SPORTING WORLD

Coy an All Around Athlete. Edward H. Coy, who was recently sleeted field captain of the Yale eleven, is an all around athlete. Besides being the greatest fullback in football today, Coy is a baseball player and a fast track man who has already won intercollegiate mention. He has also shown good form in tennis and golf. Coy played fullback and was captain of his freshman team two years ago aud was varsity fullback last

year, making several of the All American teams. He tied with Bobby Burch for regular captain last winter, and the election had to be delayed for a month for the return of G. R. B. Berger to vote off a tie. Coy was graduated from the Lakeville (Conn.) school, wbere his father was principal

Professional Hookey. John T. McNamara, for several years manager of the champion Port&ge Lake hockey team of Houghton, Mich., Is anxious for a revival of professional hockey. He would like very much to get Duluth and St. Paul-Minneapolis interested, which, he avers, would spell success In large letters for such an organization as it Is proposed to form. On several occasions there has been discussed a league made up of St. Paul or Minneapolis, Duluth, Houghton, Sault Ste. Marie, Detroit and Cleveland, O. Buch a circuit. It is felt, would prove a formidable one and one that w'ould insure hockey becoming one of the leading winter pastimes in the United States.

Longboat May Retire. Rumor has it that Tom Longboat, the Canadian Indian long distance runner, will soon retire from the game. It is said that his physician has advised this course, as his many Marathon runs have weakened his heart to a certain Extent. and it might prove serious if the Indian kept on running the extra long distances. Reports say that Longboat will run only two more Marathons, which are to be held in Canada, and that after this fall be will retire, not necessarily from the cinder path, but from the long road runs. He may continue to compete in three and five mile races. Gophers Lose Chestnut Ed Chestnut, Minnesota's star football end, has bean declared ineligible by the Gopher faculty owing to his failure to pass a recent examination in engineering.

Coach Warner has a new wrinkle for the Carlisle Indians. The entire back field and the ends have brown, full sited footballs woven Into the chests of their jerseys. This helps to keep an opponent guessing who has the ball, which, of course,’ is Warner’s reason for the unique decoration of his men. Yo*t to Coach West Point.

BINTS FOR FARMERS

■■■ Winter Care of Rams. During the winter time if the ram be young he should be kept in a continually improving condition. In case he has matured his body growth the object should be to keep him In a thrifty, normal condition, never feeding heavily of fattening food. Nothing has a Kore injurious effect upon his vitality an to overfeed, getting him too fleshy, and then be forced by scant feeding to reduce him for service. The bulk of his ration should be bright plover hay, bean pods, straw and an occasional feed of corn fodder, nevei (feeding any of the above to excess. We believe it a good plan tof eed one tof each kind of ration at k time and [never enough of any one to cause a {stinted appetite. For grain we feed quite liberally of oats and bran, not gt any time crowding him with fattening grain, such as corn. We have fed enlOage to our rams with entire success, and we believe that for a part ration as a succulent food there Is nothing better. It is a good plan to pick all the corn out before feeding. Much care must be exercised not to feed ensilage so liberally as to cause the bowels to become too loose.—C. L. C. Reynolds fn Ohio Farmer. Feeding Alfalfa o Norses. In a recent Issue of the Breeder’s Gazette of Chicago Joseph E- Wing says of feeding alfalfa to horses: When alfalfa hay is first fed to horses or mules not accustomed to it and fed ih large amounts it sometimes, not always, makes them urinate more freely than is their wont This is nearly always a very temporary effect, and in a short time they eat alfalfa hay with no other noticeable effect than that they are in better flesh than (when eating other forage, work better land feel better. Alfalfa hay for horses or mules should be allowed to get fairly mature' before cut, should be well cured and have no mold on it. The last cutting of alfalfa Is usually too late to make the Ibest horse feed, the coarser crops grown earlier in the season serving better. Neither horses nor mules (should be fed all the alfalfa hay they ■will consume. It is too rich a feed, and they do not need so much of it, {though it is ordinarily fed in limitless 'amounts with no perceptible Injury.

(Better Cows For ths Dairy. The dairyman with the unproductive cow must make room for the better Animal and set himself to work to get [better ones. How shall he do it? If he wants to start in the right path with least waste of time and money, he must breed them. Get a bull of one of the four dairy breeds and stick to 'that breed. A general purpqse breed {may be cheaper at first, but more expensive In the end. A beef bull will [only lead him still further from the straight and narrow dairy path. Milk he must have, and the sooner be yokes up with a good dairy animal the sooner will he get his milk and consequent butter fat. The animal that will supply both beef and bntter fat equally well may exist, but the present outlook is that she* Is too scarce for any 'dairyman to look for with hopes of success.—Hoard’s Dairyman.

Shelter For Live Stock. Every live stock farmer should provide comfortable quarters for his stock before cold weather sets in, says Farmers Advocate. Good ( quarters where live stock can keep dry through the winter storms are necessary. Good Shelter saves feed, and feed necessarily Saves money. Comfortable quarters should not only be provided for the winter months. It is just as necessary for cattle and other live stock to have > cool place for summer as a warm, place for winter. The proper bousing of live stock is a matter which should receive the attention of every farmer, it Is not extravagant to Invest money lln these things; neither is it necessary that the buildings should be of costly material. When animals are kept under conditions favorable to them the pest results are obtainable. Dairy Hint*. “Prevention is better than cure.” It Is better to keep dirt out of the milk {than to strain It out, however carefully done. , Bvery farmer owes It to himself to post himself on the hundreds of things Which go to make dairying a real, genuine business. If the skimmilk and buttermilk are returned to the farm we only remove * or 8 cents manorial value for every ton of milk sold. * . I ▲ Mississippi experiment showed .that calves receiving ten pounds of separator skimmilk made as much gain las those receiving eight pounds new Ths Profitable Hog. ▲ hog raiser and feeder of more than forty-five years’ experience has the Ifollowing to say in regard, to the kind of hogs he has found to be profitable: E» is of the medium type, regardless breed or color. A profitable bog is that has a broad, short bead, short, Straight legs, straight and wide apart, jowls heavy, back broad and arched, straight underline.” This Is the profitable type and denotes a good feeder, one that a man can afford to put in Hme and money with. The First Milk. | The cow's first milk after calving Is called colostrum, and it is necessary that the calf have it. The colostrum contains properties that, purgative in nature, clear the calf’s alimentary canal of materials that otherwise might (cause congestion of the various digestive organs. The first milk is especially adapted to the needs of the young animal
