Idao Yang, July 30— A Russian cor respondent of the Associated Press, who has just arrived here after two months’ stay at Port A ith u i, gives an import ant and interesting narrative of the situ ation at the beleugured f. rtrees when he left there, July 14 which shows that the Japanese operations until then had not advanced so far as supposed. Sev eral Russian successes are chronicled, but the report of a Japanese reverse, with a loss of 30,000 men, is definitely disposed of, not being even mentioned by the correspondent, who says: ‘ ‘ When I put to sea in a junk the land position on the Russian right flank, surrounding Green and Semaphore hills, which the Russians had lost, had been recaptured by assault. The heights of Huinsin, which the Japanese defended desperately, alone remained in their hands. But I am convinced that this position also has since been retaken.

It Is generally conceded that more corn can be grown on an acre In drills than in bills, but lu weedy land the great trouble Is to keep drilled corn clean and free from weeds. The great mistake In cultivating drilled corn usually Is made at the first working, when shovels of medium size are used and small furrows left close to the rows. W e find it no harder to keep drilled corn free from weeds than it is to keep hill corn clean, by using the smoothing harrow across the rows JUst as soon as the corn is up. Iu four or five days a second harrow ing may be given and then the culti vators be set to work. Avoid leaving any furrow c ose to the rows, and also be sure not to throw a ridge o f earth up to the plants. Keep the land just as level as possible the first two or three workings and then as the plants be gin to shade the ground they will do much to smother out weeds. The later cultivation of any corn is best given by a oue-borse five shovel cultivator Instead of the two-horse riding Imple ment, as with the former one can go very shallow and keep at any desired distance from the growing corn. We believe there are too many high-priced riding cultivators and not enough small one-horse Implements used. The latter, diligently used. Insure clean crops. uiriftier, and their foliage much healthier, and did not fall from tha trees as early in the season as on un- tblnned trees; that peaches from the thinned trees sold for nearly double as much as those from un thinned trees. The varieties choseu for the test happened to ripen at a time when there was a good demand, otherwise peaches from unthinned trees would i have been unsalable. From a com mercial .standpoint the benefit from heavy thinning was very apparent** P o in te o f a G ood D a ir y C ow , I will eudeuvor to give a few o f what many years of experience has taught me to believe are essential j points In selecting a profitable dairy J cow. and will commence at tbe nose. Take a cow that can put her nose in a tincup— you can take a tlncup to milk her In; but a cow that It takes a buck et to get her nose In, you will have to take a bucket to milk her In. In other words, I want a cow or a calf of either sex, in order to make a prof itable dairy animal, to have a great broad mouth (so it can mow a wide swath), with turn lips Indicating a thin hide and fiueness throyghout, en abling it to sift out most of the nutri tion in food consumed and return It to you in its milk; with broad, open nostrils, giving It good breathing ca pacity; and short from nose to eyes—■ long In this space indicates long in the legs; too much wind blows under It and soon dries up the milk, even If they give a good flow in the start; broad between the eyes, indicating a broad deep cow throughout, with good heart, lungs, liver and digestive or- guus; large, fuil eyes, indicating plen ty o f nerve force to carry out the re quirements of the body; long from eyes to horns, indicating good sense; narrow between horns, indicating but little combativeness and a mild dis position; a well developed body, not “ pot-gutted,” v'ith large teats and plenty of loose skin for udder devel opment— but not a large, meaty, fleshy udder that will be nearly as largo after being milked as it was before; a long, tail with a good switch to enable the cow to keep the files from sucking her blood that goes to produce uillk.

Tbe best time to kill weeds is be fore the corn comes up, but 1 can kill more weeds lu going over my ground once with a drag or barrow before the corn Is planted than you can in two or three times after the corn is planted. My practice lias been to fol low tbe breaking plow with tbe drag, i f not too wet, and in a few days cross harrow, and in a few more days harrow again and follow with the planter or drill. I drill exclusively. I open a furrow two or three Inches deep and plant lu the furrow; there fore I cannot use the harrow or weed- er after my corn is planted, for it would fill the furrow and cover the corn too deep. I use the* cultivator with narrow shovels and fenders, and fill in tbe furrow gradually until it is level, then keep the surface level. Now I see some one bolding up his hands in horror at the idea of drilled com planted down in a furrow. I should like to divide a field with you; yon plant on the surface In hills, and I drill in the furrow; neither to uss hand hoe, and the one that has the cleanest and most corn to take tbs crop.— I.

The sole purpose o f finishing a bunoh of pigs at an early age is to make them more profitable by saving feed. It takes a certain amount mere ly to keep them, and the shorter the time they are kept the less this will cost So far It is a simple problem, but there are other factors which en ter in. The pushing process may be the most costly in the end because it requires the feeding of a large quantity o f high-priced grain or mill- stuffs, whereas by utilizing the pas tures and the woods they may make a cheaper growth and ultimately go to market at less cost. It may be said that the pasture has value Iu propor tion to the grain Sometimes It has and sometimes It has not— all de pends on what something else could get out o f It in the way o f gain and consequent cash. The point is that early maturity in the sense o f market ing hogs at an early age is the heat thing only when It Is the cheapest. A man can afford to wait a couple of months to put his pigs on the market i f by utilising pastures or forage and saving high-priced grain be ran do it cheaper. The cost of marketing a pound of pork and not the time It takes to do it la the vital problem. The losses from bitter rot of apples are seldom appreciated, but the men that have investigated them declare them to be simply enormous for the entire country. Professor Blair of the University o f Illinois, said last fall that the losses from bitter rot lu four counties of Illinois bad totaled for ths past season $1,500,000. Tills was In the four counties of Marlon, Clay, Richard and Wayne. Bitter rot Is a fungous disease and can he controlled to some extent by spraying. It Is time that apple growers awoke fully to tbe enormous tax they are every year pay ing to tbe fungous diseases that rav age orchards. Could farmers elimi nate even this one scourge of bitter rot we would add millions of dollar* to tbe value of tbe apple crop. W a t e r f o r t h e S w in e.
