The Russian governments repres-
sive campaign against the Liberal
press, to prevent hostile criticism Of
the dissolution Of the parliament and
the new electoral law, continues Wig
orously. Dispatches from many cities
report that papers have been fined
$500 up to $4,000. The radical papers
have been suppressed entirely.
A most appalling automobile acci-
dent occurred at Caianello, Italy, five
men being killed. The motor car,
which was going at high speed, ran
into a rock and was demolished.
Among the killed was Prince Pescara,
a member of the italian nobility and
related to the Spanish royal house.
It now appears that the mutiny Of
the Russian Black sea fleet, consisting
of eight battleships, eight cruisers
and a division of torpedo boats, whose
crews in all number 5000 men, was
discovered just in time to prevent the
planned bombardment of Odessa and
the Caucasian coast towns.
The surprise Of the second session
Of the peace conference at The Hague
was the formal reservation by Gen
eral Borace Porter on behalf of the
United States of the right to present
the question of limitation of arma-

Details of the mutiny of sappers at
Kiev, Russia, show that it was sup
pressed only after bloody engage
ment between the mutineers and loyal
troops, in which about seventy men
were killed or wounded.

Former Judge Loving on Stand
in Virginia Murder Case.
TELLS OF KILLING YOUNG MAN
Court Permits Defendant to Repeat
the Stories Related to Him of His
Daughters Alleged Druggng and

the Stories Related to Him of His
Daughters Alleged Drugging and
the Latter's Confession.
Houston, Va, June 26.-The trial of
former Judge Loving, charged with
the murder of Theodore Estes, was
resumed during the day. At the ad-
journment of court the previous after
noon the defendant had just begun to
relate conversation with his brother
in-law, Harry Sneed, who told him of
the alleged drugging of his daughter,
which led to the killing, when the at
torneys for the prosecution objected
on the grounds that Judge Loving's
statement would be hearsay evidence.
After arguments on the admissibility
of the conversation Judge Harllsdale
rendered his opinion, which allowed
Judge Loving to relate the conversa-
ticn with Sneed, which the witness
did.
Continuing, the witness related his
daughters story as told to him. How
Estes had given her liquor; that she
became unconscious and did not know
what had happened. When asked if
Estes had assaulted her she said Estes
had forced himself upon her and she
had only a faint recollection.
''This revelation came to me as a
thunderbolt from a clear sky" said
the witness. II loved my daughter
and no power on earth could have re-
strained my hands," ..
The witness began to weep when he
came to the part of the statement
about his love for his daughter.
Continuing, the witness declared he
Immediately secured his shotgun and
locating Estes promptly shot and
killed him. ...
Miss Elizabeth Loving took the
stand at the afternoon session of
court and told her story of being
drugged and assaulted by Estes. 1t
was pitiful recital, during which
she and her relatives broke down and
wept bitterly.

QUEEN RAISING.

An English bee expert, Mr.. sladen.

between the combs some distance
from the top by the stout wire shaft,
the bent portion of which rests on the
top-bar of one of the frames. The

MORE sTock-LEss CORN.
Method by Which Soil Can Be Kept In
Good State Of Fertility.

Years of experience have taught me
that the wise farmer is he who keepa
his land up to the highest notch OF Ter
tility, if not by one means, then an.
other. There are many different ways
to accomplish this, and the plan for
each man to follow is the one that
gives best results, with material at
hand, at least expense.
Here in Southwestern Iowa, writes
the correspondent Of Farmers Voice,
it is not necessary to buy fertilizers
that are sold in the markets. Most
farmers keep at least few head OF
stock, and the wise man is he who
doubles the number of head of stock
and divides his acres of corn. II he
will then judiciously and systematical-
ly go about building up his land (sup-
posing it has run DOWN, his income
would very soon double.
Every man must study his soil, and
if he has knowledge of chemistry
so much the better; but for the ordi-
nary farmer, l first recommend seed
ing down old worn out land to clover.
using plenty of seed, and in three or
four years blowing the clover under
deep and seeding some other part of
his farm to the same.
So many farmers have the idea that
they must have from 60 to so acres
hay or pasture. The corn will aver
age say 40 bushels. where If they had
half the number of acres and made
it yield 70 bushels, they would be the
gamers; then seed the balance to hny.
Timothy, clover and alfalfa bring al
ways a good price, and If the farmer
will keep hogs and cattle enough to
feed this crop to, put every ounce of
manure on the land where it is most
needed every year or two, blowing up
a new piece and seeding down, there
is not the least doubt but that his
bank account will double.
Farmers that live on leased land
cannot follow this method and move
every year, but it is to the interest
of both landlord and tenant to stay
on the same place as long as possible
and also to bring the 1and up to the
highest productiveness.
There is no more simple plan to
follow for the average farmer than
crop rotation. If we see fielG

A Fish Story,

Trout protection! NONSENSE" said
gunner OF local eminence. Trout
are amply able to protect themselves.
Look at their depredations among
ducks, for example, and you will agree
with me that it's the birds that need
protection. It's a common thing for a
trout to jump from the water seize a
duck by the neck. drag the unfortunate
fowl into the depths sufficiently to
leave its feet sticking in the air. where
1t can get no purchase upon the uni
verse, and thus drown it. Then the
trout picks the feathers from the bird,
eats it at its leisure and swims away
out of the Jurisdiction OF the courts.
Are there any fishermen? None? TOO
bad. This would be match for one

equestriennes.

Mrs. Williams, dress out and out like
men. They wear long coat cut like
. hunting coat, cap, riding breeches
and top boots. 1t is handsome cog

doubtedly it attracts good deal oil
attention. They have been telling in
London lately story about an Eng

HOLDER FOR uNRuLY EWES.
Device Which Will Prove Convenient

We have plan for making handy
farm device for the holding of unruly
ewes during lambing time, which we
think will be of interest to others,
writes correspondent Of Prairie Far
mer
This holder is used by us for hold
ing stubborn ewes. We had cou-
pie of very stubborn ewes last winter
which would not own their lambs. We
wanted to save the lambs, as they
were very fine ones and we resorted
to holding the ewes. but as this took
considerable of our time we devised
holder which holds sheep far
more securely than two men can by
hand.
We can place eve securely in
this holder and go about doing other
chores and the lambs will take care

Preserving EGGS.

The usual way of preparing water
glass for storing eggs is to dilute ono
part of silicate of soda in ten parts
of pure rain water. The eggs, which
must be strictly fresh. are placed in
stone crock or wooden tub, and the
solution poured upon them. A cool
cellar is the best place to keep the
jar Waterglass, or silicate of soda
can be secured at N st druggists ut
10 to 80 cents p Ind. Eggs will
keep in it, If fresh zen put down, for
six months or var. This method
is considered one of the best known
for preserving eggs.

smaller as the case may demand. This
is accomplished by fastening the
planks upon which the bulls feet will
rest. with movable pins. SO that they
may be placed close together, or the
reverse.
In this connection, considerable
trouble was experienced in properly
gauging the width of them. II they
are too wide the bulls feet will get
down between the COW and the sup
port and might cause injury to both
animals. The width already given, 1S
inches. is sufficient, and in case of
heifers, may be somewhat less than
this. 1t requires, too, several trials,
before the bull becomes accustomed
to his new surroundings, but when
properly made, and with little care
and experience. it is found to give
very satisfactory results.
We append. says Hoard's Dairy
man, an illustration of device, which
embodies al the essential principles
above described, but is made movable
and more in the form of a box. 1t
should be made very strong and the
planks upon which the bulls feet are
to rest should be supported from be-
low by plank reaching from the
front to the rear corner posts. One
OF these planks should be left loosely
fastened with bolts or pins SO that the
space between them may be in
creased or decreased to correspond
with the size of the COW.

HENS, MOTHERS FOR eosLlNes.
Directions for Matching and Rearing
Them.

The first thing to consider in hatch
ing goose eggs under hens Is never
to put more than three or four under
a good hen. More cannot be covered
properly. Confine the hen to a fair
sized run with her nest inclosed in
some quiet place. Keep q dish OF
pure water, also one of grain, where
she can help herself. Dust her well
three times with lice powder and re-
move all clean eggs after seventh day.
When the goslings hatch give the
most careful hen four to six. Confine
the hen and goslings in a shady grass
run. Give water in a drinking foun-
tain that the young ones cannot get
into and one that can be washed clean
inside and out.
The yard must be changed often
enough to have good. soft grass all
the time. Grass is the best goose
and milk with small amount of shorts
and meal mixed with for first week
Also add a fifth rolled oats to the
feed. After the first week, suggests
Orange Judd Farmer, increase
amount of shorts and corn meal, also
add little beef scraps. After the
first month they can be fed mostly
on shorts, corn meal and oats. with
about a fifth of the feed compound OF
beef scraps. Plenty of grass, good
but not too much feed, clean coops
and pure water all the time, will make
the goslings larger than the hen at
one month old.

very valuable to any farmer who has
stubborn ewes We would especially
recommend its use in small flocks.
We saved all of our lambs last win
ter, which was quite task, as they
were born early in the winter when
the weather was quite cold We
found that by using the holder we
were born early in the winter when
less work.
We make sheep holders of old fence
boards, which did very well, as we
find this material plenty strong, but
when the lambs tried to suck they let
us know that our device was not COM
plete. We therefore resorted to iron
rods, as shown in the cut and marked
X and L. These are made adjustable
for different sizes of sheep as shown
in the cut by three rings which rep
resent the holes which were bored
through the corner posts.
We used the aXles of an old chill
drens playing wagon. These axles
answered the purpose very nicely as
they were just the right length. We
then sawed two boards "a inches long,
! marked BIB in the cut These were
nailed to the inside of the corner
posts. Then we attached a board
across the front end with portion
marked c in the cut. sawed off so as
to give plenty of room for the sleeps
throat, enough to hold any of our
sheep. In starting the construction
we began with two boards, u and F,
about % inches long, to which we
nailed the bottom boards, which are
"a inches long. We made four posts
| OF fence boards 26 inches long which
we attached to the bottom or floor.
one on each corner, as shown in the
cut. These posts being marked A in
i the sketch. We then proceeded with
our work and attached three boards at
ends on bottom. one in front and two
| in the rear. These we thought would
make the eve stand in proper posi-
ton.
| We next attached an old hinge to
board for the rear end of the holder,
which We then fastened to the hold
er by one nail through the bottom nail
hole in the hinge which allows the
| board or end gate to drop down out
of the way. This is quite convent
ence. as 1t is out of the way and is
not liable to be broken off by sheep
running against it. This board is
marked d in the cut This door is
fastened shut by small hook which
| goes over the nail in the end of the
door.
We then found that we must strap
our sheep in the holder to make them
secure. So we nailed straps to the
boards B B, two straps to go over the
sleeps back and two straps to go I'M
der the sleeps belly. These straps
as shown in the sketch, are marked o
N. They can be made adjustable by
straps which may be found necessary
for the size OF the sheep which the
holder is to accommodate. Four diff
ferent straps are used for this pur-
pose, one end being securely nailed
to the board on the one side and the
other end being slipped over nail,
which makes it a very convenient
fastening.
For making the iron rods stay in
place We fastened a wooden button.
as 1t is called, which holds the rods
in their place. We then inclosed the
front end by mailing boards on slant
ingly. This makes the holder much
more rigid than it would be were the
boards nailed on straight across; the
boards form very good brace in this
way.

and during the night in particular
can be so closed that small animals
cannot get in to disturb either hen
or chicks. A good idea Of the front
