FIREMEN MAKE REPLY.

The Avalanche of last week pub
lisheG editorially an outrageous and
unwarranted attack upon the fire de-
partment of this city, which we feel we
cannot permit to pass unnoticed in
that it's tendency is to bring the de-
partment into contempt. 1t saw fit to
say:
The Avalanche is informed that a
custom is being established of giving
money to the fire boys, after a fire, by
the party whose property is saved by
the department. We believe the prac-
tice to De wholly wrong, and it should
be Immediately .discontinued. The de-
partment is not organized for purpOs-
es of reward, and as the money is new
err put to any good use, but "blown
in," it does nobody any good, while
the donor is that much poorer. If the
fremen will stop a moment to think,
they will realize that the acceptance of
such sums is in poor taste, and we
hope to see them decline further prof
fers of this kinder else put the mon
ey in their treasury.
The department., during it's entire
existence, has labored faithfully and
unselfshly for private and public in
terests-protecting our citizens from
direct losses by confagration, and in
cidentally from much higher rates OF
insurance than would prevail but for
it's existence. How effective it has
been is a matter, perhaps, which it
would be more delicate to refer to tie
public for judgment; and yet we feel
fully justified in contemplating with
pride the results of our labors. If we
have not earned the cor dence and es-
TEEN of the public &c lilly. we at
least have been led to ssye we have
by the many kindly Encouraging
public expressions re ~ve to us.
But it seems that swriter of the
editorial in quess considers us

interest in puttiniS 7 fires is conferred

a popular organization with large
number of stockholders, with a view OF
interesting the public in the enterprise
from the beginning. These men be-
lieve there is abundant room in the
city for a third bank--there were for
merly three--and that the enterprise
will be reasonably profitable.
The building will be an ornament to
the city and located, as it will be on a
prominent corner, will be a striking
and attention-compelling structure.
The bank will be notable addition to
the business interests of the city, and
the men behind it are a sufficient guar
antee of it's soundness.

Feeding Cattle.
The Economy OF Gain at Differ
ent Ages Compared.

Comparatively few practical
feeders are aware OF the marked
variation due to the operation
of this law. Experiments are
recorded where gain has been
made of / pound Of Increase in
live weight for each pound of
dry matter in the feed consumed
This was made with calves under
. three weeks of age. The ration
consisted of l76 pounds per
of milk per head daily with SO
pounds OF cream added
In an experiment conducted
by the writer at the Iowa agri-
cultural Experiment Station
a gain of pound of increase in
live weight was obtained from
each 1.97 pounds of dry matter
in the feed consumed. This eX-
pertinent covered period of
ninety days, beginning when the
calves were about one week old.
The ration consisted of separat
or skim milk, supplemented with
corn, oats, and oil meal, and in
addition Il moderate allowance
of hay. For first eight months it
required 4.6 pounds of feed (dry
matter) for pound of gain, and
for the first seventeen months
it reqired 5.97 pounds of feed for
a pound of gain, and for period
of two years the amount Of feed
required for a pound of gain had
increased to 7.10. pounds, and
during last four mounths the
amount of feed per pound of
gain ran up to 9,O2 pounds. In
another experiment, recorded in
Bulletin No "a of the Iowa Sta
tion, five steers were finished for
market at the age of 81 months,
and it required 104 pounds of
feed for a pound of gain at this
age. Director Thorne and pro-
fessor Hickman have presented
a summary of results obtained
at the stations in eight States,
covering 1872 head of cattle rang
ing in age from 2 to 3 years, in
which it is shown that it has re-
quired on an average of 1924

These results have been re-
peatedIy verified by many other
careful experiments, not only
with cattle, but with sheep and
hogs as well, and the law of di-
minishing returns for feed con-
sumed as animals advance in age
toward maturity is conclusively
established, and governs the
economy of gain in all practical

cost Of gain made by pure-bred
Shropshire lambs and pure-bred
Shropshire yearlings at the
Iowa Agricultural Experiment
Station, it was found that lambs
made gain in weight at the rate
of / pound from each us pounds
of feed cosumed, at the cost of
2.S6 cents per pound for the
gain made, while it required ii
pounds feed to make pound of
gain on the yearlings, and at
cost of 4 cents. All conditions
except age were the same.
The market also pays a premium
on the younger auimal, owing to
the fact that it furnishes more

by reason of the absence of eX-
cessivc fat.

must combine the advantages

 The Worcester and Clinton teams will play a post-season series of five games. The first game vii lbe played in Clinton, March p, three days after the expiration of the season. The win ner of the series will get 65 per cent of the profits, and the loser tue remain der.

 It has leaked out that the entire Lewiston team will not go to Provi- dence next season. The only two play CTS that are wanted are McGilvray and Burgess. It is also stated that the people of Providence would like to. see Fred Jean, of the local team, in Provi- dence, but we are afraid that they will be greatly disappointed as we have a rope on the entire Lowell team for next season.-Lowell Sun.

John Piening will meet James Gal vim, the wrestling champion of Ireland, and George Leonhardt, a, Brooklyn wrestler, in Brooklyn tonight. Frank Bund attempted to win the $25 offered by Johnny Dunn last night, but was thrown in six minutes.
 There will be wrestling contest for the Stevens cup and the 145 pound championship of the New York A. c. next Monday evening between r. Ol- son and Edward c. Hartshorne, catch as catch can style, two out of three falls.
 night, Dan Mcleod met Charles Rein acke of Pittsburg in the Star theater, agreeing to throw him five times in an hour or forfeit the purse. He did the trick in .25n, 21s, the times of the falls being: 6m, 14s; Am, ATS; 3m, 45s; 3m, 45s, and 4m, 2s5s.
 George Bothner of New York. the well-known lightweight champion wrestler, will tackle Alfred Anderson of this city at Andersons gymnasium on the evening of March 21. Oscar Johnson of this city will meet Jack
  Webber of New York in mixed style of wrestling. There will be a side bet of S23 on the result.-Hartford Collrant
 Leo Pardello, the Italian heavy weight wrestler of New York, who is matched to wrestle Stefano Ferice, has been training hard for the past two weeks and feels confident that he will defeat his countryman when they come together next Tuesday night in Clarendon hall, East Thirteenth street, New York.
 Whether to use the deadly strangle hold or not is question of importance in the making of wrestling matches these days, and the proposed bout be- tween Harvey Parker and George Bothner is not exempt from the argu- ment. To heavy man the use of the hold is an advantage, and it may be readily seen why Parker insists on it in his bout with the Knickerboclxer A c. instructor. A meeting will be held to-day to decide the matter.

Sift- ed right down. there are only two places in the United States where q championship fight between these men can be decided They are San Fran cisco and Carson City. The latter place if deemed out of the question be cause of the smallness of the gate re- ceipts of the Fitzsimmons-C -Corbett bat tie several years ago. Finish fights are legal in Nevada, but it is not neces- sary for Fitz and Jeffries to indulge in one of these affairs to decide the ques- ton of supremacy. A twenty-round bout i'll San Francisco will be about all that is necessary, so ring followers be- 1ieve. Fitz's objection to q change in date will be smoothed over. it is said.

The game was fast and excit- ing throughout and was anybody's game until the whistle blew for the end of the second half. Hartford has q strong team, but not strong enough to beat Waterbury.

 Tommy Sullivan of Portland has been made an offer by Rogen Connol to play with the Springfield team which Connor will manage this sea- son.
 An odd fact, which has not been noted, is that the two Donovans now in the National league-Patsey of St Louis and Bill of rooklyn-although not related, were born in the same town, Lawrence, Mass.
 The stockholders of the Hartford baseball club will meet this evening. The financing of the club the appoint ment of groundkeeper and a report from Dr Reisling about the young men he has secured will be considered.
 F. F. Shea & Go, of Springfield are to secure ten years lease of Hamp- den park. They intend to build sum- mer theater, chutes and merry go round, improve the track and stables, etc. A big force of men will be em- ployed to get the park in shape and it is expected that they will tramp the baseball lot down so that Roger Connor will not have bill to pay for cutting grass.
 Unglaub's double dealing has done nothing to make him more popular with the local cranks. He was never any too popular, as it was, and Pres ident Hurley's team will be better off without him. He had an abnormal opinion of his own abilities and though without doubt he had the making of good ball player in him, this ten dency to overrate his work tended to prevent improvement.--W Worcester Tel egram.

Dwyer and Wittmer Match Will Not
 Take Place.

.
 Take Place.
 aThe wrestling match between Pro- lessor NJ. J. Dwyer and Charley Witt mer is off for the present. It was all caused by the fact that the dates be- tween Lundin and Wittmer in Wor- cester and Dwyer and Wittmer ill Waterbury got mixed in some way and the result was the calling off of the match here. Manager Tuohey went to Worcester yesterday and found on his arrival there that the match between Lundin and Wittmer was booked for March 20 and that all the paper was out advertising it. He supposed that the match was to come therefore,to stop one of the matches, and as there was no printing out for the Dwyer match that would have to be deferred The following telegram was received from Manager Tuohey this morning:
 Worcester. March H. 1902. Charley Wittmer, Waterbury, Conn. Buy tickets for the noon train via Springfield. Printing all out here for the twentieth. Notify newspa- per:.
