Despite 52 Pounds Advantage White
Man Was Easy in London
Bout

London. Feb. 22.-Bill Lang, who
once held the heavyweight champion.
ship of Australia, was no match for
Sam Langford, the American colored
pugilist. in a scheduled 20 round bout
at the Olympia last night Langford
won the sixth round, when Lang was
disqualified. The contest could not
have gone much longer. as Lang al
most was out when he committed the
foul
Six thousand spectators gathered to
witness what they expected would be
long and fast fight and they showed
great disappointment when the con-
test ended so abruptly. After six
fierce rounds. when Langford was
down, the Australian in a dazed sort
of way rushed at the American and
struck him. Immediately the referee
proclaimed Langford the winner
NEGRO'S FIGHT ALL THE WAY.
The Australian with all his natural
pounds in weight. hopelessly was out
classed by the colored fighter. who
walked into him and hit him from all
angles where and wien he wtlied.
Lang was all nerves. He seemed
scared TO death, and his disqualified
ton was the best thing that could
have happened. for he was so groggy
that he was bound to have been put
out if he had not transgressed
The only redeeming feature of
Lang's showing was his gameness in
taking punishment. AS early as the
first round Sam chased him all over
the ring and punched him at will. In
the second the negro forced the Aus
tralian into a neutral corner and drop
ped him for a count of nine with ter
rife left and rights 10 the jaw.
COMES BACK STRONG.
Lang went down again for nine in
the third round by a right to the point
of the jaw, but came back in the
fourth and stood up and exchanged
left and right swings with Langford
at terrific rate. AT that period OF
the bout both of Lang's eyes almost
were closed, and Langford was laugh
ing.
The Australian took a long count
twice more in the fifth, but in spite
OF the heavy punishment he carried
the fight TO Langford the next time
up, and in a fast inhghting rally put
the latter down, but this was more by
accident than anything else. Lang
was greatly excited and pretty hay
by this time, and he rushed his op-
ponent. striking him heavily before
Langford could regain his feet.

SOIL FERTILITY.
Principles by Means of Which It Is
Restored or Maintained.

rTihCiP.SS oy meanS OF Whicn tt Us
Restored or Maintained.
Soil fertility can be restored and
maintained in any agricultural region
by the persistent practice of simple
systems of farming. The growing of
leguminous crops, the turning under
Of green manures to make humus and
the systematic rotation of crops are
absolutely essential. In most attempts
to rebuild soils the use Of the element
phosphorus is equally important. With
the exception Of swamp or peaty types,
Rll soils are adequately provided with
potassium. Nitrogen can be secured
through clover, alfalfa. cowpeas, soy
beans. vetch and the like. No farmer
should buy commercial nitrogen for
ordinary field use Truck farmers and
gardeners require it in this form for
quick action in small areas, but farm
erS can obtain an abundance of the
element practically without cost by
growing legumes
In order to make these restorative
crops attain proper growth most soils

these legumes having a common or

Dairy Doings.

It takes two-thirds of all the good COW
eats to keep her alive and without loss
of flesh and the other third Of ordi-
nary good rations to enable her to give
milk. The, expense of two-thirds Of
the money earning rations has to be
incurred when the cow is earning
nothing.
Timothy hay is better than nothing
as a feed for dairy cows, but it Is
worth more TO sell on the market.
A good supply Of alfalfa will cut
down the bran bills.
If the cows teats are made sore
from exposure to cold or wet weather
an application of carbelfzed vaselfne
after each milking will remedy the
trouble if used when it first appears.
The best hay feeds for dairy cows
are clover. alfalfa. cowpeas and soy
beans. They contain large percent
age of protein. which is a great milk
producing element.
The worlds champion milk COW pro-
auced nearly nine tons Of milk last
year, and advocates of dairying in
preference to beef production call at
tention to the fact that this cow is
prepared to repeat such performances
for many years, while the beef animal
must go to the block to produce cash
for its owner.
The secret of dairy success in Hol-
land is easily understood and may be
stated in a few words-efficient cows,
excellent care, cooperation and SUI
perior quality Of butter and cheese.
