London, July %. - Kerensky and
Korniloff, Russia's men of the hour,
met anarchy and dlsloyalty with blood
and iron.
Dispatches from Petrograd leave no
room for doubt that Kerensky's dlcta-
torshlp is to be a real dictatorship;
that he will sanction and approve eX-
IRENE measures when necessary to re-
store Il sembance of order out of
chaos which for a time seemed to
threaten the complete disntegration
of the Russian armies and, indeed, the
Russian state
-Four outstanding things were in dis
patches from Petrograd, things which
held out promise, in the opinion Of OBJ
servers here, that Kerensky, with the
aid of his military commanders, of
whom Korniloff stands out, might yet
pull Russia through" These things

has gathered around him have agreed
completely so far with all his prOpos-

most.
.. His first act has been to restore
the death penalty for treason. This
action. taken with the consent of his
ministers, Is designed to wipe out dis
affection in the army which has made
its commanders powerless and which
has enabled the Germans to make their
gains in Galicia after the Russian army
had apparently regained Its power as
a war machine.
3. A censorship of dubious newspa-
pers has been established. The papers
affected were guilty of disseminating
appeals to disl0yalty among the troops.
The new order provides for the sus-
pension of such papers
4. As a result. the Russian army Is
again showing evidences of resistance.
The Germans continue to strike in Ga
licia, but in the Carpathians and Rou-
mania the Russian-Roumanian forces
have opened n counter-offensive APP

gions, and has met with considerable
initial successes.

Woman Serving Life Term for Killing
Husband Released by Phillip as
Death Draws Near.

Milwaukee Mrs. Carmello Musso,
serving a life sentence in Waupun fol-
lowing her conviction for the murder
of her husband Joseph. has been par
doned by Gov Philip because she is
dying of tuberculosis. She was
brought to Milwaukee and will be
cared for bH relatives.
Mrs. Musso\ ,sa,s convicted of muir
der in the first d1Eree largely on the
testimony OF Rose Degratione, a
niece, who swore that Mrs. Musso
strangled her husbanE to death. The
case was unusual because of the rarity
with which convictions are secured in
the cases of crimein the Italian colony
of the lower Third ward.
Susie Wodjak, another woman com
mitted to Waupun for life on couvic-
ton of having murdered her husband,
was ordered transferred to some sana-
forum by the governor She, too, Is
suffering from the white plague. She
will probably be taken to Wales.

REGULATE SWARMlNG
TO INCREASE HONEY
Expert Of Missouri College Gives
Suggestions Intended to As
siSt Bee Keepers.

Bee swarming is natural, and can
not be entirely prevented though It can
be regulated. Some strains of honey
bees, such as the small black bees,
swarm more often than others, though
all strains may be expected to swarm
when conditions are right. To secure
the greatest production of surplus
honey, reduce swarming to minimum.
by repeated, swarming many weak
colonies are produced, each Of which
stores little If any surplus honey, and
they may all be so weak that they will
perish during the following winter.
Congestion In the hive, tree or other
abode, n restriction Of the brood nest,
ovcr-heating, due to poor air circula-
ton and the lack Of shade, and an
overabundance of drones, are some
factors which tend TO encourage
swarmlng. Leonard Hnseman of the
University of Missouri college of ag-
riculture offers the following sugges-
lions for regulating swarmng: Make
the abode of the colony comfortable,
klht IL 0lllhtf i'lilONt but pItbut pro-
vide plenty of room for surplus honey
I'm the supers, and make sure that the
brood chamber is large enough to ac-
commodate the colony.
The tendency to swarm is usually
most noticeable during May, June and
early July, and If the foregoing pre-
cautions are taken In time they viii
help prevent development of the
swarmlng fever. If the swarming fe-
yer is once developed by colony,
swarmng is much more difficult to pre-
vent. The careful removal of queen
cells every week may help to prevent
the swarm from emerging, but may not
relieve the swarming fever. by remov-
ing part of the brood combs rich In
brood and giving them to weaker col
onles In exchange for some Of their
combs which have little or no brood,

which sometimes take the form of
group of tubers. The cicuta is most
readily distinguished from plants of
similar appearance growing under the
same conditions by the transverse
chambers in the rootstock. These can
be seen by making u longitudinal sec
ton. Further description, except by
botanical terms, Is difficult, but the cir
cular mentioned presents illustrations
that make recognition easier.
Only the root of cicuta is poisonous.
Cases Of poisoning are more frequent
in the spring, partly because the roots
are more likely to be noticed at that
time and partly because they appear
TO be more poisonous then than later in
the season. Occasionally stock find the
roots when they are washed out by
high water in small streams. Farm
ers in their blowing sometimes bring to

More than a dozen vessels, including
an American cruiser were in the res

WISCONSIN CROPS
IN FINE CONDITION
HOT WEATHER HELPS AGRIcUL.
TURE IN THE STATE SAYS
C. p. NoRGARO.
GRAIN is RAPIDLY RIPENING
Most of Haying Is Finished and the
Crop Is Fine in Ouaity.-Live
Stock in Good Shape and
Pastures Excellent.

Madison-Jrof. c. P. Norgord, state
commissioner of agriculture, said that
the prevailing hot weather was fine
for growing corn and most all other
crops. 1t is too hot for tobacco, caus-
ing that crop to grow to rapidly.
The hot weather is good for all small
grain, which is rapidly ripening and. in
some parts of the state, is being har-
vested. Most of the haying is finished,
except on low land and in the north
ern part of the state, and the crop is
fine in quality and large in quantity.
The weather has also been good for
all kinds of fruit. Pastures generally
are good, owing to the seasonable
rain fall in most parts of the state.
Livestock generally in the state is in
good condition.

the normal emergence Of brood Is dis
turbed, which tends TO relieve the
swarmlng fever. -.-- ID
1t should he remembered that the
production of comb honey encourages
swarmlng more than the production of
extracted honey. Under present condl-
lions, when ii is so urgent that more
honey be produced to relieve the sugar
shortage, small as we'll as commercial
beekeepers are urged to produce more
extracted or chunk honey and less of
the fancy section honey. Bees work
more readily in frames than in pound
sections; and where the honey is ex-
tracted and the empty combs returned
for renlling much more honey will be
obtained. This in itself will materially
help to regulate swarming.
