ALLIES MAKE DEMANDS.
Ask for Surrender of Scutar1, Janina
and Adrianople.

LONDON, March. Sir Edward
Grey, the British foreign secretary,
presided at meeting of the ambas-
sailors of the Powers to consider Tur-
keys application for mediation. Ac-
cordlng to semi-oficial statements
amanating from Sofia the allies will
not agree to mediation unless the
Porte consents to surrender Adrianople,
Scutari and Janina and pay an indem-
nifty. Italy is using all her influence
with the Balkan states to induce them
TO observe moderation in their de-
mands on Turkey and thus bring
about peace at an early date. Italian
ofhclais have pointed out to the Bal
kan administrations that such an atti-
tnde would strengthen the sympathy
OF Europe towards their cause A
despatch to the Times from Vienna
says that the rehabilitation of the
AUSTRIA Hungarian troops in Galacia
will begin tomorrow, and both Austria
and Russia will issue rehabilitation
DEGREES not later than Thursday. The
demobllzatlon, however, viii only be
partial.
According to these reports communi-
cation with Scutari has been reopened
and the garrison has been supplied with
arms and ammunition. On the other
hand the appointment of General Bow
ovitch, one of the Servian delegates
at the London conference, as com
mander of the forces besieging Seutari
IS considered an indication of the firm
determination of the Servians and
Montenegrins to take Scutari at anv
cost. Boyovitch is one of the most
daring of the Servian commanders. IT
was the force under him which cap
tured Monastir at the point of the
6ayonet. Fighting continues in the
Janlna districts, where the Greeks
claim small successes.A Corfu despatch
to the Daily Mail says that Greek
troops have been landed at Santi Quar-
anita under the protection of the Greek
warshlps. 1t is presumed that thew will
assist IN the attack on Janina. Uncon-
hrmed reports are published in Vienna
OF an Albanian rising against Servian
occupation of towns in Albanian terri
tory.

LIGHTING YARDS ADDS TO
THE BEAUTY OF SUBURBS
Illuminating Convenienees For the
Home Should Be Picturesque.

The use OF kerosene, gasoline, home
made electricity and acetylenc gas are
being carefully tested on many farms
and suburban estates, out Of reach OF
public service corporations, for supply
ing lights. The common use of gaso-
, line genera tors, which have now reach
ed high state Of perfection, has
brought them into prominence for out
door lighting, as well as providing bril-
liant lights for the house and for cook
ing purposes. Gasoline lamps for the
entrance gate posts, for lanterns set
permanently on stable walls and for
use within the stables and dairy barns
may be enjoyed at little cost when one
Of these practical gasoline gas gen.
orators has been established for illu-
minating the home and the grounds.
Without this plant for general use the
plainest types Of gasoline lamps. filed
and lighted the same as coal oil lamps,
may serve as the source Of dependa.
BILE lights for yards and stables.
Many practical and enterprising
farmers who are blessed with streams
on the home grounds that can be har-
messed for the development Of power
are experimenting with homemade
electricity with very satisfactory re-
suits. BY damming up the stream for
satisfactory water power an inexpen-
sive electrical plant may be thorough
ly practical wherever there is q stream
Of water Of sufficient size and fall to
turn q water wheel. One Of the most
interesting features In establishing
this form Of home illumination Is the
light will also provide power to run
various sorts Of farm machinery. In.
Guiding the feed mills, the wood saws.
corn shelters, etc.
The subject Of providing inexpensive
and picturesque lanterns for yards
and stables, however. need not depend
upon the installation of extensive
plants. or even the simplest Of appara-
tus for homemade gas and electricity.
The cheapest form OF steady burning
kerosene lamp, set within lantern OF
good type, and with good reflector,
Is within the reach Of every farm own
err and renter
A picturesque setting will cost no
more than lantern position carelessly
selected. An ugly post set close beside

garden leading 10 carriage sheds and
stables, will doubtless give Just as sat

ARRESTS ICE CREAM MEN

mony with the surroundings. whether
it be trees, shrubs or herbaceous 6Ow-
ers.
A flower fringed grass walk is al
ways a pleasant feature, but such a
walk must be laid with care. Unlike
gravel walks, which should have con-
cave surface, grass walks and steps
must be level. and this means perfect
drainage-a most important item, for
il badly drained a walk Of this kind
would be source of inconvenience aft
er heavy rains. On sloping ground ter
races are necessary. They require the
same care that one would devote to a
well kept lawn, but no more, once the
effect is secured.
There are few steps Of this kind In
America, but they abound In English
gardens. There is no reason why they
would not remain green throughout
the entire year In some sections Of this
country, and they can be easily substi-
tuted for the unsightly stone steps or
ragged dirt steps which are common.

Uses of Lime.

Lime is seldom II ever applied to
soils by reason Of its value as direct
fertilizer. It's chief value lies in its
unlocking, unavailable nitrogen, phos-
phoric acid and potash. We usually
apply it to gardens in one of three
forms-yiz, Quicklime, gypsum or land
plaster and wood ashes. We would
not advise applying it in any form to
soil for lawn purposes. Better far to
use 1t on the grass when 1t shows need
Of food. 1t is very beneficial to Ken
lucky blue grass.
