members, have. shut, down and will

pugilistic clan, Young Corbett" be-
ing especially included for the Indian
mark.
Terry's experience recalls a SINH
lar one a well known pugilist, Con
McVay by name, had years ago at a
chicken fight pulled off at Mount
Clemens by "Jim" Trimble
The fighter in question attended a
big main across the river" there out
toward Bingham's roadhouse. He had
with him several friends and was
under full sail. He took a seat at
the pit side, and when the battles
began he saw men across the way
from him raise their fingers and
shout McVay. thinking they were
saluting him. waved his hand back
again and again in returning what
he thought was a compliment of
recognition. AS the battles progress
ed the salutations kept up and Nc
Way began to use both hands in wav-
ing back.
After the main a sporting man
named Lott walked up to McVay and
said:
you're lucky. Here's what you
won," rendering him a large roll of
bills as large as head of lettuce.
"Won?" said McVay, why, I never
made a bet all night. What's the
matter with you?"
"Why you've been betting all
night" roared Lott.

McVay, Il wasn't aware of 1t ano

turnip.
Then explanations in order showed
McVay that by raising the finger II
was accepted by the sports that they
thought he had accepted their offel
to wager such an amount on the
main. The worst part of it was
that McVay didn't have enough ir
his clothes to even buy a round OF
drinks. But from the fact that he
might have lost-and then. Well
in many quarters finger betting has
been eliminated and now the bis

on all fighters as class. Nothing
does now but the real coin and nj

METHOD BY WHICH FARMERS INCOME
WAS INCREASED FROM $500 TO $4,000

A farmer in Adams county. Penn
sylvania. bought n rundown 70-acre
farm, IL years ago. This farm then
furnished feed for two horses and
six cows. The average annual in
come amounted to less than $500,
supporting In IA very common sort of
way Its owner and family.
Today this farm maintains 40 head
of cows and enough horses to do the
farm work. Last year the sales from
it reached nearly $4,000.
The change has been brought about
by intelligent farming. I'm which soil
ing. that is. keeping animals in
stables instead of pastures and feed
ing green crops to them. has been
one of the leading principles.
The first crop sown on this farm
Is oats and peas. which are sown as
early as possible. Remember these
are not the southern COW peas. but
the northern field pea. a plant very
similar to the garden peas. Ono
bushel OF peas and one and a half
bushels of oats per acre are mixed
together and put In with a grain
drill. or sometimes the peas are sown
alone, covered with a disc. then the
oats are sown and narrowed In. This
crop Is ready to cut off for feed In
10 weeks after sowing and yields a
large amount OF valuable feed for the
dairy cows.
Two sowings are made of oats and
peas. one as early AZ possible. and the
next two weeks later,
