RuSSia'S Had Fix

ST.. PETERSBURG, Aug. 1.-THE Gras-
dannin, in an editorial to-day regarding the
failure OF crops in certain provinces of Rus
sla and the grain corner which has been
progressing for the, past two weeks, de-
clares that the local administrations will be
unable to make provision for the inhab-
itants OF the distressed provinces by draw
ing upon the surplus of other provinces if
spectators are allowed to export corn or
II the artificial rise in the price OF corn is
not checked. The paper demands that the
government Immediately place heavy ex-
port duty on rye. The Financial Messenger
declares that it will be almost impossible
Tor Russia to export corn this year. It is
officially announced that the government
has not yet contemplated issuing decree
totally prohibiting the expectation OF grain
from Russia, but the partial failure Of crops
demands that provision be made for the
people living in the distressed provinces,
and consequently the expectation Of grain
from those provinces will be restricted by
the authorities

Underdrainage,

The question OF underdrainage is
one that the farmers of the West are
beginning to study with considerable
interest. A great many are prevent
ed from taking hold of it by fear of it's
great cost. A remark made by a
Racine County farmer in farm insti-
tute at Union Grove, Wis, is per tin
ent to this point. He said he had
fifteen miles OF tile drain on his
farm and every rod of it had been
paid for by the extra production Of
the farm in consequence of under
drainage: Every farmer who has
land calling for drainage should make
a trial. Let him commence with a
small outlay at first, near the outlet
OF the ground. Watch the effect, and
II favorably impressed try a little
more next year, A great many never
make any trial whatever. They may.
have lots Of sour, unproductive land,
but it stays so year after year. This
is not good business farming. Money.
is never lost that is prudently invest
ed in making the farm more product

Get After the Council .=-..
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Aug. 1.-THE mayor
and council Of the city of Kansas Citv
Kan, barely escaped vengeance tonight at
the hands of a crowd OF 800 taxpay ers.
The excitement arose over the proposition
OF the city council to purchase the plant of
the Consolidated Electric Light and Power
company for $780, 600. There was much
public indignation over the proposition.
The indignation eliminated tonight
when mass meeting Of the taxpayers was
held to protest against the proposed pur-
chase. A committee of fifteen was APP
pointed to call at the council chamber and
protest before the ordinance could be
passed. The crowd also Joined the COM
mittee
As the city hall was reached the excite
ment became great until the anger Of the
crowd finally eliminated in shouts of
'1ynch theni," ''hang them" In the
meantime the council had been informed
of the approach OF the mod and hastily ad-
ioulned.

When to Dig Potatoes.

A good many farmers look upon the
potato crop as one that can be
gathered whenever it suits their con
venience to attend to it. They plant
in good season, cultivate with care,
but often do not harvest until long
after the tubers are in the right CON
dition to be dug This is especially
true OF the early varieties, which may
be planted early enough to mature BY
the last OF July, but are then not in
frequently left in the soil as q tscon-
venience'' crop until other crops have
been gathered. Sometimes this delay
continues until after corn husking.
The result OF this method, or lack Of

Valuable Hints,

Fumigate thegranaries with sulphur
burned in an iron pot before putting
in new grain.
The next day it rains get the grain
bags out. Mend those that need it,
and mark your name on all OF them.
Manitoba's crop bulletin reports
the best and most abundant crop ever
known. Harvest will begin about
Aug. Is. j
Sheep require the constant care of
some one familiar with their needs
and habits if they are to be kept in
large numbers.
Uniform feeding Of sheep during a
given preceding winter is necessary to
prevent losing wool in the succeeding
spring. es'
Feed the pigs in such way that
they will always be glad when feeding
time comes and be ready tor their
provender.
Don't let the weeds grow, even in
waste places; cut them down before
they go to seed. This will save you
much trouble next year.
Blanketing a horse in the stable
makes his coat short and sleek. This
makes him look more valuable, and
it is easier to keep him clean than a
long-haired horse.
Hubbard squashes are most pro-
fitable feed for hogs. They are easily
grown and can be made to yield ten
tons to the acre. They may be fed
all winter either raw or steamed.
Hay is generally cured too much.
1t is not necessary to have it so dry
as is generally supposed. If not wet
by rain or dew hay may be lett to
cure in the NOV Eefore it becomes
brittle.

Ashes for Hogs,

The Importance of feeding ashes to
hogs should not be overlooked. Many
farmers are obliged to feed corn in
large quantities, especially upon the
prairie farms, where hardwood ashes
are scarce or wholly unknown; yet it
is upon these very farms there is the
greatest need of ash materials to aid
in building up the bone of hogs. Corn
cobs furnish a very strong ash, and
in the absence of hard wood they
should be burned and the ashes care
fully saved and fed. Spread them
upon a clean wood floor, and the
animals will help themselves.

Protect the Potato,

The slightest appearance of curl in
the leaf OF the potato is /, sign OF an
unhealthy condition, possibly of the
rot. Protect against it at once by
sprinkling the vines with the following
solution. One pound of sulphate Of
copper, six pounds of lime in a barrel
OF water. To dispose of the potato
beetle at the same time, add quarter
of a pound OF paris green. Keep the
mixture we'll stirred, and apply it
with fine spray.

method, is that the potatoes in the
ground are exposed to a great variety
OF temperatures, to the chances Of
wet weather and to the various
diseases to which the potato is
subject.
The proper time to dig potatoes
is when they are ripe, as shown by the
decay OF the tops. Some assert that
it is safer to gather them, even before
they are ripe, maintaining that they
will then keep better and be less liable
to be attacked, by rot. At any rate,
they should not be left in the earth
after full maturity. When dug the
ground should be dry and the air as
cool as the season will permit, butnot
damp. They should be allowed to lie
on the ground for some hours if the
sun is not too hot, Then place in
cool, dry spot, where they will not be
exposed to the light.

Geese on the Farm.

The common idea that there must
be gander to every goose for breed
ingpurposesis is declared by correspon-
dent of Farm Poultry to be anlistake.
On the contrary, one gander may safe
ly be mated to four or even six geese.
There is no doubt, he says, but that
some ganders on becoming old will
mate with only one goose, but such an
one is fit candidate for the spit.
The same writer contradicts the
statement that only about ten
goslings can be raised from pair,
and mentions a pair ofprize Toulouse
geese that laid forty-eggs, from which
thirty goslings were Matched. A
young Toulouse goose, Matched in the
spring OF 1890, laid last spring twenty
eggs for her first litter and would
probably lay a second litter on being
deprived of the first one
These Toulouse geese often attain a,
surprising weight, as high as sixty
pounds per pair. The standard weight
is forty-eight pounds per pair. The
white Erubden geese reach the same
standard, while other breeds, such as
Chinese, Egyptian and Canadian,
average about thirty pounds per pair.
Geese are very easy toraise, and are
good eating, as we'll as feather pro-
ducers, and might be profitable on
many farms where now only few
hens, and possibly a small flock Of
turkeys, are kept.

Feeding Skim Milk,

We heard so much of the failure in
raising calves on the centrifugal skim
milk, that we took OCCASION to inquire
into the reason. In nearly all cases
the unsuccessful feeder fed only twice
a day, fed it cold, and fed too much
OF it. The secret of the feeding value
OF sweet full milk is not the 4 per cent
Of butter oil alone, but it is the digest
ibility, owing to the minute division
OF it all through the milk. We should,
therefore, restore some other and
cheaper oil-say linseed jelly-and
stir it we'll into the skim-milk, which
should be heated to 9Oo, and feed at
least three times a day. This is best
done through a calf feeder, though we
have seen the simple device Of putting
some straw in the milk to compel the
calf to drink slowly, and that is all
that's wanted to make them thrive
