weight title. from George Dixon, in
seven rounds and in turn lost his own
championship to Young Corbett in two
rounds.
Joe Cans won the lightweight
championship from Frank Erne in one
round; Kid Williams won the bantam
weight championship from Johnny
Coulon in theree rounds and recently
Kid Williams came within an ace OF
being counted out in a six.round no
decision bout with Louisiana, a conten-
der.
Therefore it Is within the range
of possibilities that a terrific puncher.
such as Charley White has proven
himself to be. may put over the wall
op on Champion Freddie when they
meet"
Here's hoping he does, too. Welsh
is Of those dancing masters who
put boxing on the bum. He's nothing
but a boxer. White is OF the Fitzsim.
mons. Cans, Corbett type. a fellow
who can box and hit. He gives a good
show when he appears and his knock
outs are not the wild haymaker kind.
He has perfected a short arm left hook
that does the business while travelling
only a few inches.
Further. Welshe's title was never
legitimately won according to Amer
lean %standerds, and the American pub
lie has felt that Willie Richie sold"
the championship when he fought him
in London.
Knowing how Jealous our English
cousins are Of our istic ability there
was not a chance Of Richie getting
the decision If Welsh was on his feet,
no matter how helpless, at the end OF
20 rounds.
But, however, had Welsh come over
here-where the money is-and gone
along like our American champions
have, fighting 'em all any time, any
place and any distance, we would have
welcomed him and wished him well.
Instead, money mad. he insisted Oh
stepping six and tenTound bouts with
aspiring home boys where the local
adherents would turn out and pay his
fat guarantee while he polished of
the second.rater. And by the way,
second.raters are all that Welsh a
polish of. He has not obtained any
wide decision over a good man in any
ten.round fight.
Now, reader. II you are one Of those
who think l am wrong for speaking
against the light tapping boxing style
of Packey Mcfarland. Freddie Welsh,
ct al, let me correct you.
The knockout IS the most humane
thing in boxing. When properly de-
liyered the blow on the jaw leaves no
Ill effects-not even a mark.
Did you ever see Packey Mcfarland
batter and bruise a second-rater to
pieces, cut him to ribbons until he fell
to the ioor-not out, but absolutely
exhausted from loss Of blood. It takes
probably two weeks for such a victim
to recover. That is what Is brutal IN
boxing-not the Knockout.

Birds are sometimes yarded on the

should be provided with some sort OF
a dust bath.
In the summer the best dust baths
are made by spading places in the
yard. each about a yard square and
ten inches deep. II there are any
stones in the dirt. II should be sifted.
Care must be taken to have the dirt
fine and free from pebbles, or the
hens will not use II. Make the place
where the sun can shine on 1t, so as
to keep the dirt dry. and after every
rain the dirt should be turned over
with a spade or fork.
II they can have such place to
dust themselves, the fowls will easily
keep their bodies free from lice.

"HOMING INSTINCT" IN BIRDS
the Same as Is Evidenced
In Humanity.

The hah... or birds in migrating
South when winter comes on Is In
nuenced by the need of finding a suf-
ficient supply Of food. AS food grows
scarce when winter approaches in the
farthest northern places where birds
live they naturally turn to the South,
where, their instinct tells them, food
will be plentiful. The return Of the
birds in the spring to their accustomed
haunts in the North is one of the evil
dences Of their possession OF an In
stinct which is also strong in man.
The environment In which bird or
human being Is brought up generally
becomes a permanent part Of its ma
ture. Ornithologists have not yet
made 1t clear Just what enables the
bird to find its way back and forth to
the same spot every year, and our
knowledge is confined to the fact OF
what the "homing instinct does.
After they mate and build their
first nest and bring up their first fam
lily, birds cherish fondness for that
spot much the same as the attach
ment that man feels for his early
home. The spring migration of birds
is their joyful return home after a
temporary sojourn abroad to secure
the means OF livelihood.

Most farmers seem to breed the
cow with no concern as to her re-
sourcefulness or enduring qualities.
She is bred at an early age; bred
again just as soon as she will come in
heat after her first calving; held right
to her milk as nearly as possible to
the next calving time, and handled
thus until she Is worn out, and no
longer useful.
With such management, her un.
born calf will have much of its susie
nance taken from 1t on account Of the
nourishment going toward keeping up

offspring, and this influence gradually

CAULIFL1W!yER NOT
HARD TO MANAGE
Rich Earth and Abundance of
Moisture Are Two Most I'M
portant Factors.

Many consider the culture Of cauli-
flower the same as cabbage. In many
respects II is similar, but 1t differs in
number OF ways.
In many of the southern states the
caulifower plants are set out In au-
tumn and they live through the win
ter and head up quite early in the
spring. In the central or northern
portion OF the country the plants are
grown in early spring, and kept in
hotbeds of only moderate heat, or In
cold frames, and in either case should
be given plenty Of room and free
circulation of air to prevent the plants
being too spindling or tender. For late
or autumn cauliflower, the seed may
be sown In May or early June.
Very rich earth and abundance Of
moisture are the two most important
factors I'm the culture OF caulifiower.
Close proximity to lakes, streams or
the sea helps to insure good crop,
as the dews are SO much heavier.

WHITE GRUB A MOST
TANTALIZING PEST
No Way of Preventing Its Depre-
dations Other Than to ThWart
Its Propagation.
(By M. N. EDGERTON.)

In connection with the work Of grow
Ing strawberries the white grub is a
most tantalizing opposing force. Be-
cause of the manner in which IL works
there is no way Of preventing its dep
relations, other than by preventing its
propagation.
Land in sod is the favorite place Of
these grubs, hence it Is good policy to
fallow such land two seasons prior to
only way to clean them out effectually.
AS 1t is not good for land to lie idle
and bare for such length of time, it
is best to grow some sort Of hoed crop.
Corn is preferable to potatoes, because
the grub seems to thrive on q potato
diet, feeding as 1t does on the tubers.
The practice of growing corn after
sod and following with peas is good
one. Thorough cultivation of the corn
row kills the grass roots, and the pea
crop enriches the soil, both in humus
and plant food.
But even when all due precautions
have been taken, the grub often re-
mains, although in greatly reduced
numbers. Its presence may be detect
ed by the behavior of the plant at
tackled. When a plant fails to keep
up with its fellows in growth and
vigor one may be sure there is trouble
somewhere, and many times one Of
these grubs will be found at the base
Of the plant, feeding on its roots.
AS this Is the only portion of the
plant attacked by the grub the plants
cannot be protected by the use of poi
sons. 1t is not often that the plant
attacked can be saved, but the killing
of the grub will save other plants, as a
grub goes from one plant to another,
destroying a dozen or more il I'M
