HE MUST FIGHT.
General Kuropatkin Will Have

fore Reaching Harbin.
6,nnvricht. 1nn4.l

LONDON, May 18.-It is not
believed that General kuropatslil
will be able to retreat to Harbln,
as St. Petersburg says it is his in-i
tention, unless he is able to fight
his way through a strong Japanese
force and with another army
stronger than his own on his rear
and flanks. f'
The latest advices leave little!
doubt that a japanese army or
not less than twenty-five thou-s
sand men is now between him and
Harbn, Whether this force came
over from the East, from the Kos,
rean coast,or is the column report,
cd detached by Kuroki after the
crossing Of the Yalu and sentl
north by tflc 1Nwan Tien road, is
not known, but that it is to theI
northeast Of the Russian position,i
seems established practically be-li
vond doubt. 4
This report practically cstab-i.
fishes the truth OF another report
that the main body Of the Rus
sian army, with supplies and mus
nitions, is in retreat, leaving n
strong screening force to check
the Japanese first at Hal Cheng,
and then ait Lao Yang and give
kuropatkin chance to withdraw
from dangerous position.
The japanese apparently have
not taken possession OF New
Chwang though they will prob
ably do so within a few days,
making it their advanced base.
From here. they will have the ad-
vantage OF both water transpor-
tation on the Lao River, which IS
navieablc far above Mukdcn and
transportation on the railway
when the Manchurian line is IN
their hands and has been repaired.
The Japanese are pushing their
plans for the land attack on Port
Arthur, according to advices re-
ceived from Che Foo and have
taken possession of the hills at
Kin Chow and now command all
the roads leading to Port Arthur,
but are by no means sanguinc as
to their ultimate success.
There is some talk in diPlo-
matte circles of a possibility OF
peace, but it is not yet taken Sc

Russia is coming to recognize II
that she is beaten and soon will

Heavy Drafters
For the Farm

The draft horse is to the farmer the
most important of all classes of horses.
Time was when the draft horse was
not much more. valuable than some of
the lighter weights, but today horses
weighing from 1880 to 1000 pounds
are in good demand at paying prices,
bringing enough more on the market to
warrant keeping them in preference to
lighter weights, writes John Buckler of
the Iowa experiment station in Breed
er's Gazette. The drafter is the most
profitable horse hat can be raised and
worked on the farm, being better able
to do the work than a lighter one, and
for this reason it is not necessary to
keep SO many to do the farm work.
Being fewer in number, they will re-
Quire less feed and less harness, all of
which means less expense.
Brood mares well bred and of good
weight can be used to good advantage

When Animals Go Rad.

An animal trainer says that mo man
living knows all about animals or
more than a very little about them.
Some who are dead thought they
knew. That is the reason they are
dead. Only those who realize their
ignorance and supplement it with I'M
firing watchfulness last long at this
queer business that I'm in.
Sooner or later most animals of the
cat kind become utterly intractable
and remain so. Going bad is the
professional term for this. Rarely do
they return to their old amenable
ways. Henceforth they are Of no use
as performers and are relegated to the
exhibition cages, for any man entering
the cage Of q lion or tiger that has
gone bad is instantly attacked. This
Is one of the terrors of the trade.
Symptoms of the change of heart are
apparent enough sometimes, particu-
larly in animals which are growing old.
Occasionally, however, some young
beast, formerly as obedient as you
could wish, will urn murderous with
out cause or warning. If her trainer
gets out alive he is lucky. II he ever
enters her cage again he's a fool

TYPICAL BELGlA DRAFT MAKE.
by breeding them to the best draft stall
lions Inc raising colts, and they can
do a good years work on the farm as
we'll. They are just as good as mares
that are kept a year for the sole pur-
pose of raising colts. The colts can
be used from the time they are two
years old, doing light work until three,
and can easily pay for their keep from
that time on until five years of age,
when they are ready for market and
when they should be in the best posi-
BILE condition to bring the highest price.
The Even Gated Team.
With farmers time is money. The
successful farmer is the one who man
ages his work so as to be able to do it
in the best way possible in the short
est length of time. To do so he need
not be a mar Of extraordinary genius,
but he must be a man of common
sense and use the gifts with which
God has already endowed him He
must love his horses. He must work
with them himself in order to under
stand them. He must understand how
to mate them, by no means putting a
slow, awkward gated horse alongside
a spirited, true gated one. By all
means let him sell one or the other
and obtain a mated gated team. He
should use the latest improved ma
chinery, for by doing so he can save
time, money and horsefiesh.
