RUSSIANS ARE PROGRESSING
STEADILY IN CARPATH|ANS
Overcoming Desperate Resistance x Calm on
Western ont-Submarine Raids

London, April 5, 1850 P. M.-The at
tention of the public for the time be-
ing is directed toward the great strug-
gle for the Carpathian passes, where
the Russians apparently are making
very steady progress despite the OBJ
stinate resistance offered by the Aus
trian and German troops
The Russians are on the Hungarian
side of both the Dukla and Lupkow
passes and with the aid Of continual
reinforcements are gaining the heights
which dominate Uzsok pass. Even the
Austrian official reports which admits
that fighting is now taking place in
the Laborcza valley, which is south
Of Lupkow pass, while the Russians
tonight announce the capture Of Cisna,
an important station on the high
mountains between Lupkow and Uzsok
passes, where they captured a great
stock of war munitions and provis-
ions.
Advance on Parfeldt
The Russians also are advancing
from Dukla passes on Parfeldt, which
is at the head Of the line of railway
running south into Hungary, and night
ing not far from MeZolaboreZ, another
important railroad head. On Saturday
and Sunday they captured in the Car
pathians more than 5000 prisoners.
They also claim another success in
Bukowina and the capture Of another
thousand prisoners, while the Aus
TRANS also assert that they repulsed
a Russian force which attempted to
cross the Dniester river. The Rus
slams also are making progress in
northern Poland, German official
report telling Of the repulse Of Rus
sian attack on Mariampol, which is
considerably west Of the region which
a few days ago was in the possession
Of the Germans.
So far as the Western front is con-
cerned, comparative calm continues, the
French having little to report. while the
Germans announce the repulse Of French
attacks in the Woevre and Argonne re-
gions and OF a Belgian attempt to recov-
er ground which they recently lost in
Flanders.

Mr.. Malone admitted however, that
he had evidence to show there was a
regular supply base for the cruisers in

which the foodstuffs are taken to va
riouS piers, then loaded on lighters and
sent 10 sea where they meet British
cruisers outside the three mile limit.
information Obtained
Besides Mr.. Malone's individual
work, George F. Lamb, head of the
neutrality squad here and several Sc
cret Service operatives, have been in
vstigating for the customs authorities,
it was stated. and have obtained much
information. One method of the search
for evidence was to place a Secret
Service man at the Atlantic Highland
light near the entrance to the outer
harbor. from which point he scanned
the horizon TO see what tugs or lars-
er vessels might bring supplies to the
British warships. Much evidence, it
was said, was obtained in this way.
While these observations have been
in progress, attention has been paid
to the loading Of ships that might take
food to the belligerent cruisers hover
ing about the coast line In this work
the torpedo craft Parker, Drayton and
McDougall and other government YES
sells have been seeking out the hooks
and corners along the coast nearby

activity might be in progress. Mr.. Ma
lone said he hoped to have two more
torpedo craft here in a few days to
assist in the Investigation.
Conspiracy Indicated
What has been developed so far, COL
lecror Malone said indicated what an
peared TO be conspiracy to violate the
neutrality proclamation of the President
by the esta blishment of an extensive or
ganization and central agency to carry
on a traffic in supplies for the British
cruisers. He declared that there were
evidences that negotiations had been
opened by the agents of some organiza-
ton with headquarters 10 a hotel. with
many captains and owners of tugboats
in New York, Philadelphia and New
England for the services of these cap

were engaged to be placed on tugs and

these recent developments are blamed
upon German intrigue.
The Carpathian front is the quarter
in which a decision Of first importance
is expected soon. London seems to be

through into Hungary. but this has
been predicted many times before

 FR0M PEANUT CROP
VARIETY TYPES OF PALATABLE FORAGE PLANT ADAPTED TO COILS OF ARkANSAS-HOW TO PLANT.

The peanut grows best on well drained, loose, sandy loam soils of medium fertility, whick should be prepared thoroughly, this will make less work in caring for the growing crop
 When barnyard manure is used as fertilizer it should be applied to the preceding crop that the peanuts may get the resultant effect Com mercial fertilizer may be applied in the bed of the row just previous to the planting of the crop. Apply 200 to 800 pounds of commercial fertilizer containing two per cent of nitrogen, per cent of phosphoric acid and 4 to per cent of potash. The per cent of nitrogen should be increased if a previous green manure crop has not should receive an application Of 800 to 600 pounds of lime to encourage proper ripening of the fruit.
 Variety Types.
 There are two general variety typgs of peanuts; those with large pods the Virginia Runner and the Virginia Bunch type and those with small pods, Spanish and Tennessee Red type. The Virginia type is used chiefly for roast ing purposes; the other are recOm- mended for oil content and as forage The Spanish is the commercial va riety for Arkansas.
 Only the very best of the crop Ah I< I In a special patch. An ideal plant should produce a large number of pods we'll filled with seed, uniform in size, shape and color. The large pod varieties of peanuts are always shelled before planting, care being used not to break the seed covering. Spanish peanuts may be planted with or with out the pod. To hasten germination, soak the pods a few hours just pre- vious to planting. Plant in rows ? to 2x feet apart, with the plants to 12 inches apart in row, depending upon the variety.
 Marking Off Field.
 In planting mark the field off in rows as in corn planting. and use a One-horse planter similar to the one horse cotton planter. For hand plant ing open up the rows with small shovel marker and drop in seed at proper distance. Cover to a depth of 11a to inches. Begin cultivation with harrow as soon as the crop is planted. After the crop is well up start cultiyating between the rows with small shoveied cultivator and keep the soil in loose condition for pod setting. It is desirable 10 fo.ce loose dirt with cuitivator mp to the plant. but do not cover the vines

FOR SUCCESSFUL DAIRYlNG
Quality Sets Price on hiik, Cream
 and Butter.

Where whole milk is delivered to the creamery in a sweet condition and separated there, the subject of grading is unheard of, becasse the resulting cream is all of a good uniform qaal- ity.
 The policy of paying patron ius' as much for a pound Of butter fat ln bad cream as in good cream is suroly unjust to the patron who thinks well enough of his product and himself t1 take care of his cream and keep I3 clean. A number of creameries iu several states have attempted to pu; into effect grading system and pays patrons according to quality The plan has been quite successful in some cases However, its success woulj be assured were it adopted more unI- versally.
 Plan For Grading Creams
 The plan in general is to grade cream as it arrives at the creamery into three grades according to quality. and pay different price for each grade Grade one to be clean, sweet cream, and commanding from three to five cents more per pound of but ter fat than grade two. which is but moderately sour but clean, of good odor and flavor. and free from foreign matter Such creameries reject grade three cream or buy 1t at great reduo- ton and churn out the fat to be sold at renOvating plants where it is used in the manufacture of renovated but ter. It often brings about half as much as grade one.
 Dirty MDk Under Ban.
 The above plan should be encour- aged, as under the old system of ac- 2 oepting all cream at the same price, 9 premium is being placed on dirty and careless dairy practice Unless we do something of this sort the qual- fly of the butter made is bound to be- come gradually poorer. Where quail ity is lacking prices are sure to go down. Then some good old prophet will announce that there is no money in the dairy business. but he will like ly fail to qualify the statement by making 1t, There is no money in the dirty and careless dairy business" H.
