along kicked up such high waves that
the raft was broken to pieces and the
boys thrown into the river. A deck

The street cleaning department Of
New York has just been assisting in a
thorough spring cleaning of the city.
Fifteen thousand loads of ashes, rub
bish and garbage were removed one
day, and another day fourteen thousand
loads were collected and hauled away.
There are two men who have been de-
lighted with this through cleaning
Antonio DeMarco and Joe Morone.
They are what are called the official
''scow trimmer" of the city. The
more old battles and tumbledown beds,
rickety furniture and scrap iron the city
cleaning department carries to the
dumps, the richer they grow. So profit
able is this scow trimming that for
many years Antonio DeMarco paid the
city the enormous sum of S91 900 year
for the privilege of sorting out the good
from the bad refuse. Under compe-
tition the weekly payments have been
cut down, but the privilege still is
worth considerable more than a thous-
and dollars week. This is in ordi-
nary times, but the housekeeping
period has been great harvest for the
"trimmers. The utilization of waste
forces in the realms of matter is one OF
the most interesting features of modern
industry and life. In many institutions
it is claimed that the waste furnishe:
the profit. There is need of utilization

INFERTlLlTY-THE CAUSES.

The general verdict at the end of the
last Matching season was-the worst
season for infertiIity ever. Add to this
eggs that didn't hatch on account of
weak germs and you total a loss that
runs up into millions of dollars. Now
is the time to think it over and pre-
vent the same, for such disastrous con-
ditions are preventable.
Here's our guess on it: Many have
bred the vitality out of their stock by
continuous inbreeding Many try to
breed with roosters that are sterile,
too old or of weak parentage or weak
constitutions; hens ditto.
They mate too many hens to the
male or too many males to the hens.
They head their flocks with immature
oockerels, use immature pullets for
breeders or have no mating system at
all. birds of all sizes and ages running
together Many try to breed from any
kind of a cross or from birds produced
by the unnatural double mating sys-

Many try to get good results from
show birds that have been pampered
in raising to get quick size and feath-
cring or have been worn out by the
long journeys, exposure, excitement
coop confinement and bad feeding to
which many expose their fowls to win
Il blue ribbon.
Many feed a ration that lacks nutri-
ton With them anything that a
chicken will eat is good enough.
A great many feed all grain, and
with most of these this is corn. They
do not bother with meat foods, greens
nor even furnish an exercise scratch
floor in winter, and this lack of varie-
ty. this unbalanced ration, this fatten-
err, makes their hens overfat great
cause Of poor laying, disease, infertill-
ty. weak germs and weak chicks.
Many stuff their hens with egg ton
les. Allured by high prices for winter
eggs, to get them they feed so strong
their hens are forced to the wall and
when spring comes they are worn out
and the eggs they do lay lack fertility
or are so weak in structure and com
position that they lack the essentials
needed to make strong, livable chicks

following of admirers who will wager
a few on the Lake county boy. Ham

for the result of the coming contest
and hope to see the Boulder boy

about Clabby:
"Clabby, although but % years of

bouts. He has met and defeated some
OF the best men in the business He
held Jimmy Gardner to a draw when
the Lowell man was at his best and

many of his bouts Clabby has conceded
weight to his opponents. and when he
faced Tom Monahan he gave away
close to forty pounds He made two
trips to Australia, where he has a
long list of victories to his credit.
"Clabhy is two-handed fighter with
a good wallop in either hand. display
ing gameness and aggressiveness in
generous quantities of the style which
is being admired by the fans. He is
developing punch that is to be fear
ed by any man of his weight, and the

fight at top speed in order to stave OF
defeat.
Clabby has established training

work as he was in the pink of condi-

men will weigh in at 154 pounds at s

and the mark will be an easy one for
Baker to reach, so speed, cleverness
