ENGLISH JACK O'BRIEN.

Throwing down the gauntlet to Matty Baldwin, Terry McGovern, Jimmy Britt or any of the good ones, English Jack O'Brien yesterday through his manager, James Francis Sullivan, signifled his willingness to post forfeit and make substantial side bet to meet any of the trio. O'Brien is sturdy fellow, strong and with the typical square ard sub- stantial jaw of the fighter. He has been doing the greater part of his boxing in the south.

Canning on the Farme

X. w. Morgan, in Farm and Ranch. But, first, I want to speak of steam
 canning factories. All the readers ol this valuable paper well know that in
 the past, canning factories have been
 built in many places in Texas to be operated a season or two and then go
 defunct.
 | This Is not because the factories are | insufficient, for nearly all sizes have
 been built. Nor is 1t because the pro-
 duce could not. be grown. What. then
 is the cause of all this waste of money
 material. brains and labor? We shall
 soon see.
 I will invite your attention to the condition of affairs along the Atlantic coast, with Maryland as the center These States embrace the greatest
 garden country in the Union. These truck farmers are at the doors of the largest marts of our country. hence, transportation expenses with them ard virtually eliminated There the largest canneries are located. but bear In mind that these truckers do not pledge so
 many acres" for a factory. The truck
 Is raised for the cities and often the
 market Is glutted, or a poor quality of
 unmarketsble produce is left on the
 farmers hands. and as his Yankee wis.
 dom has taught him to save all that he produces, this surplus is shipped to the
 canning factories, where 1t is packed
 ant sent to all-the-year- around mar
 kets which are never glutted. Thus
 they secure the market at home and
 abroad. They get top prices for their
 early products, and the canning factory lives on what could never be otherwise uttlizei.
 When will the Texas farmer learn to
 kill two birds with this stone? The Texas farmer may learn a lesson ot economy from our sis-sr State, Arkan- sas. 1 mean the ozark fruit belt which has the nalne Of being tEe home of the

SHOWS AT THE FAIR
NUMEROUS ATTRACTIONS HAVE BEEN ENGAGED.
President Vandiver of Agricultural Asa soctnti0n Returns from Hot Springs and Talks of Con- tracts He Has Made.

Contracts have been signed by the Alabama Agricultural Association for number of exhibitions to be given at Vandiver Park October 22 to October 27. during the big fall fair by the par- ker Amusement Company of Abilene Kansas.
 This announcement was made yes- tsrday afternoon by President W. F. Vandiver of the Association, who rec turned yesterday morning from Hot Springs, Ark. where he went to att tend q meeting of the Southern Cot ton Association. of which he Is a uem- Der.
 While absent from Montgomery.~ .~ said Mir Vandiver. T made contracts with the amusement company to fur- 1 nish numerous attractions at our fair. MT. Parker, who is at the head or tha company, is a large manufactures of amusement devices and owner of fair shows. had heard of his company and I was anxious to get his attrac-
 tions for our fair. One of his repre-
 sentatives met me by appointment In
 Hot Springs and after careful investl- I gation l closed contracts with him l The public may rest assured that wa will have nothing but the cleanest
 shows that are to be had and no im-
 moral features will be allowed on the | grounds. ]"
 Among the attractions to be pro-
 vided by the Kansas Company are a
 trained wild animal show including 1 lions and bears. "A Day in the Alps. "Superba," Creation" a panorama Of the beginning of the word, 'Katzen- | jammer CastIe,' an Electric Theatre, Hale's Tours, a Ferris wheel, merry go-round, a vaudeville theatre and three free attractions, consisting of q
 daring bicycle act. a high dive by a woman and leaping the gap. These
 free attractions will be given each
 morning and afternoon of the fair. The company providing these shows
 employs over 800 persons and the shows | will come to Montgomery in two spe- cial trains of twenty-six cars. l While Mir. vandiver went to Hot | Springs to attend the meeting of tho
 Cotton Association Committee he was | alive to the interest of the fall fair
 and he took occasion to meet the rsp~
 resentatives of the amusement conn pany and arrange for the attractions.
 Mir. Vandiver declined to talk, about
 the meeting of the Executive Commft-
 tee of the Cotton Association. He said | that he had been invited to address the | Montgomery County Association at it's
 meeting tomorrow morning and that
 his address would be in the nature of a report on the action of the Execu- | tive Committee In view of this fact | he said he would not discuss the meet- | ing of the Committee.

Co-vueas for Hogs--sowing Oats WI un4,A or Eaurr Glover.

ro-vueas for Hogs--sowing Oats With
 vetch or Burr Clover.
 Your recent letter is at hand, stat ing that you had been told that If hogs were turned on cowpeas they will nave kidney worms and probably die Tnere is no foundation whatever for tnis. We find cowpeas an excellent feed for nogs, whether green or dry, but most useiul when some corn Is fed with them think it unimportant whether you SOW the vetch and oats broadcast or wnetn- CT you drill the oats and SOW the vetch broadcast The important thing IS so inoculate the vetch seed, which IS pcs, done by sowing with the seed a hnerai allowance of the soil from field Wnere yetch or garden peas have grown anu borne tubercles. If you SOW as many pounds of vetch as of oats the cost WIT VIII he too great I should sow about tWo ts bushels of oats per acre and one-nail bushel of vetch.
 Burr clover can be grown alone or with oats but the planting of burr clover should be done as promptly as possible, and the method of planting burr clover and oats can be as YOU pro- nose. If you plant Southern burr clover in the burr no inoculation will be nec- essary to inoculate with soil from an old burr clover or alfalfa field. Oto J. F. D.

STILL SCRAPPNG
REPUBLICANS LOSING CHANGES
 IN ALABAMA.
Party DissensiOn VIII Prevent Any Possibility of a Roosevelt Fol- lower Being Elected Even to the Legislature.

Birmingham. Sept. 9.-Special.)- Notwithstanding the activity on the part of Republicans in Alabama very few if any will be elected to office in the November election.
 It is certainty that there will not be an anti-DemoaFat elected to Con- gress. Very few, if any Republicans will go to the Legislature. though a number will seek such honor. The Republican party in Alabama is so hopelessly split that 1t is not believed that if a convention is called and a State ticket is put out that half the votes recorded in the last State elec- tion will be cast. There is a fight on in the Republican party for the com trol of the party.
 J. o. Thompson, the chairman, who is Collector of Internal Revenue and is a referee of the President in this State, appears to be holding the win ming hand Julius W. Davidson, who aspires to the chairmanship of the party, is leading a strong movement to bring pressure on the State Commit tee to call convention and nominate State ticket
 It Is believed that if such a conven. tion is called that some steps will bt taken looklhB to II chahse III Hiatlas S ment of party affairs in the State The primary election which was tt have been held this month will be de- clared off in the next few days and according to authoritative statements the State Committee may name the State ticket
 Such proposition is bitterly oppos- ed and strong fight is being made even so far as to send notices of the contentious to the national powers Resolutions have been adopted declar- ing office holders in this State to be taking active parts Tn politics. se | far there have boen no personal diff | faculties among tho Republicans, but considerable i'll feeling prevails In tht ranks of that organization.

promptly. An effective seeding can also be made more cheaply with the threshed seed. which sell at about twenty cents per pound. However. in using the threshed seed 1t is nec- essary to inoculate them, an operation which is unnecessary when seed are
 sown in the bur. This is because the burs carry dust from the field where
 they were grown and this serves as in-
 oculating material.
 To inoculate bur clover one may
 use the soil either from an old bur clover field or from an old alfalfa field, in which case as large an amount of soil as practicable, say 1000 to D. | 900 pounds per acre. is desirable. How ever. if only a small amount of soil | is available part of this may be made with water into a kind of thin soup, into which the seed may be dip- ped and subsequently, dried by sprink- | ling over the damp seed another por- tion of the same inoculating soil is a powdered condition.
 Bur clover when young is somewhat tender toward cold, or at least Is easily killed by the alternate freeing and | thawing of the ground, hence the young plants should have germinated l by October 1. which means that the | burs should be sown early in Septem-
  during September. In sowing any small seed at this time of year there | is danger from deeply prepared loose seed bed. Hence if preparation must be made before the seed are sown | 1t would be better not to blow clean mellow fields that have been occupied l by well cultivated hoed crops. We have found 1t also true with crimson clover that on sandy soils the young plants grow off better when simply | narrowed in in the midst of the grow | ing cotton plants or between rows of l sorghum than when the land Is deeply plowed during September.
 The fertilizer requirements of bur clover have not been determined. but an application of several hundred | pounds of acid phosphate will proba- | bly, in most cases be sufficient, except on soils that are acid, in which case | the broadcast application of at least I,000 pounds of slaeked lime per acre | is desirable
 Since the cost of obtaining a thick stand from the use of Southern seed | is teo great. $4.00 to $500 per acre, ii | is often we'll to obtain a more inexpen-
 sive start by drilling the seed in
 rather wide drills and allowing the plant to mature seed ne5st May, using about one bushel of seed per acre, cost l ing about $200 This plant can be l followed tn cotton or corn fields as we'll as in pasture land. To use this method on land that Is to grow corn
 next year, the drills for bur clover should be marked out rather shallow at the same distance intended for the corn rows next year. In the early | cultivation of corn, the bur clover | row must be left as an uncultivated balk until the early part of June. by
 which time the plants will have ma tured seed, and can be turned under
 for re-seeding and for the improve
 ment of the land.
 Bur clover is not suitable for hay
 but is one of our best plants for win- | ter pasturage and for soil improve
 ment It can be grown as catch

part of field of oats standing at Ieast four inches high. and the crop had a much tanker growth where the manure was applied By spreading thinly and evenly the manure does not cause too rank a growth of straw, does not both CT in cultivation. nor cause the soil to dry out, and every part of the field re- ceives equal benefit. spreader saves at least one-haif the labor of the man, as I had much rather load than un- load and spread the manure with a fork.
 Our machine holds about fifty bush els when level full. but one can heap the load considerably. On long hauls have often piled up as high as the back of the seat except just at the back end. After running out a part O; the load when heaped up in this way, it is necessary to stop and throw the the box, but this cannot be done except with machine having continuous apron. This method .s quite a saving of time on one-half or mile hauls. On hauls of one?fourth mile I would con- sider two loads per hour good average work with partially rotted manure in a handy location.
 The spreader handles mapure of all kinds that can be handled with fork except large frozen Jumps. I have used it on all grades from finely routed to fresh manure from calf pen where rlenty of bedding had been used and the manure had been trarnpled for two or thre weeks. Of course. under such conditions the spre1der requires a lit- tie watching and if there Is tendency to clog. the .beater should be thrown of ths feed until t clears itself. I consider spresder paying invest ment for any farmer having a couple of hundred loads of manure to haul per year.-E. E. Tcmpkins in Farmers Tri- bune.

 We have found the Southern grown kind preferable to the California bur sIover. In sowing bur clover of etth- pr variety it is necessary to put .he bur in the ground early, for before termination can occur the soil must become settled or closely competed around the chaffy bur. Therefore, if seeding is done quite late, say October 1, there is some advantage in using the threshed seed, which germinates
