Out of his total official and private
income Of about $11,OOO,OO0 Nicholas
is supposed to support seventeen of
his grand-ducal relatives, but most Of
these have large estates, and get lit
tie from the czar. The czar also sup
ports the ST. Peterburg Academy Of
Art and makes good the deficit on the
working of the imperial theaters. On
the st. Petersburg ballot there is a
loss of 100000 a year. But these
expenses are triies. What the czar
does with the rest of his enormous
wealth no one knows.
His penuriousness beats Abdul Ha-
mid's. He keeps no harem. He gives
no entertainments. All his big pal
aces are closed. The winter palace at

rococo Peterholf palace are all unin.

The Dairy Industry.

According to the last year book of
the department of agriculture. there
are 21,72O.000 milch cows in the Uni
ted States, and these are worth s702,-
$4,000. The magnitude of the in
dustry can perhaps be best under
stood when II Is considered that these
cows produce yearly about $1,000
100000 worth Of dairy products.
There Is no other branch Of diver
sified agriculture so important TO the
progress of a community The fer
tility OF the soil can best be main
tained by the liberal use of barnyard
manure and the dairy herd not only
makes this possible. but dairying Is
also more remunerative than other
branches of farming when properly
carried on.
Dairying has made much progress
since the advent OF the modern
creamery and tho consumer OF butter
has not only been benefited by being
furnished a more wholesome and pal
atable article OF food. but the wife in
the farm home has been relieved of
the drudgery incident TO making but
ter on the farm. Where formerly the
cream was ripened and churned into
butter under conditions not condu-
Give To fine quality in the finished
product and In the majority of cases
by unskilled hands. now the most OF
tho milk or cream Is delivered TO a
modern creamery where conditions
are suited To- the purpose OF making
butter. and the result has been won
derrul Improvement In the quality OF
oar dairy products. As the quality
has Improved consumption has in
oreased and the progress OF dairying
has been remarkable during the past
decade.
The perpeutlty OF the country's
greatness depends upon increasing
the production Of farm products from
year TO year. a result which not only
furnishes our people with food but
maintains the prosperity OF our farm
