When the time approached for that great ceremony he made tremendous preparations. Everything was to be dazzlingly beautiful --masses of uni- forms and gorgeous carpets. UnfOr- tunateiy, however, this cultured ruler . overstepped the mark. He decided that he should not be termed the , German Emperor, but Emperor of Germany. It therefore behooved him i to be crowned in the lather capacity. The rulers of the German states re- tusted•.to let the gentleman with the moustache to aalurr]e hauy a title.

There are twenty-nine regiments of cavalry and thirty-six of field artil- lery. The army also hate a regiment of horse artillery, two regiments of mountain artillery, ten regiments of coast artillery, two of fortress artil- lery and six regiments of engineers. A large battalion of aviators has been organised in the last few years for use in war. Italy also has a fairly large navy. It comprises twenty-one battleships, ten armored cruisers, thirteen pro- tected cruisers, seventy-seven tor- pedo boats, about thirty torpedo boat destroyers and about twenty submarines. Incidentally Italy was the first Mediterranean power to be- gin the construction ' of battleships of the Dreadnought type. The newest Italian Dreadnoughts, the Andrea Doria and Cair Duilto, hayo completed their speed and ar- tillery trials. It ie likely that they will be put in commission by May 1. The com- pletion of the two new vessels brings the, Number of Italy's Dreadnoughts up to sit. The first vessel of this elites in the Italian navy was the Dante Allghieri, completed in Jan- uary, 1913. Four super-Dread- eoughte, carrying fifteen -inch guns eaeb, are projected. ARE SISTER SHIPS. The Andrea Doria and Cato Dui110 are sister ships, begun re- spectively in March and April, 1912, and launched in the spring of 1913. Their general specifications are idea -- Real with those of the Conte di Cavour, Leonardo da Vinci and Giulio Cesare, which were laid down In 1910 and are now in com- mission. The length of these ships on the water line is 575.8 feet. They have a displacement of 22,340 tons and an indicated speed of twenty-three knots. They are driven by Parsons turbines. The protection comprises a complete belt of armor ten inches thick amidships, tapering to 4.7 inches thick at the ends, with heavily armored turrets, barbettea and conning tower and an armored deck. Each of the new vessels car- ries thirteen twelve -inch, sixteen six-inch and eighteen three-inch guns and three torpedo tubes. The three ships begun in 1910 have eighteen 4.7 -inch guns instead of the six-inch guns on the later ves- sels. The new vessels are intcnded to have a complement of 1,000 of- ficers and men each. The following pre -mobilization announcement was published in Rome: "The first and second categories of the ten classes from 1886 to 1895 are to be assigned to the first line troops; the third category of the same classes, besides the three cate- gories of the ten classes from 1876 to 1880, aro to be assigned to the mobile and territorial militia." Thus all able-bodied men between the ages of twenty and forty are to be included. Four classes -those of 1892, 1893, 1854, 1895 ---are now with the colors. The three classes recontly trained and sent home are liable to iinniediate mobilization. • •A'lt Italians are' liable to military ervice for nineteen years from the qe of tweni .'.

When the armies of Italy are burl- ed into the great European conflict some of the most interesting and picturesque actors of the world's war stage will take up their parts. All eyes will be upon the Bersag- lieri, with their plumes of Meets' Leathers, and the Alpine troops who march up perpendicular clifa with more ease than they walk on level ground. And tbere are the royal carabineers and the Royal Piedmont regiment of cavalry, both holding celebrated positions among all the fighting forces of the world. Favorites among them all are the Bersaglieri, called "the most pictur- esque of the corps d'elite of the armies of the world." The Bersag- lieri consist of twelve regiments, each of three battalions, with one reserve company. They are the fleetest infantrymen in the world. CHOSE POOREST MATERIAL. This corps was created by General Lamarmora, one of the founders o1 the Italian national army. The gen- eral asked the king for the worst soldiers in the service so that he could mold them according to his own plans. His first and chief plan was to make his men mentally keen and resourceful. At the same time he wished that they be thoroughly active physically. The Bersaglieri have continued to be a national institution. Their traditions of readiness in emergency have not been allowed to die. No less remarkably trained and no leis picturesque are the Alpine troops. The mountains are their hone. Whole regiments have been drilled in all the difficulties of bat- tling above the clouds or on the steep sides of cliffs, where only avalanches are supposed to travel. In the manoeuvres are to be seen long files of men, small, looking like files on the wall of some terrible T VALUE OF FAiiht RECORDS. • Every farmer should keep a • record of his operating costs and • • tho financial results of every. • thing done on the farm.

Pay By C. C. BOWSFIELD ••...:......:...: ; ... •.',•row A little interest and effort on the part of the family will make a success of fruit on n small farm. The work Is not incessant, but it is important at times and requires intelligence and en- ergy. Small fruits pay well in almost any locality, and they aro so • easily managed that amateurs need not hesi- tate about making this a prominent feature in their program. Raspberries turn many a rerigh and idle spot into profitable land. A farm- er who does 'not make a few hundred dollars a year from berries is not up to snuff. Black raspberries are usually set two and one-half feet apart in the row, with the rows six feet apart. Planted among tho trees of an orchard the red raspberry will do rather better than the black. It is not best to put them closer than eight fent from the treee. Fall planting of red raspberries in severe latitudes is not to be recom- mended. None of the red raspberry family is of ironclad hardiness, and the young plants when transplanted in the fall are much more subject to severe or fatal injury from freezing than they would be if well established. Spring planting is by all moans preferable in sections of the country where tits tem- perature drops to or below zero. Tho plants of the red.sorts are termed suck- ers and should be transplanted at one year old, at which age they rarely have more than ono cane, which should bo cut back to eight or ten inches at time of transplanting. Prepare the ground as for a crop of potatoes, making furrows for the plante. Set the young plants in the PREMIER SALANDRA. precipice., dtaggnig tack by inch some big field gun by means of cables and pulleys. The whole idea of such training is that some day it would be neces- sary to meet an enemy equally dar- ing and skilful among the danger- ous Alpine solitudes. Perhaps that day is now at hand, and the Carnic and Rheatian Alps on the border be- tween Italy and Austria may see battles most strange in comparison with the ordinary aspects of warfare. The Kaiser's Train. I The headquarters of the German war staff, with the Kaiser as its head. is a specially -constructed train, kept i oh a certain open line. Thin train, says The Birmingham Daily Post's correspondent, contains dining pa - loon, and sleeping saloons. The train carries expert telegraphists, and is preceded and followed by an armored' train. The war train was specially built some years ago for such a pur- pose, and attached are well -fitted boxes for the Kaiser's chargers and his motor -car, spare parts, etc. The whole thing is fitted up as the 'sat word in luxury. Cost of . Bombardment. According to a writes in The War Budget, published recently, it would cost the Queen Elizabeth, Britain's new superdreadnought, which is working havoc among the forts of the Dardanelles, $1,250,00 if she were to fire all her guns to full capacity for one hour. The Lion, the ilagahip of Admiral Beatty, used up about ;375 worth of cordite and shell every time she emptied one of her 13.5 guns at the Blrcher. • slit!, • • vertise in the VANCE e . a.►erlsErtfIEA TURN IDLE sPOTO INTO DISOIWAWA LAND. attoxn of the furrow. but corer only few inches at first and draw in soil they grow. %Mille berries do net ,rive in soggy land, they like plenty moisture in the son, and sprinkling o be done to advantage. to setting out curraut bushes one ..,old be (eleveul to select n place len there is plenty of light and air. • de net require especially fertile tet 1 he} 11 , t,et>•.I the sunlight and t ;,,,'•;,ia,c• ci., not put the bushes • ,` :•< eel !•.• aeieleten down by • ,it t•:r• . li!I,• tor this IIreak4 the t�ix� ,` t;tW.ard s",,,old ire worked thor iy tu;d ileev setting out the ,e+ t"t :+rrcr ISa palming only n r•heneverienlevet i el crnn hr done t•Jr• currants are » surface root lei: flat:,.,' ,ore. it ,l"e of beat fortillxere for workbag into the land, and after the currant bushes have been sot out We will bo found excel. lent as mulch. Hardy oue-year-old phtnts are fouud to be among the best for etarting a new piece. The plants begin to bear the year after planting and come into full maturity in the third year. 11 they are given care they will produce paying crops for a score of years. Pruning should be done in the early epilog, cutting out all the dead and weak branches and heading back most vigorous growth. It will be seen that the currant is at; easy plant to rater as well as a very proflteble oue. The same is truo of the gooseberry. Very few diseases attack these plants. - Tho currant worm can bo killed by applying - pyrethrum pow- der. If there is any disease found to be among the branckes it Is beat to cut os the afflicted ones at once and thus prevent the spread of the trouble. The methods of caring for the goose- berry plants are practically the same as those used in dealing with currants. It was formerly thought that goose- berries would do best in a shady place, but this is not true. Mildew will at- tack them if they are kept sbaded. The only thing to prevent this Is to have the planta kept open at the top. TI Y AIIi5t91t' . ARE FAST. New "Tabloid" Biplanee Fly a Hun. tired Mile* an. Hour. On several recent occasions the British Royal Flying Corps have penetrated into German territory and succeeded in dropping bombs on the. Zeppelin sheds, despite the fact that these shelters are protected by numerous anti-aircraft guns, Al- though these daring raids reflect much credit on the plucky aviators attached to the British air service, it is doubtful whether they could have been so successfully carried out bad not the Flying Corps been recently provided with a new type of aero- plane, which can give points to any German machine. This is the tiny British -built biplane known es the "tabloid," owing to its diminutive size, and on machines of this type the British air raiders have been able • to carry out their hazardous feats. The machine is a very light aero- plane, fitted with an 80-b.p. engine, and the high power forces the frail machine through the air at a normal speed of one hundred miles an hour. Over the engine is fitted a big armor- ed cowl, and the body of the aero- plane tapers almost to a point, so that in appearance it resembles a big bullet piercing the atmosphere. Owing to the enormous speed at which these machines can travel, they present most elusive marks to the German gunners, and also tee slower Taube monoplanes cannot overtake them in the air. The manner in which the Flying Corps use the Sopwithe for bomb - dropping purposes is to approach their ground target at a height of about 5,000 feet, then they bring down the nose of their little ma- ehines and dive almost vertically earthwards at a aneed of 140 miles an hour. When within 500 feet of , he object they desire to destroy, they drop several bombs in rapid succes- sion, and then shoot skywards again, aided by the tremendous momentum gained by their swift descend. It was thus that Lieut. Marix recently drop- ped bombs on the Zeppelin shed at Dusseldorf, when he destroyed one of the Kaiser's airshipa, and, although hundreds of rounds of ammunition weer fired at his machine, the gun- ners could not register a hit owing to the terrific speed of the tiny ma- chine which he flew. These British biplanes are the fastest and most dan- gerous flghting machines participat- ing in the war, and are better than any of the Kaiser's aeroplanes. Chained to Guns. A French officer, fighting in ' the neighborhood of Rheims, writes: "Af- ter our battery had smothered the German trenches the infantry charg- ed, but the Germans had fled. To the amazement of my men two German soldiers remained fastened to a ma- chine gun half -covered with earth. It appears that the Germans are ao scar- ed at our shells that it is becoming customary to chain them to the guns, the key being kept by an officer." Watch this space next week. D.
