Common borer- Aegopodium podagraria L. - perennial herbaceous plant from the umbrella family (Apiaceae, or Umbelliferae) with a long creeping rhizome. The stem is erect, 0.5 to 1 m high, slightly branched in the upper part, hollow, sometimes grooved.
The lower leaves are very large, bare above, pubescent below. Their plate is broadly triangular in general outline, 10-20 cm long and the same width, double-triple, that is, each of its 3 primary segments consists of 3 leaflets. The leaves are oblong-ovate, 4 to 12 cm long and 1.5 to 7 cm wide, pointed, serrate along the edge, with short petioles. The lower leaves are equipped with long petioles - 20-40 cm.
The stem leaves are alternate, smaller, once trifoliate, that is, they consist of 3 leaflets of approximately the same shape as those on the lower leaves. The petioles of the stem leaves are short, widened into the sheath at the bottom.
The inflorescence of the dream is a complex multi-flowered umbrella with a diameter of 7-9 cm, without involucres or involucres. The inflorescence ends with the main stem and lateral branches. The flower is white. The calyx teeth are almost invisible. Corolla of 5 white petals with a deep notch at the top. There are 5 stamens. A pistil with a lower 2-locular ovary and 2 long styles. The gooseberry blooms in May - June. Flowers are pollinated by insects, including honey bees. The fruits ripen in July - August. The fruit is an oblong, laterally compressed two-seed, 3-4 mm long, dark brown in color.
Spread of the dream
Gooseberry is a plant of the temperate zone of Eurasia. Distributed in many areas European Russia, as well as in Siberia up to the Yenisei. Grows in the forests different types, especially broad-leaved ones, on the edges, clearings, clearings, among bushes, along roads. It often grows in gardens, parks, and young fallow lands.
Drowning is a fairly moisture- and light-loving plant. It can grow in the forest shade, but almost never blooms. Only when the forest is lightened does it begin to flower and bear fruit.
Economic use of dream
Dryweed is a food and melliferous plant. Its young leaves, containing vitamin C, are eaten in salads and okroshka, and used to make soups. Caviar is made from the leaves of the nymph by passing it through a meat grinder. For long-term storage the leaves are fermented and the leaf petioles are pickled. Powder from dry leaves of snot is used as an additive to sauces and seasonings.
The leaves of the tree have a pleasant smell. In some areas they were previously used as a kind of vegetable flavoring. To do this, they were used to transfer vegetables that perceived the aroma of the dream.
Medicinal value of dream and methods of medicinal use
It is not used in scientific medicine, but it is quite popular among the people. For medicinal purposes, different parts of the plant are taken.
In folk medicine and homeopathy, it is used for gout and rheumatism. Infusion of rhizomes for compresses for myositis.
The juice of the herb and fresh crushed leaves are used externally for rubbing in for rheumatism, for pain-relieving compresses for gout, various inflammatory processes, as a wound healing agent, and also as a pain reliever for erysipelas and exudative diathesis. Sapweed juice is squeezed from the above-ground parts of young plants. Prescribed for gastrointestinal diseases, kidney diseases and Bladder, respiratory tract, as a detoxifying agent, for dizziness, as a diuretic and emollient. Take 1/3-1/4 cup with 1 tablespoon of honey.
An excellent vitamin drink is prepared from the dream, which can support a weakened body. In villages even now it is prepared in the spring, as soon as it emerges from the ground. Infuse 3 teaspoons of herbs in 2 glasses for 2 hours boiled water, strain. Take 1/2 cup 4 times a day before meals.
The moth is edible. The leaves of the sorrel, along with sorrel and cabbage, are used to prepare salads, cabbage soup, and sauces. For salads, young, not fully expanded leaves with petioles are collected before flowering. Remove the skin from the stems before cooking. The leaves and stems of the cabbage are fermented and used in winter instead of cabbage to make cabbage soup. Cabbage soup with cabbage soup is not inferior in taste to cabbage soup.

Experienced gardeners always have crystalline iron sulfate, or ferrous sulfate, in their garden medicine cabinet. Like many others chemicals, it has properties that protect garden and berry crops from numerous diseases and insect pests. In this article we will talk about the features of using iron sulfate to treat garden plants against diseases and pests and about other options for its use on the site.
Retaining walls are the main tool for working with complex terrain on a site. With their help, they not only create terraces or play with planes and alignment, but also emphasize the beauty of the rock garden landscape, the change in height, the style of the garden, and its character. Retaining walls allow play with raised and lowered areas and hidden areas. Modern dry or more solid walls help turn the disadvantages of the garden into its main advantages.
There were times when the concepts of “garden tree”, “family tree”, “collection tree”, “multi tree” simply did not exist. And it was possible to see such a miracle only on the farm of the “Michurintsy” - people who were amazed by their neighbors, looking at their gardens. There, not just varieties ripened on one apple, pear or plum tree different terms ripening, but also in a variety of colors and sizes. Not many people despaired of such experiments, but only those who were not afraid of numerous trials and errors.
The front garden is the face of the garden and its owner. Therefore, for these flower beds it is customary to choose plants that are decorative throughout the season. And, in my opinion, front garden perennials that bloom in spring deserve special attention. Like primroses, they bring us special joy, because after a dull winter, more than ever, we want bright colors and flowers. In this article we suggest getting acquainted with the best decorative perennials, blooming in spring and do not require special care.
The climatic conditions of our country, unfortunately, are not suitable for growing many crops without seedlings. Healthy and strong seedlings are the key to a high-quality harvest, in turn, the quality of seedlings depends on several factors: Even healthy-looking seeds can be infected with pathogens that remain on the surface of the seed for a long time, and after sowing, when exposed to favorable conditions, they are activated and infect young and fragile plants
Our family loves tomatoes very much, so most of the garden beds are devoted to this particular crop. Every year we try to try new ones interesting varieties, and some of them take root and become loved. At the same time, over many years of gardening, we have already developed a set of favorite varieties that are required to be planted every season. We jokingly call such tomatoes “special purpose” varieties - for fresh salads, juice, pickling and storage.
Coconut pie with cream - “kuchen”, or German coconut pie (Butter milch shnitten - soaked in milk). Without exaggeration I will say that this is incredible tasty pie- sweet, juicy and tender. It can be stored in the refrigerator for quite a long time; cakes with cream are prepared on the basis of this sponge cake in Germany. The recipe is from the “Guests on the doorstep!” category, since usually all the ingredients are in the refrigerator, and it takes less than an hour to prepare the dough and bake.
The snow has not yet completely melted, and the restless owners suburban areas They are already in a hurry to evaluate the scope of work in the garden. And there really is something to do here. And perhaps the most important thing to think about is in early spring– how to protect your garden from diseases and pests. Experienced gardeners they know that these processes cannot be left to chance, and delays and delays in processing can significantly reduce the yield and quality of the fruit.
If you cook yourself soil mixtures for growing indoor plants, then it’s worth taking a closer look at the relatively new, interesting and, in my opinion, necessary component - coconut substrate. Everyone has probably seen at least once in their life a coconut and its “shaggy” shell covered with long fibers. Many delicious products are made from coconuts (actually a drupe), but the shells and fibers used to be just industrial waste.
Fish and cheese pie is a simple lunch or dinner idea for your daily or Sunday menu. The pie is designed for small family of 4-5 people with a moderate appetite. This pastry has everything at once - fish, potatoes, cheese, and a crispy dough crust, in general, almost like a closed pizza calzone, only tastier and simpler. Canned fish can be anything - mackerel, saury, pink salmon or sardines, choose according to your taste. This pie is also prepared with boiled fish.
Fig, fig, fig tree - these are all names of the same plant, which we firmly associate with Mediterranean life. Anyone who has ever tasted fig fruits knows how delicious they are. But, in addition to their delicate sweet taste, they are also very beneficial for health. And this is what interesting detail: it turns out that figs are perfect unpretentious plant. In addition, it can be successfully grown on a plot in middle lane or in the house - in a container.
This delicious creamy seafood soup takes just under an hour to prepare and turns out tender and creamy. Choose seafood according to your taste and budget, it can be Seafood Cocktail, and king prawns, and squid. I made soup with large shrimp and mussels in their shells. Firstly, it is very tasty, and secondly, it is beautiful. If you are preparing it for a holiday dinner or lunch, then mussels in their shells and large unpeeled shrimp look appetizing and pretty on the plate.
Quite often, difficulties in growing tomato seedlings arise even among experienced summer residents. For some, all the seedlings turn out to be elongated and weak, for others, they suddenly begin to fall and die. The thing is that it is difficult to maintain in an apartment ideal conditions for growing seedlings. Seedlings of any plants need to be provided with plenty of light, sufficient humidity and optimal temperature. What else do you need to know and observe when growing tomato seedlings in an apartment?
Tomato varieties of the “Altai” series are very popular among gardeners due to their sweet, delicate taste, more reminiscent of the taste of a fruit than a vegetable. These are large tomatoes, the weight of each fruit is on average 300 grams. But this is not the limit, there are larger tomatoes. The pulp of these tomatoes is characterized by juiciness and fleshiness with a slight pleasant oiliness. You can grow excellent tomatoes from the “Altai” series from “Agrosuccess” seeds.
The grass is widespread in all regions of the country. It catches your eye every day, but often remains unidentified. We invite you to learn about what the grass looks like in order to be able to use this amazing medicinal plant in cooking and folk medicine. Many older people know about the benefits of sleeping, today there is an opportunity for readers to gain this knowledge of this material. The article describes in detail where the pine tree grows and what it looks like: Thanks to the typical characteristics presented, it will now be possible to recognize the plant without much difficulty. But it is worth remembering that it is not enough to know where the grass grows; you also need to understand at what stage of maturity the plant is collected. Tips of this kind are also given on this page. Methods of use in food and as a medicinal plant are also given.
Dream leaves and their photos
This plant is familiar to everyone, but most simply do not know its name. By the way, in his dictionary, Dahl emphasizes that the plant is called “snit” (not “snit”), and gives the following explanation: “Just as the German botanists who worked for us wrote down the Russian names of plants by ear, so we accepted them, distorted, in all textbooks."
The Latin generic name for dream (Aegopodium podagraria) comes from the shape of the leaves of the dream, similar to the imprint of a goose's paw, and the specific name indicates medicinal use whining with gout.
Look at the leaves of the dream in the photo, where you can see their typical features and distinctive features:
Description of the grass
Common grass - Aegopodium podagraria L. - a perennial herbaceous plant from the Umbelliferae family with a long creeping rhizome.
You can start describing the herb with the fact that its stem is bare, grooved, hollow inside, weakly branched, tall flowering plant 50-100 cm. The lower leaves are on long petioles, twice trifoliate, their lobules are oblong-ovate, twice serrate along the edge, with sharp teeth. Pubescence on the leaves is only on the bottom. The upper leaves are on short petioles, smaller and less dissected.
The apical umbel is larger than the lateral ones, has 20–30 rays, without involucres or involucres at the base of the umbels. The flowers are small, white, with five almost heart-shaped petals. The fruits are oblong, 3–4 mm long. In the forests and others shady places The sapling may not bloom for years, proliferating wildly by rhizomes alone.
The sprouts of this plant are connected by a common rhizome and can easily be considered one plant; its minimum lifespan is about 50 years. This whole mass of plants blooms at the same time, the blooming pine tree seems like a white cloud descending to the ground. Shishkin loved to draw her. Two sketches depicting the dream are kept in the Russian Museum and the Tretyakov Gallery. Moreover, Tretyakov’s is called “Eating Grass”, reminding us that edible grass is edible.
There is a magnificent pencil drawing by Shishkin, in which a blooming warbler is adjacent to thistles. It belongs to the Academy of Arts in St. Petersburg. It is often found in the corners of other Shishkin paintings.
There is also a decorative tree, it has elegant striped leaves - white spots on a green background. Like a regular one, it forms dense thickets, reminiscent of a rug, but only variegated. For complete beauty, it is not allowed to bloom by cutting off all the inflorescences. Sometimes striped bushes can be found in thickets of common pine tree; it was this plant that once became the ancestor of the cultivated variety.
The moth does not have a natural period of rest; its autumn and winter rest are forced, when favorable conditions sapling can overwinter with green leaves, and in places with warm, snowless winters it grows all year round. It blooms in late June - July, bears fruit in August, and seeds germinate in May.
What does the plant look like: description and photo
Not all plants of oak forests are capable of growing in the form of a continuous cover and, moreover, on large area. Many of them grow as single specimens and are never found in masses. The common beetroot plant behaves completely differently: in an old oak forest you can sometimes see extensive dense thickets of this rather large herbaceous plant on the soil. The description of the plant can begin with the fact that its thickets are so dense that they completely cover the soil, leaving absolutely no free space. It is noteworthy that they consist only of the leaves of this plant. What the plant looks like is described in more detail later in the article - this information will help to accurately determine this medicinal herb In the woods.
Snoozing is one of forest plants, which is not limited in its distribution only to the forest. It often grows in open spaces, outside the forest, for example in gardens, orchards, etc. This plant in some places even acts as a weed, and, moreover, an annoying one that is difficult to eradicate. The aggressiveness and survivability of the moth is largely explained by the fact that it reproduces very vigorously vegetatively, using long thin rhizomes. Such rhizomes are capable of quickly growing in different directions and giving rise to numerous above-ground shoots and leaves. That's why the pine tree almost always grows in dense thickets. It quickly captures any free area and holds it for a long time, and, if possible, also expands it. The proposed photo and description of the plant makes it possible to study in detail the culture and methods of its use:
So, before us is an example of a plant that is very aggressive and capable of growing luxuriantly in the most different conditions- both in the dense shade of the forest and completely open place. Not many forest plants have this ability. And among them, probably, there are not at all those who, like the dream, would at the same time be malicious weeds.
The shape of the leaves of the dream is quite characteristic, they are easy to recognize: At the end of the long petiole, a leaf blade, strongly dissected into large segments, located in a horizontal plane, is attached. If you look closely at the leaf, it is not difficult to notice a certain regularity in its structure. The leaf petiole at the top branches into three separate thinner petioles, and each of them, in turn, branches again at the end in exactly the same way. Individual leaf segments are attached to these thin terminal branches - there are nine of them in total. Botanists call a leaf of this structure doubly trifoliate.
It should be noted, however, that the leaves of the dream do not always consist of nine separate leaves. Sometimes some of them, neighboring ones, grow together into one whole. And then the total number of leaves decreases - there are no longer nine of them, but only eight or seven.
Although the gooseberry is one of the typical forest plants and grows luxuriantly in the forest, it almost never blooms under the canopy of trees. The flowering of the plant can only be observed in an open place or in a sparse forest where there is a lot of light. Under these conditions, the honeydew appears to have a tall, rather powerful stem with several leaves, and characteristic inflorescences - complex umbrellas - develop at its top. The inflorescences consist of many very small white flowers and appearance somewhat reminiscent of carrot inflorescences. This similarity is natural, since the mushroom, like carrots, belongs to the Umbelliferae family.
Look at the photo of the plant, all the botanical characteristics are illustrated and the species are presented in different periods vegetative development:
Spreading.
Mowing is a plant of the temperate zone of Eurasia. The common goosefoot is found throughout Europe, throughout the Caucasus, in Western and Eastern Siberia. In Siberia, along with it, there is also the Alpine, smaller, which comes to Far East(except Kamchatka) and Central Asia. Both types are similar in chemical composition and are used in the same way.
It grows in forests of various types, especially broad-leaved ones, on the edges, clearings, clearings, among bushes, along roads.
Usually, if this plant appears on the site, gardeners do not experience joy. This weed is not liked because it quickly occupies the entire area of the vegetable garden or garden, in addition, it is very persistent.
Still, let's take a closer look at this plant. The main quality of this plant is its early appearance; delicate light green leaves appear from the soil already in April.
Benefits of the plant
The benefit of the plant may lie in the fact that this grass is an early and good honey plant.
The grass has a fresh smell, is rich in fiber, pectin and a whole complex of vitamins. That is, this is the earliest vitamin plant of our homeland. It is known that the Reverend Father Seraphim of Sarov ate mainly sap; this weed helps cleanse the body of toxins and is very nutritious. Tomato is one of the few herbs that contain such a rich complex of substances necessary for the human body and at the same time practically harmless to it.
It is believed that chemical composition this weed is close to that of our blood, and therefore a person can feed on it for a considerable time without harm own health. Medicinal raw materials serves aboveground part, that is, grass, roots are also used. The grass is harvested during flowering, preferably in May–June, and dried outdoors without direct access sun rays, and then dried in dryers at a temperature of no more than 30 °C. Store in a closed glass container for a year. The roots are harvested after the plant has flowered, washed with cold running water and dried in the shade under a canopy.
Herb: properties and use in food
A variety is the common "variegated" warbler (Aegopodium Podagraria "Variegata") Cultural form a common weed plant common in the forests of Europe and Asia. The generic scientific name translates as “goat's foot” and was given by Carl Lynaeus for the similarity of the paired lateral leaves of the compound leaf of the goat with the footprint of a goat.
People call it snitki, snitya, dedilnik, lamblitsa, shnit.
A perennial herbaceous plant up to 60 cm high with a long creeping rhizome. The leaves are pistachio-green with a white border (young leaves have a cream border) forming a continuous decorative cover of variegated leaves reaches a height of 25–30 cm. The flowers are small, white, collected in umbellate inflorescences. Blooms in June-July. The seeds ripen in July-August.
It is better to use very young leaves and shoots for food, while they are still yellowish-green and, as it were, “transparent”. IN different conditions they may be at this stage different lengths. Dryweed, growing in shady places, produces greens suitable for food longer; its leaves are much larger and more tender. Before eating raw, the leaves are blanched in boiling water for 1–2 minutes, as their harsh fiber can cause bloating. This can be avoided by adding other herbs that have a carminative effect to the salad.
The use of the herb is due to the fact that it has a pleasant smell, and in the old days, herb dealers would add the herb to vegetables to give them a unique aroma.
Use for food: leaf petioles, as well as young leaves and succulent shoots can replace; They are fermented in barrels, storing them for future use. Its leaves, along with sorrel and cabbage, are used to prepare salads, cabbage soup, and sauces. For salads, young, not fully expanded leaves with petioles are collected before flowering. Remove the skin from the stems before cooking.
The properties of the herb are due to the fact that essential oil is found in the aerial part - up to 0.04%, especially in inflorescences - up to 0.14% (it contains limonene, β-phellandrene); steroids (β-sitosterol); nitrogen-containing compounds (choline), vitamin C – up to 100 mg per 100 g; flavonoids (quercetin, kaempferol), microelements (iron - up to 16.6 mg per 100 g, copper, manganese and others).
Growing and caring for the plant
To grow the plant, the plant is placed in shady and semi-shady places. Grows well in any cultivated garden soil, especially fertile and moist soil.
Caring for the dream is simple: cutting out flower stalks, since they are not very beautiful, removing individuals with green, non-variegated leaves along with the roots. The most important thing is to prevent aggressive invasion of neighboring areas and crowding out other plants. To do this, it is necessary to limit the growth of the plant by annually digging up excess plants or growing them in underground containers made of tin or polyethylene with a perforated bottom. In addition to protecting surrounding plants, such measures also create conditions for the formation of more compact and dense clumps.
It is very easily propagated by cuttings of rhizomes, which can be divided and planted at a depth of 3–5 cm at almost any time from May to September.
The use of dream in folk medicine as a medicinal plant
Due to the large number of seeds, as well as the abundance of buds on the rhizomes (up to 6000 on one plant), the borer multiplies quickly and is very difficult to eradicate, so it is considered to be a malicious weed. It’s a pity, because it’s not her fault, but our misfortune, that we haven’t learned to understand and use whining for our own good.
It is not used in scientific medicine, but it is quite popular among the people. In folk medicine, the use of the dream is as follows: an infusion of the aerial part is used for diseases of the digestive tract, diseases of the kidneys and bladder, respiratory tract, arthritis, as a detoxifying agent. As a medicinal plant, it is taken orally for various joint lesions, especially gout and rheumatism.
Useful properties of the plant
The beneficial properties of the plant are due to the fact that the leaves have anti-inflammatory, emollient, diuretic, and wound-healing effects; fresh leaves have an analgesic effect. Crushed leaves are applied to erysipelas, exudative diathesis, to sore spots with gout and rheumatism. In homeopathy, the aerial part is used for rheumatism and gout. Young leaves, collected before flowering, are eaten for the treatment and prevention of hypo- and avitaminosis (scurvy).
The juice of the herb and fresh crushed leaves are used externally for rubbing in for rheumatism, for pain-relieving compresses for gout, various inflammatory processes, as a wound healing agent, and also as a pain reliever for erysipelas and exudative diathesis.
Dreamweed rhizomes have an antifungal effect. It removes excess salts from the body, which is why it is used for gout and salt deposits.
Procurement of raw materials.
The medicinal raw material is the aerial part, less often the roots. The grass is harvested during flowering. Dry in the open air and then in a dryer at a temperature of 25–30 °C. The roots of the plant are dug up after the end of the flowering period of the plant, washed in cold water and dried in the shade or under a canopy.
The dried aerial parts are stored in a closed glass container, and the roots in a wooden container. The shelf life of raw materials is 1 year.

Botanical description
Practical use
The aerial part of the pine tree contains vitamin C (44-100 mg%), carotene (up to 8 mg%), protein substances (up to 22%), calcium, cobalt. Used as an antiscorbutic agent.
The honey plant is a good honey plant, valued on a par with such highly productive honey plant as fireweed. In those years when fireweed does not produce enough nectar, it is replaced by honey. Bees willingly visit these plants, especially in the first half of the day. The nectar productivity of pine flowers depends on the shade of the forest: with a shade of 0.3, the nectar productivity of 100 flowers per day is 12.8 mg, with a shade of 0.5-0.8 per plant, 134 and 62.9 mg of sugar, respectively.
In folk medicine, it is used for gout and rheumatism.
The moth is important as a fodder plant. Its leaves contain significant amount protein and relatively little fiber. In experiments on rabbits, the common mushroom showed high nutritional value. Because of strong odor it is eaten in small quantities by cattle, sheep, goats, and horses. Sheep eat it best. And in steamed form or in the form of chopped meat, it is eaten by pigs. The duckweed grows back well after cutting, but reacts negatively to grazing. It is suitable for silage.

An excerpt characterizing the Common Snot
The fifth were adherents of Barclay de Tolly, not so much as a person, but as a minister of war and commander in chief. They said: “Whatever he is (they always started like that), but he is an honest, efficient person, and there is no better person. Give him real power, because war cannot go on successfully without unity of command, and he will show what he can do, as he showed himself in Finland. If our army is organized and strong and retreated to Drissa without suffering any defeats, then we owe this only to Barclay. If they now replace Barclay with Bennigsen, then everything will perish, because Bennigsen has already shown his inability in 1807,” said the people of this party.The sixth, the Bennigsenists, said, on the contrary, that after all there was no one more efficient and experienced than Bennigsen, and no matter how you turn around, you will still come to him. And the people of this party argued that our entire retreat to Drissa was a most shameful defeat and a continuous series of mistakes. “The more mistakes they make,” they said, “the better: at least they will sooner understand that this cannot go on. And what is needed is not just any Barclay, but a person like Bennigsen, who already showed himself in 1807, to whom Napoleon himself gave justice, and such a person for whom power would be willingly recognized - and there is only one Bennigsen.”
Seventh - there were faces that always exist, especially under young sovereigns, and of which there were especially many under Emperor Alexander - the faces of generals and a wing of adjutants, passionately devoted to the sovereign, not as an emperor, but as a person, adoring him sincerely and disinterestedly, as he adored him Rostov in 1805, and seeing in him not only all the virtues, but also all human qualities. Although these persons admired the modesty of the sovereign, who refused to command the troops, they condemned this excessive modesty and wanted only one thing and insisted that the adored sovereign, leaving excessive distrust in himself, openly announce that he was becoming the head of the army, would make a himself the headquarters of the commander-in-chief and, consulting where necessary with experienced theorists and practitioners, he himself would lead his troops, which this alone would bring to the highest state of inspiration.
Eighth, most large group people, which in its enormous number related to others as 99 to 1, consisted of people who did not want peace, nor war, nor offensive movements, nor a defensive camp, either at Drissa or anywhere else, or Barclay, neither the sovereign, nor Pfuel, nor Bennigsen, but wanting only one thing, and the most essential: the greatest benefits and pleasures for themselves. In that muddy water of the intersecting and entangled intrigues that swarmed at the main apartment of the sovereign, in many ways it was possible to manage in such a way that would have been unthinkable at another time. One, not wanting to lose his advantageous position, today agreed with Pfuel, tomorrow with his opponent, the day after tomorrow he claimed that he had no opinion on a certain subject, only in order to avoid responsibility and please the sovereign. Another, wanting to gain benefits, attracted the attention of the sovereign, loudly shouting the very thing that the sovereign had hinted at the day before, argued and shouted in the council, striking himself in the chest and challenging those who disagreed to a duel, thereby showing that he was ready to be a victim of the common good. The third simply begged for himself, between two councils and in the absence of enemies, a one-time allowance for his faithful service, knowing that now there would be no time to refuse him. The fourth kept accidentally catching the eye of the sovereign, burdened with work. The fifth, in order to achieve a long-desired goal - dinner with the sovereign, fiercely proved the rightness or wrongness of the newly expressed opinion and for this he brought more or less strong and fair evidence.
All the people of this party were catching rubles, crosses, ranks, and in this fishing they only followed the direction of the weather vane of the royal favor, and just noticed that the weather vane turned in one direction, when all this drone population of the army began to blow in the same direction, so that the sovereign the more difficult it was to turn it into another. Amid the uncertainty of the situation, with the threatening, serious danger that gave everything a particularly alarming character, amid this whirlwind of intrigue, pride, clashes of different views and feelings, with the diversity of all these people, this eighth, the largest party of people hired by personal interests, gave great confusion and vagueness of the common cause. No matter what question was raised, the swarm of these drones, without even sounding off the previous topic, flew to a new one and with their buzzing drowned out and obscured sincere, disputing voices.
