( Chicago. ILL.,, June 25.-Terry Meow
ern Saturday night upheld his reputa-
ton as king of all the featherweights
by defeating George Dixon, the former
champion, in six rounds Dixon, altho
not knocked out, was in distress and
holding on for dear life as the bout
ended. The fight was fast and furious
from beginning to end, with Terry on
top of his man all the time. Dixon tried
in every conceivable manner to get the
advantage. but his blows did not have
the steam behind them that his
younger opponent was dealing out.
tMcGovern took matters rather easy
during the first two rounds and the
colored boy landed repeatedly and near
the end of the second round staggered
McGovern with a vicious blow on the
jaw. McGovern recovered quickly,
however, and was forcing matters
when the round ended.
McGovern woke up in the third and
got in some of his famous short arm
jolts on his adversary's stomach. Dix
on did some good work in the next two
rounds, but McGovern was too strong
for him and made the veteran break
ground several times. In the last 1t was
all McGovern's. He went after Dixon
with both hands, but Dixon lodged the
issue and grabbed Terry around the
neck at every opportunity to escape
punishment. McGovern worked hard
to make Dixon keep away and fight,
but the latter would no sooner step
back than he would come in again and
hold to Terry for dear life. Even In
this manner Dixon received a severe
beating and was very weak at the end

3 NOTES FOR BEEKEEPERS.

Bees can endure dry cold, but not
dampness-
When honey is overheated its color
is injured.
Spring is usually the best time to in
vest in bees
Lack of ventilation is a cause Oh
Gampness IN many hives.
More bees are lost by wintering than
by disease o. any other cause.
Bees Matched in the fall will live
through the winter until spring.
Extracted honey is much easier kept
than comb honey, as the latter is liza
bic to get soiled.
No drones are reared in a colony un.
ell the colony becomes strong with
plenty of worker brood.
Combine beekeeping with fruit
growing and you can more easily pro.
cure two crops from the same land.
Honey that remains in the comb fol
some time after being stored is al.
ways the best article when extracted
In very cold weather bees often die,
and, falling, will clog the entrance
Tney must be removed or the bees will
smother.
During the winter care must, be
taken in removing dead bees, so as not
TO disturb the hive and arouse them
into activity.
Stirring honey unnecessarily causes
it to candy sooner than it otherwise
would. Usually there is no reason for
disturbing it.
All work that is to be done with
bees in winter time must be done on
warm days while the bees are flying,
and at no other time.
If there is too much drone comb in
the hive remove 1t and replace it with
worker comb. In this way the supply
of drones is easily regulated.
1T is not so much in understanding
the theory of beekeeping that brings
success as in the capacity for looking
after the details.-St. Louis Republic.

How to Locate Henhouses.

Poultry houses should not be located
on the north side of a clump of ever
green trees or to the north of build
iHgs that will shut off the supply of
sunshine in the winter time. Sun
shine should be present at all times
of the day; its salutary effect will be
remarkable. In the summer time the
fowls naturally get all the sunshine
they want without our help, but at
this time of year we must give them
our help. Sunshine will keep the air
dry and will to some extent neutralize
the moisture constantly being thrown
off from the lungs of the fowls. A few
good-siZed windows on the south side
will prove of immense vaIue.-Farm

BEEF KILLING IN MANILA.
Novel and Striking Scenes i'm the
Public Slaughter House of
the Filipino Capital.

A visitor from foreign parts in the
.ity of Manila, whose sensibilities are
not too acute, will find it worth his
while to drop in" at the public
slaughterhouse, in the place known as
Arroceres. This is on the river bank
to the northeast of Manila, and is a
much-frequented spot, where, besides
the slaughterhouse, are located the to-
bacco factories, the botanical garden,
a Spanish theater and the kiosko, de-
signed for public dances.
The proper time to visit the slaugh-
terhouse is about midnight, for this
is when the principal business of the
place is done. Owing to the tropical
heat. in which fresh meat becomes
putrid in an incredibly brief period, it
is necessary that the killing of ami
mails should be done at night and the
meat distributed at once for imme-
diate use. All this work is done in the
wide-sPreading, low building in the
square at Arroceres.
When operations are at their height
the scene is picturesque in the ex-
treme. The great majority of the ami
mails slaughtered are the large native
cattle, most of whom are brought
here, to tell the truth, not because of
their being in a specially fat and juicy
condition, but because they have out
lived their usefulness elsewhere and
are here to be converted into beef as
a last resort. The killing is done en-
tirely by natives trained in the busi-
ness until they have become experts.
The cattle are led in from the pens at
\
by stout ropes over long troughs that
run up and down all through the
structure, and into which the blood
flows when the animals are first
struck. The fatal blow is given with a
large, sharp knife in the spinal cord,
just back of the horns. As a rule one
blow is enough. The animal drops
without a sound and scarcely culver.
1t sometimes happens, however, that
the thrust miscarries and the beast is
only badly wounded. Then sometimes
a terrific and exciting struggle ensues
before the enraged animal is subdued
and the finishing stroke given.
A specially novel feature of the pro-
ceedings is the rush made by the ma
tive women and children, who are al
lect the blood as it flows from the
freshly killed animals. This product
of the slaughterhouse is greatly priced
by the natives, and is served up in
various simple forms at their meals.
It costs them nothing except the
struggle to catch it as it drips and
flows in the slaughterhouse, and this
price many of the poorer class are
willing enough to pay. The scramble
for blood is not attractive to casual
visitor, for the stuff gets spilled and
streaked around over the hands and
clothing of the people, and the scene
is grewsome enough. As soon as the
animals are killed the meat is cut up
and distributed at once among the
local markets in all parts of the city.

When a swarm of bees is found at the
.lose of the season light in weight it is
generally better policy to destroy it
than to try to keep it through the win
ter. The weak swarm is probably al
ready infested with bee worms. and
the sooner the propagation of these is
arrested the better, as their increase
makes greater danger for all the
swarms next year. If the weak swarm
is destitute of queen its bees may be
transferred to a larger and stronger
swarm with advantage to both, though
in some cases more food must be pro-
vided for the strong swarm after this
addition, to enable it to winter without
loss.

SonaIi Life.

The camel yields them milk-fre-

accommodate their existence to the
