TROOPS OF SHAH ARE DRIVEU BUCK

Forced to Retire After Shelling Rebel Position for Two Hours. LOSS OF LIFE IS HEAVY PERSIAN ROYAL TROOPS WERE LED AGAINST THE INSURGENTS BY RUSSIAN OFFICERS LEGATIONS SAFE. St Petersburg. July 12 The first - Important battle between the Shah's troops-and the Persian Nationalists took place near Teheran. Sunday. .Thus far there have been only in significant skirmishes, with little loss of life on either side, though the encounters were greatly exaggerated in the newspaper reports. ' Early yesterday morning Persian Cossacks, commanded by Russian officers, and other troops of the Shah, numbering altogether 1,200, made an attack . upon the united Nationalist forces under. Supahdar and Sardasad, at a point 15 miles from the capital. Although the Royalists -shelled the Nationalists' position with four guns for two hours they failed to dislodge the enemy. Cossacks Advanced. Two hundred of the Cossacks advanced to within half a mile of the Nationalists, keeping up a heavy fire with Maxims and quick-firing guns. The Nationalists replied at intervals with a single gun, dropping a number of shells among the Cossacks, and compelling them to retire. No information has been received here as to the number of casualties, but they were heavy on both sides, it is learned. General Dobror Mussnissky, in command of the Russian troops, is within 80 miles of Teheran. He has strict orders not to interfere with the belligerents, but should General Llankhoff and the Russian officers in command of the Shah's forces meet with final defeat, he has orders to grant them protection. They are also to protect the interests of Russians and foreigners in Persia generally, though Britain and other powers fear Russia has designs of aggrandizement In the whole affair. Shah Seeks Refuge. The Shah will probably take refuge In a foreign legation when the rebels enter the city, which is momentarily expected. A late dispatch from Teheran last night says that In the engagement between the Royalist troops and the Nationalists the latter fell back a short distance to Dehshah, where, owing to the nature of the ground, the Royalists were unable to make use of their, guns. Another dispatch Bays that only eight of the Bakhtiaris were killed and 12 of the Shah's men wounded. Re-enforcements were continually dispatched from Teheran. The Nationalists in the city, who believe that the Royalists were defeated, are distributing arms to their followers. The legation quarters are considered comparatively safe, and consequently they are crowded with refugees from all parts of the city. KING'S HERALDS MEET.

A Structure Within the Mechanical Possibilities of Any Farmer. One of the heaviest items of expense on the modern farm is the cost of machinery, and, strange as it may seem, this is frequently the most neglected. In many parts of the country, especially on the poorer farms, one will see all kinds of farm implements exposed to the weather. A writer declares that tbe farmer now pays the little sum of $120,000,000 per year for farm machinery, or about 70 cents per acre. Of this vast sum it has been estimated at least one-third could be saved if the FBOKT VIXW. farmers would take better care of It A structure such as shown in the illustration herewith is within the mechanical possibilities of almost any man, and the cost should not be great. Any one interested will have no trouble in figuring out a neat profit if he will spend a little time In estimating the cost of building a machine shed. The house shown in the illustrations is 16 by 50 feet and 12 feet in height. It may be covered with shingles or with any good brand of roofing felt. It is boarded up and down, and all cracks are well battened. A shop ten feet wide should be located either at one end or in the center, as shown. A good, solid workbench, with a strong vise, should find a place in the shop, and a brick flue, with a stove and possibly a portable forge, will not be out of place. The forge will in some cases pay for Itself on one job in the time saved by not making a trip to town. During cold and rainy weather the time may be spent in repairing the tools and in doing the many odd jobs always at hand on the farm, and the pleasure of working with bright and sharp tools must not be overlooked. A structure such as shown should have doors sixteen feet wide snd not less than ten feet in height. It should be weather proof and have at least two coats of paintr A , good foundation should support the same and a good floor of wood or pounded clay be provided. The building should be put up in almost any section for $3 per running foot and in many sections for less. Wmrssn: Gold Medal Flour is best tor pastry.

The total number of horses In the country is 19,9O200. and at $98.40 per head their value Is SL867.000.000. Skim milk will be found "to be an excellent cleaner of painted furniture and floors. If a Utile sow it will work the better. The unreliable horse and the 111 mannered boy or girl are the direct result of the same condition namely, neglect and lack of proper training in the first two or three years. The most favorable time for pruning the orchard is just before the heavy lesfage comes out. when the tree is making a rapid growth and when any scars made will heal most quickly. The first beet sugar factory on record was built by a scientist in Germany in 1796. The development of the industry In the 114 years intervening has been almost beyond belief. During the past year 400.000 rubber trees have been planted on the Hawaiian Islands, where the conditions of moisture and warmth give promise of being ideal for their growth and de velopment. Hot vinegar is said to be a very effective means for removing paint spots from window glass. Any house wife who has tried to do this Job in the ordinary way may find this recipe an improvement. Agricultural pursuits may be count ed upon to furnish a comfortable and generous living for a family on a limited number of acres, but there Is little or no place In them for the man who Is constitutionally lazy and shiftless. He would better take refuge in dry goods boxes and politics. There la no product of any of the island territory of the United States that has had a more phenomenal increase in output than the pineapple of Hawaii. Six years ago, when definite steps were first taken to develop the Industry, the exports of pineapple products were but 3,000 cases. Last year the exports totaled 400.000 cases, or 9,000,000 cans. Some one fond of figures has estimated that an English sparrow will eat a quarter of an ounce of weed seeds a day and that if there were ten sparrows to the square mile the amount of weed seeds which would be consumed in the course of a year in a state the size of Iowa, 66,025 square miles, would be 1,641 tons. It is barely possible that this much maligned bird has a place in the economy of nature after all. Experiments which have been con ducted in the matter of packing grapes for cold storage show that they will keep for 170 days if packed in redwood dust and held in a reasonably cool place. ; The Egyptians are said to have hatched eggs by means of artificial heat 4,000 years ago. The practice of palming off Infertile incubator eggs on a gullible public would seem, in view of this, to be a trick of somewhat an cient origin. According to the government crop 'estimate, the condition of winter wheat in April was 82.3 per cent of a full crop as compared with 85 per cent in December , and 91.3 per cent a year ago. Tbe crop in sight Is placed at 424,000,000 bushels. A Washington man was fined $75 the other day for labeling some of his store eggs as "fresh laid. It has been generally supposed that the only places where this practice was prev alent was in tbe country crossroads towns in remote rural districts. Dairymen in portions of Canada seem to realize more fully than their cousins across the "border the impor tance of testing their dairy herds to weea oui me sponges ana I oarers, tne cows that are not paying for their board. A. cow testing association in one Canadian province organised some three years ago tests as high as 6,600 cows per month. The national apple show of 1909 to to be held at Spokane, Wash., at tbe close of the year. Orchardists in all parts of the world will be allowed to compete for the prizes, which will aggregate $50,000. One of the chief ob jects of tbe exposition 'will be to edu cate apple growers In the matter of growing and packing fruit for foreign trade. At present prices a blocky, well bunt draft horse at three years old is worth more than twice as much per pound as a grade steer of the same age, and It Is more than likely that this relative value will continue for some time to come. There ought to be a bint here for the stock raiser who Is so situated that he can just aa well raise bones as cattle. The visits of birds about the home may be Increased If one wbo is Interested in them will fasten a good sized piece of beef suet on the limb of some tree near the house, preferably in view of a dining or sitting room window. The birds will not only take advantage of this source of food supply to quite an extent daring the summer months, when insect life Is abundant. but during tbe fall and winter they win make it one of their chief sources of food supply. If a dsfrv anlKnHHoa Mrf ti til neighborhood of 40 per cent of tbe milk COWS of th mrantrr are not mt Ing for their keep snd a large per cent of those remaining are afflicted with tuberculosis and should be eliminated from the herd on this account It would seem that in the near future unusual prices would prevail for healthy and productive dairy cow, which are at a premium now and will be at a still greater premium as this work of herd improvement goes on. Some experiments which have been

the Farmers

rural sfaHbn in the matter of growing potatoes under a mulch of straw seem to show that under warm weather conditions better seed csn be grown In this way than under the usual conditions, while a larger yield Is also obtainable. Prom the very nature 'of the esse, the planting of potatoes under straw Is only possible on a small scale, dependent on a limited amount of straw and the heavy expense of handling. Plant lice constitute, a serious annoyance and source of loss to the florist snd gardener. An effective campaign may be waged against them by the use of a solution of whale oil soap which Is made by dissolving one pound of whale oil soap In about eight gallons of water. The same results can be obtained by using kerosene emulsion, which Is made by dissolving one pound of ordinary wash soap in a gallon of water. To this, boiling hot, should be added two gallons of kerosene. This combination should be agitated until thoroughly mixed, when it should be diluted to thirty gallons and used at once. Both sprays wU give best results If they are applied with a sprayer under good pressure. WnUeTlc may be a fact not' generally known, the badger, or groundhog, considers pocket gophers and ground squirrels a delicacy and for this rea son, if no other, should be viewed as a friend rather than an enemy of the farmer and orcbardist From ' remarks that one now and then bears he is led to believe that some folks have an idea that babies don't do any thinking and hence don't need any training before they are three or fonr years old. It's a pretty dull baby at two months old that doesn't know whether it Is ruler of the roost. A consignment of 5,000 cats of un certain pedigree was recently shipped from Chicago to Japan to aid In the war which is being waged against the rat pest la that country. This suggests a line of export trade which might be developed to generous proportions In America without danger of being overrun with rats. He would be considered a pretty loony individual who would allow pure bred stock to venture out on thin ice over a deep pool and make no effort to save them. Yet thousands of boys and girls In American homes are allowed to wander on thin Ice over pools of moral corruption with never so much ss a finger turned to rescue them from what often prove disaster and ruin. Some Idea of the importance which Is being attached to stock raising interests by the directors of the AlaskaYukon exposition, which opens at Seattle June 1 of tbe present year. Is gained from the fact that $60,000 will be distributed in prizes to the exhibitors in this department. It Is quite likely, hi view of tbe liberal prizes of fered, that live stock refers all over the country will prick up their ears and be on hand with the best animals in their herds. The world's production of coal for the year 1907 Is placed at 1,000,000,000 tons, of which the United States rained 428,806,000. Germany 140,885,000, France 35,586,000, Belgium 23,324,000 and tbe United Kingdom 267,831,000 tons. To transport the total output would have required 25,000,000 cars of forty tons each. If each car occupied a track space- of forty feet the total number would have made a tram 192,000 miles long, or seven and one-half times the earth's circumference. Only those who do better and accomplish more in their respective lines than the average of their fellows are entitled to credit as benefactors of the race, ss it is only through their efforts that any advance is possible. Applied, this means that the fellow wbo is raising but twelve bushels of wheat twenty-six bushels of corn and eighty bushels of potatoes to the acre Is a sort of agricultural reproach to his age, a benighted dweller in a land of splendid opportunities, who has no valid reason for existing. : It Is Interesting to note how often the robin, one of the most valuable of the bird friends of man, will build Its nest snd rear its young in close proximity to his habitations. It may be in the Virginia creeper over or near the door, within easy reach; on joist or board tn shed or outbuilding or perhaps on the window sill of house or barn. In any event the redbreast seems to realise that he will be Immune from attack by his humsn friends, while he hss also doubtless notlce.that when the rest is so. placed

That Is. tbe ears It the detasseted rows will be fertilised by pollen from tbe tassels in adjoining rows, with the result that the ears in such rows wfil likely be much more strong snd vigorous. It Is from such detasseled rows that ears should be selected for next year's seed, tbe very best being ssved for next year's corn breeding plot. A friend who wss classed as one of the fortunate ones in the Tripp county (S. D.) land drawing has recently made a careful Inspection of what he deem ed the best land yet to be allotted and after debating the matter concluded tbe land which was still available for entry was not worth the $t per acre which the government asked for It He found' tbe land In question stony and sandy and in many places too rough for agricultural purposes, even If the soil and rainfall bad been all right He has this consolation, however that there are about 2.500 other "fortsnat ones" who sre in tbe same boat with himself. Many a hardworking tiller of the soil labors under tbe self imposed handicap of valuing more highly than he should the things he learns from his own operations and belittling so much of that which he might make use of brought to his notice through magazine or pnper. It is because of this fact in part at least, that so many agriculturists plod along In tbe same old ruts of their forefathers and that many others, having less experience, but willing to follow the best methods they can learn of. achieve a larger success in their farming operations. In no business calling do men get too old to learn. In no line should this be kept more clearly In mind than la farming, la which there has been a virtual revolution In methods la the past twenty-five .years. . .

As showing the wealth producing capacity of Pacific coast states, crop reports for 1908 place the value of tbe agricultural and horticultural products of San Joaquin county, Cal., alone at $16,654,447. - Tbe most extensive rice farmer In the United States Uvea near Dallas. Tex. Last year be had 10,000 acres In this cereal, the crop totaling 400,000 bushels and being valued at $330,000. It took eighteen steam thrashing outfits four weeks to separate the grain from the straw. Fifteen hundred carloads of hlgli quality cantaloupes, valued at $1,000,000. were shipped from Imperial valley, in southern California, last year by tbe gardeners of that section. Water supplied by irrigation Is sll that was needed to make this desert one of tbe most productive garden spots In the whole country. The farm owner should take such a measure of pride in his premises as will lead him to give tbe homestead a name, painted on a neat signboard, with bis own beneath. When he hss his plape properly labeled in this manner he should have some notebeada and envelopes printed, also giving the name of tbe farm, to be used In the family and business correspondence. One of the sights which win greet the eyes of visitors at the AlaskaYukon exposition at Seattle will be aa artistically arranged bed containing 200,000 tufted English psnsles. Another feature that will interest the floriculturist snd horticulturist will he a display of all the plant creations of Luther Burbank, including tbe spineless cactus, plumcot and other Interesting forms of new plant life. A large part of tbe ugliness of bulls and stallions is due to tbe fsct tbst they are . usually given pretty hearty rations and have little or nothing to do. Many horse breeders mske a business of working then? stallions, and not only are they gentler, but their condition is better and their get mors vigorous.
