FARM w MATTERS. When to Transfer tlees. If you have any liccs you wish to transfer from box hires to movable frame M vps, It shoulil be doue during the period of fruit bloom. At this time the bws ure nluiost sure of a living and It will give them a whole season to become estHbllshed In their new hived, besides making some sur plus honey. Bees kept la box hives re unprofitable. ' A Safe Inrentraent Some farmers consider pure breeds, or what tbey term "fancy stock'1 ns too costly, when, In fact, no safer Invest merit can be mode than in pure breeds, and there Is nothing "fancy" about It, To Invest in pure breeds Is simply to procure something better, and thus in crease the profits. No farmer should be satisfied with what he has as long as some other farmer has something that is superior to his, us he should aim to use the best. Marking Tools. An excellent mode of marking tools is to clean the piece to be marked cover with a thin layer of beeswax, mark the name In the wux with a sharp Instrument, and cutting through to the Iron or Bteel. Then fill the lines marked with nitric acid, allowing It to stand as long as desired, washing it oft with water. The edges of the wax may be raised to form a' basin and the acid poured into the basin, as it will then go down to the metal through the lines marked. Crows in the Cornfield. 'A farmer whoso field of corn was last year partly Injjred by crows and blackbirds pulling up the young plant to get the corn states that he tried the plan of scattering corn around the edges of the field dally until the plants were well grown, with the result that the birds were kept too busy searchlug for the grains on the ground to do much domoge, and that he did not have to use more than oue-half a peck daily. As the birds also destroy many insects and worms, he did not desire to poison or shoot them. By scattering corn lor tuem the crop was then dum aged very little. Ho(t Conservatism. Now, more than ever, there will be diligent attention paid to the hogs on handtheir wants will be studied and they will thrive proportionately. These spurts of high prices seldom benefit the majority, since their dish Is bottom up when tJie share of porridge falls. And it Is the eccentric, flckle-niimled persons thnt will be caught with a largo number of hogs when the price pendulum swings to the other side. Do not Invest recklessly in breeding stock at thlj time of high-water values. Of all domestic animals swine Increase In the greatest ratio, and under the Btimulus of the present price the num ber will be increased by reason of im proved care. While It pays to raise bogs in conjunction with the dairy, It uever has, and never will, pay the manufactory to keep the swine quar tered near n creamery or cheese fac tory. Dakota Farmer. Shelter For the Cattle. Cattlo and sheep suffer greatly In treeless pastures for some shelter from the sun's heat and from cold storms and showers. How easy it is to build simple, rough shelter that will give the needed protection Is shown in the cut. Old boards, a few pieces of joist or rough poles and an hour's labor will do the work and the stock will be aved much needless suffering and will also thrive much better. Orange Judd .

Tho butter used for packing should bo absolutely free and untainted when packed away, and then the very best and cleanest methods of packing should be employed. It should bo remembered that a very little tainted butter left In any firkin or tub will Injure the whole lot packed In It. Absolute cleanliness is tho first essential.

It is un. wise policy to purchase second-hand nrkius and expect to pack butter lr them to keep until winter.

Mrs. n G. l ord, In American Agriculturist. Tho Canada Thistle. An enemy which Is dreaded more than the seventeen-year locust is the Canada thistle, which does more Injury every year to farms in this country than many other causes to which great er uitentlon is given. It spreads slow ly apparently, but .It sooner or later tukes full possession of the laud, nnd unless eradicated the entire farm be comes worthless. The heavier seeds. which are carried by winds, will germi nate, but Its progress Is by meons of long white root stocks, which are proof against disease and seasons. It Is claimed that a piece of root stock. If icrt In the soil, will grow from six to ten feet in a season, and from each small piece as many as fifty heads will grow. Tho best season for beginning the war on thistles is in June. Plow the laud and then plow again every icw weens until well into tho fall, the object being to destroy tho young growth ns fast as It appears, as any plant must succumb If deprived of forming leaves, as plants breathe through the agency of the leaves. An other plan Is to allow them to crow un til the plants are Just high enough to mow and then run the mower over the field, repeating the work us fast as the plants appear. As the farmer may prefer to utilize the land he can plow the land and plant u to potatoes, ir He will then give tho potato crop frequent cultivation he will destroy many of the thistles and the potatoes will pay for the labor. It may not be possible to subdue the thstlcs the first year, but if the work Is well done the thistles may be completely de stroyed the second . year, wheu tho grouud should be plowed in the spring aud a crop of early cabbages grown, re moving the cabbage crop und broud eostlng the land, after plowing and harrowing with Hungarian grass seed. As the Hungarlun grass grows rapidly und may be mowed once a month It gives the thistles but little chance, while the previous cultivation of tho cabbage crop will have greatly reduced the thistles In number. The nolnt H to keep the thistles cut down from July to frost, after which they will bo under control. The roadsides must also be carefully attended to, for it is on tho unculti. vated roadside that weeds are ncalect. ed and hence are protected. Neighbors should also work harmoniously In tho destruction of weeds, as frequently some negligent farmer injures the en tire community by nroduclucr the mh of weeds which ure carried by tho winds over a large area. Weeds may also be carried long distances on the tops or rallroud cms or by water; in fuct, there are so many modes of dis tribution that it is almonr for any farmer to escape the nuisance of weeds, but all farmers can prevent their spread, and in nmMii,. neighbor he also protects himself.

Is about to en- ter upon auother stage of progress, which will appeal with special force to those Interested In things beautiful Heretofore the utilitarian view of road Improvement has been kept well in the foreground, but now several New Eng. land communities are emphasizing the aesthetic value of beautiful road-sides. Scientific road treatment must of ne cessity como first, but beautifying road sides represents even a more advanced stage of civilization. The pleasure of riding Aver good, firm, smooth country roads Is greatly Increased when the treus, shrubbery and general road-side 'appearances are pleasant to look at, nnd cool ond Inviting to the eye. Thai there ore an art and n science In road side treatment Is made very apparent by experiments mode In New England. Instead of sacrificing trees that would take holf a century to replace, the road mnsters devise some methods of pre serving t'-iem, while new trees are planted at favorable places. Shrubbery along road-sides can be either n nuis ance or a source of great aesthetic value. It all depends upon Its location And natiu'e. Along many road-sides the attempt Is mode to cut down all weeds, shrubbery and grass. Clean sweep Is made of everything, nnd the result la anything but. artistic. The movement started In New Kng land now Is to plant trees and shrub! along the road-sides to enhance their beauty. The plantings are far enough back from the roadway so thai branches will never Interfere wltb passing carriages, and steps are taken to keep the ditches free from nil ob stmctlng growths. It is asserted that If farmers would give as much atten tlou to trimming and caring for these trees and shrubs as they now devote te ruthless cutting down of everything along the road side In the fall of the year, they would thrive and produce artistic effects. The selection of the proper trees and shrubs for the differ ent roods Is a matter for local consld' eratlon. but those which do not harboi insects Injurious to field crops, and which give the most striking effect tc the landscape, are wcommended. These trees should be trimmed high so that surrounding views of the country will not be shut off, and in this way one will get the benefit of the shade with out spolllnsr the view. Such nrtistlt treatment of tho road-sides requires Ju dicious management, but systematic study of the subject is now being car rled on In different parts of New Eng land, and It Is expected within a yeai or two a decided change for the bettei will be noticed along the leading coun try highways. Unsightly hedges and close-cropped road-sides, with a gen eral air of neglect and untidiness, maj then disappear entirely, and the trav eler will find constant feasts for th, eye as he rides or drives through the country.

There has been 8 very great Improvement in these direc tlons in recent years, but there Is still room for discriminating improvement " This short paragraph explains the pe cullarity of the author's views. He considers a road reasonably good evci if It is practically Impassable for loadi when the frost is going out of the ground; while people who want roade that ore firm nnd hard all the yeai around, without clouds of dust in drj weather and without mud in wet weather, consider such a road unreas onably bad for a district that can of ford something better.

One day when the Senate was in session a mountaineer from the wildest wilds of Kcntucy pre sented himself at the door and asked to see Senator Carlisle. The visitor wore homespun and leather boots and was travel-stained and dusty. He explain ed that he had read Mr. Carlisle's speeches and considered them great, and had walked more than ioo miles in order to see the Senator from his State. Mr. Carlisle was busy at the time, and the clerk informed the visitor that he could not be disturbed. The farmer looked disappointed and seemed reluc tant to depart. Finally he asked if he might be taken where he could just catch a glimpse of the great man he had walked so far to see. The request was granted and Mr. Carlisle, was point ed out to him.

The Paris police have recently been Informed by one af the fraternity or whip-crackers that such a calling ex ists and claims recognition a one of the "professions" by the exercise ef which men earn their livelihood In France. Whip-crackers, It appears, are men who possess strong wrists and are willing to crack whips alj day long, if required, on receipt of a suitable fee. At the commencement of the shooting season, when the proprietors of neigh boring demesnes are not good friends, tho one who bears ill-will to the other engages a whip cracker, whose duty' It is to crack a whip so as to frighten away all the birds at the approach of the disliked sportsman and his friends. The whlpcrackers are also found useful by farmers afflicted with dis eased cattle which they cannot' sell. Having engaged a whipcracker, they turn out the sick beasts on the most frequented highway they can find. Tho cracker follows with his whip, osten sibly to guide the cattle, really to drive them under the wheels of a car riage, a motor car or a tram. This he docs by cracking his whip at tho critical moment so as to frighten the beasts and drive them to destruction. Roads Made nf Gold.

A distinguished Episcopal clergy man was once called on to officiate at a fashionable summer resort church. and, finding only a short surplice and no cassock In the vestry, wa very much disturbed at the thought of hav ing to appear in a vesture that to the frivolous would look like a white shirt and trousers. But a happy inspiration came to him. Why not wear one of his wife's black petticoats? The por tion that would Bhow below the sur plice would look exactly like the regu lation cassock, and no one would ever be the wiser. So he hurrledlv sent one of ths UBhors with an explanatory note to his wife In the hotel, and In the nick of time the petticoat arrived.
