But one question Is bolnfc' nuked nt present in this unhappy countrr Where is the revolution loadlnR Kuasla? It Is the one all important suhlcct be fore the pooplo, and happy would be thn man who could foroaoe Just what is ahead. IJut this is Impossible. Tho best informed men can only kiiobs at what may come to pass. All is chaos and disorder, and what is worso, thor is no light ahead. Russia today might well be likenod to a giant staggering down a unnu auoy iii tuo blackest mid niftht. lie knows not whore his nat leads; ho cannot tall whoro pitfalls are before him. The end of it all can only be guossou anu no prediction is of any value. For this revolution is a terribl thing. It has paralysed industry, it has ruinod all business, it has tied up tho postal and telegraph service, and when it doalred, it has effectually stoppod all railroad truffle. It has been re sponsible for crimes unspeakable; it has caused tho blood of Husiian pat riots to flow from ono end of tho cm piro to tho othor; it has arrayed class Bgainst class and man against man; it has bred mutiny in tho navy and crest od dissension among tho soldiers; it has caused tho peasants to riso against tho tyrants who for centuries have dominated thorn and ground them to tho oarth. It has practicnlly nullified tho authority of the government and given to tho proletariat powers he never dreamed of possessing 12 months ago because lie nas learned now lie may bend all authority, ovon that of the cm, to hie will. MARTIN TO FRONT. South Dakota Representative Wants Commerce Controlled. Chicago, Dec. 11. Tho Washington correspondent ol the Fost wires as fol lows: Ebon W. Martin, of South Dakota hitherto countod as one of the most conservative Republicans in tho houso hns brought trouble to, tho door of tho party leaders by introducing a bill of a substanco so strongly paternalistic that it casts some of tho radical measures into the shado and by comparison makes the others appear as bulwarks of conservatism. Mr. Martin's measure alms to give the government control of every cor poriation in tho country that is engaged in interstate commerce in fuel or food supplies. Two years ago Representa tive Martin forced consideration of his resolution asking for investigation of the beet Industry. The resolution passed the house and the beef inquiry is on. HOCH STARTS OIL WAR. Would Spread Kansas Laws Over Entire Nation. Topeka, Dec. 11. Governor Hoch has started a national war on the Standard Oil company.

Now he wants the same thins to happen in the other states ol the Union and accordingly is Bending letters to every other Btato gov ernor asking for the paseago of the samo laws that Kansas has now on tho statute books. He recites tho facts in tho Kansas fight and explains the plpo lino com mon carrier, tho maximum freight rate and the anti-discrimination laws which cut tho Standard tenncles, and con eludes: "It is extremely drelrablo to extend the operation of these principles of government to other states, that the sreatest possible cood may come of them. I therefore moat heartily re commend these enactments to the fa vorable consideration of the governors of sister states, and trust they may think tho lubloct of sufficient import ance,to recommend to thoir respective egislaturctt, and I urgo tho legislatures of tho several statcB to study these Kansas enactments and If thought wise to incorporate thorn or thoir essential features into tho laws of their respect- ve states." Big Qamo for Roosevelt. Washington, Dec. 11. Major M. II. W. Llewellyn, United StatcB attornoy for Now1 Mexico, took luncheon nt tho white houso today and urged tho prea' dent to visit him noxt spring for tho purposo of hunting jaguars cr leopards, which nro found along tho Moxlcan border.

Tho Santo Domingo treaty was roforrod bnck to tho committoo on foreign relations. It is understood that it is thodeslro of the administration that tho treaty be modi fied by striking out tho provision au thorizing tho president to Bond nn armed force to Santo Domingo, if nt any time necessary. It is the belief of frionds of tho treaty that, if this pro vision were removed, there would bo less opposition to ratification. Caltlralor or HnrroTr. This is the device of a West Vlr glnln farmer and Bcems to possess merit. He says: I send herewith an Illustration of a cultivator or harrow that I find very handy when sowing grass seed In corn at the last working, also use It for cultivating potatoes and otlier crops to some extent. The frame, A A A, Is of 2x3-Inch stuff, is 3 feet long. The two pieces, K II, are of lx2-lnch stuff. 20 Inches long, with holes about 2 Inches apart, sb tho harrow can be ad Justed to any desired width, from 1 to 3 feet. The piece, C, to hitch to, is 2x3 Inches and Vj feet long on top HANDY CULTIVATOU OB IIAItnOW. side, firmly bolted to center piece of frame. At D D there are two Iron plates iy4xlix5 Inches, with three holes In each; these hold AAA together. Use bolts of proper length for all of the frame. The teeth should be of Btcel, well sharpened. The handles can be taken from some cultivator or plow and readily adjusted to the cul-' tlvator. The two pieces, E B, should be of xl-lnch stuff, and as long as desired. All should be bolted firmly together for best results. Son In Poultry Ilonne. The time-honored plan of building poultry houses was to face them due south, when, as a matter of fact, they should be faced southeast, which gives the sun in the house early In the morning when the poultry need It most during the winter, nnd then the sun shines In the house nearly or quite all day, especially If n window Is placed In the southwest side. In cold cli mates It Is not wise to have entire glass fronts, for the action of the air on the glass after the sun goes down makes such houses very cold nt night. In the average poultry house, hold ing from twenty-five to fifty hens, win dows four by eight on two sides of the house would he sufficiently large, and even then some way should be pro vided for covering them at night For this purpose nothing Is better than old burlap hung on n roller with button holes worked at Intervals along the sides bo that when down It can be fastened over carriage buttons driven In the sides of the casing. This will keep the house snug and warm even on cold winter nights. A Ilarrel Feed nude. An Ideal way of feeding n few sheep or calves is to take a large barrel, such as crackers are packed in, and cut out openings In the staves between the two layers of hoops, making these open lngs Just large enough so that the anl mal can get Its head In and out read ily. Place the barrel In position nnd hold It In place by driving several stakes into the ground ami fastening them to the barrel. Of course the top of the barrel Is open. The hay or oth er roughage Is thrown In the top nnd the animals eat through the holes cut In tho staves as described. This Is a simple feeding rack, which any one could make nnd one which will save much waste of roughage. Tho Illustra tion shows tho Idea so -clearly that no further explanation Is needed. Indlan npolls News. PrnnuU Gooil Iloir Feed. The numerous estimates made by the Arknnsas Station as regards the yield of hay from a crop of peanuts varies from ono to very nenrly three tons per ncre. TJils liny Is usually worth at least $10 a ton nnd may Im considered a by-product when the nuts uro harvested for market. In connec tion with tho value of pennuts ns n forngo crop, It may be noted that In Virginia there is a muu who him been accumulating a tidy fortune through tln quality of tho hams cured and packed by lilni, Those hams havo a rich nnd sweet flavor which makes them in great demand at Increased prices. Tho packer each year goes through neighboring States buying up razor-backs which he has shipped to his farm. It is tliero that they arc glveu a food which Imparts tho tltwor nnd sweetness nothing moro than pennuts. lu the Dnlry. Queer but true, where salt is sprin kled thickest butter Is yellowest, lhe cow known by lustinct what feed ration suits her best. Cement floors cost more nt first, but their permnnency makes them cheap. Dairyman, study your cows nnd then yourself and seo if you are fitted to take care of them. From 02 to 04 degrees Is about the proper temperature for the rinse water In winter butter-making. Work and l'lny for Horien. What tho horses of the farm havo to do depends upon the nature of tho work nnd how well used they are to It, consequently the horse should bo treated accordingly. If the horses havo heavy spring plowing to do, with moro or less road work in the summer, then harvesting and more plowing In tho fall, and It Is Intended to use them for heavy drafting in the winter, It will pay to divide the work In some way so that they will have a little chance for rest. The argument that rainy days nnd Sundays are sufficient for the animals docs not hold good In all cases. In our experience we find It pays to have reasonably short hours for the horses, and not to give them driving every day there happens to bo a Httlo lull In tho work of the farm. We feed strictly In accordance with the work to be done, nnd contrive, In some way, so that every horse will have a turn at tho pasture, even though it be only an hour or two at night. It Is not a good plan to attempt to carry the horses through from year to year without tho pasture. Green food cut and pi iced in the manger Is not tiv same. The open air, the freedom from the harness, the yielding of the soft turf and the biting of the gnss are essential tn horses, and It pays to let them have a spell at It Feed Buff for Animal. The driver of every team should be supplied with a bag of some kind for holding feed for his horses, as he sel- dom Is sure where he will be when feeding time comes. Some drivers are very care ful In this respect while others make use of anything that Is available. Quite a large number of feed bags are In use; the majority being feed ii ao. constructed so that they can be attached and suspended to the side of the horse's head. This does not give the horse any freedom to move his head without moving the bag also. A Philadelphia man has pat ented an exceedingly simple feed bag which overcomes this fault an Illustra tion of which Is shown here. The bot tom and sides are made of canvas or other flexible material, while the top consists of a circular frame divided Into two sections, which are connected by small loops. Supporting the bag nro two metal rods, one on each side, having hooks at the end which fit Into the loops In the frame. In the center and at the other end of the rods are circular loops which are shaped to fit over the shaft of the vehicle. It can easily be seen how easily this could be done, the bag always remaining in position where the horse conld con veniently reach the feed, at the same time being able to move his bead free ly. This feed bag has the additional advantage that It can be folded up when not In use. Special Dairy Train School. One of the latest educational enter prises Is the special dairy train sent out by a creamery company for the purpose of reaching farmers in the rich lands of northwestern Missouri and southwestern Iowa. The train car ried nn exhibition car with dairy appli ances and dairy machinery of every sort Otlier cars were fitted up to seat an audience. Experts In dairying gave short talks at each stopping place, the use of appliances being demonstrated and Instruction given on feeding stuffs and balanced rations. The success of tho enterprise was such that In many places the train's facilities proved too s'.iall, nnd overflow nnd outdoor meet lugs were necessary. Fodder-IIaallnar Sled.
