IMPORTANCE OF cow TESTING
Nebraska Bulletin Says Work Of A.
sociatlons Makes DaIrylng DesIr-
able and Profitable.

tBy e. A. BURNETT. Director Nebraska
Experiment Station.)
The Nebraska Experiment station
has just issued Bulleton No 1923, on
Results Of the Douglas County Cow
Testing Association" In this bulle-
tin the Importance of COW testing
work is pointed out
Cow testing association work repre-
sents one Of the best and easiest ways
OF making dairying more profitable
and desirable. It Is a well.rscognized
fact that the remarkable success Of
datrying in Denmark. Sweden, and
Holland is largely due to the fact that
they saw early the benefits that could
be derived from well-conducted coop
erative cow testing associations.
The authors point out that very
likely there are over 100000 cows in
Nebraska today that are not paying
for their keep. and that the profit Of
the other 100000 cows can be greatly
increased, If not doubled, by proper
methods of feeding and management.
They suggest the possibility, by prop,
er methods. Of increasing the present
annual average production of 1875
pounds to ESQ pounds Of butter-fat ped
year. thus adding millions OF dollars
to the income Of the COW owners OF
the state.
This bulletin contains complete rec
ords OF the feed consumed and butter
fat produced by each COW in the vari-
GUS herds tested. One OF the tables
published shows that ten cows gave
profit of $1.032.SS. while ten other
cows in the same association netted
profit Of only s57s2
Any one directly or Indirectly In
terested in dairying should make It

Johnson Brands
 Jim Corbett Liar
Champion Declares He'd Give Former Champ Trimming
 if He Met Him

Chicago, Jan. 11-Jack Johnson was one angry champion, yesterday, when he read the reply of James J. Corbett to his accusation that the former ring idol tried to bribe him to fake. Jack was so perturbed that had Corbett been al ound there probably would have been a livey mixup involving an old and newer ring idol.
 ''Corbett says I faked with Kauf- man and Ketchel, does he?" shouted Jack when he reached O'Connelrs gymnasium in the afternoon. Well tell him he's the liar, not I. If that fellow were here now I'd give him a punching. He knows I told the tru h and that I could beat him the best day he ever lived"
 E The champion sealed in public yes terday in boxing togs for the first time since the Johnson-Jeffries fight eigh- teen months ago. With about three pounds of stage trunks and shoes on he tipped the beam at an even 229 pounds. He boxed six three-minute rounds with Walter Monahan and Marty~ Cutler. After it was all over Jack Curley, ma nager of Jim Flynn, admitted that Johnson looked about as good as ever.
 There is small chance of the Palzer- Flynn match for New York, scheduled for February 15. being pulled off. No forfeits have been posted and Curley says there will be no fight unless the men are allowed to box straight rules. The New York State Boxing Commis- sion ruled for clean breaks.

 The game was rough one and brought out a big crowd of followers of the sport and the two univers ties. Of the individuals Baker of Princeton carried off the honors. He was in every play, shot one of the goals for his side and another that bounced out and was .caged again by Kuhn. Hunt .ington played well for Harvard He shot two goals.
 At times the contest resembled shinny more than the great Canadian game In their excitement the men threw science to the winds and soaked away at the puck as though they were trying to drive a polo ball.

ENGLAND H.PcFUL OF
 CAPTU }ING HONORS IN
 COMING 0lYMP. 0 GAMES

To win the Olympic games seems to be the ruling passion of a large nun Der of EngIishmen just now. The wave of patriotism sweeping America is duplicated in England. The cry for Olympic mateltaI has reached na- tional proportions.
 Pointing to the United States as the most dangerous rival, English athletic authorities bewail the lack of coaches to develop men for the games, and a committee of 100 ex-track and field champions has been appointed to seek for and develop a team capable of hoIeTng or of defeating America.
 England has suffered from athletic stagnation ever since 1908, when the United States won the Hons share of Olympic prizes. It isn't that the ma teriaI is lacking, but interest has been permitted to wane. The call for vol tight Htt'e isle, and the response to the national pride has been spontan- eous.
 Englishmen dhave always been won derfuI distance runners. They have been weak at the sprints and in some of the field events. The effort now being made is to find men capable of holding the field against all corners. Two of the best English amateurs are Harry Green, a Marathon runner of ability, and w. Scott, England's ten mile chamrEon-
 Surprises for American athletes are found in the o ympic games program. The first is a 200 mile bicycle race, the only wheeling event listed. The short distance races expected are cnnspiou- ous by their absence. The 200 mile event VIII be a road race around Lake Malar, open to teams.
 The football competition is to be linn ited to the association game and teams affiliated with the International Foot bah Federation.
 The track and field contests. under the head of athletics, consist of the 100, 200 400, 800, 1,500, 5000 and 10000 me ter fiat races, the Marathon. a 11O me ter hurdle. running and standing high and broad jumps, standing high and broad jumps, hop, step and III~-'- pole vault, throwing javelin ri- ~ han6), throwing hammer aI4 all round events, the pentathlon and de- cathlon, the former cinsisting of five events and the latter of ten.

Motor Cars Now On
 Lehigh Valley Tracks

In place of the old-fashioned hand car operated by the muscle of ma n, the Lehigh Valley Railroad has on d number of sections adopted the motor car for track inspection and repair work. Formerly the section men expended a great deal of valuable energy pumping the band-car, and were already tired by the time they started the days work. Now, to move over sections where the motor car 4 used, they merely throw a clutch and speed a ong the track, with no effort on their part, at fifteen, twen- ty, or twenty-five miles an hour.
 Having given the new system a good trial, the Lehigh Valley has just or dered a dozen new motor cars, and they will be put into service immed- lately upon delivery Eventually the old hand-cars will be displaced alto gether.
 The innovation is most welcome to the men, as it saves them labor. and they can do much more effective work on account of being fresh when they start on a job.
 The section motor car. as it is call ed, is run by a gasoline engine, like an automobile. It is made light weighing only TOO pounds, so that the section gang can easily lift it to and from the track. It has no back or front-it Es alike at both ends and it runs at the same speed in either di- rec-ion.
 The car is equipped with portable telephone apparatus, so that the fore man, at any tine. can make connec- ton with the wires and communicate with the train despatchers.
