a girl weighing over twelve and a

The agricultural club of Malmo
held a most interesting meeting not
long ago. Farming without Stock
Raising" was the subject discussed.
The speakers leaned strongly towards
the opinion that farming without
stock raising is by no means an i'm
possibility. Nearly all the speakers
agreed that stock raising is not a pay
ing proposition. The number of COWS
ought to be reduced, and the price of
milk raised. 1t was also emphasized
that a mistake was made some years
ago when East Tristan cattle were
substituted for the old home breed.
The general secretary of the Olym-
pic games to be held in Berlin in 1916,
Mr.. Diem, has been spending some
time in Stockholm to gather informa.
ton from the Swedish committee
which conducted the successful meet
ing of 1912. Mr.. Diem said that the
German games would be conducted on
the same lines as were the Swedish,
with one central body and different
committees for various branches of
sport. The stadium in Berlin, which
is nearing completion, will contain a
large running track, surrounded by a
cycling track. The running track will
be 666 meters long and there will be
plenty of room on the green inside
for field sports. The Berlin stadium
will cost 100000. At the next Olym.
pic congress Germany will propose
that fancy cycling and figure skating
iE an ice rink be added to the Olym.
pic program, and will strongly oppose
the inclusion of boxing. The Germans
do not understand boxing at all, said
Mr.. Diem, and consider it a barbarous
sport. Germany probably will be op
posed on this point by England, the
United States, Sweden and Denmark
nations which have favored boxing.
