For it is only One-third of century
since John G. Heenan fought Tom Say
crs. and if any trainer were to advo-
cate now the methods that were used
to prepare the "Benicia Boy" for the
great international battle he would be
laughed at by every sporting man on
both sides Of the water.
The aim Of the modern boxer is to ac-
quire agility, wind and staying power,
while the aim Of the older school was
primarily to pile up muscle and make a
man strong even at the risk Of sacli-
ticing that all-important qualificatio
for fighter, namely, quickness.
Old Methods of Training.
How many trainers of the present day
would send Il man out for ten-mlle
run before breakfast? How many
would permit him to use fifty-pound
weights, to punch the bag" and who
would think of putting five-pound
weights in a pair of training shoes to be
used by a man whose success was to de-
pend Oh his catlike movements and sup
pleness?
And yet all these things were done
and approved in the case of Heenan,
us is shown by this description of his
work as told in the weekly letters to
Frank Leslie's paper just before the
great battle:
''''The Benicia Boy the correspondent

Watson, Of Cornell University Agricul-
tural Experiment station in New York,
is as follows:
A. Ensilage fed with hay to lambs
gave equally as good results as where
all hay had been fed, and the ensilage
had tho advantage of being the cheaper
food! Four pounds Of ensilage is equiv
alent to one pound of hay.
Lambs fed on ensilage drank less
water than lambs fed wholly on dry
I food but the lambs fed ensilage con-
sumed more water in the food and the

Diseases From Pigeons.

will alight in yards when not desired
They are liable to carry disease from
one yard to another, even on their feet
and, as they are subject to many of the
diseases that affect fowls, and particu-
larly roup, they are nuisance in any
community. They will also Introduce
lice from a distance. If one wishes to
keep pigeons he should do so by keep
ing them confined in wire yards, COW

disease in all the hocks. There should
be some protection for those who do
not wish pigeons in their yards

The Sting of a Dec

4 The sting of a bee is composed Of two
spears of polished horn held in a sheath.
One gets q notion Of the sharpness of
the weapon by a very simple compari-
son. The edge of q very keen razor,
when examined under q good micro
scope, appears as broad as the back OF
a thisk knife, rough, uneven and full Of
notches. An exceedingly small and del
icate needle similarly scrutenized re-
sembles a rough bar from a smiths
forge. The sting of bee viewed
through the same instrument, shows a
flawless polish, without the least blem-
ish or inequality, ending in point too
fine to be discerned. In the act Of sting
ing, the spears, each Of which has nine
barbs and is grooved with channel
for the passage Of the poison, emerge
from the sheath. One of them is plung-
ed into the flesh of the victim, the other
following, and alternately they pene-
trate deeper and deeper. The venom is
forced to the ends of the spears by
much the same process as that which
carries the poison from the tooth of q
snake when it bites.
Destroying Weeds.
Every season the question is agitated
concerning the destruction Of noxious
weeds. Poison ivy, dock, Canada this
tie and dandelions are the subjects Of
varied inquiries. Intelligent garden
ers know that no plant can live long
without leaves, and Meehan tells the
readers of his Monthly if plant is cut
off to the ground scCn after making
leaves in the spring it is generally de-
stroyed at once. But sometimes anoth-
CT or second growth will appear of
a mere or less weak character, and if
this is again cut the plant will surely
die. Nothing is easier than to destroy
these weeds when this principle is kept
in mind. The writer of this paragraph
has known whole half acre of Can
ada thistles eradicated by having a
boy cut them beneath the ground with
a knife early in the spring. Very few
shot up leaves the second time, but
these were again cut as soon as per-
ceiycd, and the result was to eventual
~ destroy every plant. 1t did not cost
$40 to do it,
