SOCIETY FLOCKS To
/. FIRST POLO GAME
Return of Old Four to Defend
Cup Rouses Interest to
! the Top Notch.

NEW YORK. June lo.-one inter
national conflict right after another
is shaking New York and with the
ten preliminaries in the Davis Gun
series disposed of. society turned to-
day its attention to the Meadowbrook
Club at Westbury, L. l.. where the
English and American polo teams viii
meet in the contests, for the West
chester Challenge Cup. now held by
the American Big Four"
The opening match in the series
does not start until o'clock this af-
ternoon. but long before that hour the
crowds were trooping toward Mead
owbrook. All fashionable hotels are
filled with out-of-town guests and at
the luncheon hour today the hotels
and clubs were almost as gay as at
the height of the season.
Old Four Back In Saddle.
Interest in the matches has been
brought to fever-heat by the develop
ments in the American camp during
the last week as a result of which
the team that defended the cup SUI
cessfully two years ago was entirely
broken up and a new. four, headed by
Foxhall Keene, placed in the field.

placed back in the. saddle.
England is represented by the best
poloists the British empire can pro-
duce. The colonies were combed for
men and ponies. All of the players
who will make the first try for the
cup today are army officers, skilled
riders and mounted upon the best
ponies available. 49,

There is something about the big
-Four" captained by Whitney, that
holds the confidence of the polo fol-
lowers, no matter what reports as to
their lack of condition may come
from the field They have the dash,
spirit, and daring which their hack
ers believe will carry them through.
Two years age the superior work of
the American: ponies was' held re-
sponsfble by the Englishmen for their
defeat. but this year their mounts
have shown as well as the Americans.

ness, keep them in the same condi-
ton he can still model and adopt the
best features as far as is compatible
with the size of his pocket book.
The dairy inspector should keep In
mind that these model places are
rarely operated at profit and to ex-
pect to try to compel the ordinary
dairyman to erect such buildings OF
keep them in the same condition
would mean the forcing of him out
of business. So far the breeding Of
thoroughbred cattle in the state has
been marked by signal success ano
the milk and butter tests that have
been carried on by some of our most
successful breeders have been highly
satisfactory and have proved in {
marked degree the future of Washing
ton as district for breeding higt
producing dairy cattle. In the years
to come I look to see conditions re-
versed and the east coming to the
west for high grade cattle. We car
produce in our own state dairy Gov
the peer of any. All conditions Of
soil, climate, water and grasses are
here and with the skill and jugdment
of our breeders we will produce the
animal. I am of the belief that the
grade dairy COW of the state is as
good as the grade COW of any state in
the Union. 1t should be the aim Of
all of us to make her the best. The
question is, how can this be donei
Which is the quickest means Of ac'
complishing this much desired re-
suit? And is it within the reach Of
the many dairymen so that each car
lend the helping hand, if not, it is
foredoomed to failure. 1t is my
opinion that by system of co-opera
ton among farmers it can be placed
within the reach of all to help.
PLEA FOR THOROUGHBRED
SIRES.
1t is a fact admitted by practically
all stock men that there is no better
surer or quicker, method of improv
ing the dairy herd than by the con
tinuous use of thoroughbred bulls o
pronounced dairy types. Animal
whose dams and grand dams have
made good at the pail, in other words
whose whole line of ancestry has beer

production. There is another poin

the keen alert dairyman. Some
cows, and 1 am at loss to fully
understand the reason, bred to any
sire will throw a heifer equal, and
in many instances superior in milk
ing qualities to herself, another COW
equally as good at the pail as the
first, with just as good dairy lines,
bred to any sire will never, or on very
rare occasions throw heifer as good
as herself. This is one of the mys-
teries of stock breeding. If we take
advantage of these conditions and
never under any circumstances kill
the heifer calf of the COW that breeds
true, and never unless under dire
necessity keep the heifer calf Of the
COW that is an untrue breeder then we
will be getting double action in push

fat and yet made more clear money
than he does now with butterfat at
thirty nine cents. Before L get too
far away from the high price of mill
feeds, that cuts out practically all OF
the profits of winter dairying, L want
to say that in my judgment they are
artificial and caused by the mill com
bination of the Coast. All kinds Of
business in the state save one, and
that is dairying, seem to be able to
form combinations and operate with
impunity, and yet when a certain
milkman Of the city of Seattle year
or SO ago was charged with forming a
combination to govern the price of
milk, instead of being classed with
other trust magnates as public bene-
factor lending his best energies and
talents solely for the benefits of the
public this trust promoter was
promptly arrested, tried, convicted
and jailed. I have not yet heard of
any other combination in the state
being even charged with such crime.
THE BACK TO THE FARM MOVE
MENT.
There are a number of people all
over the country in various walks of
life who are insistently crying "back
to the farm, back to the the farm, "
even bankers say they are making
liberal contributions to stimulate
such movement. The aim and object
of this movement is to increase pro-
duction aud reduce the cost of food
products or to put it in another way
to compete with the present farmer
and reduce the price of his products.
Cannot these gentlemen see that there
is an enormous gulf between what the
farmer receives for his products and
the consumer pays. If they would
stop this cry of "back to the farm, -
and devote their eXuberance Of energy
to eliminate the horde of human
leeches that stand between the farmer
and the consumer, bleeding both, and
thereby compel these middlemen to
become producers of wealth, instead
of drones living off the labors OF
others it would be boon to the
nation and then use some of their
money to evolve a successful method
for the producer to deal direct with
the consumer at the lowest possible
cost to each we would hear but little
more about the high cost of living for
years to come.
A DISCOURAGINGS SIGN.
One dark and discouraging period
in our industry during the year now
drawing to a close stands out promi-
nently, viz, the abrupt closing down
last winter of the milk condenseries
of the state. If | am correctly in
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1913-01-01

am not, the gentlemen operating
these large factories, daily purchas
ing immense quantities of milk, il
fact, all available in the district il
which they operated, constantly urgec
the dairymen to increase their herds
so that they could obtain even greater
supplies, and then without due warn
ing or notice to their patrons abrupt
ly ceased operations, giving neither
the dairymen nor the dealers IL
dairy products an opportunity to ad
just their business to changed con
ditions or in any measure anticipate
the throwing on the market of a large
amount of extra cream, utterly de-
moralized the dairy business and
caused great financial loss to prac-
tically every dairyman in the state,
lays the acts of these gentlemen open
to severe criticism and condemna-
ton. For them to say that over-pro-
duction was the cause and they were
compelled to close is only begging
the question. These men are bust
ness men and are in constant touch
with all ends of their business, II 1t
was really case of over-production
as they tell us, then it must have
been going on for months and not
days to have the immense stock on
band as stated, and for them to en-
courage dairymen to increase their
herds knowing as they must have
known that these conditions existed,
was unbusiness like, unjust to their
patrons and unfair to dealers in dairy
products and severe blow to the
dairy industry of the state.
A new factor and one that must
work for the upbuilding and strength
ening of the dairy industry is the
very encouraging feature of number
of the wealthy men of the state enter
ing the business. They spare no
pains, nor begrudge the price, pro-
vided they get what they want in
high class animals. AS consequence
the average dairyman is enabled to
purchase from these gentlemen the
offspring of these magnificent animals
at a much lower price than he could
if compelled to purchase from the
eastern breeders, or import them
from Europe. There is still greater
advantage to the dairymen from the
fact that he can always if he desires
land every dairyman should desire)
see the sire and dam of any animal
he intends to use for breeding pur-
poses. He has also the further adj
vantage of studying the dairy build
ings erected on these places, getting
pointers on feeding, methods con-
ducive to the production of high class
milk and cream and caring for same,
possible improved methods of meet
ing and combating contagious dis
eases, and care of sick animals and
scores of other things that help to
