For Tilt With Dundee

NEW YORK. n. Y. Aug. g.
Charley White. the Chicago light
weight. arrived in New York TODAY
to complete arrangements for ais
little tilt with Johnny Dundee at
the Boxing Drome wednesday
night.
The little --westerner was a very
much disappointed boy when nc
learned on stepping OF the train
that his old side kick Benny Leon
ard, had bursted a bone in his left
hand, and was compelled to cancel
his bout with Lew Tender. at Phil
adelphia, Friday night.
"Just my luck" said Charlie.
Here I am in the best shape of my
life. expect to take Dundee on
Wednesday night and. as a matter
of fact expect to make a complete

Cobb entered the American
League in 1905, Speaker in 1908. Yet
both are still up around 400" 4
Out along an ancient track.
Where fate takes its hckle spin,
Greece and Rome have drifted back

so.- amid the bit-an miss.
We now shift the battlecry
To the glory that Is iris,
And the grandeur that Is Ty.
Greece once hit .4s4,
Rome poled out .493.
Each one knew the winning score
In the mighty jubilee. --
Once they knew the buoyant bliss
Linked unto the Batting Eye;
Knew the glory that Is Iris,
And the grandeur that Is Ty.
One and all fade from the frame.
Men and nstiens-through the hght-
Hold their brief span in the game
As they pass into the night. 49,. ...
But before they come TO this,
Now. before their fame must die,
Here's-the glory that is Iris,

speed and Distance.
A .highly-esteemed contributor,
G, ". R, rises to state that we are
out Of focus in suggesting that dis
tance is a matter -~of speed and
weight, or mass and momentum, ap-
piled to the object. ~, =
The point we made was that
power IN hitting a baseball, golf
ball or tennis ball was largely a
matter of speed at the moment of
impact ON the part of the weapon
employed
The rebuttal is offered that 1t
isn't SO much speed as it is a mat
ter of timing or the correct flick of
the wrists at the proper point.
This Is undpubtedly true. But
probably the best definition of cor
rect timing is maximum speed at
the moment of impact" 1t is this
flick of the wrists at the right mo-
rnent that drives a bat, golf club
or tennis racket to its top speed
just as the ball is hit. There is a
big difference between speed OF
hands and speed of implement. -
Both hands and club can work
at only moderate speed until the
crashing sector of the arc is
reached, where the last whirl or
flick doe sthe trick.

SELECTION OF HENS
FOR BREEDING

The observing poultryman should
be quite well acquainted with the
characteristics of han after she has
laid for II months, and should know
whether her kind is worth repro
duction. And when a hen has been
used as breeder and the progress
of her offspring studied until the
next season, her real worth should
be apparent.
The hens should be examined Of
ten; it is easy to handle them at
night by lantern or electric light.
The breast of breeding hen should
be plump and firm, but the abdomen
must be soft and pliable. Thickening
or hardening of TIE abdomen shows
accumulation of internal fat. This
also will be indicated by accumulat-
ed fat on the pelvic bones. Early
discovery of this tendency is neces-
sary, fer once it is established the
remedy is difficult.
If hens abdomen bears down
lower than the rear end of the keel
(breast bone), it is to discard her
from the breeders, as this indicates
vital weakness of the ovarian or
reproductive system. There is little
danger of pullet accommodating ex-
! cess fat until after her first year,
when the danger grows with age.
Excessive internal fat retards laying
interferes with fertility and is one
of the causes of chicks dying in the
shell; it often causes the death of
hens in hot weather.
The hens that begin to lay normally
wheH 'wen-developed and continue
far into the winter, with practically
no interruption by moult or broodi
ness, are of the greatest value a.
breeders, provided, however, that thi
strenuous task and the moult. which
follows have not depleted their vital

COWS OUGHT TO GET GOOD RIA
TION BEFORE CALVING.

1t is quite common practice thru
out the country for dairymen to allow
their cows to freshen in a thin run
down condition. This is done in one
of two ways. Either the cows are
bred back soon after calving and
MIXED up until very near freshening,
or they are dryed up and compelled
to rustic for themselves without be-
ing fed enough for them to build up
their systems.
This is an Improbable method for
two reasons. First, a cow while
milking requires more mineral mat
ter than is usually supplied in the
feed. She is compelled to make up
the deficiency by robbing her own
body. Quite often cows are thin and
run down at the end of the lactation
period. A cow that is made to fresh
en- year after year in thin condition
and without sufficient rest soon be-
comes run down and refuses to re-
spond well to feed. This causes
shorter life and less profitable pro-
UuCClOn.
Second, some of the farmers be-
lieve that it is more profitable to
withhold most of the feed while the
cow is dry. This is a mistake be-
cause if the cows are to make their
maximum production it is important
that they be properly fed and cared
for before they freshen. They should
be dry for about two months before
they freshen and fed all of the COCO
alfalfa and silage that they will con
sumo and also eight to 10 pounds Of
a grain mixture, the amount depend
ing on the condition of the cow. They
ought to lay on fat while they are
dry. 1t is a we'll known fact thai
among expert feeders that a sacl
of feed before a cows freshens j,

COLLEGE cow MAKES RECORD
By ]. o. Tretsven.
Assistant in Animal Industry, Mon
tana State College.

Grace Koningen No. 2OO6OS,
pure-bred Holstein cow bred and |
owned by the Montana State college
has recently completed one of the |
greatest milk and butterfat records |
ever made in Montana.
For the year December II, 1919,
to December 10, 1920, she produced
25, 1858 pounds of milk containing
791.17 pounds of butterfat, which is
equivalent to 1886 pounds of butter
on the basis of 80 per cent fat. This
is the highest milk record and the
second highest fat record ever made
at the state college farm. Her fat
record being excelled by Polander,
grade COW, who in 1911 produced in
one year 844.S pounds of fat, this
being the highest record ever made
by grade COW. Grace was calved
February 1, 1913. Her records to
date are as follows:
Days Milk Fat
First lacation .381 14,459.1 444.19
Sec. lactation. 1928 10000 551.22
Third lacation-- 347 1861 630.46
Eth. lactatien... ABS 19,823.0 1881
Fifth lactation 365 25, 1855 791.17
Grace Koningen is a large COW
weighing when in good condition
about 1,700 pounds. She has a great
capacity for food and the tempera-
ment of converting the food into
milk and butterfat. Her udder is
not exceptionally large but of good
shape and of the finest guilty. She
is an individual of excellent breed
ing as well as of good conformation.
On the sire's side she is closely re-
lated to Colantha Johanna Lad, who
has twenty-three daughters with rec
cords of more than 80 pounds and
whose dame once held the worlds
record. The dam of Grace is large
type cow with a record of 16,309.3
pounds of milk and 580.6 pounds of
fat In a year and is a daughter of
Nora Koningen, from whom most Of
the best Holsteins in the college herd
have descended. The grandsire on
thedam's side is Wisconsin Bess
Chief, who is the sire of Spring
Brook Bess- Burke with a record of
l,O94.16 pounds of fat in a year.
During the early part of her record
Grace was MIXED four times and lat
er three times per day.. She was fed
literally upon alfalfa hay, sunflower
sllage, roots, grains and pasture
grass The greatest consumption of
feed was IN January, when her ration
consisted of 20 pounds alfalfa hay,
30 pounds sunflower silage, 40
pounds roots and % pounds of con-

1918 FALL SEEDING
YIELDS Is BUSHELS

Great Falls-W. R. Kissock, who is
farming II miles below the Big Falls
along the Missouri river has on dis
play here some fine yellow flint corn
ears which are from eight to 10 inces
long and which were grown on his
ranch.
Mr.. Kicock also displays some very
fine quality wheat that has an unus-
ual history This wheat was seeded
in the fall of 1919. That was a drouth
year and the stuff did not get high
enough to be worth heading, so the
cattle were turned into the 40-acre
field.
In the spring of 1920 he went out
to re-seed the field to spring wheat
and found the soil covered with green
shoots of volunteer wheat. He de-
cided to let it grow, and in this last
fall he reaped 720 bushels of wheat
from this 40 acres, an average of 1s
bushels to the acre. 1t weighs 60
pounds to the bushel and is of fine
quality turkey red.

HAY MARKETS MAY BE
OVER SUPPLIED

In view of the large shipments
from Montana points which may re-
suit from the recent cut in freight
rates, John +. Ware, agent of market
ing, Montana Extension Service, calls
attention to the following facts:
loving to financial stringency
and the mild winter the demand for
hay at eastern points is very limited.
Amy large amount of hay ship
ped to anyone market may cause a
decided slump in price.
Sit is advised that hay be ship
ped only on an agreed price to re-
liable dealers. A few dollars spent
for kilograms may prove an excellent
investment.

(no agreed price, may be used by

PUREBRED sIREs INCREASING

Purebred bulls have proved their
value for improving range herds, and
the number being bought in the cow
country of the west is rapidly in
creasing each year, according to re-
ports to the United States depart
ment of agriculture. The scrub bull
is now blacklisted on the big nation
al forest pastures.
During the season of 1919 three To-
cal livestock associations. the men,
bers of which use the ranges of the
Sierra National forest in California,
adopted rules for the purchase of
purebred bulls. Under a special rule
each association was required to
place on the range sufficient num-
Der of purebred Hereford, Shorthorn
or Aberdeen Angus bulls. A COM
mittee to purchase and pass upon tine
credentials of each animal to be turn
ed loose on the ranges was appoint
ed.
Under this plan, during the graz
ing season 1920, 105 Herefords, 81
Shorthorns, and 6 Aberdeen-Angus
bulls were purchased by the stock
