FAST B0NNe BOUT FIXED
FOR NEXT SATURDAY NIGHT

Yankee Rue and Young Gilbert
will face each other once more IN the
ring at Bio hall on Saturday night
This excellent card has been arrang.
ed by f. F. McMann Of San Francis
co. . promoter who has had consid'
cradle experience on the Pacific coast
and has staged some of the best ak
hibitions ever given In the roped
arena.
As to the merits of Rue and Gilbert
nothing need be said, as their. whirl.
wind bout here on Labor Day was
witnessed by one of the largest gath
ering of fight fans ever gathered to-
gether in the district
1 This will be the third time that
these two clever lightweights have
met and the question of supremacy
is still open. They faced each other
on two occasions in Salt Lake in
four-round bouts, each of the boys
coming out with a decision to his
credit. Last Labor Day in Bio hall,
after one of the fastest ten-round
bouts ever witnessed, the referee de-
clared draw and since that time II
has been the hope of evrey lover of
the sport that the pair might be
brought together again. These hopes
have now been realized and on next
Saturday night there is going to be
some scrap.
The boys will be obliged to make
1873 pounds at six o'clock on the night
of the contest. Rue is now we'll with
In the limit and il is said that Gilbert
will have no difficulty making the
weight.
Rue is one of the fastest and clev-
crest men that ever pulled on a
glove. while Young Gilbert is by no
means lacking in cleverness, and is
a fighting demon. He rushes from
gong to gong and always carries a
punch in either hand that will take
down the long end of the purse II 1t
lands.
Sixty per cent will go to the winner
while the loser will have to be con-
tent with the forty per cent end.
Prof. w. w. Langdon will referee
the bout, which Is ample assurance
that everything will be on the level
and the best man will win. But few
men in the business have had as
much experience as "Bill" Langdon,
and from coast to coast he enjoys
the reputation of being one of the
squarest sports in the world.
Considerable money will change
hands on the result of this contest
and the men are so evenly matched
as has been shown in their three
meetings, nothing but even money Is
looked for in the betting circles.
Promoter MeMann states that II he
receives the support which such ex-
fibitions have right to from the
sporting public. he will stage num-
ber of bouts in this district, bring
ing in the best men on the coast. Elk
hibitions of this character appeal t.
real sports and we have a mum
ber Of them here. Hence 1t seems
assured that Bio hall will be crowd
cd to the doors when these two clever
and willing fighters step through thu
ropes next Saturday night.

PURCHASE YOUR CHECK FIRST
Young American Author, Who Dared to Signal Pompadoured Waitress,
 Receives Rude Jolt.

A young American author, who was exposing his films for fresh impress sions of his birthplace, after several years absence in Europe, wandered into what he calls "a hot-chocolate saloon for women," to see how Amer ican girls publicly indulge in strong drink. Another man was adrift in the crowd of petticoats, and following his example the author ventured to signal a pompadoured waitress. "A cup of chocolate" he murmured. The wait ress transfixed him with suspicious stare.
 Come, now; hand over your check"
 "Check?" he replied.
 "Oh, don't tell me you've forgotten 1t. You don't get chocolate till I get a check"
 The returned American will go back to Europe. They are politer, he de- clares, in any brasserie in France.

SAVING THE GIRDLED TREES
Injury Wrought by Pigs Rectified by Grafting-Well-DeveIoped Roots
 Aided Materially.
CBy J. A. IDALL. Illinois.)

About two years ago a friend had her four apple trees. two years planted, girdled by some pigs that she had turned in the same lot. They had eaten the bark to the roots and up for a foot. She asked me if could save them. l told her it was doubt full. She then told me to do what I thought best. AS bridging was not practical, l cut them off close to the ground and inserted two gratis from the top of each tree into the root the best l could, waxed them thoroughly, and gave them protection. Every graft grew. The well-developed roots caused them to grow wonderfully, and l think the trees were quite as large in two years as though they had not been injured.

PREVENT INJURY TO
 THE ORCHARD TREES
Warm Days During Spring Will Cause Sap to FIoW-Mice
 Also Cause Much Damage.

Often the trunk and larger branches of fruit trees turn brown in the spring This is due to sun scald. The warm days during the winter and spring will cause the sap in the trunk to flow which is injurious to the tree. This injury can be controlled through the shading of the trunk.
 It is a good plan to erect boards or burlap sacks on the south side of the trunk of the tree; this will shade and prevent the bright days of the sun from starting the sap to flow.
 Another injury that is found on young trees, especially, is caused by mice. The mice gnaw the bark on small trees around which there is a considerable amount of grass or straw, To reduce this loss it is simply neces- sary to remove the straw from the base of the tree. If this is done there will not be much loss.

HARMFUL HABITS IN
 THE POULTRY FLOCK
Fowls Will Pull Each Others Feathers and Sometimes
 Pick Holes.

CBy C. S. ANDERSON. Colorado Agricul-
 tural College, Fort Collins. Colo)
 Did your chickens ever turn carni- bal? Many a poultryman has discov- cred old biddy denuded of feathers and was at loss to account for her sudden lack of modesty. The feathers were pulled out by her pen mates, and often the pin feathers were pick. ed out as fast as they appeared. When this vice becomes established, chick ems will go so far as to pick holes in one another. and woe unto the bird on whose body the blood is once started!
 Toe picking is a kindred evil, but only among young chicks. They like the taste of blood and an injured toe Is source of attraction.
 Close confinement and unbalanced rations are the usual causes of such vices. Both grown fowls and young chicks need green food, meat food and grit. and if these are provided, along with plenty of exercise, the conditions favorable for the forma- tion of the above habits will not be present.
 The best plan is to kill the con- firmed feather pullers that go wild at the sight and taste of blood. In fiocks kept under close confinement. the male birds are liable to have their neck feathers pulled. It will be found beneficial to rub the naked necks of such victims with carbolated vaseline

SUSAN MAKES FIRST PRAYER
Cornered by Persistent Preacher. Old Woman BIurts Out "BIess Miss
 Mays Big Toe"

Old Susan was greatly troubled. Miss Mary, her young mistress, was ill and suffering terribly. As Susan expressed it, she done got de misery eb-rywhere, but mo particler in de feet" Seeking comfort and consolation, Susan had taken herself to prayer meeting. Dur ing the entire service the old woman's thoughts and prayers were for the sick mistress.
 In an endeavor to put life and spirit into the meeting, the preacher called upon first one and then another of his congregation to testify or to pray aloud. For the first time in Susan's life, she heard her own name called to speak in meetin'." Embarrassed, she tried to hide from the preachers sight, but as she lodged back and forth be- hind pair of huge, broad shoulders, the man of God likewise lodged, call ing out, "Ah see yer, Sister Susan. Yer can't hide fun me. Testify, sis ter, pray de Lo'd fo' some special bless ing"
 Thus cornered, Susan rose slowly to her feet. In her minds eye, she still saw the suffering mistress of her af- factions.
 "Oh, Lo'd," she prayed from the depths of her faithful heart. Bless Miss Mays big toe, and make it we'll"
 And all the people said, Amen"

BEST SPRAY FOR GREEN BUGS
Tobacco Extract, Containing 40 Per Cent or More of Nicotine, Fa-
 vored by an Expert.

dBy A. G. RUGGLEs, University Farm.
 St. Paul, Minn)
 The apple plant louse, aphid, or green bug" probably will do tre- mendous lot of damage to the setting fruit. We have found that the best spray for these insects is tobacco extract containing 40 per cent or more of nicotine in the form of nicotine sul- fate. Several products are on the market, notably Black Leaf No. 40. A half pint of this in 50 gallons of water is very effective. If this ma terial, or an equally good one, is not to be obtained on the market, home made preparation may be used, but it's qualities are not reliable. This home made spray is made as follows:

UP LEAKS
 IN FARM EXPENSES
Cost of Labor and Machinery Should Be Carefully Consid-
 cred by Farmer.

(By ALvA H. BENTON. Assistant Agri-
 culturist. University Farm. St. Faul.
 Minn.)
 Reducing farm expense is the cas- fest way to increase farm profits on many farms. Good crops and good live stock alone cannot make farming profitable. In closing up the leaks in farm expenses the cost of horse labor and machinery should be carefully considered. Cost-accounting records in Minnesota show that the mainte- nance cost of an average work horse is $100 annually, and that the main tenance cost of machinery is 15 per cent or more.
 Two 160-acre farms In southern Min nesota forcibly illustrate how much higher horse labor and machinery costs may be on one farm than on another. The first of these farms had $425 worth of machinery and five work horses; the other q. $40 worth of machinery ahd seven work horses.

a long-spouted oil can or glass syringe, and the openings are closed immediately afterwards,
 Carbon bisulphid must be handled with care, and precautions taken to avoid danger from fire and the inhal- ing of fumes. This means that the operator should not smoke while at work. On the other hand, there need be no fear of the liquid damaging the hands.
 The leopard moth in it's adult form has spotted appearance, the semi transparent white wings being thickly dotted with blackish, dark blue, or greenish spots. There are also large black spots on the thorax and dark cross bands on the white abdomen. The moth lays It's eggs, either singly or in groups, during the summer usu- ally selecting crevices in the rough bark of trees as a convenient place to deposit them. The larvae or cater pillars hatch about ten days after wards and at once penetrate the liv- ing wood. AS they feed, they burrow tunnels which frequently encircle com pletely the tree or branch When the larva has grown too large for the branch in which 1t Is feeding, it crawls out and moves to one more suitable. AS the insect remains in the larva stage, feeding in this way, for nearly two years, it is capable of doing a great deal of damage before it trans forms to the pupa or chrysalis stage. This it does in May or later, and some time between May and the end of September it emerges as an adult or moth.
 Damage by this borer in large parks Is often so severe as to render it necessary to establish system of in spection. Wherever possible the bi- sulphid of carbon should be used. Care should also be taken to see that the insect is not allowed to breed in growth that is near valuable trees. The use of fertilizers will strengthen the trees to withstand the attacks of this and other insects.

DESTROY PLANT LOUISE EGGS
oil Sprays Are Efficient for Destruc- tion of Lice After Hatched-Dont
 Affect Eggs.

tBy C. P. GILLETTE. Colorado Agricul-
 tural College, Fort Collins Colo.)
 Occasionally we see oil sprays rec commended for the destruction of the eggs of the plant lice during the win ter or early spring. While these oil sprays arc very efficient for the de- struction of the lice after they have matched, thorough study of the ef- tects of these oil sprays upon the eggs or these little plant lice serves to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the eggs are not injured by these oils Tn any strength that will ordinarily be used. In fact, plant-louse eggs have been dipped in pure kerosene and aft erwards have matched apparently as well as the eggs upon other twigs that were untreated.

(From the United States Department of
 Agriculture)
 The injection of bisulphid of carbon into the burrows of the leopard moth and the cutting off and destroying of affected branches are recommended in a new Farmers Bulletin of the depart. ment as the most effective measures for getting rid of this pest. The in- sect feeds on the wood of large num- Der of shade trees and shrubs and does much damage along the Atlantic seaboard between Massachusetts and New Jersey and in the Hudson River valley. in the caterpillar or larva stage, the leopard moth eats into the tree upon which it feeds and not only checks it's growth but so weakens it that it is often broken by heavy wind storms.
 The presence of the pest is indi- cated by the wilting of twigs or branches and by accumulations of saw dustlike castings at the entrance of the burrows. The discovery of this evidence, says the new bulletin, No. 708, "The Leopard Moth, A Dangerous Imported Insect Enemy of Shade Trees" by l.. o. Howard and F. H. Chittenden, should be followed prompt ly by the pruning away of all the smaller injured twigs or branches. The larger ones may be cut back be- hind the injury and the stubs covered with grating wax to prevent the en- trance of other insects. All the wood that has been cut away should be promptly burned, in order to destroy the caterpillars within. This precau- tion also should be followed with all branches that have fallen to the ground after windstorms. Wherever the trees are so badly injured that there is little hope of their recovery. it is best to take them out and prompt ly destroy them. In the case of trees which are only slightly affected, and especially in the case of large and valuable trees, bisulphid of carbon can be used effectively It is injected into the openings of the burrows with

 The commercial product may be added at the regular rate to the or dinary spray compounds such as ar senate of lead plus bordeaux mixture or arsenate of lead plus lime sulphur. If the tobacco is used alone, it is bet ter to add whale oil soap at the rate of three to five pounds fer every 50 gallons of the spray.
