EXPORT OF ANTIQUES.
Unprecedented Business Being Done
 By Italy in This Line.

Correspondence of The Associated PressD
 Rome, March 1.-Italian antiques are being exported to the United States in unprecedented quantities. according to United States Consul William F. Kelly. During the past year the export of such items amount ed to the value of s334616 as com pared to S169,170 in 1914. and s141,- Al in 1913, the reason being that an- tiques have generally become a drug on the European markets as against the new souvenirs and curiOsities ere ated by the present war.
 It seems to be general opinion that after the war antiques will de-
 precate still more in value and in terest. This, however. is a mistaken view, according to the Rev. Walter L. laWrie, rector of the American church in Rome, who is a well known an tlQuarlan.

THRIFT CAMPAIGN ON.

 By Members of Duma.

Petrograd March 16-A committee of members of Duma have begun a thrift campaign, and arc urging the government to support them by pro hibiting importation of lIXuricS and by using every means in it's power to turn the stream of unfruitful eX- penditure into the channel of ma tiOnal war effort.
 The committee urges that the rail- ways should cease to carry anything g but the necessaries of life, and pro- tests that flowers and mineral waters have in some cases been given pre- cedence over flour and coal. The ministry of railways has just an nounced that passenger traffic on the line from Petrograd to Moscow will be stopped for a week, in order to allow the acceleration of freight and war traffic.
 An increase in the tax on theater tickets Is also being urged, although the tax already amounts to about 25 per cent. of the price.

JAPAN'S RISE IN
 ONLY FIFTY YEARS
Remarkable Growth Of Island
 Empire in Half a Century

Correspondence of The Associated Press.)
 Tokio, Feb. 20.-From a great D. wer Japan has become a world power, and the nations of the west can no longer make light of Japan's strength, particularly of her pre- eminent position and immense in tluenCe in the affairs of the Far East, according to Premier Count OkUI d in an article in his popular monthly New Japan.
 He calls his contribution "Japan's New Position in the Worlds Dlplo- macy" In general way it bears out the feeling of observers in the Orient that Japan's policy of the future will be that of trying to play the predominating role in China on account of her power and special position and interests.
 He says: Japan, which half a century ago was an insignificant and mere island empire, isolated in cor Ter of the extreme east, has now be- come one of the worlds powers ana come to sway great influence. Japan finds herself with Great Britain, the United States, Germany, France
  Japan affects in some way or other the interests of those great nations and reflects on the situation oof the world Even Great Britain, which took pride in her worldwide Influence and stuck to her faVorite traditional rOlicv of 'honored isolation was com nclled to conclude an offensive and 1 defensive alliance with Japan casting aside her national pride of isolated independence,-a proof that Britain Irccognized the greatness of Japan'S national activity and future ascen- l dency. The great work and rapid de jvclopment Japan achieved in the comparatively short period of only half a century after the country's opening to international intercourse f, vorab bly compares and compete: with the progress and developmen attained by the occidental countrie! through several centuries and after hard laborious experience of wars ant revolutions"
 He points out that adhesion to tho ]London peace agreement by whicf the Entente Allies mutually promised to make peace only in common give Japan the right of speech at tn
 peace conference to be held at tn l conclusion of the war not only o1 questions pertaining to the Orient bu jalso on matters concerning the Bal

SEIZURE OF STILLS
 FOR WAR PURPOSES
But Supply of Whiskcy in British
 Isles Gives Hope to the Thirsty.

Correspondence of The Associated Press)
 London, Feb. 25-Teetotalers and prohibitionists have hailed with joy an intimation by David Lloyd George, the minister of munitions, that all patent whiskey stills in the British Isles will be taken over by the gov ernment for war work until the end of the war, to be used for the pro- duction of certain of the ingredients of explosives.
 There will be no shortage of whis- key, however. The distillers say they have a stock in bond quite suf- ficient to supply the normal con- sumption in this country for at least three years. They also point out that unless the war should come to a sudden end their supply would last four years owing to the lessened con- sumption due to the restricted sale now in force.
 Only about a dozen of the biggest distilleries in Scotland come under the category of patent stills. Tn the year ended March last there were distilled In Scotland 28,OOO,OO0 gal Ions and there were in stock 113,000,- 900.
 There are many of the other type of still pot stills not likely to be taken over by the government. In these fermented liquor obtained from the barley is boiled in a pot. The escaping vapor passes through a pipe where it condenses as spirit, but it is Impure and has again to be distilled. The patent still is a complicated ap- Daratus which, with the application of steam, works quickly and requires no second diStillatiOn.

ample room for the selection of garden site, the slope of the land should be carefully considered. gentle slope towards the south is
 most desira ble for growing early
 crops, while it is a decided advantage
 70 have the plot protected on the
 north and northwest by either hill,
 | group of buildings, or a board fence.
 Drainage of the garden is of great importance. The land should have sufficient fall to drain off surplus water during heavy rains and yet not
 be so steep that the soil will be washed or gullied. The surface
 should be nearly level so the water will not stand in hollowJs Where the
 natural slope of the land does not provide sufficient natural drainage ditches may be dug or tile drain put in. This will prevent waste water from the adjoining land from wash ing over it. such water may carry weed and grass seed into the garden, which are later culled out with diff cu1ty.
 How to Fertilize.
 The soil in the average back yard is not only lacking in plant food but also has been packed until it is hard and unyielding. To loosen up such soil and make it suitable for garden produce requires that careful atten- tion be given to it's preparation. After spading the inclosure thorough ly, the upper three inches should be made fine with the use of hoe and rake. Stones and rubbish should be rt l,r~NI The surface should be made even and as level as possible It may then be marked off for planting in conformity with the general plan of the garden.
 Barnyard or stable manure is the best fertilizer because it furnishes both plant food and humus. An ap- plication at, the rate of from twenty to thirty tons to the acre of we'll routed manure is very satisfactory. This should be applied after blowing or working with a spade, and dis evenly over the surface and Ia ter worked in with a hoe and rake. On many soils it is advisable to apply commercial fertilizer, especially phos- phate, in addition to the manure An application of 300 to 500 pounds of acid phosphate to the acre is sufficient If additional potash is needed, which is often the case with sandy soils, this may be supplied in the form of wood ashes. If the wood ashes are lnleached they should be distributed over the garden, using 1000 pounds O the acre. If they have been wet, l IT leached, 2,000 pounds should be 1 lsed. An application of 100 pounds 1 o the acre of nitrate of soda may be | lsed in the spring to start the plants ,efore the nitrogen in the manure has 'ecome available. It should be borne n mind that commercial fertilizers will not yield good results unless the oil is well supplied with humus. od or other vegetation which has
