Destroying Hardhack.

Not long ago I had occasion to
cross the adjoining pastures of two
large dairy farms with natural condi-
tons about alike says E. r. Towle in
the Massachusetts Ploughman On
one there was a large amount Of hard
hack, while on the other there was
only an occasionally small shrub to be
seen.
On the first there had been no at
tempt made to check Or destroy the
growth, but found on inquiry that on
the other thorough work had been
made in pulling up the bushes in the
fall few years since. 1t must have
been pretty thorough, too, and effec-
tual to hardly leave trace behind.
Perhaps the fall pulling was what did
the business. similar to that Of cut
ting. 1t is well worth trying anyway.

Keep the Tools in Order.

What a mistake it is for farmers to
neglect TO keep their tools il order.
On some farms will be seen plows,
harrows. cultivators. horse rake and
mower. scattered about the farm and
BARNARD, the paint is off and rust cov-
ers the metal parts, bolts are loose and
some parts are broken. Can satisfac-
tory work be performed with such i'm
plements, think you? To keep tools
in this way is very expensive and no
farmer can afford to do So 1t is very
annoying to good plowman to have
anything about the pillow loose; he
wants to feel the firmness of the plow
in his hands.
Even the hand hoe needs attention;
a file should be used to keep it sharp,
and when put away for the day all
dirt should be cleaned from it and a
little oil rubbed over it that no rust
may gather on it. Such a hoe does
much better work when next taken out
than II left wet and dirty Why not
give a little attention to this matter
and keep the tools in condition to do
their best? 1t is somewhat astonish-
ing to see SO many farmers neglect
this important factor in making the
farm pay. Tools out of order make
hard work for operator and for team,
and besides the job is not nearly, a.
well done.

Rice a Health Food.

Considerable attention has been di-
rected toward rice as a health food
since the fighting qualities of the Jap
anese are being SO widely discussed.
1t has always been commonly believed
that rice lacks the ingredients that
help make muscle for the human body.
However, the most important article
Of diet Of the Japanese is rice, and
we have recently II not before had
occasion to particularly note the
physical strength of these small peo-
pie Of Japan. The Philadelphia Veg
eterian society has lately been pay
ing special attention to this subject,
and has made Investigations through
Prof. S. Knapp, who has a simple ex-
PLANTATION Of this supposed inconsis-
tency. Rice, as it is eaten in Am
erica, is not a muscle-making food
simply because in American mills the
outer husk and bran Of the rice kernel
are removed by polishing. and thus
is removed that part OF the rice which
contains the protein, and which is
the most nutritious part of the rice.
In Japan the outside coating of the
rice kernel is retained. and hence
great strength OF muscle is developed
in the Japanese.-American Cultiva-

ern advance has been beaten back and
his army is in retreat. He is, how
ever, fighting doggedly so as to spare
the Russian army from utter rout.
Field Marshal Oyama's triumphant
troops have driven the Russians north
to line along the Shakhe river. They
are vigorously pressing the pursuit
and probably will infict severe DAM
age on Kuropatkin s forces.
AS result of the bloody battle Of

lost.
Field Marshal Oyama estimates thu
Russian losses at over 10000.
The fighting continued all along the
entire line Saturday and the end is
not near.
It seems to be impossible for the
Russians to rally and they probably
will be pressed back across the Hun
river.
Heavy fighting continued Sunday.
The reports from the field indicated
that all three japanese armies made
distinct gains. Gen. Oku captured
ten guns, making mis- record for the
battle thirty-fve. The fighting in the
vicinity of Bensihu continues. The
report does not mention the situation
