[E.WIS-MARTINSEN MATCH
ATTRACTING ATTENTION
STRANGER

The match between stranger"
Lewis and Paul Martfnsen in the
Academy Of Music Thursday night Is
costing its promoters more money in
guarantees to the principal than has
been expended for a wrestling en-
counter In this city since the Roller
Stanislaus Zbysko match in Broad
Street park two or three years ago,
and which attracted a crowd esti-
mated at 1000. Because Of the extra
expense incurred to bring Lewis and
Martinse6 together before a Richmond
audience, promoters have found It
necessary, In order to insure an even
break In the boxofYice receipts. to
charge admission to women. There
will. however. be no advance In the
regular prices charged for matches
OF inferior character. Tho ticket sale
opens this morning In the Academy

defeated the Baptists this afternoon,

field did not work with the precision
of a well-seasoned machine. and of
the seven errors committed four al

PRODUCTION Of eggs
PROVES PROFITABLE
Value Of Well balanced Ration for
Hcn-First Cast Shown
No Factor

An experiment made at the New
York state college OF agriculture at
Cornell university. provides some in
tereSting and very valuable informa-
zion on the production OF eggs
through the use OF different rations
OF feed with and without meat scrap
and crushed oyster shells. This ex-
pertinent was not conducted In the
form ef an egg laying contest hut
was worked out for the purpose of
determining the egg producing value
OF the use OF various combinations
of chicken feeds. which the following
record OF the test will show: Ten
Leghorn hens composed the flock of
run for twenty weeks. Pen sixty
one was fed the regular Cornell grain
ration OF cracked corn. wheat ami
oats and a mash feed OF the follow
ing proportions. Corn meal, 500
pounds: wheat rnidds. 500 pounds;
wheat bran. $50 pounds; alfalfa meal,
Atty pounds: oil meal. fifty pounds,
meat scrap, ESQ pounds; salt. one
POI nd. This pen was also furnished
osy.er shell as well as grit and char
coal. During the twenty week period
of the test. 1884 pounds OF food
were consumed. costing. s4.61, Yield
ing sos eggs, valued at 1850, show
ing profit of 5000 over the cost
OF the feed.
In this test, another pen, with the
same number and breed Of hens
and running the same length OF time,
was fed only the Cornell ration. with
both meat scrap and. oyster shell ex-
cluded. The consumption OF food by
flock Of this pen, was 2s4.26 pounds,
costing $4.s0; 1877 eggs were produc-
ed. valued at s4.45, showing a profit
Of only thirty-seven cents over the
cost of the feed.
This experiment shows rather
strikingly. the value of the use Of
me1t oyster shell in the ration OF a
laying hen, as the two pens fed no
meat or shell, were the two poorest
producing pens of the test. and the
two which made the least profit over
feed

ARMY CONTRACTORS HIT
BY FAILURE OF BUDGET
Obligations Of $33, 100000 Cannot
Be Paid Because General Deficiency
Bill Was Not Passed.

The failure of Congress to enact the
general deficiency bill before adjourn :
ment March is proving a serious
| handicap to the military authorities.
who are confronted with obligations,
| mainly in the form of contracts
awarded and In operation. amounting
to S33OOO000 under the quartermaster
general of the army alone. Contracts
to the extent of s13.000,000 have been
awarded for clothing and equipage, and
it was expected that the money neces-
sary to pay contractors on the delivery
of material would be available by
March 4.
Complaints have reached the War De-
partment during the past week from
the firms which hold contracts for the
delivery of forage in the Southern De-
partment where obligations to the eX-
tent of s350,000 have been incurred
without the funds to meet them. That
amount is being increased by the de-
livery of forage at the rate of $4,000
a day. The general situation amounts
to a positive hardship on many buSl-
ness firms, who naturally expected the
War Department would possess funds
for the payment of accounts as the de-
liveries were completed. In many IN
stances it will be necessary for them
to borrow money at perhaps high rates
of interest. for which there Will be no
reimbursement on the part of the gov
ernment The situation is a serious
one, and the War Department is con-
fronted with the possibility that con-
tractors may refuse to deliver material
under existing circumstances.
