LONDON, Feb. 26-"On to
Constantinople," is the slogan of
the British naval experts today
as result Of the official an
nouncement made by the admir-
atty late last night that the out
er forts of the Dardanelles had
been reduced by the Anglo
French fleet. They admit, how
ever, that the allied fleet still
faces most formidable task. In
the forts put out of action, are
two on the European side of the
Dardanelles and one on the
Asiatic side.
The rest Of the Dardanelles is lined
on both sides for a distance of about
forty miles by other forts and defen-
sive works. Mine fields have been
laid by the Turks all along the Dar-
danelles and in the sea of Marmora.
1t probably will take several months
for the French and British warships
to force the entire passage of the
Dardanelles.
The outer Dardanelles forts fell un-
der the concentrated fire of eight bat
tleships, five of them being British
and three French, all under command

the freight car can be loaded direct
from the farmers wagons, 1t is i'm

the car should be loaded without

charges. Wheat and oats should not
be loaded into the same car unless
it is absolutely necessary. Mixed

GETTING IN THE

| Washington. May 1.-THE depart
ment Of agriculture has sent out to
its agents throughout the south sug-
gestions for the proper handling OF
wheat and oats in this region. Where
it is expected that the entire crop
is to be fed on the farm and es-
! pec.ally in neighborhoods where
| tkreshng machines are not readily
available. it is recommended that
both the wheat and oats should be
either cut for hay or else tied into
medium sized bundles to be fed in
the straw
If intended for hay both wheat and
oats should be cut when the grain
varies from the milk" to the very
soft dough stage At this time the
stalks will be mostly green or just
beginning to show signs OF ripening
below. After cutting they should
be cured and handled exactly as any
of the common grass hays. Under
favorable conditions the hay will then
have bright green color If the
cutting is delayed, however, until the
grain is in the full dough stage the
, hay will be dry, hard, and bleached,
and the feeding value diminished.
If it is intended to feed the grain
in the straw the cutting should be
put off until the grain has reached
the hard dough stage and most Of
the stalks have taken on a yellow
color Under favorable weather con-
ditions the grain will cure sufficient
ly FOR storage purposes in six or
eight days if put mp in carefully made
round shocks of nine bundles each,
including one cap bundle Near the
coast. where frequent rains are to be
expected at this season, grain should
be put in small shocks, containing
only 6 bundles and left uncapped
so that it will dry out quickly after
a rain 1t is unnecessary to tear
down ana spread these small shocks
after rains as it sometimes is with
the larger ones. The bundles. Of
course. should be shocked immsdi-
arcly in order to avoid the possi-
h'ltty Of loss from bad weather
When the crop is grown not for
feeding purposes but for sale or for
seed the cutting should be post
pored still further until the grain has
passed the hard dough stage If it
is permitted to become dead ripe,
however. the quality is not so good
and the loss from shattering consid-
erable Where the self binder can
not be used the cutting may be done
a little earlier than otherwise. The
grain shocked in the manner already
mentioned. should be left in the field
until it is thoroughly cured and then
/ threshed without delay. If no thresh-
| ing machine is available at once the
grain should be either stacked or

Great preparations are being made
in Richmond for the reception and
entertainment of the thousands Of
veterans and visitors who are ex-
pected to attend the reunion. The
action of the railways in granting
flat one cent mile rate for reunion
week is calculated to vastly increase
the attendance. Reports from the
United Confederate Veterans camps
throughout the South have led the
Reunion Committee to prepare for the
entertainment of 10000 veterans,
while the Richmond hotels are get
ting ready to increase their accom-
modations.
The veterans are to be encamped

CURING AFFECTS
THE QUALITY AND
VALUE OF HAY
It Should be Cut at Early
Maturity
GREATEST FEEDING VALUE
Before it Gets Over r-Ripe-This
and Other Facts Not Gen.
orally Known to Florida Farm
ers.

The value of the hay crop de-
pends upon the quality of the hay
whether it is to be marketed or
fed. John M. Scott, vice-director
of the University of Florida Ex-
pertinent Station, is of the opin-
ion that farmers in general let
their hay get too ripe before it is
cut.
The greatest feeding value is to
be had at early maturity. The old
er the hay gets after that the more
crude fiber or mdigestible matter
it contains. Crab grass should be
cut for hay when it is in good
bloom. All the protein or muscle
building food has formed that will
form. The carbohydrates will in
crease and the protein will de-
crease relatively the longer the
grass stands after this stage. The
feeding value and the digestabili-
ty rapidly decline because the car
bohydrates which are added are
largely crude fiber.
Mr.. Scott further advises that
the grass should not be allowed to
lie in the field long enough to
bleach. 1t not only loses color
which is a market demand but it
loses food value. Do not let the
hay lie over night in the swath.
Cut in the morning, rake in the
afternoon or as soon as the hay
begins to rattle, and put in the
barn or stack the next day. Light
yields may be put up during the
same day they are cut.
The same instructions hold for
Natal grass. Cut beggar weed
when it is about one tenth in
bloom. If it gets too ripe it not
only gets woody but the leaves
shatter The leaves, like those of
alfalfa, are the most nutritious
part of the plant since there is rel
atively more protein and less fiber
than in other parts of the plant.
Beggarweed should not get too
dry before it is raked because the
leaves shatter readily. Rake into
windrows before it is cured e.
nough to put in the NOV. Do not
allow it to lie in the swath over
night because rain or dew will
discolor it.

GERMANS ARE
STEADILY FORCING
RUSSIANS BACK
Fall of Warsaw Only Matter of
Time
is AN ABSORBING TOPIC
With British Officials and Public
Victory for Teutons Regard
ed Apprehensively by Allies
The German Plan.

London, England-The magni-
tude Of the German enveloping
movement in the eastern field is
absorbing the attention of the
British officials and public. Lat
est reports show that General Won
Buelow's 10000 cavalry have
turned southwark from Riga and
are within eighty miles of the
railway connecting Petrograd
with Warsaw.
In this way the northern Ger
man line is closing in on the main
northern railway artery to the
Russian capital, while the south
ern army similarly is approaching
the main southern artery running
to Odessa.
The German advance continues
to be the most important develop
ment in the field of war. The
Russian resistance has brought
furious fighting along a wide
front. Latest reports indicate
that the German movement is
progressing.
A Russian official report admits
that the Germans are attacking
the advance defenses of Novoger-
orgievsk, fifteen miles northwest
OF Warsaw, but recites number
of instances in which the Ger
mans either have been repulsed or
have been unsuccessful in their
attacks. This is notable at Pull
tusk, thirty miles north of War
saw. AT Ivangorod, also, fifty
five miles southeast, attacks by
German troops have been success
fully repulsed.
A Petrograd official statement
says that the Germans have been
thrown back at one point of the
Narew river brings some relief to
London as the military observers
hold that the final results depend
largely upon Russia prolonging
her resistance until climatic con-
ditions in that country interpose
barrier to the full realization of
the German plan.
Petrograd announces the de-
struction in the Black sea Of forty
sailing vessels laden with coal for
Germany.
The casualties in the fighting
on the Italo-Austrian frontier
have lately been very heavy ac-
cording to dispatch received by
the Tribune Of Geneva. The Aus
trian losses would appear to be
heavier, according to this news
paper.
Reports from other military
fields with the exception of the
Italian frontier where the Italians
claim to have taken 1000 prison.
ers, show comparative inactivity.
