The Kaiser has been Saying things"
again. Swearing in naval recruits at
Wilhelmshaven he declared that tho
japanese are the 'scouTge of God, y
like Attila and Napoleon. He eau
toned his hearers not to draw the
conclusions from the japanese vic
tories that Buddha is superior to
Christ. He blamed the Russian de-
feats to the deplorable condition of
Russian religion. More recently ad-
dressing his officers after review, he
is reported to have said: The Rus
sian army that fought at Mukden had
become enervated by immortality and
drunkenness. As Russia has shown
weakness in the presence of the yell
low danger. circumstances may arise
which will place upon Germany the
task of opposing this danger. Unless
he. has been misquoted we have here
two brilliant additions to the Kaiser's

Moral Effect of The Victory.

Letter of Military Observer, in New
York Sun.
AS to the moral effect of this last
japanese victory ii will resound
throughout Asia and produce conse-
quences that will be felt by every
European Government ruling Asiatic
races. The intellectual and material
ascendency of the brown race in Asia,
already established, will become a
fixed political quantity on which the
yellow race and the others inhabiting
the mainland of Asia will lean in the
future, as their struggles for enamel
patton from the dominance Of the
white race develop, and the japanese
will not be able to refuse them the
support they will call for. 1t viii
be one of the conditions of their own
existence and development
The beginning of the struggle may
already be seen in the movement of
the Chinese as a people to institute
of obtaining the recognition of GER
tain demands. No country is in a
position to profit more readily by the
application of such a principle by the
Chinese than Japan, and no people
are in so good a condition to carry out
the principle as the Chinese, because
of their centuries-lon habit of organ
izing secretly and in masses for action
in a given direction. The successful
operation of such a boycott as that
spoken of in China would stimulate its
extension into other countries where
the social organization is favorable,
and would constitute an insurrection
both effective and impossible to put
down by military methods.
Such are some of the consequences
to be apprehended as a result of the
continued japanese success in the war,
and it is not easy to see how they can
be averted; while they do not in any
way afford grounds for Intervention to
arrest Japan's victorious progress, nor
what is more important, the enamel
patton of the Russian people.

The Egg Business.

It is admitted that eggs cost less,
and bring higher prices in market,
than any other commodity sold off the
farm. and there is, consequently, no
reason why one should not enlarge IN
the production of eggs as a special
business. 1t is true that a large num-
ber do not succeed, but it is not be-
cause the business is at fault, but lack
OF knowledge and experience. Enough
money must be put into the business
20 place it on sure foundation, and
the attention to details is essential, as
it is the minor matters, so often over
looked, that lead to increased cost anu
smaller production.
What we wish to impress upon read
ers is the fact that at this season.
though eggs may be cheaper than IN
the winter, they cost little or nothing
in the shape of food on the farm, and
there is also but little labor necessary.
The prices Of eggs may be low, but
if compared with other products OF the
farm and their cost, it will be found
that eggs are far in the lead.-Farmers

New Method With Potatoes.

I'm looking over the Farmer find an
exchange on potato culture telling OF
how to raise potatoes from little pota-
toes and planting them closely in the
row. Now there are always people
who are ready to hoot at any and
every new thing under the sun and
they hoot at this, but want to state
right here and now that here In Wal
dron we have one man who, instead OF
doubling, has gone to work to prove
the assertion made by potato raiser
of some years experience, and mas
planted small potatoes, planted them
whole and about three inches apart in
the row. or course the wiseacres
laughed and jeered at him, and pre-
dicted no potatoes, or, if any, very
small ones, but undaunted he went
ahead, narrowing, plowing, hoelng ana
pulling weeds (they were too close TO
hoe) and by the 26th of June could
show potatoes large enough for anyone
at digging time, and growing rapidly.
If anyone wishes any further informa-
ton concerning this much talked OF
potato patch I will just refer him to the
grower, who is none other than our
fellow townsman, Jerome Sparks, and
who 1 have no doubt will tell any and
all Just how he has managed this plant

like to know the result of the yield l

The Supply OF Ivory.

During a recent visit to the London
docks Her Majesty the Queen was in
formed that the stock Of ivory then
shown represented, on an average, the
annual slaughter of some 10000 Afri-
can elephants. This statement has
been contradicted in two letters in the
daily papers. In one Of these Messrs.
Hale, of No. 10 Fenchurch avenue,
state that at least eighty-five per cent.
of the supply is dead ivory" mainly
obtained from boarded stores Of Afri-
can chiefs, who are shrewd enough to
put their commodities on the market
only in driblets. The most interesting
part of the letter is. however, the
statement that the great bulk Of this
boarded ivory is obtained from "ele-
phant cemeteries" - spots met with
here and there in the jungle where ele-
plants have resorted for centuries to
die. Much Of the ivory that comes to
the market may. therefore, according
to this letter, be several hundred years
old. The marvel is why it is not de-
voured in the jungles by porcupines, as
certainly happens with tusks Of the In
dian elephant which are left in the jun

The Pigs In Glover.

Pigs should if possible be allowed
the run of a clover field or have access
to other leguminous plants. However,
should this be impossible let them have
the run of good pasturage. Give them
access to clear water at all times. and
swill and skim milk, and as far as
practical to feed them all they will eat.
Crowd them and sell when say eight
or nine months old. This is the most
profitable plan. When later you wish
to put them up so that they may not
run the fat off. it is always advisable
to give them. say, the run of a half
acre or SOB. P. W., in the Indiana

The First Astor and the Poet,

John Jacob Astor and his son rigidly
attended to business in the same office
a little one-story building in Prince
street, just east Of Broadway. Their
constant companion there was Fitz-
Creme Halleck-Marco Bozzaris Hal
leck. Halleck became clerk for Astor
in 1882 and worked seventeen years.
The employment, he himself said, was
not profitable but permanent" Astor
warned him when he began not to
talk to anyone of his wealth. The two
men became great friends. Halleck
spent months with his patron at his
country seat and became one Of the
trustees Of the Astor Library. The
poet frequently rallied the old man on
his wealth. "Why, Mr.. Astor," he
would say, "If I had 5000 year and
was sure of it I would be content"
The great landowner took him at his
word, and in his will, much to the
amusement of bohemian New York,
left Halleck an annuity of $2OO.-Bur-
