M'GovERN VS.. BERNSTEIN.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 6.-For the
first time in long while Terry Nc
Govern, the former featherweight
champion, is to be seen in the
squared circle tonight Failing in
his endeavors to clinch a return
match with young Corbett," the lit
tie Brooklyn fighter has decided that
1t would be better to go against some
of the lesser lights of pugilism
rather than remain in complete idle
ness. His opponent tonight is to be
Joe Bernstein and the scene of the
encounter will be Industrial hall The
Philadelphia law limits the bout to
six rounds with no decision.
The local sporting fraternity looks
upon Bernstein as an unworthy oppo.
nent for the former champion and as
consequence the contest is not at
tracing the attention that it woul !
If the contestants were more evenlv
matched. While Bernstein in the
course of his pugilistic career has
defeated some good men of his class,
he has at the same time been van
quished by men of small regulations,
including Sammy Smith. the local
featherweight. and other men of
small caliber.
Both men have put the finishing
touches to their work of preparation
and appear to be in excellent shape
for the bout. A number of sporting
men have arrived from New York,
Baltimore and other cities to witness
the fight.

PLENTY OF FUEL TO
MEET LONG COLD SNAP

While the demand for fuel during
the present cold spell has been great
ly accentuated. the local dealers say
that plenty is at hand and to what
ever extent the snap continues a
shortage is an impossibility.
THE consumption of wood in Spo-
kane in average cold seasons is some
thing like $500 cords a month" said
a local dealer this morning. This
has almost been doubled in the last
few days. People who have contented
themselves with one fire in the house
now find that with every fireplace in
full blast it is none too warm.
"a certain hotel on Riverside has
the fuel problem down to fine point.
. Through the ingenuity of its engi-
neer it has in operation furnaces
which consume raw sawdust and the
results are highly satisfactory in re-
gard to economy and the quality of
the heat produced"
There has been little suffering
among the poorer classes, according

CHICAGO, Feb. 6.--All business on

All the big buildings of the city
are threatened.
Firemen also will probably strike,
leaving the buildings without heat.

SPORTING WORLD.

The Spokane baseball club is said
to be up against it. and in order to
bring the organization safely out of
the chaos into which things appear
to have been drifting ever since the
commencement Of the baseball war
between the Pacific Northwest league
and the Pacific Coast league several
lovers of the sport are coming to
the front. AS matters now stand the
Pacific Coast lea que looks like a
slayer and Garrett of the local team
seems at last to realize the fact
and is reorganizing his club with a
larger capitalization, SO as to be able
to meet the new and added expense.
1t costs more to hire players this
year than last and the present war
seems to have resulted in the players
generally asking for larger salaries.
1t is welcome news to lovers of
boxing that at the recent directors
meeting OF the S. A. A c. il was
decided to again arrange a match for

match ever seen in the Occur dAIene
country. Frederick, in telling of the

northern farmers, that every
needed barn or shed placed upon
the farm not only adds to it's at.
tractiveness, but to it's selling
value at least fifty per cent mo- G
than the cost of the Improvement :
they will pay more attention &C
these needed shelters for stocii
from December to April. and thus
do away with the false theory
that stock in the south need not
be ted or sheltered during the
winter months.
Question 3. Is it safe to ship
stock from the Northwest to the
Southern states?
This question is often asked
The experience of Northern far
mers who have shipped stock
from the Northwest to the South
is that a percentage of loss at
tends such shipments of horned
cattle, but that calves and horses
rarely ever suffer to any extent,
provided care is exercised ia
feeding same, and the stock j.
not allowed tc Craze during the
early spring time. We are in
cllned to the opinion that inmi-
grants from the extreme North
west to the extreme South run
little risk in shipping their horses
but would advise that the cattle
be sold and purchases made in
the South, of stock already accli-
mated.
Question 4. How about hog
raising in the South?
There is not Southern state
in which the hog does not thrive.
1t is true that in some the condi-
tons for breeding and fattening
hogs successfully are better than
others, but throughout the South
on nearly every farm may be
found the native hog. Much has
been said and written about the
Southern "raZor- back mot espeC-
tally complimentary, and yet all
must admit that the sweetest ba d.
con is grown ana cured in the
South. Prof. Soule, of the Uni
versity of Tennessee. has the
following to say concerning this
important industry:
Some of the more important
reasons why swine husbandry
should prove especially attractive
to southern farmers are summed
up in the following paragraph.
First, there is a mild climate so
that the hogs require but little
housing. There are springs and
running streams of water every.
where, splendid natural range
and an abundance of mast in the
large forest areas still existing III
the state. Corn and other cereals
so com monty and successfully
used in the production of pork
arc easily and cheaply produced,
and a variety of forage crops, in-
Guiding the clovers and many
other legumes, thrive emarkably

Stock Raising
In the South
At Points Along the Illinois
Central Railroad.

COMPLIED BY ]. +. MERRY, a. G. P. A.
Hon. James Wilson, Secretary
of Agricnlture-in a recc Mt article
in The Southern Planter, pub,
lished at Richmond, Va, gave ex-
preston to the following state
ment concerning Stock Raising
in the South: "What the South
needs is the iutroduC Of more
domestic animals on every south
ern farm" And he further re-
marks that after years of obser-
vation and study of animal indus
try in tie South, there are MANY
domestic animals that can be
raised quite as we'll in that par
ticular section of the country as
anywhere else. He was careful
to emphasize the fact that at the
present time, throughout the
world, there is an unprecedented
demand for ust such horses as
only Southern people know hoy
toproduce and tram. He also
urged the South can, and should,
supply early spring lambs for
all northern markets; that dairy
ing ought to become one of the
leading farm industries Of the
South; that the old-timc smoke
house, found on every Southern
plantation before the war, and in
which was smoked the finest
hams that ever graced a break
fast table, ought to be restored;
and that the fine bacon.hog, for
which some portions of the South
have become noted, ought to be
more extensively raised in every
state south of the Ohio river.
Secretary Wilson is man of
large experience and wide obser-
vation. He would never have
made these obse! We tons did he
not believe and know that the
conditions were favora ble for sue
cessfully carrying them out. The
department of Animal Industry
connected with the Agricultural
Colleges Of Kentucky, West Ten
nessee, Mississippi and Louis
lana, are giving special attention
to the growing of grasses and
forage crops, and are experiment.
ing with every variety knows to
a semi-tropical country, with a
view of furnishing reliable infor-
nation that will be of incalcula-
BILE benefit to every stock-raiser.
Northern farmers understand
that the value of stock-raisine
cannot be measured alone by the
net profits from the sale of stock.
There are other indirect benz fits
that are not applicable to anv
other farm industry. We refer
more particularly to .theLnatter
cf fer ilIzation. The farm on
which cotton or wheat is grown
for a term of years becomes poor
and non-productive. In the south
ern states may yet be found a

good deal of worn out cotton land
that can Cnly be resuscitated bv
stocking the farm with cattle.
Our Northern readers will. there
fore, keep in mind that man. of
the low priced ltnds in the South
NAV become valuable through
the introduction of domestic ami
mails that will consume the native
grass and the great variety and
abundance of forage so cheaply
and so quickly grown on these
old and apparently worthless
plantations.
The South may never be able
to compete with some of the nat,
ural grazing states of the West,
but the time is not far distant
when every Sou thern planter and
farmer will raise his own horses,
mules, cows and hog, and will
thus reduce to the minimum the
expense of maintaining a south
ern farm.
Question /. Is Stock Feeding
in the South practicable?
Until quite recently no attempt
has been made to feed cattle in
the four southern states under
discussion, Chat is, with a view
TO supplying northern markets
with southern beef, except, per-
haps, in a few instances in the
state of Kentucky, where the
conditions are all favorable; and
in Mississippi, where few large
herds have been shipped in from
Texas and fattened on the by
products of cottonseed, such as
cotton-seed meal, oil cake and
cotton-seed hulls.
During the month of July Prof.
Andrew NJ. Soule, Vice-Director
of the Tennessee Agricultural
College, compiled a bulletin en-
titled: "Feeding Native Steers"
in which the sub ject is Thoroughly
handled, and the results given of
actual experiments made 1t that
station. We cannot publish IN
brief circular even a synopsis of
the statements made by Prof.
Soule, but we quote a few lines
of what he says in general way
concerning the raising of beef
cattle in Tennessee.
"Our farmers spend about
81, 100000 annually for fertilizers.
There are in round numb bers
100000 head of cattle of all
classes in the state. The drop
pings from a single beast, accord
ing to the results obtained at a
number of experiment stations,
are worth about $4,000 a year, so
that an appalling waste is going
on when one considers how in
significant an amount of stable
manure is being utilized on our
farms. II only one-tifth of the
value of the droppings of the cat
tie held in the state was utilized
as il should be, it would wipe out
the fertilizer bills now incurred
by our farmers twice over.
These figures indicate how very
important it is that the
cattle now grown in the state be
retained and finished within its

borders. 1t is quite evident that
the foreign buyer must make IL
profit on these cattle; or else he
would not continue to purchase
them. Re1ia bic information is
that many of the cattle now Sold
out of the state go to PennSylNa
MIA and MARYLAND and 9th r
nor theaStern states for wint r
feeding. 1t is evident to one ia
miliar with the topography of The
country that it is not possible to
produce crops for cattle feeding
of better varietyand character,
or on d more economical basis, IN
Maryland and Pennsylvania than
in Tennessee. and it is also we'll
esta blished that the man who
places highly finished animal on
the market derives the create It
profit therefrom. That beef ca t.
tie can be grown in the state to
the material advantage of the
farmer, is shown by the fact that
properly finished cattle topped
the market in Louisville last win
ter on several occasions, and re-
Gently some % head were sold bv
a Knoxville feeder for export to
Scotland. AS the industry, COM
paratively speaking, is in it's in
fancy, it is not to be expected
that great SUCCESS in cattle feed
ing will be achieved all at once bv
our farmers. 1t is business
which requires the exer-
else of good Judgment and the
closest personal attention. and so
it will take time to properly de-
velop it,"
Prof. Soule refers, of course.
to conditions that obtain in Ten
nessee. 1t is fair to say, howev-
er, that his statement is appli-
cable to many of the southern
states, and while he does not
mention in glowing terms that
stock feeding in the South is es-
pc cially profitable, he does fur
nlsh for reflection; and any per-
son who would know the details
and actual results of his expert
ments in Feeding Native Steers, ,
should address him at Knoxville,
Tennessee, and request a copy of
his bulletin upon that subject.
Question ,. Is ittrue thatstock
in the south need not be fed or
sheltered during the winter
months?
No, it is not true. Such treat
ment would be positive cruelty,
and there is no excuse for it.
There is hardly farm or planta-
ton , the south that does not, or
NAV no, al least, grow a sufficient
amount of native nay or fodder
to furnish an abundance Of course
food for every head of sock on
the farm during the winter
months. Neither is there anv
excuse for stock no: being shell
tered. While we are having our
cold winter billiards., the south
is having cold winter rains, and
one is about as hard on stock as
the other. Timber, .lum Der and
labor are cheap throughout the
south, and when our southern
