A description of this railway, trading and manufacturing city is given by the National Geo- graphic society. Vilna is a city of 170,000, an Indus- rial and trade center, situated in the midst of a region of tangled forests, almost impassable marshes and low- lying lakes, at the intersection of the railways from Warsaw to Petrograd and from Libau. the Baltic port, to Itostof, at the mouth of the Don. It lies nearly mid -way between the cities of Grodno and Dvinsk, two other points upon the Warsaw -Petrograd railway. Petrograd lies 436 miles away to the north-northwest of Vilna, and the country in between is a laby- rinth of lake, morass, woodland and wet meadowiand. It is more than 110 miles from the German frontier, to- ward which it is guarded by the for- tress of Kovno In the northwest. Ancient and Properous. ,The city is an ancient one, of which fact its appearance bears every testi- mony, for its irregular ground -plan straggles among, around and over the knot of low hills upon which the city is built In accordance with the tradi- tional aimlessness of the middle ages. Its streets are narrow and not espe- cially well -kept. It wears, however, a general air of comfortable prosperity: for Vilna sends large quantities of goods to the Black sea and to the Bal- tic. It handles a very extensive busi- ness in grains and timber, articles which it exported before the present war in great quantities to Germany, to Holland and to England. It also has important textile and leather indus- tries. Vilna manufactures consider- able tobacco, knit goods, clothing, ar- tificial flowers and gloves. The old town is rich in memories. A mass of ruins that were once a bril- liant castle of the Jagellons is here. Vilna was probably founded in the Kovno has shared in the expansion caused by the demands of the present generation of Russians for a home in- dustry of sufficient development to hasten the supply of the young nation with the material element of modern civilization. It has developed several important metal industries, and has large factories producing nails, wire, barbed wire and machines. It has also developed a large commission busi- ness, and was an important entre pot for timber, cereals, flax, flour, spirits, fish, coal and building stone, products of trade between western Russia and Prussia. It has a population of about 75,000. Kovno was founded in the eleventh century, and, between 13S1 and 1398, It was a possession of the Teutonic Knights. EARTH'S MOST COSTLY GEMS They Are the Superb Black Opals, Which Are Found Only In One Desolate Spot. American women were greatly ex- cited over the magnificent show of black opals which the Australian gov- ernment sent to the Panama exposi- tion. These exquisite gems, which were practically unknown up till compara- tively recently, cost more, carat for carat, than do diamonds even, while experts declare that they are superbly beautiful. And in this connection it may be pointed out that the term \black opal\ is distinctly misleading. It was coined to distinguish it from the familiar \light opal.\ As a matter of fact the black opal is alive with myriad shades of flaming splendor, from brightest tints of green glowing fire to meteoric gold or lavender, that In an instant quivers to crimson, or slips into mol- ten ruby or sapphire. as the angle of light alters. Black opals are so dear. not only be- cause they are so beautiful, but be - RIVER FRONT OF VILNA early part of the tenth century, but is first mentioned as the chief fortified town of the Lithuanians in 1128. It was the nucleus about which the great Lithuanian power grew, and a capital in which the ancient religious service was continued until the end of the fourteenth century. The god Perkunas was houad here in a splendid temple and protected his people in their swamp and woodland until the temple was destroyed ruthlessly in 1387 by Prince Jagiello after his conversion and baptism. Wars, plague and destructive fires have played havoc with the city's prosperity and growth. It was nearly ruined altogether In the seventeenth century, during the struggle between Russia and Poland. Russia finally took possession of the city In 1795, after Poland's partition. The Poles of Vilna aided the uprisings against their Russian overlords in 1831 and in 1863, and bitter punishment was ad- ministered for this by the czar's gov eminent. The native Russian element in the city is small.

Kovno, the key to the railway sys- tem of northwestern Russia. is the central fortress in the Russian north- western chain of frontier strongholds. It stands at the confluence of the Nie- men and the Viliya rivers, east of central East Prussia. Petrograd lies 550 miles by railroad to the northwest. while behind Kovno, and between this fortress and Petrograd, the Russian plain is strewn as thickly with lakes as fallow meadow lands are with July and August daisies. Mitau, Kovno, Grodno and Lemberg lie nearly in the same line, north and south. The railway from Eydtkuhnen, East Prussia, to Vilna runs through Kovno, and at its terminus joins the trunkline SWIM.

The wealth of the world grows very slowly and the amount of real saving is amazingly small. If, for example, the wealth of the United States when George Washington became president was equivalent to a billion dollars (and that perhaps is not a had guess), and this amount could have steadily earned a little over five per cent every year since, this gain, compounded, would exceed the present estimated wealth of this country. This means that all the rest of the saving and the gains from new enterprises and a rap- idly increasing population have only just about balanced the annual waste and loss. True, more than two-thirds of the wealth of nations is still the human machine and not the visible taxable property. But the fact serves to show how slight is the annual gain even in the premier get -rich -quick country of the world—the United States.— Carl Snyder in Collier's Weekly. A Striki,ng Comparison.

(By J. L. STANTON.) It is a mistake for the inexperienced man to undertake the feeding of hogs unless he expects to make a study of it and improve upon the mistakes he is sure to make at first. It is a mistake for the city farmer living in town to trust his hogs to the average man. He is not likely to make a success of it. It is a mistake to try to raise hogs on an exclusive diet. You ask what kind of feed to give them? What kind of feed can be produced on your farm In your locality? Give them plenty of that in variety. These feeds should be given in such relation to each other as to meet the varied needs of the swine system. It is a mistake to forget that the hog is a grazing animal. It is a mistake if the hog Is not fed in a clean place free from dust and mud. It is a mistake to overfeed, and it is a bigger mistake to underfeed. INCUBATORS MAKE FINE SEED TESTERS Among Advantages Is That Ideal Conditions Can Be Main- tained in Winter. The ordinary incubator used in the hatching of chickens has been found to be the very best kind of an instru- ment for use in testing seed for germ- ination. The Minnesota state seed laboratory, under W. L. Oswald, ex- hibited an incubator at work as a seed tester at the Minnesota state fair this year, and it attracted much at- tention. The advantages of the incubator as a seed tester are numerous. The most important of all is the fact that with an incubator almost ideal conditions can be maintained at any time in the winter. With a small incubator, there fore, a farmer may, in the winter months, test practically all of his seed and know just what he is going to put into the ground in the spring. If he has more than a sufficient supply of seed for himself he is able to put upon the neighborhood market seed of known value. It has been suggested that in com- munities where there are no incuba- tors, farmers' clubs might unite in the purchase of an incubator to be used largely for seed testing. If more definite information is de sired, in any case, a letter addressed to W. L. Oswald, University Farm, St. Paul will receive prompt attention. CURING SEED CORN WITH PROPER CARE On Account of Large Amount of Moisture It Should Be Stored in Dry, Warm Place. Exteaordinary care will be needed in curing seed corn this fall. Most of the seed corn picked will contain much moisture. The more moisture the more serious will be the danger from freezing. Consequently seed corn should be stored in a dry and suffielently warm place as soon as it is p'cked. Moreover, it should be hung up or placed on racks in such a way that the air may circulate freely about every ear. If these simple directions are fol- lowed, the corn will dry out rapidly, the effects of the cold winter weather will be reduced to a minimum, and the corn will give the largest possible germination in the spring. Of course, the seed should be tested carefully be- fore being planted in the spring. POULTRY BUSINESS LEADING INDUSTRY Value of Product Brought Into Boston Market Was $12,- 216,556.20 for Year. That the poultry business has now become a leading industry In our coun- try is proven by the fact that in one year the value of eggs and poultry brought into Boston was $12.216.556.20, and multiplying these figures by three, so as to incluffe New York, Chicago and Philadelphia, and only with the same figures for each, though all are larger, and we have the startling finan- cial sum of $36,649.668.60; that the 200 -egg hen has come at last, with more to follow, is our encouragement for us to keep close to the line of progresu • It hs a mistake to feed constipating food and do nothing to correct it. It is a mistake to feed breeding stock as if you were fitting It for mar- ket. It is a mistake to feed all sizes to- gether whenever the smaller ones are at a disadvantage. It is a mistake not to provide the herd with comfortable quarters at all times. Failure in this will impair the usefulness of the feed. It is a mistake not to grow the pigs rapidly from birth to market. They should gain every pound possible on the way. It is a mistake to feed the brood. sow corn before farrowing time. She should have cooling and laxative food. It is a mistake to feed her heavily for some days after farrowing. It is a mistake to feed the pigs sour milk when they are learning to eat. It is a mistake to fall to feed pigs bone and muscle material during their growth. WET MASH FAVORED AS BEST FOR DUCKS Mixture Recommended to Enceur- age Mature Fowls to Lay and Fatten Young Ones. A mash that will fatten young ducks and make mature ducks lay may be fed throughout the year. It Is made as follows: Cornmeal 50 pounds Wheat shorts 50 pounds Cottonaced meal 15 pounds Ground lime rock (fertilizer lime, not caustic) 2% pounds Sharp gravel or sand 2 pounds Fine table salt % pound Total 120 pounds On the large duck farms they add about 10 per cent cut green or steamed alfalfa or clover hay, grass, rape, cooked small potatoes, turnips or similar vegetables. The green stuff is not necessary when ducks are on a green range, but it is beneficial even then, in that it adds bulk, variety and greater palatability. Mix the mash with water or sour skim milk or buttermilk 'to a crumbly moist condition and feed twice daily what the ducks will eat in twenty minutes. Give a light feed of whole corn at noon. Place water in a wooden trough or galvanized iron vessel with a larger bottom than top. Have the water deep enough to reach above the nostrils and give the ducks an opportunity to clean out their nostrils in the water. INTERESTING TEST OF SWINE DISEASES Nebraska College Finds That In- fectious Pneumonia Is Chol- era Settled on Lungs. Many swine growers are in a state of mental confusion as to whether \swine plague\ or \Infectious pneu- monia\ is the same thing as hog cholera, or a different disease. . Work done on the college farm in Nebraska is interesting on this point, since it proves that swine plague or Infectious pneumonia is nothing more nor less than hog cholera settled on the lungs. This was shown by the injecting of blood from hogs suffering from swine plague into well hogs. They took plain hog cholera from the swine -plague pa- tients. But when the swine -plague blood was injected into hogs which had been vaccinated for hog cholera, no disease was communicated. Hog cholera of the lungs is swine plague, or infectious pneumonia. Vac- cination for the one will protect for the other. \Whenever a disease that is conta- gious appears among hogs, spreading more or less rapidly, is quite uniform- ly fatal, and is accompanied by a high temperature, Ills quite safe to assume that it is hog cholera.\ Fertile and infertile Eggs. Fertile eggs spoil quickly in sum- mer weather. Infertile eggs keep best and market best in summer heat. Fertile eggs are produced if the roosters are allowed to run with the hens. Infertile eggs are produced if the rooeters are kept from the hens. Gauss of Indigestion. Brush off the froth, or better, wait until it disappears. when feeding calves separator milk.
