Manager Dan Morgan is going right
ahead doing business for Battling
Lavinsky, just as If the fight with
Young Weinert at Browns tomorrow
night was nothing more than work.
out Dan has signed Lavinsky to
meet Jim Flynn week later. which is
evidence, of course, that he expects
the Batter to battle Weinert into
submission, for a defeat would natur-
ally mean nothing doing, as far as
Flynn would be concerned. Those
who have followed Lavinsky closely
seem to think he is much too much
for Weinert. Others who have seen
him perform once or twice declare he
is a good man, but nothing wonderful
Percy Woodruff. Weinert's manager,
is satisfied that his man is good
enough to fight anybody at his weight,
and he has bet 5000 on the kid s
chances. OF course, Dan Morgan, who
has the Lavinsky end of the wager. is
counting his winnings even now, but
more sure-looking propositions than
the Lavinsky- Weinert fight have gone
astray.
o.
On the face of everything attending
the battle, Lavinsky should defeat
Weinert. My only opportunity to view
the Kids effort was in his bout with
Sailor White at Troxler's. His show
ing on that occasion was disappoint-
ing, yet he beat the peculiar White
|decisively enough, and White has done
some noble battling in his day. As an
excuse for Weinert's poor showing,
Manager Woodruff has taken the blame
upon himself. Percy told me that the
Kid was fighting to orders and that
he wasn't going to let him take any
chance of breaking his hand before
the important Lavinsky battle. That
Is not a good way to do things, but
IL Weinert makes good against La
Whisky he will be forgiven for that
offense.
The placing of Francis Ouimet at
the head of the amateur golf ratings
for the year has brought about keen
discussion, and the many admirers of
Jerome D. Travers are sure that it is
all q mistake. Ouimet has been a
sensational golf player this year, and
he is entitled to great credit for his
victory in the open championship.
His ability to tie such opponents as
Vardon and Ray, the English profess
sional stars, and then to beat them
out in the play-off was surely feat
worth recognizing but day In and day
out in this tourney this week and in
that tourney next week Jerry Travers
would seem to be the master of Oui-

pion may get over the course with a
better card than Travers, but when 1t
comes down to match play, then 1t is

Drainage of Wet Lands.

For the management of wet lands
the usual advice Is to tile drain them,
but an intelligent German farmer now
living in this country suggests that it
sometimes pays better to make arti-
fetal ponds. In Germany, he says. an
acre of fish ponds is often reckoned
worth more than an acre Of wheat.
The dams may be built with farm
labor at small expense. and the ponds
add considerably to the beauty of the
scenery. Very often, also, the ponds
can be used to some extent for irri-
cation, and irrigation will work won

Easier Done With Grain Crops Than
With Livestocl<-Animals Must

1t is much easier, generally speak
ing, to hit the highest market price
with grain crops than it is with live
stock. There are various powerful
interests that aim at certain seasons
OF The year to depreciate the prices
OF meat products and grain. The
grain farmer is less at their mercy
than the stock farmer, because he
can. as a rule. hold his grain for a
few months until the market suits
him. The stockman cannot do this
with bis cattle, sheep and swine to
anything like the same extent. Cat

they are ready for market 1t is the
best thing farmer can do to sell
when they are ready, that is, when
they have reached a weight at which
he cannot add more weight at q
profit. The only advice that 1t is safe
to give on this point is to avoid being
a market chaser. and to sell fattened
stock when 1t Is fit to ship. There
Is large expense connected with
holding fat stock and in many in
stances the market goes the wrong

corn at, say 80 cents, he is assuming
the role OF a Spectator by holding q

HELPFUL TO BEE BEGINNERS
Ono Method Which Cannot Fall to AS
sist Is to Give Delinquent Insects
Good Shaking Up.
By MRS. r. F. JOSEPH)

A method l have just learned that
cahnot fail to help beginners in bee
culture is to give the bees a good
shaking when they become delinquent
in their work. When you move them
short distance to prevent their GO
ing back shake them in front of the
entrance of their respective hives. The
most vicious bees can be made very
tame by shaking. | shake them off
the comb into a large dishpan. When
the pan is shaken about the same as
you would shake a corn pepper the
bees roll over in a confused mass and
after minute of shaking, rolling and
tumbling they can be picked up with
the hands, providing, of course, that
you do not hurt them.

conditions. Seed corn that is not
thoroughly dry before cold weather,

which will cause the kernel to expand,
thus injuring the germ or little plant,
lowering its vitality and often destroy
Ing it, so the kernel will not germi-
nate.
Few farmers save enough seed corn
One bushel of shelled corn will plant
from seven to eight acres. One hun
dred to one hundred and twenty Sc
lected ears will make bushel of
shelled corn. At this rate it will take
from twelve to fifteen ears to plant
one acre. 1t should be remembered,
however, that the first selection is
not alv-ys perfect; and oftentimes
upon second selection and germina-
ton test, half of the first selection
Will be thrown out. Thus it is seen
that there should always be selected
In the fall at least twice as much
seed as the farmer expects to plant.
There is little danger of getting too
much seed corn. Any surplus. IL the
seed is good, can usually be sold at
fair price.
In case one has no special seed
plot" IN which his best and earliest
maturing ears were planted, it is then
necessary that his seed be selected
from the field. The most practical
method to do This is to go through
the field with sack tied across ones
shoulder and select the choicest and
best matured ears. Two rows of corn
may easily be examined at once. Dur
ing the process of selection, consider
alton of the strength and character of
the stalk, the height of the ear from
the ground, and the size of the shank,
should be noted.
A stalk does not necessarily have
to be large to be big producer. A
tall spindling plant lodges very cas-
lily. The stalk should be of good size
and strong at the base, gradually tap
ering, and not necessarily tall Strong,
vigorous stalks of medium height,
usually produce the best and earliest
matured ears. The ear should be at
tached to the stalk by a medium-sized
shank, which is long enough to allow
the tip of the ear to hang down.
All ears in a cornfield will not ma
ture at the same time. A variation of
fifteen days in maturing of ears in a
field is not uncommon One OF the
reasons why good selection of corn
cannot be made from the shock or
from the field late in the fall, is that
one is unable to tell the time the ear
matured.

Profitable Industry.

A profitable industry is being de-
veloped on many of the government
irrigation projects in the production
of honey, and reports indicate that
this honey is superior in quality. Al
falfa is the chief source from which
the bees secure their supply, and as
IL blooms constantly from early
spring till late in the fall, the bees
have something to work on all the
time, which allows a greater amount
of honey to be stored.
