Although it will probably be early

will be complete, there will be no let up
in the effort to complete it at the earliest
date possible.
The attention of our farmers is again
called to an article appearing in re.
cent issue of the Weekly American en-

This article contains complete and ex-
haustive report of the experiments in
the use of raw rock at the Agricultural
Experiment Station of Illinois, also a
strong and favorable comment by J. G,
Wharton, of Nashville, a chemist Of
high authority. A copy of this iesue

The steady rains this week have made
everything in phosphate circles look

The car famine, which has prevailed
for over month past. is not so bad at
present, the supply being more nearly
equal to the demand than at any time
since the first Of September. A great
amount of rock will be moved within
the next sixty days, provided the supply
OF cars keeps increasing. Everything
in sight in the way Of export rock is
sold, and it would be next to impossible
to purchase thousand tons for deliv
cry any time this year, and the price is
strong.

Not the Least Conspicuous Were the
Captured and Renamed Rus
sian BattIeships.

Toxic, Oct. 25.-The naval review
passed off without the slightest hitch.
1t was a most impressive sight, not,
however, on account of the class and
number of the ships, but as a conglom-
Grafton of fighting craft fresh from the
war and crowned with victories of un.
precedented magnitude.
Three hundred and eight warships,
including the former Russian battle
ships Peresviet (renamed by the Jap

captured vessels, 20 torpedo boat de-
stroyers, including the captured Be-
dovi and Ryeshitelni, n torpedo boats
and five submarine boats were drawn
up in six lines.
Emperor Reviewed the Lines.
The emperor, on board the cruiser
Asama, led by the protected cruiser
Yaeyama and escorted by the gun
boats Tatsuta, Chihaya and Manshu,
passed along the front of the first line,
which was headed by the Dattleship
Shikishima, Admiral Togo's flagship.
When the Nicolai L., which was 1T
the end of the line was reached, the
cruiser Asama, headed due north and
then In a westerly direction, entering
between the second and third lines
and afterwards resumed her original
position. During this maneuver Ad-
miral Togo was at the emperor's side.
The emperor then received in au-
dience on board the Asama Admiral
Noel and the captains of the British
and American warships present, the
battleship Wisconsin AMI the cruiser
Cincinnati
Popular enthusiasm was aroused to
the highest pitch Besides the thou
sands who witnessed the naval pa
geant from all sorts of craft in the
bay, all the available points of vantage
llong the shore were densely covered
with eager spectators
The spectacle caused much joy and
