of the
record of the course. The freshmen's
record was broken by Yale's time Of

SPRAYING POTATOES.
Bordeaux Mixture and Paris Green
For Blight and Potato Bugs.


In order to show how in some Sec
tons farmers may check the potato
blight at small cost it may be of inter
est to briefly reproduce an account Civ.
en- in Rural New Yorker of method
used on New York farm last season
A twenty-six acre field of potatoes
was sprayed three times with Dor
deaux mixture at a cost considerably
below the usual estimate. Adjacent to
the potato field Is a wood lot through
which runs a small brook near the
fence separating the fields. An iron
pipe was laid from the potato field I'M
der the fence into the water. To the
upper end was attached an upright
pipe, to which was fastened an ordi-
nary cistern pump. The water was
pumped into barrels as needed, thus
avoiding the expense of hauling water.
The outfit was moved along as the
work progressed.
A stock solution Of blue vitriol was
made by dissolving 100 pounds in fifty
gallons zone barely of water, so that
each gallon contained two pounds of
the poison. A stock solution Of lime
was also made by shaking enough fresh
lime to fill large tub, care being tax
en- to keep the lime covered with water
after it was prepared. BY this method
the blue vitriol and lime were ready
for use at any time. Two gallons of
the stock solution of blue vitriol We're
poured into barrel, which was then
pumped half full of water A pailful of
lime was then diluted with about twen-
ty-flve gallons of water. so that both
the lime and the blue vitriol were di-
luted before being combined. In this
way Il mixture is made that will stay
in suspension longer than when the
lime is added before being thinned. The
proper amount Of lime was determined
by the ferricyanide Of potassium test.
The mixture was strained into the
sprayer to remove particles likely to
clog the nozzles.
The accompanying Illustration shows

made affair. The fifty gallon barrel is
mounted on a platform set on a. old
potato digger that had outgrown its
usefulness. The spray pump is fas-
tened to the top of the barrel and is
connected with the wheel, as shown at
the right, so that no hand pumping is

where the latter lost the match, thre
down and one to play. The victory
and the form shown by Miss Anthony
are of especial interest because they
indicate that the west will have a
formidable candidate this year for the
national woman's championship, held
in the fall. Western players have in
the past annexed their fair share of
the championship honors, as the sue
cesses of the professionals FOULS,
Herd, w. Smith and Auchterlonie in
the open event, and of amateurs Mac
Donald, Whigham and James in the
amateur event testify So far as the
scroll of honor in the women's cham
pionship is concerned, however. there
has been a distressing vacancy as far
as western names are concerned. II
there is any one player west OF the Al
legheny mountains capable of upset
ting the line of successes of the east
ern players it is Miss Anthony, and on
her the hopes of the west will to
large extent center when the women
experts meet on the links of the Chi
cago Golf club at Wheaton. The play
at the recent tournament showed good
form and improvement in at least
two other players Miss Carpenter and
Mrs w. A. Alexander. This year the
eastern representatives will be playing
on unfamiliar links, handicap the
westerners have had to face for sever
al seasons. Taken all together the
chances are very bright for a western
Journey for the next women's open
championship in the game of golf.
The first half of the international
handball match for the championship
of the world between Michael Egan, Of
Jersey City, the present champion, and
Timothy Twohill. of Kanturk, Ireland,
the Irish champion, has been played in
Jersey City. Seven games were played
and Egan won all of them, the best
showing made by the visitor being six
aces in the third game. In addition to
the championship honor the match will
decide a side stake of $3.50 each. Both
principals have sailed for Ireland and
the remainder of the match will be de-
cided at Kanturk July IL.

required. From the pump the Dor
deaux mixture Is forced through the
horizontal pipe at the rear. discharging
through six Vermorel nozzles, two for
each row Of potatoes. The safety valve
is so arranged that when the pressure
becomes too great the discharge is into
the barrel. thus helping to agitate the
mixture. As there was no pressure
gauge it is impossible to give the exact
pressure used, but it was estimated to
be from seventy to eighty pounds. Two
men did all the work. one driving the
sprayer while the other made the Dor,
deauX mixture. With the conveniences
already described the twenty six acres
were sprayed in one and one-half days.
Arscnical poisoning was mixed with
the bordeaux mixture, so that treat
ment for both the potato bugs and the
blight was given at one operation. The
total amount Of blue vitriol used in the
three sprayings was 2SO pounds, so that
nearly barrel Of the mixture was used
per acre. While the amount Of blue
vitriol and the quantity Of bordeaux
mixture were slightly less than is usu-
ally recommended, excellent results
were obtained. The vines remained
green several weeks longer than did the
unsprayed fields near by. Neighboring
unsprayed fields gave yields varying
from twenty-five bushels to q hundred
bushels per acre. The sprayed field
yielded 122 bushels per acre. Compar-
ing this yield with the hundred bushel
yield, the gain would be twenty two
bushels per acre, or $40 bushels for the
entire field. At so cents per bushel the
increase would mean 1886. A fairer
comparison, however, would be to take
an average Of ninety bushels, which
would give gain Of 1872 bushels, or
$416. From this sum should be deduct
ed cost of material and labor Early In
August the writer saw the sprayer at
work In the field If the first and Sec
ond sprayfngs had been given slightly
earlier there would have been less dam
age done by the potato bugs and the
yield would have been greater, for it
was observed that many hills were Sc
verely injured before the poison got in
its work. This emphasizes the impor
lance Of promptness and thoroughness.
The poison should be applied as soon as
the eggs begin to hatch, II not before.
