FIRST POLO MATCHES
PLAYED IN LONG AGO
English Team Brought to United
States in 1886.
Member Of Nottingham Club Writes
Interesting Letter Describing In
itiai Contests for lnterna-
tionai Title.

In 1886 John Watson brought an
English team to the United States to
play the first matches for the interna-
tional polo cup. What comment that
visit caused. Americans were eager
to see the game and everyone knows
with what avidity it was taken up
when society said it was good to look
upon.
The following letter, written by n
member Of the birmingham team, who
played in those games, will be read
with interest, even though the writer
has begged not to have his name made
public. The letter follows:
american polo in 1856 was not, as
far as team play went, up to the
standard of first-class English polo.
The American rode very handy ponies
Il believe mostly Argentines. They
were not so well bred or as fast ponies
As ours. The American team did not
play well together and thought too
much of their individual play. They
had not then mastered the backhander
and did not try to keep the ball up
and down the middle of the ground
The English teams had learned their
polo to start with mostly in India.

players of his day. When playing a
practice game before the matches he
over-balanced himself and fell off his
pony. His craftsmanship on this ae4
count was much criticised by the
American press He was, however. a
very strong and good horseman, which.

matches. We We're to have played
several matches in the United States
but as the birmingham team beat the
best team the United States could
then produce in two consecutive
matches. the other matches fell
through.

and galloped for the ball. This rule
was decidedly to our advantage.

BEST Development OF CALF
Good Supply Of Milk or Skim Milk

prepared by the United States Depart
nent of Agriculture.)
No part OF dairy farming is more es-
sential than the proper feeding Of
Young calves Likewise nothing Is
more important for the best develop
ment OF calves than good supply Of
milk and skim milk in the ration. In
the past few years the surplus of these
products has been utilized as human
food in the form of condensed and
powdered milk and skim milk. Re-
pOrts recently received by the United
States Department of Agriculture, how
ever. point to a temporary surplus Of
these products during the flush season,
due to decreased export outlet. Tn.
til this situation is adjusted. it would
seem advisable to utilize the surplus
milk and skim milk as feed for live
stock.
In raising dairy calves most dairy
men prefer that the calf remain with
The COW for the first AZ hours. If it
Is taken away then the COW will be
less nervous when she begins to be
MIXED again for commercial purposes
than if they are allowed to run to-
gether for a long period.
1t is desirable that the calf be in a
thrifty, vigorous condition when it is
taught to drink. 1t may he left with
out food for II hours, at the end of
which time it will be hungry. and with
little teaching will usually drink
milk from the pail. Warm. fresh milk
from the mother should be put in a
clean pail and held near the floor in
front Of the calf, which will generally
begin to nose about the pail. Once it
gets taste Of milk, it will usually
drink without further trouble. Some
times. however more vigorous meas.
ures must he taken.
The quantity Of milk fed to a calf
depends upon its size and age and to
some extent on the kind and condition
of the feed, but experiments by the
Department Of Agriculture indicate
that about one pound day should
be fed for every ten pounds weight Of
the calf at birth. Many beginners
| make the mistake of letting the calf
have as much milk as it wants. This
would be all right il the calf were fed
every two Or lhree hours. as when it
runs with the COW. hut as it is i'm.
practicable ordinarily to feed more
than two or three times day, it is
best to keep the quantity we'll below
the capacity OF the calf and not risk
overlooking.
For the first four days milk from the
dam should be fed. After this the

day and increasing to two ur four
pounds. depending on tne vigor of the
calf. No more skim milk should be
fed than the calf will drink readily
In most cases at the end OF the third
week the ration should he approX-
mately One-half whole and one-half
separate milk.
At the beginning of the fourth week
from one-half t" three-fourth> of the
ration should be separated milk. Dur.
ing the week the change should he con-
tinued until by the beginning of the
fifth week only separated milk is fed.
In specially vigorous calves the change
may be made week earlier. After
this time separated milk may be fed
entirely, unless the calf is very deli.
cate. The quantity fed can he gradu.
ally increased until ~ to 20 pounds
day are given. If milk is very plen-
tifui, more may be fed. but otherwise
It will not be found economical.
The time that milk should be dis.
continued depends upon its cost in re.
