A despatch from London says On
a front of nearly ten smiles on the Car-
so plateau the Italian troops have
smashed the Austrian line hard, and
taken various positions from the town
of Castagna Vizza to the head of the
Gulf of Trieste. In their renewal of
their offensive the Italians received
valuable 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 lig
seaport on the Athletic,
Not alone we1'e the Italians success-,
ful in capturing numerous points of
vantage, but more than 9,000 Aus-
trian prisoners, including officers in
excess of 800, were taken, The Aus-
trians are declared to have been taken
' completely by surprise by the sudden
Onslaught cif the Italians, who to di
vert attention from the southern end
of the Isonzo lino had struck a hard
blow to the north. When, however
the Austrians recovered from thei
surprise, they launched heavy counter-
attacks, but the Italians tenaciously
held the ground they hacl won.
i The new advance of the Italians
1 brings them appreciably nearer
Trieste, which, from the lower part of
the line. is less than ten miles away.
The ground traversed and yet to be
passed over is difficult for military

be attained except by fighting of a

Declaration of War is
Not Necessary
A despatch from Rio Janeiro says:
Opening of all Brazilian ports to the
warships of the Entente allies was
advocated in the Chamber of Depu-
ties on Wednesday by Niolo Pecanha,
the Foreign Minister, Antonio Bueno
de Andrade and several other mem-
bers of Parliament, during a spirited
discussion of the proposed new Bra-
zilian policy in the international situ-
ation. De Andrade declared that such
a measure would be in the interest of
Brazil, whose existence depended upon
freedom of the seas.
Foreign Minister Nilo Pecanha de=
clarod in the Council of Ministers, ac-
cording to the newspapers, that it was
not necessary for Brazil to declare
war on Germany because she had been
virtually forced into a state of war by
circumstances. He said that the tor-
pedoing• of the Brazilian steamer 'Ti-
juca did not essentially modify the
situation created by the destruction
of the Parana.

Valuable Notes on the Best Way to
Grow Some Staple
Vegetables.
It is very important that those who
ala making a garden for the first
time should have some knowledge of
the way to ,grow theelifrerent kinds of
vegetables,,' hence the following in-
formation is given in regard to some
of the staple kinds.
Carrots and Parsnips..
Those 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 sell 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 eultivatioh 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,
Beets.
Beets for early use should be start-
ed as early as possible on well pre-
pared ground. For winter use seeding
toward the last of May, or early June,
is advised, as the beet does not be-
come so largo. Any good soil will de-
velop good beets providing a uniform
growth is maintained. A checked
growth has a tendency to produce
fibro.
Six pounds of seed per acre is us-
ually used. The seed . n sown in rows
two and one-half feet apart, and the
plants thinned to three to four inches
apart,
Beans,
Beans do best on a fairly Lich soil,
and unlike the pea, require a warns
situation and warm soil, While the
Pea will do well on a fairly heavy soil,
the bean likes a loose, friable soil for
best development. The seed should be
sown not earlier than the middle of
der of the front patrol encounters and
intermittent artillery fighting oc-
curred."
