RUSSIANS HIT BY FAMlNES
Shortages Of Food Date From 1900
5000, 600 Persons Reduced to Star
walton IN Famine of 1911.

Next to the proletariat of India and
China, the Russian peasant feels the
pinch of poverty and hunger more
keenly and more frequently than any
other. says the National Geographic
society. One of the earliest Russian
famines on record was that OF 1900,
with a death toll of 100000 peasants.
Cats. dogs and rats were eaten, and
even the strong overcame the weak.
Human flesh was sold i'm the markets.
Three Russian famines of recent
date were among the most severe In
history-in 1891. 1906 and 1911. Dur
Ing the ten years following the first
of these, the government allotted
nearly SIPS. 100000 for relief. but the
sums were not always judiciously ex-
pended. In 1906 the government gave
40 pounds Of -four a month TO all per-
sops under eighteen years old and over
ffty-nine. Those between these ages
received no allowance, and the older
and younger sharded their pittance
with the others.
The famine OF 1911 extended over
one-third the area OF Europe and af-
fected 10000. 900 persons. while s.
100000 were reduced 10 starvation.
Weeds, the bark of trees, and hitter
bread made of acorns. constituted
the chief diet.

TRACTOR WON'T JUMP FENCES
Some Of the Arguments in Favor of
Its More General Use-Wiii Not
Bite, Balk, or Run Away.

Some of the many arguments in IA
vor, of the tractor are given as follows
in Farm Life:
1t will not bite, balk or run away.
1t will not shy at a loose scrap of pa
per i'm the road. 1t will not kick the
stall at night and keep the tired farm
err and his wife awake. 1t will not
crib the hanger.
1t will not break out OF the barn at
night, jump the fence and eat your
~neighbor's cabbages.
1t will not lie down in a particularly
moist spot in the barnyard, roil over
on it's back and elevate its four feet
into the air.
1t does not have TO be curried.
sponged off or treated with horse lini-
ment.
1t is not addicted to collie. cough,
heaves, SPAWN Or wind-gall.
1t will not snort in your ear or whisk
it's tail in your face.
1t will not "haw" when you tell Il
to "gee" or ~vice-versa.
You do not have to pull on the lines
and holler your head off when you
want 1t TO stop.
1t does not "up and die" just as the
spring work is coming On.

BOYS BOOST PUREBRED PIGS
increase in Number Of Breeders in
Indiana County Credited Largely
to Club Influence.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
The increase in the number Of
breeders Of purebred animals in Clay
county, Ind. is largely credited t the
influence Of the local pig club. Two
years ago there were less than ten
breeders of purebred hogs in the roun-
ty, but at present registered hogs can
be found on more than 100 farms.
The boy and girl members Of the cluf
are the pioneers in the keeping OF
purebred hogs. Recently ten big-type

ity and valued at $50 each, were is
sued to the members of the club by
the local county agent.

rearing of brood at appropriate times.
These factors must not be lacking at
the right times, and il any one is omit
ted 1t may prevent the bees from gath
ering the crop OF the following season.
These three factors do not apply equal
ly throughout the period Of relative
inactivity, but as certainly as anyone
Of them is decreased, just so certainly
will mex years crop be reduced.
In practicing cellar wintering 1t is
unnecessary to leave so much honey
with the bees during the time that they
are In the cellar, and IL is not neces-
sary during that period to leave room
for the rearing Of brood. During the
coolest part of the winter the bees
need especially protection from cold
and wind, although enough good stores
mus be in the hive to keep them
through that period in good condition.
Probably a large part Of the failure
of beekeepers in practicing cellar win
tering m from the fact that be-
fore and after the bees are in the cell
lar the important factors Of stores and
breeding room have not been adequate
ly supplied. Before the bees are put
into the cellar they must have room
for breeding and stores in abundance,
and after they are taken out these two
factors must be present In greatly in
creased abundance.
Necessity Of Strong Colonies.
As In the ease of wintering outdoors.
1t is wasteful to attempt to winter
weak colonies. 1t is difficult to set
standards Of colony strength at this
season. but II Is unwise to attempt
to winter colonies that are not strong
enough to have brood sufficient to fill
three or four Langstroth frames two
months before the first killing frost.
II the colonies In the apiary are not Of
the proper strength. ii Is wise to unite
until the proper strength Is reached.
1t e. Of the greatest Importance that
every colony have a good queen in Or
der that brood rearing may continue
III the fall and may then again proceed
rapidly in the spring. Usually 1t is
best to requiem at least every two
years, but II good wintering is prac-
ticed the colonies will come out Of win
ter quarters so strong and will build
up SO rapidly In the spring that the
queens will soon wear out, making 1t
safer to requiem every year. To get
the best results from r~equeening. all
Young queens should be introduced so
that they begin to lay about rwo

PHYSICALLY FIT
AT ANY AGE

It isn't age, it's careless living that
butts men down and out" Keep your
internal organs in good condition and
you will always be physically fit.
The kidneys are the most over
worked organs in the human body.
When they break down under the
strain and the deadly uric acid ac-
cumulates and crystallizes look out!
These sharp crystals tear and scratch
the delicate urinary channels causing
c~xcruciating pain and set up irrita-
lions which may cause premature de-
generation and often do turn into
deadly Bright's Disease.
One of the first warnings of slug
gish kidney action is pain or stiffness
in the small of the back, loss of appe-
lite, Indigestion or rheumatism.
DO not wait until the danger is upon
you. At the first indication of trouble
go after the cause at once. Get a trial

SLAMS ROYAL ELEPHANT HUNT
Kings Order for Roundup Is Signal

STIMULATE GROWTH
Admonition Frequently Heard From
Authorities Is Not to Feed Pigs
Too Much Corn.

DO not feed pigs too much corn
while they are young. This is an ad-
monition we frequently hear from au-
thorities OF pig raising. Here is the
eason why: Corn IL a fat-producing
feed and does not stimulate growth.
What is needed is a protein feed: that
Is. one which ranks high In protein.
Protein makes muscle and stimulates
growth. Tankage will do very wen,
but often It Il impossible to secure It.

GIRL CLUBS WILL

Three States VIII Organize
Here at Early Date to Stan
dardize Products.

The Memphis Chamber of&Commerce
farm bureau will undertake to develop
the girls canning clubs Of Arkansas,
Mississippi and Tennessee into a real
Industry, turning u in great auanti-
ties aimed products which can be
marketed at current prices. The heads
OF the home demonstration departments
OF the three states have been asked to
attend a conference at the Chamber Of
commerce on March rs to receive the
plan OF the farm bureau and discuss 1t.
MISS Susie V. Powell, assistant d.
rector Of home demonstration work, A.
& M. college, S~tarkville, viii repre-
sent Mississippi; Miss Connie ]. Buns
lager. home demonstration agent, Little
ROCK, VIII represent Arkansas and
Hiss Virginia Moore, director Of home
demonstration work, U. Of T., Knox
vile, will represent Tennessee, other
home demonstration agents and can
ming club leaders of the three states
are expected to come. J. r. Paine,
manager or the United Stores of Mem
phis; J, M. Fly, manager Of the Mr.
Bowers Stores, Memphis, and A.. l.,
Parker, Of the Memphis Hotel COM
pany. will be invited TO attend the con-
ference. C. ]. Haase, chairman Of the
farm bureau; DIR. II. r. Lloyd, direc-
tor, and II. o. Pate. market director,
will present the plan for the bureau.
Last year the clubs in a few coun-
ties in Mississippi shipped a number
Of carloads to environments at whole
sale prices, but this is about all the
real commercial business that has been
done in the tri-state territory. 1t IS
believed, however, that the several
thousand girls in the canning clubs Of
the three states, II properly organized,
could turn out a product that will de-
mand a good price in the open mar
kets.
It is generally conceded that the can
ming clubs have produced canned goods,
superior to the average run of factory
products, and It is believed that by
maintaining THIS superior quality the
canning club brand can be popularized
and the public desiring a superior quail
ity of canned goods taught to demand t,
