WILL RETREAT
TO MUKDEN

Kuropatkin Believed to Have De
cided on Further Retirement.
Paris, Sept. 1.-The foreign Office
has no confirmation of the reports of
the Japanese occupation of Lao Yang,
but advices lead the officials to say it
is probable that General Kuropatkin
has decided to carry out his original
plan to retreat to Mukden.
This plan, it is added, was temper
arily abandoned, as Kuropatkin be-
lieved the defences at Lao Yang
would permit him to hold back the
Japanese.
This failing, it is stated the Russian
commander will attempt to revert to
his first plan, that of effecting con-
centration at Mukden.

When Ashes Are Put on Land.

When Ashes Are Put on Land.
The application of ashes to land
does not necessarily show what that
land needs. 1t has been a favorite
practice to apply ashes to land to de-
termine its supply Of potassium, and
to-day most of our people believe that
the chief fertilizing value of ashes Is
the potassium. The writer remembers
d bare hill top to which he applied
ashes during all Of one winter. The
next spring the growth was SO great
on that place that the hay could not
be cured on the ground where it was
grown; but part Of it had to be car
-ied to another spot to allow Of it's
being spread thin enough to permit OF
he suns getting into it. The natural
Inference was that the land had be-
come very deficient in potassium. But
Professor Hopkins of Illinois says
that the test is not a sure one in its
results. He mentioned parts of ILL.
nois where there is no deficiency Of
potassium. but where the soil is acid.
The application of ashes brought good
harvests and the farmers wrote him
that their land needed potassium. He
investigated and found that they were
mistaken. The lime in the ashes
had neutralized the acid and caused
the change in conditions that resulted
in an abundant yield of grain. Some
kinds Of ashes contain over so per
cent of lime, and this is the element
that does the work in many cases.
When land responds to the application
Of ashes it means that either the soil
contains too much acid, which the
lime in the ashes ne~utralizes. or that
it is deficient in potassium.

Cold Storage Plants.

There has been quite a Juror for
the building Of cold storage plants
during the last few years. Some
years g men made fortunes by
erecting cold storage plants and buy
ing quantities of butter and eggs.
which were carried from the low
priced period of the year to the high
priced period. This of course gave
large profits. AS was certain to be
the case, other men saw the ame
method Of getting rich and began to
build like plants. This was all right
for some years, while the number of
plants was small enough so that the
goods stored would not greatly af-
feet the market. But the building
continued, and nov the products
stored compete so strongly with each
other that the margin of difference of
prices at different times of year is
greatly reduced. Reports from New
Jersey tell of a new cold storage
plant at Jersey City, which was built
last year at a cost Of 5000, 900. The
establishment vas perfect in every
detail and the promoters expected
great things. But they were unable
to secure business and the enterprise
went into the hands of q receiver.
The plant was offered for sale at
auction, with the proviso that not less
than $4,000 would be taken. Not a
bid was received.

In Picking Apples.

One man suggests that a good way
to pick apples is to put a tick filed
with hay under a tree and drop the
apples into it from the limbs. He
asserts that this has been his practice
and that the fruit is not thereby In.
jured. This may be all right for
some kinds of fruit, but it would not
be for others. There are some Of u
varieties that injure so easily that
ey en- the pressure of the thumb and
finger must be looked out for. Be-
sides, in the letting fall of apples from
the top of the tree a great deal Of
skill is required not to hit the other
apples in the tick or the limbs of the
tree when the apples are being
dropped. The apple basket and the
apple bag will be found most advan.
tageous for most of the work Of fruit

\ PTRITANICAL POLICY.

1t is doubtful whether the puritani-
cal policy of closing theaters on sun
days now proposed by members of the
city council viii meet with general APP
proval. Many people who now spend
their Sunday evening quietly in wit
messing a harmless theatrical perform
ance would 90 to much worse resorts if
the theaIerS We're closed. AS long as
nearly everything else is wide open, 1t
would be unWse and unjust to pro-
hibit Sunday theaterS. Every city of
any size in the country has Sunday
theatrical performances, and even some
churches have similar entertainments.
II would be only sham reform for the
Walla Walla council to attempt to en-
force such a rule. But while the cOun-
Gil is about it ii should pass an ordi-
nance filming every person who does
not attend church on Sunday and pro-
hibiting any one to build a fire. drive
q horse, sing q song or eall on his best
girl on that day.
