Kerensky's Rise Sudden

herensky has risen with such sud
deness out of the turmoil that it
is too early to take his measure
ments. He look big.
Who is Kerensky9 He is minis.
ter Of justice in the Russian provi-
sional government. He is a Siber.
ian, from an interior province. He
is a lawyer, an agitator, a man of
the people. Siberia, big as it is,
couldn't hold him. He came west
ward to the empires capital and
impressed himself upon steadily
growing band of followers.
kerensky was elected a member
OF the duma. He at once made
himself troublesome. His scathing
tongue caused his election from the
chamber on several occasions. He
formed little party called the
Group of Toll" and allied him
self with the social democrats. He
strongly favored the war and split
his following by his aggressive at.
tltude towards Germany.
"Our neighbor over the way. "
ne is quoted as saying, "has the eff
ficlency and the hunger of con-
quest. We have the men and the
LOYALTY. With patriotism to offset
the proficiency of the drill ground,
we have nothing to fear"
For weeks he has been haranru-
ing the Russian troops along the
western front border All the re.
sources of his fiery eloquence have
been used in the effort to entlusc
the lukewarm fighting men against
the German foe.
Russia first duty, he has veh-
emently asserted at camp and mil
ltary post, is to defeat and democrat
ize Germany.
1t is a great task that the fiery
orator has set himself and success
should mean a great reward.

a student, picturesque student.

man of a summer stock company
He is 80 years old, thin, dark. ner-

ported that he is afflicted with
tuberculosis.
A correspondent has described
his in action.
They lifted the slight figure to 81
mess table and crowded about him
and every moment the group en-
larged. Before he finished his ap-
peal there may have been 1000
soldiers within reach of his unus,,-
ally effective voice. When he be-
gan there was no applause. There
were several rude Interruptions,
but these he speedily silenced. He
talked rapidly with many gestures
and much head shaking, and as he
talked the men drew closer. There.
were no more Interruptions. There
was something magnetic about the
vlrlle voice. the wide flung arms
the mobile face. And when be
finished and dropped his arms !,
Wild cheer went up-which WAS
more like roar. 1t meant that
he had succeeded.

The feed allowed brood sows Just

farrow all the pigs dead.
A suitable grain ration recommend

station for sows prior to narrowing is
one consisting Of corn, 400 parts; mid
dlings. 300 parts; tankage, 100 parts,
and bran, 80 parts. Oilmeal may be
substituted for tankage and the
amount increased to $50 parts in the
mixture.
A week or ten days prior to farrow-
Ing the sow should be removed to a
narrowing pen. which should be dry,
comfortable and roomy. narrowing
pens In a centralized hoghouse eight
feet square. with lots opening outside,

hours after narrowing the SOW should
be fed very lightly. Heavy feeding at
this time will produce heavy milk flow,
