Firing throughout the day.
We have not advanced any fur
ther, but we threw up intrench
ments during the night, from be
hind which the musketry duel
continued from exactly the same
position as Yesterday"
London, January 24.-It is
generally recognized that the
Boer position if ever taken can
only be captured at "a tremendous
cost.
A dispatch from Pretoria, dat
ed Tuesday, January %, says ::
-Four or five times during the
day the British replaced their
wearied soldiers by fresh ones.
The Boer casulties to date are
one man killed and two men
slightly wounded. Our men are
in excellent spirits. There has
been large slaughter of British.
Gen. Botha is now in sole com
msnd. Gen. Cronje having been
sent elsewhere"
The same dispatch, apparent
ly referring to the situation at
Coienso, says: "One of the large
Boer Maxims wac temporarily
disordered. but was soon repaired.
The British northern camp is in
confusion. People are observed
trekking aimlessly in all direc.
tons"

A Musical Snake.

The Pittsburg Times is respon-
sible for this tale of black snakes
who loved music not wisely but
too well. One Of the ophidians
became so proficient in musical
knowledge that he crawled into
a church with number of com
panions, wiggled up on the organ
bench, pushed up the lid with
their aid, grasped with his tail
the lever that started the water
motor and proceeded to play the
organ with his head. varying the
performance by crawling over the
keys. He scared the choir nearly
into fits one Sunday by entering
during service time.

THE ENGLIsH.BOER WAR.
The Boer Gibraltar, Which Bull
Ter Is to Assault.

London, January 25-4.15 A.
M.-The morning papers went to
press with conjectures and fore
casts of all sorts. striving to guess
out something from Spion Kop.
Spion Kop is the highest part
of a rocky plateau. Eastward for
eight miles are the Boer positions
along the Tuegela. North west
ward from Spion Kop the plateau
runs gradually up to great spur
of the Drakensberg.
Gen. Buffers infantry, TO reach
the summit of Spion Kop, must
cross natural glacis three-quar
ters of mile wide and climb five
hundred feet up steep slope.
Nobody seems to know, not
even the war office, what Lord
Roberts has done with his large
reinforcement. Six thousand
troops awaited his arrival at Cape
Town and since then six thous.
and others have reached there.
Military critics are all hoping
that good share of these 10000
have gone to help Gen. Butler,
and they argue that a few DAYS
wait may make him strong
enough to overcome the deadlock.
There are nineteen thousand
troops at sea. and this heavy
weight on the British side is eX-
pected to destroy the equilibrium
now existing on every field of op-
erations.
The British losses up to date in
killed, wounded and captured, ac-
cording to Gen. Buffers last list.
make a total of S,216 men.

to fight almost interminably, hav-
ing in'renched their ridge, which
stretches in an almost unbroken
line from the Drankensburg
Mountains many miles eastward.

Gardening on a Rented Farm.
HOWARD NJ. SMITH, IN PRACTICAL
FARMER.


Many tenant farmer makes
no effort to raise enough to sup
ply his own, let alone furnishing
any other table with the veget-
ables that may be raised on a
farm with but little extra work.
The writer is one of the class
known as book farmers, and al
though but tenant farmer, has
had very fair share of success,
as his neighbors will attest. What
money he has made over and
above the rent and living expen-
ses has been solely from the sur
plus OF vegetables sold to local
customes. Many of them farmers

sary to supply the house with
milk and butter. The family for
nine months of the year averages
six, the other three, June Is to
September 18th, from thirty to
thirty five. Readers will say
that is a large family, but most of
them are of that most particular
class known as city boarders, who
require nothing but the best and
pay as little as the farmer will
take them for per week. After
supplying the table with a
variety of vegetables the surplus
of good vegetables, not culls, are
sold. He finds that culls are the
bane of vegetable dealers, and
good vegetables the secret of
success of some sellers. From
S75 to $125 worth annually are
sold with but little extra trouble.
