Russian military experts admit the
seriousness of the loss of Kin-Chow,
but insist still on the impregnability
of Port Arthur. However, with that
stronghold isolated. it is difficult to
see how Russia can expect another
Sebastopol, where open communica-
lions and disagreements between
allies were important in pTolOnging
the siege. Should Japan capture Port
Arthur, by holding the line across
the bases of the Korean peninsular
and the peninsular of Liao-Tung, she
would be in control of Korea and
maritime Manchuria, and might rea-
sonably stay still and defy Russia to
put her out. This would thoroughly
demoralize Kuropatkin's plan of lur-
ing the foe to Mukden or farther,
where it could be annihilated at leis-
ure, and bring before Russia the
necessity of either taking the often
sive or quitting altogether.

Life, not death, is the important
thing, and how to live, not how to
die, should be mans chief concern.
While it is well to keep green the
memory of brave men, who persisted
that a great ideal might endure, it is
better stilI TO know that the higher
meaning of Memorial Day is not to
be found in the cemetery, where sleep
the silent hosts Of those who have
made their worthy sacrifice, but in
the great ideas of brotherhood and
equity, cooperation and freedom.
which were the inspiration Of their
sacrifice. The men who fought have
passed beyond our ken, but the ideal
for which they fought is a living
presence with us today. Our great
est duty TO the dead hero is not the
placing of flowers and a flag upon his
grave, but the continuing of his fight
for the preservation of the ideal OF
union and right for which he lay
down his life. The test of the sin
cerity of our Memorial Day observa-
tions is unselfish living for country
and for fellow-man.

AMERICAN FARMER BETTER

Prot. L. h. Bailey, of Cornell ool-
lege, who is travelling thru the farm
ing countries of Europe, says the
American farmer is much better of.
in many ways than his European
brothers. The farmer in Europe
possesses greater skill in manual
work and in some respects is a bot
ter technical farmer. This is true,
namely, because he keeps closer to
the ground. He is at the and of q
hoe handle or shovel handle while
the American farmer gets his point
of view from the high seat of q
reaper or sulky plow. This act
comes out prominently in all those
enterprises which have to do with
extensive farming, gardening or
fruit growing. In Europe the farm
or loves his tree and his potato
plants, while the American farmer
loves his garden. and his orchard.
The farmer in Europe is likely to
get more money out OF individual
acres and individual units whereas
the American is likely to get more
out of his larger, acreage. 7

FARM SEPARATORS.

F It has taken q good deal OF mis-
isionary work to induce the Western
farmer to adopt the Farm Cream,
Separator; but the advantage Of its
use is rapidly becoming apparent
and now it is only question Of
whether the farmer will have sep
arator or not, but what can the
farmer and cream buyer do to make
their use more profitable to all con-
cerned. ,-s}-~4' >r,- 4,,s~taa2.
One great advantage Of the separ-
ator is saving Of time. In the states
of Kansas and Nebraska the average
distance which farmers had to haul
their milk is about six miles. %=%z.
This made the average cost Of
about 10c per 100 pounds for milk
and often more than that. The
change to the home separator has
proved the means Of reducing the
cost of hauling in time or money, TO-
one cent or less per pound for butter
fat. The farmer pockets this differ
ence, and the creameries have larger
receipts. 49,, Z. st * S;g
Perhaps the greatest advantage to
the farmer by the use of the separa-
tor is the saving of skim milk. Un-s
der the old plan skim milk was not
improved by hauling it from six to
eight miles in a wagon over rough
roads. In fact it is said that skim
milk under such conditions some
times killed the calves and pigs and
was not worth hauling home. No
more complaint is heard on this
score, the calves and pigs get fat on
it.
Experiments show that in many
cases the farmer gets from a quarter
to one third more butterfat from the
same herd by tho use Of the separa-
tor. Under the old system the milk
often soured. sometimes on the road
to the creamery and it would. be re-
turned; and Sundays milk could
hardly ever be kept over, The sop
arator stops all this. With the sop
arator the farmer can milk 9 few
more cows, and the result = an in-

moro inanifesfsthan in onr general
use OF bank, credits or checks in set
ting Indebtedness The. Bank Of
France, for instance. keeps 800 col
lectors, as they, are called, in its en-
ploy. Every morning these men go
out with all the notes falling due
that day and visit the makers and
bring back the money in bulk: The
man who makes note, instead of
having the proceeds credited on his
account, receive the cash and takes
1t away with him and locks it up in
his safe. When the note falls due
he pays it in cash to the collector
who visits the debtors Office and
carries the money back to tho bank.
A more absurd waste of time can
hardly be imagined. With US,
couple of entries in the books of the
bank would save the double count
ing of the money and the risk of
carrying it to and fro. Not long
ago an American company built an
electrical plant for an Austrian city.
When the payment was made the
American agent intimated that a
certified check would be satistac-
tory. But he was obliged to receive
$4oO, ,0OO in bulk brought to his Office
by two porters whom he had to hire
to take the money back to the bank
where it was recounted and put to
his credit. An entire day was nee
essary for the operation, which in
our country would have occupied
not more than FIVE minutes.
We do not realize what an i'm
mense convenience banks are to the
community. 1t would be fair to say
that every check drawn represents
q saving of ten minutes Of valuable
time. In addition bank credits are
our principal currency and save all
the risk Of carrying on the person
