A Valley of Death.

The valley in front of the Russian
position has become a valley of death.
Corrses strew the debatable ground
from which neither side can remove
it's dead.
Again and again the Japanese
charged down the slope and up the
hill. Again and again the Russians
counter-attacked, trying to gain pos
session of "the hill with the tower"
No quarter was asked for or given
by either side. The enmity ceased only
in death. Here sits a Japanese upon
a stone, a moments pause for rest
having stretched him out into eter-
nifty. There lie two foes with bayonets
sheathed in each others breasts.
Everywhere Corpses.
Everywhere corpseS - corpses -

had been concentrating a heavy ar,
tillery fire on "the hill with the tow

yesterday the Russian skirmishers
heard a noise on "the hill with the
tower.' Creeping forward they dis
covered that the Japanese were heap
ing up corpses as defense. The Rus
sian field batteries Immediately opened
fire and forced a cessation of the work.
Japanese Driven Back.
At dawn yesterday the Japanese at
tackled the Russian positions near
Oubenepusa. The attackers were
scarcely recognizable as valiant Jap
anese, SO mechanically did they move
forward, and with undying persistence
attack, only to be driven back. They
repeated this at ten in the morning,
after a preparatory artillery lombard
ment, and reached the Russian
trenches, where a bayonet fight en-
sued. At the crucial moment
Gen. Alieff, commanding the van
guard, arrived on the scene with two
companies and turned the scale against
the Japanese. Among the wounded was
Lleut.-Col. Hrostitsky of the general
staff, who nevertheless remained at
the front.

man and farmer of Hebbronville,
who arrived in Brownsville Satur-
day evening in quest of horses and
mules. Mr.. McCampbell says he
did not plant any cotton this year,
as the price scared him off. Six
cents was the ruling price at plant
ing time and the gentleman could
not see where his profit came in at
that figure. Mr.. McCampbell says
everything is in fine shape in his
section, and he wants horses and
mules, believing from experience
there is more money in them thar
growing cotton for the other fellow
at six cents a pound.
Notice having been received by
Chief Immigration Inspector Frank
w. Boss that a Chinaman was at
Harrington, who was suspected of
trying TO evade the immigration
law, Assistant Inspector Morris
went up this morning and brought
the almond-eyed celestial TO
Brownsville on the IL O'Clock train.
An examination disclosed the fact
that Chan Sing, for that was his
name, had a certificate emitting
him to admission into the Unit
ed States, and he had been in
this country some time. Chan was
allowed to go his way and was
doubtless the happiest Chinaman in
town. He was the only one here.

IN GARDEN AND ORCHARD.

The knife and saw still remain the
principal remedies against the blight.
We have not yet found remedy that
may be applied to and cure sick limbs
and twigs.
When blighted portions are cut from
twigs of trees they should be at
once burned The dead wood really
contains no live blight spores, but the
point where the living tree comes in
contact with the dead part may.
The pecan crop is estimated at over
10000, 900 pounds short by the Dried
Fruit and Nut company, at st. Louis.
The estimate is claimed to be made
on careful investigation. or course, a
shortage of this extent would indicate
much higher prices.
The time for starting the hotbed will
soon be here. The market gardener
has his mind on it now. Every home
garden should have hotbed and a
cold frame, or some other means for
starting early plants, unless they can be
purchased near at hand.
There can be no question but that the
sulphur, lime and salt solution is a
very efficient fungicide. It surpasses
anything I know of for cleaning up the
trunks Of trees and 1t has very marked
effect upon the freedom from scab OF
both fruit and foliage.

GOOD ROADS.
They Need Not Necessarily Be Con-
structed Of Stone-A Pres
ent Danger.

While good roads are of the utmost
Importance to the farmers themselves,
good roads do not necessarily spell
hard roads, as many hard roads advo-
Gates seem to imagine, says the Prai-
rie Farmer. A movement to better our
highways does not necessarily mean
that they are all to be surfaced with
stone, but there are indications that q
strict watch will be necessary to pre-
vent legislative bodies from putting
such a construction on the movement
when enacting laws in regard thereto.
Many of our roads can be greatly
improved over their present condition
by undertakings and better grading.
These are the first essentials where a
hard surface is finally to be provided.
Proper underdrainage Is of the most
vital Importance during a rainy sea-
son. No road can remain good at such
times without 1t. In many cases the
work of grading up that is done during
the summer is very largely, and some
times entirely, annulled during the fol-
loing spring months because OF a lack
of undertakings. Roads often be-
come impossible during the spring
months that would remain IN fairly
good condition II proper drainage were
provided.
We can see no objection to federal
aid for road improvement along these
lines. or why 1t is not just as proper and
important for the government to give
assistance in rendering an impossible
road passable and in rendering an al.
ready fairly good road superfine.

WONDERS OF SINGLE ACRE
What May Be Produced on a Bit Of
Land Containing 100
Square Rods.

You who think that It must be SO
acres or nothing. will be surprised to
know that unless you are farming for
the markets and need pasture and sta
bles and grass land, you can almost
live on the crop that an acre will yield
you, writes Charles M. Skinner in Good
Housekeeping. 1t will require work
and care and knowledge, for you can
not spend your time at tennis and ex-
pect the weeds to stay out of your let
tuce, or the smut to affect your neigh
boris corn and not yours, or the cater
pillars to keep of from your pea vines,
or things to stay green after a month
Of drouth. Now here, on this common
acre-for 1t is ordinary, being near the
sea and hummocked with rock, the
lodges cropping into sight just outside
the fence-the farmer raises no end
of beans, peas, onions and like mat
ters, and Strawberries to eat, to give
away and to sell. He has patriarchal
apple trees that yield bushels Of fruit.
His tomatoes supply his own family.
various friends rejoice In them no
less, while few pecks Of them go to
town. His wife puts up 80 many fruits
and vegetables in jars that she has to
give them to relatives, and she seldom
visits her son in the city without car
rying q basket Of fruit to him. There
are bits Of lawn and beds of posies and
curtains Of vine and--what do you sup
pose? After the acre has been worked
to this degree, there is room for chick
ems at least hundred of them, with
their runway extending the length OF
the place.
