A Good Word For Koh1-raba.

A correspondent of the Massachusetts
Ploughman speaks good word for the
kohl-rabi as a feed for milk cows and

cension Saturday afternoon at the fair
grounds in Franklinville, Cattaragus

her costume, such as ordinarily worn by

she was dead. This was her twentieth as

TT is to be hoped that the fortunes Of
the generals in command of the Chinese
forces will soon take a turn for the better.
For with each fresh victory of the Japan
e-e comes the intelligence that the EN-
peror of China has punished those of the
officers whom he regards as responsible
for the defeat of his troops by depriying
them either Of a peacock's feather, a
yellow jacket, a crystal or coral button,
or some other article of attire. If this
sort of thing goes on much longer the uni
forms of the generals of the Chinese
army will be reduced to such primitive
proportions as TO preclude the possibility
of their keeping in the field during the
coming winter.
