AT THE STAG.

New York, Dec. 21-Some fast fighting was seen by large crowd at the stag at the Consolidated Athletic club in West Forty-secOnd street last night Tommy Love or Philadelphia made his first appearance in New York, meeting Tony Bender of Eliza beth for three rounds. Loves show ing was somewhat of a disappoint- ment. He lacked punching ability and at times was slow. He started off with left /lead. Bender retaliated with right to the body. Then there was rapid exchange, both scoring with effect
 Love finished the round with a left uppercut but Bender blocked the punch. Love crossed the right to the head in the second. Bender smashed the body with the right. Love stuck out his left and Bender ran into two straight blows. Love seemed to tire in the third. Bender cornered him and reached him with lefts and rights. It was a fairly lively mill and a draw would have been just decision.
 Kid Murphy, 105 pound champion, tackled Al Fellows of England in the second encounter. Murphy landed a left hook on the body in the first. He followed this up with two rights stag gering the Briton. It was Murphy's bout from start to finish.
 The opening bout was between George Kitzen and Young Boogie, a protege of Joe Cain of Brooklyn. This was a fast contest. Boogie appeared to be the better man of the two.
 The next bout was between two ne groes, Tom Brown and Jack Hervey. Hervey made a couple of rushes, Brown ripped over the right to the jaw and Hervey went to sleep.
 Art Edmonds of Toronto met Kid Olsen. This was mill for keeps. Edmonds roughed Olsen all the way through and punched him hard Ol- sen was game but could not withstand Edmonds' rushes. Tom Markey of Philadelphia. who lowered at least two inches above Young Sullivan, had trouble in getting to his man. The result was a draw.

Winter EGGS Profitable.

Winter eggs are far more profitable
:han eggs produced in the spring or
summer. This is due to several rca-
cons. One is that there are fewer
eggs produced in the winter, and they
are higher on that account. Another
factor is that eggs are more uniform
~ good in the winter, and there is a
larger demand for them, especially in
Eotels, restaurants and railroad trains.
People that travel more generally
call for eggs in the winter than in the
summer. The cost of producing the
winter egg is not much greater than
the cost of producing the summer
egg, because in the winter the hens
have to be kept and fed whether they
are laying or not; and this winter
cost Of keeping has to be charged
against the production of the summer
egg If the hen produces eggs only in
the summer. Every farmer should
therefore try to secure most of his
eggs in the winter season.-Mary Pick
ering, Elkhart Co., Ind, in Farmers
Review.

Acid Strength of Vinegar.

In some of our states the pure food
laws regulate the strength Of vinegar.
and 1t is quite generally required that
cider vinegar shall have at least As
per cent of acetic acid. 1t Is assumed
that II the vinegar does not come up
to this requirement the product has
been adulterated by the adding of
water. Yet it Is fact that can be
demonstrated that some Of the cider
made from apples will not produce
vinegar that has the required amount
of acetic acid. This seems never to
have been considered by the legis.
lators. If partly ripe apples are used
or II the apples have passed beyond
their prime they sometimes do not con-
tain enough sugar to produce As per
cent of acetic acid in the vinegar. We
do not say that the law shou'" be
changed, but warn farmers to use
fully matured apples. IL is also the
part of wisdom to avoid the soaking
of the pomace with water and squeez.

may make no difference, but 1t may
II the vinegar Is to be sold on the
market. II cider has been made from
unripe apples or soaked pomace the
water content may be reduced by
giving 1t an opportunity to evaporate
a certain per cent of water while 1t
is undergoing the chemical changes
required to make 1t into vinegar.

Teaching Poultry judging.

We notice that in a publication de-
voted to poultry the author says that
there is no school that teaches poul-
try judging. We are certain that the
author is mistaken, because in the
colleges where poultry science is
taught, poultry judging is also taught.
1t is inconceivable that there should
exist a course in poultry raising with.
out some instruction being given on
Judging fowls. 1t is fortunate, too,
that our colleges are taking up this
matter, because many of the present
poultry judges are incapable of rem
dering correct decisions. One has but
to visit a great poultry show and talk
with the exhibitors of birds to be con.
WINGED that the judges are in many
cases poorly trained for their work.

A nervous, irritable mother, often on
the verge of Mysteries, is unfit to care
for children; it ruins a childs DISPOSE
ton and reacts upon herself. The
trouble between children and their
mothers too often is due 10 the fact
that the mother has some female weak
ness, and she is entirely unfit to bear
the strain upon her nerves that govern
ing children involves; it is impossible
for her to do anything calmly.
The ills of women act like firebrand
upon the nerves, consequently nine
tenths of the nervous prostratiOn. ner-
vous dependency. 1.-The blues" sleep
lessness. and nervous irritability of
women arise from some arrangement
of the female organism.
Do you experience fits of depression
with restleSsness, alternating with
extreme irritability? Are your spirits
easily affected, SO that one minute you
laugh, and the next minute you feel
like crying?
Do you feel something like ball ris-
ing in your throat and threatening to
choke you; all the senses perverted,
morbidly sensitive TO light and sound;
pain in the ovaries, and especially
between the shoulders; bearing down
pains; nervous dyspepsia, and almost
continually cross and snappy?
If SO, your nerves are in shattered
condition, and you are threatened with
nervous prostration.
Proof is monumental that nothing in
the world is better for nervous prostra-
ton than Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound; thousands and thou
sands of women testify to this fact.

The keiffer Pear.

The Keiffer pear is the most prom
tnent pear being grown east of the
Rocky Mountains. While it is not
lett, yet it is to-day more widely
grown than even that famous pear,
The keiffer occupies the place among
pears that the Ben Davis does among
apples. Like the Ben Davis, it's
quality is fair to poor, yet the tree
is such heavy bearer and can be so
depended upon to produce a crop.
that we find orchardists planting it
more extensively than any of the other
pears. 1t may be that its poor quail
ty comes largely from our ignorance
OF how 1t should be handled. An or.
chardist tells the writer that the Keif
fer is a very good pear II allowed to
hang on the tree until fully matured
and then laid away in a dark place
to mellow. In such a place it should
be kept for six weeks, and when taken
out will have a good flavor and
proper texture for eating. He says
that usually they are picked while
immature, although apparently of
good size, and that that accounts for
the very pronounceable lack of flavor
In this pear. / am not at all sure
that his opinion is correct, but Ger.
tainly now and then we do find some
Keiffer. pears that are very good for
eating raw. Tie principal growers of
Keiffers say that they do not consider
it as a dessert pear, but as a cooking
pear; but for a cooking pear we need
as high a flavor as for any other
purpose. If there is any flavor In
the Keiffer pear that ordinary treat.
ment does not bring out, it should be
secured through better treatment.
When large orchards of Keiffer
pears are planted, they should in no
case be planted by themselves. Some
other pear that blooms at the same
time should be planted with them
The CARRIER is regarded as the best
for this purpose. The Keiffer pear,
more than any other Of which we
know, requires to be cross-pollenized.
When left to the polarization with its
own pollen, 1t is very uncertain
| bearer, and more than one great or.
| chard has been cut down because the
owner did not know what to do TO
insure fruitfulness. Where an or
chard of Keiffer pears has been
brought to bearing age, and no trees
for cross pollenizing it have been
planted, years of time will be saved
by grating the branches with the
| varieties that should have been used
for enization.-Farmers Review.

Tonic for Exhibition Fowls.

Whether or not it is profitable to
feed tonics to fowls at any time may
be doubted, but we know that some
exhibitors of fowls do feed them these
tonics to keep up their stamina dur
ing their long days of confinement
while on the road for exhibition pur-
poses. There are many combinations
that are made, but some of them use
the following: Two ounces of carbon
ate of iron, some pulverized gentian
root, a little black anthony, some
mandrake, ginger, flower of sulphur
and powdered charcoal, with half a
pound of bicarbonate of soda. These
are mixed thoroughly, and one tea
spoonful of the mixture is stirred into
each quart of soft food given the
fowls. We cannot recommend this
from personal use, but it may be as
valuable as the users think it is.

CulIs.

Culls are birds that are taken out
IF the flock for various reasons. The
Gull is not always a poor bird. 1t
depends on the reason for the culling.
One man that is breeding birds for
exhibition culls out all that lack SYM
metry of form. In so doing he takes
out all the birds that have been laying
for long time, especially If they are
large producers of eggs. Laying to
large extent destroys the symmetry
of the body of the bird. In this case
the culls may be first-class layers.
They may be more valuable to the
general farmer than the show birds
that take large prizes. Another man
culls out the hens that are poor lay
ers, though sometimes some of these
culls are birds of fine form and feath.
er. The farmer that lives near a
fancier can pick out a fowl now and
then at a low price, yet of high
quality for his purposes.

Expensive MuIchinq.

Professor Green of Ohio some years
ago carried on a number of expert.
ments relative to the mulching of or
chards. He took orchards growing in
natural sod and mulched them with
straw that cost So per ton on the
farm where it was raised. In addi-
ton to this cost, there was a cost for
hauling. The grass in the orchard
was moved and left on the ground.
The test was comparative one, half
of the orchard being mulched, and
the other half kept cultivated during
the growing season. There was Sc
we're drouth that year, and the fruit
of the mulched trees withstood the
drouth much better than the fruit on
the cultivated ground. At the end OF
the season the results were so much
in favor of the mulched orchard that
the professor declared his belief that
mulching material would pay even at
So per ton. We would not, however,
recommend our readers TO undertake
mulching experiments when the
mulching material costs as much as
1t did in that experiment in Ohio.
Usually straw suitable for mulching
can be purchased at SO or 81 ton.
Even this is unnecessary on many
farms where there is very large
amount of material going to waste in
the form of swamp grass, sedges, cat
tails and weeds. Some Of our great
growths of sweet clover, stretching
for miles along the highway, could be
moved and used for mulching pur-
poses, after slight drying to prevent
their too rapid decomposition. II
mulching paid Professor Green, when
the raw material at distance cost
So per ton, it certainly should pay on
the farm where 1t costs only the
trouble of hauling it.

Rice Paper.

Most of our readers have seen
rice paper, which Is quite
largely imported from China. This is
made from a plant botanically known
as "fatsia papyrifera." The part used
is the pulp, which is split open and
pressed fiat, after which 1t is dried.
1t is used for painting on and also for
pen work. An attempt is to be made
to grow 1t in this country. and 1t has
been imported into Florida. The plant
belongs to the same family as gin
