III what was advertised as 1O.round
boxing match. The mill was held in
the Barnes block on Leke street and a
small but ardent crowd Of deyotees Of
the sport saw one Of the fastest match
es ever put on here. While neither
man was in the best Of condition, they
appeared to be fairly evenly matched,
with Brace having the advantage of
height. II was Braces game from the
fourth round and in the middle of the
eighth the match was stopped to save
Mcfarland from knockout. Brace
was strong and fresh at the finish and
at once issued challenge TO anyone in
the state TO fight him any number of
rounds at 1873 pounds.

FALL FEEDING OF ALFALFA.

e. c. Hill, of Dawson, Neb., gives his
experience in fall feeding of alfalfa in
Wallace's Farmer. He says:
II lave alfalfa that is now IA years old.
IT was sowed In the spring and was only
half a stand TO begin with but IL made lots
of hay. / lost one crop. / have in recent
years secured two good stands by SOW
ing III the spsing. but found 1t necessary
to NOW the weeds down three different
times during the summer. Last harvest
/ had a good crop of soft wheat. Before
the wheat was taken off the field 1 set
over the shocks and plowed the stubble
six inches deep, narrowing 1t every night.
We plowed in all 10 acres and narrowed Tt
Is different times, then we sowed our al
falfa broadcast at the rate of between Is
and 20 pounds of rather light seed. In five
weeks the tallest plants were five inches
in height. / cut this crop for hay three
weeks ago and there was not a weed In 1t.
and it made between a ton n a ton and
a quarter TO the acre. / nave in previous
years sowed alfalfa on rye and wheat
stuoble. but never got as good astand as
in this case when ! sowed On the fresh
blowing. The reason / narrowed the field
so many times is because 1 had no sui
surface packer and / accomplished the
same purpose by narrowing.

Perfect China.

Perfection Is never attained. Some peo-
pie do not know this, because there are 50
many things made which come close TO tho
ideal, and in china the wares are so near
being perfect, hat the more particular
man or woman expects the superlatlve,
Take a china dinner set and examine 10
closely, and there will be foundm minor de-
fects In every piece; but so very small
that unless one has a microscopic eye they
win scarcely be discovered. The plates as
a rule are fairly straight, but pile them
up and a hypercritical person will find
that none OF them is exactly even. The
buyer who expects absolute perfection Is
unreasonable. Considering the intense
heat to which china is subjected. the
wonder is that there is not more ~inexact-
ness.
Some years ago the Duke of Sunderland
ordered from the Royal Worcester Porce-
lain Works a jeweled cup which he desired
to present to the queen. His orders were
that it was to be perfect" no matter
what the cost. MIR. Binns the elder de-
termined that IL II were possible the d.
rections should be followed. About 300 at
tempts were made before a satisfactory
article was produced. AT last one came
out so near right that 1t passed. Was IL
perfect? To the ordinary eye, yes; but on
examination 1t was found that all the
jewel points were not of the same size and
length. 1t was, however, as near perfect
as any piece OF china that was ever made,
or ever will be. II cost the pottery some
thing like 800 gnineas. or $1,50o. and it was
only about as large as an ordinary coffee
cup.
DO not expect absolute perfection in
china. but be thankful that modern
science has enabled the potter TO produce
as good ware as he does. III you will com
pare the choice collections in the muse
ums of the world with even the ordinary
dinner set OF today you will find that in
point of workmanship the modern pottery
is better made and better finished than the
priceless pieces that are guarded as relics
and fine specimens of the art.

That cement and concrete are des-
tined to supplant to a large extent
stone. terra Gotta, marble and other
materials now used for decorative pur-
poses is h opinion expressed by an
editorial writer In Cement Age. Econ
omy has been the chief factor IN the
development of ornamental work In
concrete. After a mold is made the
cost of production becomes the veriest
trifle as compared with stone or mar
BILE. As an artistic medium concrete is
quite as good as stone or terra Gotta.
Considering Its greater conomy 1t
may be employed In many cases where
III cost OF cut stone would be prohib-
tive and terra Gotta unsuitable. It's use
embraces not only s~tatuary, garden
furniture, fountains and urns. but orna-
mental walls, bridges and balustrades.
In fact. an entire estate. SO far as build
ings and structural features are con-
cerned. might well be OF concrete, from
the dwelling to the least of objects in
tended TO a garden or lawn.
Concerning artistic designs In concrete.
there is no limit 10 the resources OF the
worker. If he Is OF the faith that re-
jects all that Is modern and original,
and admires only the masterpieces OF
the old world. the plaster mold will fur
nish him with an almost exact repro
duction Of designs wrought by hand.
The most intricate and elaborate pat
terms, which may have involved months
or years OF toa the par OF their
In q few days. When We consider the
extreme d~v-iSility OF concrete IN con-
nection with the low cost OF production
n Is impressed with the great future
awaiting 1t In h domain OF decorative
work.

Bishop swears by Proxy.

The late Sir John Mirlais was a very
Keen fisherman. He used to tell a story
of an old man who was his attendant
during q days sport in the north OF
England. The old man was full OF
local gossip and small scandal. and
where the natural gossip supply failed
him he was clearly able to manufac-
ru.e enough of his w to &C on with.
II were out with the bishop yester-
day" said the old a referring to q
popular church dignitary. who is also
a good fisherman. "Ah." replied Mil
iais. hes a good man." Well" con-
tirued the Did fellow, re may be. but
e do swear a bit when 'e's fishin'."
'Oh. nonsense!" replied Millais, Il don't

that he was right, however. TN give
You an instance" he said. II was
standing 'longside o. the bishop, same
as ! might be aside o. you, an ed got
a big fellow at the end of is line

SLOp FEEDING

From The South Dakota Farmer.
This somewhat hreadbare topic makes
It's appearance in some form at almost
every swine convention. 1t always pre-
cipitateS a warm discussion and airs an
tagonistic views.
AS a rule the old timers champion the
slop bucker, wh!le more and more we find
that younger men are satisfied with the
results obtained from feeding a dry mix
ture to growing pigs. 1t is claimed that
by feeding dry you will 90 away with the
~pot-hellted appearance of the growing pig,
and of course ii materially cuts down the
labor item.
The fact that good results are obtained
by either method when plenty of common
sense Is used in the feeding simply indi-
Gates that the pigs digestive system is
adaptable to a variety OF conditions. We
do not take our stand in favor of or
against either method, but In practice
find that the best results are obtained by
feeding both slop and dry feed. Take q
bunch of pigs three or four months old
that are running IN grass, and IL you
want to bring them to a good weight at
an early age you will find 1t to your adj
vantage to use dry feed and slop. Wheth-
er IL is, best or not we cannot say, but
we nave always believed in giving the
growing pig just about all the thick Stop
| that he cared to take early In the morn
ing. When we say thick sIop we mean
Stop that will pour out OF a pail, but a
little reluctantly. About as thick as heavy
molasses late in the fall. After this meal
pigs generally lie aroun for two or three
hours and they are then ready to spend
the balance of the day in the pasture.
They come up at night looking full, but
there is stll room for more, a fact that
may be attested readily when they hear
the rattle of the pail or the ding of the
SCOOP shovel. This Is q time when W.
think dry feed is desirable and nothing is
better at such a time than dry corn. Ac-
cording to this plan the pigs therefore get
one meal Of slop and one meal Of dry
feed, n If they are healthy they oughi
10 grow TO the constant delight of the
owner.

BOYS ARE BOYS
:
THE WORLD over
Chinese Sons Who Wont Study
Are Able to ''Jolly'' the
'sCId Man"

The American father seems not to be
the only one who is worried by Fred.
dy's derelictions at college and who in
e~vitably is wheedled out of his rage by
Freddy in the long run. Witness this
true tale that comes in circuitous route
from China:
A wealthy Chinese gentleman who
had an only and worthless son wanted
the youth to take the classical exami-
nations and get into the official class,
He paid for tutors, and for months his
home sounded with the drOnings OF the
words of the great sage. The youth
liked flying whistling pigeons bettes
than C~onfucius. and as a consequences
when he went to Pekin to take the ex-
animation he failed lamentably.
The father. believing that his son
possessed all the paternal traits, again
paid for tutors, and again the house
rang with the chanted wisdom of the
wise one. Once more, after the father
had spent large sums, the worthless boy
went up to the examinations and again
failed. A third and yet a fourth time
he came back from the yearly trials
with no better showing.
AT last the father lost patience and
warned his son that If he did not pass
on a last trial he ould expect the boy
to go out and drown himself. Oncs
more the youth failed. The father
turned him out of the and orr
dered preparations TO be made for a fu-
neral.
When all the hired mourners had
come and the coffin had been built tho
reckless youth put In an appearance.
why a v you returned yelled the
father, when by my orders o were
to drown yourself and here all the prep
arations have been made for your fu-
neraI?'
Father up spake the willy youth.
'it is true that I expected to drown my
self and / tried by best TO do. so. but ]
could not.
II went to the village pond and pre-
pared to throw myself in. but found
il so chock full of the bodies of unfor-
tunate youths who had failed in their
examinations and had drowned them
selves that there was no room for me.
l sat on the bank and waited for some
one TO come and remove a body so as
to make room for me, but none came.
II dared not disturb the bodies ia
make room for myself, for Confucius
has written, 'Jostle not those who can
not reprove you
Hence, o my indulgent father"
continued the son. 1T must be plain to
you that l annot obey your orders"
The truthful chronicle from China re-
lates that thereupon the father broke
into q hearty laugh and made his son
the president of an insurance company.

IMPORTANCE OF THE CALF CROP

From the Nebraska Twentieth Century
Farmer.
The Importance of the calf crop
should be recognized by every interest
associated with beef production. 1T is
of first Importance to the owner of the
breeding herd hat the calf crop be
large, n that the quality be good.
In numbers and quality depend the ex-
tent of profit in the business.
The present indications show that the
calf crop Of this season is much bet
ter than the average, in point of calves
saved from those produced. This Is
due to the much better condition of
the breeding cows at the calving per-
iod. The season OF calving is the most
|%crttical and hazardous period in the
conduct OF the business. If the COW is
carefully looked after at this time and
has been provided with plenty of hay
and feed through the winter to keep
her In strong. vigorous condition, then
there need be but little risk in secur-
ing satisfactory results. The careless
methods under which the greater por-
ton of the COW herds of the country
are managed are not conducive to the
best results.
Cows that are forced to rustic for a
living during the winter, or a greater
portion of 1t. will drop down in flesh
II weaker as spring and the calVing
period approaches. The old range plan
of conducting the breeding by letting
it conduct itself plainly proves how i'm
portant IL Is TO guard against loss by
the proper care Of the breeding cows at
better care and more feed will al
ways be emphasized by increasing num-
bers In the calf crop.
The high price of meats now prevail
ing, especially beef, does not necessar-
lily prove that there is a shortage of
cattle more than in the feed lots. 1t Is
true that there is a scarcity of beef
cattle now going to market. 1t Is also
true that the prospects for q heavy
run of grass cattle for this season seems
quite certain. Large cattle interests
III the range are seeking an opportunity
to go out Of the business and this means
that these cattle must come forward
TO the central markets to find a sale.
The homesteader who is taking the
place of the cattleman on the range
is not a cattle buyer, and will not be
a producer to my appreciabIe extent
FOR several years. During his period of
shifting scenes there is going to be a
very heavy decline in cattle production
and an increased demand in meat con-
sumption. Other varieties of meats
have their places in the trade with the
consumer, but cannot be advanced one
step in taking the place of beef with
The common meat eater.
The Importance Of the calf crop will
he nore sensitively felt within the next
three a than at any past period
for sorre tin1e past. The value of the
calf will not be measured by it's price
~ a veal. but its d~esirability and fit
ness to take a place in the breeding
herd.

THERE IS MONEY IN MULES.

BICYCLE. automobiles, balloons and air
ships may come and go. but for all around
good service the mule will remain. AT
present good work mules bring extremely
prices. Good animals of 16 hands or
more hig fetch from $500 to 5000, which
is certainly a good thing for the man
who raises mules. Throughout all the
southern states the mule is In use on the
farm and In the towns and cities. In the
building of the Panama canal thousands
OF mules will be needed. so that for a long
time to come a good market Is assured.
hundreds OF thousands of head were ship
ped out during the Boer war and the
shortage then created has never been
made lip. There is always a demand for
the mule on the sugar planta lions of Cuba
and the United States Is looked 10 for the
supply. Mules can be raised by all farm
ers as we'll as any other stock, and at a
GOOD profit. In giving advice as to why
Montana should raise mules the Live
stock Exchange has this to say:
They can be raised cheaper than other

From the Chicago News.

Ex-CongressTnan Franz l.. Dixon. of

From the Chlcago Live Stock world.

From the Chicago Live Stock World.
There are certain kinds of live stock
that are undesirable for market purposes.
but. farmers don't want them and they
are therefore sent to market. Thin. ema-
ciated, old hatrack cows come under this
classification. Packers are not anxious to
get them even at very low prices, and, In
fact, would rather not have them at all
and buy them at about what the hide and
bones are worth. Lots of cattle OF the
undesirable class are condemned and
tanked. because they are not considered fit
for food. Inspection is more rigid han
1t ever has been and anything thai is the
least suspicious is tagged.
AT the Omaha convention a resolution
was passed to the effect thai shippers be
advised to hold back all pregnant ami
mails. Female stock In this condition are
often condemned and always bought at
such a discount that the farmer suffers a
distinct loss. Sows are locked 40 pounds
and cows and heifers are bought enough
lower to more than make up for the loss
that packers would otherwise have to
shoulder.
