chinese Troops mt Peitaichu.

Shanghai, Oct. 8.-A small body OF
imperial Chinese troops appeared at
Peitaichu yesterday. They informed
the British garrison that their pur.
pose WIS to dispense the Boxers, and
they were not molested by the Brit
ish. 1t is announced that the Ger
mans will winter 5000 men in Pekin.
The British are reducing their force
in preparation for the winter. One
thousand coolies will start for India
soon; and the Indian cavalry will
probably be withdrawn. The volume
of business being done is steadily in-
creasing, especially in the Japanese
and American districts.

SUN VS.. SEA.

Sun Bath.


rho New Hygienic Treatment Ia Hot
sun Bath.
Doubtless those who understand the
affair are convinced this Is the right
time to bring before the public tho
new hygienic treatment by means OF
Sun baths, but In hot weather II Is a
brave person who will stop to consider
the question when water Is available.
Scarcely any one would give up sea
or lake bath for sun bath when tho
thermometer is dallying In the 90s.
However, we are told, we shall yet
come toe regard the idea with favor.
Sea and lake bathing Is a modern In
stitution, comparatively speaking. A
Wholesale exodus to the sea or lake
shore Is rather new and whereas now
everybody with a dollar to his name
flies In vacation time to some such re-
sort a century ago not per cent Of
the population would have dreamed of
sending whole families away to the re-
sorts, as Is now done. AS, therefore,
we have come to regard the sea and
lake essential, IL is said In time we
will come to consider the sun bath ne
cessary, though how 1t is to be popu-
larized Is the question. In the first
place, II is cheap and will be common.
for everybody can have 1t without NOV
ing away from home. Speculative
builders and hotel keepers will not
like II, for It will be fad doing them
no good. One advantage sun bathing
will have is that people need not make
themselves hideous in order to enjoy
1t. Girls will not have to hide their
pretty curls under caps and SO trans
form themselves into monstrosities.
Gowns can be worn that water would
not permit and altogether the idea may
become the fashion In time.

Armed with Stones They Attack Body
of Non-Strikers.
Hazleton, Pa, Oct. eight Italians,
employed on the night shift of the
Calvin, Pardee G Co. colliery at Latti-
mer, were attacked on the public road
leading from that place to Hollywood
early this morning by twenty-five
women who had marched from Mines
Vile. The women were mostly Hun
garians and Italians. They left Mines
vile at 4 o'clock, marched through
Lattimer, two miles distant, and wait
ed to attack the men working in the
Lattimer mine as they passed along
Hollywood.
A few of the women were armed
with clubs. but most of them carried
stones of all sizes in their aprons. The
first non-striking mine worker to leave
the colliery were the little band OF
eight Italians. They saw the women
on the road ahead of them, and sus-
pecting an attack. crossed the field in
an endeavor to avoid them. The wom-
EN-, however, were on the alert, and
they also crossed the field, and, over
taking the men hurled showers of
stones at them. The workmen did not
attempt to defend themselves, but ran
away. and were soon out of the re1ch
Of the fury of the excited women.
One man received severe cut on the
head, while several others were struck
by pieces of rocks, but were not seri-
ously injured. The women returned
to their homes. satisfied with theiJ
demonstration.
There was to have been a march OF
women and men from McAdoo and
Evansville to Lattimer early this
rmornlng. but for some reason it was
fcalled off at midnight 1t may be made
tomorrow morning.

TO show an ugly disposition. They are
seen In greater numbers on the high
ways and, as some of them carry clubs,
a collision between them and the coal

any time.

AGRICULTURAL.
SOllink Crops.

An old sdage hath it that closing the
barn door after the theft of the horse is
not the best method of preventing
burglary. Yet it is held to be worth
while as a discourager of further pill
fering.
The dairyman who within the past
few weeks has seen his COWS shrinking
and his creamery checks dwindling
feels inclined to shut the barn door and
stop the loss. How may he do this
best2 If he has planted soiling crops
like peas and oats, Hungarian millet
and the like and has been supplement-
ing the dying pastures with green feed
in the barn or yard, he nas closed the
door before rather than after the theft
has prev ented rather than cured.
Moreover, the necessity for the summer
feeding of grain is greatly lessened.
If he has no recourse to soiling crops,
nothing but buying grain can lessen the
shrinkage.
The Vermont experiment station has
for many years experimental with sun
dry soiling crops and as a result of its
work recommends to Vermont dairy
men the large use of summer silage and
of oats and peas sown at weekly inter-
walls and fed during July and August.
Silage is probably the cheaper food {;
oats and peas somewhat the better. If
the former is contemplated as a steady
summer diet for years, it would be well
to consider the erection of special
summer silo, preferably round, with a
small feeding area, small diameter
and a relatively great depth. Silage
spreads over large surface in summer,
spoils rapidly and loses largely in feed
ing value.
If oats and peas be chosen they
should be sOwn in successive lots at
weekly intervals, the two sown separ-
ately, the peas first rather deeply and
narrowed in; the oats two or three days
later and pushed in. A better catch is
likely to be secured in this way than if
sown together. The crop may be eth
er fed green, hayed or put in the silo.
Let those whose July and August
milk yields prove disappointing try 81
lage or oats and peas next year. They
may not be panaceas, but they will
help greatly to overcome "that tired
feeling" which affects so many YER
mont dairymen when midsummer
creamery returns come in.-Vermont
Experiment Station.

last Tuesday aggregated 2l47 cattle, 40 sheep
and lambs, 372 swine, 731 veal calves, q
horses and $50 pounds poultry.
The quality of Northern and Eastern beef
cattle on offer averaged better. The de-
mand in consequence was more active and
prices were more satisfactory. Sales: cat
tie, average 1866 pounds, SC; cattle, aver
age 1880 pounds, SC; 2 cattle, average 1405

COWS, average $40 pounds, Sc; beef cows,
average 800 pounds, Ste.
For milch cows there was very fair de-
mand. Choice in fact are almost urgently
wanted.
The market for veal calves was quiet and
inclined to be weak. The supply was SUI
perabundant Sales: calves, average Id
lbs, sic; 10 calves, average 140 lbs, &c; is

There was very little done in sheep or
lambs so little that prices would not prove

tant extent, buyers and sellers being apart
In their views OF value. The asking price
was 5hc, which was tc above the average

One of the worst weeds in Vermont,
northern New York and adjoining ter
ritory is the Orange Hawkweed or
Paintbrush. 1t lie comparatively new,
having been introduced in recent years,
and is gaining ground very rapidly in
localities favorable to it.
1t is a European plant, though not re-
garded as bad weed in its native
land. 1t was brought over from Eu-
rope as flower garden plant, and is
still sometimes sold by seedsmen and
planted by gardeners in Europe and
America.
The first plants in Vermont came
from seeds distributed as premium
by one of the leading agricultural jour
nails of New York State. Within the
last decade the plant has been spread
ing as a weed in an alarming manner.
Investigations at the Vermont Expert
ment Station have shown that it is al
ready the worst weed known in some
parts of Vermont, and is continuing
each year to invade new areas. 1t is
easily recognized by its fiame-red flow
ers and. spreading hairy leaves. The
first blossoms open in June. If these
are moved it continues to send up
scattering flower stalks during the rest
of the summer.
Fortunately clean cultivation will kill
it wherever it is practiced. One of the
serious difficulties is that the weed is
allowed to spread along many road
sides to the menace of the adjacent
farm lands.
The really great danger, however, is
that it rapidly invades the rocky soil Of
hill pastures, and when once fully es.
tablished in such places it is practically
impossible to exterminate it. The
owners of such fields should carefully
guard them against it. Every plan
found should be promptly uprooted or
better still, killed out by salt. TIL,
weed is very sensitive to salt, which
should be scattered broadcast 80 as tC
reach the leaves of all plants. If no
too much salt is used, it may serve as {
fertilizer to the grass. The salt doe
not act as poison, but kills the weed
by drawing the water out of the leaves
In order to act most thoroughly, there
fore, dry salt (not brine) should b.
applied, and this should be done durini
dry hot weather.-Vermont Expert
ment Station.
