civilization and the crudest barbarism
combined within its vast confines. 1t
Is Of its higher classes that one speaks
when one uses the word magnificent,
for there are portions Of the Russian
empire in which the inhabitants are
complete barbarians.
These splendid high-class Russlons
can teach the world all there Is to
know Of luxury, for in the compare
lively few decades since they became
as other European nations they have
learned to love the splendor Of fine
things, and no people on earth are

ly magnificent as these subjects Of
the Great White Gear. Their palaces
are the most superb in the world.
their jewels the most costly, Their
dress the most lavish and ornate.
Yet, even now, you scratch a Rus
sian and you find a Tartar, and even
this untamable Russian nature Is mag
nifcent.
The car is master of twelve vast
palaces which are his homes. and It
Is almost impossible to give an ade-
.Quate idea of the treasures of this
ruler of q splendid people, one 1.-THE
of which are as splendid and numer.
GUS as all other royal treasures Of
Europe put together, and the corona
ton crowns of the car and his con.
sort make all other coronets seem
mean and tawdry In comparison. That
of the car is surmounted by cross
formed of six matchless diamonds,
and this stands on single great
ruby. Arches Of perfect pearls sup
port the central part Of the crown,
and about the band for the brow are
twenty-eight huge diamonds. The
crown of the czarina is one solid mass
of diamonds, hundreds Of them Of the
purest sort.
A court function in Russia sur
passes in pomp and grandeur anything
else of the sort in the world, and the
barbaric splendor of the interiors
where these same festivities are held
is more like something from the

twentieth century has to offer. No

LIST, In Russia the cereal crop prospects
have considerably improved even in
regions where conditions at the be-
ginning of spring were unfavorable. In
Germany there has been great i'm
ptovement In all the winter cereals,

good medium harvest of spring sown
crops is to be expected. Hungary's
output will fall considerably below
that Of 1902, the deficiency In the case

POULTRY
Marketing Poultry Products.


Poor poultry products are seldom
marketed with profit. It costs just as
much to express certain number of
stale eggs as 1t does fresh ones. The
charges are just a. great on barrel
of inferior fowls as on the quality that
will take the top of the market. Many
of the other expenses Of transport are
the same for poor as for good quail
ity. This fact must not be lost sight
of IN the conduct Of poultry raising
operations. The quantity OF first-class
products on the market Is now greater
than ever before, and the people that
want only good poultry and eggs are
having less trouble than ever before to
get them. The immediate result is
that the poor stuff sells at a still lower
price in the market, and its tendency
is downward. The shippers OF inferior
products frequently complain that the
money received for their consignments
is not enough to pay cost Of producing
and selling, to say nothing of profits.
This condition is likely to be intensi-
fed as skill in poultry culture in.
creases. In the marketing Of poultry.
Il is worth the while of the seller to
thoroughly understand the practices OF
some of the dealers in poultry. Most
Of these will make honest returns
when they are selling on commission,
but there are some that do not. In
quite a number of instances COM
mission men have been caught
In what they call averaging
up." That is they add to.
gether all they have received on all
the consignments and divide the re-
ceipts according to the quantity sold.
Thus, IL Mr.. Jay, the commission man,
sells 100 pounds Of Smiths turkeys
for $1,000 and 100 pounds of Browns
turkeys for $500, he makes a return
of $500 to each man. By this practice,
Mr.. Brown gets $500 that belongs to
Mr.. Smith, and the latter gentleman
gets no pay whatever for sending to
market product very superior to that
sent by Mr.. Brown. The excuse of the
commission man for this practice Is
that 1t prevents kicking" as Mr..
Smith does not know that he has been
robbed, and Mr.. Brown Is well pleased
at the amount received for his very or
binary product. It Is, however, q prac-
tice that is essentially detrimental to
the business Of the intelligent poultry.

Hog Pasture.


It Is not safe or even desirable to
rely upon single crop to furnish pas.
ture for our hogs throughout the en-.
tire season. 1t is better to arrange for
a succession Of pastures from the be.
ginning Of the season until the hogs
are ready for market, making the feed
richer and more concentrated toward
the close of the season, and as we ap-
proach the finishing Of fattening pc.
Rod. For this purpose the following
crops are recommended: Red clover
or alfalfa. rape. cowpeas, soy beans.
On lands adapted to alfalfa 1t will
undoubtedly prove to be better for
hogs than red clover, inasmuch as It
will produce a larger quantity Of feed
of a somewhat higher value. Inas.
much az we have not yet learned to
grow alfalfa successfully on the ma
jority Of our upland clay soils, we
shall be forced to rely chiefly upon
clover. 1t starts earlier in the spring
than any hog pasture we have except.
ing alfalfa, and would therefore be
used first, and should be used as long
as 1t is succulent and palatable. Usu.
ally not later than the middle of June
the crop will have become so mature
that the hogs will relish change for
the time being, and the surplus clover
should be cut and removed, SO as to
allow the second or fall crop to start

Cow Peas and Soy Beans.

SoW Feds ana soy scans.
Many farmers In Illinois, especially
In the central and northern sections
OF the state are not familiar with the
COW pea and soy bean. In some parts
OF southern Illinois COW peas are
grown extensively, and where tho
value of this crop Is known It consti.
tutes one Of the chief forage crops.
Soy beans are Of more recent intro
duction, and this crop is not 80 well
known as COW peas. In some cases
farmers have given one or both of
these crops trial, but through the
use OF varieties not adapted to their
climate, unsatisfactory results have
been obtained, and consequently they
have pronounced these plants un-
suited to Illinois conditions. Others
have been more successful In their
growth, and find them worthy of a
prominent place in the rotation. As q
matter Of fact, both crops have been
grown In this state long enough and
to such an extent that they have
passed beyond the purely experiment.

ready considered as important factors
in Illinois agriculture.
The cow pea is a native of south.
eastern China, and the soy bean Of
Japan. Being semitropical in origin.
both plants are naturally best suited
to warm climate, and the introduce

farther north since its introduction,
consequently there is no question as
to the adaptability of both crops to
the soil and climate Of Illinois. How
ever, there are varieties grown In the
south which are not suitable for this
state, and will not mature II planted

the successful culture of these crops,

From the Farmers Review: The
Eorking fowl is one of the Oldest

worth is fully known, they will be far
more popular than they are to-day.
have always been a great admirer
OF the Dorking, even-when a boy they
were my first fowls in England. Why?
In the first place they are the best
table fowl on earth on account OF
their large full breast and long bod
les, and anyone who has ever eaten
them will vouch for what say, ana
II you do not believe 1t you take a
hen that weighs pounds or over.
and there are lots that weigh over,
and roast It and you will say the
same thing, for the meat is very
white and juicy and Of fine flavor.
The young mature early and that Of
course makes them very profitable
for the farmer or broiler plant, and
they find ready sale, especially among
people who know what they are. They
do not lay as many eggs as some
breeds, but II they were sold by
weight they would not be far behind
the best, as their eggs are large and
they are good winter layers. They
are hardy and will stand confinement
well and do not need such a high
fence as most other breeds, owing to
their weight. They are very tame,
also good sitters, and / have never
known one to leave her nest; they
are the best of mothers and will de-
fend their brood until the last. And
lastly, when you come to beauty,
what looks nicer than flock of Sil.
Per Gray Dorkings with their stately
male and beautifully marked females.
1t is a sight long to be remembered.

get sitting of eggs from some good
breeder and you will never regret 1t.
