INTENSIVE FARMING.

Pittsburg, Pa.-Rev. ]. d. DIETRICH,
who has a farm Of about fifteen acres
near Philadelphia, has become pretty
extensively known as an intensive
farmer" In a talk before the annual
meeting OF the Pennsylvania live
stock breeders, lately held in Pitts
burg, Mr.. DIETRICH gave the members
some idea OF how he manages 20 keep
on his limited acreage thirty head OF
dairy cattle for which he raises a great
part OF the feed
Proceeding on scientific lines, recoe-
mixing that the beneficial bacteria OF
the soil should be made the farmers
coworkers, Mr.. DIETRICH has worked
systematically to build up a soil that
by chemical analysis now contains
20.OOOOO0 Of bacteria TO one-thirtieth
OF cubic inch, where ordinary soils
have but 100000. BY his thorough
and painstalxing methods he has grown
as much as thirty tons OF ensilage corn
to the acre and cut four crops OF hay
in season. Corn planted on this land
after n heavy crop OF green rye had
been cut for hay made wonderfully
quick and good growth. The upbuild-
ing OF wornout soils and the mainte-
nance OF fertility can only be accom-
plished by intelligent study or condi-
tions in every case. Mr.. Deitrich's
success will be a stimulus in this d.

THE LAND FORCES
JAPANESE GETTING READY TO
MOVE FORWARD.
ARE AFTER RUSSIAN POSITIONS
Military Experts Believe Japan's Next
Effort viii Be on the Land-Prepar.
atoms that Must Be Made Before
the Army Can Go Forward.

LONDON.-(New York Herald Ca
blegram) Game is made by some
English papers of the published re-
port that the Nladivostok squadron
has put to sea and captured a small
Japanese merchant steamer off the
northern coast of Japan. This is sar-
castically called a brilliant exploit but
the important fact is recognized TO be
that the Vladivostoli squadron is now
located. General opinion here is that
1t cannot achieve anything of conse-
quence.
Military and naval experts here
agree with the impression reported to
prevail in New York that the Japanese
are already. prepared to move in force
on the Russian position on the Yalu.
II is questioned first of all whether
the whole story of the concentration
of any considerable Russian army on
the Yalu Is not mere myth. In that
case it may be that the Japanese will
find it worth their while to brush
aside, with division rapidly pushed
forward to the scene. the Russian
troops which presumably cover a con
siderable accumulation of stores such
as 1t may be we'll worth while either
to seize or destroy. This would, how
ever not be a serious advance for de-
cisive action against the Russian army
as such, but only a lIaneuver for the
advantage of position and to hamper
Russian movements by destroying the
GtnrnG which thnN ho1 o,I lot cd
for their large forces. Previous to
any advance of the Japanese army for
decisive action, if they are in the
presence at this point of really for.
midable Russian forces, there must be
vast accumulation of ammunition,
both for artillery and infantry. There
must be collection of immense guam
titles of medical stores and appli-
ances. All these, besides food, must
be gathered in convenient depots near
to the front.
Latest reports from the front indi-
cate that battle on land is expected
hourly. The Japanese have massed
troops on the Yalu river, toward which
a Russian force is believed to be
marching and a second line of defense
is being formed between the river and
Seoul, capital of Corea.
1t is reported that 200 of the crew
of the Russian ship Variag lost their
lives during the fight at Chemulpo
A German cruiser has been sent to
take German women and children from
Port Arthur
The Russian battlcships Czarovitch
and Retvizan have been floated, but
the cruiser Pallada is still on the
beach.

KILLED ONE HUNDRED CHINESE
This is What the Russians Are
CHARGED with Doinu

LONDON-Special dispatches from
Toxic announce the arrival of Japan
csc troops at Seoul, but beyond this
the dispatches published in the news
papers here this morning add prac.
tically nothing to the knowledge of
the actual situation.
The Tien Tsin correspondent of the
Standard sends in a report that this
Russians have massacred 100 Chinese
at Lao Yang, in consequence OF
which the officials at Shan Hal Kwan
are greatly alarmed and are appeal
ing to Pekin for protection Other
dispatches say that 400 French troops
have been ordered from there to Seoul
for the protection of the French lega
ton at the Korean capital, the EN-.
peror having taken refuge there.
These reports lack confirmation.
The correspondent of the Daily
Mail at Tien Tsin says that Ii, the
favorite court official of the dowager
empress of China, has been decoyed
away and beheaded by order of Yuan
Shi Kai, commander, in-chief of the
Chinese army and navy. Ii was pro
Russian in his feelings.

CUSTOM HOUSE is RUINED.
Contents Of Bank Vaults in Good
Condition

BALTIMORE.-As result of an
examination of the new custom house
building, it is almost certain that the
whole structure must be torn down,
so great is the damage done The
building is now nearly up to the third
floor and nearly S35O,O00 of work has
been done. The building is about
half completed. A careful examina-
ton will be made later before the CON
tractors, Henry Smith e. Sons of Bal.
timore, are notified what must be
done under the contract. Under the
law the loss will fall on the contrac-
tors unless congress passes a relief
measure.
The vaults have been found in good
condition in several banks where ex-
aminations were made This includes
the vaults of the National Exchange
bank, where it is understood there
are 100000 of United States govern
ment funds in the vault.
