The purchasers have c;:t I yet given out definitely just what use < will be made of the plant, although ' they favor putting in machinery for making hosiery.

Steamship companies have made estimates as high as r.o.OOO. hut as there are only two and one-half milliou people hi the grand duchy of Finland, these ligures seem to be exaggerated. It is hardly probable that one person in every fifty will emigrate. Nevertheless, it is certain that 1 the policy of the new Czar of Itussia 1 is driving from his country a large i number of his most valuable subjects. ! Until last year, the usual number of Finnish emigrants who landed an- 1 nually in New York was under U.0O0. ' although in the early 'S')s many more 1 came, attracted by prospects of work on railways and in mines. Last year thrt miTvhnr lo:d risen to 6.421). ! The imiutdiate cause of unrest 11 among the Finns is the edict of a year ago, by whic h the Russia army con- < soription was introduced into the ' grand duchy. The Russian navy has been successfully manned by Fin- ] nlsh sailors, aud the Czar lias evidently concluded these sturdy people 1 would make good soldiers. This is a violent depurture from what had been ^ Russia's policy toward the Finns up to ten years ago. The grand duchy j was ceded to Russia by Sweden in 1809. The Czar Alexander I. issued an 1 edict, guaranteeing their constitutional j rights "for all perpetuity." Each Czar , since that time has issued a similar < edict. About ten years ago Alexander l LI began steps for the Russiaulzation i of Finland by abolishing its postal ! system, suspending Its criminal code ! and introducing the Russian language i Into the schools. Nicholas II. did nothing until his conscription proclamation. Within a week 522,931 adult ^ Finns signed r protest, which was ] carried to St. Petersburg by a delega- , tion of 500 men, but the Czar refused , to receive them. , Beside sending Russian officials throughout the grand duchy and abolishing the Finnish .lag and postage stamp, the Czar ha3 now again intertn Vinnicli crhnnls nrobablv the best in Europe. The University at Helalngford has 2,134 students, 2S5 of whom are women. There are fortyfour lyceums in the couutry, and out of a total of 458,000 children of schoo' age, fewer than 10,000, only 4 pet cent., do not receive Instruction. By imperial edict hereafter the Russian language is to be used exclusively, and about half the subjects taught ( hitherto are declared seditious. The 1 Finns, who are good Lutheraus, fear j that in this way the religion of the , Greek Church will be thrust upon ( them. Their national spirit is still , strong, and they deeply resent this blow at their native tongue and Institutions. A Bible is of little value till t is the worse for wear.

(Grazing the rye ' ranges it to stool and the young rye ' [irovides late green food, but while the I rye field may be used for cows in the * fall they should not be turned 011 too 1 1 early in spring.

It has been many times proven that rows will give much more milk in winter and fattening stock will put on llesb much more rapidly if they have warm water than if it is coated with ice or even if of the natural temperature at which it comes from a well or a spring. There are heaters made to put in a trough or tank that raise the temperature at very small expense, und we advise those who have many rattle to water to investigate the matter. Cultivation a Substitute For "Water. T1k? hot, dry spring: of this year has Shown the capacity of plants and their needs in a remarkable way. Last fall I planted some raspberries in. the garIon, all in single rows across it to keep them from rnun'ng into a mat. Most of them were in a part of the large inclosure that had been sown to wheat and seeded, but a few were set in the carefully cultivated part. July 4, wheu the big sbower raised I ha drouth for the time beiug. tlie berry bushes in the wheat, more than half i dozen varieties of red, black and long blackberries, were about ready to Jio. The leaves were curling up and Hie fruit was mostly gone. The rows in the cultivated part were all doing julte well, and would have stood the Irouth some time yet. The plants had Lieen mostly too small to bear, so that noi much observation could be made ts to fruit.

The range of the honey bee is but , little understood by the average per- ( son, many supposing that bees go j miles for the nectar of which honey j is made. In fact, they go only a short ( distance. If bloom is plentiful near , to where the bees are located, they . will not go very far, perhaps a mile. . but If bloom Is scarce they may go , live miles. Usually about half that distance is as far as they may go , prolitably. There arc c.isor where bees have , been known to cro eiclit miles in a straight line, crossing a body of water that distance to land. If while the bee was out the hive should be moved i only ten or twenty feet, it would be I hopelessly lost. This is a reason why i hives should not be moved in summer, i When hives must be moved in summer the work should be done at night time ; i when the bees are all at home, or on a < wet day when they are not Hying. A I hoard or oilier object should he placed < in front of the hive to mark ils new ] location. There is no doubt hut that ' bets are guidtil Ly sight, und nlsj byi< r smell. They .ire attracted by tne coin )f the bloom and if they are at wot! in a certain kind of bloom llioy are no likely to leave it for another as Ion: is they can find that particular kind.
