There is species of combination day

from Moscow. Every passenger has a
long seat to himself without bedclothes,
and he sleeps on ii without removing his
clothing. Many Russians do not even
remove their boots. Among the passen-
gers was a Nolga merchant and his young
wife. All the men were smoking as they
lay in dheir berths. and it occurred to me
1t might be offensive to the only lady Of
the party. But seemingly it was not, for
she smoked herself.
The primitive democracy of the Savs
SHOWS itself in their treatment Of their
women. They do not leave the practice
of religion solely to their wives. Indeed
il outward zeal and assiduous per-
formance of public devotions are any in
dication. the Russian is more pious than
his wife or daughter And he asks less
of the hardest sorts of menial labor from
her than the German peasant. She is his
helper in the harvest field. but in the
cities you rarely see her bend benea tn

WHEN HIS FAMILY WAS AWAY.
A Situation That Had to Be Cleared Up
for the Sake of a Young Woman.
Washington PoSt.)

Washington POSt.D
Many a man has come to grief
through carelessness of speech. 1t is
easier to suspect evil than to credit
good. and the most apparently trifiins
showing of thoughtlessness of word of
mouth may cause lifelong Impressions
at orce as damaging as they are un-
founded. Up OH Columbia Heights is
young man who poses neither as I,
saint nor a sinner; but he is a sadder
and wiser man as the result Of an ex-
perience he had several days ago.
A young lady whose home is in At
lantic City recently came to Washing
ton to visit at this young mans home;
but the members of his family, un-
known to her, had been detained in
New England on their summer outing.
Mr.. n. the Young man, alone repre-
sented the family in town, and as the
young lady had been invited as the
guest of the family he arranged for her
entertainment at an apartment house
on Columbia Heights, not far from his
home.
How long will she be here?" asked
the clerk.
Il don't know" answered x; sit de-
pends on how soon my family will be
home. I'm arranging for her here be-
cause my folks are away"
The clerk smiled. but it was lost on
Y. who was in a hurry to get down.
town. The trunks arrived, also the
Jersey girl. and she was comfortably
ensconced in the rooms reserved for
her Incidentally. she was very
charming girl, and X. had not been
slow to appreciate that fact.
Now, it SO happened that DIR. and
Mrs. Blank. who have apartments close
to those she occupied, were old friends
of her parents. Mrs. Blank mentioned
to the clerk how gratified she was that
her young friend from Atlantic city
had apartments near them, and that
Mr.. Y, of whom the young lady had
spoken, had been able to make such
arrangements for her.
YES" replied the clerk rather du-
biously, his wife and family are away,
and he has been taking her out some
where every evening"
His family away!" repeated the old
lady, shocked that her young friend
had been accepting the attentions of
a married man.
YES" replied the clerk: "he told me
his family is away, and he's told
others"
The Blanks were indignant. and de-
cided to administer some wholesome
advice somewhere, in view of the abb
sence of the parents Of the young lady.
They appealed to X. to cease embar-
RAISING the young lady. He asked
what they meant.
You confided to the clerk that the
only reason Miss So and So Is here is
because your family is away"

Winter Care of Cows,

Most of us farmers have been hoping
against hope that grain and feed would
be cheaper this winter. Appearances now
seem to indicate that these hopes are
vain, and the question of how most econ
omically to feed is. or should be, upper
most in every dairyman's mind.
Corn ensilage is the best and cheapest
feed now known. and the farmer with
a full silo can laugh at prices of feed
well kept up.
But unfortunately many a man has seen
ms hopes OF a good corn crop blasted
and his silo is now empty or only partial
ly filled. Next after ensilage as a milk
producer stands clover. 1t would pay our
OF nay. 1t is somewhat difficult to raise
crowded out by other grasses, yet if by
care it can be obtained it is a great
milk producer
Dried cats and peas are greatly relished
by stock if they have been well dried.
In regard to grain there is a vast differ
ence of opinion. My experience is that
tne cheapest feed We can use is gluten
parts by weight. that is, mixing 1Oo
pounds of each. and feeding according To
age, condition, flow Of milk. etc When
ever change from this feed my cows
drop on in milk. Some can make a great
success with cottonseed meal and if |
was making butter | should certainly
iced 1t. Gluten makes soft butter and If
plenty OF roughage is fed there seems to
quarts a day of cottonseed. but if fed
with first quality hay or clover bad re-
suits often follow.
Dry stock will winter well on swale or
meadow hay and plenty of wheat bran.
Dut Whatever is fed for grain or for
rouShage one of the greatest econO-
mixers is good care
"A warm barn ventilated so that the air
does not come directly upon the cattle is a
great food saver. The old idea that cold
air Is pure, and warm air is foul has long
since been exploded. But it is essential
that pure air be constantly supplied
Much of the tuberculosis so prevalent
among our stock is caused by lack of
ventilation in our barns. The card the
