Time was when Abe would put up any
old forfeit to make 122 ringside, or
even 100. Abe asked the New Orleans
promoters to change the terms of his
proposed match with Jack White, from
122 ringside to catch-weights. This
doesn't please White on his manager,
Fred Gilmore, and the match may fall

Rachael. 72 years old, were found dead
today in their rooms, their bodies ter

Aaron Futterman. superintendent of a

The nature of the mutilation led the
police to believe that 1t had begun

BANKS Want CHINA

French Financiers Suggest
Northern Monarchy and
Republic in the South

PARIS. Jan. THE suggestion dis
cussed here for several days that an
international commission of bankers
might arrange some concrete plan for
the settlement of the Chinese difficulty
includes the idea of the possible recog-
milton of two Chinas, one in the north,
the old monarchy, and the other in the
south, the new republic.
This idea finds its basis In the sup
position that the struggle In the north
and the south Is likely to continue In
definitely plunging the empire into
an interminable war, destructive alike
to the welfare of China and the inter-
ests of the foreign powers.
A distinguished French flnancier said:
Much has been said by the world
about the power of capital to do harm
or good. 1t seems al If there is an OPP
portunity for capital to offer itself to
the attainment of a great goal---the
salvation of great nation. However
the present deadlock in China may de-
velop, China must have capital, but be-
fore capital can be offered by the pow
ers China must accept stated form of

The attitude of France toward China
is that of absolute cooperation with
the other powers. The French govern
ment has no present intention of taking
separate action of any kind. but real
izes that an outbreak of anarchy and
an attack upon the foreigners or their

1t was reported that Senator La Fol4

HOW TO TELL A

Expert of Ontario AgricuItura1
College Puts Much Stress
on the Babcock
Tests.

Prof. Dean, in charge of the dairy
department at the Ontario Agricul-
tural college, says a good cow Is enc
which gives 600 gallons of milk year,
or $50 pounds of butter in the same
length of time. He values cow-testing
highly, as it is the only means of tell
ing whether or not a COW will pro-
duce this much during the year. He
writes:
How are you to know good COW?
You can tell by the notches in its
backbone. You can tell by the length
of her tail whether she will milk for
long time. The scales and Babcock
tests are the best tests. BY these you
weigh the> milk once month and
multiply the pounds of milk given by
the test. After dividing by 100 and

these are the three leading beef
breeds, there are others, such as Red
Poll and Devon. BY some writer's the
Red Poll and Devon are classed as
dual purpose; but for the present we
will consider them beef breeds.
OF the three breeds mentioned first,
we can scarcely say one is better than
the other, for they belong on the same
plane. 1t IS matter Of choice or
preference with each man for himself,
which he likes best, and thensthat be-
comes the best for him. Every one
of US will give our best attention and
efforts to the things we like best
Therefore the breed of cattle we like
best will give US best results and be-
comes best for us.
The two remaining breeds are good
and in some sections are very popular,
but for strictly beef purposes are
rather small and have tendency
toward the dairy formation.
When we go into the business of
producing beef we want the breed of
cattle that will produce that product
at the least cost and in the greatest
quantities Then it behooves us to
select one of the best breeds. I say
one of the best breeds, and mean
one Do not make the mistake that SO
many have done and think that you
can produce better steers by breeding
together two breeds than pure-bred
steers of either one. Just remember
whenever you breed together two dis
tinct breeds you are producing grades
of both breeds and going down hill
Again, when you breed together two
distinct breeds you are much more
apt to confine the poor qualities of
both breeds in the offspring. AS an
example, and one that is commonly
practiced, If you breed Holstein COW,
which produces q large quantity of
milk but poor In butter fat, to Jer-
sey bull. breed which produces a
small quantity of milk and rich in but
ter fat, you are very likely and most
apt to produce heifer that will pro-
duce small amount Of milk, the char
acter inherited from the sire, and that
little poor in butter fat, the character
from tie dam. The reverse is your
desire, but you may be disappointed.
Knowing these things, and also be-
ing able to buy the pure-breds of any
breed we many fancy, let US act
wisely in the matter and purchase our
foundation stock Of pure breeding.
