ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES

1819-Dan Donnelly, the famous Irish champion. fought his last ring battle, defeating his old enemy. Tom
 Oliver. Seven months later the Irish hero died suddenly from drinking too much water! At any rate, the doctors declared that Dams violent demise was directly due to imbibing large quantities of very cold water after violent exercise in a game of lives. It may be that Donne1ly E death was accepted as a warning by other pugilists, for certain it is that for many years thereafter few of the fstic profession incurred much dan- ger from drinking water. Donnelly was one of the greatest fighters ever produced by a fighting race, and in his prime he was unbeatable. He was only 32 when he died, but he had retired from the ring immediately af- ter his second victory over Oliver. Dopnelly's funeral was one of the biggest ever held in Ireland, and his grave is still place of pilgrimage. The immortal Dan was born in Dub- lin on St. Patrick's Day in 178S, and that fact added to his popularity. His greatest battle was fought in 1874, when he whipped Tom Cooper, the English champion and on his return to Dublin after that victory he was accorded one of the most notable tri- umphs ever arranged for a conquering hero.

hay crop and the poor outlook for a good corn crop, not only in Connecti- cut but in the Hiddle Western States, are planning to let their oats mature and thresh them for grain. They have enough grass and clover to supply their needs for hay. The oats as grain, will come in handy, especially if the corn crop is a partial failure, as present reports indicate.

 SEED|NClS SUCCESSFUL ONLY
 WITH MUCH CARE
Ground Should be Thorough ly Prepared Pertinent Ad-
 vice Anent Milk Flow

The New Haven County Farm Bu- ,reau, in cooperation with the Con- necticut Agricultural College and the United States Department of Agricul- ture, has issued the following bulle- tin:
 Fall Seeding.
 Clover and grass may be seeded in the fall in one of two ways; in stand ing corn at the last cultivation or alone in August after crops like oats or early potatoes have been harvest ed. It is a good plan to get the seed into the ground during August. How ever, weather conditions will deter mine this point somewhat. Cover and grass seeds are small and. there- fore, do not gern1nate as easily and surely as do larger seeds. It is inf- portant that there be plenty of moist ure in the soil at the time of seeding.
 Unless lime has been used recently on the soil, one and one-haif to two tons of ground limestone should be applied before, seed is sown. If barn yard manure is not available, 200 to 400 of ground bone can generally be distributed to good advantage ou an acre.
 On, grass lands that will be left down for a considerable time, the fol- lowing seed mixture will give good satisfaction: 12 pound timothy. 4 pound reclsaned red top, 8 pound red clover, pound alsike clover, pound alfalfa. S
 For a shorter rotation. the following mixture Is recommended: 12 pound red clover. pounds alsike clover and 5 pound timothy.
 It is essential tu fit the ground thor cughly\ant to apply the seed evenly. Alter sowing the seed the grnund should be brushed or ttne over w1ii a weeder to cover the sec d.

 The solution is to provide additional feed, the best of which is corn silage in the summer silo. The next best is the harvesting of some crop green and placed in the winter silo about June. A plan just as desirable as either, but more tedious, is cutting l of green crops, and drawing them from the fields daily. Some plan to supply sufficient feed is essential in maintaining production and wise in dairy management.-G. c. White Connecticut Agricultural College. July Grain Market.

PLAZA.

It was a crackerjack show that greeted the patrons of the Plaza yes-' terday afternon, and evening and ev- eryone seemed highly pleased with the ehtire bill from the opening act to the final Triangle play.
 The Imperial Troupe in an original offering with three girls and two men were the headliners. Their act con- sists of what the announcer terms aerial basketball on wheels. All are iskiliful riders and their ability to play 2n exciting game had the spectators thrilled for fully ten minutes. Bevan and Flint, man and wo- man, have splendid little skit com posed of song, comedy chatter and dance and it was a hit from the start. Both are gifted performers and their , material is right up to the mark throughout.

A good ration with which to sup plement pasture can be made up as follows: Hominy, 200 pounds; flour middlings, 100 pounds; standard brand, 100 pounds. This ration is one recommended by MT. Musser for July. Feed one pound to five pound or six pound milk and then increase the grain ration as pasture fails, or cows production begins to shrink.
 July is. on the average, the best month in which to buy bran and lin- seed oil.
