The Little War in Tibet.
tRutland News. !

Were it not that the car is occupied
with Japan, the little war which the Eng
fish government in India is waging
against Tibet might embroil Russia and
Great Britain in a ttantic conflict. Should
the struggle in the far east terminate
sooner than is expected, the Tibetan affair
might still lead to the long threatened
war between the two great rivals for
supremacy in Asatic affairs. Russia has
for many years exercised a predominant
influence in the court of the grand lama
AS soon, however, as war was declared be-
tween that power and Japan, a British
expedition started for Lhassa with the in
tention, il is declared, of establishing
friendly relations with the government of
Tibet
The grand lama, doubtless acting under
Russian influence, is opposing the ex-
petition with all the forces in his COM
mand. As a result of this unexpected re-
sistance the British government has an
nounced that a state of war exists This
means that a British army will take adj
vantage Of Russia's oriental ENHANCEMENT
to enter the sacred capitol of the hermit
nation. British control of Tibet means
a doorway for British influence in China
ana a corresponding loss to Russian pres
tlge in Chinese affairs. The outcome of
the present movement will be watched
with interest by every one who in CONVEX

which is being played in the far east.

Thinning Peaches Paws,

Not every grower appreciates the
Importance of thinning peaches, but
there can be no question of the neces-
Sity of the practice, If best results are
TO be secured. The Michigan Expert
ment Station reports the following
concerning this matter:
1903. TO last over Il period of three
years. OF one lot. one tree was thin
ned to s inches; one was thinnod to 4
or ) inches. and one tree was left un-
thinned OF the other varieties. one
tree was thinned TO S inches and one
tree left unthinned. 1t was noted at
the end of the first seasons test that
all trees severely thinned were much
thrftier, and their foliage much
healthier, and did not fall from the
trees as early in the season as on I'M
thinned trees; that peaches from the
thinued trees sold for nearly double
as much as those from unthinned
trees. The varieties chosen for the test
happened to ripPn at Il time when
there was good demand, otherwise
reaches from unthinned trees would
have been unstable. From a com
mercial standpoint the benefit from
heavy thinning was very apparent"

The Cost of Milking Pork.

The sole purpose of finishing a
bunch of pigs at an early age is to
make them more profitable by saving
feed. 1t takes a certain amount mere
~ TO keep them, and the shorter the
time they are kept the less this will
cost. SO far it is Il simple problem,
but there are other factors which en-
ter in. The pushing process may be
the most costly in the end because
it requires the feeding of large
quantity of high-priced grain or mill
stuf1s, whereas 10y utilizing the pas
lures and the woods they may make
a cheaper growth and ultimately go to
market at less cost. 1t may be said
that the pasture has value in proper
ton to the grain. Sometimes it has
and sometimes it has nOt-al de-
ponds on what something else could
get out of it in the way of gain and
consequent cash. The point is that
early maturity in the sense OF mark ct
ing hogs at an early age is the best
thing only when IT is the cheapest. A
man can afford to wait couple of
months TO put his pigs on the market
if by utilizing pastures or forage and
saving high-priced grain he can do 1t
cheaper. The cost Of marketing
pound of pork and not the time it
takes to do it is the vital problem.

The value of the hog pasture viii
depend on the kind of feed ii contains
and the proportion that such feed oc-
cupieS 10 the whole. Many of our hog
pastures contain only wild grasses of
which the feeder does not know the
constituents. In most cases he does
not even know the names of the wild
grasses on which the swine are feed
ing Such pasture is, AT best, but
a poor substitute for field Of red
clover. or Il field of rape, soy beans
or COW peas, of which the owner
knows the composition. In any case,
too much must not be laid upon the
pasture. The swine must have sup
Elementary grain ration unless they
are following cattle that are being
fed large amount of corn. The pas
ture and the grain rations should be
in such balance and In such abund-
ance that the pigs can reach the
weight of 200 pounds in six months.
This is for pigs that are being pre-
pared for the pork barrel. With the
breeding stock il is different. and the
pasture, if good one, with nutritious
clover or alfalfa. may be made to do
most of the work in the summer.

1t is generally conceded that more
corn can be grown on an acre in
drills than in hills, but in weedy land
the great trouble is to keep drilled
corn clean and free from weeds. The
great mistake in cultivating drilled
corn usually is made at the first
working. when shovels of medium size
are used and small burrows left close
TO the rows We find it no harder to
keep drilled corn free from weeds
than it is TO keep hill corn clean, by
using the smoothing harrow across
the rows Just as soon as the corn is up.
In four or five days a second harrow
ing may be given and then the cult
vators be set TO work.
Avoid leaving any furrow close to
throw a ridge of earth up to the
plants. Keep the land just as level
as possible the first two or three
workings and then as the plants be
gin to shade the ground they will do
much to smother out weeds. The later
cultivation of any corn is best given
by n one-horse five shovel cultivator
instead of the two-horse riding imple-
ment. as with the former one can go
very shallow and keep at any desired
distance from the growing corn. We
believe there are too many high-priced
riding cultivators and not enough
small one-h horse implements used The
latter, diligently used, insure clean
crops.

Coop for Growing Chicks,

Where chicks are raised In consider

If one has but few coops a Slid

front; If many coops are made the
opening may be closed by a sliding
door made of thin material. During
the summer, if this solid wood door
was used it would be advisable to
make the ventilation opening larger
and cover it with some coarse mesh

Loss from Bitter Rot,

The losses from bitter rot of apples
are seldom appreciated. but the men
that have investigated them declare
them to be simply enormous for the
entire country. Professor Blair of the
University of Illinois, said last fall
that the losses from bitter rot in four
counties of Illinois had tOtaled for the
past season $l,5O0,OOO, This was in
the four counties of Marion. Clay,
Richard and Wayne. Bitter rot is n
fungous disease and can be controlled
to some extent by spraying. 1t is time
that apple growers awoke fully 10 the
enormous tax they are every year pay
ing 10 the fungous diseases that raw
age orchards. Could farmers elmi-
nate even this one scourge OF bitter
rot we would add millions of dollars
to the value Of the apple crop.
