addressed to the Czar couple of days
before his abdication. The letter, writ

Gold style), 1917, reads:
My Darling: With sorrow and in
ner grief have | let you depart with
out being accompanied by our darling
baby Cthe Czarevitch.) What an aw-
full time we are living; and our part
ing makes it worse, as cannot fondle
you when you feel tired and worried.
God placed on your shoulders a heav,'
cross. 1 innerly wish that I could help
you bear this heavy burden, brave
ana courageous. With all, my soul
suffer with you more than words can
express.
What remains for me to do but pray
to God, and again pray. Our dear
friend (Rasputin) now in the other
world, also prays to God for you.
There he is nearer to us. But how
should love to hear his faithful, calm
ing voice, convinced that God will
recompensate you for all you must
now suffer and bear; but how long
must we still wait? Things seem
that our position is bettering.
My darling, only be resolute. Show
your firm, powerful hand; that is Just
what the Russians need. You never
stopped showing them your love and
kindness. Let them also know your
firm grip. They themselves ask for
II. Many have said to me lately, 1--WE
want the whip" That is awful, but
such are Clav natures.
The firmest and strongest resolu-
ton, accompanied by cruelty, is the
warmest love. Since they learned to
know you and Alexander Protopopoff
Minister of the interior) they are of
the caIibre that they must learn to
fear lyou. Your love is not enough
for hem. The child adoring his
fathef must also fear to give him
pain and disobey him. Sometimes
one must drive with tight reins, some
times with slack. but always. firm
hand must be felt. Then Kindness
will be better appreciated,
They don't understand just soft
ness. Human hearts are strange. The

Win the allied Armies in France
and Belgium, Nov (by the Associat-
ed Press.) )--Alliod troops today began
the siege Of the city OF Ghent, already
surrounded virtually on three sides.
The assault of The city was witnessed
by Queen Elizabeth of Belgium and
hundreds of her on-combatant sub-
jects.
Belgian, French and American SOL
diers this afternoon had pushed m
to the eastern outskirts of the beloaC-
ured city with comparatively light re-
sistance from the enemy, who appar-
emily has evacuated the place.
As the allied troops advanced on
the city the setting was a most dra-
matte one. Civilians mingled with the
soldiers AT many points, and as the in
fanty moved forward, pleasure boats
moved hither and thither along the
winding canals on the western edge
carrying civilians who had gathered
to see the restoration of their beloved
city. Within the little white cottages
along the banks of the canal were
German machine gunners whose
weapons dominated the waterways and
the roads. For some reason most of
the guns were silent.
Guns Are silent.
Overhead Belgian airplanes swirled
and dived like great birds, but there
was no challenge from the German
anti-aircraft guns. Into this scene of
mimic warfare came the queen of Bel
eium, who motored to within two and
one-half miles of the city
Queen Elizabeth looked across the
battle line upon the towering spiraIs
and red-roof buildings which stood
out like n painting in the bright No
vember sun. Even the United States
was represented among the spectators
of this extraordinary scene, for four
officials stationed in Holland who had
happened to he in Bruges on business.

still closer about Ghent. As they
drove in, the civilians who had
flocked to the scene Joined the troops
at many places. Automobiles ap-
preached to within a mile of Ghent
in perfect safety.
War has little damaged the coun-
tryside about Ghent. Yesterday the
German guns threw shells into ham,
let's near the front, but this section of
Belgium shows little signs of devasta-
ton.
Whether the Germans actually have
withdrawn from Client or intend to
hold on a little longer, was not clearly
apparent today. However. it seemed
only matter of time before Belgian
troops would be marching through
the city. whose streets have rung to
the tramp of the German soldiery for
four long years.

GOOD RAM ALWAYS CHEAPEST
Scrub Animal 10 Particularly Expen-
sive at Present High Prices Of
Wool and Lambs.

A scrub ram is expensive at any time
but doubly so at the present high price
OF wool and lambs. A good ram has
many times proved to be more than
half the flock" Many successful and
progressive sheep breeders trace their
start on the road to success to the pur-
chase of a good ram. Sometimes the
price of the ram has looked high, but
time proved it to be the cheapest and
by far the best investment ever made.
At the University Of Missouri college
of agriculture good mutton ram, such
as any farmer could purchase at $50
to $40 this season, bred to western
(Colorado) ewes, sired lambs that av-
eraged two and half pounds more at
three months of age, when they were
marketed, than lambs, out of the same
class of ewes, which were sired by an
inferior or scrub ram. Furthermore
lambs sired by the superior ram sold
for 60 per cent more per 100 pounds
than by the inferior ram.

FARM
ANIMALS
CORRECT RATI0Ns FOR PIGS
Animals on Pasture Will Gain Rapidlv
II Given Additional Allowance
Of Grain Feed.

Pigs, granted on pasture, will gain
pound or more day from weaving
to weight of 200 to 25O pounds, while
those getting little or no grain will
gain but one-half to three-quarters of
a pound per day. This will bring
spring pigs to marketable weight in
early fall, at the period of high prices,
whereas those being pastured only are
not ready for market until a month or
two later. A grain ration, by bring
ing the hogs to an earlier market, re-
duces the time Of feeding, the risk, and
the interest on the investment. The
animals are in higher condition, with
a finer and more palatable meat and
fat.
Farmers substituting pasture entire
ly for grain and other concentrated
feeds to their market hogs through the
summer will find that before market
ing in the fall it will be advisable to
feed grain to harden the soft fat and
meat and put on additional weight.
Light but steady grain feeding on
pasture, however, gives better results
than a heavier feeding during a short
er finishing period.
