Cronstadt, Sept 13.-The vessels of
the Baltic fleet, which have sailed for
the far east contained nine battleships
and four cruisers and several torpedo
boats and torpedo boat destroyers. The
fleet will merely touch at Libau. where
it will be joined by IL transports, col
liers and supply ships, already waiting
there. and will then proceed direct to
the orient.
The scene of the departure of the
fleet was an imposing one. At dawn
the first anchor was hoisted on the
cruiser Aurora, which, accompanied by
two torpedo boats, slipped out of the
harbor. The town was awakened by
the booming of the guns of the forts
as the Aurora sped toward Libau in
advance of the main squadron.

Then, with destroyers ahead and

down the Finnish gulf. The water front
and piers and forts were crowded with
spectators. The ensigns on the yachts
were dipped and the guns from each
chain OF forts across the bay joined
in an admiral's salute, while from the
masts above the forts f1uttered string

the fleet as far as Libau, from which
port this modern armada of almost 40

Handling Bags of Grain.

Handling Bags of Grain.
In grain-growing sections more or
less grain in bags has to be handled
by man-power, and this becomes con-
siderable of a burden after time.
A device for assisting in this work
may be easily constructed by any
handy man. Set heavy post in the
ground so that it will stand about two
and one-half feet above the surface;
then take a heavy board, the wider
the better, and about ten feet long.
Cut two pieces of board wedge-shape
and fasten to the lower edge of the
board. Cut these pieces SO that when
they fest on the ground with the other
end of the board resting on the beveled
top of the post the whole thing is
firm.
Then have hook formed with a
short handle. such a hook as is used
by truckmen in the cities. With the
hook lift the sack of grain on the
lower edge Of the board. haul it up
the smooth surface Of the board and

Hard Flowing.

When the plow is hard to hold, 1t IL
safe to say that it is hard work for the
teams to draw it. This may be be-
cause Of roots or stones, in which case
the cause is obvious, but if not, some
thing else is wrong, and the cause
should be found and the trouble rene
died. 1t would be cheaper to get new
plow than to wear out plowmen and
team with a plow in poor condition
But as often as not the trouble arises
from the line of draft not being right.
1t would seem that any farmer should
know if his plow runs her nose into
the ground" SO that he found he had
to bear his weight on the handles, or
pulled out SO that he had to lift it on
to keep it in. whether it took too wide
furrow or too narrow one, and
should know how to remedy 1t, yet we
have known a farm hand to work all
day with plow when he was putting
out more strength every hour than hc
would have used in days work with
the same plow had he ''hitched" tho
team properly.-American Cultivator.

Handling Fowls in Yards.


Where it is necessary to keep the
fowls confined to houses and yards dur
ing the summer and not much chance
to divide the yards, the best way to
handle them is to have the yards of
four-foot netting. the top covered over
as well, and every few weeks move
these yards to new location, where
fowls have not been the present year.
This is considerable trouble, but it
must be done If chicks and fowls are
kept on q small area If it Is not pos
sible to let the fowls have a range,
then green food must be provided in
some way. A good plan Is to give
them some cut grass or weeds at night
just before they 60 to roost.
A better plan is to rake up the cut
tings following the lawn mower, for
they can consume these short blades
better than grass cut with scythe.
All fowls in confinement ought to be
allowed to run for an hour or two each
night, even though it Is necessary for
several people to keep them out Of mis-
chief. This run will do them a world
Of good, and the egg results will pay

use of the Huntington & Heberlein
smelling process. The process, which
has been largely introduced through
out Europe. is said to be especially
adapted to refractory zinc sulphites. 1t
is described as an improvement on the
roasting process. permitting more
perfect desulphurization, so that in
the subsequent smelling no lead mat is
formed, and high extraction of the
valuable metals in the future blast
furnace work is a natural consequence.
The process, it is stated, is now in al
most universal use in foreign coun
tries, though it has been only recently
introduced in the United States.

Strawberry Planting.

Most fruit growers are familiar with

determine the desirability of the va
riety. Then. too, it is possible to- u
crease ones own plantation by taEiAg
from the old beds the new plants and
setting them out in the new beds any
time this month. To do this with the
best results. cut the runner which con-
meets the new plant with the parent,

dig up the young plant with liberal
amount of soil attached to the roots
and set it with the soil on the roota
in the new bed.
With care not plant will be lost
in the transplanting and these plants
will give one crop of berries next sIln-

is to have the lump Of soil aunere to

young plant will not be materially
