ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. %. A
Mukden dispatch says that fighting has
begun again southeast of Mukden.
c The Japanese advanced to the village
of Jerdagan, which they are reported
to have captured after a fight lasting
all night.
There was an artillery fight on the
night of Oct. 26 on the north shore of
the Shakhe river directly south of
Mukden. The cannonading, which was
heavy, is being continued. The Rus
slams are attacking. If unsuccessful,
they will fight right up to the walls Of
Mukden.
Two imperial rescripts are published
in the st. Petersburg Official Messen-
ger, the first of which is covered by
Viceroy Alexeieff's order of the day,
announcing the appointment of Gen
eral KurOpatkin to the chief command
of the Russian forces in the east.
The second is addressed by the czar
to General Kuropatkin as commander
in chief of all the military and naval
forces at the scene of war. 1t con-
cludes with these words: "Your mill
tary experience, strengthened by your
action in Manchuria. makes me feel
confident that you will break the OBJ
stinacy of the enemy's forces at the
head of your glorious army and will
thereby assure to Russia peace in the
far east"
A Mukden dispatch says there was a
reconnaissance in force during the
night by the Russian western flank,
and desultory fire continued until 2
o'clock a. m. The japanese We're dis
covered TO be hurrledly fortifying along

course, preclude the possibility of an

develop for some days, but judging by
the hurried manner in which the Chi
nese are settling their money affairs in
Mukden they are OF o different opinion.

The whole State is interested in the
reelection of DIR. Henry to the assem-
bly,. He has promised to again lead
the fight against the anti-toxin trust
and il would.be we'll if every voter
could ask his candidate before voting
for him how he stands IN the ques-
ton. Here is what the Newark E ven
ing News said last night:
"Assem5lyman Henry, of Middle
sex, has promised, if reelected, to
again introduce in the legislature his
free anti-toxin bill. This is the first
direct strike at n trust that has been
made by any candidate during the

The situation in the State, as these

Sta6a, could only take advantage of this
condition, If they only had the '%'facili-
ties, y as Senator Smith put it, and used
them with the proper vigor, something
very gratifying to Mr.. Parker would
happen on election day.

Democratic circles throughout the State,

During the hustle and hustle OF a
presidential campaign in which all
the big party workers are strivi ng to
slect q president and a governor, the
candidates for the minor offices are
often forgotten by the rank and file of
the people. This is not SO of the gan
didates themselves, however. Al

county candidates is comparatively
easy for, unless their record is too
bad, they usually swing with the head

are reached that things are different.
Here everybody knows everybody.
There are no vital points at stake,
provided both parties put up capable
men, and the fight becomes more OF

candidates for aldermen, school com
missioners, Justices of the peace and
the like, are quietly working under
the surface. The small noise they
make In their is completely
swallowed up in the great tumult of
the big fellows, but they are working
just the same. One of the most in
teresting contests of this nature is in
the third ward where r. A. Peltier,
the republican candidate for constable,
is opposed by James Moran, the DEM
ocratic candidate. Mr.. Peltier has the
advantage In @eing in the business

WATER CONTENT OF BUTTER
How Ii May He Decreased or Added

In answer TO query as to the regula
ton Of the water content OF butter, f..
III. Harrington of the Wisconsin Dairy
school says In Hoard's Dairyman:
There is no practical method for de
termining the per cent of water in but
ter at creameries at the present time.
Several suggestions have been made in
this direction. and ii is to pc hoped
that before long we may have a cream
cry method to determine the water and
fat in butter that will be as useful and
accurate as the BabcOck test, which de-
termines the fat in milk.
The moun of water in butter may
be influenced by the buttermaker to a
certain extent. The so called dcy but
ter containing a minimum amount of
water is made by churning TIE c-eam
at a very low temperature, SO that the
butter comes in fine hard g~ranules,
which are allowed TO drain IN tie
churn until they are tolorlbig g.. This
butter is then washed with cold wash
watcr. salt added ana the butter given
a maximum amount of WORKING.
To increase water content Of butter.
the cream should be clurael So tlit
the temperature OF the art.cauuilk is
somewhere between - and 90 and
the butter rather soft when II comes.
This is tren washed with water Of a
temperature between - and Go, and
after washed the granular butter is not
allowed to drain for a very LONG time.
After sailing this damp butterit Should
be given a minimum amount OF work
ing ana The water content ot the Gnisn-
ed product win probably be al least 10
per cent.
The buttermaker must learn from his
own practice and the appearance us

AS far as known, the roots Of grasses,
grains and annual field crops do not
tbstruct underdrain. but this Is not the
case with some trees. Among them
are the willows, water elm. tamarack
and sometimes the SORT maple, which
in a short time will fill the drain with
a mass Of roo hairs. even when they
are growing fifty feet distant from
the line of the drain. Some field drains
under ordinary conditions contain no
water during a considerable portion Of
the growing season. Those drains
which are fed by springs or have a
continual flow through them are more
subject to obstruction from the roots
Of trees than drains which are dry for
q part OF the year.
Where there ia reason to suspect that
there will be dificulty with tree roots
the joints Of the tiles near the trees
should be securely cemented. II Is safe

growing within hfty feet OF any tile

There are a few fundamental facts
to be remembered in order to avoid
losses by reason of the presence of hog
cholera or swine plague in the herd
The first is that these are specific germ
diseases. disseminated by bacteria. and
the contagion cannot be spread from
one animal to another DR. from one herd
to another except by these minute or
ganisms. They may be carried in a
multitude of ~ways-by the hogs them
selves, on the clothing of persons, on
vehicles. in feed, by dogs. birds and
other animals OF by streams. The
breeding or feed of a hog cannot cause
either disease. although bad methods
may so weaken the constitution and
vitality that the animal becomes more
susceptible than would otherwise be
the case. Second. diseases caused by
bacteria may be prevented in large
part by thorough disinfection Third,
bacteria are generally preserved In
filth. and therefore scrupulous cleanli-
ness will go far toward preventing out
breaks Of disease In herds Of hogs.
