'TOLST0Y ON ZEMSTVOS.
Russian Wrter Declares Increment
ObstrHCts True Progress.
LnY TEAEGRArM To 90 TnIsrNE. |

Philadelphia, Dee 4.-In a special cable mes
sage to 1.-THE Philadelphia North American"
Count Leo Tolstoy condemns the recent zemstvo
agitation in Russia eliminating in a demand
for constitutional government as obstructive of
real progress in the Cars dominion. The
North American" sent message to Count Toll
stoy asking his views on the meaning, scope
and probable rersult of the zemstvo movement.
In his reply. received to-day. the Russian author
philosopher says:
TouIa. Dec 8-The present political agitation
among the Russian people, resulting in direct
application to the Car by representatives OF
the zenstvos' aims to bring about a restriction
of The despOtism that now prevails and the es-
Enlistment Of representative government.
What the results of the movement will be can
not be foTeseen. The aspiration is not new the
expression is. The question seems to De thls:
'Will the leaders of the agitation achieve what
they desire, or anything approaching it, or will
their efforts eXpend themselves IN starting up
public protest without result?
THE country and the people too great.
and the gulf between the present government
and the people in some respects is too vast to
permit a sensible forecast at this time. but
declare that, whatever the outcome. one sure
result of the whole matter Will be to delay true
social amelioration. This movement, which is
hailed the dawning of a of liberty,
is but a new obstruction in the path OF true
progress. The real uplifting of people, socially
and gOvernmentally, be attained only
through religious and moral regeneration of all
the individuals constituting that people.
Political agitation, whether by peaceful propa-
ganda or appeals to existing powers of govern
ment, must have a fatal effect. 1t puts before
the nation and before individuals the pernicious
belief that social improvement can be wrought
by mere change of fOrms-that substitution of
different kind of government or amendment OF
the existing kind can accomplish reforms which,
to be effective and permanent. must begin with
the individual.
These movements, frequent i'm history and
so natural under the false teachings which have
branded humanity, invariably hinder real prog
ress toward peace. justice and love Constitu-
tOnal government is no cure for the evils that
affiict mankind. For proof of this, l point to
conditions in France, in England and in America.

ALFALFA FOR THE HOGS.
Good for Building Up the Frame of
Animals, But Should Be Fed
with Discretion.

There is no doubt that alfalfa is one
of the best foods that can be raised
for hogs. The cattle man has come to
appreciate the value of alfalfa, and
wherever he has been able to raise al
falfa he has done SO. He has recog-
nized it as cheap source of protein.
The hog raiser on the other hand is com
ing to realize only slowly that the hog
needs protein at all. He has come to
think Of the hog as an animal that needs
food that will make fat, and, as a re-
suit, we see little alfalfa growing on
the farm of the man that makes hog
raising one of the principal features of
his agriculture.
Alfalfa can be fed in the same way
IS clover is fed, with the exception
that it is not so readily pastured. AL
falfa may be pastured SO close that it
will only slowly revive from such treat
ment, while clover can be pastured close
and still come up quickly. But alfalfa
is good green food and is good when
dry. if it is cut up and mixed with soft
food or steamed
1t has been charged that too much
alfalfa makes a soft pork. but this is
the case only when the hogs are not
properly finished on grain. No one be-
lieves that feed like alfalfa should be
fed almost exclusively. It fsa good thing
to build up the frame of the animals;
but it does not provide enough car
hohydrates 70 make it serve the double
purpose Of a developed and fnisher.-

RAISE YOUR OWN HONEY.
No Farm Need or Should Be without
Few 1-Cared-For Hives
of Bees,

There is no reason why farmers
profitable lines, even if they have but a
few colonies. Bees, as kept on the farm
"a few colonies here and there, scat
tered in different Iocalities-ordinarily
do the best business. for they are not
overstocked as they are frequently ID
large apiaries. Almost double the
amount of honey can be obtained from
a colony thus situated, and bee-keep-
ing, as a rule, is much more profitable
it the bees are in proper shape to do
good work. The greatest mistake
farmers make. is that of limiting the
surplus boxes, thus not furnishing the
bees with enough surplus capacity.
The bees fill this limited space with
honey in few days at the beginning
Of the honey season and afterwards
turn their attention to sWarming, and
several sWarms will be the result in
stead of large honey yield. Farmers,
IN connection with their other work,
might as well reap hundreds of pounds
OF the finest honey instead of obtain

only give the bees plenty of storage
room. and promptly take the honey
| away as soon as completed. The rule
among small bee-keepers is to give but
a small surplus capacity in the spring,
and let this remain all summer to be
taken off in the fall. supposing that it
is an all summers job for the bees,
when in most cases this space is filled
| in week or two and allowed to re-
main in the hive all summer. which
| reduces it to a poor grade of honey as
well as a small amount Hundreds of
pounds Of frst-class honey might have
been obtained by giving a larger ca
pacity, and removing the honey as fast
as stored and completed Some local
tiles are better than others, and some
seasons are better than other seasons,

TO thus provide for the most at all

little forethought and work on the

grower, he could easily secure all the
honey necessary for his own use, and

TAR IN POULTRY HOUSES.
1T Is Very Valuable in Many Ways,
But More Especially as a Yer
min Exterminator

Poultry breeders seem to have failed
to discover the value of tar It is
very useful and valuable in many ways
Some breeders tar their poultry yard
fences in preference to whitewashing
them, says the Poultry World. though
we do not like to see it done for it gives
the surroundings such a gloomy, for
bidding look. It undoubtedly con-
tributes largely to the durability of the
of storm and time It is in the poultry
house. however, that the value Of tar
is the greatest, for it eonduees greatly
toward healthfulness. When that
scourge of the poultryman, cholera,
makes its appearance, we would advise.
first, thorough cleaning of the house:
next, a generous application of Carolina
tar on all the joints. cracks and creYices
of the inside of the building, and then
plenty of fresh whitewash properly ap-
piled The tar absorbs or drives away
the faint of disease, and makes the
premises wholesome The smell is not
offensive; in fact, many people like it,
ana ~ IS dlfsctly Opposite to aHheailHy.
To yermin, lice, etc. the smell Of tar
Is very repulsive. and but few will re-
main after you have tarred the cracks,
etc. A friend of ours was once troubled
with chicken cholera, and by adopting
the above in connection with removing
affected fowls, he soon put a stop to
the ravages. A small lump Of tar In the
drinking water supplied to the fowl will
be found beneficial. provided it Is the
Carolina tar. which is very different
from other kinds.
