hohe jockeys cross Atlantic.
The exodus of American jockeys to
foreign countries still continuée, as
left last Saturday. One of
thsm was Benjamin Rigby, who rode
In England last season and did well,
He was at New Orleans during the
winter but did not accept any mounts.
The other one to sail was Fred Tarai,
better known to racegoers as the
"Lucky Dutchman." This is the first
time he has ever ridden abroad, and
lt is probable he would not have gone
owners believed him a ha^ beem
Tarai is bound for Austria. He is un
der contract to Andre de Pecby and
Baron Sigmund de Lechtritz. Al
though Tarai would not give out the
amount paid for bis retaining fee it Is
said both contracts call for an amount
close to $15,000. Sam Doggett, who will ;
also be seen in the saddle in Austria :
this season, and who left about a week ;
ago, will ride for Nicholas de Szemere
at $8,000 a year. Jockeys receive the

front tier figure missed.
The fighting game misses a familiar
figure in Steve Brodie. He was al
ways conspicuous at championship bat
tles. Once in New Orleans he was un
fortunate In not securing a seat at the
ringside, owing to the heavy advance
sales previous to his arrival in town.
For some time he stood in the rear of
the building, but gradually worked his
way to the middle of the hall. Then
he climbed a post and perched himself
on the rafters. Suddenly he noticed a
vacant seat near the ring and brought
his wits into play to figure out how to '
get into it Finally he made a leap
from the rafters into the crowd and
landed within a few feet of the seat he |
was after. He was not injured by the

jump and apologized to the crowd for
the disturbance by saying, "Excuse
me, gentlemen. I am a little late. I
oame here on the airship and missed
my footing in stepping out." When
the mill was ended he was the first
man to jump into the ring and shake
the hand of the winner.
TAYLOR A WONDER.
The king of all short-distance bi
cycle riders Is that dusky wonder on
wheels, "Major" Taylor. He has beat
en all the cracks on this side of the
water from Tom Cooper down and
there la no one on the other side of
the "ditch" who Is in the same class
with him excepting Jacquelin, the
French crack. Back in 1887 the "ma
jori' was a man-of-all-work for Tom
Eck, Bliss and other cycling men. He
learned to ride and in 1890 went In his
Bret race, a 75-mile road contest, which
he won with a four-minute handicap.
From that time on he did pretty well
as an amateur rarer. In 189G he won
his first great victory over Eddie
"Cannon" Bald in Madison Square
Garden, New York. The same night
he started In a six-day race, finishing
fifth. Teddy Hale, the Irishman, won
this "grind." The following year Tay
lor vanquished Bald, Earl, Kiser and
other cracks at Waltham, Mass. He
fell a victim to Eddie McDuffee in 1898
at middle distance, but vanquished Jay
Eaton in mile heats the following day.
At the L. A. W. championship contests
at Philadelphia In August of that year
he won the quarter, half and one mile
championships in one afternoon.

CHARLEY MITCHELL-S VISIT.
The visit of Charley Mitchell, the fa
mous English pugilist, to this country
has brought up the question as to
whether or not he has any fight left In
him at this late day. The consensus of
opinion is that Charley occupies a pew
very much in the rear. In his day he
was a fairly good man, Tom O'Rourke
being authority for the statement that
he was one of the best ring generals in
the world when at his best. His last
engagement of any consequence was
with Jim Corbett at Jacksonville, Fla,
in 1894. Corbett easily defeated him
in three rounds. Mitchell is now 39
years of age.

journey and seems as good as he ever

is extremely doubtful.

The Practical Bide of
One of the successful horse breeders
of Kansas is T. H. Terry,

In an ad
State Board of Agriculture be gave
some valuable hints to farmers who
contemplate raising horses for mar
ket. In the first place find out what
the market wants. It does not pay to
raise animals that are not in demand.
Select the type that is most popular
and breed to it. Success will depend
upon careful work and persistence.
Horses are of no value unless they are
the best that can be produced,
attention is given to selection and
breeding and the animals are given but
little care low prices are sure to re
suit. A few years ago we were told
that steam and electricity would drive
the horse out of the market, and in
spite of the fact that .apid strides have
been made toward horseless convey
ances, the fact remains that good
horses are and always will be in de
mand. Breeders are now looking for
good sires and for good mares,
will be many years before the market
will be overdone as it was ten years
ago. Any man who will raise good
horses can make money.
Select the best mares that can be ob
tained and procure the very best sires.
Good breeding stock can now be secur
ed in this country; It is not necessary
to go to the old world for stallions. To
m us trate the value of a good sire, Mr.
Terry called attention to the fact that
i n his neighborhood a celebrated sire
had been kept for eight years. In spite
of 'let none of his produce can be
found there today. His colts were In

cannot stand the cultivation that his
hoed crops require, and are rendered
impotent by a well-managed rotation.
Men are constantly trying to and some
easy way of getting rid of weeds.
About every chemical that can be pur- ;
chased will kill weeds, but the cost of
the chemicals and the labor of apply
ing make the problem a big one. In
some cases we have known salt boon- j
tifully sown along the roadways to kui
weeds. The work was apparently ac
complished, but proved to give only a
temporary advantage. The rains di
luted the salt and the land again be
came open to the reception of weed
seeds.
In England and in France experi
ments have been carried forward to as
certain the effect of spraying weeds
with certain chemicals, notably sul
phate of iron solutions. The results
have been what might have been ex
pected—partial success and partial
failure. If we could find some Inex
pensive method by which to annihilate
all weeds it would not be to the ad
vantage of the farmer. The weed is
the thing that tends to make immense
farms unprofitable and tends to en
courage what we call "small fanning."
The many small farms are of more
benefit to the nation than are the few
large ones. Abolish weeds and it
would be easy for the great combina
tions of capital to get control of all
the farm lands. The army of weeds is
a bulwark against such an invasion,
Intensive farming destroys weeds.
Trw^lier*.
L. R. Taft, Professor of Horticulture
in the Michigan Agricultural College,
says: Farmers are frequently advised
not to buy their trees from traveling
agents or dealers. While this advice
can often be followed to advantage,
there are many agents who represent
reliable nurseries and, where the hon
esty of the agent and the standing of
the nursery can be depended upon, it
will be found that trees can be ordered
through the agents that will be fully
as reliable as those that would be ob
growers of California and Oregon have
. signed an agreement to sell their en
; tire product to the California Packers'
tained directly from the nursery, and
the extra price of the trees would be
but little if any more than the cost of ;
the package and express for a small
order. We would, however, particular
ly caution against any persons who
make extravagant claims for the va
rieties they have for sale. While It is
always desirable to secure first-class,
well-grown stock, there will be no oc
casion to pay an extra price for trees
grown by some special or secret meth
od. Although there is some difference
between varieties in their suscepti
bility to attack by diseases and insects
no varieties have yet been obtained
which, under all conditions, are en
tirely free, and no faith should be put
upon the claims of agents who agree
to furnish trees blight or curcuiio
proof for a price considerably higher
than is charged for other kinds.
