From the New York Herald.
This year celebrates the centenary of
coaching clubs for 1t was in 1907 that
amateur four-in-hand whips In England
formed the Bensington Driving club, bet
ter known as the "B. d. c." and the Black
and White club, the latter appellation
originating from the fact that the club
held two meets every year at the White
Hart inn, in Bensington, and two at the
Black Dog, In Bedford. The Four-Horse
club came into existence soon after 1907.
at the instance Of c. Buxton, originator
Of the bit which still bears his name. The
Buxton bit has survived and is still the
correct thing for all full dress occasions,
but the club died in 1920. Then came the
Richmond Driving club. founded about
this time by the Earl OF Chesterfield. The
Four-in-H Hand Driving club and the
Coaching club followed and still live.
Though the honk honk of the motor car
is now heard more often on English roads
than the old fashioned tune of the Tan
tivy Trot," the Coaching club had eight
cen drags in line at its meet this year. 1t
was noticeable however, that the major
ity Of the whips were well past middle age.
One Of the veterans was Major Jary, a
descendant Of the man who owned Jary's
Bellfounder, better known In this country
as Imported Bellfounder, sire of the dam
of Rysdyk's Hambletonian. American
coaching men who were present say that
the old fashioned English coach horse of
the hunter type was conspicuous by his
absence, all the teams being made up Of
high stepping nags of the hackney type
The prize for the best coach and four
went to Sir Lindsay Hogg, whose stylish
chestnut high steppers represented the
last word In modern park coaching.

woMAN's SKETCH OF QUEEN.
Alexandra Gave a Sitting to Mile
d'Epinay, a Young French Artist.

From the New York Herald.
Queen Alexandra. who delights In help
ing young artists, utilized some OF the free
dom from social engagements caused by
the slight cold from which she has suf-
fereG during the last week to give sit
ting to Mile. Marie d'Epinay, clever
French artist. whose exhibition at the
Fine Art society was honored by visit
from King Edward the other day.
Her majesty had promised 20 sit for
Mile. d'Epinay If possible, but there
seemed little chance OF a free morning and
the young artist was preparing to return
to Paris when a summons came from
Buckingham palace requesting her to go
there at once. The portrait, a head in
red chalk, was completed in three hours,
the queen sitting both before and after
lunch.
Mile. d'Epinay's sketch shows the face
of the royal sitter three-quarters to the
spectator. The head is framed in the large
Gainsborough hat with ostrich plumes
which proved so becoming to her majesty
when she wore 1t at Ascot instead Of her
usual small toqUe.
Both the queen and King Edward were
delighted with the portrait the king espe.
cially complimenting the young artist OF
her success in catching the expression ~

WINTER pAlRYlNo.

More people are turning to winter
dairying now because they have dis
covered that when their cows are prop
erly handled and fed there is more
money made during the winter months.
But thousands have failed at dairying
simply because they attempted to
handle their cows in winter the same
as they did in summer. Farmers gen.
orally consider winter care OF cows
q nuisance, and on many farms only
one or two cows are kept over winter,
Just for family use. 1t requires a
broader knowledge Of cows and feeds,
as well as better care Of cream. Dur
ing the summer, COWS get most or
their feed from pastures, but during
the winter season they must be fed
the grain and fodder crops grown dur
Ing the summer. To do this and turn
every pound of feed to good account,
is the proposition of the winter dairy
man. On the other hand winter pro-
ducts are always much higher than
summer goods, and the succession
dairyman understands how to market
his feed to the best advantage. A
good fat stock feeder tells me he rarely
realizes less than rs cents bushel
for his corn crop. l wonder how many
winter dairymen understand their
business well enough to market their
crops through their nilch cows at so
good advantage. The best success Of
winter work comes in giving the cows
Just the food that will enable them
to do their best. Straw is a mighty
good filler, but 1t will not produce
the kind Of milk that makes good but
ter. II cows are winter fed on silage
or fodder, clover or alfalfa, hay, meal,
bran and like foods, 1t is up to the
COW then to turn out the milk. The
dairyman must learn then to deal out
these foods so as to produce the larg-
est possible amount of butter fat.

The Value Of Play.

ISlCudTu Cole NEWTON IN tne Popular Sci
ence Monthly.
The great educational value Of play,
as such, has at last begun to be recog-
nized. A German commission some
few years ago visited the English pub
lie schools under instructions to study
the influence of the games and sports
carried on there upon the physical and
intellectual development OF the stu
dents. Their report was such that steps
were Immediately taken to introduce
athletic sports and games into the Ger
man schools. An annual OF four or
five hundred pages entirely devoted to
play is now published in that country,
where, in fact, most Of the pedagogic
movements of the past century have
originated, and after careful investiga-
tion, the playground movement was
systematically undertaken there; and
there is now in some German cities a
law requiring that each school shall
provide a minimum play space for each
pupil, which in Munich. for example,
must be at least twenty-five square feet
in area. In Berlin there is q forty-acre
playground intended solely for small
children. Play conferences are being
held annually in the larger German
cities and thousands OF teachers are
being taught to play games with the
children. esE

FARM FACTS.

If you have an apple crop coming on
or a field of potatoes to market later
on, better arrange for barrels or poxes,
and have them on hand, when the crop
is ready. Thousands of bushels Of these
products spoil every year, because no
provision is made to handle the stun.

not inclined to buy good bulls. The
creamery bought pure bred Guernsey
bull, OF approved breeding, and is
charging a fee of 81 for the service Of
the bull. The work Is to be followed
up year after year, long enough, at
least, to show patrons the value OF

USING the cREAM sEPARArnH

USING THE CREAM SEPARATOR
There is no question that the general
standard of farm made butter Is high.
er today than it has ever been before,
and, 1t Is now conceded that OF all the
improvements which have helped to
bring this about. the cream separator
has been, by far, the most Important.
True there is a large amount of nice
farm made butter that never seen q
separator, and there Is a tremendous
amount that never ought to be called
butter. The reason why the standard
has been raised by the separator is that
anyone who takes sufficient interest In
dairy work to buy a separator will
likely learn how to make good butter.
III one will do this the machine will
pay for itself every year. 1t is esti-
mated that one can get fifty pounds
more butter per year from each COW.
when the separator is used. One rea-
son why separator cream makes the
best butter is that the creaming is
done directly after milking, when the
milk Is In the best condition. When
buying cream separator there are
several things well worth observing.
Such as capacity for close slximming,.
ease of turning. and whether 1t is cas-
lily cleaned. One must learn at what
speed to run 1t to get the best results;
and, above all things, to learn to turn
1t steadily. The safest guide is to fol-i
low the directions which come with the
machine. The manufacturers have
worked out the best methods to securel
the best results. and of course 1t is to-
their interests to help buyers all they
can. Be very particular about thei
care Of the bowl. Here Is gathered all

The bowl must be kept clean. and ii,

chine should be carefully regulated, so
