One detachment of them bos even jHmctrntcd to Krdakiliie, where it was brought to n stop by Japanese entrenchments. Heloro retiring, how ever, it is said they succeeded in cut ting the railroad and burning tho depot nnd stores. The detachment brought back news that n fortnight ago a mixed JaiHtnef o division of 10,000 men with artillery left the JniHtneso rear and disappeared into Mongolia and was followed it few days ago by another detachment of 5, 000 men. Those troops aro oxH?cted to apHwr in the region of ltodum, which, unfortunately, is connected with the Imso by only poor roads.

Put the eggs Into a basket with the small end down until ready to pc: In boxes for shipping and keep In a cool room. Then pack Jn the box with the card-board separa tors, with the email end down. They will keep fresh longer If packed in this way than U put Into the boxes In a haphazard manner. The reason for this Is found In the fact that the yolk cannot settle to the shell when the small end Is put down and the air cannot strike the yolk as long as It doca not touch the shell. When eggs bring a good price It U better to sell tho eggs than to raise chickens to sell, for the profit Is good and there 1 not so great an outlay. Iljr all means raise chickens when eggs do not bring a very good price. Among the most pro lific layers will be found the Itlack Spanish, the Hlack, White and Drown Leghorns, Poland, Hamburg, Creve Coeur and La Fleche, which are larger than Itlack Spanish, but somewhat similar to them.
