SHARKEY AND MUNRO
WILL. MIX IT UP
Will Go Six Rounds to Decide Which Will Fight
LeffrieS

New York, Feb. 23.-One of the i'm
portant pugilstic battles of the year
will take place Saturday night in Phil
adelphia, when Tom Sharkey and Jack
Munro fight six rounds for the right
to- face Jeffries in a championship en-
counter. 49,
That it will be ashot fight experts
all agree The brevity, of it-only six
rounds-it is believed, will only in
crease the speed with which the rivals
will battle. Both men have their ad-
mirers and although betting has not
yet begun it is thought even money
will prevail. Sharkey and Munro are
both confident Of winning. Ever since
the match was contaminated each has
declared he will surely defeat the
other. 1t will be difficult to say which
one OF the two is more confident.
While the result may be uncertain,

Hot Springs, Ark, Feb. 2s.4The first

me hotels and boarding houses of the

it it a well known fact that both men
have been training hard for the bout
and that they will enter the ring in
good condition. Sharkey Is not look
ing for any new trick. He says that
the old blows he used in his fight with
Jeffries will be good enough for Nun
70. The sailor. however. has left
hand swing which he thinks will cause
the miner considerable trouble. 1t is
said that Sharkey intends to have a
big bet on his chances when he enters
the ring.
AS for Munro, he Is training with
the care and caution that would indi-
cate that the chance Of his life had
come and he does not intend to lose
1t if he can possibly help 1t.
Since his bout with Mccoy Munro
has picked up many new tricks he in
tends to use an the sailor. There is
no better ring general than Mccoy and
there Is no doubt that Munro will
benefit by his tactics.

Rome, Ga, Feb. 2S.-The municipal
primary in Rome to-day resulted in the
election of Col. C. H. Lavender and his
entire ticket by majority Of 176.
The race was very exciting, and
Rome has seldom spent more stren-

the standpoint of fuss and feathers
there was little to chose, but a count

constant Denny falling off throughout
the day.
The dispensary cut great figure in
the fight, the dispensary element back
ing the Lavender crowd, and the anti
tank side standing by Denny. The
result is undoubtedly a strong pointer
toward the country elections this
spring. The dispensary people are ju-
bilant tonight and. the ants are
wearing worried look. ~

SHAPED, LOG AND SHALLOW TROUGHs.
shallow trough. Troughs should not be
so long that they cannot be handled by
one man, and they should be so strong
that they will not readily be broken to
pieces by the pigs.
A very convenient arrangement of
the feeding troughs is shown in the
sketch of a trough used in the hog
house at the Maryland Agricultural
college. The trOughs extend across the
front of the pen and are built solidly,
so that they will not be displaced. The
front of the pen is hung on hinges, and
which fits into holes in the edges of
the trough and holds the pen front
firmly. When feeding the pen front is
swung back and the rod inserted in the
edge of the trough. The pigs cannot
then get to the feed until the front is
lowered The plan permits feeding
without being disturbed by the eager
ness of the animals, and the feed is
evenly distributed.
Wooden trOughS are Objectionable in
some respects. They are not very cas-
lily kept clean and are not durable.
Iron troughs are used to Il considerable
extent and have much to commend
them. They are more sanitary than
wooden ones and with proper care will
last indefinitely.
AS soon as it is determined what pigs
are to be fed for market their fattening
should be started without delay. EX-
periments have repeatedly proved that
young animals always fatten more eco
nOmically than old ones, and therefore
any delay in finishing is accompanied
with loss. In rare instances it may
pay to keep a pig over winter as a
'store" hog, but generally he loses the
flesh he accumulated while sucking
his dam. and this cannot be replaced
except at increased expense.
Corn will now come into the ration
and should be supplemented by all the
variety of feed at the feeders com
mand to keep the appetite keen and
the digestive system in the best cOndi
ton. This variety should consist OF
mill feeds. dairy byprOducts and sue
culent feeds and. according to some au
thOrities, pasture. If skim milk, whey
and buttermilk are at command they
can be combined to very good advan

tage with the ration, commencing with
a proportion of about two pounds of
milk to one of grain at weaving time
and reducing the quantity of milk un-
til the pigs are finished on grain alone.
A pig gives best returns from dairy
byprOducts while young. The fatten-
ing pigs should gain from one pound to
one and half pounds daily and should
weigh between $50 and 300 pounds at
nine or ten months of age. Gains
made after this weight are nearly
twice as expensive as those made when
weighing from 80 to 100 pounds, and a
we'll bred pig finished at weight of
about $50 pounds will very nearly fill
the market requirements and bring a
satisfactory price.

Don't Neglect the Farm Manure.

1t does not seem to be a great task
for some farmers to get in the habit
of removing a wagon load of manure
to the field as soon as it is ready. and
a habit of this nature once formed is
productive of untold benefit. Let no
farmer neglect the natural farm ma
nures for the more easily handled com
mercial fertilizers, but rather let the
user of commercial fertilizers secure
and use herewith as much barnyard
manure as he can obtain.

Hints by an Expert on TrOughs and

Well made troughs are a necessity in
pig feeding. The time honored V shaped
trough is very common and doubtless
familiar to all who handle hogs. Some
farmers use troughs made of logs
which are aided off on one side to give
level resting place and followed out
on the other. This is a durable trough,
but it is very cumbersome. Theodore
