TWO GIGANTIC ARMIES FIGHTING.
A Million Men Engaged in the Battle
of Mukden

OF Mukden.
II was announced last week that
fully 100000 men were engaged in
the bloody conflict near Mukden. This
estimate is probably 25 per cent too
large, The aggregate of combatants
and noncombatants may have been
million, but the number of men
actually engaged in fighting was con
siderably below that figure
1t was announced several weeks ago,
from reasonably reliable source that
enough achievements had been sent
to General Kuropattin since the bat
ties of Liaoyang and the Shake to
place the effective strength of the Rus.
slams at about 100000 men. This agrees
approximately with more recent dis.
patches, which placed Kuropatkin's ar.
my at a little more than 400 900 men.
comprising $4,000 cavalry. $4,000 artil.
lery and 335, 600 infantry.
These figures make no allowance
for death, wounds or disability as the
result of sickness. It Is a well known
fact that more men in an army die or
are disabled from disease during a
campaign than are killed or disabled
by the fire of the enemy. The list of
invalids is always large, and if the
dead wounded, physically unfit and
those engaged in mental capacities
were eliminated from Kuropatkin's to-
tai fighting force it would probably be
found that he has had not more than
$50, 900 effective soldiers.
At the close of the fighting last fall
it was estimated that Field Marshal
Oyama had 275,000 regular soldiers.
Since then it is believed that he has
been reinforced by $4,000 reserves. BY
the fall of Port Arthur it is said that
100000 men under General Nogi were
released, and that after detaching 30
600 for garrison purposes, 10000 were
sent to Oyama. This would give the
Japanese commander 420,VuO men,
without making allowance for death,
wounds or disease. Obviously, such
an allowance should be made, but
there has been no such mortality
among the Japanese during inaction
as among the Russians, and it would
be safe to put the Japanese fighting
strength at from $4,000 to 80, 900
greater than that of the Russians dur
ing the last terrific conflict.

Cost Uncle Sam Millions.

Judge Wheeler, in the United States
circuit court has handed down an opin-
ion, which, if finally sustained, will
cost the United States government So
100000. This money, the government
will have to refund to the American
Sugar Refining company for duties
paid on raw sugar imported from
Cuba in 1903 and upon which the com
pany contended that reduction OF 20
per cent should have been allowed un-
der the then existing treaty. The
United States will appeal the case.

LOST $4,000 men

st. Petersburg, March 15.-Russia' s
grand army" with the exception of
the thousands killed or taken prisoner
| on the plains and mountains around
Mukden is gathering slowly behind
the Notifications of Tie pass, which
were built refuge before the battle
of Liaoyang, and is feverishly engaged
IN the work of recognizing and fur
therlng strengthening its lines. Ac-
cordlng to the general staff, the main
body has already completed it retreat
and the rear guard souhward is falling
back slowly, keeping in touch with the
pursuing columns of Japanese. In
the complete absence of further il
formation it is difficult to say whether
the pursuit has slackened or is being
conducted by only a portion of the
Japanese, and military officials here
hope that as far the battle of Lao
yang. Field Marshal Oyhama has paus-
cd to give his weary troops a momen-
tary breathing spell, while extending
his railroad and other lines of supply
TO his new position and preparing for
the next blow.
! To the Russian army every minute
is now valuable and the footsore and
disheartened detachments have been
scarcely an hours rest before being set
to work with spade and pick, improv-
ing the defenses of the pass. 1t may
be, however, that even now they are
being turned out of their positions.
Rumors are current that wide east
ward tlanKing movement, which was
belgium before the battle, is still in pro-
gress, and on the other side it is feared
that columns are moving north of Fa-
Roman to take position in the Russian
rear.
AS to the losses, General Kuropatkin
now admits that 80, 900 wounded were
carried off the field. This, with the
20, 500 dead left ON the field, the 49,
900 prisoners and the wounded left in
the hospitals, comes somewhat nearer
the latest japanese estimate that the
total Russi An losses were 1876, 900. At
this rate, Kuropatkin can not have
more than 1907 900 effective fighting
men with him. The army of General
Linevitch seems to have made the best
retreat, but this no doubt was due to
the stubborn fight made by General
Rennenkampf on his extreme left and
the equally fierce resistance of General
Kualbars on the right, the latter gen.
eral losing $4,000 men. Neither OF
the army of Kaulbars nor of Rennen
kampff has yet been accounted for il
the dispatches. After his deffea
around the western tombs, Kaulbars
finding his retreat directly northwarC
cut off, made detour to the eastward
where he was still fighting at last &C
counts. Rennenkamptf must also still
be in the hills to the eastward.
General KuropatKin still holds com
mand. An officer of the general af
said today that he probably will not re-
! tire until some semblance of order has
been restored. The question of his suc-
cessor is still undetermined.

NEW SPRING SUSPENSION
FOR AUTOMOBILES.

Louis A. Hi, of Washington. d. c.,
is the inventor of a spring suspension
system for automobile frames where
by there Is supposed to be a greater
ability of the springs to absorb the
vibration and varying thrust from
both the motor and the road The con-
struction consists Of four semi-ellipti-
cal springs placed upon the axles in
the usual manner. with their outer
ends hinged TO the ordinary frame
extensions. The inner ends of the semi.
elliptical springs, however, are
shackled to the ends of side springs,
fastened at their centers to the side
members of the running gear frame
1t Is claimed that in effect the rear
halves of the rear springs and the
front halves of the front springs are
comparatively rigid, while the spring
portions between the axles are ex-
tremely flexible. The inventor claims
that the system adapts itself to cars
of all weights and wheel bases, and
that as the wheel base increases the
compensating spring between the end
springs is naturally increased In the
correct proportion.

silos-Now 1. tho Time to Euild.

This is q most favorable season for
the building Of silos upon the farm,
and it should be done wherever a con-
siderable amount Of stock Is carried or
green crops raised. Nothing has ever
been invented that is so useful for the
saving Of green food for the feeding OF
stock as the silo. In fact, the means
of preserving ensilage is of the greatest
practical interest to every farmer,
stock breeder and dairyman In the
country, and is of commanding impor.
tance to the agricultural world. This
process of preserving vegetation Is far
more economical than the saving or
hay or the growing Of corn. The silo
furnishes the means Of laying by an
abundance Of forage for season OF
drought. More cattle can be support
eded from a given acreage Of land Dy
the use of ensllage than in any other
way, and the quantity Of manure can
be proportionately increased. The
word ensilage originally meant the act
of COMPRISING into pits, trenches or
compartments, which are called silos.
It now means the materials COM
pressed. These silos may be built
above ground or in part below and In
part above the ground. In the South
ern States it is the custom to build
them wholly above ground.-Southern

Winter Oats.

The summer seasons are fraught>
with uncertainties till farmers are lo0k-
ing more and more to winter crops and
the summer crops requiring but short
growing season.
This leads to the planting of early
maturing varieties of cotton, corn and
cowpeas and other staple crops. Whe2 I
these have been planted here this yeaf
a fair crop has already been made.
Oats are becoming one of the leading
feed crops-one Of the most profitable
in Georgia, for after oats a good crop
of cowpea hay can be made or crop
of late cotton. By growing oats a cover
crop is kept on the land all winter, pre-
venting washing and destruction by
rains, and if eowpeas are grown the
land undergoes a continual process OF
Improvement. Numerous experiments
have been made with different methods
of planting, and it seems as If we are
to see a general idea prevailing that
the ridge drill method is best. 1t Is
argued that it prevents winter killing.
But all that is necessary to secure q
good stand throughout the winter is
to prepare the land thoroughly, put the
oats in the ground early enough and
you will succeed nine years in ten, and
If you want any more success than
that try something else besides farms
ing. - Rhea Hayne, of Georgia, In
