who ought to have been pretty tired by this
time. won in a sensational squirt from Cor
nell. and left Pennsylvania and Georgetown
far in the rear.
The Yale victory will do Cornell quite as
much good as 1t will Yale. The opinion has
been taking root too fast at Ithaca that
Cornell crews are unbeatable, so this upset
ought to do Courtney's men a world of
good.
Next to the surprise of Yale's fine work.
the experts were much disturbed by the
very poor work of the University of Penn
sylvania varsity eight. The QUakers were
matched against the New York Athletic
Club. the Bachelors Boat Club of Philadel-
phia. and the Nassau Boat Club of New
York. The Red and Blue oarsmen have
been at work since the middle Of January,
and have had twice much work on the
water as any of the other crews. Yet the
collegians had to take third place behind
the n. Y. A. c. and the Bachelors. What
makes the defeat of Penn all the more gall
ing is the fact that the Bachelor eight Is
composed almost entirely of former Penn
sylvania oarsmen, who are keeping up their
rowing solely for pleasure. The graduates
had their successors beaten off from the
start. Now the question is being asked:
Are PENIS crews deteriorating? At any
rate. the Quakers will have to develop
pretty fast to make good showing at
Poughkeepsie as they did year ago.
Next year rowing will be installed at
Princeton. and the Tigers will undoubtedly
be out with one or two crews. Their first
racing shell will probably be launched in
the Schuylkili. The American regatta. being
held on Saturday, will not interfere in any
way with the Tigers scholastic work, and
on this account an extra good entry Is ex-
pected from T1gertown. The branching out
of Annapolis will probably result in send
ing a crew up from the navy. Coach Rice
of Columbia was at the regatta and as the
new coach Is an advocate of lots of COM
petition, it is not unlikely that Columbia
will have an eight on hand next year.

RACE OF MOTOR CYCLES.
An Endurance Contest This Season
Seems Assured

NEW YORK, June 3.-That there will be
an endurance contest in conjunction with
the annual motor cycle meet this year
seems assured. So many changes have been
made in motor cycle construction and so
many new aspirants are in the field that a
contest is strongly indicated. Under the
rules, the course must not be less than
$50 miles, and whether Baltimore or Provi-
dence is chosen as the objective point the
run, taking New York as the starting point.
would be through an interesting country. A
wide detour would be required to cover
enough distance if the run goes to Provi-
dence The first annual endurance contest
was from New York to Cambridge, Md,
and as the route brought in a number OF
sand roads il was not a source of unalloyed
delight Last years run from Rochester
to New York was made in an all days run
and many motor cyclists gave up.

Sowing Clover and Timothy.

The following communication has
been received from South Dakota
subscriber, Mr.. X. Ulrikson:
81 am planning to seed down 100
acres Of clover and timothy this
spring, and | would like to know if
it would be better to SOW with a
drill than to put it in broadcast, and
how much seed should be used per
acre. 1t is my intention to put some
of it on fall plowing with barley and
some on corn stalk ground with
early oats"
A good deal depends on how one
is equipped in the way of machinery
for sowing the crop. If the oat and
barley crops are sown with drill
without grass seeder attachment
in front, it might be a good plan to
sow the grass seed after the seed
bed is prepared and before the
grain is drilled in. AS general
thing, the disks or spouts of the
drill throw enough soil to cover the
grass seed, and there is this ad-
vantage in that method that it puts
the clover and timothy plant in the
space between the rows of grain.
Ii the grain lis to be seeded broad
cast, then about the only thing one
can do is to SOW the timothy and
clover seed either at the same time
that the grain is seeded or after.
wards, but before it is narrowed in.
AS rule, the harrow, which is used
for covering the small grain, will
not cover up the timothy and clover
seeds too deeply. In our opinion
there are more mistakes made by
covering grass seeds too shallow
than are made BY covering too deep
ly.
AS to the quantity of seed, this de-
pends little on conditions. How
ever, good mixture is from eight
to ten pounds of clover and four or
five pounds of timothy seed per acre.
If both crops germinate we'll and
come through the first winter, clover
will largely predominant the first
year, the second year the crop will
be about half timothy and half
clover and after that timothy will
largely take possession of the land
If it is desired to obtain hay that is
uniformly mixed timothy and clover,
then it would be advisable to SOW
equal parts of the seed of EACH
Homestead.

Some Spring Thoughts

A great many people believe that
it Is most necessary to prepare for
winter, but when spring comes there
is no need for further preparation
or effort. The fowls are housed and
well fed in winter, but ass soon, as
the trees begin to bud all
seem to be so glad that the chickens
will be able to take care of them
selves as they please. They are
permitted to hunt such feed as they
may lind on the farm, so to the
house when they wish, and, in a
way, look out for themselves. This
is on par with the plan Of letting
childrengo to the cupboard whenever
they like and help themselves to
whatever may suit their taste wheth-
er it is best for them or not. If
there is anything in the pantry they
get meal and if not they do with
out. When night comes they drop
down anywhere they happen to be
without undressing or going to bed.
Letting fowls care for themselves
is very much like this.
1t is quite true that the hen that
will hustle for her food is the bet
ter one asa rule. To hustle and
get no food is poor encouragement
for a hen, and she will have to be
rewarded Or she will cease to hustle.
A very good way to take all the
hustle out Of a hen is to starve her.
There is certain amount of pre-
paration that should be made for
spring and early summer manage
ment of the poultry yard. Rains
will come, and if the roof of the
poultry house is not good the floor
will get wet, the interior will be-
come damp and that space invites
disease. Nest boxes will have to be
provided, and later millions of mites
will come unlimited unless arrange
ments are made to makeit 'hot for
them" One should never be de-
luded with the thought that cleanli-
ness will prevent a visitation Of
hordes of lice and mites. 1t is safe
to conclude that they are present
and one should be on the lookout
for them. When convinced there
are none will be time enough to let
up, and only for season, for thev
can come in an incredibly shor
time and come, too, in plentiful
numbers. Brood coops will be es,

There are a number OF ways to make

The ideal government is the one
which practically leaves the people
to govern themselves, or at least to
think they are the supreme power.
AT this stage Of history there ap-
pears to be only one government
which is purely ideal and near
enough to real for all practical pur-
poses. 1t is that of the seventy
seven inhabitants Of the Islands of
Tristan da Cunha, in the Atlantic
ocean, about 1900 miles from the
Cape Of Good Hope and about 1000
miles from Montevideo. Great
Britain, which will grab any sort OF
land, has offered to transfer these
islands to South Africa. The
British want to establish wireless
station and coal depot. The in
habitants of the islands, consisting
of seventeen families, reject the
offer and want to be left alone with
out any government whatever
