SIX MILLIONS CASH LOSS

New York, Dec. S.-Nearly every stock
in the list declined today. In the indus
trials, the losses ranged from TO nearly
z points. The railroads did not suffer so
much, but a. number closed between /
and points lower than last night. The
principal victims Of the selling were the
Iron and Steel stocks, as has been the
case all week, and Tennessee Coal led
the group, with net loss of OK points
Quite a number of other metal stocks
closed more than four points lower. Su-
gar was very active, and weak through
out the session, and closed at the low
point with net loss OF AZ. The Tobacco
stocks, the Rubber stocks, and the New
York specialties were all prominent In
the break. Manhattan was rather an ex-
ceptiou. The banks were calling loans all
day and the conviction Is unavoidable
that a very heavy liquidation Of long &C
counts was effected. The hardening OF

"Well, in my opinion, the only

The above comment, overhead by an
officer of one of the British regiments
in the Tirah--and joyfully reported
to the commandant of the scouts
was undoubtedly Il grievous libel on
many gallant fellows VINO had fought
and suffered and endured to an ex-
tent for which even the luxurious pay
of the British private can hardly be
deemed extravaganza. The peSslmlsuc
Tommy who gave utterance to the
SANDER would have been the first to
resent any such calumny from an out

In a recent speech before the Mill

That this new departure was the
most successful and most striking

Authentic Instances of Abnormal
Capacity That Seem Incredible.
The Evening Standard of London
gives in an article on gluttonous feats
some instances of abnormal capacity
that would appear incredible, were it
not for the statement that they are
sustained by unimpeachable record.
jerry Exc of Norfolk, England, ac-
cord1ng to DR.. Jessop, agreed at a
harvest supper on a wager of f5 to eat
an entire calf at one sitting, barring
the hide, bones and entrails. The
meat of the animal was cut in small
pieces and made into seventeen great
pies. Jerry attacked one after anoth-
er until he reached the ninth, when
he halted, much to the CONSERVATION
of his hackers, who thought he was
about to give up the contest He had
stopped, however, to inquire when the
calf was to be brought on. After ex-
plantations he proceeded to consume
the remaining eight pies without fur
Their delay. Nicholas Wood in the sew
enteenth century held the title of
champion eater of England. He ate at
single meal whole sheep, an entire
hog and peck of damsons. He was
defeated only once and then through
a trick of a sportsman, who wagered
that he could not ELL his belly with
two shillings' worth of victuals." Wood
took the bet and in addition agreed to
finish with an entire sirloin of beef.
The conditions were that he was to
consume the two shillings' worth Of
food within a certain limit of time.
The sportsman bought six pints Of
mighty ale in which he soaked twelve
penny loaves of fresh bread. Wood at
tackled the mess, but the fumes of the
connection overcame him and he fell
asleep and lost the wager. Rogerson,
described as a gentleman of Glouces-
tershire, was an epicure the like Of
whom England never saw before or
since. He paid his chefs $4,000 a
year, and every man employed on his
place, even the stablemen, was fin
ished cook. A relay of messengers
was employed to travel between the
Continent and England to supply him
with delicacies. His entire fortune of
$75O,O0O was expended in gastronomic
indulgence. When it was gone, he
cooked his last meal, which consisted
of an ortolan, and then committed
suicide. An eating contest between
women, held at Portsmouth, England,
early in this century, shows that the
fair sex had both appetite and capac-
ity. On this occasion a girl ate forty
three pounds of cherries and six penny
loaves of bread. She distanced her
competitors by eight pounds, but the
effort killed her.

The worms sent are the young of

Educating Farmers.

No State has been more active in the
education of it's farmers in improved
dairy methods than the State Of Wis
consin. AS a result of the education
Of the people of that State in this di-
rection, the net gain in the manufac-
ture Of butter in ten years has been six
and half million dollars, and the net
gain in the value of cheese manufac-
tured in that time has been a round
million dollars, making total net gain
in ten years for butter and cheese
alone of seven and one-half million
dollars. And the increase in the value
of the dairy cattle has been many
millions more, to say nothing of the
saving of feed and labor that was for
merly thrown away on poor cows that
did not pay for their keeping, but We're
kept at loss. This shows that the
education of the farming classes adds
to the wealth of the State, and is a
benefit to all the people.

Jackets, and are sometimes destructive
in fields. l have known them to de-
stroy fields of young wheat in Indiana
In early spring, where the land had
been devoted to clover the previous
year, and the ground broken very late
in the season and sown to wheat. There
is but little doubt that they will de-
stroy red clover and wheat in early
spring under the conditions previously
indicated.
If your ground was thicllly shaded
last fall and especially If there was q
rank growth of clover during the late
summer, these insects, in all proba bill
ity, laid their eggs among the clover
plants, and these Matching to maggots,
shown at left in the figure, became half
or two thirds grown before the winter
set in. | do not know that there is
anything you can do to stop the depre-
dations of these worms. If l am not
badly mistaken you will soon see the
ground full of holes; in many cases out
of these will be sticking empty shells,
shown at right in figure, and your
fields will be quite thickly populated
by these large, long-legged flies.-F. M.
