PREMIER STOLyP|N
SHOT BY ASSASSIN
WOUNDS ARE NOT NECESSARILY
FATAL SAY DOCTORS AFTER
FIRST EXAMINATION.
1T WAS THOUGHT FIRST THAT
THE EMPEROR WAS VICTIM.
The Emperor Was Near Stolypin In
a Theater at kiev When the
the Nihiist Lawyer Made
His Attacks.

Premier Peter AleXandrovitch
Stolypin was twice shot by a would
be assassin during gala performance
at the opera house in Kiev. Car
Nicholas was in the audience and at
first it was feared that his life had
been attempted.
Stolypin's wounds were first re-
garded as mortal but physicians who
attended him are hopeful that he will
recover. They decided not to oper-
ate.
The man who fired the shots is a
lawyer named Bogrof He was sit
ting directly behind the premier and
both bullets took effect.
Wild excitement followed the fir
ing. With the first shot the czar
dropped out of sight and as a score
of secret agents rushed to his box
with drawn revolvers the cry went
up that the emperor had been killed.
In the immediate vicinity of the
premier, however, it was seen at
once who the victim had been While
those nearest him supported him, at
tempted to aid him and called for
physicians, others seized Bogrof. He
was nearly torn to pieces by the mob
before rescued by the police.
The car was hurried out of the
theater by private way and into a
carriage, which was driven rapidly
to the palace. The audience was
finally quoted and before dispensing
sang the national anthem.
The premier was removed to the
palace. The bullets wounded the
pleura and grazed the liver.
Real Ruler of Russia.
AS premier of Russia, Mr.. Stolypin
is the man who blocked the Russian
outbreaks which threatened to effect
a revolution and which came to a
head during the term OF office of
Count Witte. His conduct of his of
fee was attended with drastic and
repressive measures that earned him
the hatred OF the progressive classes
and led to repeated attempts upon
his life by the revolutionists.
The rapid retaliatory steps which
he took among the terrorists won him
the detestation of the advanced par
ties but the support of the existing
order and made him the real auto
crat of Russia, with power exceeding
that of the car himself
"Stolypin's necktie" became the
synonym for the hangmans moose
throughout Russia. Trials and per-
secutions proceeded with great ra-
pidity under his direction and the
advent of more radical form of gov
eminent was checked He quarreled
frequently with the duma and was
victorious in his disputes with that
body, owing to the confidence OF the
czar, which he enjoyed. When NJ.
Stolypin accepted the premiership he
was perfectly conscious of his dan
ger. He said at the time:
81 have no doubt that attempts will
be made upon my life, but l hope
that order will be restored and sta
bility established in Russia before
they are successful"

EDUCATE POOR CHILDREN
Law Says Parents Can Draw Mini
mum of Sc week.

INDECENT parents of children within
school age may draw a maximum of
Sc week from the city, providing
they send their children to school
and their claim is approved by the
juvenile court Judge. This is made
possible by an act of the recent leg
islature, an act which escaped gen.
eral notice in the mass of other leg
islation.
The law is now in effect, but owing
to the fact that its provisions are
known to comparatively few, no fam
lily has applied to the board Of educa-
ton or the juvenile court for relief.
The act was designed to enable
poor families to send their children
to school instead of putting them to
work to help support the home. Com
pensation at the rate of So week a
child, but not to exceed sc a week
for any one family, is allowed, this
to be paid out of the maintenance
fund OF the board of education on
recommendation of the juvenile Judge
after an investigation by a truant or
court officer

The prevailing opinion that root
crops are difficult to harvest, involv-
ing much hard manual labor, has pre-
vented many from growing them.
Modern tools and methods have af-
forded much relief in such harvest
ing operations.
Turnips and rutabagas can be
topped readily with sharp hoe
while still in the ground and the
roots tipped out with the pillow later
If the tops from each pair Of adjoin-
ing rows are left in the space be-
tween 1t is an easy matter to gather
and haul them off the ground for
feeding If so desired. To plow tur-
nips or rutabages out select plow
with a narrow share, nine inches pre-
ferred, remove the coulter or jointer
and set the draft over to one side so
that the pillow will cut a V-shaped
furrow. Then with one man to drive
a second man can SO hold the plow
as to trim off the top roots and over
turn the roots without burying them
with earth. If buried somewhat, har-
rowing will expose all the roots. EX-
posure to the sun for few hours or
even a slight frost during the night
makes the earth drop readily from the
roots when bumped together just be-
fore being thrown into the wagon.
Short, thick-bodied roots such as
the golden tankard mangold or giant
feeding beet may be uprooted by
dragging an inverted harrow both
ways across the rows after which the
tops can be twisted off by hand be-
fore the beets are loaded in the
wagon. The extremely large, long.
crooked varieties such as the man
gold wurzel cannot be harvested in
this way without some damage from
breaking. which interferes with their
keeping qualities. These sorts should
be pulled and the tops twisted off
by hand.
In the case Of few rows Of car
rots grown for horse feeding the fol
lowing method may be followed If
beet litter is not available. Run a
deep narrow furrow close along the
row Of carrots, exposing their sur
faces, then lift by hand and place in
piles for topping. The same will APP
ply to the harvesting Of sugar beets
for feeding purposes, but beet litter
should be procured If they are grown
to any great extent.
These remarks are intended to ap-
ply to the average farmers condi-
lions where a few roots are grown
for feeding purposes and where the
small areas devoted to this work will

ammonia and has no value as deo-
dorizer or disinfectant. 1t has some
little value in making the manure
easier to handle, but when one remem-
bers that the solid portion contains
less than one-third of the plant food
this one advantage assumes minor i'm.
portance.
A material which answers more full
ly all of the aforementioned speciti-
cations is raw muck or peat and.
where 1t is available, is by far the
best material for the purpose. In
most parts Of the state 1t can be read
lily obtained and many farms have
waste land by the owners. Ordinarily
as It comes from the bog, 1t is mostly
water, one hundred pounds of the wet
material containing from fifty to nine
ty pounds Of moisture, though in dry
seasons this may be considerably d.
minished. BY shoveling over, on dry
ground, and exposing to the action Of
the wind and sun this amount may be
reduced to ten or fifteen pounds. The
dry material can then be hauled to
the barn and stored under some sort
of shed for use as required. In this
air-dry condition it has extremely high
absorbant powers and can take up
many times it's weight of liquid and
large quantities of gaseous material,
thus drying the manure and making 1t
pulverulent and easier to handle.
In addition to these qualities peat
itself has more or less value as fer
tilizer on account of its nitrogen con-
tent. Though the total amount of nitro
gen present in peat is considerable,
that part which is Immediately avail.
able for plant use is quite small. Ex-
periments which have been conducted
ut the Michigan experiment station
and elsewhere seem to indicate that
mixing with manure brings about
some change whereby a greater por-
ton of this nitrogen is made directly
available. Peat is also valuable for
the humus or organic matter which It
supplies TO the soil and this gives II
another advantage over straw.

The Use of Peat
as a Stable Litter
By C. s. ROBINSON. Research Assistant in
Chemistry. Michigan Experiment Station

Stable litter has four chief uses in
the preservation of manure. First, it
absorbs the liquid manure and pre-
vents its draining away; second, 1t
absorbs ammonia, one of the most
valuable constituents of manure
third, 1t makes manure easier to han
die, and fourth, 1t acts as deoderizer
and makes the presence of manure
less Objectionable. che first two of
these functions are exceedingly i'm
portant from financial point Of view.
In the manure formed by horses, sheep
and cows practically 65 per cent. of
the nitrogen and 80 per cent. of the
potash are found in the liquid manure.
Most Of this is directly available for
plant food, while considerable part
of that in the solid manure is not
available for immediate use. For
these reasons more attention should
be paid TO the conservation of the
liquid portion OF the manure than is
customary in common farm practice
AS is well known, ammonia is very
valuable for fertilizing purposes and
Is by no means the least expensive
fertilizing material on the market.
The strong odor Of ammonia notice
able In the vicinity of any ordinary
manure pile is sufficient indication
that II Is there in large quantities
and is escaping into the air to be a
complete loss to the farmer. The
prime requisite for good litter, then,
is that It shall have strong absorbent
powers for both liquids and gases.
In addition 1t must be cheap, easy to
obtain and convenient to handle. The
most common litter is, of course,
straw. which. however, fulhlls very
poorly the requirements given above
for a good stable litter. 1t is a poor
absorbent for either liquid manure or

not warrant investment in expensive
special machinery.
Storing Root Crops.
The most satisfactory and perma-
nent results in storing root crops are
to be secured from a cellar built In
an excavation adjacent to or as a
part Of basement barn, the object
being to get below ground for secur-
ity against frost and the mainte-
nance of uniformly low temperature.
A space partitioned off in the base
ment barn with light walls makes as
satisfactory an arrangement as any;
If this Is not done the warm, moist
air from the stables will prevent the
roots from keeping well. Root houses
built in excavations in banks some
distance from the stock barns are
not SO satisfactory because Of the
extra labor involved in conveying the
roots to the stock, particularly in
times Of mud and snow
Pitting may also be resorted to, but
is not so satisfactory as cellar I'm
der such conditions the continuous
use Of roots for feeding is interfered
with during the extremely cold spells
as some days the pit would have to
remain closed to prevent the access
OF frost. In constructing a pit, high
we'll drained piece of ground should
be chosen. The roots should be piled
In long piles, the bottom of the pile
about four or five feet wide, with the
sides sloping upward, to meet at a
point four feet above the center of the
pile; the length of the pit can be gov
erned by the conditions. AS soon as
roots are piled cover them with lay
er of about three inches of straw, free
from chaff; then cover the straw with
earth taken up from near the edges of
the pit In such way as to form a
ditch around the same for drainage.
Early in the season not more than an
inch or two of earth should be placed
on the straw; but later, as cold wealth
er approaches, double the amount of
earth, and prevent freezing in future
by coverings of manure, used in such
quantity as the severity of the wealth
er may require. Where the conditions
are extreme, or for potatoes, a dou-
BILE covering may be used as follows:
First cover with straw and then with
a thin layer of earth, which is al
lowed to freeze, then follow with an
other layer of straw and more earth.
In this method a dead air space is
maintained and the roots or potatoes
inclosed are not effected by fluctua-
tons in temperature from without. In
extreme weather manure covering
would be needed as in the first case.

PROFIT IN SHEEP
Feeder Sheep and Lambs Are
Now Cheap.
GOOD MONEY IN PROSPECT
A seIf-Evident Proposition.

Good growing stock of any kind that
Is selling below the cost Of production
is always a safe investment, If the
purchaser Is prepared to take good
care Of 1t.
He who buys and develops such
stock is almost certain to make
good profit in doing SO, because pro-
duction will not long continue at
loss, while consumption of staples
must go on steadily.
Not many others are buying such
stock, or else 1t would not be selling
so cheaply, and it follows logically
and consistently that when 1t has
been grown and finished for market,
there will then be comparative
scarcity of such finished stock and
such good prices will be realized for it
that handsome profit will result from
the deal.
This reasoning Is self-evident, and
applies with especial emphasis to the
present situation in feeder sheep and
lambs.
Last years conditions are now re-
versed. Then nearly everybody was
crazy to feed sheep and lambs, and
an immense number were sold and
shipped to the country at about the
highest prices on record. This to-
gether with an enormous corn crop
of high feeding value, world of
perfectly cured roughage and a splen-
did winter feeding season were fac
tors that combined to produce heavy
supply Of fat sheep and lambs for
market during the early part Of this
year, while retailers OF meats held
up prices to consumers, SO that con-
sumption was limited, with the nat
ural and logical result of low prices
and feeders losses in most instances.
In consequence Of last years un-
profitable experience and present
scarcity Of grass and hay, most farm
ers and many professional feeders of
market, and very few are being ship
ped to the country. while prices are
the lowest since 1904. In fact, feed
err sheep and lambs are selling on the
market today for less than the cost OF
production.
These facts mean that early next
year there will be a scarcity of fat
sheep and lambs at market, and COM
paratively high prices will prevail.
Those who have the nerve to go con-
trary to the crowd and invest in good,
thin but thrifty feeder sheep and
lambs at the present low price, will
have no cause to regret their enterpris-
ing independence when they come to
market them In finished condition.
The concensus Of opinion Of the
best minds in the trade is that since
both prices for feeding stock and pros
poets for fat stock are much better
than they were last year, therefore the
opportunities for profit are CORE
spondingly better. In fact, the whole
situation is the reverse OF last year.
Now is the time to buy, because
range conditions are such that most
Of the sheep and lambs will come to
market from the range regions ready
for slaughter, while fewer of the feed
er classes will be marketed during the
remainder Of this year, and the supply
will not equal the probable Fall de-
mand, so that prices are likely to be
materially higher in October and No
vember.
