FINLAND

The Russian duma has been discuss.
ing bill which the. Finlanders ~
gard as an intended blow at their II!
berty. That they are not alone In
holding this sentiment is clearly 70
vealed by the discussion of the bill
in the duma itself. The debate was
opened by Miljukoff, an authority on
history and political economy and tho
leader Of the cadet party. He spent
q whole hour endeavoring to demon,
strate that the bill aims at complete
overthrow of the Finnish state, Of
the legal status of the grand duchy,
Of Finland. THE annexation Of Bos-
nia," he said, filled all of us with in
dignation, but that was triflng mat
ter compared with what you now pro-.
pose to do against Finland" Milju-
ko1r accused the advocates Of the bill
Of trying to compel the monarch to
break his pledge to the Finnish peo-
pie. This called forth a great noise
from the Rightists, and the speaker
turned to them and said: Here you
Monarchists have chance to step
forth and say that the words Of the
monarch must not be made q play

to the conscience of the Russian peo-
pie, and the whole Finnish nation -
listening to hear what your con-
science is going to say. It asks you
If you are prepared, before God Al
mighty and the verdict Of history, to
assume the responsibility for the NOR

Remember that even to this day w

inflicted upon ourselves by annihilat-

ly moved, Miljukoff next announced
that the party Of popular liberty had
passed the following resolutions:
Desiring to defend the honor of the
empire and the peoples conscience.
and respecting the inviolable word Of
the monarch, our party cannot join In
the obvious violation of a small peo-
pies autonomy" Miljufoff made q
deep impression by closing with re-
ference to the golden words of the
car when he called the Hague con-
ference. The leaders of all the other
liberal parties also protested against
the bill; but the conservative major
ity referred it to the committee fGR
further action.

Care Of tho Youna Pics.

Care Of the Young Pigs.
On account of the million and half
Or two million shortage Of hogs in the
northwest, it is very essential and
profitable that every pig narrowed
should b saved 50 far as is possible
by good management. This can be
done FIRST by feeding the sows on not
too fattening feeds and by giving the
SOW plenty Of exercise. The SOW then
will he 81 normal condition and will
give milk. Secondly, the pigs, as soon
as they are born. should be made to
exercise. There il no better place
for this, from now on, than out in the
pasture where conditions are sanitary.
Damp, dirty, small pens are very con-
ducive to the little pigs picking up
disease Of one sort or another and of
becoming wormy. A diseased pig new
er will do we'll.
The feed supply for the little pigs
should be we'll regulated. Milk from
the COW Is 4 good source. Additional
feed must he supplied in the form of
rilk, grains and pasture. Nothing is
better for the little pig than skim milk
and butter milk. The aim should be
to feed the little pig plenty Of bulky
feeds with sufficient amount Of nitro
genous food. but yet not too much,
and as time goes on, to increase the
fattening foods. Milk is very bulky
for tbs food that it contains, and it
also contains protein. The pasture
crop. clover particularly, is watery.
rather easily digested feed furnishing
bulk and the growing nutrients. All
the grain feeds are concentrated and
with them, for the young pig, much
water should be fed, at least twelve
pounds of water per hundred weight
Of pig should be given daily when they
are young up until the time they
weigh fifty to sixty pounds. If they
are permitted to drink what they like,
they will not drink this amount, but
experimental data shows that they
will do better when fed thus than
when less water is given.
OF the grains that are fed, shorts
is very satisfactory. Shorts three
parts and corn one part has given
fine results. Corn eight parts, tankage
one part. has made a nice combination
After the little pig grows older, and
Is from seventy-five pounds to one
hundred pounds in weight, more corn
may be fed. The pig should not be
fed too heavily when it is young, but
as it's capacity increases, it should be
fed more.
It is always we'll to keep before
young pigs . combination of ingredi-
ents that will keep them free from
worms. The following has been very
satisfactory: j

The Lawn.

The Lawn.
A pretty, well-kept lawn is one of
the best assets home can possibly
have. It Is often nkened to the can
vas painter USES. Beautiful pictures
may be made if one is careful in ar
ranging the trees and shrubs on it.
There is no reason for a poor lawn il
it is carefully prepared and good seed
is sown.
Preparation Of land.
The land should be deeply plowed
or spaded unless the subsoil is poor,
then narrowed, and a good dressing
of thoroughly retted manure put on
and diskad, or narrowed, into the soil.
All sticks, stones, etc., that would
interfere with the lawn mower, should
be removed, and the lawn smoothed
and raked so that the land is fine and
smooth.
Slope.
1t is a good plan to have the lawn
sloping rather than level. It is more
pleasing to the eye and drains better
than when fiat. No steep slopes should
be allowed if they can be prevented.
It is difficult to run a lawn mower over
them, ard the grass is more apt to
dry out.
Seeding.
After the land has been smoothed
and fined SO that it is in good condi-
ton, the seed may be sown. Kentucky
blue grass should be the principal seed
in every lawn mixture, because it
Is strong, rank growing grass and
forms a heavy sod. Red top and white
clover are added because they form a
quick sod and soon give way to the
blue grass. A good mixture consists
of bushels Of Kentucky blue grass,
5 pounds solid red top, and pounds
OF white clover per acre. It a very
large quantity of seed is to be sown,
it is better to mix ones own seed;
otherwise, buy some good lawn mix
ture from reliable scotsman. The
seed should be sown evenly sometime
when the wind is not blowing, and
then Immediately raked into the soil.
The land should then be rolled to
firm the soil about the seed. It is a
good plan to water the lawn and keep
1t moist until the seed comes up.
Great care should be used not to allow
anything on the lawn u Atil the grass
is up and the soil firm.
Sod.
Sodding is sometimes lfacticed, but
is much more expensive, and while it
secures lawn little quicker, is no
better than seeded land & not proper
ly laid, sod often makes 6 rough, poor
lawn. The sides of walks and drives
may often be sodded to advantage.

Flax in Rotation Not Hard on Land

Flax in Rotation Not Hard on Land
There is an opinion among farmers
that flax is hard crop on the soil
and that it cannot profitably be grown
on old land. Investigations in this line
do not seem to bear out the opinion.
Flax removes from the soil more nj
trogen than the grain crops owing to
the fact that it is rich in this element.
1t does not remove so much phosphor-
ic acid and potash, however, and I'm.
less grown too frequently will not Sc.
riously deplete the fertility of any soil.
At University Farm fax is used as
grain crop in five year rotation, thus
raising flax on the land once in five
years, and seeding down to clover and
timothy with the flax. The clover
being nitrogen gatherer replaces the
nitrogen taken from the soil in the
flax crop and eventually leaves the
land as rich as in the beginning.
While the yields Of AJAX in this par
ticular rotation have not been large
the crop is quite satisfactorily grown
and with no apparent bad effects on
the soil SO far as the growth of other
crops is concerned. This investiga
ton warrants the statement that fax
properly arranged in a five, six or
seven year rotation can be grown as
safely as any other grain and where
market conditions indicate that the
fax crop will be profitable it can safe.
ly be included in the grain crops grown
on our Minnesota farms.

INVESTIGATE BOTH SIDES.
Senator Smith to Propose Other Fea-
lures of Inquiry.

Washington, April 24.-Learning
today that the department of justice
had issued instructions to the Fed
eral authorities at Savannah to i'm
mediately assemble the grand jury
and begin an investigation of the
methods of the cotton exchange of
that city, to ascertain whether or not
it took any part in the alleged cot
ton pool, and, believing that similar
instructions will be issued for inves-
LEGATIONS at Charleston and elsewhere
in the South, Senator Smith, of South
Carolina, announced today that upon
the assembling of the senate tomor-
row he would introduce a resolution
calling upon the Attorney General
of the United States to investigate
other features of the matter.
1t is proposed to have the depart
ment Of justice, since it has begun to
tain who sold cotton to those said to
have formed the pool, what methods
were employed to sell a commodity
which was not possessed, and who
is responsible for this feature of the
Investigations now attracting the at
tentiOn of the entire cotton world. 1t
is not only fair but right. Senator
Smith said, in event the people in
Savannah and elsewhere in the South
entered into a pool or combination,
to know Immediately who sold these
parties, and how they were able to
sell something they did not have. for
the reason that there are not now
probably more than 10000 bales Of
cotton in the country all told.
Senator Smith will demand the full
lest investigation and it is almost GER
tain that his resolution will cause
big stir in the financial world. He is
determined. he says, to have the GOV
ernment investigate all sides of the
question since it has begun to use the
probe on the alleged pool.

twelve gallons and three pints of
booze. Sam Richardson took to his
heels and made his escape. He was
rounded up on Monday, however,
and landed in the guard house.
Officer McKagen is to be COM
mended for his diligence in hunting

AGAINST ANTI-OPTION BILL.
President Of New Orleans Exchange
Dcnounces 1t.

New Orleans. April 24.-Comment-
ing on the Scott anti-future bill. w.
j. Thompson, president of the New
Orleans cotton exchange, tonight de-
clared that the proposed legislation
Is not responsive to the information
supplied Commissioner Herbert
Knox Smith in his report on cotton
exchanges and that it will not, if en-
acted, stop gambling in future con-
tracts. but will. on the contrary,
eliminate only the legitimate features
of future trading and, in effect, le-
galize "bucketshops" and other forms
of what he terms speculative -ras-
cality."
THE direct effect Of such a bill, II
enacted" said Mr.. Thompson, "would
be to destroy the hedging process by
means Of which cotton buyers all ov-
er the country are able to protect
their transactions and supply the far
mer with ready market; to destroy
OF materially curtail the buying pow
er and the number of interior mar
kets. to force into speculative VEN
lures or else out OF business spot cot
ton buyers who do not want to spec
ulate; to substitute the lower for
eign exchange quotations for the
higher and to promote foreign
spinner trust; and finally to depress
the price of cotton to the injury of
the farmers, bankers. merchants and
all who are interested in the chief
trade asset of the South"
Mr.. Thompson says that all South
ern interests should protest to their
representatives in congress against
the passage of the bill.

TO BE READY IN THREE MONTHS
Sumter Gas Plant Delayed by Slow
Shipments of Material.

In about ten days or two weeks
the mains for the gas plant will be-
gin to go down. The main will come
from the plant up Hauser to the de-
pot, from there up South Harvin to
East Liberty, thence to Main. From
there four and six inch piping will go
all over town. 1t will take about
three months to complete the laying
of the mains after it is begun.
The work on the plant is about
completed. All that is needed is a
sheet iron top. The work at present
is being delayed by the failure to get
the drip pots, which were ordered
from Lynchburg, Va. These could
have been made in Sumter at less
price than they cost in Virginia and
without the present delay.
The completion of the plant will be
a great convenience to the public.
