Cans, at San Francisco, On July 4th,
thereby winning back the light weight
championship of the world, which he
lost TO Cans at Goldfeld, Nevada, two

would he the winner and he kent
pounding away at Cans weak spots
for seventeen rounds, when a blow
IN the point Of the stomach, put
the colored champion down and out,
and he sank on his hands and knees
with painful expression in his face

work which such ship does, and
has also proved that it is well to
q medical officer. AS was to be expect.
ed all the anticipations of trouble from
such a command have proved com.
pletely baseless. II Is as absurd to put

It would be to put a hospital on shore

Is no excuse for failure to realize 1t
now.
Nothing better for the Navy from
every standpoint has ever occurred
than the cruise of the battle fleet
around the world. The Improvement
of the ships in every way has been
extraordinary, and they have gained
far more experience in battle tactics
than they would have gained IL they
had stayed in the Atlantic waters.
The American people have cause for
profound qualification, both In view
of the excellent condition of the
fleet as shown by this cruise, and In
view of the Improvement the cruise
has worked in this already high con-
dition. ! do not believe that there
is any other service in the world In

HANDLING OF DRAFT MARES.

In accordance with a request / Will
state my method of handling draft,
mares and their colts. First j feed the.
mares a ration of oats, bran and some
corn or timothy hay and work them
moderately right up to the time of
foaling. When the time for them to
foal comes ! stay with them nights
and / think the best way If possible is
to have two double stalls adjoining, and
have them Well cleaned and disinfected
by spraying with creolin. / also scat
ter lime over the o and whitewash
the rest. ] keep the mare tied In one
stall until after she has the colt. and
as Don as the colt is born I disinfecr
the naval and cut ii about two inches
long and tie 1t. If possible i never let
the navel touch the floor until disin-
fected. For that / use cerolin In wa
ter for a wash and then use boracic
acid and prepared chalk three or four
times a day until the navel is dried
up. AS soon as possible after foaling
j take the colt into another stall, which
IL well bedded and dry. and when l
see the mare is strong enough to get
up all right. i put her in with the colt
loosely. T.. WEIGH.

PROPER CARE OF BROOD soWs


Sows by nature are not cannibals
and when they eat their pigs some
good reason will be found-generally
neglect on the part of the owner. If the
system of the brood SOW is natural and
her bowels not constipated, she may be
relied upon to be in good humo and
TO properly feed her young. IN the
other hand, If she is fretful and fever
ish she is apt to eat her pigs when
born. When brood sows are allowed TO
run on pasture and are properly fed
they very rarely eat their offspring.
J.. S. Woodward, q New York farmer,
says:
IF a SOW is compelled to live in the
barn yard. sleep in the straw stack and
fed only a little corn, she will be sure
to be feverish. constipated and have
little or no milk and 10 TO ! viii eat
her pigs if she doesn't lie on and
smother them before old enough TO
suck. We give u brood sows a good,
warm, dry pen in the basement, where
no frost is ever seen. We don't care
to have il overlarge-a pen 16 feet
square is ample for six or eight sows
up TO within two weeks Of narrowing,
after which each SOW should be put
into a separate pen six or eight feet
square and have only a small amount
of bedding and that should be OF chaff
or cut straw.
The best food for a brood SOW is
coarse wheat middlings or Teground
bran, or bran and middlings may be
mixed half and half. which should be
made into a stiff mass with skim milk
If possible; If not with the house Stops
or water.
Besides this she should have all the
clover or alfalfa nay she will eat; she
will eat a lot OF it. Besides all these
she should have at least four pounds Of
mangels or ugar beets to every 100
pounds of live weight every day. If
these be given hole she will get ample
exercise in eating them. If available
poor apples are q fine feed In place of
mangelS.
we one winter kept II sows in a
pen and fed nine bushels Of apples to
the lot each day in addition To 20
pounds OF coarse middling and all the
clover hay they wanted, II they came
through in apple pie order and
raised over 100 pigs.
In addition to the above the sows
should have access TO a box filled with
u mixture Of six parts charcoal, two
parts wood ashes, with two pounds OF
salt and a half pound of copperas TO
eac bushel.
The brood SOW should be fed just
enough to be kept thrifty and strong.
but not TO make her fat, and the
amount will depend upon the size Of
the animal. / need not say she should
have all the water she wants at all
times. 1t is also very desirable that
the sows be handled so as to be very
tame and quiet. II sOws are so treated
good filters of fine pigs will be assured
and the owner win be made happy

w. GLEASON,
The Turned Up Mustache.

me German emperor, William IL, is
generally regarded as the inventor of
the turned up mustache. This Is true
only as far as introducing 1t as a FASH
ion. 1t IA invented in the court of
Philip ", about 1925. That monarch
was the first to wear his mustache
turned upward, say the Detroit Free
Press. From the Spanish court the
fashion spread all over Europe. Charles
L., of England, Philips brotherinlaw,
and many members Of the Austrian
Hapsburgs adopted 1t. 1t came 10 Bel
GUM and was introduced into Ger
nan by the Spanish soldiers during
the 80 years war. 1t vas also found
in Sweden as we'll as in France UNI
der Louis XIII. Unde Louis XIV,
the beard went out OF fashion, and
during the time of Rocco the elegant
world knew only clean shaver faces
until the French revolution brought the
mustache again into use. But nowhere,
except in it's Spanish home. did the
mustache rise so e~xtravagantly as with
the German emperor n his imitators.

The lnvincibles.

Robley Evans has been a splendid
fighter, one of our very best fighters, in
his time: n no wonder"
The speaker. an aged resident of
Floyd county, Va, laughed.
"Robley was born with military ge-
MUS" he said. II showed military
genius from the cradle.
Il saw him, one day In his child
hood, playing tin soldier with another
boy. Each a a toy cannon that shot
rubber balls the size of marbles, and
each had an army of about 100 tin SOL
diers. The battle was a big gun affair.
The boy who Knocked over the most
of his opponents tin soldiers won.
"Robley always won. His cannon
balls would always destroy the oppos-
ing army while his own forces would
remain practically intact. Yet it
seemed to me. somehow, that RObley
shot very little, If at all better, than
the other boy.
The Virginian laughed again.
And, by Jove, he didn't either!" he
said. II had some kin Of paste on
the bottom OF his soldiers that glued
them upright to the floor"
