F0URNON CAN DO MORE
THAN FENCE WELL

Lucien Fournon, former instructor at
Worcester Fencing Club, objects in a
most vigorous fashion to the claims OF
Henri Genoud, as recently published in
The Spy. In a letter to The Spy, Prof.
Fournon says
Boston, Nov. II.
"Genoud has been Unfortunately for
mel, my pupil and is now under imam
cial obligations to me. Having been in
the business 81 years feel that have
the right to say that Genoud Is simply
a fervent little amateur. Some pupils
are intelligent and liable to catch easily
what they are taught. Some others
could take lessons lifetime and never
be able to learn anything. Genoud Is
of this latter class. He tried to work
the Boston papers, but his father called
on every sporting editor and asked
that nothing be written about his son.
Genoud never went abroad and never
met fencers except in his own class, be-
ginners. 1 regret exceedingly that Ie-
noud has put you in such position by
his stories.
"LUCIEN FOURNON,
Fencing Master"
Following is a copy of challenge is
sued to Henri Genoud by one of Prof.
Fournon's pupils-
I'm reference to the many challenges
that Henri Genoud has publicly Of
fered to the serious professionals OF
Boston, there can be but one comment
Henri Gounod has no license to asso-
ciate his name with fencing. for he has
given no proof that he has any ac-
quaintance whatsoever with that splen-
did art. As an amateur who realizes
how modestly he should use his name
as a fencer, l will sacrifice the very
small prestige that have to meet one
who has not yet shown himself even an
amateur Lucien Fournon, whose pu-
pill am, is a fencer who may well rest
upon his legitimate victories. He has
given me the love for this beautiful
sport. With this spirit, 1 will fence
Henri Genoud under any conditions he
may suggest, provided he will let the
decision rest with capable and well
known fencers of Boston. If Henri &C.
noud will not accept this challenge, |
am sure that no further statements OF
his will be given serious attention.

AFTER BABY COMES.
The Disappointment of a
R Weak Mother.

After the baby's coming the weak
mother often has her first great disap-
pointment in not being able to nurse her
child. Perhaps she is not strong enough
TO sustain more thar her own life during
the days Of slow convalescence. Perhaps
there is lack of the secretions which
make the baby's food. In any case she
feels robbed of half the joy of her ma
ternity because she cannot nurse her
child. And she envies the healthy
woman who cares for it and who per-
mits the mother to occasionally see and
caress her own baby. If women would
consider the matter they could hardly
expect to be strong after the baby's
coming if they were weak before. The
woman who suffers during the prenatal
period-who is nervous and sleepless
and without appetite, is exhausting her

The Old October Brew

It has been told in song and story about the Old
October Ale. And rightly too, for every year
at this time the new hops just picked from the
clustering vines impart to our Tadcaster Ales
and Matchless Porter that superb and delicate
flavor that is so appreciated by connoisseurs.
Some dealers in trying to palm off to new
arrival an inferior ale, may say that 1t is Just as
good as Bowler Brothers Tadcaster Ales, but
when he does that turn round and face him. look
him squarey in the eye and tell him ne is
well, very economical with the truth
lust as good as our Tadcaster Ale DON'T GO.
There is no other ale just as good. When our
competitors in trying to sell their SO called ales
use Our Tadcaster Ales as standard, it proves
to you at once that our Tadcaster Ales are ALL
RIGHT
All the leading bottlers of this city use our
Tadcaster Aes and Matchless Porter, and no
other.

The floor of the poultry-house is an
important consideration when We be-
gin the construction of a house. Many
kinds have been tried, but all have
both good and bad features.
The board floor is the neatest, but
it absorbs the droppings and rats and
mice make their homes under it. The
dirt floor is perhaps the least objec-
tionable of all, but it also has its
faults, in that varmints dig under ii.
The concrete floor has merit, but is
objected to because it is cold and must
be covered with dirt or straw. Aside
from this, it seems to be the fayorite.
and will no doubt be used extensively
by the larger breeders.
For the farmer and small breeder
there seems TO be nothing better than
the dirt floor, which can be renewed
as often as desired at no expense save
the labor, and this is fully covered by
the rich soil which is exchanged.
If farmers really appreciated the
poultry droppings as they should, more
attention would be given the saving of
every particle. There is no fertilizer
that will compare with this for the
garden, and, being so conveniently
near, there is no reason why it should
not be sayed.-Farm and Home.

The preservation of tools and ma
chimes ON farms is In important mat
ter, as one of the principal sources of
expense is that of repairs. Tools are
costly when not kept in some place
where they will be protected against
the weather. In the spring, when
the hurry of work comes, the nipple
ment most required may be unfit for
service, and a new II may be neces-
sary, or repairs, which should have
been procured weeks before, must
be purchased. 1t is not unusual for
farmers who change locations to find
themselves loaded with tools that they
did not suppose they possessed, the
clearing up for removal bringing to
light some that had been stored away
where they could not be found. Other
farmers leave their plows, harrows
and other implements in the fields to
rust.

The season for selling turkeys goes
beyond Thanksgiving, as the demand
continues long after Christmas. The
farmer should never send his turkeys
to market until he has penned them
for about ten days and fed them three
or four times a day. A mixture of
four pounds of corn meal, two pounds
ground oats and half a pound of lin
seed meal, moistened with milk and
warm water, should be given at each
meal, except at night, when an abund-
ance of corn and wheat should be al
lowed. Fresh water, gravel and some
kind of green food will also be neees-
sary. A single turkey, alone in a
coop, will not thrive. Put several in
4 yard together, and they will be more
c%ontented. Two or three pounds added
to each turkey will amount to a con-
siderable sum in money for a large
lot, while the extra quality will en-
able the farmer to secure a higher
price per pound.

Farming is n business, the object
being to derive a profit, for no farmer
should be satisfied with a bare living
or existence on a farm. If there is an
insufficient quantity Of manure for a
large field reduce the area, as the la
Dor is something that enters into the
cost. Concentration of labor and ma
nure will give a profit when failure is
sure to result in working a large plot
of land. Much of the cost of labor is
in the beginning, and not in the har-
vesting. The larger the area the great
er the wear and repairs of implements,
md the greater the distance to be tray
eled while working. A crop of forty
bushels of wheat on one acre will give
a profit, while twenty bushes per
acre may not pay expenses. The rea-
son is that the larger yield will cost
less per bushel for labor and plant
food than the smaller, the land also
being benefited by the better cultiva-
ton and treatment of the growing
crop. whether of wheat, corn or oats.
