Church Music in Russia.
N the Philadelphia Record.

From the Philadelphia Record.
Since 1 came home from Russia a year
ago it makes me feel quite like a roue to
go to church and listen to the warnings
of frisky sopranos and contraltos,' con-
fessed a man who passed over a year in
the land of the great white car.
II was privileged to go to many Of the
most famous cathedrals in all Russia,
country which countenances no instrument
of wood or brass, nothing except the hui
man voice. The music is of the most spir-
itual, sort that is closely allied to prayer.
ranging from angelic sweetness and deli
cacy to terrifying grandeur. 1t fairly
sweeps you off your feet. The church choirs
are composed of men and boys only, the
female voice being banished as too enticing
and suggestive of the snareS of the world"

after FISHING tugs
CANADIAN BOAT SENDS A few
SHOTS AFTER YANKEES.
The Fourth Incident of Poachinu on
Lake Erie During the Past Week
American Boat Was About 5 Miles
Over the Line When Canadian Boat
Appeared, but Made Its Escape.

Erie, Pa, Sept 1S-The fourth of
the fish tug incidents of the past week
took place in the middle of Lake Erie
Sunday, when the Canadian cruiser
Vigilant riddled the big steamer tug
Harry G. Barnhurst with small shot
from the rifle on the patrol boat. Cap
tain Nick Easel of the tug admitted,
after he escaped, that the Vigilant
could have sent her to the bottom if
Captain Dunno had so desired They
ran more than eight miles under full
head of steam before they crossed the
boundary line and escaped from the
| Canadians.
More than 80 shots struck the YES
| sci and of these Is of the small shells
landed with telling effect on the upper
parts the boat careened to one side
with the mass of wreckage when she
came into port. Having been used
formerly for a pleasure steamer, the
Barnhurst is of large size and well
fitted with steam equipment. The fire
man, Magnus Johnson, tainted in the
hold from overeXertion in keeping the
steam going ahead. He was reported
killed, but survived after reaching
shore. Two of the fishermen were cut
in the face by splinters shot away by
the bullets.
The Barnhurst, according to Captain
Easel, was about five miles over the
line, drawing nets. when the Vigilance
appeared. The other Lake Erie tugs.
the Alma, Valiant and the BOYD, were
closer to the line and ran away when
the chase started. Captain Dunno or
dered the Barnhurst to stop, but in
stead of doing SO, Captain Easel put
on full steam and started for the line,
He took a southwesterly direction and
could not be headed by the Nigilant.
After the first two rounds from the
Vigilant the Americans say they heard
shouts of Kill them" Sink the Yam
KEGS" coming from the Canadian
cruiser. Captain Easel says he was
aware he was close to the line, but
claims he could not have been more
than four or five miles in Canadian wa.
ters when the cruiser Vigilant sudden
ly appeared.
This makes the fourth American
vessel fired upon within a week by the
Vigilant.
All the vessels had been poaching
according to the claims of the Cana
dams, and had been caught hauling
in fish.

Cultivation of Corn.

In considering this operation in corn
raising, 1t should be borne In mind that
the object of cultivation Is to keep the
soil in the most desirable physical con-
dition by controlling, as far as possible,
the amount of moisture and air In II
and to destroy the weeds that hinder
the growth of the corn In various ways,
The yields of this crop depend much
upon the skilfulness and thoroughness
with which this operation Is per-
formed.
The best method to follow in .Ae
cultivation of corn crop will de-
pend upon the character of the soil;
the way in which the seed bed has
been prepared; the weather conditions
during the season; the number and
kinds of weeds the soil is infested
with, and the stage Of their develop
ment at the time the corn is cultivat-
ed; the age Of the corn plant when
any particular method is to be used,
and the conditions that follow any
cultivation. The fundamental truth
is, in order to obtain the best results
In cultivatlng corn, the method must
be varied to meet the conditions named
above.

Cool Fruit When Shipped.

Fruit should not be picked on
warm day and put Immediately into
cold storage or into cars for shipment.
1t should be put into some place where
1t will have II chance to cool Off and
permit the latent heat to work out.
Putting fruit into close cars where no
refrigeration Is provided is a fruitful
source of trouble in the shipping of
fruit. The heat in the fruit causes
rapid spelling, especially with fruit
that Is of short keeping quality, like
some of the apples that ripen in the
summer. II the nights are cool, fruit
can be cooled Off by simply leaving 1t
over night exposed to the air, but not
to the dew. In other cases cellars are
found deep enough to have a tempera-
turc of under GO degrees These can
be used In such cases. In some parts
of the territory over which this paper
clrculates storage pits have been dug
into the side hills and these may be
used as storage places.

Some Tasks for Rainy Days.

Rainy day jobs for the farmer and

active man who Is watchful for loose
plank, leaning post, a broken hinge,
a fallen panel Of fence, who Is found
grinding axes, sharpening hoes, cutting
weeds, grubbing out bushes, mending
and cleaning harness, grinding the
sickles, putting new handles in the
place of broken ones, tightening nuts,
replacing old, WORKOUT bolts, seeing
that the hay rigging is In order, hunt
ing out the torn grain bags, etc. In I'M
favorable weather for field work.
Don't grumble at the rain; there Is
plenty to do The active man has his
planter ready, the tools are all in shape
to use at moments notice. This ac-
tive man doesn't wait upon the wealth
