LEFT HOOK TO JAW
IS DEMPSEY'S HOPE
Is Even More Effective Fnpo
Perfectins His Form
By The Associated Press

By The Associated Press
Saratoga Springs, N. Y, Sept. S.
Jack Dempsey's famous left hook, a
jolting punch that travels to its tar
get like a shot, undoubtedly is the
blow with which the worlds heavy
weight champion expects to crush the
championship aspirations of Luis An
gel Firpo when they collide in the
Polo Grounds next Friday night.
This is the opinion OF boxing ex-
perts who watched the champion in
hissnappy workout yesterday against
a trio of light sparring partners.
Dempsey used his left continually
while punching the bag, shadow box
ing and against his punch catchers.
The experts agree Dempsey's left is
working faster and with greater nc-
curacy than ever.
Jack Britton, former welterweight
judgment Dempsey had shortened the
swing of the hook slightly, making it
more effective. Britton, a past mas
ter of boxing, watched the champion
from the edge of the ring and mar
yelled at his skill.
II never thought Dempsey could
step around with so much speed and
hit the way he does" he said. HE Is
the first heavyweight I've ever seen
that frequently leads with his right
hand and when he leads with it he
usually lands right smack on the
chin"

PROPER CARE OF
LAMBS IS URGED
Rapid Development and Profit
able Gains During Growing
Period Are important.
FACTORS TENDING TO STUNT
Young Animals Should Not Only Be
Properly Nourished but Also Kept
Free From Various Ailments
Diseases Cause Loss.
Prepared by the United Sta es Department

(Prepared by the United Sta es Department
of Agricuiture.)
The rapid development and profit
able gains of lambs depend largely
upon their freedom from disease and
upon the nourishment they get during
the first few months of their lives, &C
cording to the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. Both disease and
lack of nourishlnent, if continued for
a number of days or weeks, tend TO
stunt the young animals. An animal
once thoroughly stunted requires a long
time for recovery. In fact, four
months, which is usually a desirable
age at which to sell lambs TO the best
advantage, is not sufficient for the an
imal to reeuperate and develop into a
choice market lamb, say the depart
ment specialists. Lambs. therefore,
should not only be properly nourishea
but must also be kept free from the
various ailments Of young lambs If tie
greatest amount Of money is TO lie
realized from them at market tifne.
Proper Care Prevents Disease.
Lambs from weii-fed ewes which
are properly cared for have fey trou-
bles or diseases. There are, however,
several ailments which sometimes APP
pear among lambs which, If not given
attention at the proper time, may cause
considerable loss or affect their earl:
development and hence their market
value and profit.
Some Of the infectious diseases on
lambs, such as joint i'll and others, may
cause quite serious losses. Some OF
these diseases do not respond rapidly
to treatment, but they can be prevent
ed by proper sanitary conditions.
Clean, w~eil-bedded and ~well-ventilated
quarters should be provided for the
ewes and lambs In order 10 prevent
these diseases. Sore eyes or a sore
mouth often develop, particularly If
the flock is kept In unsanitary quar-
tiers o II they are exposed to rainy
weather and the udder and TANKS of
the eve become wet and dirty. In
case of sore eyes among the lambs the
eyes should be cleansed each day until
cured with a 3 per cent solution of
bOric acid or a Is per cent solution Of
argyrol. If the lambs are troubled
with sore mouth all the scab and dis
eased tissue should be scraped away
and the sore covered with sheep dip
or carbolated vaseline.
Remedy for Constipation.
Constipation is one of the most com.
mon ailments of young lambs. This
may be ,remedied by giving one or two
ounces Of castor Oil or linseed Oil.
White scour is another infectious
disease of lambs which may become
quite serious and affect large numbers
Of the lambs where the flock is kept In
~unsanitary quarters. Lambs and their
dams SO affected should be taken from
the flock and isolated. Such lambs
should be given two t%easpoonfuls of
castor oil, which should be followed
for several days by daily doses of one
half ~teaspoonful of salicylic acid.

SPREAD OF WEEDS ON FARM
Large Percentage Of Noxious Plants
Are Put on Farm by improper
Planting Of Seed.

There are many natural agencies,
such as wind, water, animals, etc,
which cause the spread Of weeds.
There is still another way in which
weeds are brought on the farm; that
Is, by sowing seed which has mixed
with Il many weed seeds. A large per-
centage of the weeds are put on the
farm by actually planting weed seeds
with farm or garden crops. In most
cases a farmer sows weed seeds De
cause he Is not familiar with them.
Every farmer should be just as famil-
lar with the bad weed seeds az he is

othy.
