Creations in Agriculture.
he Seattle Post-Intelligencer.

From the Seattle PostIntelligencer.'
The Walla Walla Argus announces that
an Elberton farmer has perfected a new
variety of field corn which is proving a
wonder among the agricultural population.
The grain is a hybrid white sort. having
twelve rows of kernels and good-sized cobs
1t was obtained by Tong experimenting in
the handling of five distinct varieties. One
large field, planted this season, issestimated
to produce forty bushels per acre. That is
considered an excellent crop in a country
where the old settlers entertain the idea
that corn will not mature. 1t Is a val
liable crop for supplying food for fattenins
hogs and stock for market.
Agriculture is an old science which has
passed through many stages of improve
ment. Its text books are constantly chang
Ing to meet the demand for up-to-date
literature. New creations are coming to
the front and necessitating the rearranging
of encyclopedias of information. A few
years ago there was no such thing as an
irrigation, canal. The development of that
great modern idea belongs to the west The
day of intensive agriculture has reached
only its first half of noontide. 1t is COL
lecting material and adding new conquests
every year. So 1t is in every atenue Of
modern farming.
There is an opportunity for every man
and woman to get to work and create
new things in agriculture. The world Of
soil tillers seeks new cereals, grasses and
flowers. Corn is only one of the big list
that may be improved. Men have made
fortunes in discovering new grasses and
potatoes. new rose always finds some
Individual anxious to exploit 1t as a finan-
cial winner. Throughout the garden, or
chard and vineyard are scores of opportuni-
ties for developing something that will
make a fortune for the promoter. Such
successes come to those who work for them
andt follow the plans In systematic order
The world has not reached its highest
stage in agriculture. There are more fields
to conquer. The future offers greater emol-
uments than in any age Of the past. Stu
dents who give time and attention to the
work will reap their rewards. No place
suggests a better land for exploitation of
farming plants than the state of Washing
ton. There is everything in climate, soil
and markets to encourage the energetic ex-
perimenter Here is another one of the
many possibilities open for the young man
of today. Let him take advantage of the
opportunity,

What He Was Looking For.
ON the London Mirror

From the London Mirror.
An English naval officer tells this story
of a servant named Andrews: I'VE were
practicing with pistol in my brother
quarters and Andrews was in the small
dressing room adjoining when a ball went
through the door and clipped off part of an
ear. Most men would have made some re-
mark. He did not, and we knew nothing
about it until, by chance, looking into the
room. we saw him cropping about under the
table for something he had lost. What are
you looking for. Andrews?' said my brother
He drew up. stood at attention, and replied
in an apologize tone. as II deprecating his
masters wrath: i was only looking for a
bit of my ear as come off when you fired

There Is young fellow down in New York by the name of Martin J. Lydon, who is making all the athletes down around that section of the coun- try open their eyes as he corrals all the principal prizes. Young Lyden is only a boy in years but he has the speed and ability of ap old athlete.

He won the one hundred yard dash in ten sec onds, scoring five points. he was sec ond in the three hundred yard hurdles making four points. he was first in the broad jump. making twenty feet. pine and one half inches. which gave him five points more. This gave him four teen points in all and as that was the greatest number taken Jy any athlete he was presented with solid gold shield. A silver tea sci wns the prize for the one yard win aiiG \ silver cup for the broad jump He now holds the all around championship of the I. C. A. union for the year :DO6.

PRESTIGE BREAKS DOWN.
vanderbilt's Great Three. Year. Old
 Goes Wrong.

William K. vanderbilt's 3-year-old colt Prestige, which campaigned for two seasons in France and never was beaten, has broken down. The fetlock joint of one leg has been in bad con- dition for some time and just before the Grand Prix the horse broke down. Horsemen in France are full of sym pathy for Mir Vanderbilt, as Prestige was exceptional. Prestige won seven races as a 2-year-old and nine the year following, and in all won more than $7O.500 for his owner. This is a considerable sum for the French turf. Prestige probably would have won more this season but for the fact that Mir Vanderbilt thought so little of him that he did not enter him early for any of the big 3-year-old events at Longchamps or Chantilly.

THE .PUGlLlSTS
GREAT BATTLE
 ON TONIGHT
Joe Wolcott Will Reenter the Ring After a Long Absence Other
 Fight News.

Boston, July 10.--The first real battle for the welterweight cham pionship since Joe Walcott and Joe Cans went to a twenty round draw on the Coast will take place before the Lincoln Athletic club in Chelsea tonight. when Walcott. the present holder of the title. clashes with Jack Dougherty, the warrior from the west.
 Walcott has been training for weeks in anticipation of this fight, while Dougherty has been pointed by his manager, Frank Mulkern, for the past two months to meet the Black Demon. Walcott's injured hand is all to the good, 1t is said. and he retains no traces of the wound caused by bullet last winter. He is down to weight GAP pounds) and expects to have no trouble in holding down until he stops ons the beam to- day at o'clock.
 Dougherty's appearance has inn pressed the Boston fight fans with the idea that he is real fighter, and that Walcott is up against stiff proposition. The distance, fifteen rounds. suits the westerner. who dis likes the short six and eight round affairs prevalent in Milwaukee.
 Very little betting has taken place. the only large wager being one of $500 by Dougherty's manager. Mulkern. against an event amount on Walcott.

NEW HAVEN TRAINER.
Harry Ganlev to Keen Ball Players
 in Condition.

Owner C. J. Danaher of the New Haven baseball club has engaged Harry Ganley. for years an assistant trainer of Yale athletes. to keep the members of the New Haven team in condition. Ganley assumed his duties this morning and to begin with he has a couple of patients in Burke and Fitzpatrick who, for the past few days, have been troubled with more or less serious attacks of the Charley Horse.
 Ganley has worked on Yale ath- letes for a number of years. and is not lacking in knowledge or experi- ence in his line of business. He has worked under all of the Yale trainers in recent years and from them has imbibed a thorough knowledge of the work of conditioning athletes and keeping them in condition.
 Not all of the clube in the league have trainers to attend to their phy- sical condition and the New Haven club has not had such a director fin years. However. New Haven Is this year making a strong bid for the pen- nant and it's chances of winning the rag. might be blasted by some lit- tie trouble with one or more of the best players. which trouble if proper ly handled at its beginning would not have been sufficient to case their re- tirement from the game. It is to keep his present team in shape 10 play that MT Danaher made this move.
