plantation. One year we found the
leaves covered with the currant worms
which we now know to be the i'm
ported currant worms. With them
must have been also many individuals
Of the imported currant borer family,
though we did not notice the differ
ence at the time. The imported cur
rant worm feeds on the leaves, while
the maggot Matching from the egg of
the imported currant borer at once
burrows into the stem and kills it, by
eating the pith. Had we sprayed the
bushes with hellebore in the spring
and repeated it once or twice we
would have caught both insects. Or,
had we sprayed with the same poison
for the imported currant worm when
it appeared, we would have caught not
only it but the borers.
As it was we did not take the trcu-
bic to buy hellebore and spray, but
every few days went over the bushes
and picked off the most numerous
colonies of currant worms. We saved
part of the foliage and supposed tnat
the battle was won, but in this we
were mistaken, for while we were
hghting the visible enemy on the
outer works, the sappers and miners
were busy tunneling under the fortifi-
cations, SO to speak
The next spring every stalk on
every bush was dead, and an exami-
nation showed that each stalk had its
plth partly eaten out. That was the
end OF the plantation, to our regret.
The lesson was a costly one, but it
is one that we are not likely to forget.
we have been impressed with the
fact that it is rather late to spray for
insects after they begin to swarm on
the bushes by the thousands.-Mary

Learning to Feed.

To feed fowls seems easy enough.
but in reality it is a science that has
to be learned Many a person has
been unable to so feed as to keep
their fowls in the best of condition.
Mere quantity is not all that is need
ed in getting results. One cannot
learn to feed properly without study
ing the bases of all feeding values.
Up to the present time we have had
no books that dealt with feeding pouI-
try as specially, because we have as
yet had very few experiments in the
feeding of poultry. In animal hus-
bandry we have books on feeds and
feeding, which have proved of great
value to the men doing the actual
work of feeding. We will have to
learn how to feed poultry as surely
as we have had to learn how to feec
other animals on the farm.

Take the Insects in Time.

The time to begin the fight against
insects is before they appear That
is, it is safest to treat the plants that
may be affected as il they were al
ready affected. We used to have a
thriving plantation of currant bushes.
There were eight rows and each -ow
was about thirty feet long. We ere
careful to manure the ground ell and
spade it up every season. during the
growing season we hoed the ground
over whenever there was a sign of
weeds coming up.
The result was that we obtained a
very good crop of currants each year,
and it was always a delight to pick
them, they hung in such large clus-
ters- From this currant patch came
jars OF currant preserves and numer-
GUS glasses of currant jelly for the
use of the family during the winter.
We didn't know anything about the
imported currant worm or the inn
ported currant borer, and # we had

RUSS NEWSPAPERS FOR PEACE.
Talk of Intrigue In Far East-Plan to
Increase Taxation.

The st. Petersburg papers are support
ing the campaign for peace and are be-
ginning to print quite openly the history
of the intrigues in the far East for the
protection Of private interests, devoting
special attention to NJ. BezObrazoff's
connection with the Yalu timber conces-
sion. The publications include a secret
memorandum of Gen. Kuropatkin point
ing out that war would be inevitable il
Russian interests were extended into
Korea.
The necessity for increased taxation
to meet the expenses of the war is rec
ognized and the minister Of finance has
submitted projects to the council of the
empire, including taxes on beer, matches,
ETC., and a graduated tax oil the salaries
of government officials beginning with /
per cent on salaries of over $500, which
altogether will realize about 81 100000.
There is also a proposition for a general
income tax, which undoubtedly would
prove the most popular form of raising
money, as it would bear heaviest on those
able to pay.

TEN YEARS FOR MRS. CHADWICK
Appeals Because Judge Sentenced on
Each Count Separately.

Mrs. Cassie l.. Chadwick, convicted on
seven counts of conspiracy 20 defraud
the government through illegal deals
with the Oberlin National Bank, was
sentenced by Judge Robert W. Taylor at
Cleveland to serve ten years in the
State penitentiary at Columbus.
On four of the counts a penalty Of
two years each was imposed. Upol two
counts a sentence Of one year eaca WAS
given and on the seventh no penalty was
imposed. BY good behavior Mrs. Chad
wick can reduce the penalty to eight
years and four months.
Her attorneys took exceptions to the
penalty upon each count except the first.
The defense will contend the court can
not impose a separate sentence for each
count; that the law applied to the gen.
eral charge instead of each incident OF
a general charge. This will be contested
in the higher court, as will the other
points which resulted in the conviction.
If by any remote possibility The woman
wins the appeal six other indictments are
hanging over her.

held the military command of Ussuria,
the province Immediately north of Korea,
and when the war opened was in COM
nan of the First Siberian army corps
and temporary commander in chief. 1t
is alleged that for a long time Gen. Line
witch and Kuropatkin have been rivals.
When Gen. Kuropatkin resigned from
the post Of minister of war and assumed
command of the Russian forces in the
far East, Russia confidently believed that
he would turn the tide of battle in Man
churia and wipe out the defeats which
had been inflicted upon Russian arms.
But although furnished with a splendid
army, and in addition having the advan-
tage of choosing his own battlefield, he
sustained reverse after reverse-the last
at Mukden with the sequel at Tie Pass,
being one of the greatest defeats which
RUSSIAN arms ever sustained. Kuropat-
kin was clearly outgeneraled by the Jap
anese commanders and all but suffered
the loss of his entire army, estimated at
about 100000 men.
The Russion losses at Mukden were
terrible, the aggregate being 1856 900
men in killed, wounded and prisoners.
The dead alone numbered 5000. The
japanese, too, suffered heavily, probably
10000 to 10000 men killed or wounded;
but they won the fight and inflicted a de-
feat upon the Russians from which the
latter can scarcely hope to recover dur
ing the present campaign.
From Mukden Kuropatkin led back
his shattered army to Tie Pass, where it
was supposed he would reorganize his
forces and again offer a front to the
enemy. But the japanese, by a wide
turning movement, drove the Russians
from the pass, forcing the latter to de-
stroy immense military stores and large
depots of food. 1t was at this j~uncture
that k~urOpatkin was superseded.
The army under Linevitch is still a for
midable one and with the fresh European
arrivals must number 100000 men. This
force, if properly led, should be capable
of delaying, if not positively checking, the
japanese advance. Just to what position
the Russians are retiring is not known.
Russia is now mobilizing an army of
100000 men for service in Manchuria.
Months must elapse before such a great
force can reach the east, and meantime
many things may happen. Evidently,
however, it is the intention of Russia to
continue the war and the feet under
Rojestvensky has sailed from Madagas-
car to, it is said, try conclusions with the
japanese upon sea.

Natives or the San Bias Coast

The natives Of the San Bias coast
part Of the western coast of South
America, have many peculiar customs.

comes the slave of his father-in-law
and must submit in all things to his
will until emancipated by his own
daughters marriage, when he sets up
his own home and becomes thence
forth master of his son-in-law. The
men are very jealous of their women,
and in case Of war or other grave
danger their first step is to kill their
wives and children. They believe
dreams and insanity to be the work Of
evil spirits, and the dreamer upon tell
ing his dream is killed. The insane
are burned alive. They allow no for

The wife of an army officer who re-
Gently went to the Philippines writes
glowing account of the journey, and,
instead of discomforts, which one is

found the experience altogether novel
and interesting. Honolulu she de-
scribes as a wonderfully picturesque

for the liver" and adds: "The drive
from the dock is the most beautiful
/ have ever seen; following the shore
line is an avenue covered and shaded
by immense cocoanut palms and ho-
yond tangle of tropical growth. The
natives were without garments, save
from their hips down, the women wear
ing trailing skirts in an effort to equal
ize their clothing"
She describes the passage through
the San Bernardino straits, through
reputed to be a dangerous one, as
very delightful mountains as large as
the Alleghenies sloping up from the
waters edge and green to their very
tops. They wound in and out among
the islands a day and a half and so
close to land that they could distin-
guish natives on the shore.
Like most others, she finds life in
Manila very fascinating, but admits
that her first introduction to a native
bed was not calculated to make them
lifelong friends. 1t has a cane-seat bot
tom, where springs usually set; on
that is spread thin pad and then a
straw mat, or one made of palm leaves,
upon which is laid the usual sheets,
etc. She says the civil government peo-
pie would like to have the entire army
evacuate the islands, but that in her
opinion, the army will be needed for
some time, and cites in that connection
the fact that the priests take the school
boys from the Luneta before "The Star
Spangled Banner" is played, which is
done at the close of every concert and
that the Spanish native element also
leaves.
