A dispatch to he London Chronicle
from Athens says the Greeks have cap.mr-
ed Menaxa after severe fighting. Inc
Turkish losses were very heavy; the
Greek comparatively light. The CORE

tured and hold all the positions except
Ana and Milouna along the Thessallan

Does Not Seek Conquest.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press understands that Turkey has no
idea Of territorial conquest, because she ID
aware that the powers would not sanct'on
an advance to Athens. The idea Is that
she will first attempt to capture Larissa,
and then march on Trichala and Phanari.
If these also are captured Turkey would
be in a position to compel Greece to COM
ply with the demands of the powers. Inc
Turkish feet. however. is still in the OAR

Feeding Corn Fodder.

Instead Of getting a hay-cutter for
cutting all the corn fodder, l would
advise feeding it long, and letting the
animals eat what they will. If it were
fairly well cured, a large part will be
eaten. if not fed too freely. Then
would gather the stalks that are left
and chop them fine enough to handle
well, say three or four inches long, and
put them in large box or half-hogs-
head. Then pour boiling water over
the mess, and sprinkle a quantity Of
meal and shorts over it, and cover it
tightly. and let it remain over night.
Feed in the morning. and. If the stalks
are eaten with relish. l would con-
tinue the practice as long as found it
satisfactory. A trial lot can be cut
with an AK and block. or course, moth
ing has been added to the nutritive val
lie of the stalks, but the hot water will
soften them, and, perhaps. make them
palatable, so that more will be eaten.-

War has broken out between Greece
and Turkey. Fierce battles have been
fought ut Karya, at Milouna Pass and ut
Prevesa on the Gulf of Aeta. The most
desperate battle was fought at Milouna
Pass, where 10000 men fought more than
thirty hours without food or sleep. Dip
lomatic relations between the two nations
have been severed. Turkey insists that
Greece has provoked the conflict by her
aggressive ATTITUDE on the frontier of
Macedonia. On the other hand, Greece
insists that Turkey has been the aggres-

of the conflict, seems now to be overlook

Eggs for Matching.

Eggs for Matching should be very
carefully gathered in the afternoon Of
each day and placed in basket lined
with soft paper. Keep the sitting eggs
in the sitting room; the temperature Of
the room should be about fifty degrees.
1t is a good plan to mark the date OF
the month on each egg as it is brought
in. To have fertile eggs the hens must
be given a good range, and be fed va
riety of food, such as wheat screenings,
cracked corn, boiled vegetables, meat
scraps and above all have grass plot
of small patch Of green rye to run
over. Set the hens early, make the nest
In a square box that can be pushed from
the laying room into the sitting room.
BY this arrangement the hens will not
be disturbed. A little daily looking at
ter-to supply them with water and food
Is all that will be needed. l would not
advise any one to buy an incubator un-
less he is going into the chicken busi-
ness In earnest. You cannot make mon
ey in chickens taking it as side issue.
If you are after eggs and poultry for
home consumption. and do not want
much bother, leave the incubator alone.

Farm Notes,

for the growth Of lambs in both car
cass and fleece.
A reputation cannot be made in
day, but when the fruit grower makes
a reputation it adds to his capital, a.
he will secure better prices and will
always have demand for his produce.
All fruit marketed should be labeled
with the name Of the grower.
Grapes should be trimmed while the
weather is cold. If they are trimmed
in the spring they will bleed; that ID,
sap will run from the ends Of the
shoots that have been cut and the
vines will be weakened. II cut now
these ends will be healed by the time
sap begins to flow and the liability Of
damage will be reduced.
That such plants as Venus fly-traps.
actually catch and squeeze to death
flies and other insects alighting on their
leaves has long been known, but the
discovery is comparatively recent that
the plants digest the softer parts Of
their prey by means Of peptic fer
ment secreted by the leaves. These,
then, are real instances Of plants feed
ing upon animals.
Professor Plumb, of Purdue Univer-
sity, in his work on corn culture, says
he finds it satisfactory to put seed cornl
on the ear In common brown c0ffee
sacks, which are hung from the rafterD

essentials in preserving seed corn are
to dry 1t thoroughly before hard free1-
ing weather and to keep 1t secure from
rats and mice. Any plan that secures

TOPICS FOR FARMERS
n DEPARTMENT PREPARED FOR
OUR RURAL FRIENDS.
The Action of Frost FavOrs Plant
Growth-HOw to Select Eggs for
Matching Better to Feed Corn
Fodder In Full Length.
The Action of Frost.

The principle on which the frost acts
favorably in improving filth is in the
rupturing of the soil particles by ex.
pansion. The action of the frost causes
to expand the soil particles and the
water with which the earth may be
charged. The result Is that the soil
particles are broken and separated in
somewhat the same manner as bottle
or jug in which water has frozen is
broken. The further result is that in
proportion as fineness Of soil Is more
favorable to seed and plant growth. so
the more completely the soil is divided
by repeated freezingsa and thawings dur
ing the time between crops, the better
for the coming crop.
1t is noted in this connection that one
need not, as in spring tillage, wait until
the soil is quite dry before spad1ng. for
it Is an advantage rather than other
wise to work it so wet that it leaves the
spade in unbroken clods; the more in
terstices in the mass after it Is thrown
over the better. The difference in the
following spring and summer between
soil that has been fall-worked as out
lined and that which has remained I'M
touched until spring, is most marked.
Beds that were thus thrown up roughly
in the fall come out in the following
spring mass of earth as fine as an ash
heap. To overlook the gain that comes
from killing the larvae Of various de-
structive insects by turning up the soil
before winter would be a mistake. 1t Is
known by many actual tests that they
die in large numbers by winter freezing.

Drappinu Corn stubble Land.


So soon as frost is well out Of the
ground in spring, two horses with
heavy drag should be run over the corn
stubble Of last year. 1t Is an excellent
preparation for blowing. tightening and
drying the surface soil, so that when
1t is turned under the furr0w 1t ct

treated makes an excellent seed bed for
grain. The work also is just what
horses need to break them in for the

Off for Alaska.

hcKianon and NcCabe, two we'll
known miners of Virginia City, left
San Francisco last Thursday on the
steamer Scotia for St. Michaels. For
$500 each the steamship company
contracts to take them to St. Mich
aels' by steamer and tranship them
thence by fiat boat to Dawson City.
The steamship company also agrees
to furnish each passenger with 1900
pounds OF provisions, which will be
transported to Dawson along with
1900 pounds of baggage or freight,
which each man must provide for
himself.
The provisions provided by the
company will keep them for a year
and half or two years. The 1000
pounds of baggage will include what
ever McKinnon and McCabe regard
as necessary in clothing and tools.
1t is estimated that this latter outfit
can be furnished in first-class style
for $3.50. It will therefore be seen
that NcCabe and McKinnon will, for
$3.50 each, land in Dawson equipped
to prospect for 10 months or tive
years without further expense.
They will go all the way by water,
and the trip will entail no hardships
upon them. The steamer upon which
they travel to st. Michaels' is limited
to 40 passengers and their provisions
and baggage. II they meet with nc
delay in ascending the Yukon they
will reach Dawson by September 10.

Tom Alleys Death.

Last Wednesday Frank Cagwia
received dispatch announcing the
death OF Thomas Alley, formerly a
resident of this place. Details of the
affair are meager, but as near as we
can learn he was run over by tram
on which he was employed as brake
man. He was not missed until the
train reached Hardwick station; then
the train was backed out four miles
in search of him. He was found hor-
ribly mutilated. 1t is believed that
he fell between the cars, as the wheels
passed over both legs below the knee
and over bis breast; the wheels also
passed over both wrists. Life was
extinct when he was found.
Deceased leaves widow and two
little children. Mrs. Alley is daugh.
ter of the late T. J. Murphy and a
sister of Mrs. Frank Cagwin. She
was raised from childhood in Haw-
thorne. The bereaved family have
the heartfelt sympathy OF many
warm friends in their affection.
Mrs. Cagwin left for Stockton on
Wednesdays train to attend the fun
eral. 1t is probable that Mrs. Alley
will accompany her sister to Haw-
thorne.
