which runs diagona1ly across its north

The high bluffs on each side Of the

The main fort on Golden hill is 40 feet

trance from Pinnacle rock Oh the west
to the opposite shore is barely $50
yards, while the three fathom channel
at its narrowest is not more than 800
feet wide. Within the heads it widens
out somewhat. and between the end Of
the Tigers Tail" and the entrance tc
the basin there is width Of 43O yards.
Even this makes it difficult task for
any vessel over 300 feet in length to en-
ter or leave either the harbor or basin.
This was shown just before the out
break of the war, when the Russian
fleet was modified and taken from the
inner harbor into the roads. The opera
ton took the greater part of three days.
The basin or east port was excavated
primarily by the Chinese. as was also
the dry dock cut in its northern side. 1t
has an average depth Of twentyone
feet and can accommodate nearly a doz-
en- large vessels. The western end is
devoted exclusively to torpedo craft,
though dock for these small boats is
being built on the eastern side.
The dry dock, repaired and enlarged
by the Russians, is 452 feet over all,
80 feet over blocks, 80 feet wide at
the entrance and has depth on the sill
at high water in ordinary springtides
Of 80 feet On the Tigers Tall are
placed seven Canet 5.5-inch quick firers
in an open battery at an elevation of
not more than ten feet above the Wa
ter level.
Ships moored in the inner harbor can
lie in perfect safety, and it is doubt
full if the dock yard could be damaged
by high angle fire. The works and ar
senal lie so closely under the Kwang-
chin Hill that any proiectiles so di-
rected would probably range far into
| the town at the back.

In the general exhibit OF the Nebraska

of oats to which was attached the name

Nebraska it had yielded ten bushels per
acre more than any other variety. A
letter to Director E. A. Burnett brought
forth the following statement concern

wool price for dirt, but because 1t in
creases the labor and expense of pre-
pairing the wool for manufacture, and
also Injuries the 11ber itself to greater
or less extent. Some kinds, rs the chan

Where any hand picking ds. necessary to
remove the adhering foreign matter, as
is sometimes the case, the wool in its
raw state must necessarily sell very
low. A little care in such matters may
mean a better opinion of the wool buy
er on the part of the grower and of the
grower on the part of the buyer, and
several dollars more in the pocket of
the grower when they get through with
their transaction. The accompanying
illustration represents an end view of
a very good and inexpensive form Of
rack for feeding the roughness. II de-
sired 4 bottom may be put in SO as to
feed the grain in these racks also, but
- L rule, we prefer the plan OF feeding
the grain in troughs made separate
from, and Independent Of the rack for
the roughness.> The rack is made shout
three feet in height, two feet and six
inches wide and any length desired.
The uprights are made from two by
eight lumber. One slant cut making the
sloping edge for two pieces, there is no
waste in the cutting. The bottom of
the rack is composed of twelve-inch
or two six-inch boards nailed on the out
side of these uprights. as indicated in the
cut. The upper part for receiving the
hay is made BY mailing boards on the
sloping edge Of the uprights. These
boards should be either shiplap or have
their edges beveled and fit together so
as to prevent any dirt rafting through
on top of the heads and necks of the
sheep as they eat. If it is desired to put
a bottom in the rack for the feeding of
grain probably the best plan is to make
each side of this bottom into movable
trough that can be turned over to dump
out the dirt and litter, as it is not con-
venient to clean troughs so situated in
any other manner. In making bottom
of this kind, the stationary portion in
the center, should be placed above the
troughs, SO that any refuse will pass
into the latter, where it may be dumped
out. The troughs may be hung at the
ends by means Of bolt passed through
the end piece and the upright of the
rack, and be held in place while in use
by means of hooks or by pins placed to
one side Of the bolts.-Prairie Farmer.

LIVE STOCK FARMING.
Men who stuck to Feeding and D1e
Not Sell Their Corn Made the
Most Money.

|, Regarding the value OF live stock
farming, as compared with the'growing
and selling Of grain, Prof L. H. Pammel.
of the Iowa agricultural college, says:
1T has been demonstrated both by
experience and practice that the farmer
who sells beef, pork and mutton that
he has produced from the corn and grass
raised and fed on the farm makes more
money per acre of his land and per dol
lar Of his capital than the one who grows
only wheat or corn or cotton and sells
1t.
1T is not necessary to entirely dis
continue raising theaa crops, but II We
are to produce surplus to be sold in
foreign markets it is best to export that
surplus in the most condensed and mar
ketable form, as meat and animal prod
ucts, rather than in the original crude
and bulky state.
In the long run the farmer will make
the most money who devotes his fields
to the growing of forage crops to feed
stock, making use of all the raw prod
ucts at home, thereby saving not only
much Of the cost of transportation, but
maintaining the fertility Of the SOIL
BY doing so, corn belt farmers will
maintain their prominence in agricul-
tural lines.
"Experience Of the past few months
has shown that the men who stuck to
feeding and were not tempted by high
prices to sell their corn have made the
most money. Anything that will en-
nance the productive capacity of our
soils for the production of forage con6i-
tons will help the farmer"

Two Elements IN SQcceoos
The two most important elements in
poultry success are wholesome food and
cleanliness. All such unwholesome food
as decayed meats, grains or vegetables
must be rigidly excluded from the poul-
try yard, as it can be only question of
time when they will cause more or less
serious digestive disorders. Be sure
that all food is such as will really devel-
Oh and nourish the fowls. Second only
to the kind of food given is the whole
subject of cleanliness. Both houses and
yards should have careful, systematic
cleaning at frequent intervals to guard
against all kinds of disease. A regular
system Of both cleaning and feeding
should be mapped out and followed,
rain or shine. Clean fowls and clean
food must go hand in hand, and the bet
ter the work is done the greater will be
the success.-Prairie Farmer. -
