fore seeding. After seeding use moth
ing but bone, muriate of potash and
nitrate of soda or their equivalent.
Thereafter fertilize every crop whether
first or second. The second crop should
be cut just before frost and the field
kept clean for winter. Fields well
cared for and kept clean will never
winter kill. Grass fields should never
be pastured. No part of the grass stand
can ever be recovered except by re-
seeding. Eternal vigilance is the price
we pay to get the best results in grass
culture. My first experimental crop on
sixteen acres was over sixty-four tons,
and for many years the same field in
two crops produced over 100 TONS The
outside cost of hay produced by this
method does rot exceed S5 per ton for
well dried hay in the barn. Intense
cultivation had done it. 1t will work
wonders.
This year less than eleven acres of
land formerly as poor, rocky and bad

The strength required OF an average

RUSSIAN SHIPS DAMAGED.

Mukden, Oct. 21.-Thc hostile
armies yesterday were concealed from
view Of each other by dense fog, in
which il was impossible } make out
objects at distance of 100 PAGES.
Under such conditions only unimpOr-
taut operations are possible, such as
surprises and ambushcs.
Che Foo, Oct. 21.-The most impOr-
tant recent events at Port Arthur in
clude the capture by the Japanese Of
further minor positions near Rihlmg
mountain and the severe damage of a
Japanese torpedo boat destroyer by
striking a floating mine.
According to Chinese advceS which
reached here Thursday and which are
confirmed by Japanese letters from
Port Dalny, the japanese made as
saults ON the remaining outer works
OF Rihlung mountain at dawn October
s and were repulSed. The following
day the Russians made an attack on
the Japanese trenches and they in
turn We're repulsed. The Japanese
Immediately followed with another as
sault, resulting in the capture of an
iron railroad bridge and the heights
south of the bridge, which is 500 yards
from the main fortress.
At 10 O'Clock in the morning of Oc-
tober II seven Russian torpedo boat
destrOyers emerged from the harbor
of Port Arthur and later they were
followed by two more destroyers.
This squadron proceeded to Shao-
pingtau and bOmbarded the Japanese
left flank. Four Japanese torpedo
boat destroyers hurried to the scene
and the Russians retired to the har-
bOr followed by the japanese. The
pursuit ceased upon entering the
mined area. One Japanese destroyer
while returning hit q mine and was
severely damaged.
Meanwhile the Japanese siege guns
continued to drop big shells in the
harbor, the Japanese claiming that
they damaged the Russian gunboat
Giliak, which is alleged to have been
hit three times. 1t IS also believed
that the funLel of another Russian
warship was pierced.

WARRIORS ARE RESTING.

ST. Petersburg, Oct 22.--The rival
armies of Russia and Japan entrench-
ed a short distance from each other
south Of the Shakhe river are forced
to continued inactivity until the fine
weather now prevailing dries the sod
den ground and the tired warriors are
sufficiently rested TO resume opera
tiOns.
A dispatch from Mukden reports
that the Russians yesterday confined
themselves to a bombardment OF
Shakhe Station and the adjoining vii
lage Of I.amatung, the Japanese feebly
responding.
Russian correspondents report that
some regiments of the Fifth Siberian
corps have been engaged i'll slight
sliirmishes on the advance line the
past few days. The fact that the First
and Fifth Siberian were the only corps
hitherto mmentioned in reports OF
the fighting on October 10 shows that
Gen. Kuropatlin has sent the reserves
to the trenches, giving other much.
tired corps a thorough rest. Mean
whilo the Cossacks are raiding the
Japanese lines.
Che Foo, Oct. 22.-News from Port
Arthur brought to Che Foo by junk
which left there October 10 says a
fierce bombardment which began Oc-
tober 1G was still progressing without
interruption. Many buildings had been
damaged and ships in the harbor had
also been hit by shells, but the extent
of the damages are not stated. The
Japanese have placed guns of a large
caliber on Iunjida mountain The
Russians continue making sorties sue
cessfully and intlicting heavy losses
on the besicgers. whose losses since
the commencement of the siege are
said to have been $4,000.

SUSPENSION OF POSSIBILITIES.

Toxic. Oct. 20.-The Japanese gov
crnmcnt has decided to draw the at
tention of the Russian government to
the unlawful action OF Russian troops
in using Chinese costumes. The no
tice viii be served through the Amer
lean state department, which will
transmit it through the American EN-
bassy at ST. Petersburg. A memoran-
dun issued by the foreign office says
that on October 4 a body Of infantry
belonging to a Russian regiment Of
sharpshooters, wearing Chinese cos
tunes, attacked the Japaneses forces
onn the Mukden road and that Rus
SLAMS similarly clad approached the
japanese lines and attempted sur
prises. Different reports received, it
is charged, indicate that the Russians
are purchasing enormous quantities of
Chinese costumes.
ST. Petersburg, Oct 20.-F0r the
moment heavy rains and impossible
roads have compelled a suspension OF
operations in Manchuria. There was
practically no fighting yesterday and
none whatever last night.
Yelled hints continue to arrive that
the Russians have recovered from the
blow inflicted last week by Field Mar
shal Oyama and that Gen. Kuropatkin
is preparing to renew the struggle as
soon as the roads become dry.
The enforced cessation Of Oper-
ations by the bad weather gives both
armies chance to breathe and pull
themselves together and would seem
to ensure as much benefit TO one side
as the other. When operations re
commence they will assume an entire
Iy new phase.
