SHEEP MANAGEMENT.
Mistakes In Handling the Flock That
Tend to Cut Profits.

Tend to Cut Profits.
In the management Of flock OF
sheep there are several mistakes usu
ally made among which may be men
toned FIRST. the temptation to turn
them out too early III the spring with
the thought of saving feed, says w II
Underwood If they are turned on
the regular pasture they will get the
start Of it ana fail to obtain the sus
tcnance they should from II the rest
OF the season whereas il it had been
allowed To get Il sufficient start it
would served them much better later
In the season.
If the pasture Is field to be pillow
ed feet quite sure the extra vege-
table matter that would be turned un
der If left. rather than to have it pas
tured off. Is worth much more to the
land than to the sheep In any event.
this soft. watery grass, while relished
by the sheep, has little nourishment in
1t. 1t fills. but does not feed. The ami
mails will get to securing and lose flesh
while II will take more and better feed
to put them back In good condition.
Another mistake Is to shear the
sheep. as the custom was. in June. BY
all means shear before they go to pas
ture. If they are put on grass with the
wool on. the looseness of the bowels
always following II change from dry to
green feed, will soil much of their
wool about the hinder parts, which is
loss. for It will cost MS much to wash
1t out as 1t will bring.
The old talk about the gain from ac.
emulation of oil In warm weather il

H|RST OUTBOXED BY
PACKEY M'FARLAND
Chicago WeIterWeight Proved
His Sobriquet of E'Wizard \
of the Ring"

PHILADELPHIA, August 31,-Packey
Mcfarland Of Chicago. the wizard OF the
American ring. outboxed Joe Hirst of
this city in the main bout at Olympia
last night. Twice during the contest, in
the third and fourth rounds. Mcfarland
was forced to extend himself nearly to
the limit. AS result Hirst narrowly
escaped a knockout.
In the third round Hirst undertook to
take liberties with Mcfarland by jab-
bing the latter half dozen times with
his left flush In the face. This caused
Mcfarland to cut loose. and he shot a
vicious right across which landed on
Hirsts jaw. The latter was sent stag
gering to the ropes. Mcfarland was con-
tent to let him recover.
Again in the fourth round H1rst started
to pummel Mcfarland in the body while
boxing at close quarters. The wonder
from Chicago quickly showed that he was
even an adapt at that style of milling,
for he Strengthened Hirst up with q
nght-hand uppercut, which made Hirst
clinch. Although Hirst was beaten, he
deserved great credit for carrying the
fight to Mcfarland, after the first round.
He reached the Chicago welterweight
often with his left, but beyond little
blood trickling from his nose Mcfarland
was unmarked. He seemed to be able
to hold Hirst safe all through the six
rounds, and won by comfortable mar
gin.
