A Chicago dispatch says: Thirty
six million dollars went into farmers
pockets during January as result of
the phenomenal shipments of hogs
which poured into Chicago, Kansas
City and other points because the high
prices of corn made feeding unprof-
table 1t is estimated that 100000
hogs reached primary receiving points
in the Mississippi Valley in January.
This breaks all previous January rec
ords, including the one made in JAN
uary, 1901.
In addition to this, another $4,000
900 worth of porkers were slaugh-
tered on the farms. Taking the coun'
try as whole, it is the heaviest rum
of hogs in trade history. The cattle
trade is in rut at present, and prices
for sheep and lambs are low. The
hog movement, however, proves the
soundness of the livestock business
in the West, and successfully disposes
of the theory that the present indus
trial depression is based on any real
depreciation in value of the natural
resources of the country.

check on growth and development, is
becoming a settled practice among own
ers and feeders of live stock.
1t is a well-established principle that
bitter tonics strengthen digestion, that
iron builds rich blood in abundance and
that nitrates remove from the system
the clogging poisons that are not less
deadly because their action is slow. 1t
sometimes happens in feeding cattle or
hogs that the gain of months is almost
completely lost by mistaken idea OF
economy which prevented slight outlay
for the food tonic"
This is sample of the same old pol
icy which saves at the spigot to waste
at the bung."
Continuous and rapid growth or fat
ting is impossible without daily doses
of this beneficial tonic preparation.
Keep that in mind and remember that
back of the idea is the Endorsement OF
such men as Professors Winslow, Quit
man and Finley Dun, noted the country
over as experts in all that relates to
veterinary medical practice.

S. L. Pier reported to the Chehalis
Bee-Nugget recently the birth of trip
let calves. Apparently all three were

pied one to death, laid down on Sec
ond, and the third is alive and as
healthy as any calf. This is an un-
usual occurrence. Frequently two
calves are born at once, but very rare
ly does one hear of triplets.

MATCHED HORSES.

There is decided advantage in
having a matched team of draft hor-
ses, especially when 1t comes to SELL
ing them in the open market. There
is an increased value of from % to
40 per cent in team that is perfectly
matched as to color, size, conforma-
ton and pulling power. A matched
team is not only more attractive in
appearance, thus furnishing an asset
to the city buyer but they are actu-
ally more valuable from the stand
point of efficiency.
In view of the above facts 1t is ad-
vantageous for a farmer to endeavor
to send matched teams rather than in
dividuals to market as good match
ed team will usually bring far more
than the individuals would sell for
separately. In selling horses on the
market it should be remembered that
the buyer is guided first by appear
ance, which includes amount Of flesh
and grooming and 1t is also after pur-
chasing that he learns efficiently.

w. MIG, Winslow, Wash: Can you
give me a cure for red water, which
has caused considerable loss OF STOCK
in this locality? What is the cause
of it?

the following: Sulphate iron potion,
1 pound; nux vomica, potion, pound;
soda bicarbonate, 1 pound; dose, one
tablespoonful in good, wholesome
food three times day; be sure and
feed well.
J.. M, Edgecomb, Wash: We have
a cow that always wants to make
water when we milk her. Can that
be a disease, or is it a habit. Can
something be done for her?
Answer-It is merely a habit, which
can be overcome by using strap
around the body Immediately in front
of the udder Use a slip band over
back and buckle tight.

Twice only in the annals of pugilism
has a colored man been permitted to
fight for the title emblematic of world s
champion heavyweight pugilist. Peter
jackson tried it with John L. Sullivan,
but Sullivan would not consent to go.
After James J. Jeffries took the scalp
of Bob Fitzsimmons he took on Hank
Griffin at Los Angeles but the colored
man was easy for him and never mad
a chance to win the honor He was
knocked out in four rounds. Jeffries
then drew the color line and several
years later retired.
Johnson had tried to get on a fight
with him, unavailingly.
Then Tommy Burns, or Noah Brus-
so, as his name really is, took up the
mantle of Jeffries. Since then and un-
til today Johnson has endeavored TO
get him into the ring, declaring that
he was Burns master.
The fight was for a purse of $4,000,
of which Burns received $4,000, john
son $4,000. The ring was 24-foot one
and was pitched in the center of big
arena built especially for the purpose
at Rushcutters bay. The bout was to
have been for twenty rounds.
The day dawned overcast and cool
Thousands of persons from all parts of
the country were attracted to the scene
of the encounter, and many reached
lnefb CnIiSlHldS uaSil anu SlSpN III liz
open. They came by street cars, auto
mobiles, carriages and on horseback,
and at 10 o'clock this morning, one
hour before the fight was scheduled to
start, every seat was occupied.
The price of seats ranged from $3.50
to SOS. The crowd was estimated at
between $4,000 and 10000 persons, and it
kept perfect order throughout the fight
A brass band enlivened the holiday
throng.
Before the contestants entered the
ring Bill Squires, who thrice has been
defeated by Burns, challenged the win
ner. Burns weighed in at 16s pounds
and johnson at 1872.
The betting was to 4 on Burns at
the start but it veered in few rounds
to to on Johnson.
The spectators conceded that john
sons victory was due to his physical
advantage over Burns. his superior
knowledge of the fight game and his
unruffied demeanor while being taunted
by the champion.
The stakes were paid the men while
thew were in the ring.
Then the battle began.

DISGUSTED WITH FIGHT
Learn They Have Been "5iIked" in
Mill Between White and
Pratt, and Want
Revenge

SAN BERNARDINo. Dec. 25.-Many
local fight fans are sore at the manner
in which they were bilked on the al
legged fight between Herb White and
Freck Pratt, in which the latter was
knocked out in the first round.
1t was branded by many as a fake
at the time, but since it has leaked out
that the fight was not on the square
and that certain manipulators cleaned
up several hundred dollars in bets or
the contest, considerable indignation
has been expressed. Pratt will not ap-
pear in the ring here again.

FIGHT BY ROUNDS
Round One

After a few moments Of preliminary
sparring Johnson reached Burns With
sharp uppercut and the Canadian
went to the floor, remaining there for
the count of eight. He signaled to his
seconds that he was all right, however,
and when he arose sailed in for john
sons body. Johnson swung a hard
right to the head and Burns staggered
backward nearly across the ring from
the impact of the blow. Then Burns,
rushing in, planted a Light of great
force on Johnson's chin and by an eX-
cellent display of boxing warded Off a
return. Johnson, nevertheless, man
aged to put through a stinging left to
the head at the sound of the gong.
Round Two
When the bell changed johnson
yelled across to the approaching Burns
"Come right on,'' and he swung his
right and landed on Burns chin. The
champions ankle gave way under him
and he went down. He vas up imme-
diately, however, and Johnson got TO
close quarters with him and placed his
right and left to face and body. Burns
left eye here commenced to swell. john
son thus far had the better of the bat
tle The big black man was coming
all the time and he swung a terrific
left into Burns stomach. Burns was
doing but little. He was bleeding from
the mouth ana apparently Was llT6u
The men were clinched as the bell
rang.
Round Three
Burns swung his right to Johnson's
head and then did some wonderful ex-
ecution at infighting, chopping his
light to the ribs frequently. Johnson
during the round landed some terrific
blows to the kidneys.
Round Four
When they met in the center of the
ring Johnson shot a heavy right into
Burns ribs. The men talked wildly to
each other, each seemingly intent on
getting the other excited. During the
jeering thy spared fiercely, but few
blows being struck. Then johnson
swung left to the body and Burns
brought his right to the head. Johnson,
closing In, threw a terrific right and
left to the head Of the Canadian. The
bell found the men in hard clinch.
Round Five
Apparently refreshed by his minutes
rest, Burns started the round brislly,
landing his right on Johnson's head
and punching the body with both
hands. johnson managed to slip over
a few rights TO the head during the
round.
