HIVE-STANDS. One Seven Feet Long Will Give Room for Four Hives. I have my hives set on stands seven feet long, each stand accommodating four hives, writes a correspondent of Bee Culture. The following is a dia gram of one of these stand" - The hives are set in two 4 ;rs with I A Good Hive Stand. a space between each of the pairs the width of a hive. This is convenient when making the spring interchange of brood-chambers above mentioned. The 2x4-ineh sills on which the hives rest are 1V& and 2 inches from the ground, the rear sill being the high est. The roofs of the stands are ma 1c of light 14-inch boards, and aro high enough above tho hives to allow cf necessary tiering up an! easy handling of supers. VIGOROUS FOWLS. Watcl) the Flock and Pi&k Eest for Future Breeders. Any person that has much to do with fowls is forced to notice the greater vigor of some when compared to others. In a flock of 50 fowls per haps ten will show exceptional vigor. These should be kept for breeding, and the fowls with weaker constitu tions should be disposed of, says Farm ers' Review. This vigor means a great er power to produce flesh if flesh is wanted or to produce eggs if eggs are wanted. The vigorous fowls are the ones that resist disease the most effective ly. The disease killing factors in their blood are more powerful than in the less vigorous fowls. Therefore with such fowls, the losses from dis ease are sure to be less than if other fowls are kept. The less vigorous birds are the ones that first fall vic tims to any poultry disease that comes along. Therefore the quicker they are fattened and made into meat the surer is the owner of getting his money out of them. The less vigorous fowls are doubt less as good for food as any others, and that is where their greatest utility will be found. This question of vigor has not received the attention it is worthy to receive, for it counts for much in the development of the far mer's fleck. BEE AND POULTRY NOTES. A good queen of a good honey-gath ering strain of bees is more important than any other thing in bee-keeping. Stale, not mouldy, bread moistened with milk with a little fine grit mixed In is one of the best first feeds for little ducks. Try a good grade of prepared roof ing on the hive covers. It is water proof and will save the frequent paint ing necessary with wooden covers. Candied comb honey can frequently be liquified by putting it in an incu bator and keeping it at a temperature of 103 to 105 degrees for ten days to two weeks. Try it in a small way. Sow a small patch of rape in the garden for the hens. It will provide ,green food all summer. There are many outlets for the egg besides the consumer's table. It takes over a million dozen per year in the manufacture of calico. Burlap sacks make the best feed ing devices for young ducks. Take them up as soon as the ducks are done eating and wash them when they become dirty. The lazy man should never engage in the poultry business. Poultry rais ing requires more hard and continu ous work per dc«llar of profit than any other division of the farm. Pullets should be fed wheat and oats, also beef scraps, if obtainable, but do not allow them to get fat, as fat pullets do not begin to lay early. Don't let the chickens go into win ter quarters on a dirt floor if the poultry house is in a low, damp loca tion; a board floor will provide warmth. Birds that are raised in large num bers should have meat or ground bone, as it is possible that even free range will not supply enough animal food. Likes Dry Feeding. I find the dry feeding method very satisfactory with young chicks, writes a correspondent of Farm and Home. 'We use a small mill for cracking corn. The cofn is mixed with bran and fed in a long feeding trough or board. It takes only three-fourths as much feed as by the wet mash system, the fowls do not gorge themselves, the timid ones get their share, and the feed left over does not sour and cause bowel and other trouble. Give the chicks all the milk you can spare, but feed it Itself. Management Courts. As in all other business, manage ment counts for most in the production of poultry The ration may be ever so perfect, the battle with the pests and diseases may be ever s<» effective, but without management profits will bo turned into losses trary time. A HOME-MADE BROODER. Suggestion for the Making of a Serv iceable Device. The home-made brooder may be a drygoods box, made about 2M>x2ty xl feet long, built of matched lumber, with a loose cover made a little larger with its edges dropped 4 Inches. The entire outside of the box should be covered with felt roofing. The door on one end should be large and low. A frame, made of three inch stuff, laid flat, fits close around the bottom of the inside. A 6-inch cross piece laid flat through the middle of the box engages the side of the frame. A 3-inc.b cross »iece is placed on edge, ao aie middle of the box, resting on the (i-inch flat cross piece and held by cleats nailed to the inside of the box. The hover, explains the Farmers' Mail and Breeze, is made over a rec tangular frame, of lath made to fit In side the box, with thin canton-flannel on the underside, arranged in a loose bagging or flowing manner and held in place with carpet tacks. The lfover rests won three buttons, one on each side at. ' one on one end, 4 inches above the bottom of the box. A wii"? is stretched across one end of the ' ) of box, carrying a hook on whi . to hai.ri a lantern. . To use at night, close the door, place a mat in each end or division, also 40 chickens in each division, place the hover on the buttons, hank a lighted lantern on the wire and put cover in place, on which lay a good-sized stone. A brooder without the two following essentials in not worthy the name: First. The door should be large anil low enough that the chickenrj will go In nt night without help, by the end of the first week of their existence. Second. It should be so constructed that the door may be closed in bad weather, the hover removed, chicks fed and watered, mats changed, etc., without opening the dcor. THE LARGE INCUBATOR. It Is to B; Preferred to One of Small er Capacity. The size of the Incubator must bo regulated by the operator's needs, but we believe a small machine does not pay so well as the larger sizes, for the cost of operation is nearly as much and less time is required to care for one large brood than several small ones. When the beginner can hold the temperature steady and the same in all parts of the egg chambar for 24 hours it is safe to putin the eggs. These should be carefully selected, of medium size and of good shape, not elongated, nor very large at one end nor flattened. The shell should bo smooth and firm not thin or porous nor too heavy. By the way, says the Farm and Field, one should be careful about the place of storage for eggs for hatching purposes; if it is too cold the germ will be chilled; if too warm the germ may begin to grow. Kggs have been I.nown to germinate at f>9 de grees. The eggs need not be placed in rows, but never should be crowded so that they are piled on each other. Upon the care of the lamp and the regulation of the temperature depends in a great measure the success of the hatch. Always supply the lamp with a new wick at the beginning of each in cubation and fill it late in the after noon for then if anything happens it will be in the daytime. Never handle the eggs after caring for the lamp as there is danger of closijig the pores of the eggs. A SELF LIBERATOR. Trap Door Which the Chickens Can Open Themselves. Chickens like togo out as early as possible in the morning and look for always agreeable or convenient to liberate them early, hence the desirability of the automatic latch •pS 1 *? shown in tho il- C-1 lustration. Baited 6RAt !L> I | with a little grain, nR says the Farm How it Works, and Home, the first chick that steps upon the board a, containing it will cause the latch, b, overhead to open and tho door, c, in front, which is set at an outward angle for that purpose, will fall flat of its own accord. All the inmates of the coop then have a chance togo out and roam where they please. This trap must not be set until after dark for as long as it is light the chicks will see the grain and thus spring it at once. The Small Flock. A small fleck of hens pays better per hen than a large flock because the birds have more range around the farm buildings and more floor space in the houses and coops. Give the birds plenty of room and air and a thousand can be made to return as large a profit per bird as a hundred. Clean Up. Early in the season before it gets too hot, whitewash house and coops and add a generous amount of car bolic acid to the whitewash and sprinkle it on the floor. I do this two or three times during tcy summer, keep house clean and arr % ot troubled at all with mites. Be Gentle with Flock. Always make friends of your fowls and chicks so they will not be fright ened when you go among them or when for any reason you are obliged to catch them. A severe fright dooi much to decrease the profits. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, JUNE n, 1908. A KENTUCKY CASE. That Will Interest All Suffering Women. Mrs. Delia Meanes, 328 E.

"We get some sad cases," said the attendant at the Lumpton lunatic asylum to the iuterested visitor, and openeo the door of the first cell. Inside was a man sitting on a three legged stool, gating vacantly at fhe wall. "His Is an unhappy story," said the attendant. "He was in love with a gill, but she married another man, and he lost his reason from grief.'* They stole out softly, closing the door behind them, and proceeded to the next inmate. This cell was thickly padded, and the man within was stark, staring mad. "Who is this?" inquired the visitor. "Th.s?" repeated the attendant. "This is the other man!"—Tatler. "Helpful Hints" That Hinder. Many of the "helpful Lints" followed by our mothers are now proved utterly useless, if not more harmful than helpful. For instance, no one now uses moist tea leaves to clean a carpet or rug, because of the inevitable stain ing. And salt used on a carpet col lects dampness and rusts (lie tacks. Newspapers, dampened and torn, an swer the purpose nuich more satisfac torily. Rugs should be shaken from the sides, for the strain of the weight on the end is very apt to loosen the weft.

THE FIRST TASTE Learned to Drink Coffee When a Baby. If parents realized the fact that cof fee contains a drug—caffeine—which is especially harmful to children, they would doubtless hesitate before giv ing the babies coffee to drink. "When I was a child in my mother's arms and first began to nibble things at the table, mother used to give me sips of coffee. As my parents used coffee exclusively at meals I never knew there was anything to drink but coffee and water. "And so I contracted the coffee habit early, i remember when quite young, the continual use of coffee so affected my parents that they tried roasting wheat and bailey, then ground it in the coffee-mill, as a substitute for coffee. "But it did not taste light and they went back to coffee again. That was long before Postum was ever heard of. 1 continued to use coffee until I was 27, and when I got into office work, I be gan to have nervous spells. Especially after breakfast I was so nervous I could scarcely attend to my corre spondence. "At night, after having coffee for supper, I could hardly sleep, and on rising in the morning would feel weak and nervous. "A friend persuaded me to try Post um. My wife and 1 did not like it at first, but later when boiled good and strong it was fine. Now we would not give up Postum for the best coffee we ever tasted. "I can now get good sleep, am free from nervousness and headaches. I recommend Postum to all coffee drink ers. "There's a Reason." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

"I can't see that we are to blame for that," protested the superintendent. "What do you expect us to do, get her a new dress?" "No, sir, I do not," rejoined the angry citizen, brandishing a piece of cloth. "What ' propose is that you people shall match this material."— Harper's Weekly. BAD ITCHING HUMOR. Limbs Below the Knees Were Raw— Feet Swollen—Sleep Broken— Cured in 2 Days by Cuticura. "Some two months ago I had a hu mor break out on my limbs below my knees. They came to look like raw beefsteak, all red, and no one knows how they itched and burned. They were so swollen that I could not get my k'io-s on for a r/eek or more. I \is.rt five or six different remedies and got no help, only when applying them the burning was worse and the itchinc less. For two or three weeks the suf fering was intense and during that time 1 did not sleep an hour at a time. Then one morning I tried a bit of Culicura. From the moment it touched me the itching was gone and I have not telt a bit of it since. The swelling went ('own and in two days I had my shoes on and was about as usual. George B.
