'educational limitations" bo which Jews MUCH FOUGHT FOR CITY. are subject will be removed; Jews will be permitted to "engage in any trade or profession." It must be noted, however, that the third promise can hardly be .realized unless the second is made more ample, So long as Jews are barred from any of the educational opportunities which Russia may afford it is evident that some professions will still be closed to them and that the "career for tal- ents" will still have its artificial bar- riers. Jewish communities in other lands and all persons attached to human freedom will necessarily take a some- what expectant attitude toward these latest Russian promises, remember- ing that while the duma may propose other powers finally dispose and also the painful discrepancies that have so often appeared between Russian laws and their administrative application. The case is one in which promise must be received with a certain skep- ticism until verified by performance. However, it is certainly evidenced that things after the present war will be considerably different in Russia. The rulers of Russia are apparently re- alizing that the case of the Czar's Jewish subjects demands attention and that certain characteristics are the product of the oppression to which the Jews have been subject. Those ingenuous souls among the pacifists who have been assuring a war -weary world that if the rulers who started the war really kenw what I actual war meant they would nob pro- i voke it or keep ib up are arguing without their host. Never in all his- tory have those at the head of things known what the actual horrors are more minutely than is the case just now. There is not a king or an em- peror or a president or a'prenmier who has not been in the trenches and at the front in all seasons and on all oc- casions. The recent visit of King George to France merely repeats a previous trip to the front, while the Kaiser's actual participation in the campaigns in the east and in the west has been one of the striking features of the war; and the King of Italy has fought side by side with his subjects. For pathos the sufferings and flight of Nicholas of Montenegro and of Peter of Serbia are unequaled, and as much might be said of the quiet endurance and hopefulness of • Albert of Bel- gium.. No; whether for weal or woe the kings know what war means, and the knowledge has not lessened their determination of fight it out till a dur- able peace is in sight. FIND LOST BABY PRINCE. Princess Lost Boy in Flight From Russian Soldiers. Prince Vladzis Gedroic, two years old, son of Prince Cyril Gedroic, an Austrian nobleman, is reported to have been lost and to have been found again in most romantic circum- stances, says the London Globe. Prince Cyril Gedroic is an officer in the Austrian army and joined his regiment in August, 1914, leaving his wife and baby at his castle near Brody. During the first great Aus- trian retreat the princess fled, and in the general confusion her baby was left behind and lost. A Russian officer, who found the infant in a ditch, sent it to Russia to be cared for. No one knew the infant was a prince and heir to huge estates, but Baroness Natalie Ostroff adopted it and took it to her home at Tiflis. Recently the story of the foundling was published in a -Russian paper, with a picture of the child. A Rus- sian prisoner, taken by Prince Ged- roic's regiment, happened to have a copy of this particular issue in his pocket, and by chance Prince Gedroic examined this prisoner after his cap- ture. Glancing casually at the paper, the prince recognized his lost child. Diplomatic representations ensued, and the little prince is on his way to Austria. The Ruling Passion.

Trieste, the principal seaport of Austria, which figures so prominent- ly in rominent-ly.in the.. news of the day, goes back for the beginning of its history into ancient days, It is first mentioned about 100 B.C. as a village, a place of no importance.' - Some fifty years later, it is recorded that the place was attacked by barbarian tribes from the interior, and about twenty years later still, Trieste makes its definite emergence into history during the Dalmatian wars wage. by Augustus. The Romans, with that sure judg- ment which characterized their em- pire building, recognized the import- ance of the site upon which Trieste now stands. Augustus consequently decided to found a Roman colony there. The little village quickly be- came a town, and, as a defense against the wild Celtic and Illyrian tribes of the surrounding country, who always gave the Romans so much trou- ble, the new ciby was surrounded by a wall and fortified with towers. It was given the name of Tergeste, quickly became a flourishing Roman colony and had a large territory at- tached to it. In those days, just as to -day, the importance of Trieste lay mainly in its commerce, as the natural outlet for Pannonia and Dalmatia, and in those days, just as to -day, it was a beautiful city. On the fall of the empire in the west, the history of Trieste merges in- to the history of Istria. It passed through troublous times. It was pil- laged by the Longobardi and the Goths; was annexed to the Frankish kingdom by Pepin in '789; fell into the hands of the dukes of Carinthia about the middle of the tenth century, and from thence it passed successively through the hands of the dukes of Meran, the dukes of Bavaria into the possession of the republic of Venice. For the next 180 years, the history of Trieste is chiefly a record of conflicts with the great city to the south, and in the end Trieste placed herself under the protection of Leopold III., of Aus- tria. Leopold was only too willing to undertake the trust, and so from protection, Austria advanced to over - lordship and from overlordship to ac- tual possession. Twice during the Napoleonic period, namely, from 1797 to 1805, and from 1809 to 1813, Trieste was in the possession of France, In this later year, however, Austria seiz- ed the city and the surrounding dis- trict of Istria, and it has remained an Austrian possession ever since. LITTLE TRAVEL IN BRITAIN. Pleasures Thought Necessary Are Now Sacrificed. One by one the great war has whit- tled down a whole list of comforts, services, pleasures and so-called ne- cessities of life that the twentieth century thought indispensable. But no grumbling is heard from the peo- ple who have adjusted themselves to the changed conditions. Two years ago the English people were all travellers. The magic carpet lay waiting outside the door of the humblest citizen with a ten -pound note. "A Week in Lovely Lucerne for Five Pounds" was within the ambi- tion of the poorest worker.

There is not a disturbed condi- tion of life that may not affect diges- tion. But few causes of the' trouble are so common as thin, weak '• blood. It affects directly and at once the pro- cess of nutrition. Not only is the action of the gastric and intestinal glands diminished but the muscular action of the stomach is weakened. Nothing will more promptly restore digestive efficiency than good, red blood. Without it the normal .activity of the stomach is impossible, - Thin, pale people who complain of indigestion must improve 'the* cor'idi- tion of their blood to find relief.

There are often times when, owing to a wet season or are early frost, farmers experience difficulty in sav- ing `the last cutting of alfalfa. At such times a method for converting alfalfa intosilage may bring about a saving of the entire last crop. During the fermentation process which takes place immediately after the silo is filled, the sugar in the green crop is converted by pacterial pro- cesses into a mixture of acids. The most important acids formed in silage are lactic acid, the same acid which develops in the souring of milk, and acetic acid, the same acid which gives to vinegar its sour tate. Several other acids are also formed in lesser amounts, but they are of little impor- tance in normal silage. These acids serve to preserve the silage mixture from further decomposibion. The silage fermentation is similar to -the fermentation. which takes place when cabbage is converted into sauerkraut, • The alfalfa plant is deficient in fermentable sugars. For this reason, alfalfa alone does not make silage which will "keep." Acid is not pro- duced in sufficient quantities bo pre- serve the silage. Because of this de- ficiency of acid, putrefactive processes I set up, and the silage acquires a dis- gusting taste and an odor somewhat resembling the odor of decaying meat. In September, 1914, the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station con- structed six small'silos having a cap-. i see ty of about 1 ton each. These Were filled, -1 with corn, 1 with Black Amber cane, 1 with alfalfa, and 8 with alfalfa -cane mixtures in the propor- tion of .1 ropor-tion'of•1 part alfalfa to 2 parts cane, equal parts of cane and alfalfa, and 2 parts alfalfa. bo • 1 part cane, re- spectively. The sorghum cane con- tains a higher percentage of ferment - dale' sugars and makes up the diflci- ency of the alfalfa in this respect. These silos were opened in August, -1915,•after having been filled for near- ly -a year.' The silage in all except theeone containing only alfalfa was found to be in perfect condition. The silage• made from 1 part cane and 2 parts -alfalfa was just as good as that containing larger proportions of cane. Alfalfa 2 parts, mixed with cane I part, makes a highly desirable silage Silaing alfalfa with cane in the man- nei here` described is recommended as VALUE OF PERFUMES: Have Often Proven to be Useful as Disinfectants. Persia saw the earliest develop- ment of the perfume industry. The priests of Egypt, who were the sole depositaries of science, knew the se- cret of aromatic substances and pre- served them. Egyptian perfumes ac- quired great celebrity, especially those made in Alexandria. The Israelites, during their sojourn in Egypt, adopt- ed the use of aromatic substances. The Jews were fond of cosmetics, and even used them to paint the face. All these perfumes were extracted from essences of trees and various plants. The Greeks, who loved elegance, were especially addicted to the use of per- fumes, and they taught their secrets and usage to the Romans. The lat- ter, in the days of their decadence, went so far as to scent the coats of their dogs. In the Middle Ages the Arabs, Vene- tians, Genoese, and Florentines be came famous for the preparation of sweet-smelling essences. France did not become acquainted with perfumes until after the Crusades, and it was Maria de Medici who especially brought them into favor. Makers of perfumes quickly recognized their good or bad medicinal influences, It was remarked both in Paris and Lon- don, during the cholera epidemic of the nineteenth century, that no one engaged in making perfumes was ever attacked.

Wheth- er or not it will be profitable bo silo alfalfa is a question which can only be answered by the farmer himself under the individual conditions. What Is Practical. One of the most useful things we as dairy farmers can learn is a bet- ter understanding of what is really practical. About every man limits the meaning of this much abused word to the narrow dimensions of his own experience, What he lowly:, to be practical is practised, that is the end of it. The Babcock test was not "practical" said nine out of ten far niers in 1886; now, everyone believes in its practicability. Thr: silo, tike pure-bred bull, the growing of alfalfa, the King system of ventilation, and a host of other well accepted improve- ments in dairy practice have had to run this gauntlet of "practical" in the mind of the average farmer. Seager Wheeler, a Canadian Sas- katchewan wheat farmer, has had an experience in this line that is well set forth in the following brief paragraph which we take from an article in the Country Gentleman: "When Wheeler first began growing wheat from seed selected and bred by hand he was looked upon as a faddist. Many were not quite so charitable as that in applying names to him and his work. But since he won the $1,000 first prize at the New York Land Show in 1911 for the best wheat raised on the American Continent, and an- other international sweepstakes prize at the 1914 show in Kansas, and in- ternational prizes at various other ex- hibitions in the United States and Canada, they have stopped calling him a faddist. When he began to grow wheat at the rate fo forty-five to eighty bushels an acre on small plots and thirty to thirty-five bushels on his large fields, even in unfavorable sea- sons, and to sell his grain as seed for er' profit and greater efficiency in the business of dairy farming has been fought out and won against the nar- row judgments of farmers whose only cry was "not practical." This proves beyond controversy that the only im- practical man in the business is the one who .is foolish enough to measure the question solely by what he knows and that alone.—Hoard's Dairyman. --- How Saps 1)o Their Washing.
