DAIRY NOTES.

Careful feeding Of the bull Ia neces,
sary.
The breed does not always indicate
good mixers.
The sire you use will determine
which kind you will get.
The sire wisely selected should i'm
prove on the present herd.
Whitewash is a good disinfectant-
1t should be used literally in the COW
stable.
There are poor COWS in all breeds
and the selection should be made on
the merits of the individual COW.
Should you desire to build up a
good reputation for table milk in your
town. it might be well to have two
breeds.
To be prepared to properly select
a bull suitable for your herd, you
should know your own herd thor
oughly.
Absolute sanitation and cleanliness
are necessary from the time the COW
leaves the pasture till the butter is
consumed.
The presence of bacteria producing
a bitter flavor is the cause OF the but
ter becoming strong In three or four
days after churning.
Next to getting rid of the poor
COW. the greatest need in dairying to-
day is better methods of feeding and
caring for the dairy herd.
The udder and teats of the COW
should be washed and dried before
milking, and the milking should be
| done with clean dry hands.
Corn silage and alfalfa make an ex.
cellent ration for dairy cows and good
yields of milk have been reported
where nothing else was fed
The average Holstein COW will prob
ably produce more milk than other
breeds. but with a lower fat content
than the Jersey or Guernsey.
A heavy piece OF canvass well
moistened and placed over cream cans
while going to creamery win aid
greatly In keeping cream cool in sum-
meg.

when the grass is short and flies are
bad. We are finding out that by
having summer silo we can provide
pasture out of the silo until the rains
come in the fall.
Some of the readers may shake
their heads at this, but we are telling
them agricultural gospel truth. They
may say: While we often have these
dry periods in July and August, we do
not always have them. Some years
we have excellent pastures. True, but

a year of abundance to year of want

Gilded Milk.

L. Horton, one of the biggest retail
crs of milk In New York state. is
charging twenty cents a quart for
some of the milk he sells. The milk
is produced by the owner of farm
at Newburgh. N. Y. and cleanliness
is insisted on to an extent almost un-
believable. The cows are washed and
wiped with spotless linen. and when
the milk is obtained it is handled as
though 1t were champagne. The milk
is sold to the "gilded rich In New
York city.

Old Cream is Bad.

Deliver the sweet cream as often as
possible. at least three times a week
in the summer and twice per week
during the winter. Wrap heavy
blanket around the can to keep the
cream from freezing on the road to
the creamery or cream station. During
warm weather soak this blanket In
cold water to keep the cream cold.

Third League Must Produce

If one D. A. Fletcher should happen
to show up somewhere today with
5000, 900 in his pocket, two major base
ball leagues will be thrown into q
state of chaos and the almost forgotten
third league will rule supreme in the
world of baseball fans This Fletcher

National and American leagues expires
at midnight tonight If he hands each
one of them $4,000 before that time,
the two bigger leagues will be wrecked.
No one seems to know of the where
abouts of the man Fletcher. Just the
same he holds about ninety baseball
stars in his power until this day is
ended. And if he should show up with
the money the big leagues will be given
a blow such as they have never known
before. The expansion of the American
| league, which brought on the war of
1900, was nothing to what this would
! be- There are lot of magnates who
| will not breathe easily until after II
| o'clock tonight If Fletcher doesn't
produce the money today he'll sink out
| of sight forever and his little flash in
baseball circles will be ended and soon
forgotten
| There is general feeling that
Fletcher hasn't the money and this day
! will pass just as others have. Then
there'u be lot of baseball stars eager
| to sign their contracts with the regular
| clubs that hold them in reserve. Among
| those is Johnny Evers, the Cubs star
| second baseman. Johnny hasn't signed

today. he'll not sign with the National
league champions. There are Dot
more of the Cubs still under Fletcher's
II power, too.
n Fletcher had one of the Sweirdes'
schemes In baseball history. He pro
posed to buy the stars of the two bis
II leagues and declared he had ninety OF
them under option until Feb. 10. Eacl
was to get $4,000 bonus signing
contract and was to get a salary equa
to his big league pay. Then the thirt
league would be launched. The prob

third league would be at probable
expense of 100000 more for plants

CHICAGO FANS MAY SEE PACKEY
AND WOLGAST IN FIGHT FEB, q

Packey Mcfarland and Ad Wolgast
probably will meet Feb. % at Milwau-
their match scheduled for the same date
before Jack O'Brien's Philadelphia club.
Johnny Mcfarland received a telegram
from Packey yesterday saying that he
and the champion were considering
offers from both Ne wYork and Milwau-
kee AS the Wisconsin city has not had
a big fight for years. it is probable that
the lightweights will decide to take
their bout there instead OF New York
Chicago would send a large crowd to
Milwaukee to see Ad and Packey ex-
change wa1lops and the receipts of q
contest there, no doubt, would be fully
as large as in New York or Philadel-
phia- Local promoters advanced the
opinion last night that the bout would
draw fully as well as the Papke-Ketch-
ell affair did in the city of beer and the
middleweights fought before a house
that passed the $4,000 mark

caused considerable comment among
Chicago fans. philadelphia Jack
The Lake County times. [volume] (Hammond, Ind.) 1906-1933, 1911-02-10

claimed he cancelled the match owing
to Wolgast's poor showing against
Brown. The real reason however, is
that O'Brien quit big loser on the
bout between Brown and the champion,
and it was not his own money that
went to pay the freight. O'Brien's
hacker refused to take a chance of los
ing again when it was demonstrated
that Philadelphia fans would not pay
$40 per seat to see the lightweight
champion in action
The outpointing of Wolgast did not
create any great surprise. Ad had been
out OF the ring for months and went
into the bout with the feeling that his
injured arm might be broken again.
Naturally he favored the mauler he had
fractured twice, and a result did
not put up his best fight. In addition,
