The arrival Of the news of Russia's in

the armed forces Of the empire consist OF
aylandine army and militia, The former
embraces land and naval troops, and the
latter prc men between the ages OF twenty
and forty not in the standing army, who
can do military duty, No physically
sound Russian subject Is exempt from
military service, The entire empire Is
Il vast recruiting ground, Even young
men in the liberal professions do not to-

service +. limited, Fifteen years Is the
full term Of military service for all cX-

six If thi. is active, nine in the reserve.
The infantry and cavalry of the army
have Ms their military unit the division,
COMPOSED Of four regiments; artillery,
rincmcn, and engineers being formed
into briuades. Each division of
infantry consists Of two brigadcs;
each brigade Of two regiments of
three battalions each; each battalion
or four companies, and each company Of
two hundred and fifty men, In 1873
the Russian army was estimated at 100
coo men, but double this number, with
100000 horses, could, in the event Of
war, be brought into rcquisition. The
regular army comprises one hundred
and nincty-two regiments Of infantry,
G!ly regiments Of cavalry, and 1856
uuns. Besides this the Cossacks have
one hundred and iifty-thrcc mounted
regiments, thirty-scycn battaIions on foot,
and twcnty-cight batteries.
Scarcely less formidable is the Russian
navy the administration Of which IS in
the hands Of the minister Of marine, as
sisted by the admiralty council, though

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

years past Of sowing u few acres Of rye
Tor winter pasturagc, and with the very
best results, If sown in August or yep

mich cows, and indeed to all kinds Of
stocks. All you have 10 DO i to PIow

tured, nothing will pay better than to
sow il in rye, fla heavy rain soon fall,
or moist weather follows, the rye will
come up without running through the
cuItiyator; but in case Of dry weather
the c~ultiyalor must be used to cover the
seeds,
There is nothing IN which western
farmers are more lacking than supplying
winter pa.Curagc to keep their animals

Thousands of cotton gins are necdlcssly
injured, if not entirely ruined, by one
simple cause. That cause is permitting
moat or lint cotton, that is, cotton that
has been once ginncd, to be mixed with
seed cotton and passed through the saws
the second time. Such lint cotton catches
in the teeth, clogs %thetaws, dulls the
teeth, and bends or breaks the ribs, wears
the boxes and strains the whole gin so as
to make it produce n bad sample, and
speedily becomes almost worthless. 1t
likewise increases the draft 50 as to dis
tress the mules propelling the gin, and
creates so much friction as to frequently
set the gin house on fire. Thus can he
exrl lined the burning of many a gin
house by the supposed spontaneous com
bustiOn of cotton.
Hence every owner Of a gin house
should be careful about where his mJat
cotton is placed, also about permitting
the "hyings" or "hangiugs" to fall on
his seed cotton. Above all he should be
particular in p~reycntingt the ginner or his
assistant when returning from the lint
room after packing the cotton back, rs it
i. called, from having any lint on ..his
e oihing. The usual assistant at a gin to
hand seed cotton and pack back lint is a
playful urchin, who delights first to
wallow in the lint room and then, with.

Many complain that they cannot sue
coed with cabbage, but for their lives
they cannot tell why. We can. IT Is
the result Of bad management in almost
every instance. OF course there may be
seasons in which cabbage does not sue.

that ease all lail alike. IN every instance
when you hear Il man state LIat he can
not raise cabbage while his ncighbor can
ana that, therefore, cabbage is not u
lucky crop for him, you may set it down
~ certain that he does not manage the
thing exactly right,
Cabbage requires a deep rich soil
there is no use undertaking to raise it
without these requisites; and for the
summer varieties the soil should incline
10 be moist, though it must not be soy
~. The ground cannot be made too
rich, nor can it be stirred too deeply.
The plant must be stimulated to Il rapid
growth, without which il will not head
to anything like perfection.
For early varieties carly YORK ana

beat varieties for the south. For sum
mcr and fall use the common drumhcad

doubt, our bcs. winter cabbage. NO
variety so well with.tands the attacks of

The people Of the south neglect the
carrot as a crop, and yet it is one among
the best crops that could be grown. 1t
succeeds well in our climate and -four
ishes in any soil that will bring good
turnips. A popular writer says it is the
most valuable csculent in the entire
range of practical husbandry on account
of its superior properties as a general
article OF food for several descriptions of
animals usually kept on a farm. Where
once introduced it will even remain
popular as n valuable article of food for
horses, pigs and poultry of all descrip-
tons. Butter of the most agreeable ap.
pcarance and exquisite flavor may be
obtained for the table by feeding mich
cows upon carrots, and If stored for them
during winter there will be no diminu-
ton in quantity, or deterioration in the
quality OF their produce.
In establishments for trotting or
racing horses, carrots are especially
beneficial. Toward spring, when the
horses have been fed for many months
on dry toOd-oats, corn and hay-they
are extremely scrviceable, indeed nee
e.sary. Among hOrsemen they have
gained the character of being good for
the wind but we suspect the only merit
they can claim in this respect is that
they keep the body cool and open, by
which they conduce greatly to health
and condition, and consequently to clear
ness of wind. About the same thing
may be said of their claims to producing
a fine coat; whatever cOnduccs to health
does so; consequently carrots do. To
any one who has been in a racin. stable,
or any stable where carrots are fed, it
may seem almost useless to say that they
should be sliced in pretty long slices. 1t
is dangerous to give them cut crOs>ways,
IA horses are extremely fond of them,
and, fiat all precdy, would he apt To
bolt pieces Of them whole, which would
be quite likely to cause some Of them to
stick in the throat. Carrots if kept in
a dry place, in sand, will keep a long
time or, in sand, they will keep out Of
doors, if covered sufficiently with straw
and then banked up with earth.

Onions.

This vegetable is planted either by
seeds or scts. The southern people have
usually planted by sets, as seeds sown in
do not make large onions the first
season, the summer drouth coming ON
and stopping the growth. But it is now
beginning to be known that good onions
may be raised directly from the seed by
in the fall, and leaving the crop
to stand through winter, and finish its
growth in the spring,
November is a very good time for put
ting out onion sets. The ground should
be prepared by Il thorough application of
w]ell-rottcd manure nicely worked in.
Lay Off the ground about one foot or
eighteen lnchcs apart, putting the sets
six inches apart in drills. Watch for
the flower butts and pinch them Off so
1901 ~ they appear. Keep the soil mel
low, but never draw it up around the
bulb. If you cover the bulb entirely it
will at once cease to enlarge. Most va
rictics of the onion are well adapted to
our climatc-thc red varieties arc

Partridge cochins are now so well
known aud so ~dcscrvcdIy popular, that
nothing new can be said about them,
They are a magnificent bird in size, color
and shane, when finely bred, and always
give s~atishctio to those who fancy large
luwIS.
As winter layers, they are among the
best, make good mothers, and as table
fowls are first class. They are quite hardy
and only suffer in winter in their combs,
which, like the combs OF all large single
combed birds, are liable to be frozen, in
extremely severe weather, unless the
poultry house is very warm.
Taken altogether the partridge cochin
is one of the most valuable Of the Asiat-
les, and II first rate variety for the new
beginner to select, as they breed to a
feather, are easily confined, and retain
their beauty along time even in a city,
where it is almost impossible to keep the

The Hog, It.. value and How 10 Care rorit

The Kansas Farmer says; The hog is
an animal OF great importance in this
country, and is every day becoming more

cities, and ever in the suburbs Of these
can keep or more pigs. Pork can be
grown cheaper than other kind of meat,
and what il Of much Importance, a small
outlay of capital brings a quick return
if kept in good condition the pig may
be slaughtered at any agc after II
month old.
The hog, like other animals should be

opportunity Of keeping itself clean. Its
house should have a good roof to turn

The Poland China hog is rapidly grow
inc in favor with southern breeders. 1t
i. demonstrated that they are hardy and
not 50 subject to disease as some other
breeds. Furthermore, they grow with
mpidity are compact in form and take
on "big lat" in Il short time. They are
not large consumers, and are decidedly
the best Of grazing hogs; are not disposed
to root or roam away from home. We
are glad to see this breed growing in
favor. The Berkshire hog has 4 most
formidable rival in the Poland China,
and the latter may yet stand at the head
of the swine list, il they continue to
prove unsatisfactory in thcllturc as inthc
past.
