Bottled Bundle Bees.

No man can tell when boy of nine
or ten years is going to break out in
new spot. A Cass farm lad, who has
been noted for his quiet demeanor and
steady ways, all at once took notion to
with a wide mouthed bottle and tramped
over lots and fields and entrapped many
o luckless singer. After securing them
he had no further pleasure except to see
them crawl up and down the sides of the
bottle and whack their stingers into each
other. He was out early one morning,
gathering in the bees while they were
benumbed, and when he entered the
house for breakfast he had about thirty
great overgrown, wicked looking bum
BILE bees. They were packed into the
bottle, heads and tails and other ways,
and the father, catching sight of them,
spoke up:
"See here, boy, 1 don't want any
more of this fooling around after bees.
After breakfast you heave that bottle
out doors, and don't bring another bee
around this house."
The boy placed the bottle behind the
dining room stove. There was a gentle
fire, and the bottle had no cork. The
family had got through with the first
cup of coffee, when they heard some
thing going
Jing-ring-ding -ong-long- -rong
g-g-g"
The fire warmed the bees up, and
they left the Eottle to warm the family
up. Tt was business affair, and the
bees went in to do their best. The boy
slid out at the first alarm, but the old
! folks fourished their nakpins until slid
ing out would have done no good. The
old gent got a sting on his ear and an
other on his head at the same second,
while the Old lady was punctured in the
shoulder and yelled "Murder /" with all
her might.
Z" Maul-maul EN- r. shouted the old
gent, waving the butter dish around
and getting another needle into his
neck.
"Police Police !" squealed the old
| lady, diving under the table as a big
bee settled on the lobe of her ear.
1t was very even fight for while,
but then the man got down cellar and
the woman flew for bedroom, the ones
deep bass voice shouting: "Gimme
the camphor, Betsey!' and the other
squeaking out: eff you love me &c
for doctor!'
No one knows what became of the
boy. He is reported as missing. Seated
under the swaying head of some stunted
thorn tree on the commons, he looks
longingly toward home, but he realizes
that his reception will be red-hot.-

Wastes on the Farm.

The greatest of wastes on the farm,
says the Scientific Farmer, is in the not
using of our brains; the greatest be-
cause at the bottom of all other wastes.
A little thinking often saves much labor.
After accom- lishing almost any piece of
work, the most of us can look back and
see how we could have improved on it,
if we had but thought. AS we review
our crops of this year, we see how they
could have been easily increased, had we
only thought. The ditch we dug
through our meadow was not done in the
most economical way. We dug too
deeply at first, and did not allow for the
settling of the land. Hence a waste of
labor. We omitted buying an nipple
ment that would have saved nearly all
its cost in this one years use, until we
had spent much in trying to accomplish
our work without it. Here was another
waste. We carry water pipe too near
the surface, to save the expense of dig
cling trench of safe depth, and the
winters frosts necessitate a replacement
of the pipe and an additional digging.
Certainly, a waste here. We allowed the
WOCup w tolOW vi OhO plOCO VI 1nhNs uOU
thinking to what proportions they would
grow by the time the crops were too far
advanced to admit the hoe. A waste
here which might have been obviated.
And SO on, wastes, little and big every
where, all arising from not thinking
sufficiently-waste, because not neces-
sary and easily obviated. We omit the
ordinary wastes from neglect, from lazi
ness, from want of appreciation of
cleanliness and thoroughness-the wastes
from our stock, from our manure heap,
from our household. Verify, little
thought will save to the farmer much,
and the saving through this means, even
on small farm, will represent the inter-
est on a considerable capital. The
wastes arising from ignorance can very
readily be diminished, and are in a large
part inexcusable; those arising from
carelessness are not deserving of SYM
pathy. The farmer, as we'll as the busi-
ness man, must use business principles
to secure the largest success, and the
one should be as careful of the outgoes
| as the other.

THE CHICAGO LEDGER is said to have
spent 50,CC0 in advertising the past two
years, and by the looks of the newspa-
pers throughout the United States, we
should say it would take as much to go
round this year. And to cap the climax
the proprietors have announced their
paper at $1.0O year. How it is done is a
mystery, unless they have more than ga
barrel of money" to give away. We be-
iieve, however, is is the theory of the
publishers that all they ask of the reader
is topay for the white paper and postage;
for their labor, when the paper reaches
100000 or more circulation, their adver-
Using will pay the profit. While they
are building up the paper they do not
solicit advertising, and hence the read
ers get great paper for $1.00 that is
worth $500. AS the publishers have
the money, no doubt they will succeed.

closing $1.00 for subscription and fifteen

Mineral Wool.

The mineral wool seen at the Centen-
NAL Exhibition is made at the Krupp
works, Essen, Prussia. The pig iron
furnace is provided with a tap an inch
in diameter, out of which a continual
stream of Stag is allowed to flow and fall
a distance Of two feet six inches, at
which point the falling stream of Stag is
met by a strong blast of cold air, the
effect of which is to separate the Stag
into myriads of hair-like threads, as
white as snow, resembling the finest
wool. These fibers, like spun glass, il
handled, will penetrate the skin. The
mineral wool is used for packing steam
pipes, boilers, ETC., and is a valuable
product.
