had ever seen the Wilson girl. He
admitted having visited Dunn's place,

WON'T DESTROY FINLAND.
Russia simply Wants It's Sovereign
ty Recognized.


St Petersburg, June 26.-The As
sociated Press is able to announce au-
thoritatively from NJ. Plehve. Minis
ter of the Interior, that there is no in
tention ON the part of the Russian
government to place upon the Finnish
people the responsibility for the assas-
sination of Governor General Bobrikoff
by Eugene Schaumann.
The minister believes that the crisis
in the relations of Finland and Rus
sia has been passed and that the Grand
Duchy will recognize that its interest
and those of Russia mutually demand
closer ties.
1t is far from Russias wish, as 1t
would be contrary to her interests, the
minister says, to destroy Finland,
which has history and traditions of
its own. All that Russia wants is the
recognition by Finland of Russias su-
premacy.

10 4 PAYS 10 KEEP X oks,


Poultry keepers who for tho nrst time
begin keeping an account with their
fowls careful record Of the outgo and
income are apt to DO somewhat sur
prised q the end Of the year. With
some the surprise may DO very agree
able. while with others It may be tho OPP
poGte. At any rate, It Ii apt to re-
suit IN some changes for the better. II
the balance Is on the right side and
the owner IL well satisfied, Il IL like
" to encourage him to do Z little bet
ter the next year. If the books foot up
against him, hs will probably make an
enort to improve matters, either by
giving moro attention to the hens, or
BY going out Of the business entirely.
The latter, no doubt, would be the most
sensible for some. will tell Of ! farm
er's wife who decided that 1t would
be better to know exactly what the
mems were bringing in: so three years
ago she procured q poultry and egg
record book for the purpose, and she
has learned by this bookkeeping that
ner Leghorns lay about 120s eggs per
year, the weight Of the eggs being more
than four times tho hens own weight,
which 10 about three and !one-quarter
pounds, She has learned the value Of
the feed given the hens, and says that
the cost Of eggs produced In her yards
ls three and one-half cents in the sum-
mer and i've cents per dozen In the
winter: These fowls are given better
care than the average farm flock gets,
yet no special pains has been taken with
them. only good all-round care. The
point to impress upon those who keep
poultry Is this: If this person had not
kept an account with her fowls she
would not have known what they were
turning In, and it would be dimcult
70 make others around her believe that
her hens were doing 50 well except for
those figures in BLACK and white"
Even In . poor market this woman
would clear more than q dollar per head
on her hens. But there are great
many people who are keeping poultry
VINO are not doing this; no, they are
not even making both ends meet" but
they don't know it. Then there are
others who say that the hens don't nay
Tor their keep, and are a nuisance, when
II they really knew what they were
talking about, they would find the hens
the most profitable stock on the place.
But these are matters that cannot be
definitely determined without keeping
q book account with the fowls. Many
people dislike to be bothered setting
anything down; they prefer to let things
go on, and guess at the profit or loss.
The ones that make the most money, no
matter what they are doing, are those
who have 2 system for carrying on their
business. | They have things in the
proper place. and when eggs are gath
cred It takes less than a minute to ret
down the number brought In. When
the eggs or poultry are soil It il not
much trouble to put down the amount
received, and at the end Of the year It Is
not much bother to foot it all up, but It
is interesting all the way through. Don't
take my word for It; try it for one year.
