WHAT THOROUGH SOIL Pa1PAR.

During the session of a recent irsti-
tute meeting the writer heard a good

father had MOI returned and the boy.
thinking TO retaliate a little and yet
obey orders, continued to work the
field. He plowed it and cross plowed
it; then as the father had not returned.
he cultivated it both ways with a long
bladed c~ultiVator; then, the father be
ing still away he narrowed it and mar
rowed it from every point of the com-
pass. Altogether he spent q week of
time in preparing the field which his
father thought could be well prepared
in two days. When the old gentlernanI
returned he was mad. but as the reply
of the boy was that he had simply
obeyed orders there was nothing more
TO be said, h corn was planted and
the crop was nearly double any pre-
vious corn crop from the same field.
Both father and son We're astonished
at the result and it opened their eyes
to the possibilities of thorough soil

In the capture of Picking the Japa

and courage. The main battle fought
by them was in front of the Chihua

bodies on the hattlemcnted wall on
each side and on the huge tower over
the gate, which contained thousands of
loopholcs commanding the approach to
the gate The japanese lost 200 men in
attempting to storm the wall and were
still at it when the British Indian
troops made an entrance into the city
by way OF the sluice gate and marched
to tie legation close by. The Japs
kept up the fight all day, finally blow

the Japanese abstained from looting
altogether and placed guards over
buildings likely to be plundered.
Partisans of Russia hold that Japan
is in every way inferior to its huge II
val from u military standpoint. AS to
the relative fighting qualities of the
soldiers, they say that Russia has held
Its own against the Turks. in many
ways the finest and most stubborn sol
dicry in Europe, while Japan's only
modern test Oh large scale was when
they faced the half armed, cowardly
and unframed rabble of the Chinese
army in 1894. Impartial observers can
hardly view the situation in that light
AZ regards the naval forces of Japan
and Russia in the waters of the far
east both powers are nearly equal, or
were month or so ago Each power
was represented by six battleships. OF
which the japanese We're in every case
the more powerful. but this feet of six
is the total battleship strength of ia
pan. In armored cruisers Japan has
thirteen. while Russia was represented
by eight.
At the present moment, however, 4
reinforcement Of the Russian fleet Is
on the way to Asia. Scattered between
Gibraltar and Colombo. proceeding
with all speed to the east, are six first
class battleships, doubling the main
fleet strength, and five armored cruis
ers, which will equalize that element
OF the fleet.
II would seem. therefore, that the ad
vantage rests with Russia even should
Japan force naval engagement before
the arrival of the Russian REINFORCE
ments, for should she be victorious at
first her feet could hardly withstand
second trial with fresh squadron
Of equal strength. Unless Japan over
whelms Russia in the first naval en-
gagement with the same ease that the
Spaniards were disposed Of at Manila
hay and Santiago the prospects of her
ultimate victory would seem problem
atical; but. as the Russians are motto
riously poor sea fighters, while the Japs
are born seamen. such result is not
beyond the bounds of reason.
1t may interest Americans TO know
that in the event of fight three Amer
lean built ships will probably take part.
They are the Russian cruiser Variag.
built by the Cramps; the Kasagi, also
Cramp product, and the Chitose, con-
structed by the Union Iron works of
