 Mir. Howells and wife went up to the sale of town lots at the new town of Los Vagus, Nevada, the first of the week with view to locating there if it proves the wonderful place represented. The Harvest
 The work of harvesting is going bravely on and the long strings of teams coming into town with their wagons piled high with sacks of grain bespeaks the plentiful character of the output. Mir. Drue Harrington reports that his field is yielding a shade better than twenty sacks of barley per acre, and number of others are turning out equally as well. It is not expected that much of the wheat will be cut, most of it being entirely ruined by the rust. It is believed that this can be avoided hereafter by sowing certain kinds of wheat. Mir. Bixby. who lives three miles southeast from Imperial, has crop of Phillipino wheat that has not suffered from the rust and has made a good crop. This is an interesting ex- pertinent and if the wheat IS good quality will settle the wheat question for this Valley.
 On Wednesday evening May 1l the friends of John A. Morrison to the number of about thirty-fve assembled at his home on Imperial avenue in honor of his departure for Calexico where he will remove at an early date. Mr.. Morrison and family have been for several years residents of Imperial and the fact that they are to leave us is | to be deplored. They have greatly en- deared themselves to all by their gemer- ous thoughtfulness and high Christian character. The evening proved very merry one for every guest A great deal of amusement was elicited by the | able manner in which the men present attempted the fine art of working button holes. The first prize was earned by Mir. E. J. Norrisl, the second by Mir. Will J. Preston. Light refresh ments were served. The guests with drew at about midnight with many kindly spoken regrets at the loss of the estimabe host and hostess from their midst

It is ex- pected that after they have satisfied themselves concerning the legal phases of the bonding proposition, they will go to Yuma and will carefully investigate the canal intakes at the Colorado river, in order that they may have informa- ton at first hands. It is proposed that they get boat and make the journey from the Colorado river to Sharps' Heading, in the canal. It is reported that the inlet from the liver is washing larger, and the volume of water being diverted is increasing. Should the con dtiOn be serious the water companies may be called upon to help stop it.

REFEREE REVIVED HIM.

Eddie Smith, the San Francisco ref cree, tells very good story on a pugi- listic celebrity who, some time ago, en- deavored to work off a fake on the poor, innocent fight fans who congre- gate around the ringside in the burg of Oakland. Eddie was selected to referee the bout, and prior to the com mencement of the contest some one in- formed Smith that one of the partici- pants was to receive his quietus in a certain round. Everything went along swimmingly until the crucial moment arrived. Just as the two fighters broke from clinch the man who was to go out sank to the floor with an awful look of pain on his visage. He grasped his breadbasket and then collapsed. The referee tenderly picked him up in his arms, and in stage whisper said: If you don't get up and fight you get no mazuma." What's thatY' sudden ly cried the man who was supposed to be in the land of dreams, produced by the knockout wallop that came from the mitt of his opponent. The shock that the purse strings would be closed was so great that the pug whose body had been so limp that it hung like a wet dish rag in the referees arms, i'm mediately assumed such signs of life that he was on his feet, fighting Ike a demon in an instant.

HOW GARDNER WON.

George Gardner of Lowell returned to the ring again on last Monday night at Ogden. Utah, where he met Billy Stift of Chicago in ten round bout. Stiff, who Is a hard puncher himself, was knocked out in the fifth round. Stiff, although having the advantage in weight, did not appear to be in the best of condition. He was sluggish in his movements and was wild in his boxing. Gardner showed to advantage from the start and hammered Stiff without let up in almost every round. He did not escape unscathed, how ever, for the Chicago man reached him repeatedly with rights and lefts. De spite the punishment he received Gard ner had Stift in a groggy condition, and in the fifth finished him with a wicked right on the point of the jaw.

AN INGENIOUS HEN BOOST
Here Is Scheme Which Has No Patent or Expense Con-
 nected with It.

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 1t 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-house we drive a stake, possibly three inches in diam eter, until it is firm. and about 30 inches in height. The top end is then sharpened somewhat, and on this is

 Feature at sheepshead Bay.
 NEW YORK, June 21.-James B. Brady's Oiseau, an added starter and hot favorite at 8 to 5, easily won the Swift stakes, seven furlongs straight away, at Sheepshead Bay. Mir. Brady had originally intended to start Water Light, but when the track was made heavy as a result of rain in the morn ing he decided to start Oiseau and withdraw Water Light The field that was pitted against Olseau was ordi- nary. The field ran close together to the bend, where OIseau took command and won by length from the 20 to 1 shot Pasadena. who was head in front of Dandelion.
 Gallavant, backed from to to to 1, won the Zephyr stakes in drive by a length and half from vagabond, an added starter, with the favorite, Security, third.

placed the old wheel of an express buggy. putting it on snugly. so it will not rock, or turn. You then have a perch that das no high places. does not touch the walls at any point. and on such a wheel. 25 hens can easily find roasting room. It is impossible for them to go walking about" and they sit there in a bunch, snug and warm. This wheel perch is very cleanly and when attention is needed to be called to it, it is easily lifted on the spindle and laid on a little burning straw and purified or 1t can be wet down where 1t is with an atomizer or sprayer and a little sheep dip or like preparation. There is no reason why with a larger flock than 25 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-gorounds!
 We built a square. tight floor over this roost about foot larger than the diameter of the wheel, and about two feet above it, and then put a 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 inclosure. In one corner of this inclosure, we have a -hopup- block" and the hens quickly find this
 warm roost. for sitting together in a 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
 In the hen-house by the south win dow, where the sunshine can fall into it we have . half barrel nearly full of very dry road dust and hard coal ashes. and the way the chickens dust themselves,- is . caution.

FOWL HINTS.

Put . few tar-camphor balls under the sitting hen to drive away the lice.
 High perches cause sore toes on tho heavy fowls. Put the perches loweR down.
 Shells and gravel are the millstones with which the hen grinds her grist. The miller must have his stone; O must the hen.
 Use kerosene freely on the roosts and other woodwork of the hen houses these days. Uncomfortable hens are improbable hens.
 When cholera appears in the flock, give no water save that in which pokeroot has been boiled. This isl both . preventive and . cure.
 One man will win with one kind oe' hen end another with some other breed. It is with hens a 1t 10 with COWS. We should choose the breed veI like the best and then stick to it.
 Hens need a better place on which to roost than the trees around the house. Of course. they may survive. there; but merely living. and return ing . good profit are two diGsrsntI things.

MANAGER oURLEY REPLIES.


 Waterbury, Conn, June 21, 1905. Sporting Editor Democrat:
 Sir: Having noticed an item in this mornings issue of the Waterbury Re- publican with the signatures of Lewis Cronan, manager, and Joseph Slavin. assistant manager, of the Company G base ball team, would like to rack the managers memory little as a starter.
 Now, a week ago received several offers to play games out of town for Saturday, June IT. but as We were booked to play Bristol that day, and knowing that both the Company G and Moonlight Consolidated teams had no games, I therefore gave each team a game out of town. The Company G team was defeated in Litchfield and the Moonlights in Ivoryton. That same night, Saturday, June IT, after arriv- ing home from Litchtield, Manager Cronan asked me to give his team a game at the Driving park, but told him would let him know later, for at the time I had letter from North lmpton, Mass, which team wanted us to play on June A, but I have decided not to play them until the latter part of July.
 Now, when Manager Cronan states he never sought a game with the Inde pendents he is making wrong state ment. for he spoke to me about it on several occasions. Furthermore, he states in the article that the only rea- son why they do not play winner take all is on account of the crowd, also that past experiences tell of the result of playing on the Riverside grounds without proper police protection.
 As for proper police protection, we have played but two home games. one with Springfield state league and the other last Saturday with the Bristol Consolidated team, and we would like to have Manager Cronan thoroughly understand that we had special police men on the field at both games, and will leave it to the public whether the crowd interfered or not.
 Another thing we would like to have the public understand is that no mat ter who the club is that brings a team here from out of town, we shall not interfere with them in any man. ner or form, for we can secure all of the games we wish to handle out of town, so we will not buck them any way, as it was told to us if we didn't wish to play they would bring teams here from out of town and bet they would draw the crowd and buck us. This will never happen, for we will play all out of town games rather than interfere with any other club bringing teams here.
 We will play their team and give them any side bet they wish and win enr to take all of the gate receipts, or if they wish not to charge any admis- sion, we will gladly accommodate them providing they put up $10O for a side bet on the game, and both teams to use all local players, no ringers al lowed.
 Now, we do not wish to play this game through the papers, so the only thing for them to do is to put up for felt with the sporting editor of the Democrat for side bet and thus get the two teams together.
 Thanking you for your valuable space allowed us and hoping at the same time to see the two teams meet in the near future, we await an early reply.

 GEORGE F. MULLIGAN. Captain,
 Waterbury Independent Team.

BASE BALL NOTES.

"Now we are going some." shouted a fan in Washington the other day when one of the home team progressed as far as third base.
 Bobby Lowe did some star fielding in his old stamping ground, Boston. in the Boston-Detroit games last Saturday. Drives that looked like hits were meat for him. and he gathered in ten flies in the two games.
 Time was when college teams ac- cepted every decision of the umpire without a murmur. That was req, sportsmanship. The Columbia team went so far last Saturday as to forfeit a game because of a decision.
 A seething kick arose fin Boston last Saturday over whether Dick Cooley scooped a fly ball or not In these ad- vanced days of the pad. the indicator and the mask. the umpire might add field glasses to his stock of accessories.
 All things considered. the Harvard. Yale series will come pretty near de ciding which is the best college ball team of the east And if Jackson pitches as we'll as he did against Princeton last Saturday the mighty Coburn will have no walkover.
 In the Yale Princeton game. while one side was waiting for the first man up on the other side to come to the bat the latter process involving a long time. the infelders kept in practice by singing a ball around It was not the ball in play. but each side had pro vided itself with another ball for the purpoee. and the ball was thrown fc the bench when play vas resumed Incidentally.

TERRY ROGERS QUITS.

Bridgeport, June 21.-The report tel egraphed Monday night from New Ha- ven to several newspapers to the ef. feet that President Sturgis Whitlock of the Connecticut Base Ball league had remitted the fine of $50 and raised the suspension of Terry Rogers, is without foundation. According to a statement made yesterday by Secre- tary O'Rourke, President Whitlock has done nothing of the sort, and he and the league proposed to fight the in- junction that Rogers had prayed out There was to be hearing yesterday on the matter, but Rogers withdrew the suit.

The eggs in daily number for weeks averaged two-thirds the number of the hens. We do not profess very much hen knowledge, but feel pretty sure if the hen.house is made free from air currents. and is dry and the hens can be fixed so that they will sleep warm, and besides abundant food have fine bone and plenty of gravel (not frozen solid) and pure wa- ter to drink, there is a fair chance for the farmer to have eggs in the winter-if he has young hens.
