NOTES


The most active hens as rule
are the most prolific layers.
It is not SO much the breed of
chickens you keep as the way you
keep them.
Impure. stagnant water will cause
trouble in the flock, more than any
thing else.
1t is not so much the amount of
care the poultry needs as that 1t
shall be intelligent.
At no time does poultry require a
greater variety Of food than during
the cold weather.
The same amount of feed given to
poultry will make more money than
when fed to any other kind of do
nestle animal.
1t is not necessary that houses
should be expensive, but clean. dry,
well ventilated with no drafts and
facing the south. BY having large
sliding doors you may have sunlight
all the year, which is great factor
in the health OF poultry, as dark
places so often breed disease.
In the past poultry keeping was a
side issue with many farmers, but
now things are quite different and we
have learned that it is one Of the
best paying investments we have.
In proportion to the amount of
capital invested. larger profits are
derived from poultry than from any
ether livestock on the farm.

EARLY MATURITY.

Egg production is question mote
of maturity than of feeding, but it
must be understood that the feeding
may be SO far wrong as to greatly
interfere with the natural tendencies
of the bird. One may feed literally
and yet not feed well, especially
when egg production is sought. Usu-
ally early maturing pullets: fed liber-

for Carson.
From Carson we drove out to Shaw's

within a few hours I'd know what it
felt like to be punched by Il real cham
pion, and If wasn't mistaken | would
know what 1t felt like to punch one.
Charlie White was a great friend OF
Corbett's in New York. He was one
of the best known sporting men in the
cast He knew how to train fighters
and was an experienced referee. They
tell me that he brought out a lot of
first class men in his time
Gus Rubin was a big young fellow
in Akron. He worked in a rolling
mill or something like that. and when
he wasn't working he played football.

something bigger. There everybody
told him to see Charlie White.
After awhile along came the Cor
bett- Fitzsimmons match. Fitz went to
Carson to train, and Corbett. who had
been doing lot of light work. fixed it
up to start for Nevada. He was to
have Charlie White as an adviser as
well as Billy Brady, his manager. and
Billy Delaney, who had trained him
for the great fight with Sullivan in
New Orleans.
Charlie" said Corbett, Il don't
want any clever sparrers to work with

rough. awkward fighter. and l want
some fast big man who can go at me

said Charlie. and he told Corbett all

Better wire him yourself. Your
name on the telegram may cinch it.
Charlie advised.
So Corbett sent Rubin a wire. and.
sure enough, when he got to Cleve
land there was big Gus waiting for
him. Corbett talked with him little
and had him go through few mo-
lions. Then he told Gus to go back to
Akron and pack his grip and wait I'M
til he got the word to start for Car
son. Poor Gus did it. He quit his
job. packed everything he had in the
world and sat down to wait. He might
be waiting yet if he was wooden In
dian. Corbett forgot to wire.
And the reason why Corbett forgot
to wire was that just after seeing
Rubin he had message from Billy
Delaney. 1--WE got just the man you
want" telegraphed Billy.
That man was Jim Jeffries. as you
may have guessed.
Corbett sat down and thought it
over Finally he concluded that. Billy
Delaney being his old handler and
Billy Delaney's man being a Califor-

PIAA6TERlN0 OUGHT TO BE GOOD FUH
THE PUNCHING MUSCLES.
training camp. running on the road
and punching a bag and boxing, isn't
enough to produce the best effects.
As great a man as James ]. Corbett
was when | first knew him. I'm satis-
fed that he would have been stronger
and would have had more endurance
II he had done heavy work now and
then. He was an exception to the
rule. for he lived fairly easy life all
the time when not training to fight,
only boxing for pleasure and playing
handball.
Bob Fitzsimmons was q horseshoer
and didn't begin fighting until he was
a full grown man. During his years
in the ring he liked nothing better than
to slip away somewhere every day or
two and turn out lot Of horseshoes.
Rubin was an ironworker like myself,
and strength helped him out more than
skill In the ring. Sharkey was great
fighter because working as sailor for
several years made him strong as q
bull. Hard work and exposure to the
weather toughened him and made him
q dangerous man. Sharkey was at his
best when he began to fight. He never
learned much about boxing and was
better on when he didn't try to do
anything but rush in and slug. For
his size he was a wonder, and In our
two fights couldn't help admiring his
gameness and toughness. He never
got that in training camps.
Other fighters that / never met In
the ring because they were Of q lighter
class have told me that they never
fought SO well as when they were
hard ut work. Tommy West, for in
stance, was a great middleweight
when was among the new cham
pions. West gave Tommy Ryan the
hardest fight OF his life and. although
beaten. battered Ryan up SO badly
that he didn't get back into fighting

was a plasterer. During all Of his
early fights he worked at his trade.
I've always thought that a plasterer's
