Will Get Over Fear of Stings.
Any one with steady nerves and n
goodly portion of patience and courage
can learn to handle bees successfully,
providing of course he has a taste for
the pursuit. There are, however, sonic
whose systems are very susceptible to
bee poison. These of course must
abandon the thought of it. Several
years ago when I began my bee career
I was stung on the wrist three succes
sive days. Tbe arm swelled from ai
bow to finger tips, and I thought I
would have to abandon my favorite
business. I have since been stung fifty
times in a slnglu day, and beyond the
momentary pain no bad results were
felt.
The system after a while becomes
Inoculated and a beekeeper never
thinks of applying anything for an an
tidote or remedy for a few bee stings.
Besides, tbe fear of stings passes en
tirely from his mind and he is perfect
ly happy and contented among his pets.
Some people will involuntarily dodge
or strike at the flying bees. This habit
must bo cured, for tbo bees are almost
sure to sting. Baas prefer not to be
disturbed, hence one should be very
gentle In handling them. No matter
how timid a person may be at the obt
set, after awhile he gains confidence
and becomes accustomed to-the work,
una the care of the beea will become a
source of pleasure. V. O. Herman, Jn

Making Strawberry Bed. ,
The strawberry requires a deep, rich
soil. Prepare the ground thoroughly
before planting, as this is luinortuut
for best results. After planting do not
let your cultivating be with the object
or Keeping the weeds out, but cultivate
to keep the ground loose nnd mellow
and the weeds will have no chance to
gain a foothold. In setting the plants
do not spread the roots near the sur
face uor twist them into a wad, but
spread them out und allow them to
reach straight down into the soil and
press the fresh earth solid against the
roots. If u a good plon to clip the

riantlnf Cnll Potatoes.
When seed potatoes are high tin
temptation is to use culls for planting.
In a very rich soil a weak plant can be
nursed along and mado to yield well
bo doubt of It but I am sure tbajr It tfl
poor economy to use poor seed. In po
tato growing, a stand of strong plant;
Is half tho battle. It Is best to put up
tho money necessary to get choice seed
for n crop that requires the labor and
expense that must be put upon tbe
care of a potato field.
as tnc potato thrives iiest In a cold
latitude, my preference Is for Northern
seed, or else for the Southern second
crop that makes Its growth in the late
full. An early matured crop In a
warm latitude does not make good seed
for another year. The heat has re
duced the vitality, and the material In
the cells feeding the sprout is ready to
mnke growth, and the potato cannot be
kept from sprouting too early In the
season. Seed from the North or a very
late crop further South Is surest of giv
ing good returns, and If It will pay to
plant potatoes at all next spring It will
pay to get the best seed. The chances
are that a big acreage of early varieties
will be planted If the seed can be got.
For such varieties a richer soil Is re
quired than for Inter varieties.
It is poor policy to plant the early va
rieties in a soil that Is not very fertile.
Such varieties, a"s a r ulei nre'ruore sub
ject to the early blight than some
mo mcuium or- late varieties, and
growth should be forced. Then, too,
nn early crop should be very early to
et tho best market, and fertility aids.
It is also true that the plant food be
comes more rapidly available In hot
weather, and an early crop gets the
least advantage from this source. Da

To Prevent Fence-Breaking.
The Australian Lender suggests this
improvement on a device to prevent
bulls from breuklng fences which was
published years ago In The Country
Gentleinnn devised by the South Aus-
trallan Department of Agriculture. It
is described ns follows;
"A block of wood Is screwed on to
each horn, and a wire stretched from
block to block and also to the nose ring
as shown. So long as there Is no pres
sure ou the wires between the ring and
the horns, the nose ring Is simply held
upwards without any discomfort to the
animal. Should tho bull rush any other
animal, or attempt to get through any
fence, tbe pressure pulls the nose ring
upwards, causing considerable pain. It
requires very few experiences to teach
the animal that any misbehavior on
bis part Is attended by suffering to
himself. One prominent breeder says
oven the fiercest of bulls Is quickly
tamed by this device. In place of tho
blocks on the horns, the latter are
sometimes bored through near the point
ana tho wires secured. The blocks)
may also be put In different ways, tbe
object being to bring the wires from
Xx6 horns to the nose away from tbe
head and face."
Improving- the Orate Crop.
Most Of our pasture nnd or.iaa lnmlo.
do not need thorough revolutionizing
ana replanting as much as a little en
cour.agement. Many fields have nearly
all the essentials of a fine pasture, but
they lack Just the necessary encourage
ment that the farmer falls to give
them. There Is first the pasture land
that Uas been heavily cropped for two
two or more years, and Is beginning to
shows signs of wenkness. It has had
the right start and has yielded heavily,
but It now demandu something more
than the ordinary attention. To pre
vent n complete failure of the next
crop It would be wise to cive Hint.
field a good dressing with something
tnnt win innke the plants thrifty aud
active. A dressing of 150 pounds of
nitrate of soda to the acre would en
courage the Slants to a new prnwth nf
great activity. Indeed, no field of grass
can De continuously cropped for two
or more seasons without needing some
such dressing. The cost of the nitrate
of soda will more than be compensated
for in the extra yield of the crop.
.A common practice to Improve a pas
ture field of this character, or, In fact,
nny other that begins to show signs of
weakness In places, is to sow more
seeds over it. Some try clover, think
ing that the seeds will catch and en
rich the whole crop and make It heav
ier. Tho fact Is, that Is waste of time
and good material. The clover, or grass
seeds will hardly take root without
plowing up the field, and Is not desired.
It Is much better to enrich the soli so
that the roots already established can
do their best. If the field, has been
properly sowed at the beginning there
should be roots enough In the soil, and
all that Is needed Is good soli and a lit
tle stimulation of the plants there.
In starting a field of grass or pasture
laud so much depends upon the way
of preparing tbe soli and eurlchlug It
with the right manures and chemicals.
Laud rightly fertilized and thoroughly
plowed and pulverized should make a
crop of grass thrive so that the ordi
nary cropping will not injure the roots.
Close cropping by animals late Jn the
season may cause trouble, because tbe
roots are exposed t the frost and
snow, and late cutting of grass or graz
ing of animals on It must be discour
aged. We should have full forage
crops for feeding the animals in the
autumu so the grass crop can be saved.
With a little care in this way, and an
annual top-dressing tbe yield of grass
could easily be kept up twice as long
as ordinarily proves to be the case.

VI THE question of good roads is
I one that at present Is recelv
I ing much attention, nnd un-
"J" der the direction of experts
of the office of Public. Kond Inquiries
of the United States Department of
Agriculture sections of roads, ns object
lessons, .ere being built in different
pnrts of tbo country. It Is hoped that
before many years all roads in the
United States used for heavy traffic
will be macadamized, graveled or
otherwise Improved. But tbe absence
In many places of rock, gravel or other
hard and durable substances with
which to build good rontls, nnd the ex
cessive cost of such roads where suit
able material Is scarce, will necessi
tate tbe use of earth roads for ninny
years to come. Under favorable con
ditions of traffic, moisture and main
tenance, the earth road Is tbe most
elastic and most satisfactory for pleas
ure and light traffic.
The United States Department of
Agriculture has In press and will soon
Issue Farmers' Bulletin No. 130, en
titled, "Earth Itoads." It was pre
pared by Maurice O. Eldrldgc, As
sistant Director, Fublic Road In
quiries. The bulletin states that the aim In
making n road is to establish the eas
iest, shortest nnd most economical line
of travel, and that It Is therefore de
slrablo that roads should be firm,
smooth, comparatively level nnd lit
for use at all seasons of the year.
They should be properly located so
that their grades shall be such that
loaded vehicles may bo drawn over
them without great loss of energy;
properly constructed, the roodbed
graded, shaped and rolled, nnd sur
faced with tho best available material
suited to their needs.
Attention Is called to various errors
in laying out roads, especially the com
mon eiTor of endeavoring to secure
routes covering the shortest distance
between fixed points. For this pur
pose the road is often mnde to go over
a hill instead of around It. A road
halfway around a hill or through a
valley Is sometimes no longer than a
road over a hill or through a valley.
The difference lu tho length even be
tween a straight road and one that Is
lightly curved Is less than many sup
pose. .
The importance of proper drainage
Is pointed out and suggestions are
given for the construction, mainten
ance nnd repair of earth roads.
The bulletin contains twenty illus
trations. It Is for free distribution,
nnd copies will be sent to nny address
on application to Senators, Represen
tatives and delegates in Congress, or
to the Secretnry of Agriculture, Wash

Milking a Good Hlchway.
A good road can be made by putting
In a layer1 of large or medium-sized
stone, then on that a layer of crushed
stone, and on that a covering of gravel,
and rolling tbe surface down hard
nnd smooth. But that Is not all that Is
needed. A part of tbe skill is like
tbe old gentleman's rule for making
good coffee: When you make It put
In some." Wo have been watching the
work on a bit of road this season.
There are about three Inches In depth
of tbe round cobble stones, one Inch
of crushed stone nnd one inch of gra
vel and loam mixed, which, by wetting
and rolling has been so pressed down
Into the stones that It is now less than
a half Inch. If It were whitewashed
after It was rolled It could not look
much better, but It might be more
durable. We think before one winter
passes tbe larger stones will be nt the
surface aud the covering will hava
washed away or settled down below
tbera. In close proximity to a strip
built by the State as an example of
bow to build a good road, it Is likely
to furnish an equally good example of
how not to make a good road. It Is
one of these cases, too common where
the town thought to give employment
to Its own citizens, instead of hiring
tbe work done by contract, when It
would huve been better to have em
ployed a competent man, with able
bodied help, and supported Its cripples
from tbe town's poor fund, tbun to
have paid them $1.75 for eight hour
loafing, or trying to do that which some
of them where nnnble to do by reuson
of old age, and others were utterly In
competent to do well, whllo few ol
them cared for or took any Interest in
any part of the work, excepting uraw
ing their pay. American Cultivator..

Thi Wrong Autiernl.
"Look here, my dear," said the man
to his wife as be glanced through the
obituary notices in the paper, "here is
poor Aunt Jane dead ; she is going to be
buried this evening, and I ought to go to
the funeral."
"Of course you should," said Dear;
"you must get ready at once and hurry
off."
In ten minutes the man was on the
street car and in half an hour in tbe
church where the service was to be held.
It was a long time since he bad seen
Aunt Jane (he was a busy man), and
he had almost forgotten her existence.
Hut as he sat tberc in the big bare
church a feeling of sadness stole over
him. He remembered tbe early days of
his childhood, when Aunt Jane was a
frequent visitor at the house, and the
many little kindnesses she had done for
him. His childhood seemed so far
away; there had been so many changes
since, so many of the people associated
with it had passed away, and, as he
thought of it all, the tears rose to his
eyes. The ceremony proceeded and the
mourners at last passed up to the front
for a last look at the face of the dear
one. The man. his eyes still moist, stop
ped suddenly for a second as he looked
upon the quiet face, and then he looked
again. He had not seen Aunt Jane for a
long time', but he knew her well enough
to know that while this was a woman of
about the same age and evidently the
same name, it was not Aunt Jane. He
drew a long breath as he passed down
the aisle and out into the street, and now
he does not attend funerals without a
previous investigation.
Th Am.rlCRn Crowds.
While he was still in this country
Prince Henry was reported to have said
hancjsome things about the American
crowds. Now that be has arrived home
they are still his theme. "Nowhere else
in the world are the crowds so well be
haved as in America, and they them
selves are their own controllers." The
point of the compliment to the German
mind will be found in the last sentence.
No crowd in Germany, on an occasion
similar to the demonstrations .which at
tended Prince Henry here, would be suf
fered to be its own controller. Soldiers
by the thousand would control it. It
would not be safe to let a crowd be un
controlled, not safe for the guests, the
people gathered to sec, not safe for the
people themselves. There are many other
things besides German crowds that have
to be controlled by show of force. A
people which governs itself, choosing the
administrators of the laws, from highest
to lowest, gets a training in self-control
that serves upon all occasions of ordi
nary excitement.

ter written from Washington, D. C, says:
"Allow me to express my gratitude to you for the benefit
derived from one bottle of Peruna. One week has brought won
derful changes and I am now as well as ever. Besides being one
of the very best spring tonics It Is an excellent catarrh rt medyv '
DAN. A. OROSVUNOR.
In a recent letter he says:
"I consider Peruna really more meritorious than I did when
I wrote you last. I receive numerous letters from acquaintances
all over the Country asking me if my certificate is genuine. I
invariably answer, yes. "---Dun. A. Grosvenor.

Visitor (to condemned murderer)
Mow old arc you ?
Murderer Nineteen, sir.
Visitor It is sad, indeed, to sec one
ff) young condemned to such an ignomi
nious death, but 1 am afraid it is too late
to do anything for you now. Is there
not, lfowever, some hist request you
would like to have me cenvey to your
loved ones?
Murderer Yes; please tc'.l my folks
to have put on my gravestone, "The good
die young."
The Tatter Dlecnnnted.
"Ah ! Nature, noble Nature !" ex
claimed the maiden, m a rapture of de
light. "Oh! Mr. Spooneigh, is there
anything more delightful than to sit here
and listen to the gentle patter of the
raindrops?"
"Ah really, I er I think the su
preme delight of my life just now would
be to remember who borrowed my um
brella last."

himself should never complain oi the cold.
Lost His
R-hevi mutism
By tho uso of a bottle of
St. Jsxcohs Oil.
Skroeant Jeremiah Maker, of Ard
cath. Royal Irish Constabulary, says : " My
friend, Mr. Thomas Hand, has been a great
sufferer from rheumatism in the back and
joints for the last four years, during which
time he has employed many different
methods of treatment, but obtained no relief
whatever, and for the last two years has
been unable to walk without a stick, and
sometimes two sticks, and was in great pofn
constantly. I induced him to procure a
bottle of St. Jacobs Oil, which he applied
with the most astonishing and marvellous
effects. Before he had finished using the
contents of the first bottle he could walk
readily without tho aid of a stick, and after
a few applications from the second bottle he
was free from pain, and has been ever since ;
and although fifty years of age and a farmer,
he can walk and work without experiencing
any pain or difficulty whatever."
