er, but somehow their words were I'M
certain.
Thank God. it is all over now"
said the empress. heaving deep sigh.
Il had terrible presentiment during
the last few days. Wherever | went
could not rid myself of the terrible
thoughts that haunted me-
Really. Do you know" answered
the car Il also felt i'll, feverish,
weak They keep me in a constant
state of terror"
The empress tried to calm him
again. He smiled bitterly and hand
ed her a document bearing numerous
notes in red ink.
The empress made an effort to APP
pear calm as she read the document,
for she felt that the emperor was
watching her closely.
What wicked people! Savages! "
said the empress as she looked up to
him.
THAT is exactly what is troubling
me-" replied the emperor with sad,
leave to my son a heritage in such a
dreadful state!
DO NOS speak of this, do not speak
of this"
The empress advanced to him and
took his hand.
With the help of God all will be
we'll All will be WE'LL" she repeated.
And you, would you want to re-
main a widow" the czar suddenly
smiled strangely His eyes were cold
and moist.
The empress shuddered at these
words She released his hand and
looked at him fixedly
My dear" she said in tremulous
voice, Il nave wanted to speak to you
seriously for some time. This is i'm
possible. Do you understand? This
life we are leading is impossible. You
must do something to change it. You
must decide to do something"
The empress voice quivered and
there were tears in her eyes.
For my sake and four yours. for
the sake of ou- dear children, do
something! Even II you have to
even if you have to yield. Do it,"
What can | do?" asked the car.
Tell me. Do they know what they
want? Some of the people want one
thing, others want another. Don't you
know that yourself?"

tenn of prcvocation and spying in Rus

The empress spoke with firmness
and authority

your hands" she said. "and you look
upon It as a plaything. I know that

palace added to the misery OF the
young empress. She noticed that the
car was angry at her because she
was "endeavoring to introduce in Rus
STA western reforms and that she con-
sidered herself more intelligent than
the entire household in the palace"
In the meantime storms of unrest
had broken out in the land, and or
ders were given TO pacify the discon-
tented at all cost. The empress did
not know of the horrors that were per
petrated in Russia, and when she
learned of them she consoled herself
in the thought that all the cruelties
directed against the Russian people
were not committed by order OF the
car. She believed that the car, like
herself. was ignorant of what was go
ing on in the land
But she soon found out her error.
Then her suffering grew ever more in
tense. She looked with disgust upon
the clique surrounding her upon their
hypocritical smiles and greetings. but
she was unable to change anything
even in the palace. 1t was then that
she became seriously i'll.
When the empress had recovered
she divided her time between her chill
dren and her desk She turned once
more to the reading of books and also
devoted considerable time to writing.
Nevertheless the feeling that she was
alone and misunderstood in the palace
weighed heavily upon her. She grew
ever more and more melancholy.
One day, after having worked for
some time upon the tragedy she was
writing, the empress entered the
cars study. She found him seated at
his desk looking over numerous docu.
ments. He frightened up when she
entered aud he kissed her hands.
Why are you so sad" she asked.
Il am thinking of the future of our
children, he replied,

day And shaking his head he
added:

And he described to her in detail
the conspiracy of the terrorists
against his life. They became more
sad than before. The shadow of dan
ger was still lowering over their
heads.

hoe is MOST HANDY
OF FARM IMPLEMENTS
Most Useful Tool in Equipment OF
Gardener or Farmer-ShouId
Be Kept Sharp.
fBvR. G. wEATHERsToNE0

So many people have a horror OF
using a hoe. 1t is the most comfort
abIe implement to be found in the
equipment of gardener or farmer
and il Is handy to use for so many
purposes that one cannot get along
without 1t.
Probably one reason that people do
not like the hoe is that most hoes ex-
plain at once how dull as a hoe
came into proverbial use.
A dull hoe is certainly not pleas
ant implement with which to work
The good gardener will keep his ia
yorite hoe filed to sharp edge all the
time. 1t is impossible to grind noe
on a grindstone because the bevel
must be on the upper side of the blade
when it is in use in order to make
the hoe "bite" into the soil.
File your hoe, making the beVel
about twice as wide as the thickness
of the blade Then keep it bright and
when you go out after weeds the hoe
slips through the soil so easily that
hoeing is not much like hard work.
In hoeing a long slow movement
should be made, if the soil is In good
condition. Simply "scuff1ing" half an
Inch of the top soil is enough to Kill
weeds and one can go over a lot OF
ground in one day if the hoe is sharp
and bright and the strokes long and
smooth.
With sharp hoe one can cut
thistles, dock, dandelions and other
noxious weeds with quickness, dis
patch and ease. 1t is light to handle,
easy to use and more effective than
any other implement for many pur,
poses.
In choosing a hoe select one the
blade of which lies not quite fiat on
the floor when you are standing erect
with the hoe handle extending from
your hand when in working position to
the floor. The heel of the hoe should
not quite touch the floor from this
position.
Such hoe will bite into the soil
easily. when it is bright and sharp
and will work smoothly and effectively
Sharpen the hoe as soon as it gets
noticeably dull. This will be hard on
the hoe, but it saves muscle and hoes
are cheap. Carry small fiat file in
your hip pocket and do not allow a
nick to stay in the hoe a minute
after it is made.

energy and determination you yield to
the first adviser who knows how to in

Then the empress spoke more softly.
Il understand that you often find
yourself in an embarrassing position.
But you believe everything that should
be repulsive to you You yield to fiat

The car seemed pleased with his
words. He leaned back in his arm
chair and added angrily:

the empress. Il cannot. | am going

| am afraid to look at myself! When

What can | do? You must consult
the physicians"
The empress looked at him angrily
and shook her head.
Perhaps things will run more,
smoothly when you will be a widow"
said the car. rising from his seat and
running back and forth in his study.
That is nonsense he said sud
denly, and rang the bell, pausing in
the center of the room perplexed.
When the servant entered the car
shouted and stamped his feet. The
empress had tainted She was taken
to her room and remained for a long
time under the care of her physicians.
The car neglected all important af-
fairs of state when the empress was
ill. In the evening the minister OF
the interior arrived at the palace with
an important report. When he was
ushered into the cars study the

When the minister of the interior

hand.
The minister of the interior walked
out of the cars study confused and

And the minister of the interior
heard the car shouting to himself

During that illness various rumors
were spreading in the palace. 1t was
said that the czarina was planning to
leave the palace and return to her ma.

that she wanted the czar to abdicate
and leave Russia. But all knew that
she rebuked the car for his lack OF

Results of Investigations at the Mis-
souri, experiment station indicate
clearly that pork can be produced
most cheaply by feeding grain in COM
bination with forage.
The kind of grain depends of course,
upon the forage crop. In the work
done at this station, in general, when
the forage was a legume; such as al
falfa clover, cowpeas or soy beans,
straight corn was the grain fed. With
non-leguminous forages, such as blue
grass. rape and oats, sorghum or rye,
the corn was supplemented with lin
seed oil meal the ration being made
up of six parts corn to one part of oil
meal.

GRASS GROWING FOR PROFIT.

National Crop Improvement Servfce.1
over 100000 tons of timothy hay
are grown every year in the United
States on about 100000 acres of
ground Beginning at the seaboard
and going west the chief hay produc.
ing states are New York, Pennsyl.
vania, Missouri, Ohio, Michigan, In
diana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa and
Oklahoma. New York alone has near.
ly 100000 acres on which Is pro-
duced upwards of 100000 tons OF
hay. These ten states, which may be
said to constitute the hay belt of the
United States, have a total of over
27,000,000 acres on which were lately
grown over 100000 tons of hay.
These figures are mentioned to show
the magnitude OF the grass growing
industry. OF course grass Is grown
more or less extensively In all OF the
states, but the states mentioned are
the leaders and produce the greater
bulk of our annual crop OF timothy
hay, or about 67 per cent Of the total
crop of the United States.
