SALVATION OF RUSSIA. j An even superficial study of Russian proves beyond doubt that the f - tple of tbe czar's domain are ■suffering more from disordered and disadvantageous economic conditions — tibjeot want and starvation— tlian from a denial of political, social and reli gious privileges. And yet history shows 1 that the fight for the ballot has usually been * forerunner or accompaniment in the struggle for bread. In this con nection it is interesting to note that shortly after the people were granted a representative assembly the Russian government has taken under consideru tiou the setting aside of some $7,000, 000 for the immediate relief of desti tute peasants, and what Is of more vital and lasting value has in view a •division of portions of the imperial and feudal domains among the farmers ami laboring people of the empire. The salvation of Russia iv her present criHtH depends more upon giving all hot people work at remunerative wages. •either in factories or upon the soil. rtban upon any other single factor. Po litical rights arc bound to accompany economic Independence, just as truly as that poverty and ignorance are the tliaadmaldens of tyranny aud despot: -tern CAHU OH' GItCHARD*. „ ~VV» have found out front practical iv (he cure of au orchard that not very much reliance can be placed in Hie statement of souie or •chardiste to the effect that the root borer will not bother the tree after it -Ims attained an a^e of seven or eight ;years and the bark gets rough. An inspection of our orchard not long fciuce shows ;<)rno.;l as many of the 'borers at work in the larger as in the -smaller trees. The only safe way In the care of the orchard Is to keep the grass hoed away from the trunk, the wateraiMJUbi cut and to give the trees a careful Inspection at least twice dur-' ing the season 1 . Thousands of trees die every year from supported sun ftctild, blight or arboreal heart failure, -when the only tiling under the sun that alls them Is that three or four lusty •?>ururs are eating their very vitals out tinder the outside bark and Just be neath or übovo the. surface of the ground. If you have an orchard, whatever its ulze, look the trees over tad dig these etiapu out. IIKKO THIS MORAL. A. little five-year-old made a garden all by herself last spring. It was a lit tle patch about eight feet square out back of (he house, and Into it the tiny flugura ftcattered beans and radish seeds. Ah this was the child's first ex perience, fche wtttctied impatiently for the first gr^en leaves and tendrils to appear. At last she wua rewarded. The garden sprang up and flourished, and tbe child was happy, bat one day ohe went with ber mother to visit a friend. Wblle there the cWId **w a ts*vti/ui sajtfecv jrtU* 1«W •rca. ei<Mn, strai^m fnwa. fcne was im pressed and compared it with her own garden. With disappointment in hor l>!no oyos, she looked up to her motnof and Adlit, "Mninmii, I didn't know that the rows ought to bo straight." Ttlfl thilil's garden is ft tan qlo of ireoda now, nnd she goes there DO nu>n\ A llttlfl direction nt first wouM hnvo saved tlio dny, nod there wouM have been one loss disappoint ment. lICHJS. Strange na it may poem, hogs, like people*, .ire endowed with tempera ment. Th.lt hog wbjcli i* alwnys nos iiic and Miiiiinsc about nnd alert at. the sound of every npproflchltig footstep possossivs ;i nervous tpinporcinient, and you want to feed him with special ref erence to furnishing your bacon sup ply, while that old fellow over there in tlio corner, that never stirs unless It Is in oat; you want t<> consign to the pork barrel. • lit 1 has what Is called a phlegmatic temperament. The reason for the distinctions mndc is obvious. For the bacon you want a' streak of fat and a streak of lean, and you get tLat In the first because the fat is ail worked off running around, but the second snoozes contentedly all the day loup aud does no thing luit lay ou the fat, which i* just what is wanted for the pork. Perhaps you have noticed that some hogs lay on nioru fat than others and haw wondered why. A roMi'AUisorv. A farm which is continually drained by the production of large crops raised with reference to supplying the local or foreign markets becomes in time like the stiltall town which has Just been visited by the circus. The farm sends forth its crops without n corre sponding return of fertility to the soil; the town parts with its money without receiving a proportionate impetus and growth in business. In the one case the object sought is moriey, which gives nothing back to the soil. Iv the other ease the object in view is pleas ure, which adds nothing to the wealth of the community. Each year that the farm loses its crops, the soil becomes that much' poorer. Each time that the town has a circus the people have just that much less money to spend for oth er thl tics. BINS OK SUGAR BARRELS. An enterprising farmer that we know of made some good bins to store grain in from sugar barrels. These barrels were placed upon a firm foun dation, where they would be secure and above diuupuess. After the cracks were filled in" so as to make the bins mouse proof a heavy, square board cover was fitted over the whole on hinges. These bins were a great satis faction, in that they were clean and easy to get at, and more could b<? added If desired with but little work. Some day when you have an ambitious fit and get to cleaning up yonr barn let this idea take root. Ilathcr Rongb. Above th fairway there flickered :. candle, and then a deep voice eallo : from the shadows: "Katherine, Katuerine, who is thV. ; sandpapering the wall this hour of tl: • night?" A long stillness and then : "No one down here, father, dear. I guess it must be next door." The candle vanished and then from the gloom of the parlor: "George, you big goose, I told yo\. never to call on me unless you had been shaved!"— Chicago News. After the Fall. "I always pitied Adam and Eve fo ■ being driven out of Eden In such in sufficient clothing, just as winter wa beginning." "How do you know it was winter V" "Why, it was just after the fall, wasn't It?"— Cleveland Leader.
