LONDON. July 20.-The Daily Express
publishes the following from Che Foo,
dated yesterday: "The Russians are
hard pressed around New Chwang and
have been expelled from Tien Chwang
Ial, the scene of the great fight during
tho Chino-Japanese war, where they
have sustained heavy losses. They
have also been compelled to abandon
Tashichau by a large body of Boxers
and armed peasants. Here again the
Russians lost heavily, but it is reported
that they succeeded in killing 700 of
their assailants. The Chinese have
completely demolished the railway
north of Tashichau. The Russians are
now moving on New Chwang."
Russians Defeat Chinese.
5S The Russians, according to the latest
news from st, Petersburg, have COM
pletely defeated the Chinese and have
occupied Blagovestchensk, capital of
Sthe Amur government, with large
force. Since General Gribski, chief OF
staff at Port Arthur, has taken over the
supreme command in Manchuria rein
3forcements have been rapidly pushed
upsand the general situation has been
greatly changed.
There is little doubt that the Russian
authorities We're not prepared for such
an organized Chinese movement in
Manchuria, but they believe that China
will soon be too much preoccupied with
military operations around Pelling to
conduct serious operation, in the north.

To have fresh, crisp, brittle radishes
they should be grown quickly-that is,
the soil should be quite rich and kept
constantly loose and fine as deeply as
possible by frequent hoeings. They
are quite hardy, anG the first sowings
may be made in the open ground when
the trees are starting in leaf. A selec-
ton Of varieties maturing in success
sion should be planted, or else fresh
paintings should be made every week
or ten days. Small paintings made
frequently will give the most satisfac-
tory results for the home garden. For
the earliest paintings select the small,
very early varieties. Later in the sea-
son the larger summer varieties should
he grown, and in July and August
sowings of the winter varieties should
be made. In August and September
sowings should be made Of small early
spring varieties for fall use.
Sow the seed thinly in shallow drills
one-half inch deep and cover with hne
soil. make the rows far enough apart
TO admit of frequent workings, and
when the young plants are well started

averaging the results from the indi-
vidual cylinders there is shown the
following results speaking in terms OF
tons Of water eyaporated from one
acre; No cultivation, 215.1 tons; one
inch deep, 1857 tons; two inches. 7O.e
tons; three inches, 1875 tons; four
inches, 2905 tons.
The set Of cylinders used to show
the effect Of mulches OF various kinds
OF soil were arranged as follows: The
cylinders were carefully filled with
good soil. Two were left for checks
and two inches of soil removed from
each of the other cylinders. This was
replaced by coarse sand, fine sand, clay
and muck.
During the twenty-eight days the
amount Of water evaporated from each
group was as follows: Check, 464
grams; coarse sand, 371A grams; fine
sand As grams; clay. 5S5 grams; muck
1872 grams. In this it appears that
a little fine clay placed above the
good soil helps to pump it out.

prennrlne Soil for n1Inet.

The preparation Of soil for millet
does not differ greatly from the prepa-
ration required for growing the cora
crop. The millets, like corn, are sur
face feeders, and so can use the fer
tility in the soil to best advantage
when it lies near the surface. For this
reason the blowing does not need to
be deep, and the surface Of the soil
should receive the most attention in
the fning. The soils that are heavy
with clay should be avoided, and the
same is true of soils with more than
a fair proportion of sand. 1t is evil
dent that since the plants feed near
the surface a too sandy soil will expose
the roots to the effects Of drouth. As
it is during the heat of summer that
the millet receives its time for devel-
opment it is obvious that it is not
advisable to place the roots in posi-
ton that will make them certain to
be dried out Millets stand drouth
well and grow rapidly, but they must
have a fair soil in which to become
well established.
For the spring crop of millet the
land must be plowed just after the
blowing for corn has been finished.
1t is useless to put the seed in while
the ground is cold and damp, for It
is subject to the same dangers as is
corn; it will rot in tie ground and
have to be replanted. 1t might be put
in at the same time as corn, but where
the corn crop is being put in there IS
no necessity of putting in the millel
till after the corn crop, thus giving
time to do the corn planting properly
Millet grows and natures much
quicker than corn, hence the lack Of
necessity for haste.
When soils that contain much clay
must be used. a good deal of work will
have to be done to get them in shape
This work cannot De done till the
ground is dry enough so the clo0s car
be pulverized by the working. 1t doei
not pay to attempt to grow millet OF
badly prepared clay soil. One reason
why the preparation is often delayed
till after corn planting is that by lat
preparation the weeds are given
chance to start and are then turned
under. They do not again come to tn
surface till the millet has got to grow
ing, when it will keep them down.

Conservation of Moisture.

Howard B. Cannon, writing IN the
Michingan Farmer, tells of Visit 10
the Michigan Agricultural College ana
of his attendance at a lesson IN SOIL
physics. In part he says:
On one table there stand twenty
cylinders of galvanized iron. Each cyl
inder is so CONSTRUCTED as to allow d
column of soil thirty inches deep TO
stand with its lower end touching wa
ter. There is no evaporation allowed
save from the upper end Of the cyl
inder where the soil is exposed TO
the air. The area Of this surface IS
one-tentb of square foot, when

soil was removed to the depth of one

Why not beautify the farm by set
ting out here and there a few ever
green's? Deciduous trees have their
advantages but the advantages Of the
evergreens are peculiar to themselves.
In winter, when other trees are bare,
the eYergreens have a peculiar interest.
Who has not contrasted an evergreen
forest in winter with a forest of oaks
or other trees? Even in the cold and
windy days there is a calm among the
eyergreens that rests and almost
warns one. We do not advise the
planting Of evergreens in excess, nor
in positions where they will surround
the house, but in places where they
may be of value and beauty. We
have seen them planted 80 thickly
about houses that they became men
ace to the health of the family. We
have seen them planted in lawns by
the hundreds and SO close that many
OF them had TO die out and presented
the appearance from year to year Of
red and unsightly dead trees. But
planted in a grove and on land that is
Of little value for other things they
add to the beauty Of the farm. Often
there are rocky hill tops that can be
utilized. In the east most of the
mountains are forested with ever
greens that have taken root and de-
veloped even where the soil would APP
pear too poor and thin to support any
thing. This fact should be a sugges-
ton on how to utilize our bare and
rocky hill-tops.
