ARMIES FACING EACH OTHER.

The Japanese and Russian armies are practically
facing each other in northern Corea, and yet the
long expected battle does not materalize says the
Post ntelligencer Neither feels itself strong enough
to attack, and each is hurrying reinforcements to
the 'front.' improving its communications and pre-
pairing for the struggle 1t seems to be a waiting
game.
Foreign military critics are of the opinion that
the delay in the commencement of active hostllites
is rather more to the advantage of Russia than OF
Japan. Their view is that if Jaapn had proceeded
in her land operations with the same expedition and
dash that she operated ON the sea the result might
have been the same The Russians would have been
caught unprepared and crushing blow or two might
have been planted which would have given Japan the
Odds Now, it is theorized, the vastly superior re-
sources of Russia will enable her to take advantage
of the long lul and get in shape to resist japanese
advance.
The censorship on correspondents, temporarily re-
laxed, seems drawn tighter than ever, and for the
moment no further dispatches are permitted from
northern Corea 1t can be surmised what the mean
ing Of this is. Previous forecasts that rigid cen
sorship on correspondents meant that an important
move was on, which it was thought advisable to con
ceal, have proven inaccurate. No important move Of
any magnitude, save the general advance into north
ern Corea, was chronicled when the correspondent
were permitted to send their reports after having
| been choked off for awhile

Venezuela at The Hague, and has melted hatred OF
them and their government by sheer lying.
There is no doubt that this course was taken by
Castros orders, for when Bowen appealed against
these calumnies to him and the minister of foreign
affairs he refused to compell a correction of the
falsehoods, declaring that he would not limit the
freedom of the press AT the time he suppress

truth about his own conduct This conduct is exas-

"Leading Us to Prosperity"

Governor Sparks has never been ac-
cused, even by his enemies, if he has
any, of being hypocrite. That the
following words of praise came from
the heart, there is, then, no doubt. In
introducing President Roosevelt to
the people of this State at Carson City
on May 10Th, 1903, the Governor
said:
eve have with us today our Presi-
dent. Our soldier He is not the
first President we have had that was
soldier. General Washington was a
soldier; General Grant was soldier;
and Americas Grand Old Man was a
soldier-Andrew jackson.
1--WE have, | think, the second
Andrew Jackson with us today.
'In time of war he too was a soldier.
In time ofpeace he is a peacemaker
and hard worlzer-a leader.
"There is not money enough in the
world to influence or buy one hair in
his head. As say he is a leader, and
he is leading us to prosperity. Under
his administration we will continue to
enjoy prosperity

BODY OF GIRL IS
FOUND IN WELL.
Mystery Surrounds Death of Miss KAN
rath in Town of Muskego-Be
lieved to Be Suicide.

Prospect. Wis, Aug 16.-[SpeciaLl-
The body of Elizabeth Kamrath, Is years
old, was found in cistern near the farm
house Of her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Au
gust Kamrath, well-to-do farmers, in the
town OF Muskego in this county All
circumstances in the case point to sui
eide. Deputy Sheriff Vincent Scholl and
Coroner Charles Hill went to the scene.
No marks Of violence were found upon
the girl and the general theory of suicide
IS given credence.
Miss Kamrath had been working in
Milwaukee a short time ago and had
there met young man, who, about a
month ago committed suicide and it is
thought that his death caused the young
girl to take her life
Sunday picnic was held near the city
and Miss kamrath attended. She re-
turned early in the evening and retired
about 9 o'clock. Next morning her bed
was found to be empty and a search re-
suited in the finding of her body in the
well. She was only partially dressed.
The funeral is to be held Thursday morn
ing in Milwaukee.

General Farm Notes


Long and hard pulling makes wind
broken horses.
If SOW breeds well and is a good
mother, keep her until she is old.
Early and thorough training makes
gentle, safe and tractable horses.
Clean off the ground occupied by
peas, early corn or potatoes and sow
turnips.
Always breed from a thoroughbred
boar Of good constitution and vigor.
His vigor should be in excess Of that
of the sow.
With poultry, as with nearly all
other products from the farm, q safe
rule is to market the surplus when
ever a fair profit can be realized when
making the sale.
Among thoroughbred poultry there
is little difference so far as their econ
omical points are concerned, but on
a farm a solid. strong and coarse breed
is best.
Those who make the most in keep
ing poultry are those who have small
farms and utilize every rod of them
for the production Of food or pasture
for their stock.

Handling Fowls in Yards.


Where it is necessary to keep the
fowls confined to houses and yards dur
ing the summer and not much chance
to divide the yards, the best way TO
handle them is to have the yards OF
four-foot netting, the top covered over
as well, and every few weeks move
these yards to a new location, where
fowls have not been the present year.
This is considerabl trouble. but it
must be done if chicks and fowls are
kept on small area. If it is not pos
=sibIe to let the fowls have a range.
then green food must be provided In
some way. A good plan Is to give
them some cut grass or weeds at night
just before they go to roost.
A better plan is to rake up the cut
tings following the lawn mower, for
they can consume these short blades
better than grass cut with a scythe.
All fowls in confinement ought to be
allowed to run for an hour or two each
night even though it is necessary for
several people to keep them out Of mis-
chief. This run will do them a world
~of good, and the egg results will pay
for the trouble Of watching them.
Don't forget the necessity for an
abundance Of fresh water several
times daily.

The New Peach Disease.

The disease called Little Peach Is
giving serious trouble to orchardtsts
In New York and Michigan, and the
subject is being investigated by Gov
eminent experts. The cause is due. in
part at least, to a fungous growth
which attacks the roots, but the cause
has not been positively proved. The
malady somewhat reser1 S,es peach vel
lows In its effect. The main symp-
toms are the small size of the fruit
without special spots or blotches; the
general feebleness and final yellowine
of the trees ana their gradual decline
and death without apparent cause. The
disease often spreads in a circle from
the tree first attacked. The spread
is slow, generally taking from three
to five years or more to spread through
an orchard. The only remedy yet dis
covered is to pull out the diseased
trees as soon as the first symptoms
appear, and this course is the one
urged by the agents of the depart
nent.

Shade for the Swine.

Shade for swine Is quite as neces-
ssary as for other animals, and when
lone has a tree or two in the pasture
the question of shade Is readily set
tied. If there are no trees plant three
> or four, and while they are growing
use portable houses for shade, making
them with a sill set on runners and
with a ring set in the front sill SO
THAT horse may be attached and the
house moved when necessary. These
houses may be made Of any cheap
material and the roof arranged SO that
portion of it may consist of tree
limbs laid over the boards set far
S apart. The cost need not be great
and the results will pay for the time

Cold tea is good for cleaning varnish.
Vanished paint with tea which is
slightly warm.
Before boiling milk or making any
sauce with milk always rinse out the
saucepan in cold water.
When juice is left from canning it
may be boiled low, made into jelly
or syrup for fiavoring purposes.
Macaroni should be kept III an air
tight receptacle and when cooked
plunged into boiling sailed water.
The skins Of new potatoes can be
removed more quickly with a stiff
vegetable brush than by scraping.
Clean painted woodwork with
strong solution of sal soda water, wip.
ing it quickly with a soft cloth.
Wash your windows with ammonia.
hot water, an6 sponge, and be sure
to dry them with old newspapers.
Don't use a galvanized-iron lemon
scueezer When brought in contact
with the lemon it forms a poisonous
salt.
