CHICAGO MAN WON
MISSOURI MARATHON
Varied Assortment of Athletes
Participated in the Long
Run at St. Louis.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The journal.
ST. Louis, Mo-, May 5.-Chicago men
led in the second annual Marathon race
of the Missouri Athletic club today,
taking the first three places. 8. Il.
Hatch was first, George Thibeau, Sec
ond, and Louis Marks, third. The time
for the race, which was run, over a
3:05. Hatch's time was 2:46:OQ 80:
Thibeau IS time was 2:42:22, and Marks
3:14:39 3-5. Irving Elliott of Hamil'
ton. Ont, starter No. l, led for seven
teen miles and then slipped on stone,
spraining his ankle and incapacitating
him. At the time he led by three
miles.
The weather was far from the sort
one would wish for a long-distance race.
When the men lined up at Normandy
Grove for the start the sun was still
obscured by the clouds, which had been
shedding light showers thruout the
morning. The light rain had effectually
settled the dust without making the
course muddy, and the footing promised
| to be ideal thruout the entire course.
Of the twenty-one men scheduled to
start in the overnight entries, eight
were missing, leaving fourteen to go,
as follows: Irving Elliott, Toronto,
Canada; Louis Marks, Chicago, ILL.,; A.
J. Duport, o. A. A, St. Louis; A. L.
Corey, Chicago; Don Weir, NJ 4; A. C.,
st. Louis; M. J. Carroll, Chicago;
George Zannatta, Chicago; P: s. ,Tr9es-
dale, Columbus, Ohio; S. R. Hatch, Chi
cago; ,Lambros D. Lambrakis, Keokuk,
Iowa; Walter Ziegler, st. Louis; c. S.
Brown, St. Louis; Theodore Karo-
houlas, st. Louis; George Thibeau, Chi
cago.
!. St. Louis had five men in the event,
but the Chicago athletics who have
been training hard over the roads lead,
ing north out of Chicago for several
weeks proved superior in every way.
The long hill at Ferguson proved the
undoing Of Elliott, who dropped out OF
the race at Normandy Grove on the re-
turn trip, after running eighteen miles.
The same hill put a strong crimp into
Don Weir, who was very sick and
nauseated, but still he kept plugging.
On the contrary, Hatch, the Chlcagoan,
; seemed to be growing stronger, and IN
the run from Ferguson to Normandy
went from fifth place to first, and
started out on the home stretch,
straight down Natural Bridge road for
five-mile jaunt to the fair grounds
at q moderate jog.

he was only partly dressed.
Manager George Stallings and the
other members of the club are unable

him. Thomas shared the stateroom
with Jalaski, another player, but was
not missed until the boat reached New

A young minister settled over small

parishioners to procure piano for
their use. He did so, telling the dealer
to charge the bill for rental TO the Sec
rotary Of the parish. When the bill
amounted to SIS, the society being I'M
able to pay 1t as well as the salary Of

the minister for the money, telling him
that he assumed the responsibility
The latter replied that he never assum-

ing all he could do to pay his own bills
whereupon the dealer threatened to
sue him.

following short but definite letter
came:

DAIRY DATA NEEDED.
Records Locate Profit and Loss and
Help the Feeder.
BY CLARENCE B. LANE.

BY CLARENCE Il. LANE.
The condition of the farming indus
try as seen on the average farm points
to the need Of better business methods
and more definite knowledge of the
sources of profit and loss. In no de-
partment connected with the farm is
there more need for absolute data than
In the dairy.
The records of progressive and I'M
progressive dairymen indicate that
greater range of profit than that of
dairy farming Investigations Of cream
cry patrons illustrate this most strik-
ingly and show that one dairyman fire.
quently makes double the profits of his
neighbors.
Good judges believe that one-fourth
Of the cows of the entire country kept
for milk do not pay the cost of keeping
and nearly one-fourth more fail to
yield an annual profit.
Records of the performances of dairy
cows form the only accurate and safe
basis for judging their value. 1t is the
constant aim of progressive dairymen
to improve their herds. and such i'm
provement must depend largely upon
culling the herd and getting rid of the
Improbable animals. From the breed
ers' standpoint records are especially
valuable in assisting in finding GUS
toners for their stock. Many buyers
insist on seeing records of dairy per
Torrance before purchasing.
A record is also of great help to the
feeder. If he knows exactly what
cow is doing he can prepare the ration
accordingly and often feed more eco
nomically. Again, daily milk record
enables a dairyman to detect the APP
proach of sickness In cow and thus
to take steps to ward ii off.

Cooking the MILK.

The main thing is to cool the milk
quickly to temperature of 80 de-
grees or less, and it would pay the
dairyman to provide ice for this pur-
pose. In driving through the country
in the early morning you will observe
near the well at different farms a can
Of milk placed in a half barrel, where
there Is not room for more than cou-
pie of pals of water, which would not
be sufficient to properly cool the milk.
and unless this Is quickly done the
germs that may have got into 1t will
have chance to develop before 1t gets
cooled to that point where their growth

Not Enthusiastic About Locust.

Commenting upon reports received
by letter of tree agents working in
several localities selling black locust
trees at SO thousand, with the claim
that they will grow to post size in four
to six years, the Ohio experiment sta
ton says that reliable nurseries in
Ohio are cataloguing black locust trees
at Sc to so per thousand. Locust trees
will not ordinarily grow to post size
in less time than eight to twelve years
from planting. They will not sprout
from the roots so long as the trees are
uncut or uninjured and the roots un-
broken, but as soon as the trees are cut
or seriously injured or the roots broken
sprouts will come up from the roots.
Live stock, and especially sheep. II al
lowed to pasture where young locusts
are growing, are almost sure death to
them. 1t is not advisable to plant To-
Gust trees along the line Of fences ad-
jacent to tillable land. Where trees are
in sod the grass encourages mice,
which are very destructive to young
locust trees.

Are You In the Woodsf
No, you can't afford to run a dairy
without knowing where you're at, and
you are probably In the woods IL you
don't weigh the feed and milk occa-
sionally. DO 1t. It's interesting and
well worth while.-A. j. Mcclure.
Far sight Needed.
The dairy farmer must be a far
sighted man. The calves of today are
the mixers of tomorrow. If these
mixers are going to be up to par, spe-
cial attention must be given to their
breeding and care, remarks Kimball's
Dairy Farmer.
The Making of n High Scoring Herd.
Commenting at recent stock breed
ers' meeting on q certain Minnesota
herd, w. d. Hoard said: So far as we
can learn, this high scoring herd was
constructed and brought to its present
state Of good profit by the owner being
q good Judge Of cows In purchasing
and following that up by most ex-
cellent understanding of how to care
for and feed a cow after he got her.
OF course. added to this was the proc
ess Of elimination or wedding out Of
poor cows, which Is one Of the most
important of all processes connected
with the management Of dairy herd.
Scrubs.
There are a great many scrub COW
keepers. as there are scrub cows, and
both should be weeded out
The only man who can afford to
board scrub Is one who has nothing
to lose.
There are farmers today whose dairy
business is losing proposition because
they do not realize that some cows are
better than others.
