In answer to the above inquiries

Culture and Care.
In Illinois. May is the time for
planting and September the harvest
month. When broom corn was
grown only in small lots for home
use 1t was the rule to break over
the tops to prevent crooked straw,
and the brush remained on the stalk
until the seed was matured. But
this method has been proved as en-
tirely wrong. In the first place
crooked straw is caused by rain OF
heavy dew at time when the heads
are just starting from the boot. and
breaking over will In no way proven
it or better the condition of the
brush.
Seed should never ripen on the
brush that is intended for market
and the brush should be cut al
soon as 1t is well out OF the boot

the time it first appears and with,

A convict in the Montana peni-
tertiary. who calls himself william
O'Brien, has sent Mayor James H.
Polsgrove, Of Frankfort, bride
made entirely of horse hair. He
asked Mayor Polsgrove to sell the
bride for him SO that he can get
monye enough to have his case pre-
sented before the board of pardons
and win his freedom. The bride is
remarkable thing. 1t has not a
buckle about it, everything being
fastened with knots, encircled by
loops, but the whole thing holds to-
gether better than If it had buckles.
The convict says he made the bride
during his leisure hours in the pris-
on and it took him four months to
do 1t. How he obtained the name
of Mayor Polsgrove no one knows
The bride has been placed on ex.
hibition in local store and Mayor
Polsgrove will try to sell 1t so that
the convict can get his money.

tests that all OF the other States have on

EVERS IS IN WRONG.

The Pittsburg baseball club has de-
cided to prefer charges against Evers
for insulting spectators at Forbes Field
during yesterdays game. The umpires
failed to act, and It was necessary 10

SAM FITZPATRICK
TALKS ON FIGHT
Says Body Blow Can Stop
COlOred Champion.

In a long talk with Sam Fitzpatrick.
the man who knows more about Jack
johnson than any other man in the
business. he said that he would not like
to say the colored champion was the
best man who ever fought against the
boilermaker. Sam said he did not think
that he was. but that the negro was pos
sessed Of more strength than the public
has. given him credit for.
although, like other fighters Of his
race, II is said that he has yellow
streak in him somewhere, 1 do not think
it is entirely true. do know, however,
that he does not ike punishment. but
will fight back as long as he thinks
there IS a chance TO win a battle" said
Fitzpatrick.
TT is thought that II Jeffries should
hit him hard in the early rounds and
shake him up good. il is probable that II
viii take the confidence out of him. and,
to my way OF thinking, that would be
the best way of beating the black.
cit will do no good fighting him on the
head. because he can stand head punches
and is pretty good on his feet, and can
get awav from them. On the other hand.
n
bSIermaker has pushing one Jolt AFTER
another into the body Of the negro,
think he will vince and back away,
when Burns fought the black in
Australia he tried TO pound Johnson In
the head, but 1t was time wasted. The
negro lodged. side-stepped, and slipped
around the ring and laughed at the
Canadian. Although Burns is not such
a hIgh-class proposition as the boiler
maker. I do think that II he had fought
with some show of intelligence he would
have made more Roadway than he did
with the negro
ct has never been claimed that John
son ever had anything in the way Of
boxing that would fool Jeffries, and it
has never been claimed that Jeffries was
an expert at sparring himself. as in the
1 three fights with Fitzsimmons, Corbett,
| and Sharkey they always found him
easy TO hit whenever they pleased. his
defense never being strong enough to
save him from being pounded hard. Yet
he was so hard OF flesh that they could
not pound him enough TO knock him out
/ II Johnson can summon up enough eour-
age. I expect to see him 90 after the
| ex-champion and pound him savagely."
