RUSSIANS MARCH OUT.
Pathetic Scenes Witnessed at Evacua.
ton OF Port Arthur-Japs Bear
Burdens Of Prisoners.

Adv:ces from headquarters Of the
Third japanese Army state that five
thousand men Of the Russian garrison
at Port Arthur were marched from
the village at Yahutsui, on the shores
CT Pigeon Bay, for Is miles to the
railway station at Changlingtsu at 8
o'clock Monday, and the other detach.
ments followed soon after. Each de-
tachment was accompanied by six
loaded transport carts, <
The Russians during the night were
taken on special trains of open trucks
to Dalny and there they will immes
diately embark for Japan on trans
ports noY waiting in that port.
The long procession OF the once
gallant Russian garrison was pa
thetic spectacle. The first arrivals at
Changlingtzu were four droskies drawn
by sorry looking horses. They contain.

to give their parole. All wore their
swords, as they were allowed to do.

compact. A few minutes later the
first detachment arrived. The regi-
mental officers marched with their
men, their heads bowed and their
faces Of the Russian officers were an
the result of the mental and physical
strain they had undergone during the
long defense.
AS the Japanese soldiers crowded
about them with evident curiosity the
faces of the Russia nofficers were an
interesting study. All Of them ap-
=peared to feel their ht,miliating posi-
ton keenly and though some seemed
to be resigned to their situation, 9TH
ers were resentful at being regarded
with curiosity. The men looked to be
well fed, but their faces, Ike those Of
the officers, indicated the awful phys
ical strain they had undergone.
The horses drawing the transport
carts were suffering with fatigue,
though the loads were small They
were tied to the carts and led By or.
derlies. In the professions were many
lean looking pet dogs belonging to the
officers.
In many, cases officers refused to
wear their swords, but had them car
ria1 behind them by the orderlies. The
officers saluted the European and.
American co ~esponaents with the
japanese army and appeared to Sbe
both well pleased and @astonished at
seeing the Europeans and Americans
there. The prisoners were treated
with the greatest respect and kind.
ness. though they were regarded with
much natural curiosity The soldiers
were given food, cigarettes and beer,
and the japanese soldiers were seen
voluntarily carrying the effects Of the
prisoners when they were overcome
by fatigue.

Field re.ts on Potstoe-.

The results of our field tests on po-
tatoes this past season have been re-
markable in that two new varieties
have proven, in competition with the
heavy yielding standard sorts, worthy
of trial by all potato growers. We do
not believe in small tests Of 4 few hills.
but rather plant new varieties as they
come out, iii field tests of from one to
five acres. each in competition With
potatoes that have a reputation as re-
markably heavy yieIders. The Ionia
Seeding, a new late potato Of parent
age of the Rural New Yorker family,
throws a white sprout and was planted
on three different farms in competition
with Carman No. ), American Giant
and Sir Walter Raleigh, and in each
case the Ionia Seeding yielded within
q few bushels Of 800 bushels per acre,
more than 800 in two cases. and little
less in the other, while in the same
field and the same culture the Carnlan
No. 8 produced 1o5 bushels, the Amer
lean Giant 175 bushels and Sir Walter
Raleigh $50 bushels.
The other variety that La- given ex-
ceedingly satisfactory results in our
fields tests this season is the potato
known as the Early Manistee. This
is a Seeding of the old Early Rose.

United States Supreme Court Decides
Railroad Damage Case.
A Washington special says: The gu
preme court Of the United States Mon.
day held as void the Georgia law max.
ing the initial carrier liable in cases
Of damages in freight shipments even
though 1t occurs outside the state. The
opinion was delivered by Justice Peck
ham. In the case Of the Central %of
Georgia Railroad vs.. Murphy. The
damage alleged In tais case amounting
to $434 occurred to car load Of
grapes shipped from Barnesville, Ga,
to Omaha. Neb., the Georgia road be-
ing the road on which they were de-
livered. Murphy brought suit under
the state lew. In the course Of his
opinion, Justice Peckham said:
"The power to regulate the relative
rights and duties of all persons and
corporations within the limits of the
state cannot extend so far as to reg
ulate interstate commerce. The po-
lice power of the state does not give
it the right to violate any provision
Of the Federal constitution. Being Of
the opinion that the statute in ques-
ton when applied to an interstate
shipment, is regulation Of interstate
commerce, We must hold the statute.
so far as it affects such shipments to
be void on that account,
The judgment of the Georgia SO.
preme court was reversed. and the
case remanded for further proceed
ings.

And they called me names and did
ofttimes chide me numerically, and
seemed to think it small business. But
to-day my brothers and sisters all are
grannies rs said they would be, but
they have adopted a more pleasing
name. "Fanciers" they are. Forty
eight years ago took the fever, "hen
fever" the same epidemic that prevails
to-day up and down the length and
breadth of this great land, and the
only remedy is let it run its course.
The patient will live through it, never
fear. I was not satisfied with the old
Dutch hen; they were too common for
me. I bought setting Of ''Shang-
hal" eggs, from it were hatched three
chicks, two cockerels and one puliet.
I remember how I watched those
naked bipeds Ito the disgust of my
folks, who saw in them only chickens).
until the last seen, of either was the
last one being devoured by the old SOW:
With this knockout the fever left me.
About two years after the episode
above related I met man in town.
He said to me, "WFill, come and see
my chicks He had the contagion.
and coming in contact with it and not
being vaccinated I took it the second
time. and it sticketh-no ''intermit-

To Avoid Milk Fever.

Experiments in the feeding Of car
rots, beets and small potatoes to cows
show that milk fever is less liable to
occur when COWS are fed literally on
root crops than when they are confined
to hay and grain. No corn should be
given for six weeks before calving.
Linseed meal may be allowed with the
hay, which should be cut fine and the
linseed meal sprinkled over it.
