Chicago, Feb. 11.-Sol Van Praag. a
saloonkeeper. levee politician and
sportsman. announced last night that
he would apply to the courts for an in
junction stopping the six-round boxing
contests which are scheduled to be held
tonight in the gymnasium of the Chi

of the hackers of the proposed Corbett-
Sharkey contest to be held here March

would not allow the men to box here be-
cause of the record they made in their
New York fight.
Van Praag, after a stormy interview
with the mayor, received no satisfac-
ton and now declares that inasmuch as
his show has been stopped there shall
be on others, and failing to induce the
mayor to stop them he will appeal to
the courts and begin with the athletic

Manila. Feb. IL, 5:25 p. m.-Early
this morning the MOnadnock and
Charleston began dropping shells into
the rebel camp between Caloocan and
Malabon. The 3rd artillery drove the
insurgents out of the jungle at noon.
More of our men were wounded,
but the heat is knocking out more
Americans than Filipinos' bullets. The
loss of the enemy is estimated at 80
to one American. The railroad is
now opened to Caloocan. and supplies
and troops are being forwarded by
rail. The city is now quieter and
business better than at any time since
the outbreak of hostilities.
Additional particulars regarding
the capture of Caloocan are obtained.
The insurgents had been cencentrst-
ing the forces for days at Caloocan.
Otis instructed that commanders be
prepared to attack them. The pro-
gram of war was like clock work. The
attack began at 3, and by the enemy
was utterly routed and fled TO the
mountains.
The American losses yesterday were
three killed and 32wounded. The Fill
pinO loss was heavy.

Cooling the Milk.

Clean milking, by clean hands, in as
pure stable atmosphere as obtainablo,
must be supplemented by rapid and
thorough cooling of the milk. Cooling
at once lessons the capacity of the
milk to take up odors, arrests the pro-
cess of fermentation, and, if well
stirred during the cooling, the cream is
kept from rising to the surface and will
afterward more surely remain mixed
with the milk while being distributed
from the wagon. These are valuable
considerations for milkman who de-
sires to give his customers a good SER
vice.
For us the simplest and best way to
accomplish all these good results is to
have tank Of icewater in a room near
or adjoining the milking room. AS
fast as the pals are filled take immedi-
ately to the tank and pour the milk into
tin cans, which are suspended in ice
water. Have an agitstor in the can
while being filed. The simplest and
best form for this is not unlike an old
fashioned churn dasher, only make the
dasher of piece of tin six or seven
inches in diameter, soldered firmly onto
the end of wire handle, which had
better be galvanized and have a loop in
the end to hang it up by. Two or
three plunges with this implement in d
can of milk each time that pail is
emptied will be found to be very effec-
tive in agitating, and consequently in
cooling the milk.
We much prefer this simple and eff
fective method to any of the more elab-
crate and expensive ones, and it is our
experience that milk 30 treated will
keep longer than as though exposed to
the atmosphere in fine spray or thin
sheet, in neither of which cases are any
germs removed, but it is reasonably
certain that even under very favorable
conditions few are added to the milk.
Milk or any other flid will cool much
more readily when brought in close
contact with water than in air, even
though the air is considerably colder
than the water. This is especially true of
milk in tin cans or glass jars. If one
must have an aerator, he should choose
one through which water is run for
cooling purposes W. Mossman, in

The Potato Crop of 1899,

A liberal potato crop is in sight, ac-
cording to the final report of "The
American Agricultural" in its issue of
October 81. This says that under the
stimulus of high prices last winter and
spring farmers increased their area to
nearly three million acres devoted to
this crop. Returns from every impor-
tant potato growing State make it APP
pear that the crop as whole is close
to 242,000, 900 bushels, or the heaviest
since 1896, when the acreage was
little smaller, but the average rate of
yield per acre somewhat higher. Ac-
cording to "rhe American Agricultu-
turist," the average yield an acre in
1899 was 81 bushels, compared with
70 bushels in 1898, Ga bushels in 1897
and Sc bushels in 1896. The total crop
of 1898 was 204 100000 bushels and in
1897 it was ia 100000 bushels. The
yield in the Middle States, though ir-
regular, is liberal in the aggregate.
New England's shortage in apples ia
made up partly through an unusually
fine potato crop. The crop of the
West is proving somewhat disappoint-
ing, particularly in Michigan. North
ern Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin and
the Northwest generally. But damage
reports are by no means universal, and
the West as whole is securing large
crop of potatoes of good quality. In
Canada and the Maritime Provinces
farmers are harvesting a fair crop.
Nearly an average European crop is in
sight, the yield being somewhat un-
even. The home markets are all well
supplied, and prices to farmers are
opening comparatively low. While the
crop as whole is liberal one, this
authority concludes there is no reason
to sacrifice stock by forcing it upon an
unwilling market wherever growers are
80 situated as properly to store.

AGRICULTURAL.
The Man without a Hoe.

When springtime comes he takes his foaming
steeds,
All proud and champiDg in their harness gay
Begins his early war against the weeds
And while the sun shines makes his wad of hay;
But not second does he fool with hoe,
Nor any back number agricultural implement such
as Markham used to know
He turns the furrow with sulky plough
Nor does he walk, but sits upon a seat;
The sweat of labor is not on his brow,
There are bunons on his manly feet
Serene and calm he sits and drives his team,
And smokes cigars and sends the hired man to the
house for ice cream.
The shirt he wears is elegantly fried,
His pants creased style to please the queeni
lie wears his glasses with the chain outside,
And ordy and commanding is HIS mien;
And so he rides ana makes his sulky whizz
And mutters; "what chump that blame chap
Markham isl"
And WI EN- the evening comes the farmer calls
The bringing hireling from the adjacent barn
And bids him bring the trotters from their stalls
And hitch them to the chariot by darn;
And then the farmer takes his wife and silk clad
folks,
And scoots to town at a Maud gait, and says:
"That Markham poem is the FUNNIEST of all
jokesl"
We all must struggle for the bread we chew
The coal we burn, the dizzy rags we wear;
All but the farmer, at whom nature threw
The smoothest goods that the old dame could
spare,
His living grows, In wanton waste around
And he but sits and buy up few hundred more
acres of ground.

Forest Leaves in the Garden.

In discussing the matter of fertiliz-
ing village garden with an old gar
dener he highly recommended autumn
leaves. In the autumn of 1897, when
the streets were full of fallen leaves, /
made up my mind to try them. After
a good rain hired village cartman to
collect them for me and dump them in
compact heap in place in the gar
den where wagon could enter with
out doing harm. He dumped eight
loads, charging me only twenty cents
load. Being gathered from the cutters,
where they lay in heaps, having drift
ed thus in the rainstorm Of the previ-
GUS day, it was an easy job, and he did
it in half day. In the spring of 1898
they were not sufficiently decomposed
to be desirable, and left them undis-
turbed. Last spring a single handling
made them as fine as could be desired.
In fact, this leaf mould was worth to
me three times its cost in commercial
fertilizer, for it supplied want which
no commercial fertilizer can supply
humus. shall continue the practice,
adding annually little potash (muri-
ate) or wood ashes to the pile, the lat
ter of which get from an open CRATE
wood fire in spring and fall in our sit
ting room.
My old friend who so strongly rec
commended this had garden in which
he had been obliged to raise the soil to
a proper level, and really good surface
