ANOTHER SOURCE OF WEALTH
Much Despised Skunk Now Has Great
Economic Value on Farm-Eats
Many Crop Destroyers.

In rural sections there IS no animal
that has always been more heartily de.
spised than the skunk, says the Wall
Street Journal. Yet it is being discov-
cred that it has an economic value SO
great that it must ultimately over
weigh every antipathy against him
The department of agriculture says
the common white grub costs the
farmers of the country $12,000,000 a
year. Jimmy" Skunk thinks these
grubs delicious morsel and hunts
them industriously. Also the beetle,
of which the grub is the larva, is to
him bonne bouche for which he al-
ways has room for one more. AS near
as can be approximated rodents and
insects cost the country $1,400,000 a
year. Jimmy hunts meadow mice.

otherwise unsavory record should be
forgiven, even If it cannot be forgot

saving the crops.
But this is not ALL Jimmy" wears

of too lowly an origin to be admitted
to polite circles. However, other peo-

In the past men have despised him
but, all things considered, it seems g

FARM SPRAYING PUMP
KEEP BUILDINGS SANITARY BY
USE OF WHITEWAsH.
All Structures Should Be Kept Sweet
and Clean by the Liberal and Free
quent Application of Some
Good Disinfectant.

Sanitary methods are now part of
the days work on modern farms.
Barns, hog pens, dairy buildings, ev-
cry farm building, in fact, should be
kept sweet and fresh and clean by a
liberal and frequent application of
whitewash or some good disinfectant
Poultry buildings, in particular, should
receive especial care to prevent lice
and mites taking away all the profits
fron the poultry.
Good disinfectants destroy the
germs of contagious diseases, the ex-
ternal parasites, such as lice and
mites, and the embryos of intestinal
worms. Disinfectants should be thor
oughly applied to the interior of the
houses, worked into all the cracks and
crevices, spread over the ceiling and

and nest boxes. At the same time,

cood creen Food

AS soon as it is possible to spade
the ground you should spade some
and SOW oats for the little chicks.
Then when this gets up say two OF
three inches let the chicks out in l.
for half an hour or so. If you see
that they are trampling it down too
fast cut their time shorter in the oat
patch. The oats will grow quickly
and give the birds lot of green food
besides purifying the soil where the
chickens have been running.

A well-grown chick from shell to ma
turity is source of profit A poorly
grown one is always a loss, both in
weight and producing powers. 1t is
impossible to expect chick that has
been checked in its growth several
times through mismanagement to be
as strong or productive as the one
properly grown. Many understood
fowls are seen due to just this evil.

the feeding and drinking troughs
should be disinfected by pouring boil
ing water into them and drying them
in the sun. The disinfectants are most
easily applied to the walls and cell
ings with a spray pump. A hand
pump should be on every farm-it is
useful for spraying small trees as well
as buildings.
Not much use to spray the chicken
house and roost unless every bit oi
surface is covered, because the pestif
erous lice breed rapidly and if one
inch of this space is left uncovered
great colonies will quickly spring up

There is always ready market for

a number of eggs go into the open

Corn Yield.

For no ten-year period has the corn
yield of the United States exceeded
2S bushels an acre. No state has aver
aged for any year over fifty-four bush
els an acre, yet In practically every
section of the United States yields
os more than one hundred bushels
have been produced. As states and as
a nation twice as much land is being
used and much more labor is being
performed in producing the corn crop
than is necessary.

AS one never knows how fruit is
going to turn out, it is wise to make
these preparations anyway as, if the
supply is over ample, there are al

of this pleasure, one must begin te

Packey Mcfarland Here
Says He Has Quit Ring

Honolulu is entertaining today one
of the worlds greatest fighters
Packey Mcfarland of Chicago.
Packey is not on any glove-cam
paigning tour. He is here on his
honeymoon. The Chicago lad was
married on July II to Miss Margaret
Loughran of Joliet, ILL.,. and after q
wedding supper at the home of the
bride, they started on wedding tour
that is not yet half over.
The Chicago fighter declares that
he is through with the ring game for
ever. unless Freddy Welsh, the new
lightweight champion, will fight him
for the championship with the weight
terms fixed at 135 pounds at 3 O'Clock
on the day of the fight.
Packey and his bride arrived this
morning On the Tenyo Maru, on which
they will be passengers as far as
Hongkong. 1t is the first time the
from home but he is a chap well &C
customed to cosmopolitan ways, and
few who see him on the street would
recognize him as prizefighter.
There is talk of fight between Nc.
Farland and the new worlds cham.
pion, Freddy Welsh, but Mcfarland
does not appear to think there is much
chance of his meeting the Pontypridd
boy. In the first place, Welsh Is not
likely to fight for at least year, as
he has been campaigning now almost
without intermission for three years
and intends to take long lay-off and
reap the profits of his championship
by the stage route.
Terms Are impossible.
In the second place, Welsh has al
ready announced that he intends to
dictate terms to his rivals, and the
chances are that he would dictate
terms that Packey can't accept. Welsh
can make 1875 pounds without trouble:
in fact, he can go even lower, whereas
Packey right now is near the weller
weight limit and cannot ge+ down to
1876 pounds without lot &C trouble,
so those experts say who have watch
ed him for the last two years.
Welsh made 135 pounds at o'clock
in the afternoon of the day he took
the worlds title from Willie Richie
in London. If Mcfarland wanted a
match with Welsh, the chances are
the little Briton, knowing that he
himself can make 134 pounds at
o'clock, or even at ringside by hard

1t was speedy, fought inch by inch
and featured by some sizzling plays

The Portuguese victory was due
very largely to Tod" Sloan's sunerb
pitching. Sloan and AL Castle bat
tied from beginning to end. the hits
being as hard to get as a stock divi-
dend under free sugar and the err
rors almost as scarce as Wilson
Democrats in sugar factors agen-
cy. Which means mighty scarce.
The pitching was nearly even, with
Sloan having perhaps the edgs
through his ability to twirl strike
out ball in critical moments when
either hit or a fumbl6d grounder
would have let Pun runners across
the plate.
The Puns had good chances to
score in the second inning, with two
men on bases; the fifth and the
eighth. but the blonde Second Infan-
try pitcher had too much STUFF on
the ball and the batters could not |,
