The Thoroughbred Dafryman.

The Thoroughbred Dafrynian.
1t takes the Thoroughbred dairyman
to produce good herd of dairy cows.
This Is because there is no rdle that
may be laid down by which the work
OF dairy herd producing may be uner-
ringly accomplished. The work is not
one that may be cut out by machinery
after some particular pattern, but. to
use common phrase, we must "cut
and fit" The whole thing comes
back to the quality of the man that
does the cutting and fitting"
We have had very small number
of thoroughbred dairymen in the past.
and that is why we have SO few real
ly good dairy herds. Fortunately the
state dairy schools and the progress.
sive dairymen in all the. states are
now laboring to produce large num-
Der OF thoroughbred dairymen and we
nave reason to hope that in the fu-
ture the tribe will not be. so small as
It has been in the past.
The thoroughbred dairyman is al
ways trying to educate himself in
dairy knowledge. He finds this hard
task with the present sources OF in.
formation; for the information itself
is but just being accumulated. Much
he learned yesterday he is compelled
to let go of today, and some part of
what he learns to-day will have to be
discarded tomorrow. But the thor.
oughbred is. not discouraged by this
state of things. He is not only not
satisfied with the amount Of informa.
ton that he can get from others but
he sets to work to do some expert.
menting on his own behalf. He finds
enough to keep him busy in trying to
solve the problems that are yet un.
solved or that have been solved in a
very imperfect manner. This kind of
dairyman is making his impress on
the country because he is a worker
and knows how to intelligently direct
his operations, whether they relate to
the work Of his dairy or to the expert
ments he is conducting.
| The thoroughbred dairyman learned
long ago to control his temper and to
be gentle with his dairy animals. He
also insists on the other men having
the care of the cows being gentle. He
has learned perhaps by instinct that
a rough manner or boisterous voice
does not increase the milk flow OF
the production of cream. Gentleness
is one of the things that marks him
as distinct from. most of his fellows

The first Thanksgiving proclaimed in Boston was
on February r. 1890. 1t is the often referred

Pilgrims. Here is the true story of it:
The winter had been hard Food nearly
gone. and munger and scurvy abounded. Cotton
Mather tells of one who invited guests and
had food for them except clans. but without
apology gave thanks to God who had gwen them

are recorded by Maher) of the hardships OF that

Winthrop was in the of giving away his own last
handful of meal to a needy at his door when a
ship was sighted in the harbOr. bringing supplies to
the distressed little city.
This in February. and just before the fifth of
the month a day that had been set for fasting and
PRAYER The day of fasting not kept. Rather
the citizens counted that they honOred God more
by making good of his blessings. They had done
fasting enough. But one was permitted to make
merchandise of the cargo of the ship. 1t was bought
entirely from the public funds and distributed accord

But something more than this seemed fitting.
On February they met IN their meeting houses
and gave God solemn and heartfelt thanks for de

faced IN any subsequent year

Although the McCoy-O'Brien six
round battle at Philadelphia recently
went the limit there is no coubt as
10 who had the better of the contest
at the conclusion.
The general opinion among the
spectators was that Mccoy outpointed
and outfcTghl the Phi9adelphian, and,
that he would have put O'Bricn out
had he not grown tired in the tiaa!
rounds.
There is talk OF a return match be-
tween O,Brien and Mccoy, 10 take
place at ST. Louis. If the pair meet
again the contest will be limited to
Is or 20 rounds instead of 6.
The Philadelphia bouts, according
to the experts, are too brief TO test
the merits of TWO clever boxers such
as Mccoy ana ~ brlen. II Is stH SstSS
matter for a man of NicCoys clever
ness and ability to avoid an opponent
for six rounds. when it Is considered
that Joe Grim has never been stopped
in six rounds. although he has met
the hardest hitters in the ring.
A dispatch has been received in
New York from Morris Levi. Match
maker of the Hayes Valley Athletic
Club. of San Francisco, offering
purse for a 20-round mill between the
Kid and Lankey Bob, the same to
take place on July i. Mccoy has &C
cepted and he wants the club to let
him know further details, and if ev-
erything is rosy he will sign articles
at once. AS Mccoy is going to help
Jack Munroe get in trim for JefrieS
he thinks that match on the Pacific
Coast would be just the proper caper-
as he has made arrangements to re-
main in California until the fall.
Should Bob accept which is like
ly, he may demand a liberal guarantee.
which Levy is prepared to give. The
only barrier to the encounter which
sports fear is the weight question
Firz may ask Mccoy to get to l5S
pounds, the same as the latter did Tor
his siX-round essay with Jack O'Brien
at Philadelphia. Mccoy made the
weight all right, but was bit weak
