ENGLISH
CRICKET

England won the test cricket match
with the South Africans at Leeds. Eng
land. on July 81 by 5s runs. II had been
expected that a draw was the best that
could be done. but In their second innings
the colonials went to pieces and the home
team won. The score was the smallest
seen in years in such a match. but II was
bowlers wicket all the time. Blythe
bowled unchanged during the entire
match and did his best work In the sec
ong innings. Had any of the South Afri-
cans bowlers been able to bowl consist
emily as good a length as Blythe bowled
England might easily have lost the
match. The English batsmen made their
runs from loose balls bowled from both
ends by the South African bowlers. but
II was never very safe to hit Blythe's
bowling. and a certain number OF runs
made by the South African batsmen OFF
II came from mss-hits Blythe took 10
wickets for 90 runs, but neither Arnald
nor Hirst ever troubled the batsmen seri-
ously. The South African batting. like
the English batting, was very disap-
pointing, and the collapse Of the defeated
side just when an effort was required
of them was not In accordance with their
own precedents. 1t was a disappointed
test match, both for the winners and
losers, and II will be remembered chiefly
on account OF Blythe's bowling and Mr..
Frys batting.

One Source Of News.

For many years certain New York
paper received society and club gossip
from a man whose identity was con-
cealed by clever ruse. Even his
checks were made out to his wife in
her maiden name. He furnished in
formation about the doings and wfan-
giles in various clubs-little stories in
volving people whose names are
known by reputation to practically all
readers of newspaper columns. He is
said thus to have averaged an igcollc
of about SO week-not much. but
enough to buy hats, gloves and canes.
He was a most immaculate ana ap-
parently prosperous person. 1t is
needless to say that he has never. been
suspected Of this small traffic. 4
wealthy relative died and left him in-
dependent. When some suc., man
furnishes the clew to Il tleieetable

ness that will keep him in small lux

Queer Positions Of Hearts.

There Is one curious fact which not
everybody notices about the common.
finger-long. green caterpillars OF cur
larger moths. Their hearts. instead or
being in front, are at the back of the
body and extend along the entire
length of the animal. One can see the
heart distinctly through the thin skin
and can watch its slow beat, which
starts at the tail and moves forward to
the head. Hearts Of this sort reaching
from head to tail are not at all uncom-
mon in the simpler creatures. The
earthworm has one, and so have most
worms. caterpillars and other crawling
things. Hearts in the middle OF the
back also are quite as frequent as
those in what seems to us to he the
natural place. Many animals, the lob
ster for example, and the crayfish and
the crab, which have short hearts like
those Of the beasts and birds. never
theless have them placed just Under
the shell in what, in ourselves, would
be the small Of the back.-St. Nicholas.

The Overfat Milk Cow.

Milk cows vary much in ability to
produce profits. Few, however, are
more Objectionable than those that
have distinct tendency to fatten
The inexperienced may consider this
rank nonsense. They often think that
cow in plump condition is a typical
animal and especially desirable be-
cause she looks nice Practical dairy
men know better, says a writer in
Kimball's Dairy Farmer. A COW
should always be in good yielding con-
dition, but there Is difference be-
tween this and being fat. Whenever
a good Judge sees a milking COW that
Is very fat he shakes his head and
says she puts her food on her back
and not in the pail. A fat cow is sell
dom a tiptop mixer. She is especially
susceptible to milk fever ut ealving
time and causes her owner much anx-
iety. 1t is not altogether question
of feeding. The constitutional ability
enters the problem. Cutting down feed
to reduce fat often affects the milk
flow more than the propensity to lay
on flesh. Altogether these cows are
an Improbable kind and should not he
bred. Heifers with a tendency to fat
ten should be finished for beef. Some
may think it an advantage to have d
COW in good condition always, as II
will be an easy matter to convert hel
into beef when that is desired. but tho
prime duty of the milker Is to yield
well, and the condition she is in SHOULD
be Of secondary consideration. 1t Ger
tainly will not pay to keep a pool
mixer year after year simply because
she will fatten easily in the end. Hel
failure in milk will be "a loss that ca,
never be made up by the extra weigh
on the scale or the ease in fattening.

Farmers Of the South.

We want greatly to see this fertilizer
question better understood by the
farmers of the south and the substitu-
ton Of tillage, live stock and legumi-
nous crops for the immense sums vast
ed every year OH commercial fertili-
zers. Not until this is done will pros
perity such as ought to prevail here be
the rule. So long as every crop grown
goes to market with fertilizer bill
tagged on to it the profit which the
farmer ought to receive on his labor
will be heavily discounted. When he
feeds the crops he grows to stock and
makes his corn net him - cents to 81
per bushel and, in addition, has the
manure wherewith to grow another
crop left OH the farm free OF cost, then
he will begin to come into his own. He
can do this and until he does will not
be doing justice to himself or those
dependent on him.-Southern Planter.
