Rich Purses Offered at the
French Tracks An

British Can't Understand
Opposition to Turf in
United States.

LONDON, March 2L-British acing
men are watching with more than their
usual amount Of interest IN affairs for
eign TO tho progress of the fight against
track betting in the United States.
While betting on the track is so firm
ly established an Institution here that
It is hard 10 realize there can be such
serious opposition TO 1t as has sprung up
in the United States. The fact that a
number of the most prominent Of the
American racing men have already
taken steps to enter the racing game in
England and France should the anti
betting crusade be successful IN New
York, e1cpI aims the interest IN what may
be considered local legislation in New
York.
IL is understood that arrangements
have been made by James r. Keene,
Harry Payne Whitney. John Z. Mad
den, Clarence Mackay and others TO
maintain formidable racing strings in
England. These plans are, of course.
closely guarded, and according to rumor
are dependent upon the fate OF the anti
betting bill IA the New York Lcgisla-
ture.
The rich purses offered on the French
tracks are bound TO attract some Of the
big American racing men, and ". K.
Vanderbilt is likely TO train some Of his
fellow-countrymen as competitors for
the big French turf prizes.

Americans may be interested to know
that one of the successful young siTes
ia this country Is part American King
Courier was bred in America. In the
main female line he is JypicaIly Amer
lean, for his great grand-dame, Bona
venture, was a Granddaughter Of Lex
ingtOn. AS a three-year-old, King
Courier, then trained by Wishard, won
1--WE OF the six races in which he took
part, and proved himself a horse richly
endowed with stamina Toward the end
of that season he was sold 10 Mr..
Sievier for $500 guineas. and the follow
ing May he was bought by Lord Elles-
mere for $500 guineas. For his present
owner he won the Jackey Club Cup,
beating SantOl at level weights. Among
the prizes he captured was the DOnCas-
ter Cup. His credentials. therefore, are
excellent. His SIRE Kingston, was one
of the most famous horses that ever
trOu the turf in America When three
year-Old he won thirteen Of the eighteen
contests In which he took part. He
was then sold to the Dryers, who kept
INN IN training until he was ten years
Of age. he carried their colors In Ito
races, and won no fewer than eighty
three Of them.
Tommy Burns is being rugged about
a black eye which interfered with his
last training for his fight with Jim
Roche. Burns declined to make any eX-
PLANTATION as to how he acquired his
damaged optic, and various stories are
current about IL. one is that a local
tough attacked the champion uneXpect-
eddy and was jolly we'll whipped for
his pains. Another Is that Tommy was
the victim OF an attempted holdup.
It rs rumored that Burns has decided
not to go to France, but that he intends
to start for home early next month
and take on a fight with the negro.

The Challenge Cup presented during
last year by the Countess APPROVING to

trophy, was won by w. D. Roosevelt.
After the closest match see here he

contest. The cup was presented to the
winner by the countess.

It IS believed here that the feeling
against track betting IN America is due
to abuses peculiar to that country. II
the big English bookmakers own horses
and control jockeys the fact IS very sue
Cessfully concealed one is inclined TO
believe the game is played straighter
here than it is in America That there
is some fixing of jockeys and horses

SANDY soil.

Sandy soil is very easy to work, and
when the humus IS abundant the pro
ductiyeness Is not below that OF other
soils. Many sandy soils carry a good
percentage OF clay, though that does
not appear to the ordinary obsery-
er. 4 soil that has no clay is not soil
but sand. Such is not suitable for
agricultural operations till 1t has been
modified By the application Of clay.
There are many localities where a
slight increase of the clay content of
the sand soil would greatly increase
its capacity. The clay makes the
sandy soil retentiye of moisture and
also enables 1t to hold the soluble
plant food so necessary to the growth
Of plants.

COOP MANNERS AT HOME.
Formality Unnecessary, But Gentle
Courtesy Should Rule.

"Politeness in the home is like the
straw used In packing china; it saves
breakage and prevents crashes,
writes Lillian Bell
If everybody would take this to
heart there would be many happier
homes than there are now. It is an
absurd excuse to make that one must
be ones self before home folk.
One needs good manners Just
among those people more than among
outsiders. The man who treats his
wife as though she was a comfortable
piece OF furniture is not satisfactory
to any woman. It is not possible for
her to keep from drawing comparisons
with the way he treats other women
when they are at the house.
A woman who hasn't the first idea
of manners when her husband is
around, should not be astonished
when he prefers another woman who
is always well bred and gracious in
his presence.
Formalites are unnecessary and
foolish. Conventional politeness is
not wanted. It would stiffen the at
mosphere and take away from the
home likeness.
But there are all sorts Of gentle lit
tie courtesies that should be shown
by every one to everybody in the
home. and they certainly do prevent
a great deal of crash and breakage,

that gives an opportunity to retain

It is a curious comment on human
nature that such a foolish fad would

houses are no longer built with double

Value Of the Cow
The period Of lactation. Or the
length of time a COW will milk. is an
important point, and one that does not
seem thoroughly appreciated. The
"escutcheon,' or milk mirror. is a
fair guide 10 what may be expected
from COW on this score, but weekly
records of the milk are more reliable
and If these records are compared
with the escutcheon and general APP
pearance, much valuable information
will be learned.
The heaviest mixers are not always
the best COWS, as many an animal
giving a comparatively small guam
tity will continue to milk almost up
to her next calving, yielding in the
long run more milk, and being, there
fore, the more profitable COW for the
dairy.
As rule, the smaller the yield, the
richer is the quality Of the milk, and
similarly the smaller breeds OF cattle
generally give the best milk The
