REFORMS MAY BE HELD UP.
Martial Law, as Enforced, Would
Deprive Russian People of Benefits.

MARTIAL Law, as ENFORCED, Woulo
Deprive Russian People of Benefits.
st. Petersburg-Even the harshesl
opponents of the administration are
agreed as to the great importance Of
The imperial ukase issued recently,
which annulled the most burdensome
and irritating restrictions imposed on
The peasantry as a special class and
embodied into law reforms which had
been urged by government commits
sions and unofficial critics of the gov
eminent for over two decades. Though
he ukase was promulgated under the
constitutional provision for temporary
laws. il is in effect an organic reform
affecting four of the most important
features of the Russian system, name
iy, the special pass regulations for the
peasantry, the hated rule by local ad-
ministrative officials, known as rural
superintendent, the administrative
control of zemstvo elections, and lin
itations on the right of peasants to
change their avocation and residence.
The peasant, who, under the old
system, ordinarily was without pass
and could leave his village only by
obtaining permission for a limited
lime. a renewal of this regulation be
ing contingent upon the assent Of the
commune and the payment of all com
munal obligations, is now given reg
ular pass, which permits him to
change his residence freely in Russia.
This ukase. however. is subject to
several important limitations. one of
which is the notification of most Of
its provisions by the exceptional con
ditions of reinforced and extraordi-
nary security and martial law prevail
ing in the greater part of Russia. I'M
der which discretionary punishment
may still be inflicted by simple admin
istrative orders; the regular pass sys-
TEN is subject to a mass OF burden
5ome restrictions. The purpose of the
PRONUNCIATION of the ukase now is ad-
mittedly for political effect on the
elections.

Bulletin No. GA Of the Department
OF Agriculture says OF the Crested
White duck:
The Crested White duck is what may
be called an ornamental duck. much the
same as Polish chickens. They are
not bred to any great extent In this
country, and they are very seldom seen
In the showrooms. They have no es-
pecial value to the farmer, as better
and more easily bred birds are to be
found in the Pekin and Aylesbury.
These ducks have a medium-sized

PROFITS of Middremen.

Consumers OF fruits and vegetable
In large cities are charged high prices
by the hucksters and grocers. In Chi
eago peaches are selling retail for thir-
ty-fve or forty cents for a small basket
containing about twenty to twenty five
peaches; other fruits and vegetables in
proportion. II would be interesting to
farmers to know just how much Of this
Is booked as profits. Farmers get no
such prices; in fact they are lucky II
they get one-third OF the prices now
prevailing In Chicago. Either some
class Of handlers Is making exorbitant
profits or there Is an unnecessary ex-
pense attached to the business Of dis
tribution. 1t costs money to handle
produce. 1t requires storage. horses
and men. and none Of these things are
cheap in the city, but there is no good
reason why the consumer should pay
three hundred per cent profit on what
the farmers sell.-Farm, Field and
Fireside.

A splendid wheat Crop.

Chicago, covering the Mississippi Val
ley, and few OF the more Important
States of the Pacific coast, says, In
part: f.,
"rhe wheat crop Of 1906 will be
among the largest and best ever pro-
duced. The yield not only will be
great, but the weight and quality will
be far beyond the ordinary. In these
respects 1t may be considered nearly
perfect. The period Of uncertainty is
closing rapidly and the crop may now
be called practically out OF danger.
The yield Of soft winter wheat is large,
quality the finest and movement free.
Inasmuch as this movement has begun
early and all grains are now nearly or
quite on an export basis with the ten
dency Of prices downward), a large ex-
port business may be expected"

Weight is the main object Of the
farmer In fattening stock for market,
and this weight is easiest obtained by
feeding corn in order to produce fat.
Farmers have long been taught by ex-
perience that fat Is a desirable quality,
and that 1t adds to the attractiveness
Of a carcass on the stall. 1t has been
demonstrated at the experiment sta
tons, however, that the weight can be
secured at less cost with a greater pro-
portion Of lean interspersed with the
fat, by feeding heterogeneous ration.
which means that, In addition to a lib
eral supply Of corn, an animal should
receive a variety Of food that is not so
rich In oil. starch and sugar as Is corn.
This fact Is worthy OF consideration.
