BERLIN CELEBRATES
VICTORY OVER RUSS
City Is Decorated and Crowds
Fill the Streets.
FRONT In GALICIA CRUSHED
Cars Army Reported to Have Been
Driven Over the Dunajec River
and Eight Thousand Pris-
oners Captured.

Berlin, May 5.-The Austro-German
armies operating against the Russians
in western Galicia have won great
victory, it is announced in an official
statement from the war office.
According to the announcement
the AustroG German forces, after bitter
fighting, pierced and everywhere
crushed the entire Russian front in
western Galicia from the neighbor-
hood of the Hungarian frontier to the
point where the Dunajec river flows
into the Vistula.
The Russians are officially reported
to be in retreat, leaving behind enor-
nous quantities of booty, which have
fallen into the hands of the Germans
and Austrians. At Mitau the Rus
SLAMS lost LOO prisoners.
The official statement of the Ger
man war Office that the Germans have
broken through the Russian front in
western Galicia, capturing the Rus
slams across the Dunajec, has caused
a great outburst of jubilation in Ber-
crowds fill the streets.
The German official statement fol-
lows:
During their pursuit of the Rus
SLAMS who were fleeing in the direc-
ton of Riga, German soldiers yester-
day captured four cannon and four
machine guns. South of Mitau we
took LOO prisoners, increasing the
total number to 5000 more.
Attacks of the Russians southeast
of Kalwyria failed with heavy losses
to the enemy. The Russians were
driven across the Skesupa, leaving $50
prisoners in our hands.
Northeast of Skierniewice the Rus
slams sustained a hecv Wy defeat and
lost a great number in killed as well
as 100 prisoners.
In the southeastern theater of war
(Galicia) in the presence of Archduke
Frederick, soldiers under command OF
General Won Mackensen of the Ger
man army, after bitter fighting,
pierced and everywhere crushed the
entire western front in western Ga
licia, from the neighborhood of the
Hungarian frontier to the point where
the Dunajec river flows into the Wis
tula.
Such of the enemy as succeeded in
escaping made hasty retreat toward
the east, holly pursued by the Teu-
tonic allies. The trophies of this vic
tory cannot even be approximately
estimated att this time

VEGETABLES MUST
NOT BE CROWDED
Much Garden Stuff Ruined by
Not Being Trimmed Out
Much Nerve Required.

Do not be afraid to thin out your
plants-they must not be crowded.
Probably more garden stuff has been
ruined for want of being thinned at
the proper time than by any other
cause.
However that may be, one of the
most puzzling things for the beginner
is to find out whether any particular
vegetable should be thinned or trans.
planted, and how far apart the plants
should stand afterward.
He will get some help from the cata-
logues as to the distances, but whether
he should transplant or thin is the
Kind of thing that is not in the book.
1t requires great deal of nerve to
pull up and destroy the unnecessary
Seeding nerve than the anna
teur possesses. They say that per-
son never becomes a good gardener
until he steels his nerve to this ruth
less sacrifice
A vegetable must have plenty os
room to develop it's best size and fla
vor, and no one can take pride in small
or commonplace vegetables. True it
is that "the worst weed in corn is
corn"

SCARECROW THAT
WILL SCARE CROWS
Ordinary Device, in Most Cases,
Does Not Serve Purpose
New Idea Is Suggested.
(By r. A. GALLIHER.)

The ordinary ScarecroW, consisting
of pair of old trousers, coat and hat,
which adorns so many cornields aft
er planting time, does not, in most
cases, serve the desired purpose; but
is regarded by Mr.. Crow as a notice
which plainly says: Here's a place
to get your free LUNCH" and he gets
it, too.
But there is such a thing as making
a scarecrow that will scare, and here
is the way to do it.
Take box about fifteen inches long
by ten inches square. Place this box
near the cornfield fence, having one
end of the box open, and hens
nest" in the other end, in which put
two or three fresh eggs.
In the open end of the box set a
small steel trap, covering it with fine
egg about two feet from the box, in
such a position that when Mr. Grow
is in the act of getting this egg he cap
easily see the ones in the nest.
The second trip he makes for eggs
is generally the last one. Now you
can catch one crow in this manner, but
one is sufficient; for he will at once
get busy giving out danger signals
that will be needed by all other crows
for miles around.
Don't be in hurry about releasing
him, for the longer he is in the trap
the better opportunity he has Of cir
culating the news of his imprison-
ment
Unless his legs are broken or he is
otherwise injured, it is best to let him
30, and not kill him.
No danger of this one coming back,
and the whole crow family will steer
clear of that cornfield all season.

It will not do to simply smooth over
the top of the soil. 1t should be thor
oughly pulverized to the depth OF elght
to twelve inches. To do this requlret
a considerable amount Of spading and
raking.
When the soil is in the condition
of the finest portion of your garden,
then plant your seed in rows 80 inches
apart, one seed in place, and cover
lightly.
Then it is necessary to keep the
surface of the soil very fine all through
the growing season in order to keep
the moisture from evaporating.
Do not wait until the weeds grow
higher than the corn before attacking
them. Use the rake as soon as they
make their first appearance and then
keep after them with rake and hoe
and hands until the corn natures.
If this practice is carefully followed,
one may be agreeably surprised in the
Improvement of his crop, even from
seed that has hitherto proved disap-
pointing.

Most people buy any kind of sweet
corn seed that comes handy, put it
into the ground indifferently, hoe it
occasionally and ''let it go at that"
The result of this sort of planting
and cultivation is naturally not the
best. There are many varieties of
sweet corn seed to select from, and
the best for ones own garden can best
be told by observing the results of
other gardens.
There is great nstrife among seed
dealers to produce the earliest va
rieties, but this development is re-
sulting in a great deal of early seed
that is subject to smut.
There are some varieties which will
produce ripe corn In So days, but as
a rule, two months is as early as one
should expect corn from the time of
planting.
Next to the seed the preparation Of
the ground is, Of the greatest import
ance. The ground should be plowed
deeply and should have had a coat Of
well rotted manure the previous fall

Rome, May 5.-Direct information
from the German embassy on Monday
confirms the report that negotiations
between Austria and Italy have been
broken off. The excitement in the
city is growing.
Premier Salandra suddenly and un-
expectedly called meeting of the cab
met. 1t was announced that, owing
to the international situation" the
king and his ministers would not at
tend the Quarto celebration
The gravest Interpretation is placed
upon this abandonment of the trip to
Quarto, where the king had prom
ised to be present at the unwilling
of monument 70 Garibaldi and
where, it was expected, Premier
Salandra would make an important
speech. 1t is generally believed that

VESSEL IS ToWED TO PORT
Steamer Gulflight Attacked by Ger.
mans While on Way to Rouen-
Other Craft Sent to Bottom
by kaiser's Raiders.

London, May 4.-The American oil
steamer Gulfight was torpedoed in the
English channel on Saturday by Ger
man submarine. Her captain died OF
heart disease from the shock and two
members of her crew of 80 were
drowned
The Gulfiight, a 3,202-ton ship,
owned by the Gulf Refining company
of Texas, was bound from Port Arthur,
Tex, to Rouen with a cargo of naph-
tina when she was attacked off Bishop
lighthouse, in the Scilly islands
The vessel, although badly damaged,
stayed af1oat and was towed to shore
by steam drifters and beached. The
rescued members of the crew were
landed by patrol boat at Scilly.
The French steamer Europe also
was torpedoed by a submarine and
sunk off the Scilly islands. The sub
marine ordered the crew to take to
the boats and then fired several shells
into the steamer. The ship did not
sink from the effect of these. so the
submarine launched a torpedo which
sent her to the bottom.
The, crew of the Europe was picked
up by fishing smack and landed at
Newlyn Cornwall. The Europe was
bound from Barry to ST. Nazaire with
coal
The British steamer Fulgent was
sunk off Skelling Rocks, southwest OF
County Kerry, Ireland, in the dark
early Saturday morning, also by
German submarine The master was
shot and killed and his body taken
into one of the boats. Later the boat
was picked up by a trawler and its
occupants landed at Kilrush. 1t is
feared the remainder of the crew,
who occupied a second boat which
has not been found, has been lost.
The Greek steamer Fotis, from Gal
weston and Norfolk for Rotterdam,
has been taken into Blyth, England,
by British prize crew. 1t is alleged
that she carried a cargo of contraband
believed to be destined for Germany.
The Gulfiight is the fourth Ameri-
can steamer destroyed either by mines
or submarines in the sea war zone
since February Is and the fifth Ameri-
can vessel sunk in all, the William P.
Frye having been sunk in the South
Atlantic by the German raider Prinz
Eitel Friedrich.

GREAT BRITAIN PUTS BIG
TAX ON ALL LIQUORS
ing War Material-Passed by
Vote of SO to 5.

| London, May chancellor Lloyd
George on Thursday night submitted
the governments liquor program to
the house of commons and immediate
ly moved that it's most important pro-
vision, an increase of 1898 per proof
gallon in the duty on whisky, brandy
and gin, should be adopted at once
and put into effect Immediately.
1T is necessary to pass this resolu-
ton tonight" he explained, Gin or
der to prevent the withdrawal of spir-
it's from bond"
The house divided. 1t was the first
division since the beginning of the
war. Lloyd-George's victory, however,
was complete. The resolution was
carried by vote of SO to s.
The former duty on spirits was ten
shillings proof gallon. The bill adds
Is shillings and 9 pence a gallon,
more than doubling the tax. The
taxes on other alcoholic drinks are
increased in proportion.
The government is to control the
sale of all liquor in areas where war
material is produced and where ship
ping is carried on. The present pub
lie houses in these areas are to be re-
formed, or in many cases, put out of
business. Hours of sale will be re-
stricted and the use of nonintoxicat-
ing drinks encouraged.
Lloyd-George estimated that the
new duties on beer would produce
$8,000,000 of revenue and that the
duties on wines would produce $780,
900.

FERTILIZERS AND

HeavyhCIaysyHIIsides and Stony
Lahdpo9sS SHOULD pc Avoided
0ldtMuck LANDS Best.
Y III tGn1 EGG b
u(By eJ,tHoIGRAINGER.)


The1 best soil forb onions is rich,
well51rained loan. Heavy clays, hill
sides and stony land should be avoid
ed. ? Onion soil cannot be too rich.
Excellent crops are grown on deep,
rich, muck lands that have been un-
der cultivation for three or four years.
Such lands should contain fair mix
ture of sand. New, raw muck lands
give poor returns.
The ground for onions should have
been planted to some heavily MANFRED
hoed crop the preceding year and be
practically free from weed seed. 1t
is great mistake to grow onions on
weedy or rundown land.
The following which relates to grow
ing onions on a large scale also ap-
plies to garden growing.
A rather firm seed bed which re-
suits from fall blowing is desirable
and gives the best results. A second
crop of clover, heavily fortified with
barnyard manure and turned under
in the fall followed by potatoes the
next year, makes an excellent prep
aration for onions the Sc cond year.
A heavy top dressing of well rotted
barnyard manure or compost should
be applied in the spring, and well
worked into the soil. After this, a
complete commercial fertilizer an
alyzing 4 per cent nitrogen, 8 per cent
available phosphorus and 10 per cent
potash should be applied.
This fertilizer formula is very pop
ular with large onion growers, and it
should be put on broadcast and thick.
If the ground is in a high state of
cultivation the commercial fertilizer
may replace in part, the barnyard ma
nure. A top dressing Of ashes and
hen manure might also replace in part
the commercial fertilizers.
Very successful growers use them all
and in addition nitrate of soda applied
broadcast in three or four applications
during the growing season.
Wood ashes constitute one of the
best forms of potash fertilizers and
should be carefully kept under shell
ter away from the rains.
It is well to bear in mind that 1t
costs just as much to seed and cult
vate a crop of onions that yields 300
bushels to the acre as it does to grow
a crop yielding 500 to 1000 bushels.
And further that the land once prop
erly prepared can be used for grow
ing onions year after year unless In
sects or diseases come in.

ROOSEVELT GAINS A POINT.
Communication Between Murphy and

Syracuse, N. Y, May 5.-Through
the testimony of Walter Arndt, for
merly a correspondent for a New
York city newspaper at Albany, the
Roosevelt forces succeeded in show
ing communication between William
Barnes and Charles F. Murphy about
legislation at Albany.
Murphy, according to Arndt's YER
sion of an interview with Barnes in
1909, had asked Republican help to
kill the direct primary bills.
1t was Roosevelts first evidence to
prove his assertion on which the libel
suit is based, that Barnes and Murphy
were political allies.
In that one instance" explained a
Roosevelt lawyer, Barnes may have
refused to aid Murphy, but we have
established the fact that they were in
communication"

Set some hens when setting the in

which to fill vacant places after test
ing. If you do not have these eggs,
then fill vacant place with cloth or
paper, as open spaces on the egg tray
make it a difficult matter to keep

leave the doors open when airing the
eggs; don't let the eggs chill while
airing. If the incubator room is cold
