FINLAND AND THE BALKANS.

rbe RaIkan States have received fair warn
inc from Russia that they had better Keep the
peace If they do begin war with lurAes'
they are told Russia will not raise mana ~
save them from the sound tnrasnlng whien
Turkey will be sure to give them Inc WARNING
NAV or may not be needed, and the promise, Oh
throat, Of Russia may or may not be fulfilled
1t does not escape memory that one DAY IN io''
fhe Russian Car formally declared that he had
no intention, expectation or design of going to
war. and yet within twenty -four hours there
after his armies were actually on the march
toward Constantinope. History has been known
to repeat itself even in Russia
Meantime. any professed Russian socitude
for the welfare of the oppressed Christians OF
Macedonia receives a fine gloss from Russlas s
action in the Grand Duchy Of Finland. Her
conquest of that rightfully independent country
proceeds apace with an arbitrary determlna-
ton which rivals that of the Tribe OF Othman
Some time ago the young men OF Finland were
summoned, in contraventlon OF their cohsutu-
ton to enlist in the Russian army. Ihe great
majority of them declined, or failed TO OBEY,
the summons Thereupon the Russian Govern
ment arbitrarily dismissed the Governors OF
Finnish provinces and put Cossacks IN their
places. Last year one Of the Cossack Govern
ors acted in what was deemed an illegal nah-
ner and proceedings were consequently lhsutu-
ted against him in the courts. Now the RUSSIAN
Government has arbitrarily dismissed the
judges and other officials Of the court IN demon
stration of the fact that the will of Cossack
general is superior to mere law.
With this example Of the invasion and op-
preston of free and Independent Christian
State in the North, it is not easy to see how
Russia can consistently be much concerned over
ich of
doniap brigandage in the South, or even over
actual Turkish oppression of Christians in the
Balkans. But perhaps Russia does not consider
the Firms to be Christians, seeing that they are
Lutherans and not adherents of the Holy Synod
Perhaps, too she agrees with Emerson in hold
ing that consistency is something with which
great mind has nothing to do

CLOVER FOR POULTRY.
Why 1t should Become an EsS entiaI
Part of Every Ration Fed to
the Chickens.

Experience has demonstrated the
value Of clover for egg producing time
and again. Glover has just the ma
terial in it to form eggshell, says the
Massachusetts Ploughman, and hence
it becomes an essential part of every
ration fed to the chickens. 1T may not
be generally understood that there are
nearly 80 pounds of lime contained in
each 1000 pounds Of clover. The chick
ems fed daily with clover will cOnse-
quently prove better egg-layers than
those denied it. The clover hay should
be given to chickens in winter in guam
titles sufficient to satisfy them, and to
make them eat more it is desirable
sometimes to prepare it in various
ways. Cook and chop it up, and mix
it with meal and other articles. This
will sometimes induce the hens to con-
sumo a great amount of clover every
day. Cut up into short lengths and
mix with warm mash and then feed
only as fast as the chickens Will clean
it up each day, is probably the most
economical way to feed the clover. Some
cut the second crop Of clover and place
it in the poultry yard for the chickens
to eat and scratch over at pleasure.
This of itself is all right, but it is
rather wasteful. More than half of
the clover Will be lost, and the chickens
do not actually eat more than the
leaves. The stalks contain most of
the lime, and these should be prepared
so the chickens will consume them. OF
all foods that can be raised on a farm
for poultry clover is not only the best,
but probably the cheapest, and a field
of it is an essential to success as a
pasture field is necessary to the success
of dairying.

ARTIFICIAL COLONIES.
of Controlling che Desired In
crease of Bees.

There has always been rather diff
cult problem in controlling increase of
bees, and also in making artificial
swarms or colonies by any method that
will give as good returns as natural
swarms. a method that has been re-
Gently practiced to quite an extent,
seems to have come near the desired eff
feet, ana swarms made on this plan
have, as a general thing. given as good
results as natural swarms. The honey
producer as a rule does not want
swarms. or increase of colonies, for in
crease thus is always at the expense
Of the honey crop, writes \. II. Duff,
in Kansas Farmer. But owing to very
close attention it takes to keep down
swarming, which the apiarist has not
always time to give, especially when
he is running several apiaries at diff
ferent locations, it turns out that he
loses many good swarms of bees in his
absence, which means a heavy loss to
the honey crop. If he could arrange
to have all his colonies to swarm on
one and the same day, he would not
object so strongly to swarms. The
plan hit upon is about the same thing.
Perhaps ii is a little ahead. 1t is called
SHOOK swarmS." When the hives be-
come strong and nearing the swarm
ing point, the apiarist opens them up
and takes out the frames and the bees
are shaken off into new hive, and
enough only are left in the old hive to
take care of the young brood in the
combs. The new hive is prepared to
receive the bees as a hive would be to
receive any swarm. The bees are well
smoked before shaking, so that they
are well filled with honey as in nat
ural swarming, and the colony thus
formed is composed of classes of bees
The same as Il natural swarm, being
held-workers, cOmb-builders and nurse
bees. They are thus left to the old
stand to begin work anew, and they do
1t with as much vigor and in the same
businesslike manner as natural
swarms. This satisfies the bees in the
line of swarming seemingly, the same
as in natural swarming.
