A Jockeys SALARY.

For the past two years George Odom,
the leading jockey Of America, has been
under contract TO Capt. s. S. Brown.
the Pittsburg millionaire. who pays him
an annual retainer Of $4,000. Then ha
sells what is known on the turf as
second call" to John Madden, for ar
amount approaching half OF the first
contract price. When neither owner is
starting a horse, Odom has the priyi-
lege Of accepting outside mounts. From
this source q rider OF his skill accumu-
lates as much money as he receives
from regular contracts In gifts and
prizes in special races, he receives an
additional amount. Odom cannot give
the exact figures Of his income this sea
son until, at the end of the year, he
has summed up his outside mounts anc
perquisites. Safely. he may count on
$4,000 as the figure which he may credit
for one year OF wearing the silks anu
satins, and riding American racehorses
TO splendid and sometimes unexpected
victory.

Although the May earnings of the Bal

decrease Of heartily three-quarters Of a
million dollars, as a matter of fact the
real showing its not nearly so bad The
company makes public monthly its earn
ings from traffic only. and does not in
clude therein its other income. As n
matter of fact, the company earned its
full fixed charges. taxes, and dividends
in the first seven months OF the present
fiscal year, and, IL is understood, that
for the first ten months Of the year,
the actual decrease in the total net in
come was only about $4,000, which IS
an exceedingly good showing when II is
taken into consideration that there has
been a large falling of IN traffic and the
expense Of maintenance Of the property
very greatly increased by the foods and

USE FOR ENGLISH SPARROW.
The Bird Thought to Be IL Pest is
Death to Tobacco Worms.

Game Warden John r. Upchurch,
of the Audubon Society, has returned
from a trip through Wake and Chat
ham counties. He had previously
been through Johnston. Harnett and
other counties east of Raleigh and left
in the afternoon for the NeuSe River
section of Wake.
Mr.. Upchurch has been engaged in
distributing to the farmers the litera-
ture of the society, which is of great
interest and of much value. 1t tells
the habits of the commoner birds ana
their usefulness as destroyers OF farm
pests. The farmers. says Mr.. Up
church, are much interested in the
work of the society and are, with Ver|
few exceptions, interested in helping
it to carry out it's ends. Many of the
farmers who live in the tobacco sec
tons say that they desire to have the
English sparrow protected. This once
despised bird they find to be the best
agency for Kidding tobacco of worms.
1t was only q few years ago that the
sparrow could be found no where eX-
ept in the towns but now. says MI
Upchurch, he has invaded the country
and every farm house has them III
numbers They propagate with the
greatest rapidity and are healthy and

their race With the sparrow as
