Russ Mission Reforming Penal Law.

TROGRAD.-Rapid progress is appointed to reform that part of the penal law of 1903 which deals with violation of the principle of religious liberty, conversion to another relig- ion by violence or threats and per version to another religion by fraud or undue influence.
 The basis of this law was a dis tinction, first, between orthodox and non orthodox Christians and, second between Christians generally and Mohammedans and heathen. Voun- tary conversion from orthodox was punishable under certain conditions, whereas voluntary conversion to or thodoxy was not punishable. For con- version 10 orthodoxy by violence or threat the penalties were mild and in practice Were never enforced; and non Christians virtually were not at VII protected 1BalnSt NlOIcnt cOHNcf- sion.
 The law now under consideration recognizes the complete liberty of all Christians. To emphasize this prin- ciplc. the projected law abolishcs the legal use of the word "heresy," and replaces the legal term 'perversion" with conversion
 The new law will protect citizens against forcible conversion, by inn posing q penalty of imprisonment not exceeding three years. The law will further deal with certain extrem- ist s6ctarians such as the Skoptsi and others which mutilate themselves and have been burned one another alive. For such offences the penalty is imprisonment in a fortress.

New Indian Secretary Young Man.

LONDON,-Thea appointment ofE. s. Montagu as Secretary of State for India in Premier Lloyd Georges cabi- net suggests that drastic changes are India and that plan will be involved to give the people of India an admin istration bordering on that enjoyed by the Dominions.
 In a speech during the debate in the House of Commons on the report of the Commission which investigated the Mesopotamia expedition, less than week before his appointment was announced, Mir. Montagu arraigned the system by which India is at pres- Executive Government should be made more responsible to the people of India. He suggested that the pro- vinces of India be made self-govern- Ing and federated by central gov- crnment, somewhat on lines of the government of the Dominion of Cana da.
 While this scheme was maturing. Mir. Montagu said it was imperative to give India" some installment now to show that you are in real earnest, some beginning of the new plan which you Intend to pursue"
 His appointment so soon after this speech has led many to believe that the policy he outlined has been adopt cd by the government.
 Mir. Montagu, who is only thirty eight years of age, and therefore a young man to attain cabinet rank. has had wide experience in Indian af- fairs. He Is a member of family which for years has had large finan- cial interests in India and was for four years Under. Secretary of State for India.

INCUBATION IS AID
when GROWING PEAS
Found Especially Beneficial in
Wisconsin on Light, Sandy
and Acid Soils.

That the incubation of peas espe-
cially when grown on sandy soil will
greatly increase the yield under ordi-
nary circumstances is the conclusion
reached as the result of tests carried
on this summer by the college of agrt
culture, University Of Wisconsin, in
cooperation with one of the largest of
the states canning factories, located
in La Crosse county.
Sharp differences between inoculated
and untreated peas were noticeable on
q number Of farms where the artificial
cultures were used. Although no def
mite weights have been taken at this
time, both E. B. Fred and r. Z.
Vaughan, who inspected the fields as
representatives of the college Of agri-
culture, state that the increase caused
by incubation will in certain cases
average tenfOld.
Individual plants from the untreat-
ed portion of these fields rarely had
more than n pod contafiiag two or
three inferior quality peas each, while
on the inOculated portions Of the fields
the peas had an average of four or five
pods, each having from four to six
peas of excellent quality" is the brief
summary of results secured to date.
Little or no difference between in.
oculated and untreated peas was noted
on the clay soils. The most benefit
from incubation seems to be realized
where the soil is decidedly light.

inside wooden forms are put In place
and the side walls are raised a foot
above the floor. The earth Is dug
square so as to answer for the outside
form. The top Of the hog wallow walls
are made after the fashion of q curb,
to reach UP above the ground about
2 inches to keep out dirt. A 2 by 4
is used as an outside form above the
ground.
These hog wallOws should be neatly
finished. The forms should be made
true and the curb or coping should be
beveled on the edges so us to give a
neat appearance and prevent chip
ping. The wallows are built along the
stock lane at intervals, so the hogs
may be admitted from the different
fields, either by opening the gates or
by creeps.
The yards in front Of the hOghouse
should be paved with concrete. The
work Is done by grading the ground
with a drop of about 2 inches in the
width Of the floor, which Is 10 feet.
The concrete is laid sidewalk fashion,
by marking off the area with 2 by As,
making blocks 6 feet square. The
lower part of the blocks may be made
with a lean mixture of concrete on top
of which a surface layer rich enough
to prevent water-logging Is placed.
The hog feeding floor is not intended
for hard use. so 1t is neither thick mol
expensive, but 1t answers the purpose
splendidly.
There should be a good wire fence
all around the outside, stapled to con
crete posts. The floor Is used for
feeding and as an exercising yard for
hogs during the fall and spring, and
when the weather is mild in winter.
In summer and fall the feeding floor
Is used to finish the hogs for the mar
ket. Sometimes a bunch of 20 or 80
will be fed on the floor every day for
a week or two and permitted to walk

PIGS BUSINESS TO
DEVELOP BIG FRAME
Good Pasture, Feed, Exercise
and Sanitation Are Import
ant Factors.

(From the United States Department OF
Agriculture.)
Keep the spring pigs growing all
through the summer. 1t is the pigs
business during this time to develop
a good frame, to grow bone, muscle
and vital organs, and to lay or fat.
Plenty Of pasture, some grain, exer-
else, and good sanitary quarters are
all necessary if the spring pig is to be
thrifty and profitable, say specialists
of the United States department of az
riculture.
Give the spring pigs plenty of good
pasturage. They should be kept on
pasture as long as possible and gain
the benefit of its cheap nutrients, espe-
cially mineral and protein, and its
tonic and digestive qualities. But
pigs on pasturage alone, even alfalfa,
need some grain supplement. The
amount Of grain or other concentrated
feed used would depend on how much
pasturage is available, on the cost
factor Of grain or other feeds, on the
age and condition of the pigs, and the
time ut which the farmer expects to
market them. To be ready for the
early fall markets, spring pigs must
be fed a heavier grain ration than pigs
intended for the winter market.
Less protein supplement is needed
when pigs are run on leguminOus
pastures. Under most farm conditions
the pigs will gain well on a l or 2 per
cent grain ration. The self-feeding
method makes for cheap and rapid
gains. If the grain ration Is limited,
the hand-feeding Is better. BY feed
ing once a day in the early evening,
pigs take greater advantage Of the
pasture and Craze hungrily during the
cool of the morning or afternoon.
Plenty of fresh, clean drinking water
always should be available.
Pigs on pasture usually get enough
exercise. They should have a clean.
dry. well-ventilated shelter to guard
against exposure to storms, and to sup
ply shade. A concrete wallow will add
to the pigs comfort, and a layer of
oil on the water will keep down lice,
as will an oiled sack on a rubbing
post, or sprinkling the pigs with crude
oil every two weeks.
To supply mineral matter and a ton
ic, the following mineral mixture Is
good. 1t always should be accessible.
Dissolve the copperas in hot water and
sprinkle over the mixture:
Copperas, 2 pounds; sulphur, 4
pounds; slaked lime, 4 pounds; salt,
8 pounds; wood ashes, 1 bushel; fine
charcoal, 1 bushel.

Later on, say two weeks before ship
ping, they are confined on the feed
Ing floor and In the hOghOuse until
ready for market. This makes Il COM
binatiOn summer and winter hOghOuse.
Such a complete hog department as
this requires a number of small porta-
BILE hOghOuses to be used in the fields.
Sanitary hog raising plans should be
carried out all through the different
seasons. Winter pasture as well as
spring, fall and summer pasture
should be provided In different fields
Of the farm to work In with a thor
ough system of rotation Of crops.
The portable houses may be 6 by 8
feet, simply made, with shed roofs.
They may be hauled away and placed
In any field for the accommodation Of
sows with their filters, or to make
sleeping quarters for the older pigs
when running on pasture. The size
mentioned Is small enough so that a
SOW with her litter of pigs a keep
warm when the temperature is below
freezing. This size also accommodates
about a half-dOzen shoats. They need
shelter from storms and sleeping quar-
tiers at night.
The principle of ventilation is the
same in all kinds Of farm buildings.

Seward, Alaska.-Ole BergstrOm is
an intensely religious homesteader
who has lived in Alaska for twenty

that the misfOrtunes he has endured

and inconsequential by comparison.
The whole period of Ole's residence

Ole accepts without complaint and in
the firm conviction that they are Nisi-

though If Ole ever committed a really
wrongful act in his life it is unknown
to his neighbors.

Ole unexpectedly came upon a brown
bear and her cub at II turn of the trail
on Resurrection river and, being
wise to the general habits Of brown
bears, knew it was folly to run, partic-
ularly as he had n heavy pack upon

Is planned and built for easy cleaning
and for ease and comfort in doing the
work.
On the north side of the hoghOuse
1t is advisable to build a long, narrow
dipping tank for the hogs. 1t should
be IS inches wide at the top and 8
inches wide at the bottom, inside meas
urement. The tank should be 20 feet
long on the bottom, with a 1O-foot ap-
proach at each end. The incline down
into the tank should be made smooth
and the one leading out Of the tank
should be corrugated.
The tank is made narrow for two
reasons: In the first place, less dip
ping fluid Is needed for a narrow tank,
and the second reason is that when a
hog gets started through a tank as
narrow as this, 1t cannot turn around.
The length is about sufficient to give
the dipping fluid time to soak into the
hair and skin of the animal, while 1t
is swimming through. A depth of 2
feet is sufficient for the large hogs.
1t is not filled full for the smaller
ones. The object is to have the fluid
deep enough to cover the hog all but
its nose and eyes. A portable fence.
made in panels, is placed outside OF
the trough when in use. After dip
ping, the portable fence panels are fit
ted over against the lane fence and
are wired fast to hold them upright
until needed again.
To protect hogs from vermin in the
summer time, the cheapest and most
convenient arrangement is a hog wal
low. Where a good many hogs are
kept, a number of wallows are neces-
sary. These are made Of concrete by
first digging a pit about a foot deep.
The concrete floor is made in the bot
tom of this pit by pounding down
stones and filling In between them
with concrete grout mortar. Then the

Wear and tear on the storage bat
terry Of a car is too much of an item
to be ignored, and everything that
tends to keep 1t down is worthy Of con-
sideration. One very good thing not
to do is to leave the headlights burn
ing at full intensity when the a Is

current, which is drawn direct from
the battery, and a waste Of the life Of
the lamps, but the glare Is apt to have
an unpleasant effect upon the eyes Of
people forced to face 1t.
