Paris.-POlitical happenings have
succeeded one another so rapidly liz
Russia that French correspondents
there have had little time To do more
than occupy themselves with them, and
descriptive articles from those jour
nalists have been few regarding the
effect Of the revolution on the mass
OF the people and its results in the
provinces and among the peasants.
One or two articles, however. have APP
peared which throw some light on the
mentality of the Russians. regarded as
so different from that of other Euro
peans.
Robert de Fiers, associate editor Of
the Figaro and now attached to the
headquarters staff of the Roumanian
army, has had months of study of the
Russian troops serving in conjunction
with those OF Roumania. Here are
some anecdotes from his latest article :
There Is a fine lake somewhere In
the south of Russia which is connected
by q channel with smaller lake,
where huge carp are raised. The chan
mel was barred by nets to prevent the
carp from passing into the larger lake,
and, as food does not reach the troops
In the district too plentifully nor in
great variety. the officers were glad
TO vary their mess with the fish.
One day some hundreds of soldiers
were gathered In a meeting-One of
those meetings which have become a
regular institution in the Russian army
this year-plunged in deep discussion.
Suddenly-there was a rush toward
the lakes and. with cries Of "SlOboda y
''SlobOda ('Libertyi" "Liberty!"),
the men began to pull out the barriers
and nets and destroy them. The Off
GERS wished to prevent the destruction,
but the soldiers took little notice of
their reprimands beyond crying "SlO-
bOda! SlOboda for the fish,
A noncommissioned officer explained
the matter. Fish are Gods creatures
as men are. Like them. they have the
right to liberty. But men can talk and

fish are dumb and can never make
theirs. It's, therefore. our duty to aid
them because 1t is contrary to nature
to pen them up in order to capture
them and easily kill them"

HEALTHY WHEAT SEED
IS QUITE ESSENTIAL
First Requisite for Largely In.
creased Crop for Next Year
Equally True Of Rye.

From the United States Department of
Agriculture.)
Sound, clean healthy seed is the first
requisite for the largely increased
wheat crop which the United States
department of agriculture hopes to see
harvested next year. Whatever the
source Of supply farmers will find 1t to
their advantage, says the department,
to see that only goOdHseed is planted.
What has been said is equally true of
seed for the rye crop which the depart
ment hopes to see much larger than
usual next year.
If a farmer has seed from his OWL
crop which is satisfactory 50 far as
variety and general condition are con-
cerned, he should lose no time in get
ting it into shape for storage until
planting time. The tanning mill is
the farmers best friend in this task.
The farmer, by all means should have
such a mill and If he has not and is
unable to obtain one, should borrow
or rent his neighbours mill, or several
farmers can join In buying one. A fan
ming mill removes weed seeds, smut
and shriveled grain and leaves only
plump kernels. practically everyone OF
which may be depended upon to pro-
duce a thrifty plant. After it is
cleaned, however. the seed should be
treated in order that the smut may be
prevented. Scab is less likely to be
prevented by seed treatment, but the
use of the tanning mill will assist ma
terially in improving the crop grown
from seed known to have contained
scabby kernels.
If the farmer Is dependent on out
side sources for his seed he should buy
from his neighbor IL possible so that
he may be more likely to get seed well
adapted to his conditions. 1t Is adyis.
able to buy as soon after harvest as
possible as at this time prices are like

for honey, and in weaker colonies they
will be so chilled as to become prac-
tically dormant, and have known col
Onies to starve with plenty of honey in
the outside frames because the long
continued cold made 1t impossible for
them to reach their stores. Strong col
Onies keep the temperature of the hive
higher, and so the bees will move to
the outside stores more freely.
Working in Fall.
If we disturb the colonies too late in
the fall the bees cannot arrange the
stores around their cluster, and we are
apt to put the honey frames out of
their reach. or we are prone to put
them in the middle of the cluster so
they will divide the cluster with
frames of cold honey between. In

ment of their home, and we had better
