OOo000OSO0w Miss Annie L.Glidden of Dekalb, ll, is one of muny wowen who are successful in furm wunngewent.she dwns and mabuges thirty acres a wile from town and is making u record of which her friends speak\u2019 with pride.Miss Glidden is a city girl, educated and refined, belonging to one of the most promiuent families iu northern Illinois.She fnberited from her uncle, Joseph F.Glidden.enough capital to enable ber to buy thirty acres of land at $200 an acre and equip this little farm with.live stoek wnd- tanobinery.She did not start the enterprise in a haphazard way, but went about it systematically after careful study.It seemed best to her to diversify her products, so that she would not be dependent on a single crop.She keeps a large part of the farm in alfalfa and bas a record of making $02.50 per acre from thig legume in one season, there being three cuttings of the plant.Few people in northern IMinois have reached these figures with alfalfa.Five tons to the acre in three cuttings 13 considered above the average, and it is pot best to cut the plant more frequently than this.At $18 this makes a return of $90 per acre.All who know anything about farm earnings will understand that this is far A LARGE PART OF TAKE FARM IS KEPT IN ALFALFA.above the average, but similar results can be obtained where intelligent care is given to the cultivation of alfulfu.Miss Glidden at tbe outset was ambitious not only to wake her farm a financinl success, but to demonstrate the wisdom of Laving a rotative scheme and of selecting a variety of products for which there is a steady cash demand in provincial towns us Well us in large cities.Much of her success comes from management along MAKING SHEEP PAY.Close Attention to Details Marks the Successful Shepherd.Some men iuvarlably do well with their ewes tn winter, writes a sheep raiser fu the National Stockman.The flock is kept in good fesh, the lambs come strong, aud on such farms sheep are in fuvor., Others allow the ewes to grow thin in flesh, lambs are lost, and the owner Lus bad \u201cbad luck.\u201d The difference does not lie wholly in the feed.given por the.ewes kept A lot of it is in the man.Perhaps the very small.amount of attention required during the summer months has something to do with it.The feeling that sheep can do very well with scant care lingers with some over into the winter months, and the result is disastrous.Anyhow it is a pretty good Oxford sheep are the largest and heaviest of the Down breeds.When in good flesh the ram should weigh 20 pounds or more.The wool ls rather coarser than that of other medium wocel breeds, and the fleece is heavier.The Oxford ewe is pro- lifie, and the lambs grow rapidly and are of good form.Oxfords need good pasture and do not thrive on rugged and broken pasturage.gamble that the man who has little love for sheep will have indifferent suc ¢ess with them, It is natural, of course, for us to spend the most time and do best with stock wo favor.If we like especially well to bandle sheep we will spend much more time with them than it takes to simply put the feed and water before them so muny times euch day.We will note future needs and supply them.We will study thelr fleeces and type and know better what should be done in the breeding line.We will know and remember those not worth keeping and send them to the block before they eat feed they cannot pay for.It is this constant attention to details tLat marks the difference, in a great majority of cases, between success and failure.Certainly we all desire to improve our sheep, and for two reasons\u2014first, because we know that better sheep mean more profit and, second, be- , cause we take pride in improved stock.this line, as she always has two or three small fields of highly profitable ! vegetables, She also has succeeded fairly well in getting two crops from a patch of ground in one season.This is done by producing lettuce, radishes, peas, beets, etc., in the early part of the summer and following them with sweet corn, peppers, spinach, celery and other vegetables which cannot be planted while there is any danger of frost in the spring.This scheme of growing succession crops can be worked in various ways.Land has to be heavily fertilized in the fall.and thorough cultivation during the This .growing period will maintain soil fer- ' tility.Miss Glidden varies from her program in such a way that the labor is evenly distributed throughout the year, or at least this point is kept in view, but naturally field work becomes pretty heavy in connection with vegetable growing.She bas a paying poultry plant and in a short time will be able to market several beef animals every year.A farm of thirty acres conducted on this plan will yield an income of $2,000 or more after paying for the labor required.Naturally some seasons will be better than others and profits will not always be the same, but this cner- getic young woman has found a system of* making her farm pay, and her success with thirty acres has made some of the men folks who have much larger tracts gasp with astonishment.The day bass come, in the opinion of agricultural experts, when farms of ten to thirty acres will be made sufficient to occupy the time and talents of highly trained and progressive men and women.Both in fact and theory farms are becoming smaller, and experts now hold that a fair living Income for a family may be gained from one of these small tracts, Ten acres, if wisely managed, will return an annual profit above operating expenses of $1,600 to $2,500.Larger places give returns in proportion when the owner has ability nnd suitable equipment.There are plenty of truck and fruit farms in the United States which can show a yearly revenue of more than $500 an acre.This only bas come about in recent years since the present high level of produce was reached, and therefore many old fashioned farmers who devote themselves to dal- ries or one or two grain crops are still unaware of what may be accomplished by modern methods.Nice School Lunches.When putting up school lunches for the children wrap each article of food separately, using olled paper and little jars saved for the purpose.Cut whole wheat bread, varying with white bread, in long strips nnd place Lutter between.Stuff a stalk of celery with minced chicken or meat moistened with gravy.Add a cooky or two, a vottle of milk and an apple or banana to \u201ctop off\u201d with, and you will bave a lunch which any child of school age will like.For variety cut the bread in triangles, place chopped nuts between aud wrap in oiled paper.Add a jar of custard and an orange.Sandwiches made of white brend with a Bling of chopped dates or figs are delicious and healthful.Prunes cooked until tender, pitted and stuffed with chopped nuts are excellent.It is worth something outside of dollars to take a visitor out to inspect the flock and be proud of what can be shown to bim.It ought to hurt to have to apologize for them.But we cannot improve them by putting day by day our own convenience before them.To spend a day in town when the lambs are coming is not good sheep sense.To sit comfortably behind the stove and play with the baby on a cold, stormy March day is the best sort of fun, but it is expensive sport if some ewes heavy with lamb are getting sonked.We must put forth some effort if we are to advance in our sheep farming.The Successful Stockman, A good caretaker of live stock, a man who loves live stock, will eusily learn the art of calf feeding.If one has a natural love for live stock the rearing of good stock Is much more easy than If the feeder docs not possess that love.It is for this reason that you see on farms growing plenty of feed and otherwise adapted to successful live stock rearing a lot of *werub\u201d stock, which if profitable at all is not as profitable as it ought to be or would be if the owner liked to care for stock.We can talk about more and better live stock all we please, but this talk will not make a successful stockman of a man who doesn\u2019t like stock and who as a consequence is not Interested in it.\u2014Kansas armer, Weaning the Pigs.The pigs should be weaned at ten to twelve weeks of age and should then weigh about thirty pounds.They should have learned to eat a little grain by going to the sow\u2019s trough.Then begin to feed them.Give them every day grain equal to 2 per cent of their weight.A pig weighing thirty pounds should bave 0.6 pound of grain, ten pigs of this welght slx pounds, etc.Divide this into two feeds, morning and evening.This amount of grain will make them grow nicely on gocd pasture.As they grow increase the amount of grain.Blanketing the Horse.While we often notice some professed horsemen standing thelr horses tn the stall with a blanket on them so their hair will look sleek when the anl- mal is led out to ride or drive, such a practice is not wise, since the horse 1s sure to chill before he can be hitched up and driven enough to start a good circulation of the blood unless the blanket 18 kept on until the team 1s started.Seeding Grapes.When preparing grapes for ples get rid of the seeds by following this plan: Wash the grapes, slip off the skins and put them In one pan and the pulp in another.Cook the pulp for a few minutes and rub through a sieve, taking out all the seeds.Now add the skins and sugar to the pulp.cook for a few minutes and can and seal.It is all very quickly done, and the ples made of the grapes without the sceds are wellefous.Fruit Dessert For Children.of the Lest fruit desserts One \u201cfor chitdren calls for a quart of fresh fruit stewed with three-quarters of a cupful of water and one cupful of sugar for fifteen minutes.Now butter slices of bread and place In a pudding dish.Pour the stewed fruit over the bfead and Lutter and coul.When cool place on Ice tu cbill and serve with milk or whipped cream.JELLICOE INSISTED UPON GOOD GUNNERY Would Have Nothing But Very Beot Instruments and Result Was Excellent Marksmanship Much has been sald about the improvement of good shooting in the British navy, and in this connection considerable praise is due to Admiral Sir John Jellicoe.Without his help \u2014s0 a writer in The United Service \u2018 \u201c Journal once remarked\u2014the good \" work fostered by Admiral Sir Percy Scott would have been severely handi- capped\u2014in fact, impossible; for the then director of naval ordnance proved himself a man of original thought and prompt action and one of the most capable gunnery experts In the Royal Navy.During the time he was ip ggmmand of the \u2018Drage he turned it into one of the best shooting ships in the navy, and while he was at the Ad- wiralty as Director of Naval Ordnance Captain Jellicoe did all that was possible to insure the guns niounted in ships in the first fighting line being fitted with the most up-to-date day and -'zht sights, as well as to install a fi control set of instruments lu each ship for \u201cspotting\u201d and controlling at long range shooting.The fittings of the guns and ordinary ape pliances generally were also greatly improved during the tenure of his appointment, His selection for the supreme command of the home fleet was in itself something of a romance.ie \u201cad no small share in shaping the instrument of which he was glven command, and his chief of staff, who was, of course, chosen by himself, is another distinguished officer, who happens to be his brother-in-law.Sir John Jellicoe and Rear-Admiral Madden served together at the Admiralty on more \u2018han one occasion, both indeed having been sea lords, and they both married daughters of Sir Charles Cayzer.A Man to Command In appearance Sir John is small of stature, but a man in every sense of the word.He has an iron nerve, notwithstanding one or two terrible experiences which would bave shat tered and really did shatter the nerves and heulth of others &ssoctated with im.One who knows him well sald: \u201cA man below middle height, alert, confident in himself; not the confidence of the oversure, but that of a real leader of men, a man whose features would have heen unpleasantly hard but for a lurking humor of the eyes, and for certain humorous lines about the mouth that on occasions could take the likeness of a steel trap; a man to trust instinctively and one to like from the beginning.He ls à clean shaven, kecn eyed man of the sea, alert, vigorous and decisive.There is nothing spectacus lar about his idea of warfare.Strike, strike hard, and strike again.has always been his plan of campaign, and he has known more than once what It îs Lo bo face Lo face with death, An insizht into his character and indomitable courage is to bu-found - in a reference to hin by one who was with him when he was wounded \u2014it was thought mortally\u2014during the dise astrous retirement on Tientsin.\u201cI was with Lim as be lay in an angle of a native house where we had placed him to be out of the reach af the Chinese tire, and 1 recall the steadfast courage of the man when he new that he had but the very slender>st hope of Lfe.It was practically m:possibie that he could recover.said the flagships doctor, but Jellicoe\u2019s indomitable pluck was a factor that had still to be reckoned with.As soon as he could be safely moved we | placed him in a small native boat in charge of his own coxswain.Wanted the Stern Fact \u201cIt was the next day, as I! remember, that the latter came witb a :acs- supe that Captain Jellicoe wouid like Lu sue me in the boat.Of course, I went down immediately and found him suffering severe pain from bis wound, pain made worse by the utter misery of the surroundings and by the uncertainty of everything, \u201cHe wanted to know what I thought of things.Foolishly, perhaps, I tried to make the best of them, and told him that 1 thought we were doing very well and that there was no doubt at all of our ability to cut our way back to Tientsin, or even to the coast, supposing the fore.:n settle ments to have fallen.I don't think I shall ever forget the contemptuous flush of the eyes he turned on ma or tne impatient remark: \u2018Tell me the truth, don't le.\u201cI had thought to lessen the anxiety I knew he must have been feeling, b.t if I had known him as 1 learned to later on 1 should have told him the plain truth straight out.He thanked me and, indicating his wounded shoulder witls his eyes, remarked, \u2018Hard luck, just now.\u2019 That was all, but it was characteristic of the man himself.\u201d Kitchener as Stage Manager Lord Kitchener once assisted at a Drury lanc rehearsal in correcting the military evolutions performed up ox the

Committee of the Commission of Conservation.The weed question has received considerable attention and some facts have been revealed which show the real seriousness of this problem.Many of the worst weeds are getting ahead of the farm- , era and unless methods of control are .on 100 per cent, put into practice at once, the weeds will gain the upper hand, in 1910, 100 farmers were visited in each of the Prairie Provinces and of the Manitoba farms, wild oats were found.In Saskatchewan, 71 per cent.and in Alberta, 3 per cent, reported wild oats, In 1911 on the same farms in Alberta, 31 per cent.reported wild oats while, in 1912, a still larger number reported this weed, showing that it was | traveling westward rapidly.{ j yo fe HOUSE THAT KRUPP BUILT { oy L Æhis is the house that Krupp

artistes, \u201ccatch on\u201d with the publls when good music that ought to become popular remains practically unknown?Mr.Thomas Henderson, a well known Figlish teacher, has propounded the theory that the rate at which a composer breathes has a great Influence on his composition and on the ability of others to sing or whistle them, which, of course, affects their popularity.Speaking at University College, Nottingham, to the members of the Nottingham and Kast Midlands Hranch of the Music Teachers\u2019 Aszoclation, he said, as reported in the \u201cHospital\u201d: Judging from thelr works, Handel and Beethoven respired more slowly than Mendcissohn.Most people breathe about twenty times a minute, and he saw in that a reason why, quite apart from the melody, the most popular music was that in which the rhythm was even and the accent always came on the beat.The song, \u201cIt's a Long, Long Way to Tipperaty,\u201d was à case in point.It had been asked why it should be more popular than Elgar's patriotic song, \u201cLand of Hope and Glory.\u201d The reason was that \u201cTipperary\u201d was In agreement with the theory of natural respiration, while Elgar's song was not.The phrases were too long and were apt to exhaust the breath before the end of them was reached.The editor of the \u201cHospital\u201d goes on to note that a British officer, referring to the sentimentality of the soldier, remarked recently that \u201cthe favorite songs\u201d were not only slushy in sentiment, but \u201csung to dirge-iike tunes so slowly that it seems aa If the singer were unwilllng to part with each note.\u2019 He continues: \u201cAre we to draw the conclusion, however, that the \u2018theory of natural resp.ration\u2019 re uires sentimentality of the glushiest kind in song and music?Since Mendelssohn was more sentl- mental than Beethoven, who had a good deal of rollicking fun in him, slow breathing would seem to be in favér of br.cing rhythm and words.Why then, again, should \u2018natural resp.ration,\u201d naturally preferring short phrases, yet love to drag them out as if soldizrs preferred a wake \u2018o a concert?\u201d The Honorable Artillery Company of London was founded in the reign of Henry the Eighth, Floating mines have figured in naval warfare fur nearly 3.) years.Badly Frost-bitten Feet.Private C.H.Craig, of Calgary, to ing the first and only Canadian to be recelved {nto the newly-equipped Canadian military hospital at Clive- den, was invalided back in consequence of badly frost-bitten feet.In common with about half his company, be said that he occupied a trenh waist deep In water and slush almost continually from the first week in January, with the result that when severe frost set in, about the middle of January, more than a dozen of them succumbed to the frost.Craig has since been at the hosiptal base in France, where, he says, several of the Princess Pats are still being treated.Some of the men are rather ser.fously wounded, but on the other hand, he had learned that in the majority of cases the Patricla\u2019s wounded will soon be able to take their placey at the front.whom belongs the distinction of be- \\ .* THE GALLANK SIKHis Natural Soldiers Who Fear Nothing\u2014 Several Distinct Clans In several respects the Sikhs form a unique fighting force.In the first place they fill one-third of the rank and fille of iiritain's native armies In India.Unlike the Gurkhas, however, they do not belong to a single race.There are several types of Sikhs, the force being divided into clans.There is what I8 known as the \u201cKhattaries,\u201d or \"Kshatriyas,\u201d clan, consisting of representatives of the old military caste of the Hindus.They are not such big men as the \u201cJats,\u201d another Sikh clan, consisting of ull, stalwart fellows who we a distinct contrast to the Mazbis, who are short, rather fuclined to be stout, und have very dark skin and irregular features, All the .lans, however, are noted for their grea.powers of endurance, fighting qualities, and skill in handling a gun and bayonet.Indeed, nt h*s often been sad by military ox.perts that there Is no more cool and effective soldier iu the world than the Sikh, who takes to drill Lke a duck takes to water, soon becomes a sharp shooter, and nasters the use of the bayonet probably better than the sol diers of any other nationality.So cold-blocded and invineible, 1n- deed, are wey In a bayonet charge that it frightens even the most tear- les fighters, who lose thelr nerve when confronted by \u2018he merciless steel in the hands of those dauntiess and determined Indian troops.Although, however, there are various racial differences between the clans of the Sikhs, there is one hnk whieh binds them together, and that is their religion, which 18 called \u201cslkhism.\u201d Without going into de ails It may be said that this faith disdains idolatry.inculcates the worstap of God the Father an* preaches the doctrine of the Brotherhood of Man.The relig ou of the Sikh makes hina proof against \u201ccaste prejudices\u2019 that is \u2018to ray, un like the Hindu, he i8 not cequired by his creed to refuse to brwk bread with anyone outside his own little clique, or decline to oat food cooks: by foreigners.A tenet of thelr its to which the; rtrictl.adhere is no.to use tobacco in any form.Few x them partake of liquor of evorss.The Siklis make cqually good cavalry and infantry men, In pioneer work\u2014that \u2018AK to suy, In clearing forests, cult!ng ronds, making bridges, sinking wells to provide water

nume Is Speedy, which is a first class torpedo-gunhoat.It was in a small crulser, the Speedy, that Lord Cochrtne earned fame during the wars of a hundred years ago.The vessel had only 14 small guns, yet its commander, Lord Cochrane, had the cheek to capture, mostly hy trickery, a Spanish warship with 32 blg guns and six times more men than he had! No wonder the name fs kept up In the British navy! Then there Is 2 destroyer called the Renard, which was a famous name in the eighteenth century.At that time it was the name of a sloop commanded by Capt.Jerry Coghlan, and on one occasion he met a French privateer of 20 guns, Her captain hailed: \u201cWill you strike?\" never doubting that Jerry would give in at once to superior force.\u201cAye, that I will, and d-\u2014d hard, too!\" respond: ed the gallant captaln ot the itenard in hearty tones, And so he did, and after a half-hour's fight his opponent blew up.Kaiser Has no Money Here The Monetary Times has more than once denled the story that the Ger man Emperor ever made investments in Canada.The story, however, ha been repeated\u2019 with a show of som authority.No Investments have bee .made in Canada by the Kaiser Tbh famous Alvo von Alvensieben, whil having invested certaln German fund in Canada, and having made matter.interesting for the Dominion Trus: Company, the Bank of Vancouver another Canadian Institutions, did no make any investments here for th: German Emperor.\u2014The Monetar, Times.The Berlin Lokalanzelger says tha\u2019 a court-martial condemned to deat! on a charge of high treason an Al satian soldier by the name of Kropelle who fought for France in an Infantr: regiment and fell into German hands as a prisoner.German philosophers are blamed for the war, but we rather think that a firm named Krupp had something to do with it.General Smith-Dorrien has taker part in every war in which England has heen engaged since the Zul Campaign.Bureau Fully Equipped, Lady Drummond, on behalf of the !

Motherland, | ww CRIMINAL COURT VALLEYFIELD TRIAL OF CTAIAN DICHOFF and NAIDEN VASTOFF FOR MURDER Thursday, March 18th, witnessed the closing scenes of this case.The trial had been in progress for fifteen had become anxious, although at first they appeared to view with indifference their perilous position.Mr.Justice Mercier in charge to the jury spoke strongly against the accused, the case proven against them being, in his opinion, clear and complete.On October 28th, 1914, four Bulgarian laborers left Montreal for Massena Springs in They took train his quest of work.tion.From Whites they walked to Bombay, N.Y., in order to avoid the United States Immigration officials.From Bombay they travelled hy train to Massena.Deter Stoanoff, one of the four, immediately found Dichoff, Naiden Vasioff and Marco Ichoff, failed to obtain aay, and on November 11th, 1014, started back on their return to Montreal by the same At h:1f past four o'clock on the afternoon of that day they passed through Westville, N.Y.Jeunes Brown, Jolin Wright and Miss Ruth Wright saw them passing thru Westville, they were walking, and cach carried a bundle under his arm route.and were recognized ns forciguers.Mr, Brown noticed at the time that one of the wliree wore a large pair of green over-stoekings, which were lie ter produced in Court and identified as having been worn Ly the murdered man at the of fais death.Only James Brown, liowever, yyas able with certainty.to identity the At the time they were passing through West.ville they were all heading towards Canada.They were five or six miles distant from the poine where the body of Marco Ichuif, the musdered time two accused in Court.man, was found about half past twelve on the morning of November 12th, 1914, on the road of the fifth concession of Godixnanchester which They probably walked the distance in i.bout two hours.Abe Thompson, about half past six o'clock on the leads from Whites Station.evening of November 11th, stood upon his piazza and Jeard in the distance three cries in quick success ion of a man apparently in distress.He had often heard cries and sounds in the distance before, and soattach- ed uv importance to the cries he heard on the occason That.same evening, between half past six and eight o'clock, on the Trout River Road, William Nesbit met twice two men, both foreigners and each carrying a bundle under kis arm.On the first occasion they were proceeding Later they had turned and were walking in the opposite direction towards Kensing- ton.On the first occasion he bade them the time of day but they made no response.On the second occas- jon, which was only ten minutes later, one of the two inquired from He was towards Helena, him the way to Montreal.also asked if he was tie policeman of the road.Both men were at the moment about fifteen or twenty minutes walk from Kensington.At Ken- sington, on the same evening, Will iam White, while in Murdoch's store, was spoken to by Ctaian Dichoff, the taller of the two, and asked about the way to Whites Station.John Demers, who was able to identify the two aceused, had driven them from Kensington to Whites Station shortly after eight o'clock on Wednesday evening, November 11th.The journey to Kensington from Whites Station was made in about ; fifteen minutes, as Vastoff was all the way continuously impatient to reach the place.That night, at Whites Station, they applied to Mr.and Mrs.J.C.Lepage, who have charge of the station, for a drink of water, which was supplied, and also for a night's lodging whjch was refused.They spent the night inaboa gar near the station, and the next moraing, hetween five and six pur chased tickets on tie Grand Trunk for Montreal.That same WOrmyg Hymen Docter was on hoard the train for Montregl.jie had gone out as far as\" Huntingdon on the evening with six others to give a send-off to a fellow Russian Jew, who is on his way back to Russia.When æbaut half an hour on his way back to Montreal be stepped into the smoking car to smoke à cigarette Mis attention was immediately attracted by two men who were im- speaking in the Bulgarian language, with which he was familiar.They sat opposite to him and were at the time apparently dividing money.Bach had money in both hands and the one was passing hills to the other.He was unable to follow their conversation on account of the noise made by the moving train.When at last they reached a station, he heard one of them, Vastoffisay to the other Ctaian Dichoff, that if he talked too much in Montreal he would make trouble for them both.Hymen Docter was able to identify the mn as the two he had seen on the train, It was at about 12-30 noon on November 12th, that the body o! Marco Ichoff was d'acoverad in t o days, and the jurors were noticeably | .| fatigued from being so long confined.+ The accused were also weary, and \u2018 from Montreal as fur as Whites Sta- work, but tRe others, viz: Ctaian | diteh along the fifth concess on road of Godmanchester, a short distance from the bome of Francis Carriere.The discovery was made by Ernest Waterson, and he immediately notified Dr J.R, Clcus.on.the coroner, That afternoon Dr Clouston viewed the remains on the scene of the murder.He mide searches in the vicinity of the body and gathered in several ar:icles b.- longing to the deceased, and fou à, among other things, a razor a\u2019 d a large pocket-knife, both op:n and smeared with blood, and both of which were later proven tn te {be property of Ctaian Dichcoff, Wm.White found a quantity of letlcrs and envelopes, most of them toro into shreds, but he gathered all up into a parcel and later handed tl em to Detective Lorrain.Among the papers so found was a 'eter nie - feet condition, which had been opened and which had been known to ba in the cafe-keeping of Marco eIhoff.The Jetter was a love- letter, written by a voung woman in Bulgaris to a Bulgarian ramed Neshorf.a perzonal friend] of M reo Iehoff.The letter was a love- worked with Marea Ichoif nt St Phillippe, near Montreal.ard from there had left for the United States authorizing, before going, M reco Ichoff to withdraw his letters from the mail to be forwarded to the next agrdress which Neshoff would give 1oter, In tha letter ref.rredto was a filver Ba'g1r'an con, se!dom seen in thfs country, but very common in Bulgaria, and woypth about five cents of Canadian money altho a little larger than a Canadian ten cent piece.There was a d's- nset imprint of the coin Loth uj.on thel eder and upon the envelope, When the letter was found the ccin was missing, but it was later fourd in the porsorsion of Nisder Vos of when he was arrested in Montag Al the trja) the coin and the imprints were ceapared and both found to be identical in shape and in size, ; On November 1étb and 17th an inquest was held on the body of che deceased, Dr MeMijin and Dr Clouston performing the autypsy.The deceased wus found to have been a healthy man of 80 to 35 years of age.He bore a wound on his left cheek and one on his ett jaw, and also a deep cut in the left side of his throat, made apparently With g sharp \u2018nstrumest and this last wound had been the sole cause of his death, The provincial authorities notified of the murder and the case was placed at once in the hands of Letective D.D.Lorrain, who vi i.- ed the seene of the tragedy, and from information which he was able to gather there succeeded jn tracing and arresting the accused on Sunday evening, November 13th at th.ir Lo .rd.nz nouse in Montreal, 14 St Lawrence Boulevard, They were brçught before the ad,ourned inquest, which was held at the house of Francis Carrieye on Nov.17th last, and while there it was noticed that the frontof the r.ght side of Vastoira goat had been smeared with blood, The blood found upgn the coat as Well as upon the razor and the knife wus later analyzed by Dr D.D.McTaggart, professor of Medical jurisprudence, McGill University, and medical adviser to the Coroner's court, Montreal, apd declared by him to be human blooa, The accused upon their agrival in Montreal, brought with them \u201ca couple of parceis of clothing, whieh, it was proved, included clothes that belonged to the deceased, and which were identified as such atthetrial, The clothing so brought had been left by them, on the day of their arrival, at a boarding house in Verdun, where they engaged a room.They never returned to the room, having gone.in the meantime to the other boarding house where they were arrested as alreaû- sxacea, Peter Stoinanoff was at Valley- field as a witness during the pre- Lminary trial of the accused in December last.He took advantage on the occasion to call upon the accused, as he is a cousin of Ctaian Dirhcoff, Accompanied by Jailer Houle, he saw first Dicheoft,\u201d but Dicheufl's conversgtign wjth Kim wus not permitted to be put in the record because Stoianoff had induced him to speak by saying, \u201cNow 1 come to ask you, what you have done with Murco Ichoff?If you tell me it might be better for you; if you don't it might be worse; you may do as you please.\u201d He next saw Naiden Vastoi;.lhe accused occupied cells on different floors, and the conversation was opened by Vastoff who at once corn- fessed the murder which he and Dichcotf Lad cymmitted, The conversation, howévet, so far us Dich coff was concerned, wds pot \u2018 permitted to affect Dichcoff, the conviction of Dichcoff having to rest on other proof, He told of the money they bag taken from Ichoff, and said they had placed it under the oilcloth of the bathroom in Johnsons boarding house, 129 St Lawrence Boulevard, Montreal.A witness, George Boeft by name, who found the\u2019 mney, wis called.He found in all\u2019 \u2018abbut $150\" in bijls, He ysed \u2018about $10 of the mynez iy 3 spree which followed the discovery, and was robhed of the jalance during the spree, It was proven at the trjal that Mara Ichoff carriea in a secret pure, which he wore attached to a bel about his waist, about $200 at\u2019 * time of his death, It was also proven that Chain Dichcoîf had bout $150 and Nasdten Vastott cightor ten dollars on the occasion of heir visit to Massena Springs, Wha Marco Ichott's foud the secret purse had \u2018een oped and ,its contents removed.Te first witness for the defence wagDavid Vass of Howick, who saldthat on the afternoon of Nov.12t he had taken the Grand Trunk trai; at Ste Agnes for Howick and on/eaching Brysonville had gone inta smoking car and sat opposite a nn apparently a foreigner, the rig leg of whose trousers from podt to knee was spotted with blo}.He had received that morning description of the two ace cul, and so had not bothered abt the man whom he saw on thitrain.Dr Laroche und Dr Briard, bothof Valleyfield, testi- fieghat the body of a man kill- were | body was [ \u2018ed at 6.80 p.m.would be too cold by midnight to melt the snow which fell upon it after midnight.Witnesses were called to show that whilst in prison Vastoff was sun- ject to nose bleeding.Dr D.D.Mec- Taggart was called by the defense to corroborate the evidence oi Drs Laroche and Brassard, but he stated, in cross-examination, that the rays of the sun, even on à dull day, when the thermometer was slightly above freezing, were quite sufficient to have melted the snow which fell upon the body of the accused during the early hours of Nov.12th.There would also, he stated, be a small amount of heat come from the body which would ageist the melting, There was ro frost in the ground, and the heat coming from the earth would be a further help.This is a matter of physics and not of medicine.After his Lordship finished his address the jury retired to ther room to consider their verdict, In half an hour they returned with a verdict of \u201cguilty\u201d against the two accused.The verdict was at once translated into the language of the accused apd they Were a: ked ii they had anything to say.They received the verdict with no apparent emotion and reported that they hed nothing to say, Judge Mercier thereupon sentenced the two accused to be hanged on May ZSth next.After leaving the roum, Vasto!f fainted and had to be carried to his cell.Naiden Vastoff is a laa of seventeen years of age and his compar- ion, Crajan Dichçoff, is a man of about twenty-five years.Both cannot speak either Ergiish cr French, and a question arises ns to what spiritual work can ne dore to prepare these two men for death, PATRIOTISM AND PRODUCTION Under this heading the Dominion government has caused a series of meetings to be held all over the country, the purpose being to urge farmers to raise more produce to meet the demands of the war.The meeting for this village took plarc Thursday afterncon jn the court noise where about 23 assembled.R.H.Crawford was chairman and introduced Mr Sylvestre, who spoke briefly in French, and was followed by Mr Morris.MP, who dwelt chiefly on Be'gian farmers ard methods as an example to the Canadian farmer.J, H, M.Parker, who said le farmed 400 acres in the Eastern Townships, spoke from his own experience as to how productivn could be increased, In choosfng sesd s.- lect tho plumpest and best ripened you can find, and then put it thru the fanners 3 times, Select 200 grains and sow in a shallow box of soil.Keep in a warm spot and water, If in ten days at least 90 per cent.have not sent up shoots, discard the seed, for it lacks germinating quality, and try to get another lot.Half of the se:d farmers sow does not sprout, and is a double loss to the farmers.Always make sure the seed will grow.When you are about ready to sow put the seed in bags und dip f r Irom 5 to 20 minutes in a weak solution of formaldehyde, which effectually destroys the germs of smut.Empty the bags on a floor and turn until dry enough to put in the seeder.There is great loss from nyt hgving a finely prepared sced-bed, disk harrow and drag- harrow not once but several times until you have a mellow filth.He disapproved of rolling afters.eua- ing, because it tended to bake the land, and form a crust that prevented dew and rain getting to tho roots of the grain, In Albertath:y had discarded the roller altogether for this reason.If you use tle roller after sowing, hitch a harrow behind it.He had tried all kinds of artificial fertilizers and h's experience\u2019 convinced him they were all frauds.THe kest of them haa only a few pounds of potash and nitrates to the ton, the great Lulk you pay for being crushed stone or sawdust.Dig a hole in the barnyard 30 feet square or larger if you have a big stock, and cement bottom and sides, providing à gangway at one end, Into this let al\u2019 your manure go, with the drainage of your stables, and you wl have something that will make crops.Thus kept the manure is nlwaye wet, causing sezds in it to burst and thus doing away with one cause of weeds, Where the farmer has not a cemented tank for manure he should spread i pros altho there was great loss, for {he sun dried it and the snow and Fais leached it.When vou see dark.5 ored TRE leaking from manure, either aprend green or in a pile.you know its virtue is lost.Gardens can only use rotted manure but for field crops the coarser the better.In no way can grcater production Le ensured than by under- draining.He had done a great dee of it and found, as a rule, the increase in yield paid the first year, The cost with him had been from $36 to $40 an aere, and, what they would riot expect, uyderdraining i- an advantage in dry seasons just as much as in wet, No Inve:tment the farmer ean make pays better.As ta livestock farmers sustain(d heavy loss trom keening inferior animals, The cow that did not give 8000 pounds of milk in a year was not worth giving stable room.He did not consider the 107) acre farmer could profitably go in- should use anything else than pedigreed sires, Feeding wus just as important as the breed and should not \u2018be stinted.Alfalfa wasthe most profitable feed, and if your land doea not raise it, sow with the manyre-spreader a ton of slacked lime to the acre, which will correct the sourness that prevents alfalla thriving, By giving the lard every few years a good sprinkling of ealt, you will have less trouble with grain-lodging, for the salt makes stronger straw.John Bright, Dominion Mvestock commissioner, said the government considered the farmer who stayed at home and raised all the produce possible, was doing just as patrio\u2018ic and important a work as the man who volunteered to go to the f'ring line for he must be fed and cared - to pure stock raising, but no firmer |} | Only an oaken stave, tor and that duty fell on the farmer, Mr Bright went on to touch on a number of points, especially emphasizing the loss in breeding ine ferior stock, The Boer war had cleared the country of a number of misfit horses, and the present war was enabling the farmers to get rid of more, But why continue to raise an undesirable class of horses?Why mate with nondescript s.res because they are cheap?At the close of the war there was going to be a great demand from the West for horses fit for farm work and only such horses ought our farmers to'raise.In bee! cattle we were going behind, owing to so many farmers thinking dai: y-cat.la can bez fattened, They cannot.You waste feed in teymg to {inish them.If you are a dairyman, pick out the heifer calves you want to keep and get rid of the others as quickly as you can.A calf of any dairy breed cannot be fitted to be sold as a two-year old steer at a profit, If you wapt to make beef, you must mate to a sire of one of the well-known beef breeds.Butchers had found that \u2018te shrinkage of well-fattened Et>ers, running about 1200lb.was rourd 70 per cent.but of the ordinary butchers\u2019 cattle, sue as dry dary cows, Wis roynd 45.per gent, they weight being largely in boner, Hu deplored the nbandonment of she:p and urged a return to them, for ut present prlces far \\ambs and won) they paid well, Hog3 were going to be very scares next fall, Thous sands of farmers in the west had given them up.Those in the east, who had a good lot to sell rext Fall, woulr make mongy, Dr Walsh, In moving a vote of thanks to the speakers, confirmed what Mr Bright had said about horses.Tre only prof tible horse to-day wus the heavy- draft, and the farwe's of this section had lost thousands of dollars by trying to raise any other kind, Never stint a young animal.Feed all they will take during their period of growth, He moved a vote of thanks to the speakers, which Mr Stepten secarded.= Te THE FORCING OF THE BOSPHORUS The flg>ts of the Allles suspended their efforts to get to Constantinople owing to bad weather and to give time to the trawlers to sweep the waters of mines.Thure- day being favorab'e as to weather the signal Was give.to resume operations, whe), at 10.45 am, © British battleships steamed into the narrows and opergl fire.At noon + French battleships followed.The firing was heavy and continuous and fort after fort was si'eaced.At half-past one all the forts ceased firing, when ti.e Eritish { eet move farther into the Narrows ana engaged new forts.Aa the French squadron, which had engagel the forts in a most bril i int fashion, wes passing, the Bouvet was Llown up by a drifting mine.She sank in 36 fathoms in less than 3 minu\u2018es.At 2,34 the batt'eships renewed the attack on the forts, which oj eed maintained.while the eperhtions of the mine-sweepers continued.At 4.00 p.m.the Irresistible quittcd the line, listing heavily, and at 5.30 o'clock sank, having struck a drifting mine.At 6.05 o'clock \u2018the Ocean, also having struck a mi! @ sank.Both vesres sank in deep water,\u201d practically the whole of their crews having been removed safely under a hot fire.The Gaulois was damaged

damage to the forts, effected by the prolonged direzt fire of - the very powerful forces employed, cannot yet be estimated.The losgeg of \u2018the shiys Wus cause! by ines grits ing with the curreit,
