MILLET CROP

Essential.
cBy WALTER b. LEUTz.)

The claims of mlllet as an impor-
tant soiling food rest upon the fact
that it is good milk producing food,
that 1t yields well on good land, that It
may be grown as a catch crop and in
hot weather in some instances after
another crop has been harvested
Its weak point as soiling crop is
the short season during which 1t can
be fed.
The great points to be kept In view
in preparing the land for millet are to
have it finely pulverized and moist and
as clean as possible. The question of
moisture IS all important.

Kiev, Russia-The Russian Pre-

the bullet wounds of an assassin
during gala performance at the
municipal theatre. Almost until the
for half an hour his wife alone was
at his bedside. Towards the end Sto-
lypin suffered greatly. Finally the
heart action became weaker and as
lied that death was overtaliing him.
At lucid interval a priest admins
tered extreme JUNCTION. The Metro
politan Flavian blessed and consoled
him in his last moment.
Stolypin's death, in addition to ter
rorizing the Jews and sending them
by thousands from the city. has ac-
centuated the revolutionary move
ment, which has been marked by a
series of assassnations recently.
These deaths are accredited to n
new autonomous revolutionary group
the aim of which is to assassinate in
dividual statesmen. Bogroff was said
to have been leader in this group.
Many prominent men are said to be
marked. Several already have re-
ceived warnings. In several instances
1t is claimed the victims selected are
sons or daughters of officials.
One hundred and fifty arrests of
lawyers and other acquaintances of
Bogroff have been made in Kiev.
The revolutionists are now. the of
ficials say, closing up their ranks in
preparation for new campaign.

HOW TO CURE PEAv1NE HAY

Some time since one Of our cor

seems that there are many who
have not read it. Begin moving
when the pods are maturing, but
not dry. I cut in the morning till
noon only. Put a tedder right
after the mowers to keep the hay
tossed up so as to facilitate the
willing. That afternoon rake II
into windrows. Next morning
turn the windrows. and that al
ternoon put the hay into cocks

well. How. long it shall remain

and the state OF the growth. bu
as soon as you can take bunch II
