ATTEL AND WALSH
FIGHT TO A DRAW

SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 22-Refcree
Alvy King called the ffteeu-round con-
test between Monte AJteI and Jimmy
Walsh q draw, and the decision was
I'm accord with the work done The two
lads fought at top speed from the first
round to the last. while Attel landed
the greater number o. blows. the other
boy certainly scored the harder
punches.
Attel went to his launches several
times, but il was more from being over
balanced than from the effects OF
NaIsh's smashes- II was nip and tuck
FOR the first six rounds, and Walsh
struck trouble in the seventh. While
going through the motions or a left
shift ne left himself open, and Attel
crossed him neatly on the jaw. Walsh
WAS pretty badly battered. and he
showed the effects for a couple OF
rounds. After that the tide OF battle
ebbed and flowed. II looked in the
twelfth round as if Attel would be ham
mered through the ropes His face was
badly bruised, and ne was bleeding
freely as he went TO his corner. From
that point on il was a SlugEinE match
pure and simple. and there was moth
ing 10 choose between the two men at
the finish.

Yn1ue of Trap Nests.

To become convinced of the amount
Of good there is In trap nests, one
must use them. He will then find out
for a certainty which of his hens are
laying well and which are not. Per
haps he will be surprised to learn that
some Of the best egg producers he has
are apparently his poorest specimens.
This is quite likely to happen, for not
by any means is it always the finest
looking hens-the hens which would
score highest in the show pen-that
will lay the most eggs. Needless to say,
the best layers only should be kept. III.
flock is disgraced by egg-eaters, the
trap nest will pick the guilty ones out,
likewise the drone, so that the flock
may be cuIled until only profitable
stock is left AS but one hen can be
present at a time to lay. it also does
away with crowding and quarreling,
whereby the danger of breaking the
eggs In the nest is lessened. 1t indi-
Gates, too, which hens are the winter
layers, the layers of the most fertile
eggs, the most symmetrical ones and
the brown, the white and the speckled
ones. At the same time 1t necessi-
tates frequent handling by taking the
hens Off the nest, so that even the
widest birds become more tame, and
are less likely to scare. Summed up
briefly, it enables the breeder to get
in touch with the individual hen, ascer-
tain her good and bad qualities, and
satisfy himself of her general cond-
ton. The only objection that can be
raised against it, any way, is that 1t
requires a lot Of attention. The nests
want visiting every other hour, at
least, and every hour would be better,
through the day. For the shiftless
poultryman, therefore, they are IDLY
to be recommended.-Agri Eplt-

Minnesota, Wisconsin, Indiana. Oh,o

most cheering reports of prosperity In

by the increased attendance at each OF
the State fairs as compared with recen,

Practically all of the State shows this
year had greater numbers of rural Wis.

Were the farmers a little pinched for
money doubtless many of them would
have remained away from their State
fairs, viewing a few days study and
pleasure as a luxury which they could
not afford. This year, however, the
farmers turned out in record numbers
and spent more money than in former
years.-Goodall's Farmer.
