The Times says: eat least 10000 adj
ditional men must be sent ou,. The
entire available reserve must be called
up aud the militia and volunteers turn
ed to account Efforts must be made
to increase the local colonial forces,
and further offers OF troops from Can
ada aud other colonies must be sought
and accepted"
The Standard which comments upon
the Seemingly astonishing numbers
of the Boers," is driven to the conject-
ure that a substantial portion of the
Boer commands has been recruited
from the Cape Dutch.
A correspondent thus describes the
position which Lord Methuen as.
saulted: "Magersfontein range termi-
mates on the east with an abrupt saddle
rock, some one hundred and fifty feet
high. Boer entertainments run around
the whole front. The position is some
two miles long, due east and west.
The western ends of the trenches fol.
low the contour of the kopjes and
afford retreat"
IL is estimated that Lord Methuen's
forces amounted to II 900 men. The
long contest began early on Sunday
morning, when the British artillery,
aided by The guns of the naval brigade
with lyddite shells, opened furious can
nonading on the Boer position at Ma
gersfonlein. All day long, a rain of
shells Was poured in an incessant
stream upon the trenches. The Beers
replied with spirit, and an artillery duel
ragged hour after hour, the troops being
held in leash ready for a charge the in
slant the artillery could be sienced.
During the morning hours the fire of
the Beers slackened, and at noon Lord
Methuen ordered the charge.
Up the hull went the men with a
rush, GOV, rcd by the fire of every gun
III the British batteries. But all this
errible shell ing had not driven the
Beers from their position. Undis-
mayed by tQe havoc wrought by the
shells and even forgetting their dread
Of The bursting lyddite, they chung to
their trenches ggedly. AS the Brit
lsh troops swung up the hill, the pro-
tecting fire ceased and then opened up
sucn rife fire as no men could with
stand. From the trenches in front aud
on each flank the unseen foe poured in
murderous fire. Men dropped on
every side. The line wavered mo.
ment. Then, spurred on by the Off
Gers, it dashed forward again with I'M
hinching spirit. Human bravery, how
ever, could not stand under such
fusilade. Again the line halted. The
ground was sprinSled with dead and
dying.
From the trenches on the hillside
came an incessant hail of lead. This
time tae advance Was checked for good.
The troops broke and fled, leaving the
Beers masters OF the field.

WARMING TO FARnGEBs

dealers, who have unwittingly furnish
ed Bird seed rape instead OF Dwarf Is

Farmers raising rape for forage, SOW
the Dwarf Essex variety. This plant
hears thin, short stalk with large sue
cplent leaves, which resemble in APP
nearance and taste the leaves of the
rutabaga turnip. The blant grows about
three feet high on good soil, with
leaves spreading about the same dis

Bird seed rape is a smaller plant with
q slim, tough stalk, bearing few small
leaves which are hairy on top, yellow
blossoms appear few weeks after seed

blossom or bear seed the same year it is
sown.
If hefarmer finds his rape field bear
