 of the Earth

Few citizens of Alaska, or, in fact, tho United States, realize how won derfuly rich in natural resources the vast Russian empire was. lt io no longer an empire and if the ma ton. or more properly nations, can escape tho deaths hand of the an- archist and the Kaiser's agents, and stand together, vast possibilities await them at the close of the war. Dr. Frank Crane makes the follow ing observations:
 Russia Is tho largest country in tho world. tcrritorially.
 It is more than twice the size of tho United States.
 It occupies one-sixth of the total land area of the earth.
 Its population is about 1SO,OOO,- OOO.
 Its normal increase of population is about seventeen per thousand.
 seventy-riye per cent of the people of Russia are engaged in agriculture.
 Fifteen per cent of Russia's popu- lation live in cities. In the United States it is almost 4G per cent.
 In 1913 there were over 340OO different books published in Russia; during the same year in the United States over 12,OOO.
 Only a sixth of tho children of Russia are enrolled in its schools.
 Moving pictures have made rapid advances in Russia; there are over l5OO Of such places of entertainment.
 Russias natural wealth is estim- atcd at $5O,OOO,OOO,OOO; it is thus thc firth richest nation.
 There arc over 2,OOO,OOO nhabi- tants in each of Russia's two capi- tals, Pouograd and Moscow.
 or Russia's l23l cities, lOGS have their streets lighted at night lG2 having electric light, 12S gas, and tho others kerosene.
 Fifty-four cities have street ears.
 Tho five largest cities of Russia U913), with their population in even hundred thousands, are Petro- grad, 2,1OO,OOO; Moscow, 1,SOO,OOO; Warsaw. 100000; odessa, GOO,OOO; Kicv. GOO,OOO.
 Russia has the longest coast line Of any country in the world; but most of it is locked by ice a good part Of the year.
 One of the most striking features of Russian economic life is tho de- velopment Of tho cooperative move mcnt There are moro than 37OOO cooperative institutions, more than in any other country.
 Russia is the most important granary of the world. In 1910, when crops everywhere were normal, it exported over 23.OOO.OOO tons of wheat; the United States came next with 22,OOO,OOO; the world crop was g6,OOO.OOO.
 The three greatest tobacco growing countries are-in millions of pounds the United States, 722; British In- dia, i33; and Russia, l9S.
 Russia raises more horses than any other country.
 Russia supplies about ono-third of the furs of the world.
 It contains more forests than any other country.
 Russia is tho second petroleum pro- ducing country; the first is the Unit cd States.
 Much of the business in Russia, wholesale as well as retail, is done at fairs, of which there are over 5000 which take place annually.
 The most famous fair in the world is that at Nizhi-Novgorod.
 The Russian state bank is tho largest bank in tho world, judged by the amount Of its deposits.

Bv WILLIAM A. RApFoRp.

A general purpose barn for farm
of 20 or more acres is shown in ac
companying illustration. 1t is 80 by
2S feet in size and is built to stable
aeight cows and four horses.
The barn has concrete foundation
wall and a concrete floor. The stalls
are of the approved kind used in the
best dairy stables. The stanchions are
of the turning or swinging pattern,
and the stall partitions are of iron.
Each COW stall is feet 8 inches wide.
This width measures out even, and it
is about right for the average cow.
The length of the floor from the
manager to the gutter is feet 6 inches.
The gutter is 16 inches wide. These
sizes are about what dairymen prefer,
although there are dairy farms where
the cows average extra large. For In
stance, some Holstein breeders pre-
