War I'm the snow and Peace In
Nubibus.


For Russia to continue her military oper-
atoms in season when nine hundred
horses perish at one point in o single storm
shows her faith in the hardihood of her
own men, or her conviction that the present
advantage must be pushed to the utmost at
whatever cost of comfort or life. AT home,
in Russia, these same soldiers would be
exposed in great degree to severer weather
than they have yet had to face in Bulgaria;
but the difference is that if they were at
their homes, or in garrisons in Russia, they
would not be caught out in heavy storms
on arduous marches, where shelter and
warmth are impossible while the storm
continues. The days or nights Of any
ordinary weather. in Bulgaria the Russian
soldier can safely face, and if a storm prove
destructive to life it is possible that the
army would not lose more in that way than
it would lose in the season by going into
winter quarters; for it's general health will
be better if it is kept active in climate
which, on the whole, is milder than that in
which the men were bred. Perhaps, there
fore, the Russian administration is not
greatly at fault in keeping the army on foot,
while the advantages to be gained are such
as would justify taxing the endurance OF
the army to it's utmost. At the present
moment there is really no resistance.
Wherever the lines come in contact or only
threaten to come into contact the Ottoman
force melts away. On the LON the Turks
no longer stand, and in Roumelia they
abandon one position with the fattering unc-
ton laid to their souls that they will defend
resolutely the one behind it, and then
abandon this with Similar extravaganza in
good intentions. This cannot last always;
but it must last in the winter weather. for
the Turkish supply department., wretched
even for the summer, can scarcely be said to
exist now. With SO resolute purpose and
SO fair chance to secure all the fruits of
the present Turkish collapse before Turkish
resistance can again be made effective the
Russians can afford to be we'll disposed with
regard to peace and to deal gently with the
inquiries on this subject that have been
made from England This they may the
more readily do if the English government
mas lnuue CO tueu tue representations re-
ported. 1t is said, for instance. that the
English government has expressed to the
Russian Cabinet its apprehension that Rus
sian occupation of Constantinople, though
merely provisional, would so excite Eng
lish public opinion that the government
would be compelled to take certain precau-
tionary measures. That is to say, that any
precautionary measures" that England
may take must not be understood in ST.
Petersburg to mean war, nor be taken in any
other respect seriously, but must be under
stood as intended to placate the popular
clamor in England, which may force the
government to assume hostile attitude
contrary to its purpose. If this declaration
has been made it is clear that it relieves
Russia of any embarrassment with regard
to England, and will certainly defer peace
till Turkey is ready to make it on her own
account.

From the Sp rt Of kansas.
1t has been matter of surprise to MS
why our farmers do not make more use
of the Usage orange hedge for fencing
in their farms and inclosing their fields.
That this hedge plant is hardy and will
stand our summers drouth and winters
cold remarkably well is proved beyond
doubt. That it makes u good and per-
manent fence, if properly set out and
cared for, is equally certain. That it
can be more cheaply constructed than
any other fence Offering equal security
is well attested fact. Themuin reason
why this fence is so little used is, we
suspect, the length of time that it takes
to establish it so that it will answer the
purpose of turning stock. In those
counties where there is no nerd law the
cultivated fields must be secured at
once, against the depreciation of cattle,
and the farmer cannot wait for the slow
growth Of the hedge to attain an end
that must be realized atonce Still, the
board or rail-fence first constructed will
in few years decay and need replacing,
and what kind of fence can be made
more cheaply to take its place than the
Usage orange?
The land for the line of the fence
might be broken some time in the sum-
mer or fall. A man with a good team in
single day could turn over the sod of
a strip mile in length and wide enough
for setting the plants. Another lays
work in the early spring would suffice
to prepare the ground for the reception
of the plants. Six days work If deft
hand would be enough to set them out.
The plants themselves would cost not
over ten dollars. If the plants were
such as they ought to be and were care
fully set out not onoin hundred would
fail to live and grow. The first cost of
preparing and planting 800 rods would
not exceed Is cents rod, The neces-
sary labor of cutting back and trimming
the hedge for the four years, requisite
for its firm and permanent establish
ment, would not cost more than the
first setting, so the whole cost of the
fence would at these figures amount
only to about 36 cents per rod.
If the above calculations are accurate,
and We do not think they can be far ont
of the way, the osage orange hedge
would be cheap and give general salts
faction. We know that many attempts.
to grow this fence have proved failures;
but these failures have uniformly re-
suited from want of due care and atten-
tion in the selection of living plants.
Where there has been a strict compli-
ance with these three conditions of sue
cess, which have been limited at, we do
not believe that failure could happen
in one case out of twenty.

THE MARKETS.
WEEKLY GRAIN REVIEw.


We are indebted to Nessrs, Powers,
Lynde Wright, of Kansas City, for the fol-
lowing reliable review of the grain trade:
Wheat-The fluctuations In values of
breadstuffs during the past week have been
OF tritling character. In cur home mar
kets the general tone has been undecided,
with strong tendency to sell down the
markets at the first receipt of dispatches
indicating anything like peaceful adjust
ment between Russia and England. For
eign markets have been firm without
change, Liverpool opening to-day at the
same figures on spring and winter wheat
quoted week ago. The political outlook
in Europe is threatening and dangerous to
a great degree. Warlike preparations con-
tinue without abatement on the part of
England, and Russia refuses to Withdraw,
for the present, her forces from the vicinity
Of Constantinople. Every effort is being
made towards mediation by Germany,
while the situation Is Of that delicate ma
ture that any day may precipitate war or
lead to permanent peace. English and
French country markets are generally re-
ported dearer, and supplies for the United
Kingdom for the week ending April 18th
show deficiency under consumption of
half million bushels. Our Export Clenr-
ances" continue large, amounting TO / IT.
0i2 bushels for the week ending April 18th,
while the general movement to interior
markets and the seaboard has not lessened.
Present appearances OF growing crop are
all that could be desired and an Increased
area Is being utilized for spring planting.
Corn-In this grain there Is less specula-
ton, and naturally Its range of values is less
disturbed by the sensational rumurs con-
corning the relations of England and Rus
sia. There has been slight improvement
in prices In English markets, and while our
exports 10 the United Kingdom keep we'll
up. English stocks are fast being reduced.
Under such circumstances, and with feed
ing stuffs dearer in French markets, there
ought to Le continual active demand for
our supplies.
Cats-A steady demand for the higher
grades OF oats continues and orders for for
eign account are increased. Prices arc
steady and unchanged.
Rye-The movement In this grain has i'm
proved, prices are fraction higher and
steady order trade with the continent has
sprung up which promises to take largely
OF our supplies.
Freights-No change from the Chicago
rate of 10c and ST. Louis of &c on corn and
wheat has been made. Though lake and
canal rate from Chicago to New York is
quoted at $40 bushel on corn.

British Enthusiasm.
Great enthusiasm was manifested in
military circles Of England on its becoming
known that the whole OF staff and commits

stringent orders from the war oflce to hold
themselves in readiness for immediate ac-
tive service. In addition, 1t was stated II at

Jealousy the Cause.
The present unsatisfactory state of
things between Russia and England is due
moro to feelings Of mistrust and jealousy
than to any other cause. Unfortunately
the negotiations do not advance as quickly
as the armaments.
