RUSSIAN STRIKE LEADERS
URGE PEOPLE TO arm

St. Petersburg, Nov. l3.-The strike
leaders after lengthy conference,
which lasted until O'Clock this morn
ing. drafted an appeal calling on all
citizens to arm in defense OF their
homes and families.
The delegates to the Union Of Unions
decided to again stop all traffic be.
tween Warsaw and St. Petersburg, and
orders to that effect were issued.
All workmen have been commanded
to work not more than eight hours a
day beginning this morning, and. the
situation is generally grayer.
Sunday passed quietly. No excuses
are reported from any part of the city,
but the Jews are still apprehensive.
The threatened mob rising was too
extensively advertised to have been
successful, even if it had begun. AS
a precautionary measure the foreign
residents and Jews had armed them
selves and would have put up desper.
ate fight against an organized gang.
Advices from the south Of Russia
show that the Jews are leaving the
cities there by thousands. Parts Of
Kishineff, Nicolef and Odessa are liz.
orally depopulsted. All Jews having
sufficient funds are arranging to re-
move their families to England and
America, many Of them abandoning
prosperous projects rather than risk
another reign Of terror.
Martial law having been proclaimed
throughout Poland, regiment after reg.
iment Of troops. upon whom the car
believes he can depend, are now being
rushed on special trains to put down
the movement for freedom in that ar.
dent kingdom.
Should the citizens continue to de-
mand that autonomy be granted them,
the next few days will witness scenes
of massacre and bloodshed such as
have not been witnessed since the last
general uprising for free Poland"
Censorship Revived.
The censorship is again very active,
and all messages from Warsaw show
plainly that they have been tempered

has taken advantage of the amnesty

Destructiveness Of Bugs.

The potato bug, the premier de-
stroyer of farm products in prairie
days, holds the insignificant place Of
fifteenth on the Department of Agri-
culture list of destruction. Only S.
100000 of loss is charged up to the
potato bug, against S15,000000 to the
army worm, ignored by photographers
and neglected by crop reporters. The
boil weevil is admitted to cost the
country $20,O00,O00 a year and the Hes
sian fly S40,000000 These are por-
tentous figures of destruction. but they
lack the customary hall mark Of the
official agricultural list-they are not
exact. Forty million dollars of loss to
crops from the Hessian fly every year
is less convincing than this would be:
1895, SIC, 543. 81 is the total loss report
ed by the Department Of Agriculture
from the ravages of the Hessian fly"
The San Jose scale is marked down, so
to speak. in damage doing to $4,000
600. and the codling moth oVertops this
figure with a total loss of $4,000 600.
As was to be expected the mild-ap-
pearing grasshopper does not escape
the notice of the agriculturists. A loss
of S50OOO.OO0 a year is charged to this
foe of farmers. The chinch bug out
does even the grasshOpper. Sixty mil
lion dollars a year is the loss caused
bv the chinch bug. The figures of the
Washington experimental farmers foot
up nearly S3O0,o00.0oo year loss from
bugs and insects. not including beetles,
crickets, flies and New Jersey mos
quitoes.-New YorE sun.

Feedinc Dry Cows.

Each year adds to my belief that
many COW troubles at time of parturi-
ton could be avoided if they were
properly fed, says II. f. Cook in Ma
tiOnal Stockman. There seems to be a
general satisfactory feeling that if the
COW gives no milk, any feed will do.
If there is any time of year when
properly adjusted feed is necessary, it
is during the six weeks when dry. This
is about the right length of time for
rest. 1 have heard dairymen say many
times, Il feed grain just as soon as
they begin making bag" What is the
result? Why, the drain upon the sys-
tenn had already begun to be more than
the feed could supply, and the owner
tried to reverse the lever so quickly
and catch up in two weeks what should
have occupied six that a feverish con-
dition is produced, and then any and
all things hard to manage are likely
to happen. If these cows had been fed
without stopping, not as much, Of
course, but say two to four pounds of
bran or mill feed or oats daily, there
would have been muscle and nerve
without fever or Indigestion, and ev-
erything would have gone without fric-
tion

\. o. Scott who lives in the town
OF Atlanta, about six miles north of
Bruce, disappeared Oct. - and has not
been seen since. Friday evening he was
at neighbours and, it being dark, he
borrowed lantern when he went home.
Nothing was seen of him Saturday or
Sunday. and Monday neighbors went
TO the house. They found the door
open and the borrowed lantern broken
and the pieces scattered about the floor.
\ revolver was found containing one
empty shell. On closer examination Il
bullet hole was found in the wall and
the bullet was found lodged in a box

known to belong to Scott could not be
found. There We're blood stains on the
floor. but it has not been determined
whether it is human blood or not The
neighbOrs say that Scott had previously
reported that he had been shot at. Some
time ago Scott had the saloonkeepers of
Bruce arrested for violating the Sunday
closing law. Later Scott was arrested
for having deer hides in his possession
during the closed season. Scott claimed
that the hides did not belong to him. He
said they were on the premises when
he bought the place last spring. He
had span of horses and eighteen head
of cattle. These were found turned
loose

Fc edinC Corn Fodder.

In the States where the corn crop is
large much of it goes to needless
waste, which with a little care might
be made to add to the farm profits
The Wasteful plan Of throwing it in
great stacks to the animals, leaving
them to eat what they will and tram
pie the rest under foot cannot be prof
liable, no matter how large the corn
crop one has at command. To get the
most from the corn fodder. if it is not
in the form of Silage, it should be cut
or shredded, preferably the latter. OF
course, in some sections perhaps this
may not be done with profit, but 1t
may be cut even in the old-fashioned
cutter and pay for the labor The time
to feed the corn fodder to best adj
vantage is early in the season, and
simply because after midwinter it has
lost much of its feeding value and the
cows fail to do well on it and tire of
the sameness. The other materials
used for roughage can be saved until
later in the winter and in the spring.
The corn fodder may be made more
appetiZing by feeding small ration Of
root crops. although the bulk Of the
roots should be saved for later feeding
when the cows become more anxious
for green food

Lime Necessary for Alfalfa

1t is safe to say that alfalfa cannot
be grown successfully unless the soil
is well lined. There are many fields
to-day that are yellow and sickly sole
~ for the want of lime, and this is
the only bar to success where a par
tial growth has been successful. There
is the usual idea concerning alfalfa
that obtains with almost all plants
that can be easily grown, that is that
Ito use the slang of the day. "any old
soil will do Alfalfa is too valuable
a crop to lose sight of, and it is worth
all the time it will take to study it's
habits and for experimenting To be-
gin with, see that the soil is not sour,
and to be certain of that use the litmus
test, given in this department many
times, and if needed, apply to the soil
at the rate of one or more tons an
acre, as necessary, and do it for at
least two years before the ground is to
be used for alfalfa. 1t will pay to
spend this time in learning about the
needs of the plant and preparing the
soil for it.

Mu1ching the Orchard.

The use of the grass or weeds grown
in the orchard for mulching the trees
is along the line of the sod in the or
chard idea, and its use for the benefit
of the trees, and especially the young
trees, is to be recommended during
the summer, but decidedly not during
the winter when there is snow on the
ground, for it would be but a winter
shelter for the mice. who would inn
prove the opportunity to gnaw the ten
der bark of the trees. We make it our
business to go over the young Or
chards in the late fall and hoe away
from around each tree for a distance
of three feet or more all of the vege-
table growth of any nature. Just be-
fore the ground freezes the soil about
each tree is packed down hard, and
after the first heavy fall of snow, at
a season when it is assumed that win
ter has fairly set in, we pack this
snow down firmly. In most years it
freezes and forms a protection to the
tree from vermin, yet does the tree no
harm.

EnsiIage Good for Feeding.

Prof. Whitcomb says: The health
fulness of silage for sheep is a mat

so a test was undertaken at the Ore

five breeding ewes and 4 ram. They
were fed with all the steamed vetch

about . pound of oats per head per
day in addition. During the forty
eight days of the test the sheep gained
122 pounds, consuming Cos pounds of

AntitoxIn Against Fatigue.

Should the development of the study
of toxins and antitoxinS render posi-
BILE the production of an antibody
capable of neutralizing the results of
muscular fatigue, the consequences
could hardly be predicted, says the
Medical Record. Yet a German in
vestigator seriously claims TO have
taken more than one step in this di-
rection already and publishes results
that are at least surprising.
Weichardt O1unchener Medizinische
Wochenschrift, Nov. %, 1900 says he
has obtained a stable antttoxin. which,
when taken by the mouth in moderate
doses, permits the output of an in
creased amount of muscular energy
without fatigue, aud when taken con
tinuously causes a sense Of genertl bien
etre and augments the capacity for
work. He commends his preparation
to clinicians as a promising analephc
for convalescents, Inconsistencies. etc.
This fatigue an6toXin is obtained from
horses by injecting them with faHSue
