Curing Timothy and Glover.

The proper curing Of hay is one OF the
most important points In securing the crop.
10 my own expei ience, writes W. L. Heln
ker In Farmers Guide, have found that
the more rapidly the bay is cured, the bet
ter the hay will be. There is difference
In the mode Of cutting and curing between
clover and timothy ard as am a great
friend of clover, will take that first.
commence about o'clock In the after
noon and with Elk foot mschne can cut
four or five acres, according to the size and
shape Of the piece, before dark. In the
morning start the ttdder as coon as the
sun has shown on the mown hay for an
hour or so, and keep It gong until the fret
mown hay Is cured enough to commence
raklng. Then ! stop the tedder and begin
raking with side delivery rake and use q
good loader to place 1t In the wagon.
Hay can be put in good tight NOW with
80 per cent Of Its own moisture il II, and
make the best Of hay, with nice clean,
when cut, which should be when the Arst
few blossoms begin to turn brown. Hay
put ia the NOW with 10 per cert. foreign
moisture 10 1t will not keep good, s)me Of
1t will be spoiled when taken cut. Salt
sprinkled on hay when putting 1t In The
NOW has spoiled great deal more hay
than 1t has saved. Leav1 tie two last loads
In the evening, on the wagons 10 the barn,
then In the morning while the dew Is on
the grass they can be unloaded by the spare
hands. Also hsve them sharpen the now

the time comes to begi1 again on the hay,

possible and keep the NOV as tight As yon
can. A great ,nount Of frs.class hay has

NAVAL BILL DISCUSSED.
Warm Debate on the Measure in the
House.

Washington, Feb. 26.-"Don't give
UP the Ship was the plea made te
the house by Representative Meyer
(La.), who opened the debate on the
naval bill, and addressed himself te
the pending amendment of Mr.. Bur
ton to strike out the provision fol
the battieship authorized in the bill.
Mr.. Meyer took Mr.. Rixey Va.)
to task because in the debate Wednes
day he had indorsed the Burton
amendment. Admiral Dewey, MI
Meyers said, had emphasized before
the committee the necessity of bat
tleships recommending them as pref
cradle 10 cruisers.
Mr.. Meyer who is to offer motiof
to recommit the bill to the committee
with instructions to eliminate the pro
vision for two cruisers and to make
several other changes explained thai
I il he were to follow his own judgment
and desires he would urge upon his
colleagues the acceptance of the whole
building programme.
Mr.. Gillett (Mass) said the pres
ent condition of the war between ia
pan and Russia justified the building
programme in the bill. The chances
which Japan had to win in this war he
declared to be about even.
Mr.. BranGiges (Conn.) spoke for the
bill.
Mr.. Fitzgerald IN. " declared
that before the war between Japan

JAPAN-KoREA TREATY.
NO IMMEDIATE ACTION IS REQUIREB
CZAR'S GOVERNMENT ASSERTS
THAT THE CONVENTION is
NULL AND VOID.

Paris, Feb 26-It is the belief in
the highest official quarters that the
powers will support the Russian view
of the invalidity of the Japanese treaty
with Korea so far as it creates a Jap
anese protectorate over Korea, owing
to the emperor's being under duress.
But it is said that no Immediate &C
tion on the part of the powers is re-
quired, as the question of the recog-
milton of the protectorate will definite
ly arise when the terms of peace are
considered In the meantime official
opinion here is strongly sympathetic
with Russia's position and it is con-
sidered that Russia's note to the pow
ers protesting against Japan's viola
tion of Korean neutrality fully protects
international rights. as the protest an
tedates the official announcement OF
the conclusion of the treaty The for

JOYFUL AT ST. PETERSBURG.
Russians Claim Great Victory at
Port Arthur.

St. Petersburg. Feb. 26.--No further
details are available of the unsuccess-
full attempt of the Japanese to bottle
up the Russian fleet at Port Arthur
by sinking big merchantmen at the
mouth ofathe harbor. The brief de-
tails contained in the official dispatch
es indicate that the coup was planned,
according 10 the Japanese tactics, to
take place during the night, that it
was desperately pushed and backed
by eight torpedo boats, which contin-
ued lighting until daylight, but that
it failed completely Great praise is
given to the Russian battleship Ret
vizan, which lay outside the harbor
entrance, for her gallant work in beat
ing Off the enemy. Her part in the
action shows that the reports of the
injuries which she is said to have sIs-
tanned in the attack of Feb, 8 were
grossly exaggerated. The of6cial dis
patches do not make clear the exact
number of ships sent in for the pur-
pose. of blocking the threat of the
harbop or whether the four vessels
destroyed were, hsached aby the fire
from sthe shore batteries or by the
fire of the Retvizan. Consequently all
the unknown additional details are ex-
pected from Viceroy Alexieff in the
course Of the day. AS he is at Muk-
den the reDort of the commander at
Port Arthur first goes to him and
thence is forwarded to the czar.
The news of the Japanese repulse
was received here with great rejoicing
and was looked upon as partially wip-
ing out the score against the enemy.

Port Arthur, Feb. 26.-At about 4

Dor and dock. With this object four
merchant steamers, accompanied by
torpedo vessels, were sent from two

ing positions:
One behind Golden Hill, one near
the Retvizan, two between the en-
trance of the channel and Laothieshan

still burning.

whiskey claim by handing to United

from a customs decision rendered in

increasing the duty from 40 to 250 per
