Athena, May 8. A telegram just re
ceived her says a great battle haa been
fought at Velestino, between a Turkish
force of 8,000 and General JSmokmski'a
brigade. The dispatch atatea that the
repented charges of the Turks were re
pulsed with enormous losses.
The headquarters staff of the Greek
army at Pharsala haa been completely
changed. General Maori and Colonel
Eaponulcakis, Mastropa , and An

Athens.
WEEKUY MARKET LETTER.

Athens, May 8. The battle of Vel
estino raged fiercely from sundown un
til 10 o'clock this morning. The
Greeks have been reinforced, the rein
forcementa arriving at a eritioal stage
of the fight. General Smolenski tele
graphs that the Turks will be unable
to capture Pharsala because the Greek
position is strong and the morale of the
Greek troops completely restored.
Why the Tnrktek Attack Belle
London, May 3. The Chronicle's
correspondent at Pharsala telegraphs:
The Turks attacked Velestino Junc
tion Tuesday night with four squadrons
of cavalry and a battery of horse ar
tillery. The large force of Greeks beat
the Turks off, but not before they had
displaced half a dosen rails and cat
the wires. The latter were repaired
..; : and on Wednesday the train service was
' resumed. -
Fighting was renewed Wednesday
night, bnt without special result. On
Thursday night, the Turks assembled
in great force in the direction of Veles
tino. The Turks made an attack before
dawn, bat were successfully repulsed.
Three times in the course of the morn
ing was the attack repeated, each time
from a different direction, and each
time the result was a repulse. Ap
parently it was intended that the at
tacks should be simultaneous, but this
plan failed, owing to lack of proper or
ganization. The Turks, however,
pushed the attack with the- utmost de
termination for six hours, and only
abandoned the attempt to seise the
: junction about noon.
The Greeks behaved well. The third
brigade and artillery particularly dis
tinguished themselves under General
Smolenski. The Turkish losses were
heavy. The Greek loss was much
. lighter. Colonel Janninosta, with the
Eighth regiment, pursued the Turks
several miles.
Full-grown and mature men, well
armed, though without uniforms, are
arriving here with every train. They
are supplied with ammunition. The
transport service is improving rapidly.
Heliograph and night watching signals
tiave been established, covering the en
tire territory occupied by the forces.
An excellent spirit animates the men,
wno wore nam irom 6 in the morning
until 7 in the evening, besides sleep
ing on weir arms at night.
Th Tnrk Claim It.
Constantinople, May 8. The Turk-
ish government haa issued the follow
ing announcement: "Far from being
repulsed at Velestino, the imperial
troops continued their victorious march
forward."
. Anether Retreat Probable.
London, May 3. The Times corre
spondent at Athens says: "The news
from Thessaly is unfavorable. Fight
ing at Velestino was resumed this morn
ing. The Greek right repelled vigor
ous cavalry charges, but their left was
compelled to retire. - It is feared their
position at Pharsala will be outflanked,
tnu compelling a retreat to Demokos.
v Turkey' Term ef Peace. -
New York, May 3. A World special
from Washington says: The terms of
peace which Turkey has offered Greece
have reached the Washington legation.
They are as follows:
The restoration of the boundary fixed
by the treaty of 1831, which gave to
Turkey all of Thessaly, including its
extensive seacoast; the evacuation by
Greece of Preveea and other points in
the province of Epirns; the withdrawal
of Greek troops from Crete and the
acceptance of the plan of antonomy
offered the island by the porte, and the
payment of a war indemnity large
enough to cover the expense of the
mobilizing of the Turkish troops.
With a large cash demand for wheat
at all points, with stocks being reduced
to a lower point than In years by the
end of the orop, and with prospects for
an average crop of winter wheat very
poor, u is enotign to warrant the main
tenancee of present values, and also
the prevalence of good prices for wheat
for the coming twelve months. How
high prices will go depends on three
tilings speculation, crop prospects,
and the war. There will be a short
orop of winter wheat for the third con
secutive year. The conditions are also
uncertain for as large an acreage of
spring as was expected earlier in the
season, owing to the wet weather and
the latenea of the seeding in some sec
tions. 1 High prices, however, will
stimulate farmers in the Northwest to
get in as large an aoreage as po
stble. There has been a good deal
of seeding, but in the Red River valley,
where a large part of the crop is grown,
there is too much water to admit of
early seeding. Kansas gives good
promise, but a change for the worse
may come. The only things that can
injure the crop are hot winds and aand
storms. The outlook in California Is
uncertain. Reports say that hot winds
have deteriorated the crop. Latest re
ports from France and Russia are against
a large crop, of winter wheat, but in the
other foreign countries there is promise
of about an A-erage yield. Stocks, how
ever, are low, ana consumers will go
into the new crop with less then the
usual quantity.
Greece and Turkey are not important
factors as w heat growers, the former
raising 4,800,000 bushels, and the lat
ter 14,000,000 bushels. Bulgaria, Ser
via, Roumania, and Montenegro raise
125,000,000 bushels. A liberal propor
tion of their crop is exported to the
continent If Greece has a navy of
sumcient strength to prevent a free ex
port movement of wheat from these
countries, it might make a great differ
ence in the supplies of the continent,

- Malarial Favnr,
Tula dlas al called fart and
afua la best described aa a periodical
fever. Its chief characteristic la not
ao much th nature of the alngls at
tacke aa the peculiar manner of their
repetition. The two principal type
of malaria art Intermittent fever and
remittent fever. The Intermittent type
la characterised by recurring attacks,
la which, aa a rule, chill, fever and
sweating follow each othe In orderly
sequence. One generally knowa a few
hours beforehand, by unpleasant cu
satlona, and sometimes by headache.
that a chill Is approaching. The entire
duration of an attack la usually from
twelve to fifteen hours.
The periodicity of th attacks la most
striking; they occur with regularity at
the end of twenty-four, forty-eight or
seventy-two hours. During the Inter
vening period the patient feela pretty
well, and except in unusually sever
cases la able to be about. Th remit
tent typ of the disease haa no distinct
Intermissions of the fever; th temper
ature Is constantly above the normal,
though marked remissions occur.
Malaria la caused by th presence In
th blood of a parasite, a minute or
ganism which can b seen only by the
aid of a microscope. The natural his
tory of this parasite la not known; not
do w know how the organism enters,
or how or in what form It leaves the
human body. It is known, however.
that these organisms are always pres
ent In th blood of a person aiifferin g
from malaria, and that they disappear
wit 11 the disappearance of th symp
toms, or with the administration of
quinine. Low, marshy region, wilb
abundant vegetation, badly draiued
low-lying districts, old river courses,
tracts of land which are rich In vege
table matter, aad particularly dis
tricts which hav been allowed to fall
out of cultivation, are. favorite locali
ties for the development of the ma
larial poison.
In region where malaria constantly
prevails. It occurs most frequently la
spring and autumn; In temperate re
gions It Is at Its worst la September
and October. Wherever It prevails the
drinking water should be boiled, and
unnecessary exposure to the night air
should be avoided. Youth's Companion.

Both Want to Fight.
London, May 3. It is semi-ofBcially
stated that there is reason to believe
that European intervention between
Turkey and Greece in the present posi
tion of affairs is regarded as wholly im
practicable, both Greece and Turkey
having resolved to continue the war.
The powers are thus obliged to stand
aside until one of the combantants is
, finally defeated. 5 :
Americans Had the Advantage.
London, May 3. In the house of
commons today the presidetnt of the
board of trade, C. T. Ritchie, replying
to Sir Charles Howard Vincent, con
servative and free trader, said the gov
ernment was not prepared to compel
companies applying for new railway
charters to buy their equipment in the
United Kingdom. In the case of the
Waterloo City railway, Mr. Ritchie
added, twenty-two cars had been or
dered in America, because out of seven
English firms tendering bids for the
worx, not one was able to deliver the
stock in the time required by the rail
road company.
Aged Woman Tortured by Thieves.
Bisterville, W. Vs., May 8. Last
night Mrs. Shock, an aged lady living
at Adonis, was tortured and robbed by
a negro and white man, who forced an
: entrance into her home. The fiends
brutally beat her bare feet with switch
es, burned them with candles, and also
burned the hair from her head and
roasted one ear. The woman finally
told where her money was bidden, and
the robbers secured $500 and escaped.
The woman will probably die.

There la a town on Vancouver Isl

the climate and surrounding com
bine to make It attractive. But there
Is a shortage of women and young

of melancholy In the bearing of the
superfluous male inhabitant.
The Mayor of this town la a resource
ful man. Finding that It was Impos
sible to relieve the gloom that had
settled over his bailiwick without for

the East A hundred young women
comprised the first consignment to this
center of high-pressure bachelorhood.
Th town received tb newcomers
with open arms. A reception followed
by a "bargain sale" f wives acted like
tonic on the despairing community.
Men who had begun to fear that a
long journey must precede the chance
to wed found a honeymoon within
their reach. Th bidding waa spirit
ed. In some Instance great bargains
were obtained, a forlorn bachelor ob
taining a better half at actually panic
prices. One man had a life partner
knocked down to him before b had
been Introduced to her.
There was not a large amount of
money involved In this curious sale.
A girl who owned $50 waa rich enough
to Indulge in the luxury of spinster'
hood If she so desired. A man with
$100 to spend at the auction was In a
position to make bis own choice prac
tically. Beauty waa at a premium,
and frequently caused very lively com
petition. On the whole, the experi
ment was a great success, and th
town has taken on an air of gayety that
It sadly needed. The number of wed

Before sowing clover seed, harrow
the grain acrou the drills, then sow
,-be seed right pehlnd the harrow. If
the land la rich, six quarts of seed will
be enough to sow upon an acre; If the
round Is poor, sow eight quarts to the
acre. The secret of successful clover
growth Is a thin coat of rich manure,
spread over the Held either In the fall
or In the spring. Six two-horse loads
will cover an acre. If the stubble la
heavy, cut It off, setting the mower bar
high. The time to cut Is about the
middle of August Make It Into bay
It makes a fine feed for young cattle In

early in the fall, or during the winter.

Is not enough moisture to start the

Feeding Young Chick.
Chickens do not require food for tho

ter that time they should b removed
from the nest or Incubator whera they
were hatched. Then for the first week
stale bread, aoaked lu milk, with the
milk partly aqueeied, or th yolk of
hard-boiled eggs, mixed with bread
crumbs, will be found th beat food
for them. .
Do not feed young chlcka th whit

Granulated oatmeal, fed dry, ta also
good, but It never should be damp
eued. If the chicks cannot get graaa In
their runs, It should be provided for

very well, If graaa canuot be procured.
Do not allow the chicks' drinking
water to get warm by standing In tho
sun. Give thoiu fresh water three or
four time a dny. After tbe first two
weeks. If you do not want bowel trou

Animate aepi in warm atatilea are
less liable to protect ' themselves
against vermin tbat they can easily
destroy Dy roiling in the dust when
given free range In summer. The fact
tbat a horse will often choose to roll
on bare soil, especially If dusty, rather
tuan on tbe grass. Is Itself pretty good
evidence tbat tbe horse la troubled bv
uce. a snrewa norse win often do this
If tbe soil be wet, and thus cover him
self with mud. When It dries It Is
turned to dust In tbe process of groom
ing, uust win mil lice, and when an!
mala have access to bare ground they
are never irouoiea in this way. Often
In stables where poultry are allowed,
the Vermin come from tbe bodies of tbe
bens, finding a lodgment on the wood
work of tbe stable. Prepare a kerosene
emulsion with one part of kerosene to
ten of water, and enough soap to make
It come together In a mixture. Wash the
necks and shoulders of all horses In
stable with thla occasionally, and the
vermin will cease to trouble. But
whether horses are or are not pestered
with ben lice, poultry have no business
In horse stables. Tbey are very aDt to
get in unless doors and windows are
kept closed or protected by screens.
More horses are kept poor by having
fowla soil their feed boxes than by lack
of feed when working bard during the

Ornwlnz Sweet Peaaw
Sweet pea require tbe same culture
as tbe garden pea, with tbe exception
tbat tbey require beavler manuring.
It Is not necessary to train them on
trellises, or on stakes; while they have
tendrils and cling for support to any
stake that may be near them, yet tbey
can be grown with great satisfaction
by running off rows In the garden forty
inches wide and about four laches In
depth. Place In tbe bottom of tbe fur
row one Inch of old, well-rotted ma
nure, and sow three or four seeds to
the Inch. Cover the seed only two
Inches In depth, and aa tbe peas grow,
draw the other two Inches of soil close
up to tbe root. Keep the soil loose be
tween tbe rows; when tbe vine are
half grown, throw a light furrow on
each aid of the pea row thla will
Twenty Acre K no nth.
If you have but one team, twelve to
twenty acres will be enough, to bar
under cultivation. Aim to give every
crop four good horse cultivations. The
moothlng barrow Is a very valuable
Implement. One week after planting,
If the ground Is fit run over the field
the way the corn or pototoes were
planted; the following week barrow
across tbe rows. These crops may be
harrowed four times. With good
barrow and a steady team, no band
boelng will be required.
Grass for Wet Land,
The best groaaea for marnliy land
are rod top, meadow fescue, fowl
meadow gratis, Kentucky blue gmsa j
and meadow foxtail. Land which haa
been for twenty years In paatura will
probably not require much, If any, fer
tilizer, but It would be well, before
seeding down, to keep the land under
cultivation for one year. Corn would
be tbe most suitable crop for thla pur
pose. '
Women and tha Oarden.
Always take the wife's advice about
making tbe garden, but don't let her do
tbe hard work. It may seem puttering
work, but If so plant In long, straight
rows with room enough between to use
the cultivator Jreely. In this way by
borse power much more can be accom
plished, and the labor being used econ
omically, and on rich laud, will make
more profit than tbe like amount of la
bor on any part of the farm outside tbe
garden. ;. '
' Secular Halting of Cowe.
It Is Important that cows be regular
ly salted at least twice a week. If tbey
have salt before them all the time they
will not eat more than is good for them.
This regular salting not only Increases
milk yield, but also makes It of better
quality. Where cows are aalted regu
larly their milk will keep sweet twenty-four
hours longer than will milk
from cow that have suffered for lack
of salt ;
Vegetable Peed.
In buying vegetable and grass seeds,
buy from a nrst-ciass bouse, and gel
fresh, last year's seeds. If tbe price la
blgb, get less seed, but prepare tha
grouna property ana put in plenty of
fine well rotted manure. Sow tbe vege
table seeds thin not more than two or
three seed to tbe Inch. Mangel seeds
should be sown but one seed to tb
Inch.
