Apparatus for Milking Cows.

In a newly invented German ap-
paratus for milking cows by electricity,
rubber hoods are attached to the udder
Of the cow. These hoods are connect
ed with vessel for receiving the milk
by means Of rubber tube, from
which the air is exhausted by means
of the electrical device. 1t is claimed
that the suction, thus secured, resem-
bles very closely the sucking of calf,
and that for this reason the cow lets
down her milk more freely than when
MIXED by hand. It is also claimed that
absolute cleanliness of the milk may
be secured.-Consular Report.

JAPS NOT IN A HURRY
They Are Advancing Slowly on
Mukden and Nothing Thrill
ing Is Taking Place.
FOUR ARMIES UNDER OYAMA
Fighting Is Several Days Off Yet, Ac.
cOrding to the st. Petersburg
View-HOt Times Prob.
ably Ahead.

st. Petersburg, Sept %, 3:20 a. m.
The Japanese advance towards Muk-
den continues slowly, according to in
formation received by the authorities
here. Both official reports and press
dispatches place Marquis Oyama's adj
vance guard thirty miles south of Muk-
den, while stories printed in the for
eign press that great battle at Muk-
den has already begun are disproyed
by the actual development at the scene
of operations. 1t is thought serious
struggle for the possession of Muk-
den is still some days distant. The
Japanese probably will have to reckon
first with a stubborn defense of the
Fushun mines, where the next impor-
tant fight is expected to take place.
Speculation on Oyama's Plans.
Judging by present developments
Marquis Oyama is giving up the idea
Of cutting General Kuropatkin's COM
municatiOn to the -northward, and con-
tenting himself with advancing upon
the Russian front and flank in such
fashion as to force the evacuation of
the town and compel the Russians to
retreat farther north. The whole plan
of the Japanese advance shows a con-
siderable difference from the opera
lions at Liaoyang. At the same time it
is possible the japanese are again max
ing undisclosed movements, as they
have successfully done in the past.
4aff Four Armies Of Japs.
According to the best information
Oyama has three armies concentrated
south and southeast of Mukden,
fourth corps consisting Of two d.
visions, composed Of men drafted from
the armies Of Generals Kuroki, Nodzu
and Oku, being detached to Dziant.
chan and thence sending out flanking
columns northward and northeastward
with the object Of protecting Oyama s.
right, and at the same time driving In
the Russian outposts. An enveloping
movement on such large scale as
General Kuroki essayed at Liaoyang is
not expected.
- .-4nA,4. - 80. ..4 ~
Kuropatkin Is Two Corps Stronger. : \
Evidently the Japanese realize that
their, strength is inadequate to justify
another attempt to surround General
Kuropatkin, who: now is. stronger by
two army corps than he was at Lao
yang. The report has gained some cred
ence here that it's the intention of the
japanese to winter at Mukden if they
can take the town. and then. hold on
until an accumulation of Russian
forces on their front compels them to
retire to the LiaOtung peninsula and
Korea, the retreat in this direction
drawing ! General Kuropatkin after
them. 1t.
