The wildness of the Irjsh hurlers was responsible for the numerous runs and the support given them was far from being of High quality. If yon cotrM only tarre seen and heard th« Irish fights at Soldiers Field last Thursday night! The micks tvere about seventy-five per cent of the crowd and how they did enjoy "themselves.

JOHNSBURG HANDED FOURTH DEFEAT Johnsburg suffered their fotorth defeat by a score of 11-6. It was a loosely played game with plenty of hits and errors. Johnsburg started out* the first inning with two runs in the first, followed by one in the second and tvvo more runs m the third. Their sixth run came in the fifth. Cary failed to tally until the third when they managed to bunch- three hits for two runs. In the fourth they tallied one run followed by one in the fifth. In the sixth Cary failed to score.

Freund replaced Schaefer and held Cary# hitless the remaining inning and a half. Schaefer struck out four and allowed sixteen hits. Storm, the Cary pitcher, allowed ten hits and struck out eleven. Next Sunday Johnsburg plays Zenda at Johnsburg.

He set a new record for local perfonwances by whiffing seven in a row in\\he third, fourth and fifth inrings Dot wrenched his knee in an effort to prolong the streak and had to be content with blanking them. For five innings R. Miller was a first rate pitcher, holding the Locals to three hits while his mates gathered four but he gave up one run in the fourth to give the Locals a onerun advantage.

High Prices Commanded by Recorded Animals. / Because hi% cow-testing records showed exactly how much his cows were producing, ajid because he knew the history of his herd, Arthur Lowes, young Sedgwick county dairyman, was able to "command exceptional prices for his Ayrshires at a recent auction sale. • 'v.,-;' ;" • > Although many "feared he would be able to get only $50 or so a head for his dairy stock, 9 of his purebred cows brought 1040, his grade cows averaged praetfcally $S0 each, one purebred" - cow brought $140, and one of the grade cows sold for $98! Prices like these under present conditions are "paid Only when buyers are able to know exactly what they are getting for their money, it is emphasized by C. A.* Smith, extension dairyman "for the Colorado Agricultural college, and George K. MeCrimmon, Sedgwick county, agricultural extension agent. !~ "Cow-testing records kept by a disinterested painty, and checked for accuracy by the Colorado Agricultural college, take the gambling out of the purchase of testtM^imiry cows," says Smith. "Such records telj what a cowls worth. Without a production record a buyer is taking a ch&nce." Much Depends on Cow's Health at Calving Time One of our subscribers writes In to say .that he Is having difficulty In keeping his best cows in good flesh. He is feeding a well-balanced ration In what would seem to be adequate amounts. He cites a Jersey cow giving 45 pounds of milk daily on silage and legume hay to the limit of appetite and on grain fed at a rate of one pound for two and one-half pounds milk produced. This cow Is getting unsatisfactorily thin In flesh. Our Inquirer does not tell us what condition she was In when she freshened. In the feeding management of dairy cows, and more particularly high-producing cows. It Is Important that they be in good condition at calving time--that they have been given opportunity to regain any body depletions occasioned by the last previous lactation. When this is done It is much less difficult to keep good cows in satisfactory condition during the time of greatest need for nutrients In the following lactation, -r- Hoard's Dairyman.';' Water for Cows The amount of water which a cow fhonld get during the winter Is hard to figure definitely. The best estimate provides five gallons of water for each gallon ofTftilk produced. If the stable is cold and upcomfortable one may have difficulty In getting the cows to take this much water. On the other hand It often happens that the supply of Vater available is limited. There is no direct proof as to how low the water consumption can get before it will tell on production. Furthermore It stands to reason that low producing cows will need relatively more water than cows of high production. By taking the chill off It, a cow may be Induced to increase her consumption of water. ..
