The laps have one of the greatest
patriotic armies in the world; the men
will fight without pay if necessary; all
they want is to whip Russia. The men

while the Russian soldier must have
several pounds of meat and other
things to go with it. On the one side
no great amount of camp equipage is
necessary, while on the other there
must, be ten pounds to man. The
Jap does not worry about clothes, and

Russia is badly Handicapped in this

Where is she to get her camp equipment,

much of China, for China wants to see
Japan win. She cannot import it by
sea, for the Japs wouldn't allow it.
She must get the millions of tons of
supplies from st. Petersburg, $500

Perhaps only a military man can
understand the Importance of that
statement. Six thousand miles by
rail, taking in the winter more than
three weeks, the stuff must be hauled.
and this over a single track road, where
50 miles an hour is express time, with
a meager outfit of rolling stock, and
for forty miles everything must be
transported on sledges over the lev

is how long will it take Russia to even

New York, Feb. 12.-L. o. Thayer, a
tactitian, tells the Brooklyn Eagle that
Japan will win. While Japan has not
been considered a ''f1rst-class" power
like England, France, Germany or
Russia, she has been hard at work on
a well. planned system of offense and
defense for the past eight years. For
two years, at least, she has been pre-
pairing for this very struggle. In that
she is better prepared for it than Rus

Japan has had the best Of tutors and

say, and before this confidence will

be dead. Her leaders are wise enough
to know that she has caught Russia
afoul and there will be no let up in a
vigorous campaign. =;
Russia's Handicap.
Japan knows that the boast that
Russia can pour 100000 troops into
Manchuria, with their supplies, is
pure bluff. She knows it would take
the complete machinery Of the Trans
SIBERIAN railway. four months to carry
100000, and that it will exhaust the
resources of the road to bring war
supplies for the men now in Manchu-
ria for two months of precious time.
She knows that the Russian fleet
mas a coal supply for only a few
weeks, and can get no more; she
knows that neither the Port Arthur
nor the VladiVostok squadron can get
out alive; she knows that she has pre-
pared to blow up a hundred bridges

In Some Places in Europe Use Of Il

In Some Places in Europe Use Of II

This Is the heading of Press Bulle
FIN No. 25S, just issued by the Ohio
experiment Station at Wooster. and
the author proceeds to say:
Lime is absolutely Indispensable n
plant growth, yet it is required in
comparatively small amounts. Oar
cereai crops, for instance, contain
about two pounds of phosphoric acid
and three pounds of potash for every
pound OF lime, while all soils except
the clear sands contain much more
lime than phosphoric acid and at least
as much lime as potash. The abund.
ance OF lime is shown in the fact that
water which has been for any length
OF time in contact with the soil is al
ways hard; but only one grain of lime
10 the gallon of water, a quantity thar
eouid not be detected under ordinary
conditions. would supply twice the
amount of lime needed by clover
crop. which is the only one OF our
ordinary farm crops that contains as
much lime as potash.
Lime. however, serves other pur.
poses than as simple plant food. One
OF the most important of these is the
correction of acidity in the soil. When
a soil becomes acid clover will not
thrive upon It. and when this conJi
ton occurs an application Of lime NAV
