ED|CT ABOL|SHES BULL
 FIGHTING

FL PASO, Nov. IA. - General Car ranza's edict abolishing bull fighting throughout the republic has served to revive the more typical Mexican sports. in which the bull suffers lit tie and comes out alive. These sports. formerly seen only at holiday times on the great ranches, now entertain the people of the northern towns and cities as a Sunday afternoon pastime
 In Juarez the "jaripeo," or roping contest, is a curious mixture of the bull fight and wild west show. It is held in the bull ring with a band play ing the sprightly Spanish airs so popu- lar at the fights The events are di- yided into "suertes." or acts. an nounced by the bugle, much as is done in the regular bull fights.
 The first event takes place when bugle cuts into the music of the band and the gate swings open for the pa rade of the troops. But instead of the procession of the fighters in bright costume, four abreast headed by the knight in black who demands from | the president the keys to the bull pen, and followed by the horses of sacrifice and the mules to draw off the carcases, there march out clowns in calico uniforms stuffed with hay The clowns, wearing comic false faces and the huge sombreros of the peons, are stuffed so out of proportion that they can hardly walk They salute the president of the fight aud the crowd, mocking the manners of the tOreadors.
 A bugle blast then announces the bull, which rushes out and after dodg- ing past capes, manages to horn and toss up a clown. who comes down in torn uniform and a pile of his own hay, while the audience roars with laughter
 The other events are done by Mexi- can cowboys, who show their skill with fancy throws of the lariat. Bulls are not the only victims at the roping, tying and riding game, as wild bron- 1 chos have to serve their turn. When bull is ridden, rope is made fast around his fore-quarters, as his hide is too loose and slippery to hold on to. A bull can put up quite as good an exhibition of bucking as any of the ponies.
 In the Mexican point of view, the roping contest is rather a tame sub stitute for the bull fight. Baseball, proposed as another substitute, is popular among boys, but at present it does not appear likely to take soon a popular hold. At best. it is an inn ported sport
 The anti-Carranza Spanish newspa- pers published in Texas and at other points on the American side Of the border have made a great deal of fun of the Carranza decree. In these pa pers, the bull fight is defended as a sport

states that factors that are the result
Of hercdity, such as the influence of

dividing forty heifer calves into two
groups. One group received heavy
ration from birth to first calving, the
other group was given light ration.
The heavy ration consisted OF whole
milk during the first six months and all
the grain and hay the heifers would
eat The light fed group received
skimmiIk during the first six months
and. hay and pasture only after this
age up to first caiving. A further fac
tor was introduced by having one half
of each of these two groups calve at
an early age for the breed and the
other half about year later.
1t was observed that this age Of first
calving bad a pronounced effect upon
the size of the cows. The growth OF
the heifers that calved early was
checked to n marked degree. The re-
suit was cow somewhat smaller and
more refined IN type than those calving

Practically all of the nine years were

money so that be was able to buy a
small farm equipment and rent a
farm. AS with many other young
farmers, tho time OF changing from
hired man to tenant was thar Of hi

After three years he bought for $1,000
tho 100 acre place which he was then
farming as tenant. Since buying the
original place he has bought another
forty acres. Now he owns 100 acres,

other words. he had 81 $50 for his own
