country contained in letter received
recently in New York. Her castles

band died, he having caught cold in
the trenches. Then l was in despair

Il beg Of you never to mention my

fear Of bolshevik tyranny moves the

tial family. Excuse the incoherences |;

A graphic tale Of the misery that
spreads itself over Russia is unfolded
in the letter. Wholesale pillaging and
murder by bolsheviki. Germans, Films
and others swept the land clear of its
wealth.
Both the noblewoman who wrote the
letter and the woman who received it
are we'll known. The danger involved
fer the former makes it advisable that
not only the names of the persons but
the names Of the localities mentioned
be withheld from publication. The let

who deliberately closed their eyes to

thus plundered and so badly treated

"Then came the great catastrophe !;
the German troops fraterniZing with

refusing to fight. The Germans even

Dear Mr.. Mole, wait until finish

lures were going to bed they wished
eaeh other good winter, because,
tney said, they were going to sleep for
the winter.
I heard them explain the saying to
those who didn't understand. They
SAID that when people went to bed
tney wished each other a good night,
they hoped they would sleep we'll for
night.
SO when the creatures went to bed
Tor the winter they wished each other
a good winter. That would be the
length Of time they would sleep for,
you see.
And 1t sounded to me like some
thing very sensible. Why should
creatures who want to have a good,
sound winters sleep wish each other
only good night. Why, that, to my
mind. would be most insulting.
Don't you think it would be insult

was going to sleep for the winter,
Good nightv 1t would appear as
though we only wanted him to rest
for night and then wake up and
then sleep for another night perhaps,

Don't You think that would be
rude? Don't you also think that the
saying is good one, Mr.. Mole, saying
good winter to creatures who go to

II said that / was wishing you

1t was the same idea, only another sea-

TO KEEP PERMANENT
Z PASTURES STOCKED
Hogs Relish Grasses When the
Leaves Are Young.
Good Plan to Have Some Other Stock
Eat Coarser Plants--Safe to Craze
Shotes at Rate of Ten to
Fifteen to Acre.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture
Hogs do not relish grasses except
when the leaves are young and tender
Hence it is necessary, for the best re-
suits, to keep permanent pastures we'll
stocked. 1t is usually advisable to
have some other stock infthe pastures
with the hogs to eat the coarser plants.
Cattle are best suited for this purpose.
Moving the pasture in late spring
should be practiced If the plants be-
come too far advanced.
In most cases 1t is advisable to have
some of the best supplementary for
age crops to Craze In addition to the
pasture. A safe rule is to have at
least one acre of good permanent pas
ture to each brood SOW kept. or
course this acreage could be reduced
or the number Of hogs increased where
a complete succession Of supplement
airy forage crops Is raised or where
the land is very productive. A greater
area should be allowed if the grazing
is poor.
The carrying capacity of the various.
supplementary forage crops varies
widely, according to the growth Of the
crop. AS a rule 1t is safe to Craze
them at the rate OF ten to fifteen 100
pound shotes to the acre. greater
number will shorten the grazing pc
Rod, and fewer animals will length
en- it.
