GLAD ALExIEFF is OUT.
Russians Believe He Will Return,
Now kurOpafkin Is in Power.


St. Petersburg, Oct. 29.-Viceroy
Alexieff's order of the day announcing
Kuropakin's appointment is in the
same grandiose vein as Kuropatkin's s
order of October 5, and is regarded as
having definitely established the auth
orship of that ilI-starred document.
While Alexieff takes particular
pains, in turning over the supreme
command of the land forces to Kuro-
patkin, to inform the soldiers and the
world of the marks of imperial conf
dence reposed in him, and to announce
that he will remain as viceroy, the or
der is considered as virtually his fare
we'll address, and that it will soon be
followed by his return to st. Peters
'Nurg. His elimination as factor in
the military situation has caused
sigh of relief.
The papers all welcome the an
nouncement of Kuropatkin's appoint
ment to the chief command as we'll
merited recompense for the manner in
which he discharged the difficult 1ole
imposed upon him, and, reading be-
tween the lines, as promise of better
results now that Alexieff is eliminated,
and there is no longer a prospect of
elevation of grand duke to the su-
preme command.

REGRET IS Keen
Admiral Says Attack on
TraWIerS Was Accident.
WERE TAKEN FOR THE ENEMY
Three BaffIeships and Transport
Anchor at VigO, Spain-They
Desire to Make Repairs.

Vigo, Spain, Oct. 2s.-The Russian
battleships Emperor Alexander III,
Borodino, Orel and Kniazornff and the
transport Anatol anchored in this port
today, causing considerable excitement.
The government will not allow them to
coal, and requests they leave port as
soon as possible.
The Associated Press has succeeded
in obtaining an interview with Ad-
miral Rojestvensky, who expressed
great regret over the North Sea incl
dent. The admiral stated that the un-
fortunate occurrence was purely acci-
dental. The weather on the night in
question was rather hazy. About a.
m. two torpedo boats, which the Rus
slams supposed were Japanese craft,
suddenly appeared between the two
divisions of the squadron and semeed
to discharge torpedoes. The Russians
Immediately opened fire. They saw
no fishermen, and were not aware that
any damage had been done. Evident
ly, the admiral said, the fishermen had
shown no lights. The admiral re-
peated tnat he greatly regretted that
any injury had been done fishermen,
and added he had no doubt the Rus
sian government would make ample
compensation.
Prince KeretelIi, an officer of the
battleship Alexander III, gives the
following explanation of the attack by
the Baltic squadron upon the British
trawlers off Dogger Bank:
"The transport AnatoI, which was
steaming ahead of the squadron, was
suddenly surrounded by eight torpedo
boats and requested assistance, where
upon the battleship division advanced
and signaled to the unknow vessels to
leave or disclose their nationality.
The vessels refused to obey, and ad-
vanced among the Russian battleships.
Suddenly a cannon shot was heard
from an unknown vessel. Then the
admiral formed in battle line and re-
piled to the fire, a;terward continuing
his voy yage."
Prince Keretelli added that the
Russians feared the strange torpedo
boats were japanese, as the admiral
was aware the Japanese had pure hased
such boats in England.

Notes About the Farm,

A good rotation for stock farm is
corn, oats and grass.
Spread manure as it is hauled out,
save labor and secure the best results.
The average farmer should buy as
little and sell as little feed as pos
sible.
The greatest profit in feeding sheep
for mutton is gained while the animals
are young.
Bran is rich in bone. and serves an
other good purpose in keeping the
bowels open.
Animals cannot thrive their best on
dry food alone, no matter how rich
and plentiful.
by horses standing in soft ammonia
breathing manure.
The variety of sheep is not Of so
much consequence as is the item of
securing a good growth Of wool.
Above the food of productions that
goes to milk. COW demands food Of
support in proportion to her size.
A rapid taking on of fat is not al
ways an indication Of health and
thrift; quite often the contrary, in
fact
The first and most important item
in the dairy is to select the cow for
the special purpose for which she is
to be used.
The hog is only a machine for turn
ing grains into meat. and the greater
capacity it has for this the greater will
be the profit.
Poultry Pickings.
Whole corn is the best feed at night
kerosene the roost all over every
week.
Hot tar is a good remedy for red
mites.
Poultry for the plum trees and swine
for the apple orchard.
Make the hens scratch for a living
by scattering their grain among litter.
Do not undertake to run things econ
o1nically by starving the young poultry.
When geese have plenty of room
they do best when allowed to forage
and secure their own food.
One advantage in the use of drv
dirt for the dust boxes is that it also
prevents lice.
If the hens are given plenty of dry
dirt they will dust frequently and re-
move lice from their bodies.
Eggs cannot be secured wnen they
are highest unless the poultry be made
comfortable and fed properly.
In building the poultry house, have
it so constructed that the fowls may
have the benefit of ali of the sunlight
possible

Death-DeaIinE Wire Fences

Since the use of wire fences has be-
come so extensive the number of cat
tie killed each year by lightning has
greatly increased. Farmers insurance
companies have investigated the mat
ter. and now come forward with Il
warning to policy holders. Nearly all
of the cattle killed by lightning have
met their death in open fields, where.
In many instances. there was not even
a tree to attract the electric fluid. As
many dead cattle We're found near
wire fences. this led to the discovery
that the lightning was carried along
the wires composing the fences. Dur
ing severe storm cattle are liable to
run until stopped by a fence. Here
they stand huddled together ready for
the bolt. A remedy is suggested in
running a ground wire every ten rods
several feet into the earth.
