SIR GENIELLE GAZE UGLY
Udnted to Knock Ont Reporters
Brains an Lucania Steerage.

A who said he Sir Genielle C. B. Cave
the baronet COW puncher who went abroad recent
ly TO take over the estates that left TO him
in England. arrived here yesterday in the steerage
of the Cunard liner Lucania.
There two Cave -Brown-Caves one plain
everyday British subject, with trappings on his
name. and another, who, to use the vernacular Of
his adopted home, the West, is the real goods"
He who said he the real goods acted
strangely yesterday when a ship news reporter
wandered into the Lucanias steerage to talk to
him The reporter, who is known quiet and
exceedingly civil hammered man, was told by this
Cave-Brown-Cave that he would like TO knock
out his brains and use them in decorating the
steerage dining saloon Of the Lucana
The Cave -Brown-Cave of the Lucania's steerage
affected displeasure that his identity should have
been found out. He disIiked publicity, and
reason had travelled in the steerage- second
reason he gave for booking third class was de-
sire TO buy drinks for the thirsty lot in the
steerage He VOLUNTEERED the information that there
was more sincerity among the poorer class than
there in the first cabin. and this served as a
third reason.
After delivering himself of these statements the
Englshman produced a card which bore in add-
ton a crest, the Sir GenielIe c. B. Cave.
Stretton Hall. Lecestershre" His face was
flushed and. after taking the reporters measure. he
said, Don't you think Il is time to buy drink
The reporter. who does not drink. callel a
steward and ordered drink for the who said
he was Cave-Brown-Cave. After draining a brandy
and soda the English-nan upbraided the reporter
for having more money with which to tip the
steward Thereupon he drew out handful of
gold and silver and gave silver coins the
steward.
You don't look IL you had any brains"
blurted the alleged phlanthropist of the steerage
TO the reporter. IF il not for the trouble /
would like to knock out your brains and decorate
this here dining with them. Id really like to
do IT and pay for the damage afterward. Out West
we knock out a mans brains if he orders drinks
with as little money you have with you
The cowboy said he had spent sixty bob" a
day keeping the steerage supplied with drinks. He
exhibited gold bracelet his left wrist, but he
declined 10 say why he It. He said ne had

and that it the only letter he brought with
him from home. Mr. BulIen said last night that
he did not know Mr.. Cave-Brown-Cave-
II was said yesterday the pier that Sir Ge-
nielIe c. B. Cave has announced on his arrival in
England that he would rather travel train
with cowpunchers than ride in Pullman. The real

This latter danger will be obviated when pro-
posed improvements, involving cutting a
tion OF tie causeway at the northern end Of the
Whitney Basin and erecting a bascule coun-
terbalanced bridge the opening. and the
construction of a causeway across the present
channel just north Of the present Cob Dock
ferry contemplated. This with cutting off
a corner of the Cob Dock facing the drydocks
will give an entrance TO ships which will in
volve only turn to reach the new dock, and
only a slight change of course to head straight
for the old ones. besides giving a lot of berth
room alongside the Whitney Basin walls, where
the collier, the Vestal. is now tied up.

on paper, cannot be completed in time to be of

RECORDS IN
THE DAIRY.

The effort to interest dairymen in
the returns from their individual COWS
continues. and many farmers seem to
be awakening to the fact that the i'm
provement OF the whole herd demands
the study of the unit-that is. a close
acquaintance with the expenditure
upon the individual cow and the re,
turns therefrom.
This can be determined in no other
way than by keeping an exact record
of the daily milk yield. A record of
the daily food consumption would also
be of great use if it could be kept.
Many farmers who have been keep
ing such records for some time report
very strongly in favor of this kind OF
work.
AS soon as the farmer sets to work
to know what his COWS are doing by
keeping II record he finds himself
much more closely in touch with his
business. He sees at once the effect
of better care and better feeding. He
notes the great difference in returns
between the best and the worst cows
in his herd and cannot help but deter
mine to get rid Of the poor ones and
replace them with good ones.
Even the poor COWS are improved.
because better feeding is almost Ger.
tain to he tried. and quite certainly
poor feeding is responsible for many
of our Improbable dairy cows and
even for many Improbable dairy
herds.
The profitable dairy COW must give
over 5000 pounds of milk each year,
To know the value of a COW her totai
annual yield Of milk must be known
The only way to know this is to keep
a record of her daily milk yield.
Such records are being kept by hun
dreds of successful dairymen today.
