the resisting garrison. That continued rush of that sen. of humanity wus.

most perllious for us at the southern line of defense where the Russians were advancing despite vigorous ro- sistance. They advanced _with des- perate courage without thought of their enormous losses. Their system 'of not caring for the dead, leaving- great masses ol' corpses, gave them means of obtaining a partial and fleeting suc- cess. Agulnsl. one of the forts. eleven battalions, concentrated to death, were sent. Ol them. however, 150 men s|.lccedeil.in reachlngthe top of the rampurts. crawling on all foiirw over piles of the dead. When they reached the lop ircombat ol' violence-men against man,-followed. Our weakened garrison _nt this point had to rctreatl into the barracks. The Russians com-' menced to follow and there swept over the place a terrific battle.

Bl\Y0nets and stocks of guns were

wielded furiously. the soldiers not hc- ing nblo to flro at such close' ragga.

r ner that they took prison-

ers all tlie Russians _who enteized.

The outer defenses of the forts con-

sisted of trenches and of barbed wire nets. These .were litcrally_fillerl- ‘with Russians. ____.0ne .man alone.,named

.Suchy succeeded ln killing _a major and forty other Russian soldiers. An-

tageons point, executed ‘deadly work 'with hand grenades. His work was terrible. Finally after more than -three hours of fighting the flood of ln- vadors was noticeably checked and 'tho fortress was saved. ' i But before _itslretched that- flold Q! death. The field of dead men lies before Przemysl. and above it circles in horrible silhouette agalnst'ths’sIty carrior crows waiting for their share in the harvest of death." -

of good ability and to capital than other industries in urban centres. The problem of farm labor has been an exceedingly perplexing one and in con- sequence farm systems have been iiitfdiiieil’ so as to require the mini- mum of labor for the maximum yield of nct returns. City industries have completely outbid the farm in the mat- ter of labor. and it is probably true that at least one-third ol’ city working men have hail experience ln farming. I would like to say to those men. now flint if the oppor- tiinltles in the oily looked bright- er during' the past ton years, the next ten years, in my judgment. assuredly' belong to the farm. and the sooner they realize that the better for them- selves and for all concerned."

THE EFFECT OF MEADOW WEEDS

_ \Veeds growing inlhay crops may nc-

tually increase the tonnage ol' cured hay. But if farmers had parts of plants of wormsoed mustard, false flax, shepherd‘s purse, mayweed etc., finely ground mid mixed with their porrldge. they would better appreciate why dairy cows or horses toss woody hay out of their mangers. Some lncoil- slderalo farmers irhop wendy in ai cutting box, thus preventing their stock from picking it over and avoid- lng'tlie weeds. They do not seem to renlizo that many such weeds are _wholesome or even poisonous and tliati when forced to eat them animals fall to make gains, or yield a small quantity of badly flavored milk and become generally unthrlfty. It' forc- ed to oat such feed they will consume only sufficient for their existence. The most economical gains are obtained _fromfeeds which are not only highly nutritious from at ielicmicul standpoint but are also relisheil by thc stock.

FORCING VEGETABLES

Rhubarb ` and asparagus may be handled lu this way. but it would have been better had the crowns and roots been iakon up in the fall and allowed to freeze. Eliminating 'the trouble* of procuring these roots or crowns fron`:i'lhe frozen ground, they erejuet as good when taken in the ,\1lnt¢r..A few crowns of rhubarb could s taken up six or seven weeks before

SONG OF THE IRON.

0 soft is the song of the iron _

As it snioollies my little one's dress,

Each rutile of edging or lace

Pressed warm with a dainty caress.

Anil warm is my heart. like the iron,

As deftly, with glad, quiet Joy.

The dear tiny garments are folded Just so for my wee baby boy.

To mothers all over the land.
