CreteflVithin Three Days. ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 27. — Russia, through her minister at Athens, M. II. Onou, has called upon Greece to withdraw‘ all her troops and her fleet from Crete within three days. , The foregoing semiofi‘icial announcemci ll} was accompanied by a long and involved statement of the motives actuating Russia __--—namely, that to prevent the extension of the revolution to other portions of the Turkish empire, imperiling the peace of Europe, a'stop must be put to the action of Greece, which is in opposition to interna- tional law. ' Before negotiations for a future Cretan constitution can be pntered upon, it is as- serted, Russia has resolved to restore order in Crete. Then, after the Greek evacuation, under the protection of the powers, an autono- mous government will he installed under the sui‘erainty of the sultan. In this policy. it is claimed, Russia is supported by France, Germany and Aus- tria. Throughout the entire statement neither England nor Italy is mentioned. Greece is warned, however, that should she, in blind misconception of her own in- terests, allow herself to 1‘6 excited by self seeking friends to pg‘rsist in her present at- titude, under the false idea that the powers are not united ht’t ause at the outset one or another has not concurred in Russia’s pro- posals, Russia is rc solved to make reprisals, the first step being the blockade of the Pirmus. The powers considered the Creek annexa- tion of Crete out of the question, and, it is asserted, in the consciousness Of their absolute support Russia will be in a posi- tion to prevent the Cretan question from imperiling the peace of Europe even should any individual power refuse to accede to the proposed measures. King George's Thanks. CHICAGO. Feb. 27.—~’l‘he Greek govern- ment has officially recognized the sympa- thetic attitude of the Greeks in Chicago during the present crisis regarding Crete. Charles H. Hutcheson, consul general for” Greece, has just received the following ca- blegram from Skouzcs, the Greek minis- ter of foreign affairs. It was cabled in an- swer to the message recently sent to the king of Greece by the Greek community in Chicago: - . “Will you exprrss to the Greek commu— nity in Chicago the sincere thanks of the king and the government for the attitude which it has taken toward the mother country in these serious times? ' "SKOUZES.” Rescued the Christians.

The most important part of such a house is the proper construction of the dividing floor upon which the ice , rests. The timbers the size of which depends on the quantity of ice ,tO be support- ed by them, are so arranged as to have narrow openings between one another to admit the cold air from the ice chamber proper to, descend to the storage room, and also to facilitate the ing ice. , To prevent the water from falling on. the fruit, an additional floor. or-roof has to be constructed under the divid- ing floor. The best material for this purpose is galvanized, corrugated sheet iron, arranged so that all the water which falls upon it flows into a gut- ter connected with a leader through which it is carried into the main ,drain. Dryness in the storage room beingof prime importance, the floor Should be. cemented whenever existing conditions permit. Of course ample provision has to be made for thorough drainage, ven- tilation and circulation of air. general construction of the walls, roof, ventilation, etc, of such a storage house does not differ materially from that of ordinary ice houses. A Corner that “'ill Stay. The corners are the trial of the wire- fence proprietors life. Re lless Of weighting, anchoring, bra _ ing, two-thirds of them are in a state of partial collapse within a few weeks 01' months after the fence is construct- ed, if, strain of the original stretching. 'But it is neithcrrfaxliffi'cult nor expensive to put in corners that will stay and that will prove satisfactory. Here is how it may be done: Select a large, straight, sound post for the corner and set it thirty inches deep. Six or eight feet from the corner, along each line of the fence, set an ordinary post to the regular depth. Fix a piece of 2x4 the tops Of each of he other two posts, each brace post t the bottom of the corner post. Ma e the guy wires double SO they may be twisted tight. A corner built this way will last as long to “heave.”—P. S. Creager, Kansas. Good Roads in Western Michigan. are much interested in the good road problem. Sometime ago they donated $175 with Which to purchase four scow loads of gravel. They also donated all the labor connected with applying it to one-half mile of country road. The gravel part was ten feet wide. The road was first graded and left higher in the middle than at the sides. This was overlaid with marl to the depth of a foot. Upon this, six inches of gf'avcl was placed. His method of construction will result i.I the finest gravel road possible. The gravel is in the middle, with sufficient space on each side for an ' earthen track. The township now has about two miles of marl and half a mile of gravel road without one cent being nz‘ded to the farmers’ tam—George C. Bcrck. Care of the Lawn. If every farmer would spend a little time on his lawn, it would pay. Not one farmer in a hundred takes any pains whatever fixing up around his house. In almost every instance his grounds are uneven, with now and then. a stone or stump a foot above the surface. Grade your yard, make your driveways and walks, and before you finish, set out a few choice ornamental trees best adapted to your soils and tastes. Then look at your work and you will say, never was thetime put it when it seemed to pay so well. One who ,thus takes pains always gets a good price for his place, providing he wishes to sell.
