The Idea of reclaiming Russian

Mher valuable ideas it sprang up in
h fertile mind of Peter the Great,
who built his capital in a swamp, be
umnae It was the only place he could
find affording access to the sea. Peter
elected the Holmogori district In the
province of Archangel for raising
Dutch cattle because he noticed the
resemblance between the grass of
Holland and that of the Holmogori
afliatrict. It Is now pointed out that
srt small expense the vast swamps In
Che province of Archangel can be
turned Into lands covered with the
Holmogori grass, and that after a few
years a large portion of it will be fit
Cor raising cereals and vegetables. A
Systematic reclamation movement is

Germany Is fast becoming Ameri

what will strike Americans them
selves as the best evidence of Ameri

tained In the mounting cost of living

WU FAVORS REVOLUTIONISTS
Dr. Wu Ting Fang, former Chinese
minister to the United States, has ac
cepted the post of secretary of foreign
affairs In the new Chinese cabinet,
throwing the weight of his vast expe
rience in statecraft to the revolution
ary cause. Wen Tsung Yao, another
prominent Chinese, has Joined the
rebel cause. News of the action of
these statesmen caused a sensation
in Washington.
The weight of Minister Wu's Im
mense' Influence thrown to the revo
lutionary movement has startled the
Pekln government. It means to a
great extent the Americanization of
China.
While representing his country In
America he took a vital Interest In all
things American. He, was a close stu
dent of the United States republican
form of government and its Institu
tions and was thoroughly imbued with
American Ideas. The Chinese arede-
manaing a republican government
with every chance of success. Under the leadership of Mr. Wu Ms American
training is bound to have a tremendous Influence on the new Chinese lnstltu
toins. It spells progress for China, for Mr. Wu's ideals are far in advance of
the vast majority In his own country.
Mr. Wu traveled all over the United States, Interrogating every one, even
his interviewers, about the country, picking up a vast amount of information.
He undoubtedly is the best known Chinaman in America and came closest to
theliearts of the people there through his remarkable wit and wisdom. His
action has stirred the United States to a keen Interest In the success of the
revolutionists.

RATION FOR THE BROOD SOW
Hog Breeder Tells How H Obtains
Satisfactory Results Feed la
Increased la Winter. "
The following ration for brood
sows has given as good results as 1
could ask for, says a writer lp the
Breeders' Gazette. While jjmlght
sot prove to be the best under all
conditions, tt has given very satis
ractory results undec my conditions.
Four of my sows were purchased
when seven months of age, then
weighing 160 pounds apiece. They
were kept another month, then bred.
Now they are 17 months old. have
'arrowed their second Utters and will
weigh from 300 to 400 pounds hi
sood, thrifty breeding condition.
They have been fed somewhat near
the following each day per head in
iddltlon to whatever they pick up In
IS acres of woods pasture, a portion
Df which contains a good stand of
bluegrass and white clover: Shelled
:orn, four pounds; shorts, one pound;
bran, six pounds; tankage, one
Tourth pound. During the winter
months, when the weather is cold
ind the ground bare, the amount of
feed is Increased as it Is also when
the litters become large enough to
lake all of the milk that the sow can
supply. Just a few days before the
sows are due to farrow I add a hand
ful of oil meal per sow to their feed
each day, which relieves any ten-
lency toward constipation and causes
the pigs to arrive In good shape.
Cracklings would answer the same
purpose.
OLD TANK FOR FEED TROUGH
Abandoned Kitchen Boiler Put to
Practical Use by Texas Farmer
Cost Is Merely Nominal.
The writer lately saw the two feed
ing devices herewith Illustrated on
the farm of a Texas onion grower, and
upon Investigating found that they
were two old abandoned kitchen range
boilers, bought for twenty-tive cents
each from an old scrap Iron pile, says
writer In the Homestead. Many
farmers hare one of the old boilers
an the farm and In case you do not
nave one they will be found in the
scrap pile at any blacksmith's. The
manner of using them Is so clearly
leflned In the drawings that further
elaboration Is unnecessary. Fig. 1
shows how the old boiler was used for
making a feed manger and Fig. 2
hows how a second boiler was used
for making a hog trough.
Treatment Before Planting.
Just as soon as the trees are re
ceived from the nursery they should
be well healed In, In moist soil, even
though they are to be planted within
a few days.
Do not stand the trees up In the
original bunches and throw some
loose earth against them, but cut the
bunches open, spread the trees thinly
In trenches extending east and west,
that are deep enough and wide enough
to hold the roots, and leap the tops
toward the south st an angle of about
45 degrees.
Thoroughly cover the roots, and
from sixteen to twenty Inches of the
stems, tramp the earth firmly around
the roots, and the trees will not Buf
fer. In healing In large quantities use
a series of short trenches, ualng the
earth from one to cover the trees of
the preceding row, and let the top
overlap, all leaning in the same di
rection. , ; ; TT

FORM FOR A CONCRETE TANK
One
Shown In Illustration That
Not Break and Will Come
Out Easily.
win
I have found an inside form for
building concrete tanks that Is a great
Improvement on anything that 1 have
yet seen. You cannot possibly- break
It, and it comes out easily 24 hours
after the tank Is poured, says a writer
in Farm and Home. The form is made
Tank Form.
In four pieces, but instead of
cut at the corners, the cut is
being
made
Just around the corner In each case,
as shown In the illustration.
The best way to make it is to build
It of the required size, then take a
saw and cut down the sides a few
Inches from each corner, as at a.
Make these cuts diagonal, so the form
will pull apart easily. Then nail a
board, b, securely over each cut, and
allow the nail heads to project slight
ly, so that they can easily be pulled
with a hammer.
Merits of Cows.
Each breed of cows has some pe
culiarly distinctive merits all Its
own. While the question of "which
bred" may puzzle some, it Is really ot
less Importance than "which cows In
the breed.' If the Jerseys give richer
milk, the Holstelns give more, and the
Ayrshires produce a better type ol
beef animal In case part of the calf
crop must be made Into steers.
Good Rack for Fodder.
While fodder when given out ot
doors should be fed In feed racks and
not on the ground, It Is Imperative
for the ground surrounding the racks
to slope away in all directions, and
often It would be better still If tile
drained.
Weaning a Foal.
When the foal Is flrBt weaned, milk
a part of the mare'G milk out twice
each day for about a week to prevent
a fevered condition of the udder
Bathing the udder with warm milk b,!
milked out Is good.
Brood Mare Profitable.
There Is no more profitable Invest
ment for the average farmer or
business man. nor one which will
bring more pleasure to the household
than one or more high bred brood
mares.
Hog's Thin Covering.
It should be remembered that a
hog's coat of hair Is not heavy nor ol
the kind to keep out extreme cold. Con
sequently It feels the change In tern

Klndness Is Best.
Kindness Is one of the cheapest and
best rations you can feed to your

HE republic of Bolivia,
the third largest of the
South American republics.
Is one of the two countries
of the American continents
whiuu possesses no seaeoast. It ex
tends' over an area of 708,195 square
miles, and has a population of 2,2f7,
935, or 3.2 per square mile, being the
most sparsely populated of nny of the
American republics.
The vast plateau, which Includes over
40,(100 miles, at an averaRe altitude
of 12,000 feet above soa level, and on
which are situated most of the larger
cities of the republic. Is the r..ost noted
topographical feature of the country.
The mountains ubound In mineral
wealth. Tin, silver, copper and bis
ninth, with rubber, are the principal
exports. Coffee, cacao, tobacco, sugar
cane and other products of the trop
ical as well as many of the temperate
zone are successfully cultivated; coca,
from which cocaine Is derived, is
raised and exported In large quanti
ties, and the forests contain numerous
species of valuable woods. Including
rubber and cinchona trees, the bark
of the latter being used for the manu
facture of quinine.
Under the constitution which was
promulgated on October 17, 1880, the
republic haB a democratic representa
tive form of government. Government
al powers are delegated to three dis
tinct and co-ordinate branches legls
latlve, executive and Judicial.
The legislature consists of two
houses, the senate and chamber of
deputies, the former consisting of 1C
and the latter of 75 members, both
houses being elected by popular vote,
the former for six and the latter for
four years. Every male citizen over
twenty-one years of age, whose name
appears on the electoral register, who
can read and write, and who has a
fixed Independent Income, has the right
to vote. The senate Is renewed by
thirds every two years and one half
of the chamber of eputles Is renewed
every four years. Congress meets un
nually at La Pax. the rctual capital,
on August C. the tesilon lasting for
a period of 60 days, which piay be ex
tended for 30 days. It may also be
convened In extraordinary session by
tt)3 president of the republic
The president and two vlrepresl
dents are elected for a term of four
years and may not be re-elected for
tie term Immediately following The
annual salary of the president is 18,000
bolivianos ($7,200).
Tbe republic Ib divided Into eight
departments, which are again divided
Into provinces, the latter Into cantons
or dlBtrlcts, and these again Into mu
nicipalities. Congress at the close of
1910 authorized the creation of an
additional department to be known as
the "Departamento de los Chlqultes.

Certain economic factors operate
against the highest exploitation of tin
in Kolivia. namely, the necessarily
heavy freight charges, t lie dependence
on the price of Straits tin, the export
luty and the fluctuation of the Itollvlan
money In times these handicaps will
be overcome and the proceeds of the
tin mines of Hulivia proportionately In
creased. The 1910 production reached
S.'SO long tons, valued at ::0. 000.000 boli

dollars.
Next to tin the most Important
product of I'.olivia is rubber, the an
nual export value of which Is estimated
at $4,000,000. The exploitation of the
rubber lands Is regulated by law
through an annual export tax.
Cacao and coffee are cultivated In
the departments of I.a Paz and Cocha
