Wins By Big Margin.

Sandy Hook, Y. j., July 27.-De-
fender Resolute gave the British chal-
lenger, Shamrock w, the worst durb-
bing of the 1920 regatta in the final
race of the series today, winning boat
for boat by 13 minutes and as seconds
and the Americas famous yachting
cup remains American property.
Overcoming 40-second lead and the
advantage of windward berth which
Shamrock w had taken at the start.
the fleet defender held a lead of four
minutes and eight seconds at the half
way stake of the 30-milc course, and
crossed the finish line thirteen minutes
and five seconds ahead. Including her
handicap of six minutes and forty
seconds, which she did not need, Reso
lutte won by 10 minutes and 45 seconds
In capturing the series and retaining
possession of the Americas trophy,
kesolute came from behind after
Shamrock had taken two races and
won out by registering three straight
an impressive victories. Shamrock w
won the initial race when the de-
fender was forced out by an accident
to her rigging, and captured the sec
ond in a tickle wind that left Resolute
becalmed most of the way. Resolute
wo nthe third by her time allowance
of seven minutes and one second, run
ming dead heat with the challenger.
Her other two victories were won boat
for boat.
"Best Boat Won."
Sir Thomas Upton, owner of the
green challenger, voiced what ap
peared to be the unanimous verdict of
yachtsmen who had seen the five
races when he declared tonight that
"the best boat won."
When R"solute flashed across the
golden finish line that the setting sun
. had laid down on the ripping water,
Shamrock was mile or more behind,
her own great sails bellyng broadly,
when the sig nal ball of the committee
boat dropped and the screeching whis-
ties and sirens fro mthe little fleet of

victory.
The beaten Shamrock swept quickly
down the course, striving to shorten
the intervening gap and salve as much
feat.
But as if to emphasize the great diff
ference in time between the two fin
ishes, the flaming sun dropped like
plummet into the deepening haze and
pale moon, which had been but dim
] ytraced against the sky when Reso-
lutte finished stood out with increas-
ing radiance when Ehamrock finally
got over the line.
Resolute by this time had de-
scribed great circle and had come
back to the mark to see her rival
finish. AS the challenger crossed the
mark her crew let out three ringing
cheers and the victor and conquerors
responded with lusty cheers for Sham
rock and her crew.
Sir Thomas Upton, who built the
challenger in his fourth effort to lift
the bottomless old pewter mug that
is the Americas cup and take it back
to it's original home in England,
turned away from his humble sailing
beauty and sent his steam yacht Vic
! toria full speed ahead to overtake and
congratulate the Resolutc's crew. He
returned just In time to see Shamrock
eros sthe line.

The aged sportsman's gamcncss as
he drew away from his own sloop to
congratulate the winner elected a sal
vo of cheers from those on board the
spectator craft, and Sir Thomas re-
sponded as juantily as if he had not
seen his own fondest hope once more
bafflcd.

"That won't do" said Brother, "bc-
cause it win soon be dark, and we
may ride right over a precipice or
something. We've got to camp here
all night"
They rode out into the desert a little
way, and about a mile beyond them
they saw something green.
"That looks like a patch Of grass, |"
said Brother. maybe there is a spring
there"
Lets go and see. Maybe it's an
oasis" Sister had read in her geog-
raphy about the Gases in the great
desert Of Sahara.
So they rode out to the patch of
grass, and it was not grass at all. It
was prickly pears.
Prickly pear bushes are a kind Of
cactus. The leaves are about half an
inch thick, and are very thorny. The
pears are not much like real pears.
They look something like a lemon,
only they are pink, and they are COW
cred with little prickles so small that
you can hardly see them.
The children were much disappoint-
ed, but they dismOunted and looked
around. They discovered that the
prickly pear bushes grew in circle.
There was just one place where you
could get in among them, and then
you were in an open spot about as big
as an ordinary room. It was smooth
and sandy in there, and all around
were prickly pears.
"Why, it's a kind of fort!" said
Brother. Il call it Prickly Pear Fort.
This is the place to camp in"
So they led the ponies in, and took
off the saddles, and let the ponies lie
down. The ponies were hungry, but
there was no supper to give them.
They gave Aristotle the dog biscuit
to eat. 1t is good thing that dogs
like dry biscuits, without milk or any
thing. If Aristotle had been a cat
can't imagine what he would have done
for his supper in such place.
1--WE must have fire." said Brother,
and he went out into the desert and
brought in armful after armful of
dried sage brush.
Then he built little fire, just for
cOziness, and they sat down by it.
''But what" said Sister, "what are
we going to eat?"
Tomatoes" said Brother.
Il don't see any," said the little girl.
''You will in minute" said Brother,
and he ran to his saddle bags. He
came back with can opener and a
can of tomatoes.
Ny! how good the juice of those
tomatoes tasted to those thirsty chill

CORRECTNESS OF SEPARATOR
Minnesota Farmer Discovered He Was
Losing 1854 Pounds Of Butterfat
Every 80 Days,

Defects in the separator will, in the
course Of time, make heavy inroads on
the dairyman's receipts from butterfat.
For instance, the testing Of skim milk
to ascertain how the separator is
working is not regarded important by
some dairymen. But in the case Of
one herd of 50 cows in Minnesota,
which produced 1900 pounds of but
terfat last June. the skim milk was
tested and found to be carrying off
1854 pounds Of real hutterfat every 30
days. This is vouched for by L. v.
Wilson, agent in dairying for the Uni
ted States Department of Agriculture
with headquarters at University Farm.
'This farmer" says Mr.. Wilson, 'pur-
chased a new separator the next day
after the skim milk was tested. This
incident ought to be sufficient lesson
for prompting many others to deter
mine the accuracy Of their separators,"

PUNCTUALITY is ESSENTIAL
Dairyman Should Be Regular About
His Work With His Herd-Feed
Grain While Milking.

The dairyman should be punctual
and regular about his work, for not
only does the work itself depend on
II, but the amount of milk the COW
will give as well. In feeding, the
grain should be fed first and while 1t
is being consumed milking should be
done. Hay should be fed after milk
ing, for it fills the air with dust
which carries immense quantities OF
mold and bacteria that will hasten
the spelling of the milk If permitted
to enter IT.

1921 pounds of American butter
were exported during the first seven
months of 1920, whereas 22,9S6, 294
pounds were sent out of the country
during the corresponding period Of
1919.
Imports Of butter from Denmark
are being curtailed at present because
the prices asked by the holders of Dan
ish butter in storage here are higher
than the wholesale prices for the
American product, and some difficulty
is being experienced in moving the
Danish stock.

LAReER IMPORTS OE BuTTER
For First Seven Months Of This Year
22,s55,oeo Pounds Shipped to
United States.

The record for butter Imports es-
tabIished In 1919, when 9,51e, 36s
pounds of butter and butter substi-
tutes were brought into the United
States, was short lived. Following the
recent announcement OF these impor-
tant figures by the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture the depart
ment has compiled reports for the
first seven months Of this year which
show that the United States during
that period imported 22,S55, 900 pounds
Of foreign butter, which Is more
than ever before.
This remarkable increase is at
tributed by foreign marketing experts
Of the departments bureau of markets
largely 10 the foreign exchange stu
alton. With American dollars COM
handing premium throughout the
world it is obviously good business for
foreign butter manufacturers to sell
their product in the United States. For
eign manufacturers also have the adj
vantage Of low cargo rates. Another
reason for the increased imports is
that whereas England was formerly
Denmark's principal butter outlet,
England can now purchase butter more
cheaply from Australia and Argen-
tina. Ireland also Is producing but
ter on larger scale.
The effect Of the exchange )situa-
ton is also reflected in a decrease Of
American butter exports. Thus. To-

drunk, how good the tomatoes tasted /
They sat by the fire for a little
while, and then Brother said, 'Tm
hungry yet" He got up and wan
dered round the fort, and then took
out his knife and cut off a prickly
pear very carefully. He came back
and stuck it on the end of stick, and
held 1t over the fire, as if he were
roasting an ear of corn.
Sister laughed at him, and Brother
laughed at himself, for he was Only

were good to eat.
The fire burned the prickles Off the
thick leaf, and gave it a good toasting.

"but that was funny"
1t did not take long to cut some
more pears, burn Off the prickles, and
feed them to the ponies. But the poor
dog had none. He didn't like them.
Then Brother roasted a pear very
carefully, and sliced it with his knife,
and tried it himself. 1t wis really very
good eating, if you were hungry
enough. Inside it looked like a
tomato.
''rhls is a great place" said Brother.
"When you get hungry, you just eat a
piece Of the fort. Only the fort is full
Of seeds"
Let us have some" said Sister. So
Sister ate some, too.
Then they put the saddles near the
fire and rested against them, and
warmed their feet. 1t was not really
cold, but they had to do something.

Traditional Marriage Customs.

It was an ancient custom among the Scandinavians to drink methegelin, or diluted honey. for 30 days after a we'd ding. In the island of Rhodes honey Is still a factor in the marriage rites. After the ceremony the husband dips a finger in honey and traces a cross over the doorway of his home before his bride enters, while the guests ad- monish the bride to "Be always sweet and good. as Is this honey"
 The wedding cake goes back to an- tiquity. One of the important fea- lures of the marriage ceremony among the Romans was the partak- ing, by both contracting parties, of a cake made of flour, salt and water. This was done in the presence of the high priest and ten witnesses.
 The use of the wedding ring is aI- most universal, but in the country dis trlcts around Cadiz no ring is used After the ceremony the groom shifts the flowers in his wife's hair from left to right, for to wear a flower over the right ear is to proclaim ones self a wife.
