But one lonesome favorite went under the

but the sport was decidedly the best OF the
meeting. With the exception of the steeple-
chase. which was won by the extreme out
slider at - to 1, the finishes in the other
five events were by the closest margins, and
the onlookers grew hoarse cheering the VIC

Something of a sensation turned up in
the third race when Yorkshire Lad. after
winning by a short head from Amberjack.

on account of foulng the latter. When the
barrier went up to a good start Jane Holly
was the first away. and led to the far turn,
when Amberjack shot to the front and was
leading by a length when the stretch was
reached. Burns got Yorkshire Lad through
at that point and quickly raced up beside

There was a general ruction at the Hud-

The main bout was to have been between

From the tap of the gong at the first round

eye in two places and blood flowed freely
till the finish. In the ninth round. it Is
claimed. while the two were in mix-up.
Lowe unfairly threw his antagonist. Nc
Claim was rather severely punished. but it
Is said that Lowe was the heavier man.
After niue rounds of hard fast fighting
Mccain won on foul. Kid Taylor one of

THE SOUTHERN BARBECUE.
Preparat;on Of the Feast as Described
by One Who Has Had
Experience.

The way we fix for barbecue Is to
begin to get ready the day befo'. The
meat is roastin' all night, says q
writer in Outing. We have plenty OF
different kinds-shote, calf, kid and
goat-and we roast 'em whole. A
trench is dug and oak bark Goals Put
in. Then sticks are laid across for the
shote and other creatures to rest m.

an do the basting and the rougl
work. The next day everybody comes.
There's a detail to do the carving, and
we all step up and get what we want
and go and set down by some tree to
eat it. OF course, there's potatoes and
cornmeal, light-bread and pickles and
cake, and there's ice cream, and there's
pure, genuine coffee that the old ladies
make in abundance. Then there's fried
chicken if anyone is fastidious enough
to want it, and some enterprising fellow
is likely to bring dozen bottles of
beer and invite his special friends out
to his buggy to drink it. But the
best thing to my thinkin' is the shote.
A man hasn't got any part in the resur-
rection until he's eaten barbecued shote.

SAVED CHILD'S LIFE.
Remarkable Cure Of Dropsy by Dodd's
Kidney Pills.

Sedgwick, Ark, June l9.-The case of W.
S. Taylor's little son is looked upon by
those interested in medical matters as one
of the most wonderful on record: In this
connection his father makes the following
statement:- 49,. i.
Last September my little boy had
dropsy; his feet and limbs were swollen
to such an extent that he could not walk
or put his shoes on. The treatment that
the doctors were giving him seemed to
do him no good, and two or three people
said his days were short, even the doctors,
two of the best in the country told me he
would not get better. l STOPPED Their
Kidney Pills. I gave him three Pills. a
day, one morning, noon and night. for
eight days; at the end of the eighth day
the swelling was all gone, but to, give
the medicine justice, I gave him eleven
more Pills. I used thirty-f,ye Pills in all
and he was entirely cured. I consider
your medicine saved my child life: When
the thirty-fve Pills were given him, ne
could run, dance and sing, whereas before
he was an invalid in his mothers arms
from morning until night"

buggy, putting it on snugly, so it will
not rock, or turn. You then have a
perch that has no high places, does
not touch the walls at any point, and
on such wheel, Is hens can easily
find roosting room. 1t Is impossible
for them to go walking about" and
they sit there in bunch, snug and
warm. This wheel perch is very
clearly and when attention is needed
to be called to it, it is easily lifted
OF the spindle and laid on little
burning straw and purified or It can
be wet down where it is with an
atomizer or sprayer and a little sheep
dip or like preparation. There is no
reason why with a larger flock than
IS hens more wheels would not prove
quite as satisfactory as perches-the
only possible chance for objection be-
ing that the hens might turn them into
merry-go-rounds! $&x..
We built square, tight floor over
this roost about foot larger than the
diameter of the wheel, and about two
feet above it, and then put burlap
curtain on two sides that reaches from
this platform to within a foot OF The
floor. OF course the walls of the room
complete the Enclosure. In one corner
of this Enclosure, we have a "hop-up-
block" and the hens quickly find this
warm roost, for sitting together in q
bunch in this draftless roosting place
they are very snug and comfortable,
and frosted combs are out of the ques-
ton unless the balance of the hen
coop is open to all out doors. 8ts

This winter we have fed whole oats
plentifully along with some corn, and
small grains, and plenty of apples, and
the eggs they have laid is surprising.

for the farmer to have eggs in the
winter-if he has young hens.

The Ohio Farmer from time to time
has had much advice. about roosts for
hens, and nearly all Of them made the
point that they should not be attached
to the side walls. but have some de-
vice whereby it would be impossible
for the mites and similar enemies of
the hen to get to the roosts. We have
tried many sorts and methods, but
have discarded all of them, for
one that seems perfection and has no
patent or expense tied to it. In one
corner of the hen-hoNse we drive a

MEAT AS CHICKEN FOOD. \
Rhode island Experimental Station
Tells Of Several Tests in This J
Direction. &&

In a recent report Of experiments In
feeding chickens, the Rhode Island *
pertinent station says: ~.
1.-THE use of the proper proportion of
animal food will pay handsome profit
through decreased mortality and in
creased weight Of the chicks. In feeding
bear in mind that chicks in a state of
nature spend practically all Of their
working hours in search Of food, and
that they do not fill their crops in ten
minutes every two hours. Feeding
should be, as far as the time of the st-
tendant renders profitable, q continuous
process, but by no means a continuous
gorge. E%S'
1.-THE experiment which led up to this
conclusion was with an incubator hatch
of PIG chickens. These were separated
into lots of about so each and placed in
similar brooders. For 30 days all condi-
tons were kept alike except the rations.
Pen A was fed balanced ration of
grains, meat and green food. The
chicks grew and thrived and not one
chick showed symptoms of digestive
disorder. The deaths amounted to 80
per cent. In pen B all animal food was
withheld; the deaths were 9.5 pei. cent.
Of which Is per cent. had bowel trouble.
Pen c was fed on grain alone, all animal
food and all green food being omitted
from the ration; the deaths were 1927
per cent, of which 76.5 per cent. showed
digestive trouble. In pen D all grain
food was omitted; the deaths of chicks
were 63.7 per cent, of which 1873 per cent.
showed bowel trouble. All the living
chicks were weighed at the close of tho
test, and pen A showed the geatest aver
age weight for all breeds.
This experiment shows conclusively
that outside of brooding and conditions
during incubation chicks may be killed
by improper feeding. Where one does
not wish to buy the prepared beef
scraps, the bones and scraps from the
table will go far toward feeding the baby
chicks at first If put in shape so they
can eat themx''
