BEES
BEE KEEPING
APIARY IN COLD WEATHER.
If Hive Entrance Ib Too 8mall Comba
Get Mouldy.
With too small nn entrance, In a
damp climate, you will bo sure ot
mouldy combs and more than tho
proper amount of dead bees. The
trouble becomes aggravated In tho
ourso of tho winter by tho clogging
of the entrance with dead bees. Let
the full entrance be given as In sum
mer, and see that the dead bees are
cleaned from It every few weeks. Dur
ing heavy storms In winter It fre
quently happens that hives are entire
ly burled In Bnow. While the now
Is light and porous air will penetrate
it and reach the entrance of the hives,
but should the snow become crusty,
or Ice form at the entrance, the bees
would be In danger of suffocating. It
is well to havo all hives facing south
ward, so the sun can snlne on the
entrance of the hive and keep them
free from ice. After a heavy fall of
snow we always sweep In front of
the hives, leaving the snow banked
around the other three sides, as It
will do no harm there but will help to
keep off the prevailing winds. Bees
will take an ocaslonal night during
warm days in winter, and sometimes
many are seen lying about dead on
the snow, but such are generally tho
old ones that are easily chilled and
tail to get back to their hives. Such
losses are not serious. Even when
tne snow is on the ground, and It
looks as If It would be a pity for so
many bees to fly and rop on this white
sheet, wo find that It is the colonies
which take the most lively, flight that
winter best, and we have paid parti
cular attention to this fact.
Some people are of the opinion
that If we have a cold steady winter,
in which the bees remain confined in
their hives for several months, there
Is less danger of the overloading of
their bowels with fecal matter which
they cannot discharge in the hiVe,
without greatly endangering the life
or health of the colony. DIarrhoe Is
often brought about during the winter
season. It is no doubt caused by fer
mented or extremely thin honey. It
has been found that bees located near
cider mills will contract the trouble
from feeding too much on the apple
pomace or can Juice. Cold weather
dampness, or a sudden change of tem
perature have been known to bring
on the disease. No remedy has been
discovered. However, the bees should
be kept as warm as possible and tho
hive should be well wrapped as soon
as the outbreak Is noticed. During
the cider making season, the pomace
should be removed and fed to tho
hogs or disposed of so that the bees
cannot partake of it.
During the winter months the bees
are huddled close together in a com
pact cluster, the interior of which Is
at a normal temperature, while the
space outside of It may be even be
low freezing. As the season advances,
and the weather gets warmer, the
cluster Is brought in, but all the work
done is on'y Inside of the cluster, as
the temperature is too low outside of
It to admit of anything to be done.
F. G. Herman.
A Winter Precaution.
The beehive should face the south
to prevent the entrance of north
winds and cold. Yet in very warm
winter days the sun may so heat up
the front of the hive as to call the
bees out Into the open air when the
temperature Is really too low. In this
way many bees are sometimes lost.
A wide board placed in front of the
hive will help to ward off undue heat
and make the situation less tempting
to flight.
Alfalfa Good for Bees.
Since the coming of Alfalfa, any
section of the country where it Ib
grown to good advantago Is well
adapted to bee keeping. Beo keepers
ay that each colony ought to aver
age from $3.00 to $5.00 worth of
honey every year besides the swarms
which come off.
Those Who Succeed Best.
Those who are in the bee business
because there is money in it are not
as apt to succeed as those who are
in It also because they are fond of
bees and their care. It takes a fond
ness for a business to obtain its best
success.
Best Honey Districts.
Some localities aro very much bet
ter for honey than others. Southern
California and Southwestern Texas
are among the best countries in the
world. Intelligence, industry and a
good location are necessary to the
best results.
There are still some who argue that
the most money for them is In old
Ideas, old methods, and common bees.
They regard the new as too expensive.
The best bee keepers, and those who
make the most money use up-to-date
methods.
Persons of irregular habits, afraid
of too much .work, careless, or un
kind, would better not take up the
bee business, or handling live things
of any kind.
Let no man undertake bee keeping
thinking that It Is an easy task. Bee
keeping Ib like growing a crop. It
takes care and labor to make It succeed.
HOW TRACKS ARE LEVELED.
Unique Method Used to Mako Trav
eler Comfortable.
Curiosity Is often displayed by trav
elers over the method employed In
making mile after mile of trackage
so level that scarcoly an undulation
can bo felt as the whizzing train reels
off tho laps. This loveliness Is main
tained by the "whitewash" car.
The "whitewash" car, is an ordi
nary vehiclo fitted out with a sort of
whitewash magazine. As tho cam
run over the rails at a moderate gait,
the developed sense of the division of
ficials notes any Inequalities, and at
each one a valve is pressed, where at
a dash of whitewash falls on tho
traclti at the points whore later tho
working gangs get busy to make
things even.
This homely "whitewash" car is giv
ing way rapidly, however, to a mor
modern and scientific arrangement in
tho way of a handsome coach elegant
ly fitted out with many comforta, and
in which Is to be found a delicate in
strument. This latter Is so construct
ed that It registers all unovenness in
the tracks on paper, which has Indi
cated on It the mileage and names of
stations along the way, so that when
a run Is completed It will bo shown
Just where repairing needs to be
done. The Indicating sheet la sent to
the proper department heads of the
company, and by them the work of
making the roadbed level Is prose
cuted. A Punctual Pensioner.
A gentleman one day noticed a hungry-looking
dog prowling round his
yard, and struck by the poor brute's
famished appearance, he fetched a
large bone and by no means a bare
one, which he threw to the four-footed
vagabond. It was caxctly twelve
o'clock when the bone was given and
carried off.
The giver thought no more of the
matter, but evidently the dog did, for
on the following day at the same hour
he made his appearance, with an ex
pectant look about him which told
that he hoped for a further contribu
tlon.
Amused at the effort to establish
himself as an out-pensloner, and de
sirous of finding out whether the dog's
arrival at this particular timo was a
mere chance, the gentleman gave him
a second supply of food.
Punctual to time, the dog presented
himself on the third, looking even
more confident than before. Ho was
duly fed, and for a great length of
time this self-elected pensioner made
his dally apearance at his patron's
door with notable punctuality.
One Is led to wonder whether the
dog may have regulated his own move
ments by observing those of some in
dividual In going to and from his
work, and whether when the four
footed animal was a few minutes late
It might be because the biped was un
punctual or his clock slow.
Where Swallows Go.
The swallows all spend the winter
In Central America and the south part
of Mexico. They appear In the
southern states as early as the mid
dle of February, but seldom get as
! far north as New England until tho
month of May. The robins winter In
the southern states and In northern
Mexico. They are to be seen in flocks
the winter through In the gulf states
World's Sweetest Plant.
An Austrian journal tells of a plant
called Parkld blglobosa, recently dis
covered in Africa, which produces a
fruit containing 20 per cent reducing
sugar, which puts It In the first rank
of sugar-producing plants.
Mustard.
Mustard is the oldest of condiments,
the Egyptians regarding it as an aid
to digestion. The ancients ate It
freely, and It was sold by peddlers in
Solomon's time. The Normans and
Anglo-Saxons In the earliest times
never went to war without an ample
supply of prepared mustard, they con
sidered it both food and medicine.
The plant seems to thrive in all parts
of the world, and Is eaten by every
civilized nation and many heathen
tribes, either as a spring salad, for
which the young leaves are delicious,
as a seasoning prepared from the
ground seed.
NO BUTTER TRUST
POSSIBLE.
Every time of high prices for butter
Is the occasion of a lot of silly talk
In tho newspapers about a butter
trust. No one can organize a trust
In such a product for the reason that
every farmer Is able to begin com
petition and start making butter when
ever ho thinks It may pay him to do
so. The real cause of nine-tenths of
the advance in the butter price Is the
higher cost of grain. Dairymen, in
stead of talking of a trust, are trying
hard to convince themselves that
there is still a little profit In the busl
ness after payln; grain bills, and most
of them, If asked, would express the
opinion that the margin between cost
and selling price is less now than In
other times when butter was selling
for less money per pound.
Grass Raincoats.
The summers in Mexico are too hot
for the wearing of rubber garments
to shed rain, and closely woven coats
of grass are a fair substitute. Some
of these have a hood attached.

MILKING MACHINE ECONOMY.
Method By Which It Is Made a Fix
ture In Barn.
A prominent dairyman gives this
as his method of installing milking
machines In his barns:
Instead ot placing expensive pip
ing through eighty feet of stall room,
with connections at each cow stall,
he has .arranged something en
tirely different. He has a special
stall or milking room to accommo
date four cows, two animals stand
ing with heads to the right and two
with heads to the left. This neces
sitates only a short piping system.
Tho milking machine Is thus practi
cally a fixture at one spot, and the
apparatus, tubes, receiving can, milk
cups, etc., can' be fixed at one point.
This make a it unnecessary to shift
the appliances so frequently.
The cows In this barn havo been
trained to go to the milking ma
chine instead of taking the milking
machine to the cows. The animals
are taken in turn. They are assem
bled near by at milking time, and
four cows are admitted to the room
at a time. They know they are to
be fed In this certain place and are
always ready for It. As soon as they
take their places they are fastened,
tho milk cups adjusted to the teats,
and the cows are milked while eat-

lng. The whole Job is completed In
ten minutes and another quartet of
cows brought up to take their
places.
Among other advantages this
means little or no manure at that
place, also greater ease and facility
In adjusting machines, and. Is con
sidered by this progressive dairyman
simple and better in every way.
Dairy Notes.
Never use musty or dirty litter.
We are often inclined to mistake
lack of "gumption" for "hard luck."
Keep the stable and dairy room
in good condition, fresh air, dry and
clean.
The Imitation gives just as good
satisfaction as the genuine as long
as a difference Is not known.
Good judgment Is of more value
than either knowledge or skill, al
though each Is desirable.
When calves are fed skim milk
It should be warmed to blood heat
before giving or It may cause
scours.
If every person were to receive
credit for Intentions Instead of ac
tions, many a one would be judged
differently than under the present
plan.
We must conclude that the slug
gish spirited, dull eyed man must
have a poor chance In this world
when we remember that even the old
cow must have a bright eye and a
highly strung nervous system in or
der to be a success.
Making a Poor Cow.
Physical comfort means much to
all sensitive creatures. With shelter
from the elements, hunger and thirst
satisfied, no aggravation from flies
or other insect pests and in no fear
of man or other creatures, the cow
stands some chance of showing what
she is good for, but let the sun and
rain by turns beat on her, or tho
cold make her shiver, with scant
feed and water, and with a dog to
drive her to and from the fields, and
a man to yell at and beat her, no
wonder she becomes only a poor cow,
one to dlssapolnt her owner and to
excite only the pity of the compas
sionate.
GONE
OUT1
The poor little black and tan dogs!
How they have faded Into obscurity,
unhonored and unsung. At one time
they were largely the fashion and
great ladles fondled them and were
proud In their possession. Now tbey
havo been superseded by other varie
ties. The other day we patted one of
these pathetlo creatures on the head
and he returned our caress with
a deprecating wag of his tall, as to
say that we didn't quite know what
we were doing, but he thanked us all
the same. And yet of all the dogs
there be, there is none more intelli
gent than the black and tan.
David Lloyd George, chancellor of
the exchequer, said In Albert Hall that
a bill would be Introduced to give
women suftrag:; and, if the chance to
pass it was thrown away, it would be
entirely owing to the lunacy of some
who thought they were helping the
cause by cleaning themselves to seat?
nd breaking up meetings.
The Barbed Wire Fence.
"Tho luckiest Invention In htntarv."
said a patent official, "was that of
barbed wire. It camo about hv nnM.
dent.
"Isaac L. EllwOOd was tho InTnntnr
of barbed wire. In his youth ho lived
in ue ivaiD, ill., and having a neigh
bor whoso pigs trespassed on his gar
don, he put up one day a wire fenco
of his own make. This fence had
barbs and points on It; it was queer
and ugly, but It kept out tho pigs.
"It was a real barbed wire fenco,
the first In tho world, nnd thero was
millions of money In it, but young Ell
wood and his friends laughed at Its
freak appearance.
"One day two strangers saw this
fence, perceived how well It kept out
tho pigs, realized how cheap it waj,
realized, in a word, Its value, and or
dered several tons of It from Ellwood.
Furthermore, they contracted to sell
for a term of years all the barbed
wire he could produce.
"EIIwooq borrowed $1,000 and set
up a little factory. A few years later
on he had paid back that loan, and
was worth a small matter of $15,000,
000 besides." The Commercial.
France Fears the Tromblon.
Every traveler knows that there
are certain restrictions upon tho In
troduction of arms into foreign coun
tries. Among the weapons which it
Is forbidden to take Into France Is the
"tromblon," which Is expressly men
tioned In tho Bengal codo as a
weapon the carrying and sale of which
is not allowed. And yet tho "trom
blon" Is not a firearm which is com
monly used nowadays, for It is noth
ing else than tho blunderbuss, a
weapon which old caricatures show to
havo been carrleu by tho guards of
coaches as a protection against high
waymen and to have been hung over
his fireplace by John Bull at the
time ot the scare of a Napoleonic in
vasion 100 years ago. The blunder
buss naa a flint lock, a short barrel,
and a muzzle like a trumpet, the bell
mouth being designed to scatter the
slugs with which the primitive piece
was charged. Anyone who buys one
at an old curiosity shop had better
take care how he introduces It Into
France, for the penalty for doing so
is a fine of IjO Lanes.
Domestic Slavery In China.
A species of domestic slavery ex
ists in China to a considerable extent
Oftentimes Chinese parents, poverty
stricken, sell their girls to wealthy
families. The prices range from ten
to one hundred dollars, and If the girl
be very good looking larger amountB
may be given, as the buver known
that when she marries she will bring
in a larger number of wedding pres
ents, which oftentimes will pay the
nurchase nrice three-fold, hesldpn tho
work she has done. Of course the
Kirl s servitude ceases when she mar
rles. Theoretically there are no
slaves In Hong Kong, which is Brit
ish territory, but Dractlcallv. thnrn nn

Not Dead Yet.

William Is not dead yet, having Just
been appointed county court judge,
but it is confidently expected that the
vacant aoace will be needed sooner or
later
Swedish Engineer's Kite.
A strange kite has been devised bs
a Swedish engineer. It Is made to fly
under water. It Is made of light can
vas adjusted to a light but strong
metal frame, and In shape Is not dis
similar to tho aerial kite except that
it is made in two sections, the lower
nnd smaller one depending from the
upper, with which It Is connected by
a sort of coupling. The object sought
by the engineer Is to provide ships
with nD , ever ready automatic guard
or watch that will give Instant alarm
If the vessel enters shoal waters and
Is approaching a spot where tho depth
is not sufficient lor safety. The under
water kite is fastened to a thin wire
cable attached to a winch on deck.
The purpose of the water klto is to
float beneath or beside the ship at a
depth that Is sufficient to Insure safe
ty. If at any time, day or night, the
lower section of the kite strikes bot
tom a device instantly releases the
coupling with which It Is secured to
the upper section, and an alarm bell
Is sounded on the deck of the endan
gered vessel. Precautions can at once
be taken to secure Its safety. The
kite meanwhile Is drawn up, read
justed and thrown overboard to main
tain Its faithful watch.
Abnormal Twilights.
Twilight, which is normally due to
the refraction ot the sun's light by
the atmosphere. Is occasionally modi
fled by other natural causes. Rosy
glows In tho west after sunset are re
ported to bo particularly common In
tho vicinity of Bordeaux, Franco.
These are not tho usual sunset glows,
but appear In the sky 45 degrees
above the sun and are supposed to be1
flue to reflection from high clouds tod
thin to bo seen In ordinary light The"
same invisible clouds may also cause
abnormal prolongation of twilight, as
on tho first day of last July in this
same region, where a watch could be
easily read up tj four minutes of 10
p. m., whereas on tho following night
It could be reaa only a quarter past
nine, a dlfferenco of 41 minutes. Ow
Ing to the presence of the thin clouds
above described, these long twilight
are of use to .stronomers as an In
dlcatlon that the night will not be rav
orable for astronomical observation.
WASTE ON THE
FARM.
From authortatlve reports by gov
ernment officials it appears that some
2,687,021 cattle dlo In tho United
States annually from disease and ex
posure, most of them from neglect'
From tho same source it is also as
certained that the loss ot sheep from
the same causes Is as great
These figures only sem to show
what a wasteful people we aro. One
ot the excuses the beet trust makes
for high prices of provisions is the
enormous doath rate of live stock on
the range and on tho farm, most of
It duo to pure .trlfllngness of the herds
men and the grazer. Indeed, tho losses
for highby neglect and exposure great
ly exceed the losses by disease.
It would be impossible to estimate
the waste of farm products otter they
mature In the field, but it is enormous
somo of it traceable to thriftless
husbandry or, in plain speeches down
right laziness. One source of waBte
Is Imperfect cultivation, for millions
ot farmers persist In half cultivation,
of largo areas when they would make
more by proper tillage of fewer acres.
Then thero Is Immense waste in the
disregard of intelligent rotation ot
crops. This Is the worst sort of waste,
tor It means devastation ot soils that
require years of provident tillage to
replace. All over the East are aban
doned farms that would to-day be gar
dens If they had been given intelli
gent cultivation. That farmer Is not
fit for his vocation who does not in
crease the fertility of his soil every
year he cultivates It
THE INCORPORATION
OF TRU8T8.
In a sane argument for the Federal
Incorporation of Trusts, in the Atlan
tic, the author says this does not nec
essarily mean either a federal license
or federal regulation for Interstate
corporations; It does not mean an ex
tension of federal government, though
It may mean an exercise of the re
strictive power of the federal Con
gress. Federal government is not
necessary It the federal power can be
used to attack directly and logically
the real evil, the abused power of one
state to license an irresponsible cor
poration to do business in other states.
The simplest course is sometimes so
simple and so direct that, in our con
fusion or timidity in an Important
matter, we try to walk around It The
remedial federal law should bo a sim
ple and effective attack on the actual
abuse; It should be a self-operating
and effective prohibiting law, stating
In detail the conditions of incorpora
tion, management, and governing
laws, necessary to enable a corpora
tion to depart from the state of its
birth to engage In interstate com
merce, prescribing adequate penalties
and making void and unenforclble by
a corporation any contract made in
violation of its previsions.

Is Night Air Harmful?
Tho old theory that night air is In

SILENCED THE ROWDY.-
Happy Retort of a Politician Which
Won Him a Majority.
Judge Emory Hpeer, who presides
over the United States Circuit and
District Courts for the Southern
District of Georgia, and whoso de
cisions in peonage cases heve recent
ly attracted wide attention through
out tho country, Is the possessor of
a nimble and facile wit. In earlier
days, before ho had attained tho er
mine, Judge Speer was a politician
and a powor on the stump.
Shortly after reconstruction ho
ran against Allen D. Chandler for
Congress. It was his wit, his good
humor, and his . unfailing courago
that carried him through tho cam
paign without a serious difference,
and finally brought him to viotory.
On one occasion when tho young
candidate was addressing a very
democratic and hostile audience, a
brawny countryman was observed
fighting his way through tho crowd
to the speaker's rostrum. It was
evident that he had spent the pre
ceding night with John Barleycorn,
for his clothes were rumpled, his
hair dishevelled, and his face of a
fiery red that rivalled thfl noonday
sun in brilliancy. Shaking a bellig
erent fist under the nose of the ora
tor, he exclaimed:
"Sir, you are a demagogue!"
Tho crowd howled, but Speer war
not disturbed. He waited for the
noise to subside and then, with a
smile and in a tone of entire good
humor rejoined:
"And you, sir, If you would wrap
a few wisps of straw about you,
would be a demijohn."
The delighted audlonco roared
with appreciative laughter and the
discomfited patriot slunk away. It
Is said that in no voting precinct of
the district was Speer's majority
larger than that In which this happy
retort was made.
She Was Sympathetic.
Dora was stupid, but she had one
redeeming quality; she was sympa
thetic. At any rate, that was what
the -old boarders told the woman
who writes, and it was what she
learned for herself on tho fifth day
of her sojourn In the boarding
house. For four consecutive morn
ings Dora had seen the woman
scribbling away at a furious pace.
Finally even her dormant faculties
were impressed by such literary ac
tivity. "My," she said, admiringly, "but
you must have brains."
The woman laid down her pencil.
"Dora," she said, wearily, "I haven't
an ounce of brains."
Clearly Dora's disillusionment was
painful, but her syympathetlc na
ture sustained her.
"No?" she said. "Well, you need
not mind me. I ain't very smart
myself."
Signs on the Links.
An Irishman was walking along
a road, says the Philadelphia Publlo
Ledger, when he was suddenly
struck between the shoulders by a'
golf ball. The force of the blow
almost knocked him down. When
he recovered he observed a golfer
running toward him.
"Are you hurt?" said tho player.
"Why didn't you get out of tho
way?"
"An' why should I get out of tho
way?" said Pat. "I didn't know
there were any assassins around
here."
"But I called 'fore,' " said the
player, "and when I say 'fore,' that
Is a sign for you to get out of the
way."
Oh, It Is, Is It?" said Pat. "Well,
thin, whin I say 'foive' it's a eign
that you're going to git hit on the
nose. 'Folve.' "
Spiritual.
In making a sharp turn, the rear
end of a street car struck an express
wagon laden with Jugs of whisky.
Nearly all the Jugs were precipitated
to the pavement, with the natural
disastrous result. The driver .of the
wagon alighted, and, pointing to the
pile of demolished earthenware, said
to a bystander, "That's hell, ain't
it?"
The spectator, who happened to
be a minister, replied, "Well, my
friend, I don't know that I would
Bay that, but's at least the abode of
