A match race for the largest purse

from Australia, where he broke all the

contest will take place on the Charles
River park track in Boston, and will
be for purse of $4,000 put up by the
management, and a side bet of $3.50,
making $4,000 in all. The event will
be paced with multicycles, and the dis
lance will be set at 33 miles, in order
that the hour record of the world,
which now stands at 32A miles, made by
j. w. Stocks in England recently. may
be broken. Unless some accident oc-
ours it is confidently expected that
the American record of 81 miles 1890
yards, held by Michael. will be beaten,
since both contestants are recognized
leaders ut middle distance work be-
hind big machines. The date for the
match has not been settled, but will
probably be set for some time in early
August, as Lesna pronounced Lenna)
needs some weeks for training and
conditioning after nearly two months
of travelling.
Lesna cannot speak a word of Eng

ing manager of the Gladiator company
Of Paris, talks very entertainingly of
their experiences in Australia. which
country neither of them likes very
much. Management of racing league

racing men are not treated with much
courtesy. M. Pognon considers Les

tin, the American; Megson, the Aus
tralian champions; Green, of England,

was the defeat of picked team chang

agents of the State, "and they are now
paying off alta very rapid rate. Az things are

cially the farmers, will soon be well out of
debt: The large crops of the last few years,
coupled with the close times, have had the
effect OF giving the people an appetite for
getting out of debt, and fortunately has alse
given them the ability to do So"
Another agent who represents loan com.

without Ii Poultry Raising Cannot
BE Made n Success.
Too much work and no pay discour-
ages all who look forward for the best
results, and it is safe to claim that
great many persons who keep large
fiocks do more work than they should
be compelled to perform; not that work
should be avoided, for only work will
enable the poultryman to derive Q
profit, but there is no reason why such
work should be drudgery, or become
so disagreeable that one should dread
to do the duties assigned. No matter
what the work may be, if one has sew
eral hundred hens, and gives his whole
attention to business poultry, a regu-
lar routine can be followed; but for q
small flock of not over 90 hens it does
not pay to spend several hours in the
poultry house. 1t is just such duties
that have disguised many, and only
those who keep fowls for pleasure and
have plenty of time to spare can afford
to lose the time devoted to small lot
of hens. But much of the work is
made; that is, more work must be done
because it is not done right. The clean
ing of the poultry house is job which
no one enjoys. To go into poultry
house on cold day and pick and scrape
the droppings, inhaling the dust and
getting dirt on the feet and dust on the
clothes, is more than should be done
unless the hens are returning a fair
compensation therefor in eggs. 1t ali
depends upon what the attendant does
and how he cleans the poultry house.
One who understands his business will
clean the house with broom, and use
nothing else. First the house is
thoroughly cleaned and busted; then
dry dirt is sprinkled under the roost
on the floor. On this are placed leaves
or cut straw. Instead of cleaning the
poultry house once week this work is
done daily. With the broom the walls,
roosts, tops and nest boxes and floor
are swept, the refuse removed and more
dirt and clean litter added, which will
require less than ten minutes for an
ordinary poultry house, thus also CIV
ing the fowls clean, dry quarters and
assisting to ward off disease. The same
in feeding: first learn, by feeding, how
much the fowls should have, and scat
ter the grain in clean litter and the
work is done. Have place ION the
manure heap is best) for the refuse
litter, so as to be able to dispose of it
handily. Fowls kept in this manner
will lay, and to clean the poultry house
daily will be less difficult than to wait
until large amount of filth accumu-
lates to invite disease.-Farm and Fire.

To unload, fasten the ropes to a beam,
and with the team draw the wagon
slowly out from under the load. The
first time may not always prove sue
cessful, but with little practice the
wagon may be unloaded in few min
utes.
The ropes should be so laid that they
will not catch to anything. The fod-
der must be placed evenly on either
side and the distance apart of the ropes
Is to be determined by practice. In un-
loading, if the fodder is heavy, the front
end of the rack must be tied to the wag-
on or the hind end placed almost di-
rectly over the hind wheels, as the
weight of the fodder is liable to tip up
the rack. In tying the ropes to the
beam or post, do it high enough to pre-
vent the drawing downward upon the
fodder. They should be of equal length,
which may be regulated by one man
drawing down on one or the other while
unloading, as he finds it necessary. The
team must be driven slowly. 1t is best
to practice a few times on quite small
loads and notice the effect upon diff
ferent ways of loading and the place the
fodder is to drop, by loosening or tight
ening the rope.-Farm and Home.

STORAGE OF GRAIN.
Care Must BE Taken to Insure It's
Keeping in Good Condition.

Care Must be Taken to Insure It's
Keeping in Good Condition.
On the average farm it is nearly al
ways necessary to store more or less
grain. Oats for seed and feeding, wheat
for seed and exchange at the mill for
-four, as well as to market. Wheat is
cash crop and can be turned into
money at any time; it is often as good
plan to store the wheat in the granary
and sell as the money is needed as to sell
direct from the machine, when the
threshing is done, and then put the
money in the bank.
But it is essential when grain of any
kind is to be stored away that pains be
taken to store in such way as will in
sure it's keeping in a good condition.
This granary should be clean, well-ven-
tilated and as nearly vermin-proof as
possible. A separate building will gen
orally supply these conditions more
fully than any other.
If new granary is to be built, the
work should foe done in good season, so
as to be sure to have it ready when the
threshing is done, as there is always
more or less loss every time that small
grain is handled, and it is quite an item
to handle it as little as possible.
The granary should be built with the
floor well up from the ground, set on
pillars; put inverted pans or sheets of
iron over each post to keep out rats and
mice; have good, solid floor and be
sure that it is tight. Have good ventila-
ton at the top. The size must, of
course, depend on the quantity of grain
to be stored, but it is best to have plen-
ty of room, so that in case it is necessary
to store damp grain there will be room
to stir it about. ..
With an old granary thorough clean
ing out should be given, and it will be
better if the inside is thoroughly white
washed, using good lime wash into
which a small quantity of carbolic acid
or copperas has been stirred.
1t is hardly good economy to start a
crop in such way or under such con-
ditions that it will not be reasonably
sure of keeping in good condition.
There is always some loss in storing
grain; it is quite an item to make this
as small as possible.-St. Louis Repub-

July over the best field of crackajacks
that has faced the starter at any race
meet this year seems not to have sur
prised any of the well-posted racing en-
thusiasts very much. They are well
aware that the Chicago lad had the re-
quisite speed TO beat the best man Of
the track, but assert that he lacks the
heart to run a hotly-contested race.
He would rather tack into somebody's
rear wheel and finish second than go
out and fight for first. He is beautiful
rider and can follow the fastest pace in
American paced records. but his
friends are anxious to see him win
| competitive races, and believe that by
the exercise of determination and
courage he will soon attain the high POI
sition his speed entities him to occupy.
In the national circuit meet, under the
| auspices of the Chicago cycling club,
Gardiner defeated Bald Cooper and
Kiser, upon whom all eyes have been
y
| and L. ID. Cabanne in the mile open race,
and won the two-mile handicap from

Weinig, Tracy Holmes, FL. b. Wood and

ran second to Cooper, with Bald third
no mean performance.
Earl Peabody, of the Chicago Cycling
club, has won proud title of amateur

servatism, have always insisted that
thoroughly good bicycle was worth the
500 price and have rigidly maintained
that figure regardless of the price cut
ting that has been INDUCED in by other
makers. The announcement was Dig
surprise to the trade, for, although
many manufacturers and dealers
thought this concern would lower its
prices at the beginning of the present
season, it was generally supposed that
after the prices had been upheld for
more than half the season no cut would
be made until next year. The move,
therefore, which is a very radical one
for this company, which has for many
years held the reputation of being the
dictator in the bicycle business, has
set all the other makers to guessing
and wondering what may be the cause
of the reduction. Some assert that the
Interchangeable bicycles at popular
prices have made great inroads in this
concerns business and that with
large stock of unstable high-grade
machines on hand this late in the sea-
son the management had become

as last resort. Others prophesy that
the concern has perfected chainless
bicycle model which will be manufac-
tured in large numbers and pushed
next season as leader at 500.
Whatever the cause of the reduction
may be, it will probably have u some
what demoralizing effect on the trade
this summer, although most of the
large makers assert positively that
they will make no attempt to meet the
cut this year. 1t will have the effect,
however, of driving q number of the
small and weaker concerns out of the
business and thus leave it on a firmer
basis, and will also end the inflated
price evil, for with the very best makes
selling at $75 there will be no excuse
for building bicycles to list at 500 and
sell for what can be got for them. The
purchaser has long been aware of the
fact that the average bicycle listed at
$500 could be bought for almost any
price above so per cent. of its list price.
Nevertheless. he will welcome the time
when all bicycles sell for just what they
are worth and retail at one price to all.

In cutting ensilage or fodder, little
work transferred from hand to horse
power often goes great way to lessen
expense. A simple method is shown be-
low of unloading fodder or hay. Two
ropes about SO feet long, depending on
the length of the rack and height of
load to be drawn, are used, one end of
each being fastened to the hind axle of
the wagon. They are then passed back
and over the top of the rack between
the two outside boards on either side.
While loading, the ropes may be
brought back under the outside of the
rack and fastened almost any place
