A dospittcl from London Ye: On completely by surprise by the sudden a front of nearly ten miles on the Car- o plateau the Italian troops have smashed the Austrian line horde and taken various positions from the town. oqfCastagna Vizza to the head of the (,lulf of Trieste. In their renewal .of their offensive the Italians received yyaivable aid from some of the 'nine ' British batteries which have hauled their big guns down to the , Isonzo front to help in the efforts aimed at the conquest of Trieste, Austria's big seaport on the Adriatic. Not alone were the Italians success- ful in capturing numerous pointe of Vantage, but more than 9;000 Aus- trian prisoners, ineluding officers in coops of 300, were taken. The Aus- trians are declared to have been taken THE CULTIVATION OF VEGETABLES .ADVICE FURNISHED BY THE EX- PERIMENTAL FARMS. Valuable Notes on the. Best Way to Noe. Grow Some Staple _ Vegetables. It is very important that those who are making.a garden for the- first time should have some knowledge of 'the way to grow the different kinds of vegetables, hence the following in- formation is given itt regard to some of the staple kinds. . Carrots and Parsnips. These 'should be grown in deep, thoroughly prepared soil of loose' open texture, to admit of even root de- velopment. This is especially true in the case of parsnips, as 'a heavy com- pact soil develops a poorly shaped and rooty parsnip. The ground may be spring or fall manured, ploughed deeply and thoroughly worked. ' The seed is sown in the open ground usually before the middle of May, in rows two and one-half feet apart, at the rate of two pounds per .acre for carrots and four pounds per acre for parsnips. The carrots may. be thinned to two inches apart, and the parsnips four inches. If carrots are spaced too far apart in the row they become too large for table use. The ground should be rich enough and sufficient moisture maintained by frequent cultivation to continue an even growth 'throughout the season. The root should be kept covered with soil to the top, prevent- ing the top of the root from becoming green, which is objectionable. for mar- ket carrots. onslaught of the Itolia'ns, who to di- vert attention from the southern end of the Isonzo line had struck a hard blow. to the north. When, however, the Austrians recovered from their eiirprise, they launched heavy counter- attacks, but the Italians tenaciously held the ground they had won.' The new advance of the Italians brings them appreciably nearer Trieste, which, from the lower part of.

With good seed, of strong vitality, the following quantities may be re- commended per acre; Mongols, '7 to 8 pounds; turnips, 2 to 8 pounds; car. rots, 8 to 4 pounds. Time to Sow. Mangels, sow as soon as the ground can be conveniently worked in the spring; turnips, may be sown com• parativoly late -two to three weeks after mongols; carrots, sow about the same time or a little later than man - gels. How to Sow. Field roots are a hoed crop and should preferably follow hay or pas- ture, The seed should be sown in rows 25 to 80 inches apart. On land free from weeds, that is inclined to dry out, or in districts where rainfall is light, seeding may be done on the flat. Under ordinary conditions, how- ever, it is advisable to sow in shallow drills which have been run up, with the drill plough, and 'flattened to about one-third their original height with the roller. Hand seeders are usually the most satisfactory, and one with a light roll- er attached, so that the soil is pressed firmly around the seed, should be used. 59600 .P.ISONERS TAKEN BY FRENCH Fruits of Drives Since May 1 in, Champagne and Around St. Quentin.
