CARE OF POULTRY.
How TO Obtain satisfactory Results
from the Hens.

To keep up the vitality of q flock
necessary for Il steady supply of eggs
all old rOOSterS must be disposed of
every second year at least. Procure a
new lot from unrelated stock. This is
one of the essentials. When spring
comes and hens grow broOdy, remove
each one to n small house prepared for
Matching. Never leave sitting hens
among the layers. Around the floor of
the Matching shed arrange boxes half
filled with earth and straw, in which
are two or more china eggs. Cover the
hens for a night. or until well settled
again. then exchange the false for fresh
eggs. Keep 4 supply of sheIled corn
continually in this sitting house that
hens may feed at their pleasure and get
back to eggs before they are chilled.
The result IS much more satisfactory.
Also have plenty of fresh water and
oyster shells.
Strong chickens viii usually begin to
hatch on the Goth day, though some will
be a day or two later. Remove when dry
and keep covered in a basket in the
house. If left in the nest the hen be
comes restless and is likely to crush
them. When all are Matched put the
hen with her brood of fluffy beauties
out in a coop, on grass if possible, but
at least separated by a siX-foot poultry
netting from the other yard. In 4 week
let them run at large in their own divi-
sion. Never feed raw corn meal Stops.
1t is deadly. If corn meal must be used

NERVOUSNESS THAT
CAUSED LOSS OF SLEEP.

From the Democrat, Monroe City, No.
Miss Zoe Megown il a daughter of ex-Al-
derman AIegoHn, of Monroe City, No.,
where she was born and raised Her history
was that OF a majority OF noble women. She
married VIM. Slcles, prosperous farmer OF
the place just before the birth of her first
child her trouble began She found her blood
was seriously out of order This was soon
followed by nervousness that caused con-
tlnIIal loss of sleep. She consulted a ply
stefan and he prescribed for her, but instead
OF being benefited she gradually grew worse
In short time she began to grow weak and
had continual heavy. depressed sensation
in the stomach from which she could not

Williams Pink Pills for Pale People so
/ highly that after talking the matter over
Mrs SIcles bought two boxes from the drug
gist, Il. o. Wood. She took them according
! to directions. In short time her color re-
turned and the system was toned up TO its
normal condition. Best of all. however, she
could sleep every night. To-day she is well
with strong, healthy little boy by her side.
The above IS correct IN every respect as may

HINTS FOR FARMERS.

Bounce the lazy hired man.
Every body be kind to everybody else.
Keep the animals warm. It saves
feed.
Continuous cultivation will kill al
most any weed.
Feed plenty of carrots to all stock ii
you have the carrots.
Bounce the hired man who is not will
ing to feed the stock on Sunday.
Push every acre for all il is worth.
That is one way to discount low prices.
Kill the mems that lay no eggs. That
is, have nothing on the farm that does
not pay.
Economic labor on the farm. Lots
of money goes to waste by the hired
man loafing in the shade in summer.
Keep an account with each field on
the farm. charging it and crediting it.
It will be the best thing you ever did.
Use very little corn in summer for
laying hens. Green food may be fed
at any time during the day. One great
fault is overlooking, letting the hens
gorge themselves.
You can cut of the combs of fowls if
you prefer. Use a sharp knife; cut off
both combs and wattles. To prevent
bleeding. first wash the head with
strong alum water and then sprinkle
with powdered ammonia.-Western

CARSON, New, March 1s--After two
years of doubt and vexatious postpone
ments the heavyweight championship
OF the world was decided beyond cavil
when Robebrt Fitzsimmons sent James
j. Corbett helpless to his knees with a
left hand blow under the heart after
one minute and forty-fve seconds in
the fourteenth round of their battle in
the arena here yesterday afternoon
The great contest was won in the
simplest manner and the knockout was
the result of one unwary move on che
part of Corbett- After the first minute
of the fourteenth round had been spent
In a few harmless clinches and counters.
Eitz made fake lead with his right
tor the jaw It was a simple ruse, but
1t caught the Californian mapping.
The fight was clean and speedy. It
demonstrated two facts-that Corbett
Is the cleverest boxer of his weight in
the world, and that Eitzsimmons is
able to hit him The California boy
Emothered the Cornishman with left
tabs in the face and right and left body
blows E'itzsimmons' most effective at
tack was a semi-falxe left swing, fol
lowed with a quick half-arm hook.
The first time he tried il, which was in
the third round, Jim threw back his
head from the fake, coming forward for
a counter when he thought Fits glove
was comfortably past his jaw. Quick

as a flash Bob doubled back and barely
missed Jim's jaw with the hook. Cor
belts smile died away for an instant,
and he took no more chances on coun-
tering that particular form of lead af-
forwards
The battle, as predicted. was fought
on purely scientific and almost new
principles Neither of the men took
any advantage of the privileges al
lowed them under the London prize
ring rules. and there was very little
hitting in cIinches. Corbett made no
attempt to bring around his right in
breaking away, probably because Fitz
held up his elbows too high. Jim's
only effort in the way of a parting
shot was full right uppercut which
he brought around very cIumsily and
failed to land by at least n foot
every time he tried. He did get
In one good uppercut in the fourth
round, splitting BOb's under lip and
starting the blood in a thick stream
Several times the men clinched and
parted with both hands up Ere
quently Bob worked Jim into a corner
and reached for him right and left with
blows that would win any champion
ship battle had they landed. Fitz himself
admits that Ccrbett shuffied and side
stepped his way to safety in a manner
which simply dazed the Australian,

could wear him out, SO kept coming
right along until my opportunity ar
rived. He was weak in the last round,
and all his cleverness could not keep
him out of that left punch under the
heart The only blow which really wor-
ried me was the one which split my
lip. The others never felt He fought
fair, and hereafter he may have my re-
spect if he continues to merit it"
Corbett's version of his own Water
loo did not vary greatly from that of
Fitzsimmons. II made a mistake in
not keeping away. Fitz knew to be
q terrific puncher, but 1 never calcu-
lated on his being able to reach me. II
the sixth round had lasted ten seconds
longer would have landed him to a
certainty. His nose was clogged with
blood and his legs were webbing. The
gong sounded Just as was about to
plug him with my right and end the
battle. He recuperated wonderfully,
