With the beef cow the question of the proper typo to cross to bo mndo also enters. Also I believe that a cow mny not produce- her best calves whileyoung. . Next come the bulls.

Few breeds of domestic animals have been transferred from tholr native land to this country under auspices so favorable. The earlier Importations were made by these who , having tin excellent knowl edge of Aberdeen Angus merit , had also the business acumen and cap ital to obtain animals o highest quality. The great popularity of the breed Is a credit to the Scotch breeders who developed It. Indeed , loss than 100 years ago the Aber deen Angus as such , with the pe culiarities now cc i."ldercd charac teristic , was not In existence. It la but llttlo inoro than X quarter of a century slnco the first Importation of Aberdeen Angus cattle reached America.

Wo put the bulls on feed after taken from pasture to got them up In shape , and , whllo they are thinner than when they went on the pasture , the good feeder very soon gets back in shape. The ono has made more than twice the gain that the other hns this fall. Every farm should have a small Lord of bcof cattle to eat up the rough- nge , or what may bo called waste of the farm. If they are the proper in dividuals pure bred , carefully select ed , and given reasonable treatment they will make n profit out of waste nnd help solve two other problems- high cost of living and fertility main tenance. Sunburned Hog * . The high temperature of summer will cause trouble in many herds of hogs. In the case of white hogs there Is likely to be a great deal of blister ing , but even with hogs of other colors tboro will be more or less sunburnlng. There- should bo no delay , therefore , In putting the hogs through the dip ping vat or In giving them a good wetting with a sprinkling can or spray pump. Any of the commercial coal tor dips are ideally adapted to this purpose , and n few gallons used on a bunch of hogs during the sum mer season will contribute Immense ly to the economy of gain in these cases where the sUln from any cause whatever gets out of condition. In real warm weather it will pay and pay well to round up the young pigs every ten days or two weeks and give them a thorough wetting. Feed the Milkmakor. Don't stop feeding the dairy cows just because they can gorge them selves on green grass. Furnish them with a llttlo grain and roughage right along through the entire summer and consider that It enriches the milk flow , keeps the animals In firmer flesh and saves pasturage. Feed Grain to the Calf. Don't attempt to raise the calf on eklmmllk alone , but get it to eating small grain and clean clover or alfalfa Just as soon as possible to help supply something to take the place of the cream that has been extracted from the milk it drinks. Water For the Cow. Water Is u necessary constituent of milk , and tlio cow must have It during the time It Is being manufactured. The best plan Is to have a supply where she can have access to It nt all times. A BATTLE IN COLOMBIA. Peruvians Said to Have Defeated Co. lomblano With Big Losse. Guayaquil , Aug. 5.

D. , of Howells , Neb. , says : "These sermons are simple , solid , practical and are all comparatively short They are pointedly applicable to the needs of dally life , sympathetic with human sorrows , stimulative of hope and joy , no less than of penance for sin. They are devout In spirit , useful , practical , abounding In illustrations , with a wise choice of scripture quotations , and the solid substance of Lutheran doctrinal Instruction. These sermons have been long thought over and really preached , and they seem to enhnle that Luther an spirit of calm , sober spirituality. It is to be hoped that the book will re ceive as wide a distribution as it de serves. " Among the -day's out-of-town visit ors In Norfolk were : Ed Fricke , Madi son ; A.

A local livery stable was visited yesterday by several of these men whose game is usually to approach the proprietor with some of the following questions : "What size shoe you wear ? " The information is given nnd the strangers leave , only to return from the direction of the stock yards with clothing wrapped in old newspaper.

Hamilton , who declined to start on account of unfavorable air condition. The aeroplanes rose from Governors Island and first flew over Manhattan as far north as Thirty-third street , then turning southwest for Philadel phia. "It was the utmost duty of the ad ministration , " ho read , "to prevent by all means the spread of the panic of 1907 before it became a disaster. " The secretary of the treasurer and himself , he said , were constantly In touch with the situation. During that time ho learned that two members of the United States Steel corporation wished to sco him ono morning. At breakfast next day he was informed that Judge Gary and H. C. Frlck were - waiting to see him. Mr. Bonaparte , . then attorney general , ho continued , had not yet arrived from Baltimore. "I sent a note to Secretary Root to como over , " the former president read , "and he arrived at the white house. " The conference was brief , Mr. Roosevelt velt explained , and later ho wrote a note to Mr. Bonaparte stating all the facts of the conference. He then read to the' committee the letter afterwards published In the sen ate record of the hearing of the Ten nessee Coal and Iron case In 1908. The letter set forth how Mr. Frlck and Mr. Gary liad submitted the prop osition for the sale of tlio Tennessee company nnd how ho expressed the thought that ho did not wish to stand in the way of saving a financial panic. The trouble. Mr. Roosevelt said , had not been mentioned. Mr. Roosevelt then went on to read his statement , going Into details about the serious financial conditions In Now York and told how ho had taken the responsibility to permit the trans fer of the steel company and did It on his own Initiative. "It was necessary for mo to act at once , " said the fernier president , "to act nt once , before the stock exchange opened , or the transaction might provo useless. " Ho said ho was satisfied that tic- qulromont by the steel corporation of the Tennessee Coal and Iron company did not clmngo the legal status of the corporation. "Furthermore , 1 believed It would bo for the public good , " continued Mr. Hoosovelt. "I answered Messrs. Gary nnd Frlck that If matters wore In such a state , I , did not want to stand In the way and . the results proved that the act was a , good one , because the panic was stop ped. " Mr. Hoosovolt said that ho had I learned that the action was of great I , benefit to the people of the Birming ham district. "I should have proved an unworthy public officer if I had not done as I did. " Col. Roosevelt concluded his testi mony at 12:30 : , received tlio thanks of the committee and expressed his satis faction that as "a plain American cit izen" ho had been able to assist the committee.

C. B. Cabaniss , the Nor- j folk Commercial club delegate , has | been busy day and night distributing ; advertising matter in regard to the city of Norfolk , where it would do the most good. At Chicago , Detroit , Ni agara Falls , Buffalo , Rochester , Clay ton , N. Y. , and Montreal copies of the Norfolk booklet nnd Carlson's speech pamphlet were left at the public li braries and at all principal hotels. The Norfolk buttons wore thrown around and pinned on nearly every- | i body met. One morning Mr. Cabaniss ' hired a taxlcab and made all Boston I ' hotels , distributing more booklets and ' buttons. He also took booklets to the Boston public libraries. At a big public mass meeting Mr. Cabaniss made arrangements to have ' a copy of both booklets put on every , seat In the auditorium before the J , doors were opened for the meeting , j j And these booklets were nil eagerly read. read.All All the Boston newspapers are printIng - Ing on the front page each day a list of the delegations attending the con vention and the hotels at which they ' may be found.

Dammed the Music. Dr. W. U. Blanokc , who .manages tlio Rock River assembly each year , had some experience with the small boy of Dlxon , 111. During a concert of j Ciriclllo's band some mischievous boys in the front row of seats tossed n wad of paper into the big horn played by Snlvator Mcrtana. Salvator nearly burst himself be fore ho discovered what was the mat ter with his horn. Then lie created more Italian discord , both on and off the stage , than tias T > een heard at the ossembly for years. All efforts failed to remove the paper , although Salva- tor's gestures and language ought to have moved anything. Small boys have been relegated to the rear of the auditorium and when the band appears again the big horn will be covered with a screen. Salvator Martana will appear on the Norfolk chautauqua platform this sea son. He will be seen with Ciriclllo's band here. Pierce Drops Fast Game. Norfolk 2 ; Pierce 1.

Pierce had a fine lineup of players and had drafted several of the best men from other teams for this game. The visitors succeeded in holding down the locals to a shut-out until the last of the eighth inning , when Bovce's shoots were located by the local batters. In this Inning Wynkoop , a new Nor folk player who had been struck out once and flew out another time , gave notice that he intended to hit. He missed the first ball and then three- sacked to a tune of roars from the throats of hundreds of fans. Wagner brought Wynkoop home with n pretty safe hit. This play brought out more wild cheering from the throng and tied the score 1 and 1. Dudgeon was next up and his sacrifice advanced Wagner to second. Krahn , who purchased a bat especially for this occasion , won the game for his team with this wagon tongue. Ho two-bagged and brought Wagner home nnd the fans yelled themselves hoarse. Krahn's Fourth Hit. This was Krahn's fourth safe hit out of four times up. Ho had two two- baggers and two singles on his belt as ho endeavored to steal third , but Tift caught him out to Hughes.

Clouds covering the sun and a cool breeze blowing over the driving park track Friday afternoon , gave much comfort to the thousand race and ball fans who saw the last of the season's races and ball tournament. The track was not in the best of condition to enable fast races , but was much Im proved over the day befoie. Two races were run the 2:25 : trot ( purse $300) ) won by Baron Howies in 'three ' straight heats with , the best time at 2:2GV1 : ; and the1' 2:1U : pace ( puiso $ ; ! 00) ) , won by Speed On In tlireo straight heats with a time ol 2:1G : % . Speed On was driven by II J. McKenna of O'Neill , who drove the two winners of the llrst day's racosS Tlio ciowd was about half divided be tween the ball game and races. Both races were featureless ns fai as the wlnnora were concerned. The money tnUers seemingly hadj the ad vantage all the way ihrough. A little break in the monotonous stai tor's gong in the judge's stand was experienced when Austin , driving Bon nie B , the winner of third money in the race , declared that Beezley , driv ing Captain Dawson , was fouling him and that he was not driving an "on the square" race. Field Judge C. S. Smith reported at the judges' stand that he saw nothing wrong and the argument was ended. The trotters also had their com plaints to make , but these "kicks' came from those trying for second or third place. Coates , driving Dean R declared that Victor J was running and referred the judges to the book ol rules. Knowles "came back" with a report that Dean R had broken on several occasions and the judges drop ped the matter. The races go to O'Neill with prac tically the same string of horses seen here. The O'Neill races will be run Wednesday , Thursday and Friday of next week.
