capsized, throwing all the occupants

NEARING THE SCRATCH.
How the Fighters Feel Befare the

The fighters are now rounding off
their training in order to get the two
for the final argument. The APPEAL
reporter visited the training quarters
OF Corbett on Sunday. He did not
seem to be doiog the rapid pace box
ing Of which SO much has been said
and written. He was, however, clever
and shiity in his work and landed as
he pleased most Of the time. He was
doing 0 leg work than hand work
and his boxing lacked steam, but he
probably vas not as much 10 earnest
as usual. During the past few days
he has been and not in the
best of temper. All about the Hot
Springs they gay that he is irritable
to a degree and rows with almost
everybody on the slightest provo
cation. This is not regarded as a
good sign by his hackers ana the men
who are now on at the Springs assist
ing in the training begin to wish hat
the fight was OveG, that they may get
some sort of a breathing spell.
Yesterday morning, however, he
was ia much better humUr, and his
associates were much relieved to see
his better spirits returning.
The APPEAL reporter called or Fitz-
simmons yesterday morning. The
traipipr CuartarC ,yara flIo1 with moo
pie, half of whom were ladies, drawn
to the spot by the curiosity that has
taken possession Of everybody in the
last two weeks. Fitz was sparring
with Rober and wound up with Dan
Hickey. He was in the happiest pos
sible mood and full of strength and
animal spirit. 1t looked to the writer
that he allowed his opponent to hit
him when he could have easily pre-
vented it. But then you know the
FitZsimmOns people like the short end
in the pools and have been reaching
carefully for it. There is no reason
either why Fitz should object to
clause 2, for be can fight like a
demon in the break-away, and the
nearer he is to his man the better he
is satisfied.
The fine weather is having a good
effect on both the men, and they are
eager for the call of time
Jnlian feels confident that his man
will win and is preparing for a big
blowout at the training quarters. He
proposes to paint CoJk's ranch red
on that occasion and the champagne
will flow like a sluce course, if the
Australian wins, aud he seems even
confident than Julian. Every
body, in fact, feels that it is a sure
cinch. Mrs. Fltzsimmons has DO
other tip and the baby imbibes the
idea with her mothers milk, aud even
the dog Yarum, has the same conf
dent look as the rest. If FitZ loses
there will be a sad atmosphere about
that camp, an atmosphere so pal
pable that it can be taken with a
k]inetoscope and put on exhibition.
Meanwhile Brady aud his assisl
ants feel just as Julian and his Gro wd
do. They are laying in a supply Of
champagne and have invited their
friends to come and feast ad lib and
without limit. The camps are about
two miles apart but 1t is safe to say
that the noise of revelry on Wednes-
day night can be heard from one end
to the other.

Cane Farming.

Cane tops were at one time used in
Louisiana for seed as in the tropics,
but our climatic conditions necessitat-
ing the saving of seed cane separately
from the manufacturing season has
led to the entire abandonment Of
planting cane tops. As the business
comes closer and the margins narrow,
1t would seem very possible that
we shall again begin planting cane
tops, cutting our canes low in the be-
ginning OF the grinding season, and
mattressing or windrowing the cane
tops in such way that they will keep
until needed. As the industry changes
from planting on its present huge
scale to cane farming, as it surely
will in the early future, a resumption

CURED in its descent this river of ice
rushed across the pasturage and up the
western slope of the valley to height
of 1900 feet along the rocky wall of the
Weissfiugrat. Not being able to COM
pletely surmount this barrier, the main
mass came surging back--like vast
sea-wave recoiling from the cliffs
with such force that some of it re-
turned to height of 100 feet up the
eastern side. Isolated blocks of ice
were hurled clear over the ridge into
the adjoining valley. The avalanche
was preceded by terrific blast of wind,
which swept away chalets, trees, men
and cattle, as though they had been
feathers. These sudden ayalanches OF
ice or snow form one of the special dan

There are not few successful farmers
who decry book farming, and yet in
their practice negative their position.
1t will generally be noted of them
that they absorb readily, but
never give out any information.
With great eagerness they gather up
coral hints and suggestions from their
neighbors and are the closest observers
OF what Is going on on their own farms
and the farms of others. Will the
