Paris, May 10.-A dispatch from
Saigon to the Petit Journal says:
"Nebogatoff's squadron appeared at
daybreak of May 8, 20 miles of Cape
st. James, preparing to ascend the
river to Saigon, where the commander
expected to find the necessary orders
for efecting a junction with ROjest-
vensky and revictualing his feet. He
was hailed at sea by a scout belong
ing to the Russian second Pacific
squadron, which communicated to him
Frances desire that the junction of
the Russian squadrons should occur
outside Of Indo-Chinese waters. Nebo-
gatoff then disappeared on the open
sea, sailing towards the second squad
ron, which doubtless is waiting off the
AMMAN coast.

Broken Neutrality Denied BY France.
London, May 9.-France has reiter-
Rted its assurances to England that
Rojestvensky had not and will not be
permitted to abuse French neutrality
In any way involving practical harm
70 Japan.
These assurances sound rather hol
low in Downing street, where it is ad
mitted that France appears already to
have given aid to the Russian squad
rons, without which Rojestvensky
probably could never have brought up
his armada in shape to make effective
attack on Togo's fleet
The situation could hardly be more
serious. Lord Lansdowne and his col
leagues in the cabinet are thoroughly
aroused. The japanese are excited and
are pressing the British government to
defend them against the Russo-French
coalition.
It is not thought that a general war
will result unless France should adopt
q recalcitrant instead of conciliatory
attitude. Lord Lansdowne will stand
a great deal in order to avoid a rupture
with France and the consequent de-
Btruction Of the diplomatic achieve
ments which underlie his growing
Fame. 1t is also believed that Delcasse
will exert himself to the utmost to pre-
vent such a catastrophe.
Intense bitterness prevails in Down
ing street and throughout naval and
military circles against Germany. The
kaiser is held responsible for existing
complications to a greater degree than |
even Russian advocates of a general |
war as a means of avoiding complete |
Russian humiliation.

His gallant but perfectly polite eye
fell upon Beatrice Venner. In the
dra wing room after dinner he inquired
If was fond Of music, and added,
as he always did, that he himself was
devoted to it, though he was no per-
former. Pulled up somewhat short by
Beatrice's frank confession that she
did not care for music in the least,
he added. with a reasonable desire to
please, that he himself knew that
there were other things, and that he
could get along very well without it.
The conversation passed to other
topics. That day, and the next day,
and the next, it was quite obvious to
Mrs. Pawling that Mr.. Yardley was
paving marked attention to the gov
erness.
There was no illegitimate secrecy
about the man. That evening in the
smoking room he explained porten-
tously to Mr.. Pawling his decision to
marry Mr.. Pawling's governess.
"Good heavens! you don't say SOP
said Mr.. Pawling. "Well," he added,
"she's a very good girl, and this will
be a rare bit Of luck for her,"
Beatrice Venner accepted the rare
bit Of luck with meekness and grau-
tude. It was true that she was not
in the least in love with Mr.. Yardley,
but she admired his income and his
other estimable qualities. Certainly,
foo she was not in love with anybody
else. She received many congratula-
lions. The letter from her sister Ellen
was of a somewhat sub-acid charac-
ter, implying that she did not expect
that they would see much of Beatrice
down at Brixton after this. She also

Rects as Cow Feed.

At the Iowa station is was found
that turnips iniure the flavor Of both
milk and butter. This injury is due
to volatile acids which can be driven
off by heating the milk to 100 degsees
for a short time. Beets increased the
milk and butter product and caused
all the cows, even Jerseys, to lay on
fat quite rapidly. When the roots
were discontinued butter fat decreas-
ed and the COWS ceased to gain weight,
and it took more pounds of feed (cal-
culated to dry matter) to produce a
pound of butter When turned on pas
ture there was immediate increase Of
milk, butter and live weight. Feeding
bran during part of the grazing period
produced sufficient gain to yield a
small profit.

Care of Horses, Feet.

If your blacksmith knows his bust
ness your horses will be properly
shod, but do not lay foot troubles OF
the horse at the door of the black
smith, for the chances are you are
at the bottom Of the trouble because
you will not keep the floor of the
stables clean and thus avoid thrush.
There is no reason why there should
not be a gutter behind the horses
such as are behind the cows, and
thus avoid to some extent the posi-
bility Of the horse standing in his eX-
crement. Then, keep close watch Of
the hoofs and see that they are cleaned
daily. With sticks dig out any sub
stances and then cleanse with a stiff
brush and finally wash with sponge,
using tepid water, in which a dozen
drops, or a teaspoonful, of carbolic
acid has been mixed. Try it, keep it
up and avoid thrush.

Fertilizers and Manure.

Farmers who have used fertilizers
and manure together claim that the
combination is superior to either alone,
and that acid phosphate is excellent as
an addition to the manure heap. The
mixture Of fertilizers and manure gives
the crop soluble plant food in the
early stages of growth and the manure
provides a supply later. Every farmer
values his manure, and will apply it
somewhere. hence the best mode Of
deriving the greatest benefit from it is
to increase its efficiency by adding
fertilizers in some form to the heap.

Giyc Plenty of Water.

1t is astonishing how many people
think animals do not particularly
need water. They give the horses and
dogs all they want and frequently,
the cows not so frequently, and the
rest Of the stock on the farm when
they think Of it. Frequently people
say that cats do not require water,
and yet those who have had expert
ence know that cats crave water-not
much at time, but several times a
day The lack of water has thrown
them into commissions If man needs
considerable water III order to he

mails should not need it. Water poul
try and other stock as regularly and
as carefully as they are fed. Take
swine as another example. Make it
a business to see that they have clean,
fresh water daily in clean vessel,
and you will see how readily they
drink it, and drinking it they must
need it and it must do them good.
