Rostoff-on.D Don, Russia, March IA
With the advance of spring there are
symptoms OF a temperance of agrar-

in Stavropol province the peasants
are refusing to plough the land for the
proprietors and indefinite reports from
other provinces show that the peas
ants are bodily selling and sowing
the estates Of the landowners. 1t is
too early, however, to determine how
serious and general the movement will
become.

Growing More Oats

after experimenting 10 years
has prepared a bulletin on oats
that every Alaba ma farmer
should send for. To present a
general idea of the main points
contained therein, the following
summary of the bulletin is Civ.
en-. The oat may be made a
much more profitable crop than
it now is provided farmers will
make the two following innova-
tons: % Sowing in the early
or middle fall. 81 Applying
nitrate Of soda as a top dressing
in March, or sowing on land
where a soil.im proving crop like
cow peas has recently grown.
The tests showed little differ
cnce in the yields Of Red Rust
Proof, Appler, and Culbertson
when sown in fall. Sown after
Christmas. the Burt or May oats
averaged : per cent. less grain
than did the Red Rust Proof
variety. Turf or Grazing oats
sown in November afforded only
81 per cent. as much grain as
Red Rust Proof oats. The or
der Of ripening of the principal
varieties sown ia the fall was
Burt. Red Rust Proof. aud
Turf.
Red Rust Proof may be dis
tinguished from other varieties
com monty grown in the South
by the long boards which are
usually present on both grains.
by the brownlsh yellow color, by
the plumpness of the gram. and
still more positively by the
greater length OF the tiny hairs
or bristles at the base Of the
lower grain. Red Rust Proof
and related varieties (Appler
and Culbcrtson) constitute the
best general purpose type OF
oats for this region, being suita-
bic for either fall or February
sowing and having sitter straw
and greater rust-rcsistance than
any other variety tested. The
Burt oat synonym May oat) is
chic fly valuable for its earlincss,
and hence for sowing rather late
in spring. When sown in No.
vember it was almost complete.

cd the mild winter Of 1905 %.
Winter killing may be greatly
reduced and the crop almost in

part of the cotton belt.
The average Of experiments
OF seven years shows that Red
oats sown 10 November produc-
ed ll.5 bushels more per acre
than when sown in February.
This is - per cent. in favor OF
fall sowing, a profit Of $5.os ex-
ira per acre. October is ad.
vised for fall sowing, the first
few days of February for spring
sowing in this latitude.
Oats sown in deep burrows

were almost completely filed.

Self Reliance.

Nothing better could happen to the
young man. who has the right kind
of spirit, than to be thrown upon the
world and his own resources, DR.. sam
uel Smiles has written. a Weii-'o-do
judge once gave his son $1,000 and told
him to go to college and graduate.
The son returned at the END OF the
first year, his money all gone, and with
several eXtravagant habits. At the
close of the vacation the judge said to
his son:
well, William, are you going to col
lege this year,
Il have no money, father
But I gave you 81 900 TO graduate
on"
1T is all gone, father"
VERY well, my son, it is all l could
give you; you can't stay here; you
must now pay your own way in the
world
A new light broke in upon the vision
of the young mae. Ne accommodated
himself to the situation; again left
home. made his way through college,
graduated at the head OF his class,
studied law, became governor OF the
State of New York, entered the Cab
met of the President OF the United
States, and has made record that
will not soon die, for he was none
other than William H. Seward.

BEES IN AN AQUARIUM.

Everybody is curious TO see beez
actually at work.
Take a rectangular glass aquarium
and place it on a window sill, elevat.
ed slightly at the side nearest the
window, SO that when the latter il
raised an inch the bees may pass
in and out. Ii desired, the bees may
be kept for some time in confinement,
by raising the aquarium an inch on
blocks and using strip of wire screen
cloth to prevent the bees from es.
Gaping.
When confined, the bees should be
fed a syrup OF equal parts of sugar
and water. A frame or two of bees
may be purchased for trifing sum
Put within this glass aquarium some
rustic supports to represent project
ing, undecayed portions of the inside
of the hollow trunk. Keep all cover.
ed by an Opaque cloth when not OBJ.
serving what is going on within this
glass bee home.
Then the bees will be free to work,
and to adapt themselves to the en-.
vironment. They can suit their own
fancy about attaching combs to the
sticks; they may build diagonally or
in any other form that they may pre-.
fer. and they nay attach the comb
to sides or ends just when and where
they think it is necessary
In tho artificial hjvoc fbe, or,o,},c
attached only at the edges. but in
natural conditions within the bee
tree or in it's counterpart. as repre-
sented by the Old-fashioned box hive
with Opaque sides and in our trans
parent inverted aquarium. the bees
can build combs and attach them in
any way that they see fit.
One of the most interesting objects
for study is to note when the bees
think 1t necessary to put out side
support from long comb. They |
seem to believe that they are really |
within a hollow tree, and that it is
likely to be swayed by the gales. Of |
course, when Sc swayed long combs
iduCA Will OE Will young DSSS
would be too much for the unyielding
rigidity of the upper part of the
combs. These, if they had no side
stays, would bend, crack and be
crushed against each other.
The bees have learned this, and give
he combs firm support, whenever
t Is necessary. They do this, it IS

until one of the miners shares his
