RUSSIANS HIT By fAMINES
Shortages Of Food Date From 1000

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
fanines on record was that of 1000,
with a death toll of 5OO.OOO peasants.
Cats, dogs and rats were eaten, and
even the strong overcame the weak.
Human flesh was sold in the markets.
Three Russian famines Of recent
date were ameRs the most severe in
history-in 1891, 1906 and 1911. Dur
ing the ten years following the first
of these, the government allotted
nearly 125,OOO.OOO 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-
sons under eighteen years old and over
fifty-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 100000 persons, while g..
100000 were reduced to starvation.
Weeds, the bark Of trees, and bitter
bread made Of acorns, constituted
the chief diet.

PLAN FOR BUILDING UP SOIL
Acid Phosphate, Limestone, Tile and
Manure Form Basis for lnereas-
Ing Fertility.

The Ohio experiment station has
worked out during series Of years a
plan for soil building which farmers
in any state might study. As basis
Of comparison, 1t Is shown that certain
fertility standards may be adopted.
On a 160-acre farm fertility standards
AZ compared with results secured in
experimental work at the Ohio station
show that 16 tons of acid phosphate
per year, q carload of limestone. mile
Of tile and the production of 400 loads
of manure annually would form prof.
table basis for Increasing soil fer
tility.
This would also call for the grow.
ing of about 40 acres Of clover, as the
use Of legumes in connection with
manure, phosphorus and limestone on
drained land, produces the best re-
suits. Such a plan of fertility recon.
structien is regarded as necessary be.
cause the greater part Of the soil iD
Ohio has been farmed for at least fifty
years and these fertility elements must
be supplied in reasonable quantities
now, or later in very much larger
amounts, at an increased cost.

the darkness and managed to elude

Picking up the first hat she came
to, the young woman tried 1t on, paid

It has been said that the young

rearing of brood at appropriate times.
These factors must not be lacking at
the right times, and If any one is omit.
ted it 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 next years crop be reduced.
In practicing cellar wintering It Is
unnecessary to leave so much honey
with the bees during the time that they
are in the cellar, and it 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
must be in the hive to keep them
through that period in good condition.
Probably large part Of the failure
of beekeepers in practicing cellar win
tering comes from the fact that BE-
fore and after the bees are in the eel
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 case of wintering outdoors,
It II wasteful to attempt to winter
weak colonies. 1t is difficult to set
standards Of colony strength at this
season, but 1t is unwise to attempt
to winter colonies that are not strong
enough to have brood sufficient to Ill
three or four Langstroth frames two
months before the first killing frost.
II the colonies In the apiary are not Of
the proper strength, 1t is wise to unite
until the proper strength is reached.
It Is Of the greatest importance that
every colony have q good queen In or
der that brood rearing may continue
In the fall and may then again proceed
rapidly In the spring. Usually It Is
best to requiem at least every two
years, but Il good wintering is prac-
ticed the colonies will come out Of win
ter quarters. 50 strong and will build
up 80 rapidly In the spring that the
queens will soon wear out, making II
