PUZZLES THE UNlNiTIAyED.
Terms Used In Designating the Eiffer-
emit Classes of Pugilists.

CuI SidSSCS VI
Pugilistic titles continue to mystify
those who take an interest in boxing.
Weight is the question which causes
all the argument. Formerly when a
provided that the contestants would
give or take two pounds" as thai was
not considered an undue advantage for
either man. Noadays when two box
ers arrange a match they stipulate
that each shall weigh a certain num-
Der Of pounds at a certain hour, and
the man who exceeds the weight
agreed on usually forfeits a snug sum.
Frequently the man who is at weight
declines to go ON with one who ex-
ceeds the stipulated, and Shylock
never haggled more owe a pound of
flesh than two modern boxers trying to
make a match. At times, when a
boxer thinks he has an easy PROPOSE
ton, he will concede pounds without a
murmur, but when his prospective Op-
ponent is a dangerous man the scales
are scrutinized for unauthorized
ounces.
Some years ago the divisions be-
tween the boxers were marked by the
terms bantam, feather weight, light
weight, welter weight, middle weight
and heavy weight. Heavy weights
were men at 15S pounds or over; mid
die, 142 to 1873; welter, 1873 to 142; light,
122 to 1873; feather, not exceeding 100;
bantams, 1O5 to 115. Those limits are
sists ON sparring at the particular
weight at which he can do his best
work, and the managers scheme to
cur weight conditions calculated to
embarrass an opponent. There are
men who style themselves champions
at nearly every weight from 105 to 15S
pounds. In the heavy weight division
weight cuts no figure, as any man
weighing 1873 pounds or over is in that
class. Fitzsimmons conceded a dozen
pounds to Corbett and the latter gave
that much to Sullivan. Caspar Leon s
claim to the 105-pound championship
Of America is a case in point. Leon
has been twice defeated by Barry, the
Chicago boy, who is undoubtedly the
bantam champion of America. How
ever, "Parson" Davis admits that
Barry cannot box much below 1Os
pounds, although at n time he got
down to 1O2 pounds. Therefore, as
Leon cal get into the ring at 105
pounds and Barry cannot, the former
has a technical claim to the 1O5-pound
championship. At thu same time,
Barry says he will not contest the
point, relying on the more general title
of bantam champion.-New York Tele.

The Coming Farmer.


The man who has worn out his farm
will have his mind somewhat worn.
and it will need oyerhaulinS before
success will be fully reached in reno
waiting the soil. The farmers mind
must be fed first. the food for the mind
is education. When the farmer has a
longing for more knowledge than he
gains each week from these columns,
then we have awakened in him a spirit
of investigation to find out how to re-
store to his soil it's lost crop capacity.
He will begin to invest in stock and he
will become more Of a f1eSh-groWlnS
farmer and seller instead of i grain
seller. Instead Of selling his capital

features the grain into flesh, builds up

are becoming our reading farmers.
They consider as a part Of their equip
men, the knowledge of soils, the value

Ashes with Stable Manure.

1t may seem strange to advise ap-
plying wood ashes unleached to stable
manure just before it is plowed under
Yet this is often a good thing to do.
While exposed t. the air, especially
if che manure be wet so as to leach the
ashes, there will be some loss of am
monia. But 50 fast as the manure and
ashes are turned under, this waste of
ammonia ceases. The ashes cause the
manure to ferment rapidly, and in con-
tact with the soil lone OF the ammonia
will be lost. In fact, much of it will
combine with the potash in the ashes,
forming a nitrate of potash, which is
the most effective known.

of Industry for the Time Being.
The performance of the proverbial
bull in the china shop is well known,
but the other day in ST. Louis one of
the bovine kind got loose on the levee
and before it was finally ~coralled it
severely injured Charles Tanary and
stopped all work at the Belt railway
shops. The animal became detached
from a drove which was being driven
to the National stock yards by way Of
the upper ferry. The cowboys did all
in their power to lasso the steer, but
did not do so. 1t ran down among the
cars and afterward headed for the
Douglas school, where the children
yelled and screamed for assistance. 1t
was then in a fairly open roadway, and
three irst-class drivers with two train
ed dogs attempted to head the animal
off and drive it back to the herd. This
resulted in a chase down the levee
front and all the teamsters pulled out
and gave the steer as much of the road
as it wanted.
In passing the Belt line shops the
animal suddenly darted through an
opening and into the place. Several
men are employed there and consterna-
ton became general at the sudden ap-
pearance of the unwelcome visitor. A
couple of workmen ran at the steer
with bot bars Of iron and soon retreat
ed in the best order possible nader the
circumstances. The steer had absolute
possession of the place for several
minutes and jumped and sported about
as though it was delighted with the
surroundings. A workman finally
jumped down from a window and bold
ly started after the Infatuated beast,
but was caught before he could reach
another place of safety and hurled high
in the air by the steers herns. He was
thrown into such a position, however,
that the beast could not again attack
him. The animal had stopped all work
in the shop, and apparently he was not
yet satisfied with his achievements,
but a minute later, by accident, sue
ceeded in stopping the machinery. In
passing the big fywheel he slipped in
to the pit in which the wheel was re-
volying. His body acted as u brake
and brought all the machinery to a
standstill. The animal was then in a
trap and the drivers and shop workmen
lost no time in securing it with strong
ropes.-Chicago Chronicle,

Ripeniux of G.eam.

In winter cream rises slowly, and
much of it fails to ripen as it should.
The ripening is known by it's turning
slightly acid, without becoming bitter
or in any way ill-f1avored. Not all the
cream should be put INFO the chnrning.
That taken from the pans latest will
not be ripened, and It's butter fats will
all be wasted unless they arg saved by
churning the buttermilk. The loss from
this cause Is much greater in many
small dairies than those operating then
suppose.

rains and other obstacles are to be met,
but there is much work put off until
spring that could be done in winter. In
the spring, as soon as blowing and
planting must be performed, dozens Of
jobs come up to be done in a hurry, and
all seem to need attention at once. 1t
is then that the farmer finds that he
has been neglectful and failed to pre-
pare for spring. Wagons are to iron,
repairs are required for implements,
seed Is to be procured and fertilizer
must be purchased. At the same time
every other farmer is busy and can
render no assistance. while merchants
who have many orders on hand cannot
supply the needed articles promptly.
The way to make the spring operations
easier and save time is to do as much

m Shark.

The creamery shark" is again at
work in New York State. What is a
creamery shark? He looks like a man
on the outside, and he IAN talk like a
photograph. He goes about trying to
interest farmers in building co-opera-
tive creameries. His fayOrite plan is
to interest some prominent citizen
by Offering him a number of shares Of
the stock. Then the two worthless go
about getting farmers to sign a con
tract agreeing to buy a certain num-
Der of shares. The contract usually
calls for an expensive plant, and in the
end the farmers find themselves sad
died with an outfit costing from % to
40 per cent. more than reputable deal
ers would charge for it. The creamery
shark thrives on deception an;1 fraud.
His chief argument is that, by saving
advertising and other expenses, he is
able TO give farmers cheaper rates for
goods handled by old=established firms.
Our advice is never to buy without first
corresponding with manufacturers Of
long standing.-Rural New Yorker.
