JAPAN NOW HAS FOUR ARMIES
PITTED AGAINST THE RUS
SIAN FORCES.
Has Gone to Manchuria to AS
sumo Command.

LONDON, July S.-There are four
Japanese armies now in the field.
three of which are acting in cO-Opera-
ton in the general advance against
General Kuropatkin in Manchuria,
leaving the fourth engoged in the
siege of Port Arthur. The four ar
mics are accompanied respectively by
Generals kuriki, Oku, Noduz and No
81. Marquis Oyama. the commander
in-chief, is expected in Manchuria, the
coming week to take supreme COM
mand of the four armies
The first army, General Kuroki's, is
that which disembarked at Chemul
pho between February 8 and March /,
consisting of 22,50O men-17,OO0 COM
batants and $500 cooies-with 5000
horses and thrty-siX guns and an i'm
mense supply of stores and ammuni-
ton. This army is that which march
ed through Corea to the Yalu, crossed
lIldt river DIT the Ddtlle Oh Cnln -Llen-
Cheng on May /, and having occupied
Feng Wang Cheng, has made its
headquarters there pending the devel-
opment of the plan of campaign.
Kurokis army was originally COM
| the Second and Twelfth divisions, and
possibly has been reinforced by the
Seventh, Eighth and Ninth divisions,
these three being those kept back for
disposition as circumstances might re-
quire.
The second army. under General Oku
| is that which was landed at Pitsewo
| and elsewhere on the Liao-Tung pc
ninsula. After obtaining possession
of Kao-Chow and the neck of the pc
ninsula by the battle of NanShan, this
army was divided, two divisions and
possibly another being intrusted, as
| the fourth army, with the task of sub
jugating Port Arthur. under General
Nogi, while General Oku led the rest
! of the force northward along the line
| of the Manchurian railway to coop
crate with kuroki and Nozu. 1t was
| this army which engaged and drove
back General Stakelberg, at the battle
| of WafangOW. 1t originally consisted
of the First. Second, Third, Fourth and
Fifth divisions.
Lastly, the third army is that of
General Nodzu, which was landed at
| Taku- Shan and concentrated in the
posed of the Sixth, Tenth and Elev-
enth divisions.
Including the Seventh. Eighth and
Ninth divisions, the location of which
| is not certain, this accounts for all
| the thirteen divisions of the Japanese
army. Roughly speaking, the strength
| of a Japanese division, combatants
and non combatants, is $4,000.
| If the permonent active army has
been put into the field there would be
altogether 203 battalions, ffty-f five
souadrons of cavalry, 6S4 cannon, 61,-
$50 horses, 1900 officers and 193,7OO
men.
1t has been reported that the reserve
battalions of each division have also
been sent into the field. This adds fiji
tv-two battalions, seventeen squad
rons. ia cannon, 5000 horses, 1000 Of
fcers and $4,000 men, making the to-
tai of fighting men 22S,300 rank and
file and $500 officers. Allowing for
troops guarding communications, gar
risons and $4,000 engaged at Port
Arthur this would give 100000 men, or
100. 900 approximately, as opposed to
the Russian army at General Kuropat-
kin's disposal.

The Temperament of Beef Cattle.
Editors Progressive Farmer:

In oder for a person Or cattle to fatten up
quickly it is necessary that an even temperament
should be had. An e~xcitable, nervous te1npera-
ment can never produce good beef. The small,
energetic, nervous type may be a good mixer,
but it is hardly satisfactory for beef raising. The
beef cattle are always heavy, phlegmatic animals,
who seem not to be possessed by any nerves at all.
These animals take their food and rest on it.
and the processes Of digestion and assimilation
go on without interruption. There is nothing SO
injurious to cattle as any excitement or freight
which will interrupt digestion.
This concerns the dairyman and cattle raiser
in two ways. He should first consider the tenn
permanent of the animal very carefully. The tenn
permanent decides more than anything else the
characteristics of the animal. The high-strung
race horse or trotter sould no more be fattened
than the high-strung, nervous dairy COWS whose
temperaments have long been characteristic of
them. They may be good mixers, but even to do
this they4nspst be carefully handled and not
frightened M excited, but never good beef pro-
ducers. The form of the beef cattle is quite well
known, but it is even possible to secure an ami
NAL that has the beef form and yet possess too
many nerves to be thoroughly profitable for beef.
The cattle raiser should inquire into the tempera-
ment of the animal, for in spite of everything
else this will concern his welfare fully as much
as the question of breed.
The second point which must be considered is
the matter of handling the animals. There is
nothing in the world so difficult as to handle prop
erly a highly-strung, nervous COW, and yet upon
the success of this must largely depend the ulti-
mate question of profit or loss. We cannot afford
to worry or brighten cattle, especially dairy cattle,
but then we cannot afford to mix excitable ami
mails with the ordinary herd in the pasture. 1t is
absolutely essential that the herd should be weed
ed Of all such animals. They must be kept sepa-
rate where little or no trouble will be experienced
in handling them. We may be reaching a higher
milk-producing standard in rearing nervous,
highly-strung animals, but we are also adding to
our burdens. It requires higher scientific methods
of breeding and feeding to make such animals at
all profitable. E. P. NTH

AL 1uOuSIr1cS are more OF less luuu6uC6Q Dy
their environments. On every farm is to be found
certain quantities of natural poultry food-hence
poultry raising should always be a factor in the
products of the farm.
HOW MANY FOWLS TO KEEP.
The problem that suggests itself for solution
here is how much can this natural supply of
food Consisting of bugs, worms, insects, grass.
seed, wild grain, etc. be supplemented with such
grains as is generally fed by the average farmer,
and still retain enough of a balanced ration as
to be profitable in the promotion of health or
growth and the production of eggs-for be you
we'll assured that whenever the number of fowls
on the lot exceeds your food supply, you must
supply it from other sources or your birds will
become unfroftable. Therefore the number of
fowls you can keep on your place depends on the
quantity of rational food you have or intend to
supply in any form.
I have always noticed that the less the number
of hens kept the more eggs in proportion. I
knew a farmer who kept forty hens and got a
good many eggs. He increased to one hundred
and twenty-five hens and gets fewer eggs than
with forty. I knew a lady who kept twenty
ducks, and that nearly every one laid through
the spring months. She increased to sixty and
~g6t hardly any eggs at all the next spring.
I promised some time ago to give our readers
the benefit of my experience in raising poultry
on the farm. This has been strictly practical
tests; hence, is within reach of the average farm
er or any man or woman having a desire for
such work.
AS TO BREEDS.
AS to breeds, this is mostly a matter of fancy.
1 have tried several breeds of chickens, turkeys,
ducks and geese, but really don't know which
is best at present. l am trying the Cherokee
strain of Barred Plymouth Rock chickens; these
are fine, well shaped birds, weighing seven and
one-half to eight and one-half pounds, and are
the best winter layers 1 have yet had, though I
think the Leghorns will lay more eggs in twelve
months than the Llymouth Rocks. They lay
large, slightly brown, eggs, hatch well, and the
chicks grow rapidly and feather easily.
l have ~ffty-one or ~ffty-two hens and four
r~oosters. These are kept in four houses, ten by
twelve feet, seven feet pitch; twelve or thirteen
hens and one cock to each house. These are
built tight on north and west sides, south and
east sides open with wire net to keep them in
on these two sides and to give plenty of air in hot
weather.
1 feed corn in the morning, wheat bran at
night. To the latter, I add all table scraps and
vegetables. Potatoes, ETC., that are left and wet
up with the liquor in which the meal and vegeta-
bles have been boiled.
AN INCUBATOR PAYS.
For Matching, I use an incubator, and find this
far less trouble and less expensive. In fact, I
can't afford to allow valuable hens to sit. 1t so
weakens them that it takes too long to get them
to laying again. Put two hundred eggs in the in
cubator on fifth day test and throw out all clear
eggs on the eighth day test, again throwing out
