Toxic. Dec. ga report from Ad.
miraI Togo received Tuesday is as
follows:
After personal observation outside
Port Arthur, I found that the Sevasto-
pol, which was attacked by our tor
pedo notillas, is now anchored In the
shadows about 400 yards from the
shore of Chengtao mountain. The
Russians are engaged in pumping. but
the Sevastopol is listing at least ten
degrees, and her bow slightly sunk.
There can be no hope Of restoring the
vessel to fighting trim. considering
the present condition Of Port Arthur.
and I Judge that she has been com
pletely disabled.
81 also observed that the enemy's
destroyer. which was torpedoed by US

COLLEGES ARE GETTING THERE.

The great success which the agri-
cultural colleges have had at the In
ternational live stock shows has done
much to give to cattle breeders and
feeders increased respect for the men
who teach in such institutions. The
demonstration Of the fact that the
men who teach can also do has been
very effective This year the Short
horn, the Angus and the Grade cham
pionships, as well as the grand and re-
serve championships went to agricul-
tural colleges.
The Animal Husbandry department
of the Iowa Agricultural college won
forty-nine prizes, including two grand
championships, of the aggregate
amount Of $1,000 at the International
live stock Show The college tai s
special pride in the fact thar p :
tlcally every animal in its exhibit s
bred on the college farm. The expert
ment station OF Minnesota took cash
prizes amounting to $1,215, and one
championship.

ISLAND AN EAGLE PRESERVE.
Birds Regularly Bred and Trapped for
Chinese Emperor.


Of the southwestern coast Of Ko-
rea there rises an immense isolated
rock of black basalt, which forms an
island-lllle peninsula. During the
days of Chinese supremacy over 10.
rea this mass of mountain projecting
into the sea was kept as an eagle pre-
serve. The young eagles were Melted
each year and sent TO the emperor of
China at Pekin, though whether they
were trained to catch wolves or an
telopes or merely kept as pets is not
certain, The Tartars regularly use
eagles for the former purpose, but
these birds we're probably Korean sea-
eagles and rather less suited for the
chase than the golden eagle. With
the exception of Stellar's sea-eagle,
which prey upon young seals, the 10
rean sea-eagles are the largest OF any
species found in temperate countries,
though probably the great forest ca
gle Of the Philippines is larger. Their
plumage is very dark, becomes almost
black with age and the beak is very
pale buff, approaching white.

coming from Big Lost river about
the analysis of the test crops

HOW TO HIVE BEES.

The handling Of bees is an art,
though il requires but little skill in
the operation. an amateur in the
apiary asks us how the hiving of
bees should be done, what kind of a
box. and how to proceed to remove
them to their new home?" On this sub
ject we quote Mr.. Sutcliffe
We prepare first our empty hives by
putting strip Of comb foundation n
inches wide on each frame. press it
tight on the frame. then take a small
brush ard dip it in hot wax, stroke it
along the top OF the foundation. This
will make it fast when the wax is
cold, Next we need cloth--oilcloth
is best. 1t so as to cover the top.
of S. Now we say the swarm
is -,lr, We must watch it and
see ere it will settle. Watch the
outer edges Of the swarm. When it is
settled, take the hive we have pre-
pared, set it down near the cluster so
that the bees, when you shake them,
will fall in front Of the hive. Take a
dipper and dip a few of the bees and
put them in front of the entrance.
Dip another, and when the queen is in
you may dip more Watch for the
queen if you see her go in the hive,
you may take larger tin for dipping
Dip them all Off, II the queen is in
the hive the bees will all go in. If
there are a few on the hive, brush
them off and get them in as soon as
possible. Take the hive to the old
stand, and the hive the swarm came
from can be taken to new, shady
place.

closing them out at figures quite be-
