BIG FIGHT OF FRIDAY.
Sharkey and JeHries in Active Train
ing-Points Compared.

The great event of general interest to
which lovers of sport are now turning
their attention is the fight between Shar-
key and Jim Jeffries, which takes place in
San Francisco on Friday evening of this
week. The match is to be for IS per cent
of the gross gate receipts. The fighters
share will be divided into proportions of
70 per cent to the winner and rs per cent
to the loser.
Sharkey trained at Valleja until cou
pie of weeks ago, when he shifted camp
to the Seal Rock House near Ocean beach.
Jeffries did his preparatory work at the
Reliance club, Oakland, his old stamping
ground.
The match is regarded as a step to-
ward determining who is to be a new
champion of the world. 1t is considered
on all sides that the bright particular
stars of year ago, Corbett, FftzSimmons
and Peter Maher, have very few days of
usefulness within the ropes left to them
Sharkey and Jeffries are not such finish
ed boxers as the fellows mentioned, but
they are big, strong fellows, and taken all
around, can put up very lively mill

AGRICULTURAL NOTES.

Cultivate the corn before it is up.
Get the implements ready for spring
work
Glover will run out the common
weeds.
Alfalfa is not satisfactory in the mid
die west.
On poor soil sow wheat little thicker
than on good.
Orchard, timothy, blue grass and
clover make good pasture.
Wire fencing is so cheap that there
is no excuse for lack of fences.
Fermenting and heating in the NOW
are what make clover hay dusty.
Black loan earth, in a Cry state. is
just as good an absorbent as plaster.
If the land is level three inches of fine
pulverization of the soil is believed to
be best for conservation of moisture.
There is very general opinion among
corn growers with whom we talk that
we plant too thickly for best results.
Old straw stacks may be spread on
the pastures in spring to advantage. It
is mulch and prevents too close crop
ping.
If cattle are turned On topped dressed
pasture before the grass gets a good
start and before there has been a good
rain, it will be offensive to them

1t may seem strange to advise apply
ing wood ashes unleached to stable ma
nure just before it is plowed under.
Yet this is often a good thing to do.
While exposed to the air, especially if
the manure be wet so as to leach the
ashes, there will be some loss of am
moEia. But so 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 none 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 manure known
