SHARKEY GOING ABROAD.
He Cables Mitchell That He Will
Fight Him In England Next Spring.


New York, Jan. 18.-Tom Sharkey,
dictator to the fistic stars who seek his
laureIs. has decided to take trip
abroad. Since the sailor knocked out
Mccoy he has received numerous cha1-
lenges but has refused to consider any
offer at present. He will take rest
before entering the ring again. After
his vacation, unless signed to meet F1tz-
simmons, Sharkey will go to England to
fight Mitchell. Some time ago Sharkey
signed to box Mitchell in March, and
Yesterday informed the Englishman by
cable that the agreement still held good,
providing he was sincere in his desire
to fight.
If Mitchell lives up to his original in
tentfons the bout will probably be de-
cided in England some time next May.
What the public wants to see, how
ever, is a fight between Fitzsimmons
and Sharkey, and the sports are await
ing Sharkey's acceptance of the Aus
tralian's challenge. They think Sharkey
should go after higher game than
Mitchell, now that he is champion Tom
O'Rourke said yesterday that Sharkey
would fight Fitzsimmons, but would
Just give Lankey Bob a dose of his own
medicine.
First of ALL said O'Rourke, tom
will take rest, and next spring VIII
take a trip to England. If the purse
offered abroad for a fight with Mitchell
is large enough and other details are
satisfactory, SharlSey will meet Mitch
ell in May. Whether he will take on
anybody before that time I do not
know. We may decide later"

WHY NOT HAVE A BONFIRE.
Anything to Get Rid of the Wasteful
Mass of Printed Matter.

According to resolution passed by the
house each member will be given three
copies of the house journal of 1897. The
resolution was introduced by Mr..
Brooke and originally provided that
each member be given one copy of the
house journal. An objection was raised,
and Mr.. Brooke explained that the jour-
nails were just taking up room in the
secretary of states office and they
would be of more use to the members
now than at some future time.
Mr.. Fairchild asked: How many
Journals are there down there?"
about 300 or 40O,' answered Mr..
Brooke.

An overabundance of PAGES.

The house is having trouble with its
pages. 1t has SO many of them that
they are continually getting in one an
others way. Whenever a member calls
a page from five to ten make a dash
for him and each one insists on doing
his errand. There are twelve of them
all told in the house.
The matter got to be such a great
nuisance that it was brought up in the
Republican caucus yesterday afternoon
and the Sergeant-at-armS was instruct
ed to place half of them on each side
of the hall and instruct them to take
turns about running errands.
The pages each receive 81 per day.

After Dishonest Lawvers.

Senator Crossan has reintroduced in
the senate the bill which he presented
at the special session making the pun
ishment of lawyers who embeZZle
money, possible under the state law.
Under the existing law a collector who
is also a lawyer may secure possession
of funds belonging to his clients and
make away with it and still stand in no
danger of punishment. Mr.. Crossan
says the present law is bad and should
be amended so as to make all persons
responsible for money which may come
into their hands.

Entrances TO Fields.

In all country road making there is
usually much plowing up of roadsides
and scraping of the soil into the mid
die of the highway to make a good
road bed. Most of this work is worse
than useless, though there are places
where the open ditch beside the road
operates as a drain and thus does some
good. But in any case the farmer who
owns land adjoining the road should
insist that if the ditch is needed the
highway oyerseer must bridge the
open ditch so that it will not obstruct
the entrances to his fields. Out of
those fields he will each year draw
many loads of produce, and into them
as many of manure. To have a good
entrance to his fields is therefore
the most important part of road max
ing for him. Yet after the road tax is
worked out it is often found that q
high but very narrow roadbed has been
made in the centre of the highway,
and ditch between it and the gate
that he uses TO enter his fields. The
only way for the farmer then to do is
to make at his own expense a culvert
for water to pass through, and cover
it nearly as high as the roadbed. 1t
will make q bad place to turn il the
roadbed is narrow as well as high.
When farmer has few such ex-
periences he will probably come to
the conclusion that working out his
tax under the average path master is
about the dearest possible way to keep
roads in good condition, even though
he does not have to pay out any
money. The time is coming when
deep underdrains beside the roadbed
will make only very slight rise in
the centre necessary to insure good
track. The deep drain should be cou-
nected at frequent intervals with the
loose stone or underdrain under the
roadbed itself. This will keep the
road always dry, and it will make it
easy to turn out without breaking
down or overturning an overloaded
wagon. Then with wide gate, so as
to avoid danger of hitting either side
when q loaded wagon goes through,
there will be fewer losses by breakage
OF wheels, axles or gate posts, and the
farmer will have the benefits of the
good road as much as those who merely
drive on its roadbed. American Gull

In perfect stable with all the con-
ditions Just right, about Is pounds of
good mixed hay day will be used by
a 1000-pound COW to simply exist,
writes j. $. Woodward in Hoards'
Dairyman. II no food is given be-
yond this, no production of milk can
take place except at the expense of the
cows condition. DR.. Lehman made
some very instructive experiments in
which food of light is thrown on
this question Of feeding cows. He
shows that the same COW that was
kept in the pink of condition on Is
pounds of dry matter in hay, ate all
the way up to 20 pounds as she was
placed in less favored conditions.
That when turned out for couple of
hours each day, as cows are usually
treated, she ate 81 pounds with no
gam of milk production. He then
continued to show the cost of milk
production ia food beyond this point.
His experiments were very instruc-
tive, showing that when eating 90
pounds dry matter in cold stable nc
milk resulted, and the same when eat
ing Is to II pounds under more favor.
able conditions, so that in each case,
the food eaten was entirely wasted SO
far as production of milk was con.
cerned. That when eating 25 pounds
OF dry matter, under ordinary condi-
tions, IL pounds of milk was made at
an expense of 2.27 pounds of dry mat
ter for each pound.
But as the ration was increased for
each two pounds of dry matter, the in
crease of milk was about SO, and at a
gradual reduction in the amount OF
dry matter to produce a pound OF
milk.
The conclusions of the above turns a
bright light on one grave mistake often
made, that of deficient feeding.
A bright, clear headed man will
look into this question, and will see
that the milk costing the least is pro-
duced when the COW is fed an abun-
dant ration, properly balanced. We
have often heard farmers remark con-
cerning q neignbor who was liberal
feeder; "Yes, l know he gets lots of
milk, but it costs him all it is worth
in feeding"
By the above it will be seen that il
took just about half the food to pro-
duce a pound of milk when the COW
was fed 30 pounds of dry matter that
it did when she was fed 25 pounds,
conditions being the same. Many
feed their cows only about enough to
maintain life. They get but little
milk, and what they get costs high.

Controlling the Potato Stalk wesv,i.

wills in the ground. The Kansas ex-
pertinent station calls attention to the
TACT that there are certain very com
great nuisances and aid in harboring
the stalk weevil. These are ground
cherry, stinkweed, cocklebur and bull
nettle. These farmers should learn
to recognize and keep out of potato
fields. They should be pulled up
roots and all and destroyed. If pull
ing is too expensive an operation the
weeds should be cut down while young
and allowed to dry up. Many of the
larvae in the stalks will perish for
want of proper food.
Great care should always be taken
to promote vigorous growth by clean
culture and fertilization. The heavy
vine does not suffer nearly so severely
as one that is in any way weakened.
The greatest injury occurs to vines of
low vitality which have suffered al
ready from the attacks of other insects
drouth or heat. Spraying with lon
don purple aud paris green has been
recommended and may be of some
use. Sweeping the vines with an in
sect net when the beetles are on the
outside may result in getting rid of a
