What Porte Expects of Russia.

Constantinople, Aug. 12.-The porte
has definitely accepted the assurances
of Russia as to the character of the VOL
unteer fleet vessels seeking to traverse
the Dardanelles. In a note to the Rus
sian embassy agreeing to the exit of
the steamers the porte emphasizes the
fact that its understanding of the Rus
sian statement is: Vessels of the vol
unteer feet shall not carry arms or mu-
nitions of war; they shall fly the COM
mercial flag throughout the voyage,
and shall traverse the straits separate
ly at stated intervals.

Automatic Fountain.
An Ohio man gives this description
OF his poultry fountain: Every poul-
tryman knows how difficult it Is to
keep good clean water for a large
flock Of hens shut up in a house or
yard. If furnished in an open vessel
it is soon lowered out of reach or filed
with dirt and litter by their scratching.
Various small fountains are on the
market which do for little chicks, but
large fowls shut in warm house
drink great deal and require lots of
time and attention. The accompanying
cut shows an automatic fountain which
I devised for use in my poultry house.
1t Is made of a 1O-gallon keg. A pint
tin cup is connected by a small tube
to the lower end, from which the
chickens drink. To fill the keg the
tube is corked, then the cork is taken

Poultry PickinEs.

The time of hatch. more than the
breed regulates laying.
In-breeding should not be tolerated
for more than two years.
The best stock Is the cheapest,
therefore, never sell the best and never
buy anything but the best.
Fowls in confinement need a variety
of food, and one of the most import
ant of them is green food of some
kind.
In no case can we make good, ma
ture fowls of poorly-fed and badly
managed chickens. 1t is economy first
and last to feed we'll.
Put a good foc- of hens in, the plum
orchard and the trees will be less SUBJ
ject to curculio and will produce good
crops Of fruit.
So far as can be done, green food
should form a part Of the daily ra-
tions through the. year, as it seems
necessary to insure health, productive
ness and fertility.
The poultry business is one of many
details, and they need close following.
Unless a person is willing to give at
tention to little things, and not only to
them once, but many times, as occa-
sion may require, it is not advisable to
20 into the business very extensively.

Age of Eggs.
prOVenent.

An Eastern paper recently published
a lengthy article on how to tell the
age Of eggs. While the article is very
interesting and the information it con-
tains is no doubt accurate and relia-
BILE, we are of the opinion that to the
farmer that makes the most money
The only good egg is the fresh one,
and the way to make the most money
out of the sale Of eggs is to get them
into the hands of the consumer as
soon as it can be done after they are
laid. Guaranteed strictly fresh eggs
always find ready sale, and generally
at q premium this time Of year.-Ex-

of LidO Yang.

OF Lido yang.
St. Petersburg, Aug. 12.-Again the
chance of a decisive battle between
General Kuropatkin and the command
er of the Japanese army seems to be
disappearing. According to a state
ment issued by the general staff to-
night, rains are again falling over a
wide area of Manchuria with the pros
pect of impeding operations, but even
more important is the information
reaching the Associated Press tonight
from an exceptional source that the
Japanese have once more delayed too
long. General Kuropatkin has now
withdrawn the bulk of his army safely
north of Lao Yang.
According to this information, the
Japanese have about 100000 men in
the armies operating against Kuropat-
kin, rendering it too hazardous for him
to risk general engagement. The gen.
eral staff has no information bearing on
the reported presence of large force of
japanese at Paithuhi, place that cam
not be located on available maps. The
report agrees, however, with the gen.
eral tenor of the information received
by the Associated Press and here given,
that General Kuropatkin is already re-
treating north of Lao Yang.
The advantages of the new Japanese
base at Niu Chwang in greatly simpli-
flying the problem of provisioning their
army is fully realized. The rumor
that they are moving up towards Sim.
intin, short distance west of Mukden,
from Niu Cwang is generally believed.
The appearance of the Japanese on
the other side of Mukden would almost
pocket General Kuropatkin and he re-
solved to accept battle with his whole
army at Lao Yang.

London, Aug. 13.-James Bryce,
member of the house of commons,
has received telegram stating that
the Kurds are invading the province of
Bayazid, and massacre of the Armeni-
ans is feared. Five hundred Armeni-
ans fed to the Russian frontier and
were pursued by Turkish soldiers and

the assistance of the Armenians, and
heavy fighting ensued, many on both
sides being killed. Cossacks also fired

Care of the Horse.

During the busy months of the year,
farmers are anxious to get all the
work possible out of their horses,
which Is proper enough. Food alone
will not do the trick. A horse may be
fed the best of rations, but he needs
care in addition, SO try these things
which may seem simple, but which
will do a great deal toward making
the horse contented and more valuable
to you. Keep his coat clean, not only
by brushing and the use Of the comb,
but use water on him freely, especial
ly during the warm period.
When his work for the day is done
take sponge and wash each part Of
his coat where the harness touched.
If his muscles are sore, take equal
parts of iodine and sweet oil, mix them
and rub the mixture well into the
joints and tendons. Wash out his
mouth occasionally and take care of
his feet. Above all, in warm weather,
see that his stable is we'll ventilated
and that screens are placed so that
vermin are kept from annoying him.
In watering the horse, let him have it
before eating, and also small supply
between meals, even If he is warm. It
will not hurt him unless you give him
too much.

tlon that there is an arc OF 80 degrees

from which a lroj"c .ile might pene-
trate is a misleading. il not sensa-

ditions. Thirty degrees of a circle TWO
feet i'll diameter would not represent ii
very extensive target, although the
mere term 80 DEGREES" might
sound startling to one unaccus-
toned to considering such problems
Naval constructors know that every
battlcship is the result Of a
series of compromises between
speed. armor, armament, etc. The
omission of the superstructure on the
Ohio saved considerable weight, which
saving was utilized to insure more
speed, and the vulnerable point result
ing therefrom is 50 small as to render
its penetration Il remote possibility.
1t is freely admitted by the most ex-
pert naval constructors that constant
progress in the designing of all naval
vessels is being made. The acme of
