A well known scientific farmer of
West Bath points out to d Bath Times
reporter the reason for the scarcity of
Maine turkeys at Thanksgiving time
and Christmas. Says this farmer.
Twenty or thirty years ago there
were plenty of Maine turkeys. They
could be seen all the summer and
fall in almost any rural dOOryard.

the native turkeys can be numbered
by tens where formerly they were
enumerated by thousands. In Cam

decrease in the native turkeys" For
many years the poultry raisers have
been endeavoring to ascertain the rea-

there is no difficulty in Matching
turkey eggs under any old hen and in

possible to bring the birds along and
fatten them at maturity. 81. my

330 yards. Handy set the new mark at 4:2S, the previous record being held by c. NJ. Daniels, of the New York Ath. letic club, at 4:2y After the race Alex Meffert, director of the Missouri Ath. letic club, on behalf of Schwarz, chal lenged Handy, through his manager Frank Sullivan, to q return match in the Missouri clubs tank. The most important feature of the contest was the competition between two entirely different strokes as swum by Handy and SchWarz. Schwarz swims the dou. ble overland, otherwise called the four-arm stroke. He takes four strokes two with each artn-to every kick he makes. Handy is an exponent of the new crawl stroke. Schwarz is big and powerful and depends largely upon his heavy legs for motive power. Handy, on the other hand, relies solely upon his arms, allowing his legs to trail mo- tiohless behind him, that all his DlooI may go to his upper limbs. At present he is the only man in the world who swims in this manner to any extent. So revolutionary and tiring is this new stroke that outside of Goodwin, of New York, no man has been able to hold it for over 100 yards, and he can. not keep it up beyond the furlong dis. tance, though even such performance has been fflarveied at by the east. Ons man, an Australian, once covered a quarter of mile using the stroke, but was unable to introduce the element of speed in connection. Central's wa ter devil" as he is called, has not only swum the punishing method for mile, but has gone so far as to use it in com petition for the championship at that distance at New York this summer. The recent race with the St. Louis star was the first fair chance Handy had to show what he could do with the new method of propulsion, as his for mer performances with it have been over strange courses. under which conditions no swimmer is expected tc do his best.

 Walter Camp Is iii New York to un- tangle the muddle that involves the football authorities of Yale and Prfncet0n over the selection of off, cisfis for the game. Six months ago the representatives of the two eley- ens exchanged their mutual choices for these officials but to-day they are at .loggerheads.
 It is understood that one official was picked at the first interchange of nominees, but that leach side made objection of a strenuous nature to the other men named as possible arbiters. McClung and Dashiell are both liked at Yale and have been officials in many contests between the rival uni versailles. It is understood that Prince ton objects to both.

HORSE stiOw RENOVATION,
women to Jumb Their own Hunters
 For she First Time.

This year the nationnI horse show, which recently opened in New York, promises to be greater thah ever. One of the innovations Is the raising of the ban against women jumping their own horses in the hunting and jumping classes, says the New York Post. For a number os years it was felt that the risks were too great under the artiil- cial lights. fianked by the crowds. etc. but so greatly has the type of animal shown improved in manner and SC strong was the pressure from numer- ous women that it was decided to ad- init those who wished to take the plunge. Consequently any woman wishing to jump her own horse can do so.
 Numbers of tho sex, especially in the south, have signiied their intention to take advantage of the change. and ii simply rerlains to be seen whether wo man will live up to her reputation fin the past of not wanting anything with in reach. but always desirous of what Is just beyond reach. In other words 1t will be interesting to note how many and who take advantage of the change That there are quite q number who are capable of doing themselves justice is known, many of them riding infinitely better than the men. If the eompeti- ton is won by a woman she will be presented with a cup, So there is no lack of indueemefit.
 It cannot be too frequently stated that. thanks in a great measure to tho great horse show influence. the United States is now recognized as the great horse nursery of the world. We hart brought out the cream Of the high class harness horses of tue world. and tlils fact is we'll known. as shown by tht constant purchase by Europeans of splendid specimens. We have supplied the horses for the cavalry of two greai recent wars, and should there be an other there Is no country but the Unit ed States on which to call for suitable horsehesh in any quantity To the illu- imitation of this fact the great horse show is still doing its part. Attention iS attracted to it not only in the United States. but ali oyer the world.

SCHwARZ.

30 minutes, all the swimmers began using the side stroke, and it was not long before the novices were contest. ing in this manner After I intro. duced the side stroke and established the record for a mile,g said Meffert, ''sll the swimmers took 1t up, and for eight or ten years 1t was the leading style of swimming in this country. The others had always been using the breast stroke and uRderarm side stroke, but most of the swimmer found the side stroke easier and soon adopted it. About ten years ago W. c. Johnson, of the New York Athletic club, won the lO0-yard championship with the trudge0n stroke. which Is now so popular with the swimmers. After he introduced this new stroke the side
 motion saw it's decline and the shorter distance swimmers began learning the trudge. IL went well at first for the short distances. but many pronounced it too iiring for miIe. Several swim. mers finally mastered it for the biz distances and about five years ago be. gan swimming q mile. After the trudgs
 had been mastered for a mile most swimmers thought t was the greatest stroke ever introduced. and four-ffths of all swimmers vere soon. using it.
 The trudEe did not prove the last of the stroke, however. but the crawl was introduced. Many crack short distance swimmers are now using this stroke. but very few have mastered 1t for the mile At first it vas very tiring for s9 yards, but finally worked up to 1Ga. As vas the case ufth the trudEeon, t
 Is very likely that the crawl will be used in mile championships soon. ID the % ysars the mile record has been greatly reduced. but I believe that the side stroke uill become the popular stroke In the course of a few years. The present record for a mile fs about z6.41. recently made by Daniels in the New York championship meet Pre-
