1t was a tragic scene, high-set upon
a barnyard hill: the broad, bald field 50

In
Rules of
Football
Reid of Harvard an
nO0nces Some of the NeqU
Regulations Designed to
Satisfy Public Clamo,'
For Reform---Te EN- lard
Gains In Three Doqons.

Head Coach William I. Reid of Har-
football rules enacted by the intercol-
legiate committee. The committee has
shown unexpected intelligence in cop
ing with the difficulties arising in the
matter of so revising the regulations
as to satisfy the tremendous public
clamor for reform.
The new rules as promulgated by
Reid are in part as follows:
Rule IL A)-The length of game shall be
sixty minutes. divided into two halves of
thirty minutes each, exclusive of time
taken out.
Special penalty for calling time: Either
captain may ask that time be taken out
three times during each half without a
penalty. If thereafter, however, either
captain requires time to be called, his
side shall be penalized by the loss of two
yards for each time unless the player for
whom time is called be removed from the
game. The distance to be gained and the
number of downs in this case are to re-
main the same as before. The referee
may suspend play at any time at his own
discretion without penalty to either side.
Rule 26 (C)-The officials of the game
shall be a referee, two umpires and a
linesman. The distance of the white lines
shall be ten yards for measuring the ten
yards to be gained in three downs.
Rule II (Note Under c)-Holding or I'M
lawful obstruction by the side in possess
sion of the ball includes graphing an OPP
poneht with the arms; placing the hands
upon an opponent to push him away from
the play; encircling with the arms in any
degree any part of the opponent; any use
of arms to lift opponent in blocking.
The only allowable use of the arms in
blocking or obstructing an opponent is
with the arms close to the body.
Rule Is (b)-At least six men of the side
holding the ball must be on the line of
scrimmage. If not more than six men are
on the line of scrimmage. one man of
those not on the line of scrimmage must
be outside the position occupied by the
ma on the end of the line. The line of
scrimmage for each side is an imaginary
line parallel to the goal line and passing
through that point of the ball nearest
that sides own goal lire. A player shall
be considered on the line II he has his

Carlyle's logged Scotch unsympa-
thetic persistency In measuring every
thing by his own ideas was illustra ted
by a story which Huxley told of their
mutual rela lions. Carlyle and he were
for long good friends. but had a seri-
Gus difference on the evolution Ques-
ton In the early stages Of the contro-
versy. Their personal intercourse
ceased in consequence. After an In
terval of many years Huxley happened
to see the Scotchman crossing the
street In London and, thinking that by
cones might be bygones. went up to
him and spoke to him. Carlyle did not
at first recognize him. but when he
had made out who it was he at once
said with his Scotch twang as though
he were continuing the last conversa-
ton of years ago: You're Huxley, are
you? You're the man that's trying to
persuade us all that we're the children
OF apes. while l am saying that the
great thing we've really got to do Is to
make ourselves as much unlike apes
as possible" Huxley, who had hoped
that the weather or politics might have
been admitted for the sake of peace.
soon found that the best thing he could
do was to retreat and return to their
tacit agreement to differ.

In the year 1899 we kept an exact
record Of the milk from our cows and
gave them a uniform meal ration Of
about eight pounds a day of mixed
oats, bran. shorts and little bit OF oil
meal. The oats, bran and shorts were
about equal parts and the oilmeal
about one-tenth of the others. With
this ration we were able to produce
from an average herd OF grade cows
about 600 pounds of milk per cow.
Next year we changed this and watch
ed every COW and studied her likes and
dislikes, and the second year we were
able to bring up the average OF that
herd by LOO and some odd pounds
just by studying the likes and dislikes.
To feed each of these cows during 1899
cost us $50, and during 1900 ii cost us
only S33-that is, we saved 50 by cater
ing to the tastes of the individual
cows, by watching very carefully the
possibility of each cow and by getting
the very best out OF each COW that
there was In her. and 1t Is impossible
to do this without keeping a record Of
the individual animals.-D. Derbyshire,

When Muzzaffar-ed Din, shah Of Per
STA, paid his first visit to England he
was the guest Of King Edward VII.
then prince Of Wales. On the evening
Of his arrival banquet was held at the
palace, and on the menu was aspara-
gus. AS it happened, the shah had
never heard of, much less tasted, as
paragus till that evening. When the
dish was brought on he helped himself
to half Of II, picked each stalk up In
his fingers, nibbled glngerly at the
head and then threw the stalk on the
carpet. To have let ii remain on his
plate would have been breach Of Per-
sian etiquette. All eyes turned to the
Prince OF Wales. What was he going
to do? The prince, tactful as ever,
glanced at those about him, then at his
plate; then he picked up stalk after
stalk, ate what he wanted and threw
the balance on the carpet behind his
chair. A moment later thirty people in
that room were eating asparagus in
Persian fashion, and the attendants,
who are trained to look more serious
than ever on such occasions, never
moved a muscle.-Black and White.

No one has yet devised a system Of
or cream. Since the introduction OF the
hand separator large amount OF poor
cream has been offered. This Is not the
fault OF the hand separator. The trOu-
BILE lies with the man who takes care
OF the milk and separator.
Costrslling Moisture.
In short time creamery operator
can easily learn to control the moisture
content OF butter by hoviny the tenn
perature of the wash water or, rather.
the degree OF softness OF the butter
Just right 1t Is advisable to churn at
medium low temperature, otherwise
too much fat Is left In the buttermilk,
but the temperature of the wash water
can then be raised a trifie and any rea-
sonable percentage of moisture can be
Incorporated.
Butter Fresh From the Churn.
Butter is never so good as when
freshly made The aroma quickly
passes off when held. OF course good
butter that has been well worked to
remove the surplus moisture will keep
fairly we'll in cold storage, but it never
tastes the same as butter fresh from
the churn, remarks an exchange.
To Avoid Leaky Butter.
In order to avoid leaky butter the
moisture should be Incorporated during
the churning and washing process. The
butter should be sailed and worked in
the absence OF water in the churn, and
the drain hole should be left open dur
ing the working period.
Refrigerator Boxes.
In the summer months it is a hard
matter to transport butter from the
dairy to the market and keep the prints
In shape unless the dairyman has ice
for this purpose. Light refrigerator
boxes are manufactured which can be
used to great advantage, as their use
will keep the butter hard and firm and
enable the maker to deliver II In that
condition TO his customers In the hot
test weather. No one likes to buy a
parcel of butter that is so soft it can
hardly be handled. and the good dairy
man VIII not place Outter IN the mar
ket in that condition.
Low Speed Loses Butter Fat.
At the Kansas experiment station a
test was made of running milk through
The separator at about threefourths OF
the listed speed 1t appeared from
he result of this test that the amount
Of butter fat left in the skim milk is
materially increased by lowering the
speed of the separator. There is con
siderably more loss than where separa-
iors are run mt their listed speed.
Overchurning Affects Color.
If churned TO an excess in the wash
water, butter VIII lost its color. 1t
becomes very pale and dead appearing
in a short time If attempts are made to
overchurn excessively.
