. Unless the dairyman has had consid: erable experience in breeding, feeding and caring for dairy cows, it is not advisable for him to seart in heavily with expensive, pure-bred animals. Experience teaches that 2 great many - who have been desirous of building up excellent herds of pure-bred dairy cattle have spent fortunes in securing them, only te be disappointed, due to the fact that they have not given them the proper care and attention that animals of such improved nature demand. On the other hand, there have been those who have started in with a small number of pure-bred animals who have made great success, and I - have in mind at this time one breeder who is pérhaps one of the most popular breeders -of dairy cattle in the’ United States, who boasts of the fact that he never bought but one cow. This was a great many years ago. He writes me that he sold in one sale 80 head of cows, calves, etc., which _brought him over $B.OOO, and since :that time he has sold six head of

proper care is taken of these animals calves for $550. The number. of descendants ‘ from the one cow up to 1907 was between six and seven hundred.

and proper attention is paid to the character of the sires used, in the course of twenty years’ time, allowing a ten per cent. death loss in both the cows and the calves, that there is a possibility of the young man’s owning a herd amounting in numbers to nearly 2,000 head. By so building up the pure-bred herd, the dairyman grows with the business and becomes educated in the best methods of caring "for the cows, keeping the records, etc., as the herd increases, and I do not hesitate to say that the best herds which we have in the world today have been built up in this manner rather than by the purchasing of a large, pure-bred herd to begin with. By thus slowly increuasing the herd it fs possible for the breeder to keep close watch of his cows, always knowing which are the profitable ones and which are the unprofitable. It is true that even though the best of cows are used as a foundation and though the greatest of care is used in the selection of sires with which to mate them, there are always more or less disappointments which can only be found by the use of the scales and the Bab_cock test. By weighing each cow’s milk at each milking period and by testing a day’s yleld once a month to determine the percentage of butterfat, it is a very simple matter for the farmer to know at the end of the year how much milk and butter-fat each of hia cows have produced. During the years gone by, it has been common policy for the farmer to sell his good cows and in many instances keep those cows on his farm which were actually not paying for the feed they consumed. He did not do this because it was his desire to do so, but he was not aware that there was so much difference between the different individuals in his herd. Today the wise

farmer and breeder has had it proven to him that thé above method is the only one by which he can accurately determine the true producing value of his cows. In the future the farmer who is paying close attention to his business and deriving from it -the greatest of profits will weigh and test the milk produced by each of his cows, and those animals which are sold as surplus of the herd will be. the Inferfor animals rather than the good ones. x Thus, by continually breeding better animals and saving the best that are produced, it is only a course of a short- time until the dairy herd will be one- of the greatest sources of profif on the farm. One of the great objections to dairy farming in the west at this time as well as one of the reasons why the dairy herds in this country do not produee more largely than they do 4s because the arrangement of the farm is not convenient for the business. We are now undergoing the transition period between grain and

stock farming to stock farming anddairying, and more or less time will be consumed in rearranging the farms and equipment to make them suitable for dairying. : ; . Better Barns. In the first place, it is necessary to have better barns for dairy cattle than are customarily used for beef cattle. The dairy cow is confined to the barn for a large portion of the year and consequently the barn should be well ventilated, well lighted and sanitary in its ccnstruction if a good quality of milk is to be produced in large quantities. Owing to tl%fact that the cow converts her- feed into milk and but-ter-fat rather than /into beef, it is necessary for her to have better shelter because she cannot withstand the cold weather as can the beef steer whose body is at all times covered with a thick ecovering of fat which acts as a protection from the cold. Seven Points Worth Considering. In a barn for dairy cows the following points should be observed as essentials: Convenience, light, heat,

ventilation, sanitation, .confinement of odors and cost. ' From the standpoint of convenience, the cows should face feeding alley ways that are wide enough for both grain and roughage to be taken.to them in the easiest and quickest possible manner. As a rule, it is advisable to have two feed alley ways with the cows facing outward. At the four ends gf these two feeding alley ways should be placed the grainroom, hay chutes and the silos. Light and sunshine are very essential in the dairy barn and they, together with heat, keep the barn dry and make it impossible for germ life and bacteria to grow. Sunshine Is_a better destroyer ot germs and bacteria than any commercial disinfectant. In planning the barn, ghe_architect should provide for window space amounting to six square feet per cow. The dairy barn will be warm enough providing too much air space is not allowed for each cow and providing that it is possible to close the doors and do away with the customary wide cracks that are to be found so often in barns of the west at the present time. If the barn is képt as warm as it should be thorough ventilation is necessary. - Milk Should Be Clean. When. we call to mind -the fact that milk is produced for the purpose of human consumption, we are impressed with the fact that it should be produced by sanitary methods and always kept scrupulously clean and. free from dirt and’' dust particles which are so frequently permitted 'to gain access to the milk. If the barn is properly constructed this is not a difficult matter. The interior of the dairy barn should be as simple as possible and one of the secrets of providing the proper interior of a dairy barn is to have it as free from fix-

tures which will gather dirt and dus! and, in consequence, germs and bac teria, as possible. All floor _surfaces should be of cement because this is not only the most sanitary construction but in the long run it is the cheapest construction as it costs: little more than wood to begin with and lasts for a lifetime. The stalls and partitions should all be made of iron gas pipe, comparatively inexpensive to begin with and, like the cement, once installed it remains for a lifetime, and even though the outside of the barn were to burn down the floor, stalls and stanchions would remain intact. This construction admits very little ‘accumulation of dirt and dust and Is very easily kept clean. In fact, In. most sanitary’barns that are constructed in this manner it is customary at intervals and in many instances every day to scrub the barn from one end to the other. Every portion of the barn should be set off by itself and especially should the cows be kept in their particular portion and all -odor kept away. Poor Butter. It is a fact that the butter produced in the west is poorer in quality than the butter that was produced 15 or 20 years ago, and) this is due largely to the fact that the milk is not cared for In the same manner that the buttermaker in the.creamery in the past cared for the milk before separating it. By keeping the separator cleau and by cooling down the cream or the milk as the case may be, and keeping it cool, it is possible to make even better butter today than ever before because buttermakers as 'a rule are more efficfent and skillful in their operations than in the past. The matter of codt is always to be considered as an essential point in the cohstruction of any of our farm buildings, but the question is ever preva. lent’ whether or not the barn built with the least cost is in the long run the least expensive. It is true that the best barn that can possibly be built should be built at the least cost, and by the use of cement, iron gas pipes for stalls, partitions and stanch. ions, and by the use of the most ecocnomical material for the frame work . and construction, will provide a barn which with time considered ‘will be not only the least expensive but also the most healthful for the cows and conducive to the production of the most sanitary, the purest and the most profitable milk. 'This is because it will be as easy to produce sanitary milk as that which is unsanitary, and it ‘will be produced cheaper because the cows will be in a more healthy condition; and a warm, well ventilated barn will be conducive to the greatest possible flow of milk for the least amount of feed given. Clean Barn 'Lots. Not only should the barn be well arranged but the lots are of equal importance. The barn, by all means, should be built on one of the highest points of the farm so that all moisture will drain in all 'directions and keep the barn lots as well as the interior of the barn free from standing mud and water at all times. There is very seldom a farm so arranged that there are enough lots to divide the stock up in a manner in which they should be divided, and too often do we find cows, calves, heifers, pigs, etc, all running together in one lot, and such an arrangement is always the cause of more or less loss due to one cause and another. Lots should be provided for cows and heifers of different ages. for the calves, the bulls, for dry cows, etc., and a few lots constructed in the beginning, a few paddocks which in summer time will grow luxuriant grasses, will make it possible to give certain animals particular attention and will

result in success in more ways than one. Cows during a period when giving the greatest amount of milk, if placed under special conditions, may oftentimmes be made to give a great deal more milk than though they received only common care, and suffice it is to say that even though around the dairy barn there are to be found a dozen lots, the feeder, herdsman or farmer will find from experience that each of them can be put to use during most every day in the year. Nothing f{s more disgusting or will drive one away from the farm quicker than barn lots that are knee deep with mud and filth, especially when it is realized that such lots are unnecessary and by being drained- and covered with cinders or gravel wkich incurs a very small amount of time and expense, they could be kept perfectly dry and sanitary. : :

GOTCH TO FIGHT JACK JOHNSON? NEVER! Report That Champion W—restler Will Turn Pugilist and B'ecome the “White Man’s Hope,” Is Only an Advertising Scheme : —Trouble Again Threatened in the National League.

By KNOCKOUT. : Do you remember reading in this paper along about the time the JeffriesJohnson match was made that there was a plan to have Frank Gotch, the world’s champion wrestler, turn pugilist and fight Jack Johnson, if the big boilermaker failed to win? Well, it was printed W nether, you read it or not, and now the scheme has been sprung. Let me say right at the start off that Frauk (fatch never will be seen in ‘the ring with Jack Johnson. Gotch is too smart. In fact he’s about the smartest athlete in. the country, if not the worid = Gotch is strong, Gotch is game and asa wrestler has no peer. But there's all the difference in the world petween wrestling and fighting, and a different set of muscles entirely is developed in the two games. _ , Jim Corbett, acording to report, was going to give several months of his valuable time to teaching Gotch the fine pcints of the fighting game to niake of the wrestler “the whité man’s hope,” a position Jeffrics held until July 4. Uocrbett is in the show business. Gotch has been on the. stage and probatbly will be again next winter. That's the answer, dear reader. Both know the value of getting their names in print in connection with such a story. No, Frank Gotch never will fight Johnson and if he does he’s too smast to have any old has beens teaching him the business. It would be Goich for Tommy Rvan or Billy Delaney. Corbett wouldn't do.

As I predictea last week, Tommy Ryan has come out with the declaratlon,' that he intendeg to prime his protege, Con O’Kelly, to fight Johnson. Foxy Tommy say® he can make O’Kelly into a scrapper iu a year, and will then challenge .Johnson for the championship. About a!l the Harp has now is size, but he'll know how to fight when Ryan gets through with him. They all do. But will he be able to whip Johnson? It's" a safe guess thé odds would be five to one on Johnson should the pair be matched at the end of a year. Fighters are not made that guickly. They must have plenty of hard knocks and they don't get them in a gyninasiym. It is brobable that at the end of a year there’ll be Do place in the United States where a championship fight can be pulled off anyway. Jt's remarkable how' this agitation against the showing of ' the moving pictures of the Reno battle has grown, Maj. Dick Sylvester, superintendent of police in Washington, started it the day after the battle, when, because of 8 riot between blacks and whites in the national capital, he -saié he would not permit the pictures to be shown because of the anti-negro feeling engendered there. . Other cities picked it up and the movement grew into such proportions that the men who bought the right to show the pictures and exhibit them grew alarmed and decided not to show them just yet. It is understood that Jeffries received $66,000, Johnson $50,000 and Rickard $50,000 or $60,000 for their share in the pictures, which, in addition to the expense of taking and staging them, probably nieant an outlay of $200,000. No wounder the promoters were alarmed by the movement started in Washington. They expected to clean up a million dollars. With many big cities closed against them, they’ll do well to get their money back. Which means the prize fight game in this country is on its last legs. = The Johnson-Little quarrel and counter charges of faking between them has added another blow, and it's safe to bet that .Johnson will ‘have to go to England or Australia if he wants to fight again.

X N Are bonuses to pitehers for winning a certain nuinber of games a good thing for baseball? This question is as much in mind this summer as ever. Several big league club own=fs hxva offered thelr star twirlers

sums of money providing they win thirty or more games. When George Mullin had so much difficulty in pulling down his prizc for winnirg twenty-five games last season the Detroit management gave it out that no more bonuses would be offered, as it appeared to handicap this cléver twirler to a great 'extent as he neared his goal. At the first glance the offer appears generous enough. When we think of the great number of games in a league scheduie It seems easy ennugh for a. pitcher to win the required number, but it isn’t. €hase back through the records of the National league and see how many pitchers have won thirty games. Joe McGinnity won just thirty for Brooklyn in 1900.. Not until 1903 did another pitcher reach the mark. That year Joe copped thirtyane vietories, :and Christy Mathewson reached the mystic number. The following year the great “Iron Man” won thirty-five to Christy’s thirtythree games. ‘ In 1905 Mathewson wag the only twirler to pass the mark, winning thirty-one battles. -The nest year brought not a single thirty victory pitcher, but in 1908 Christy came to the fore ‘again with thirty-seven vietories. Last yvear Mordeeai Brown led all with twenty-seven victories. The story of the American leagun twirlers is similar. Cy Young marched in victorious thirty-one times in 1901, representing the Boston club. The next season he added one to his string, making it thirty-two victories. He led all his league's slab performers in 1903, but won only twenty-cight games.

* Jack Chesbro was the shining light of 1904, his greatest year in baseball. He brought home the bacon forty-one times for the Highlanders, establishing a record for wins in-a single season under modern cconditions. Bill Bernhard; of the Naps, came within one game of landing inside the Murphy limit. : . Until Ed Walsh's great year in 1908, when he won forty games and lost but fifteen, the American league had but one pitcher with forty victories to his credit. Last year George Mullin, of the Tigers, won twentynine games and led all Lis competitors. :

About the time the baseball season closes you’'ll hear more talk about troubles In the National league. From all accounts the official life of Thomas J. Lynch, the president of the organization, is by no means a bed of roses. There’s dissatisfiaction among the magnates and it is probable that Mr. Lynch will not be re-elecied without a fight. The faction that wanted to make John M. Ward president last winter is said to, be still in favor of putting him at the head of the league. Mr. Lynch didn’t add to his popularity. when he stopped the newspaper protographers taking pictures of the pla?e‘rs while the game is going on. Jennings After Star Twirlers. Hughie . Jennings, manager of the Detroit Tigers, needs good pitchers badly. He is said to have made offers for Walter Johnson of the Nationals and Frank Smith of the Chicago White Sox. If these reporis are true Hughie certainly isn't modest in his wishes. Comiskey might trade Smith for Ty Cobb and Tom Noyes might let Johnson go for a barrel or two of coin. 'Mis said Detroit offered Washington $50,000 for the battery, Johnson and Street. President Navin says it isn’t true. Maybe that settles it and maybe it doesn’t. Catcher Beckendorf of Detroit has been sold to Washington. Lo Wiil Jones Ever Come Back? I'ielder Jones, manager of the Whita Sox team in 1906, has severed his connection' with the Chehalis, Wash. team and may not be able to res's( the vearning to join the Chicaga ream
