As Long as There is Any Show TO Pail
Off the Match IN America He
Won't Go to England.

Champion James j. Corbett spoke
emphatically and declsively Tuesday
night at Cincinnati in regard to his
proposed fight with Peter Jack on.
He SAID
Il ste that Jackson recently said
that | was afraid to fight him, and
that he would follow me to England,
and either force me TO fight or ruin
my English engagements financially
by bounding and harassing me. This
shows the caIibre of the man and his
decidedly cheap and bluffing manager,
Parson Davies. | have repeatedly
stated that l would no. fight outside
OF this country until it was proved
conclusively that it was impossible to
get the fight off in America"
"The articles signed by Jackson
and myself call for the fight to ;ake
place in America. The fact that |
have said that | would not fight in
England while there was chance 10
fight in America, has given Psr-on
Davies an opportunity to make one OF
his characteristic bluffs. He is now
bristling oyer with fight, because he
knows there is no chance for fight.
AS champion, it is my right to name
the battle ground. | have named
America. Jackson has signed for
America and that ought to settle it.
The man from whom wop the cham
pionship would not fight Jackson or

THE CARE OF THE JERSEY.
PRIZE ESSAY, BY EDWIN F, MOORE.
KIND TREATMENT.

The education and forming of
character and development of the con.
stitution of the COW begins, as does
similar training in the whole animal
family, in fancy, Treat the calf with
kindness feed properly; give access
to plenty of pure water, and shelter
from cold rains and winters storms
Treat the COW with gentleuess al
ways. The jersey COW probably owes
her docility to the fact that in the is.
land whence she came To us, and
where she presumably acquired many
of her valuable characteristics, rhe has
been under the care and training Of
the wives and daughters of the house
hold, thus developing quiet, trusting
disposition. The stockman's average
hired help are not so considerable Of
their charges "a are the wives and
daughters of the dairying peasantry
Nervousness and viciousness are
engendered in the i'll treated COW and
transmitted to her offspring. The
more docile the COW the more are her
energies likely to be devoted to the in
terests OF the dairyman, and the stock :
man can not be too watchful of unreli-
able help, who may beat or otherwise
brighten the COWS or hurry them to or
from the pasture. Likewise, quarrel
ing in the herd is to be avoided as
much as possible
CLEANLINESS.
One very bad feature of average
dairying is carelessness in milking,
more particularly in the winter time
or when the cows are stabbed. More
or less Yileness and offensive dust col
lects upon the udder, and unless re,
moved before making, portion Of II
finds its way into the pail. Part Of il
settles after passing the straiuer, 6
portion is seen floating on the cream
and the whole product is contominat
ed. Frequently, when stables are il
Kept and the mixers careless, there il
decided "of" flavor to the entire
milking. Half the milk that is sent
into our cities will deposit vile sedi
ment after standing.
Let Jersey dairymen, while giving
a richer grade of milk, also supply
cleaner article, and those who care TO
health and decent lividg will give i
the preference even at an increased
price.
1t is urged by many that it is toc
s much trouble to clean the udder, ant
: in many farm households this dirt il
the milk is looked upon aS unavold
I able. 1t is strange that even fastidiou

PURE WATER.

Another matter of Will importance,
and one very frequently neglected, is
the necessity of having pure wa er for
the cows. 1t is very common i'm
preston that Anything in liquid shape
is good enough for stock of all kinds.
Shallow basins are excauated, a natural
depression utilized, where the water
stands exposed to the sun for weeks
and months,propagating disease germs
which, being transmitted by the
agency of the COW, find Judgment in
the consumers physical system.
Thousands of children-yes, and ma
ture consumers also-ln city and
country, die annually from the effects
of milk from COWS obliged to drink wa
ter contaminated with the germs of
disease. Sometimes the disease is
traced to it's source. More often no
effort is made to find the cause, medi-
cine is administered with varying re.
suits, and "the prevalence of typhoid"
or of some other kindred disease is
commented upon as a mysterious
visitation. The drinking water of the
h usehold and the milk supply share
the responsibility as sources of this
class OF ailments; but as people are
much more careful Of their own drink
ing water than of that which they
give their COWS, the evil perhaps more
frequently can be traced to the water
supply of the milk producer. Any
standing water exposed to the rays OF
the sun is dangerous. Give no water
to your cows that you think is not fit
to drink yourself.
Jersey dairymen, you have in its
essential elements the best milk and
butter on earth to offer your customers
See that it il scrupulously clean and
wholesome, end secure trade where
the demand at good prices is greater
than the supply-the custom Of those
who like what is palatable and clean,
and who have regard for the health of
their families.

frosts. higher cables and the bulge in out
side markets. Realizing caused a reaction
from the top figures, but the market closed
firm. Corn closed sc higher, July oats Ac
higher and provisions at a slight decline.
The opening in wheat was excited, with
the buying general and the selling led by
Partridge. The principal cause for the sud-
den change in the course of the market was
the weather, the surprising strength in ca
bles and the bulge in outside markets. The
advance In foreign markets was unex-
pected. and was among the principal fac
tors in creating the advance. After the first
bulge had taken place there was a reac-
ton, caused by holders with a profit and
anxious to secure it. st. Louis and New
York were reported as covering shorts,
and the market firmed UP at the close.
Opening trades were at %91c advance. sold

Oats were active and stronger. especially
for July and September. which advanced
1ad%c and closed steady. These months
were both on orders from the outside, as
the crop is not making progress. The
strength in wheat helped the advance.
Provisions opened quiet and slightly

heaviness set in, values declining moderate.
