st. Petersburg is well defended from
the sea. Situated at the head of the
Finnish gulf. more than 200 miles
from the entrance to the gulf, it can
be protected by defenses on the main
land on either side.
Kronstadt. which lies within view of
the capital. has long since been aban-
doned as means of defense.
Across the very mouth of the Fin
nish gulf is the new line on which the
Russians rely to safeguard their CAPT.
tai from attack by sea- This is the
Revei-Sveaborg line. Revel is just
al ound the corner on the south and is
Russia's principal naval port on the
Baltic. Sveaborg is near Helsingfors,
the capital of Finland.
Islands Complete Line.
There are small islands between
these two points, which are used to
complete the line of defense. At no
point in this line is the distance be-
tween batteries more than 80 miles. It
will be difficult line to cross.
Almost at the very mouth of the Fin
nish gulf, little to the north. and ly-
ing between Finland and Sweden, are
the Islands of Aland.
Russia wished to obtain these islands
some years ago to complete her new
plan of defense. but has not been able
to do so.
1t was here that the naval encounter
took place in which the Russians
were driven back into the Gulf of Fin
land to their main line of defense. The
Germans now hold the position in the
t.sirndS, which furnish cover and pro-
lection TO them. Prom this position
they could land forces in Finland,
along the Gulf of Bothnia coast But
Finland is a difficult country through

Preparation of Corn for Fattenins
Steers.
BY H. o. Allison.

Does it pay to grind corn for fat
tening two-year-old steers? The
Missouri Experiment Station has
been investigating this question for
the last two years. While this in
vestigation is not yet completed
results obtained up to the present
time indicate that more rapid gains
in live weight and a quicker finish
may be expected by the use of
ground grain. Cattle also feed
more uniformly on ground than on
whole corn. There is no doubt but
that two-year-Old steers will much
more completely digest ground
grain and the finer it is >the more
completely it will be digested. I
The work at the Missouri College
of Agriculture shows clearly that
when ground corn is fed fewer hogs
are needed to follow the steers The
figures obtained indicate that from
II to % per cent of the value of the
ear corn fed to steers should be
charged to the hogs, while with
finely ground corn chop it will not
be more than 8 to 4 per cent. The
evidence concerning the total gain
in live weight on cattle and hogs
per bushel of corn fed is not yet

A word about pumpkin sauce, as
there is pumpkin sauce and pump

ference in the methods of preparing

out of kettle and squeeze through a
colander. Others steam pumpkin
and treat it likewise. By either
method the good of pumpkin is
lost in water. Try this method:
Prepare pumpkin in the ordinary
way. Put in kettle with small
quantity of water, cover and let
cook slowly for about two hours or
until thoroughly cooked. then mash
with a potato FOUNDER. Leave
cover off and continue cooking, TAX

The Age of a Horse.

The age ola horse can be told by
the skin of the cheek, by the ribs,
by the shrinking of the flesh of the
tail and by the teeth. In a young
horse the skin of the cheek is soft
and elastic and if raised up will i'm
mediately fly back in place. With
an old horse, however, the skin is
liteless and if it is raised up it will
60 back rather slowly. The ribs oil
an old horse are apparently farther
apart and the space between them
more distant than in a young horse
First the space between the last
two ribs becomes more distant
then between the next two, and sc
on. In an old horse the flesh of the
tail shrinks, making the joints more
distant. This change begins at tn,
end and works up year by veal
toward the body. These three meth
DDS are not accurate and merely
enable one to tell an old horse from
a young one. A skillful horsemar
can tell about as much regarding
the age of the horse by the genera
appearance as by any of these
methods.-Field and Farm,

that as the court had not postponed
the decision in the petition for cleo

it had not taken jurisdiction. The

used by the court did not affect the
jurisdiction, and also held that one

Cooperation in Maple Sugar

Secretary of State Guy w. Bailey is
about to begin campaign for marketing
Vermont maple sugar that promises much
benefit for Vermont producers. 1t will
not be an attempt to market in bulk hu,
an attempt to open market direct will
consumers of maple sugar as "a luxury.
The plan will be closely followed out to
find that a satisfactory article has been
delivered to the consumers and an at
tempt made to get an improved market
for the best grades of maple sugar.
This of course will mean the delivery
of maple sugar in small packages and is
likely to necessitate an increase in the
work of preparing the shipments that
many farmers are not in position to per-
form with the present limited amount of
help. If that be true it may be good
plan for the manufacturers of high grade
maple sugar TO combine in the employ
ment of an individual to take their pro-
duct in the form of syrup, sugar it off"
in bulk and pack it in the form desired
by the customers. Probably this work
will be done at present by the Vermnrt
Maple Sugar Makers association but II d
good market is established there is no
reason why the farmers of any loo atty
above and perform the work and receive
the increased compensation for it.
This of course means q Standardization
of maple sugar and cooperative effort
on the part of the farmers in producing
and marketing their product. 1t may be
too rosy view but we believe if this
work is successfully undertaken the Yer
mont maple will soon possess greater
value as ''sap tree" than as lumber
