According to news received at Che
Foo, the Japanese line has been
crawn still closer around beleaguered
Port Arthur.
The right wing Of the Japanese line
has penetrated to the vicinity OF
Pigeon bay. while the center has
moved forward from Paling Ching,
which is south Of S%hushiyen and two
miles north Of the town.
Passengers on board the steamer
Decina, which anchored off Port Ar
thur, witnessed the bombardment from
Pigeon bay. The Japanese shells were
visible during their whole course. They
circled comet-like to the town and
their explosions were marked by great
splashes Of fire which shot up into the
sky. The bombardment from this and
other points began at midnight and
lasted until morning. The Russians
did not reply to the Japanese fire.
Major Seaman, formerly a surgeon in
the American army, was a passenger
on the Decina. He says the spectacle
was most brilliant and awe-inspiring.
At some distance out Of Port Arthur
Ave Japanese warships guarded the
harbor.
It is reported that the Port Arthur
garrison has refused to surrender, and
is disinclined to send out non-com-
batants.

Daily Telegraph at Che Foo cables
that refugees arriving there bring
news of a serious condition of affairs
at Port Arthur. They say that Japan

The Nebrasks Epworth Assembly Will
Clear $4,000.
Nearly three thousand dollars above
expenses wal made by the Nebraska
Epworth Assembly at the recent meet
ings at Epworth park in Lincoln.
Treasurer c. e. Sanderson has nearly
all accounts settled. only a few small
items remaining and he announces
that a neat little sum will remain az
ter 5 1000 has been paid the former
owners OF the park as a partial pay
ment Of the purchase price. The gate
receipts were not quite as large as last
year. but the expenses were much
smaller and Mr.. Sanderson says the net
receipts will be as large and possibly
a little greater than they were last
year.
The third installment Of the pur-
chase price for the park has just been
paid. The former agreed to
place the deed to the land in the hands
of the Epworth assembly management
when the third payment was made. The
price to be paid for the land was 49,
900.
A sum amounting to nearly $S,00t
has been spent by the Epworth assem-.
bly, in improving the park. This worl
will continue as the finances permit
until 1t becomes one Of the best chau'
tauQue grounds In the country.

Week Old Cream.

week Old Cream.
The ALTERNATING business Of to
day Is an entirely different PROPOSE
ton from what 1t was Eve years ago,
as the hand separator has made 1t
necessary to use many new and DIFF
fersnt methods than when nothing
but whole milk was received at the
factory. In the first place, cream
which Is a week old ought not to be
accepted by any creamery, no mat
ter whether 1t is a cooperative cream
cry or a central plant. but competi-
ton is SO fierce that 1t Is accepted.
and this puts a premium upon old
cream. because the farmer isn't going
to deliver his e any oftener than
Is necessary to enable him to get the
same price as the farmer who deliv-
ers his cream daily. 1t is my opinion
that 1t is q mistake to mix week old
cream with cream which Is one or two
days old, and In good condition, and I
recommend that this old cream be
p~asteurized. heating It to as high a
temperature as possible without CIV
ing the ream q cooked flavor, and
then cool it to about IS degrees, then
add a good commercial or homemade
starter and then cool 1t down to about
80 degrees. The churning tempera-
ture varies with the season of the
year from 60 degrees In the winter to
52 in the summer. Care should be
taken not to overchurn the butter.
then draw of the buttermilk, add the
wash water, revolving the churn two
or three times, being careful not to
roll the butter 80 as to make 1t
chunky, then drain Off the wash water
and work the butter until the salt is
entirely dissolved. I have made some
experiments and at the present time
am investigating several new ideas.
but. as yet, one Of them have proved
a success, and II 1t Is going to be i'm
possible to force the farmer to bring
his cream oftener than once a week,
1t is my opinion that in the due course
Of time our men who are inventors in

Feed Improves Breeds.

It has been frequently remarked
that dairy breeds Of cattle improve
when they come to this country. Ma
jor Alvord, on his return from a visit
to the islands Of Guernsey and Jersey,
said that we have better Jerseys and
Guernseys than are to be found on
those islands, they having improved
In our hands. Incidentally he men,
tons that the pa%sturage there is high
in price and the COWS have to be
tethered. This indicates that they
have not the abundance of food to
be found in this country. Doubtless
the increase in size in both G~uernseys
and Jerseys is due to tneir more abun.
dant supply of food stuffs. This indi-
Gates that we have the molding of
breeds to a large extent in our own
hands. One thing is certain and that
is that 1t does not do to starve ami
mails in any degree. They may not
show 1t at once, but 1t will appear in
the course Of generations. In fact, the
increase in size has been a matter OF
generations and not of a few years. It
was not till the animals had been in
this country several years that It a
noticed that their size was surely in
creasing. This was more readily
brought about naturally by the fact
that the Jerseys and G~uernseys that
were first imported fell into the hands
of intensive feeders who fed them To
make the most possible out OF them.
Had these animals been given the
same scrub care that some of our
animals receive they would not have
shown the development that We now
see In them.
