RUSSIANS TO MOVE
CAPITAL TO MOSCOW
VIII Take Place Very Soon-Already
Evacuating Port ON
the Baltic

PETROGRAD, Russia.-The gov
eminent has definitely determined to
move to Moscow in the very near
future.
The newspapers publish an official
announcement that the evacuation OF
the fortified port of Reval on the
Baltic at the entrance to the Gulf
of Finland has begun.
Tho definite date has not been
set, it will be in the very near fu-
ture," said M. Kishkin, in announc-
ing the governments intention to
move, in an interview in the Bourse
Gazette. mo one is now permitted
to go to Moscow except on govern
ment business" he continued.
The government is to occupy one
of the buildings in the Kremlin, the
ancient capital.
The preliminary parliament will
convene in Petrograd on Saturday
and move to Moscow later.
The determination to move the
government is said to be in keeping
with the belief of the chief of staff
that Petrograd is now in the direct
war zone.
The government takes the position
that it is merely following the pre-
cedent set by the French government
when it moved to Bordeaux the first
year of the war.
The announcement Of the decision
is to be made to the preliminary par
lament at its first meeting. Quarters
are to be found in Moscow for the
parliament and also for the diplo-
matte corps.
The correspondent was informed
last night by diplomatic representa-
tiyes here that they had not been
officially notified of the decision.
They understood, however, that the
government had sought quarters for
them in Moscow in the event of an
emergency.
The schools at Reval have been
closed. The inhabitants Of the city
are being sent to the interior of
Russia.

SELECTION OF HORSE COLLAR
Close Attention Must Be Given to Pre-
vent GaIIs-Care Of Shoulder lie
Simple Process.

In order to prevent gals and more
serious conditions it is not enough to
give close attention to the selection Of
the collar. The shoulder Of the horse
should always be washed and given
special care when the animal Is at
steady work. If the selection of the
collar has been properly made and all
other things in regard to this piece Of
harness looked after, the care of the
animals shoulder is simple process.
Under these conditions washing the
shoulder with soap and pure water
after the harness has been removed
at the end of days work, and thor
ough drying the parts by rubbing 1t
with clean cloths, Is all that is neces-
sary.

DEPTH FOR DRILLING WHEAT
Results Given Of Experiments Con-
Quoted by Ohio Experiment Sta
tion for Five Years.

Considerable difference of opinion
exists among wheat growers as to the
proper depth Of drilling wheat. The
Ohio agricultural experiment station
has conducted tests for five years COM
pairing various depths Of drilling and
'broadcasting. The yield Of wheat in
bushels per acre for wheat drilled one
inch deep was 28.7 bushels; drilled two
inches, 1871 bushels per acre; drilled
three inches deep, 28.5 bushels per
acre; sown broadcast, 24.9 bushels per
acre.

FEED LATE MATCHED CHICKS
Little Ones Should Be Fed Separately
From Older FowIs-ThoroughIy
Disinfect Coops.

1t is a mistake to put the late
Matched chicks in the same yards with
older ones, to allow them to run on
ground which has been more or less
fouled by the earlier broods, or to use
the coops which earlier broods have
used unless these coops have been
thoroughly disinfected. The little ones
must also be fed separate from the
larger ones or the latter will get most
of the feed besides abusing the smaller
ones.

CONSERVATION

Every man, woman and child
ought to know that nothing on
the earth or In the earth will re-
tain Its pristine strength If we
take more from 1t than we re-
turn to 1t. In fact, this process
will inevitably sap its vitality
and finally destroy 1t. We can
not milk without feeding, sub
tract without adding, check
without depositing, draw from
the spigot without putting in at
the bung; we cannot eat our
cake and keep it. We cannot
grow crops without returning
fertilizer to the soil.

The early Matching ducklings, If they

cept those which are to be kept over
for breeding purposes, and they should
not be fattened, but should remain on
free range If possible.

If the weeds have flourished in your

down now.
If they have not gone to seed, they
can be plowed under later to help out
the stable manure you apply, but If
they have, they should be removed
from the garden and thrown on the
compost heap; composing kills weed

Pick of German
Army Rushed In
To Save Battle
Prussian Guards Fighting
to Stem British Drive
on Douai

London. April 26.-The fierce strug-
gle on the Arras front, with the terrible
toll Of lives on both sides, shows no
signs Of abating, according to the re-
ports from British correspondents at
the front dispatched Wednesday night.
The Germans evidently have not
abandoned hope Of retaking the lost
ground. and to that end are bringing up
fresh battalions to throw into the bat
tie. Some Of the best troops from
other parts Of the German lines in the
west are being unloaded from crowded
troop trains in the area between Douai
and Cambria Among these are the
Wurttembergers and the 4th Division
OF the Prussian Guards.
The enemy, say the spondents'
show a determination to keep the Brit
ish back from a nearer approach to
the Hindenburg line whatever tie cost
and the accumulation OF new troops in
dicates the growth of the battle 70
even greater dimensions. As an eyI-
dence OF the determination shown by
the German command to recover lost
positions, no fewer than eight counter
attacks have already been made against
Gavrelle. all Of which have been broken
or dispersed without reaching the Brit
ish lines.
The correspondents give no estimate
of the British losses. but relate isolated
incidents. showing, in the words of one
writer. that the British ARE enduring
dreadful things in the fierce fighting
and under the intense fire.
Nevertheless, the correspondents say
there is no question that the German
losses are immensely greaser than the
British. which ARE indeed small COM
pared with those Of the enemy" One
reason for this is stated to be that the
British advance columns are always
thin compared with the masses of the
German counter-attacking forces.
II is recalled that the German Gen
era Won Arnim said that German coun-
tiers cost much blood" and this, it is
added, was never more completely verl-
fed than in attempts to capture
Gavrelle. In some Of these counter
attacks as many as five thousand or six
thousand men were employed, with the
result that the slaughter was so terri
bic that it amounted almost to mas
sacre. One correspondent writes;
"The phrase The dead lie in heaps
before our position has doubtless been
used more often than it was justified,
but in this case 1t is true in literal
and natural sense Body lies upon body
where our fire caught the successive
waves"
