We have been asked upon scattered
and belated occasions the names Of
the greatest putters in the country
among both the amateurs and the
pros. There was day, so far as the
amateurs were concerned, when one
could say Travers and Travis and then
stop-with an occasional glance in the
direction of Bill Fownes.
But the first two haven't been cham
pionship factors for some time, and
Fownes was missing at St. Louis last
September.
Good, consistent putting in the ANA
teur ranks is becoming a rare thing
to find.
Most Of the practice seems to be
built around long hitting or iron play,
for there are none left willing to work
as hard as Travis and Travers did to
get a strong, sure foundation for the
scoring club.
Among the thirtytwo who qualified
for the championship fight at st. Louis
we recall only two who putted con-
sistently good in every match. These
two were Jesse Gui1ford and Willie
Hunter, champions now of United
States and Great Britain.
The others were good and bad, OF
bad and good, but always spotty.
On the Green
Willie Hunters magnificent putting
was one of the main features of his
title journey at Hoylake.
The remainder of his play was sound
hut his deadly effectiveness with true
putting blade did the business.
He used the same club to beat Bobby
Jones. We recall seven holes in that
match where Jones was closer to the
cup in 2 than Hunter was in 8. Yet
the best Jones could get on these sever
. holes was half. Not one of then
came his way.
Hunters putting in this match was
a marvellous thing to look upon be-
cause of it's iron-rimmed consistency
The same thing applied to Guilford
who refused to waver on the greer
from Monday through Saturday. Gull
ford. when Gardner was after him
took one putt on each of four greens II
succession for just that many brides
and this promptly broke up the match

The Harvard System

We have been asked number Of times lately just
what the Harvard system is
1t has many ramhcatons. The most important con-
Germs the quarterback. Harvard believes in develop
ing quarterback who is a keen field general above
everything else
The quarterback is Thinking Machine in the
Harvard outline and he isn't out there to play any
leading role in the running game
Percy Haughton figured out some years ago that
no man could be knocked about hammered tackled and
battered constantly and still keep COOL clear head
Good Judgment rarely accompanies a number of
usty thuds against the ground where the head often
arrives first.
So Harvard decided to let her quarterback be a
directing field marshal, just as Foch directed the
Allied armies.
And it wasn't Foch's job to lead an assault over
the top.
Great Idea
This is great idea. Harvard by training her
in proper strategy and then keeping them
out OF the scrimmage much as possible, has had
good field generals for the last ten years.
In fact Harvard has had in this span a far greater
number of good field generals than Yale and Prince
ton put together for the simple that man who
isn't being constantly bumped and who isn't worn down

BEFORE HEALTH
BREAKS DOWN
Wise People Take Pepto-Man-
gan, the Blood Builder.

The prevention Of sickness is one Of
the greatest works of the public health
authorities. People are being taught
how to take care of their bodies so
that they can avoid sickness. In
schools children are being taught n.y.
giene. Serious illness can be avoided
by proper care Of the health. Pale
faces, sickly bodies, loss of appetite
and sleep, headaches and nervousness
are usually signs of weak blood. With
poor blood, the body has no resistance.
Disease germs have an easy time of
it. People are learning the necessity
of keeping blood In good condition.
They take Guides Pepto-Mangan
when they feel run down. That keeps
blood normal so that 1t can resist
disease. 1t is sold in both liquid and
tablet form at drug stores. Adver-

SPECIAL RATION FOR FOWL
Great Deal OF Concentrated Feed Is
Given Where Table Scraps Are
Fed to Flock.

Owners Of backyard focks, and
sometimes farmers, depend to a con-
siderable extent upon table scraps as
feed for the hens. Feed of this sort
varies a good deal in composition with
different families and also with the
season, but in winter It Is usually free
from large quantities Of coarse green
stuff and contains great deal of fair
ly concentrated feed.
The United States Department Of
Agriculture has designed ration spe-
cially to be fed to flocks that receive
all Of the table scraps. The mash Of
this ration is made up Of three pounds
corn meal, one pound bran, one pound
middlings, one-half pound meat scrap.
The scratch feed contains two pounds
cracked corn, one pound wheat and
one pound oats. If scraps are not
available, feed five pounds of cooked
vegetables daily to 30 hens. Two per
cent of bone meal may be added to
the mash without changing any of the
other constituents. Five per cent Of
bone meal may be added If the content
meat scrap Is reduced slightly.

fact that only about so per cent OF
the sires used in the dairy herds of
the county are purebred The re-
mainder are either grades or scrubs.
About 20 per cent of the cows list
ed are purebreds. These animals are
for the most part scattered through
large number of herds, showing that
the average dairyman is working into
purebredS as fast as financial cOndi-
lions will permit.
In studying the census 1t is noticed
Immediately that the most prosper
Gus sections of the county have high
grades and purebreds. This is not
confined entirely to the valley farms,
since the town Of Tloga contains the
largest number of purebreds-35 bulls
| and 1926 cows of any town in the
county. Newark valley Is in billy
country for the most part, but it is a
prosperous farming section. 1t boasts
of 6S purebred bulls and "a purebred
cows among 1903 animals or nearly
10 per cent. In another town in SINH
lar billy country the agriculture is
more backward. The purebred cat.
| tie are limited to II bulls and 1S
cows out of 500 animals, which is but
little more than per cent. Similar
differences were noted In six other
townships surveyed.
The Tioga county farm bureau Is
starting on a campaign to eliminate
the scrub sire from the herds Of the
county. At the fall county fair in
September a purebred bull sale was
held on the last day. The animals
were sold to the highest bidder re.

farm bureau will arrange with men to

and to exchange sires from one com.

Every effort Is made to eliminate in

bulls and heifers wherever possible on
