 Some of the big pugIlIsdc promoters have been clamorlng for matches be- tween Tommy Burns and Sam Lang ford or Al Kaufman, but the best bout of all seems to have been passed up entirely. Burns and Stanley Ketchel would make an ideal match, and the wonder is that some of the promoters have not gone after that instead of trying to get others not half as good. It is rumored that Burns and Hugh Mcintosh, the Australian promoter, have split because they could not agree on match with Langford, in which event the proposed contest will be called oF. It was supposed to have been arranged for London. Burns Is back in Sydney, having returned from bis tour of New Zealand. Tommy will shortly sail for America.

COLLEGE AQUATIC SEASON.
Swimmers Already Taking to Water
 For Coming Competitions.

Swimmers Already Taking to Water
 For Corning Competitions.
 With the close of the outdoor season college athletes are turning their at tention to indoor sports for the winter months. One of the leading sports is swimming, which has sprung into pop ulRrity during the past few years. A few years ago this branch of athletics did not appeal at all to the average collegian, but things have changed.
 Now that most of the large universi- ties have installed pools, where swim ming races, water polo and other branches Of aquatics may be partici- pated In, it appears that the sport has come to stay. Furthermore, swimming has been making such rapid strides lately as an intercollegiate sport that 1t is probable that In time 1t will be- come one of the most popular events of the indoor college athletic season.
 At Yale the sport has taken a strong hold on the students, and with the opening of the new Carnegie swim ming pool some fine competition ls promised for the approaching winter months.
 The pool itself is seventy-hve feet long by thirty feet wide and varies from a depth Of six feet at the shallow end to ten feet six Inches at the deep end. The capacity Is about 100000 gal Ions of water. The supply of water comes from driven wells ln the back ward

 There isn't much doubt that Perry Smith is going to play fullback for Harvard. He hits the line tremendous Iy hard and cleverly keeps his feet
 It is about time for some one to in- vent a padded undershlrt for football players. The present methods of pad ding, either by use of strings or having the pads attached to the jerseys, are far from satisfactory.
 Walter Camp says that the intelli- gent work of officials, their feeling of responsibility for the welfare of foot ball and their inslstence on fair play have done more to upllft football in the last two seasons than all the changes ln the rules twice over.
 Richardson. who has played fullback for parts of three seasons at Annap- oils. has been shifted to tackle Dal- ton, the Navy's great kicker, should be a better man In carrying the ball this year, and bis experience in 1908 should make 1t possible for him to do steadier bunting in the important games.

THE FARM SEPARATOR.
Really the Only Economical Way Of
Handling Cream.

The plan of having small separators
on the farm and sending only the
cream to the factory is now quite COM
mon and on the increase. The skim
milk is thus made available at once for
feeding, and 1t Is warm, sweet and not
adulterated with factory washings
The cream only needs to be cared for
and delivered to the factory, making
quite saving in labor of Transports
ton. The cream gathering plan will
do away with the return to the farm
of the contents of filthy skim milk
tank that contaminates milk cans and
endangers the lives of calves and pigs.
The chance Of young stock taking a
disease that may be on distant farm,
the germs of which may be delivered
to the creamery and carried away in
the skim milk to other farms, is also
avoided.
Any system which does away with
the seemingly useless labor of handling
eight or ten pounds for the delivery of
one will be most welcome, says the
Wisconsin Agriculturist. In the sea-
son of bad roads it is difficult to carry
large loads of cans, and sometimes 1t
is impossible to transport milk to the
creamery when cream alone might be
carried. Besides the advantage of
having to haul only small amount in
stead of large amount. it is an adj
vantage TO have cream removed on the
farm, so that the skim milk may be
fed when fresh. The gathered cream
system with deep set milk gives these
results only partially.

sTopPAeE AT POINT OF rgAT.
or. David Roberts Cautions Owners Of
Cows That Have Such Trouble.

A very common trouble in the ordi-
nary dairy is to find an animal with
the point of the teat closed, either due
to bruise of the teat itself or to in
lection in the milk duct which causes
a little scab to form over the point OF
the teat, and unless this is properly
handled with care and cleanliness, the
infection is apt to cause loss of the
entire quarter.
The proper manner in which to han
die and treat such cases is to thor.
opghly wash the teat in an antiseptic
solution, then dip a teat plug into q
healing ointment and insert it into the
point of the teat, allowing same tc
remain from one milking to another
In this manner closure of the point OF
the teats can be overcome in a very
simple and satisfactory way.
Never use milking tube if 1t car
be possibly avoided. as there is much
danger of injecting the entire quarter
by the use of the tube.
