Bouts for Legislators to Boost
Boxing Bill.

The hackers of the boxing bill now
before the Illinois legislature are be-
ginning to show real intelligence, and
intend pulling off a stunt which we
have favored for some time
The night of May four exhibition
boxing bouts, for the benefit of the
legislators, will be staged in the Coli
scum at Springfield. All classes will
be represented in the program, and
the lawmakers can see exactly how
fights would be conducted under the
proposed law.
In the heavyweight division Repre-
sentative George Hilton, who intro
duced the first boxing bill, will meet |
Peter Boyle, an old-time scrapper.
Packey Mcfarland and Willie Schae- |
fer will show how lightweights go
about their business; Johnny Coulon |
and Jimmy Barry will appear for the a.!
bantamweight division, and Billy
Papke and some other middleweight,
as yet unsolicited, will represent the
rating made famous by Stanley |
Ketchel
Each bout will be six rounds in |
length, each round to last two min
utes.
Arranging these bouts is a good
move. The same procedure was fol-
lowed in Wisconsin, and the legisla-
tors there, having under considera-
ton bill similar to that introduced |
in the Illinois assembly, were prop
erly impressed.

DIPPING FOR SCABBY SHEEP
Kentucky Station Makes Experiments
to Determine Value Of Sulphur
to Tobacco Dip.

The Kentucky station, in co-opera'
ton with the bureau of animal in
dustry, United States department OF
agriculture, has made series Of ex-
periments to determine whether or
not it is necessary to use sulphur
with tobacco dips in the dipping Of
scabby sheep in order to effect
cure.
The addition of sulphur increases
the cost. Therefore, If the sulphur
could be omitted and the dip still be
effective, 1t would in the aggregate
save large sum Of money yearly to
the users Of tobacco dips. The results

firmed by those of subsequent dip

PREPARING SOIL FOR 0KRA
For Commercial Purposes It Is Usual
ly Grown on Warm, Saney Loans
Deep Rooted Plart.

Okra will do we'll on any soil on
which cotton gives good results. Like
cotton, it is partial to warm, rich
loans For commercial purposes, says
southern exchange, it is usually
grown on warm, sandy loans, though
good okra can be grown on any we'll
prepared soil. 1t should not be plant
ed, however, on poor land, as the pods
are likely to be small and stringy.
AS this is a deep-rooted plant, the
preparation should be deep and thor
ough. 4 good preparation for cotton
will be found suitable for okra. The
rows may be laid off three and one
half to four and one-half feet apart,
depending on the variety, and the
seed planted rather thickly in the
drill When the plants are four or
FIVE inches high they are usually
thinned to one or two feet apart. 1t is
advisable to keep the soil well stirred,
particularly when the plants are
small, as rapid and continuous
growth should be secured for plants
stunted by weeds or lack of moisture
will produce pods of inferior size and
quality. If no seeds are permitted TO
ripen on the stalks, they will continue
to produce pods for long period of
time.
The crop draws rather heavily upon
the nitrogenous matter in the soil;
hence stable manure and leguminous
crops should be brought into use. 1t
would be advantageous to use quick
acting commercial fertilizers, 1000 to
1000 pounds Of one analyzing about
eight per cent. phosphoric acid, four
per cent. nitrogen and four per cent.
potash, depending upon the condition
and previous treatment of the SOIL All
fertilizers should be incorporated with
the soil.
The pods are gathered while they
are still soft, and before the seeds are
half grown. If they are all taken off
at the right stage of maturity, and
none allowed to ripen in the stalks,
not even culls, the plants will bear sor
a long period of time.

CARE OF THE BLOOMING ROSE
Powers Should Be Cut In Early Morn
ing and Placed in Deep Receptacle
Full of Water.

Never allow a rose to wither on the
stalk or form a seed pod.
When cutting rose buds cut back to
a strong leaf bud and another rose
will reward you. Use a good, sharp,
knife and give a clean, slanting cut.
While you are about it-cuttsng
roses-bear in mind the future shoot,
that is, so it adds to the beauty and
symmetry of the bush.
Cut roses early in the morning and
place them in a deep receptacle full
of water until you are ready to form
bouquets or use them for decoration.
If you want them to last long keep
them out of the sunshine and out of
draughts Cut off the stems every
morning and add salt to the water,
which must be changed daily.

close to the brick wall. Only fencing
with straight horizontal wires should
be used for this purpose, for If it is
not drawn close to the wall in all
places an unnecessary amount of ce-
ment is required for the plastering.
Two thicknesses Of wire fencing
were put on for one-half the depth
of the silo and only one thickness on
the remainder. Each strip was Tapped
about two inches over the lower one.
The top course projected four inches
above the top of the wall, and thus
was stapled to the plate, fastening the
roof securely to the structure.
After the wire was in place the in
side of the silo was plastered with ce-
ment mortar, thus covering the wire.
The mortar consisted Of one part
cement and three parts sand. -Four
openings were provided for removing
the silage. The door frames are OF
cast iron, one inch in thickness with
a projection which laps a couple OF

side of the silo. The doors are made OF
two thicknesses Of seven-inch flooring
with roofing paper between, and they
are held in place by being bolted to
four by four inch pieces OF timber
which extend across the door frames
on the outside.
1t is believed that this method OF
construction possesses many adVant-
ages where a permanent structure Is
desired. The wire fencing, being
protected by the coating Of cement.
has no tendency to rust, and the life
of the silo should be almost indefinite.
In every agricultural community the
services Of brick-mason can be Sc
cured easily, the job Of laying up the
four-inch wall is short one, and the
farmer himself can put ON the wire
and do the plastering.

HORSE WITH SORE SHOULD
Too Little Attention Is Paid to the Fit
and Cleanliness Of the Animals
Collar.

It is cruel to work horse that has
a sore shoulder. Yet we see many a
horse pulling against raw shoulder.
Too little attention is paid to the fit
of the collar. The hired men often
sling on any collar that is handy,
whether it was bought for that partic-
ular horse or not.
Consider the cleanliness Of the collar
and the shoulders. A sweaty rough
ness accumulates on a collar in short
time. Keep this off. Keep the name
out from under the collar. Rathe the
shoulders frequently to keep the skin
free from salty. irritating sweat. T.

season, starting with s1.05 bushel
on July 5, and closing with 65 cents
ON July 25. The first full car ship
ment came from Bullard, and sold at
the seasons top price in Philadelphia.
The forwardness of this district in
fruit production is attributed to the
high elevation and the warm charac-
ter of the rich, red soil of the section.
There is no doubt that these intiu-
.ences have their effects. High lands
are earlier and red soils are warmer.
But the peaches sent to Philadelphia
were hastened to maturity as much by
good care and cultivation as they were
by the soil and altitude.
To prove this, the fact is cited that
after these first peaches had been
gathered and marketed at fancy
prices, some of the other growers
were just beginning their harvest and
were content with lower prices.
Besides being early with their Ell.
:berta crop, the enterprising orchard
lists OF this section are able to COM
mand a premium price because of the
high color Of their fruit. 1t is no more
frouble to raise peach that ripens
July 5 than it Is to raise one that
1ipens two weeks later, and 1t is just
as easy to raise the big red and gel
low ones as it is to raise the small
.colorless fruit Texas orchardists
claim that there is a good profit In
peaches at fifty cents bushel. The
price of one dollar, with ten to flf-
teen cents a bushel added for quality,
Is something attractive and these
prices are sought by the red-land
grower.
Both commercial orchards and farm
orchards have proven very successful
in Texas. While the big orchards
under careful management have yield
ed large profits IN years Of good
crops and good prices, the small or
chards, closely attended, we'll cultt-
vated and sprayed, have paid the
largest profits and have proven the
most successful The returns from
the small orchards, acre for acre, are
as large in the years Of big crops as
from the big orchards, and in short

On a dairy farm a silo is almost q
prime necessity. Silage is succulent,
adds variety to the ration, is relished
by the animals and promotes a more
healthful condition Of the digestive
system than when dry feed only is
supplied. For silo to be satisfactory
the walls must be air tight and suft1-
ciently rigid to Withstand the pressure
to which they are subjected when the
silo is filled with heavy green material.
For ordinary silos filed with corn
silage this pressure increases eleven
pounds per square foot for each foot
In depth of the silo.
Corn for the silo should be cut
just before it becomes fully mature.
At that time there is still enough juice
in the stalks so that the cut or
shredded material packs in the silo
firmly and yet there is not that earlier
superabundance Of juice whose pres
ence tends to produce very sour or
acid silage.
In building reinforced brick siio al
the experimental station of West Vir-
ginia, an excavation was made about
four feet deep to the underlying rock
in order to secure solid foundation.
Then cylindrical brick wall was laid
up four inches thick, cement mortar
being used AS the wall was laid god
wire nails, which previously had been
annealed by heating them, were i'm
bedded in the mortar with the ends
projecting from the wall about two
inches into the silo. Two nails were
used for each square foot Of surface.
After the wall had stood few days,
woven wire fencing was cut into
pieces of the proper length to 90
around the silo, and the projecting
ends of the nails were clinched over
the wires SO as to hold the fencing

head, curved in the opposite direction,
so that when the two come together
they form a wire basket. The farmer
opens the basket-like arrangement and
sets it down over O clump of pea

handle down until the blade sewers

same land to cotton. This mixed
farming system, which enables the
fruit growers to raise little truck.
and the truck grower to raise little
fruit, makes this country an especial
" attractive place for the small
farmer, who is often much more sue
cessful than the large grower, be-
cause he is able to give personal at
tention to his crops and help them
when they need help.
Some one must continue to raise
early peaches and early tomatoes and
early garden truck for the hungry
cities. Nowhere can these crops more
easily or more economically be pro-
duced than in this fertile section Of
the country. II the farm Of twenty.
forty or sixty acres is more profitable
than the orchard of 500 or 1000 acres.
the responsibility Of fruit and truck
production will fall upon ther small
grower and the large interests will
give him the field. There Is a tendency
In this direction. No effort is being
made to replace the mammoth or
chards, which a few years ago were
the vogue, but there are just as many
bearing trees and the fruit produc-
ton is as large as in previous years.
It is plain that the industry is falling
into more competent hands. The ten
or twenty acre orchard on farm
that has field and garden crops, live
stock and poultry, pays better profit
on the investment than the large
acreage devoted entirely to fruits.
