had, on tho other hand. n great many
ill.deiined privileges. They grazed
their cattle during part OF the year
on the manor land: they received fire-
wood and logs for their huts; and. in
times OF famine, they could look TO
their master for support. Now all this
Is changed. The serf must buy every
thing he uses. Besides this, from an
economic point OF view. village life
has been reyolutionlzed. Formerly
the members OF u peasant family OBJ
tained from their ordinary domestic
resources nearly all they required.
Their domestic animals were bred at
homo and their agricultural imple-
ments manufactured at home. except
whero iron was required. Little money
was in use or needed. Very different
is the present condition. Home indus
tries have been killed by the big fac
tories and everything must be
bought"
But with the change has come
freedom. The Russian peasant,
bowed with the weight and woe OF
centuries" is beginning to stand erect.
The peasantry is passing through a
period OF transition. The peasant is
learning the use OF liberty and. though
slowly. is improving the conditions of
the village, which, IN Russia, means
rural life. The farm adviser, who is
here unfortunately too much of a bu-
reaucrat. is helping the peasant to
help himself. The adviser is generally
employed by large landed proprietor
who wishes 20 obtain greater returns
from his land. but in certain parts of
Russia tho local governments have set
farm advisers successfully to work.

less, the Russia of tomorrow will be

efforts to increase the agricultural
