Ruaslans Good Retreatera.

For hundreds of years the Russians
have been making themselves famous
as a nation of retreaters. The history
of almost every conflict into which
they have entered is filled with de-
scriptions Of retreats retreats which
have either been flights before a vic
torious foe, as in the present war in
Manchuria, or retreats designed to
lure pursuers on. to defeat. as in the
case of Napoleon. When the first de-
feats came to Russian arms in the ori.
ent, and the armies of the car began
to fall back, military experts and mil
lions of other people said:
wait! The Japanese seem vic
torious now-but it is Russian policy
to retreat to lure her victims on!"
In a score of wars, fought in nearly
every country in Europe and Asia
this policy Of retreating has LOST
half million men, OF one-fourth Of
all those sent out to fight the battles
of Russian czars.

The most astonishing feature Of Eu.
rope in the care of milk on the farm is
the entire absence Of refrigeration in
France, and the general ignoring OF
the value Of cold in dairying. In the
matter Of dairy appliances and equip
ment, the United States is surpassed
by no other country, although Den.
mark and parts of Great Britain stand
about as well.
In most big cities of Europe there
are few well-conducted milk delivery
establishments, such as are usually
found in our smallest cities, while in
some localities dairy animals are
driven through the streets and MIXED
at customers doors. Mich cows are
managed in the same way even in the
pest streets Of Paris and OF Rome.
