Wrestling.

In the twelve years that wrestling
has forged to the front in America.
four champions have developed, and
all of them have been defeated. The
quartet comprises jenkins, Mcleod,
Beell and Gotch. Only two of them,
Gotch and jenkins, are really entitl-
ed to the crown, as Beel and Mcleod
scored victories which in the light Of
later bouts proved that the defeats
of Gotch and Jenkins were flukes.
Farmer" Burns, regarded as one Of
the cleverest mat men in America,
aspired to the championship, but gave
way when his young pupil. Gotch, ad-
vanced to the front. Dan Mcleod
tried repeatedly to wrench the title
from Jenkins, and finally caught big
Tom out OF form and was given the
decision In Worcester. Mcleod real
ly had no meritorious claim to con-
quest, as each man had a fall and
jenkins complained of ailment In his
leg and left the mat in a helpless
condition. However, Jenkins regain
ed his crown at Buffalo a few months
after, throwing the French Canadian
in two straight falls. Gotch then de-
feated jenkins after a seesaw series
Of bouts. Gotch's defeat by Beell at
New Orleans was a shock to wrest-
ling followers. hut the big Humboldt
lad quickly retrieved himself by floor
ing his lighter opponent in two
straight falls in Kansas City recently.
Frank will do well to keep his rivals
down in future. OF course, accidents
similar to the one Gotch Is said to
have received will lay the best of
them out, but wrestling students
know that Gotten at present has no
peer in America, and when he is beat
en- the affair Is bound to create sus-
picion. His defeat by Beell was IL
stantly followed by cries of Fake"

our fairest summer bowers,
We babe her drink their fragrance,
We heaped her lap with flow

She only said with eyes that yearned.
"Oh, If ye might have brought
The pale unscented blossoms by my

We babe her listen to the birds that
sang so madly sweet,
The lyric Of the laughing stream that
dimpled at her feet.
But Oh" she cried, Il weary for the

when keens the mournful western
wind among my native first"
We told her she had faithful friends

THE FARMER AND HIS HORSES. :

THE FARMER AND HIS HORSES.
We farmer boys were lately criti-
cised BY one of your contributors for
putting up our horses at night with
out cleaning their feet. 1t Is not our
ignorance that makes us do sych
things, but 1t Is simply that We are
too tired, and there is more work
that has to be done before E-e get
our supper and get to bed after a
days work of sixteen hours, months
at stretch in the summer season.
Here in the North, during the height
of the season, daylight is almost con-
tinuous, and We have to put in six
teen hours a day with a change to
eighteen hours at some especially
rushing times during haying and har-
vesting; so We do not care TO per-
form work that can be left undone
just for the fun of putting IL the
whole twenty-four hours.
AS to watering horses before or
after feeding, have cared for more
than two score horses in my twenty.
eight years en- the farm, and l have
always found that they prefer to
eat some hay, before drinking, except
when working hard, and then l al
ways allow them a good-sized drink
even when quite sweaty. ! have

NOTES OF THE FARM.

Never mix warm with cooled milk.
Buttermilk is better than sour
skim milk as starter" for cream.
Get the milk out OF the stable as
soon as possible, and rapidly cool 1t
to go degrees, or lower, and keep It
cool.
In cold weather It will usually be
best to warm the churn by washing
It with hot water before the cream is
poured In.
Healthy cows produce milk more
cheaply than cows that are not in
first-class health. 1t is economy TO
give them good care.
Keep the milk vessels clean. Re.
member that vessel may look clean
and yet contain millions OF bad
germs. Scald the vessels to kill the
germs.
Do not waste money by spending
unnecessary amounts for dairy build.
ings. but keep the COWS comfortable,
and during damp, cold weather
keep them dry.
An abundance of fresh air, of puce
water. and wholesome feed are the
health-makers for cows. Right feed
ing and care are worth many times
more than medicines In the dairy.

INDIVIDUALITY.

We speak Of cows as cows, or the
cow as one of the herd. We class
her as one of a multitude and lose
sight of her individuality. The COW
is not different from people. In fact,
every animal, aside from having a
species, has a personality.
Dairymen are beginning to recog-
nize this In COW feeding, says Kim.
balls Dairy Farmer. The ignorant
or careless man feeds all just alike.
The man with scales and Babcock
test soon recognizes the individuality
Of each COW as a producer. The
careful observer sees 1t as the habits
Of the cow.
There are COWS having the same
dam, and sire (fuIT sisters) that are
as different In habits, milk produc-
tion and physical characteristics az
Is often seen in family of children.
II this were not so the breeder
would have clear sailing. Pedigrees
tell what a COW has back OF her blood,
but they don't tell what peculiar In
dividual characteristics may crop out.
When read or hear of dairymen
who are going to have a herd of
350-pound cows and will have them
fresh at a certain season, or do some
other sure thing, can't help but
smile. for rye been there. I've
found that individual characteristics
crop out into the third and fourth
generation
Then, too, the COW gets moods Just
like folks. She sulks, she gets funny.
she acts mean, she plays tricks. she
acts the bully, she gets lazy, or, per.
chance. she can run like a deer at
the wrong time. One COW win run
from a dog another give him good
run out of the pasture. One likes
to stand on top of the manure pile;
another prefers a certain spot else
where. Some are quick to learn /:
Others are block+heads The same Is
true OF all animals. The man who
disregards individuality is up against
q stubborn thing.

exactly how much by weight should
