COTTAGE HOME BEE HIVE
George Miller, of this county, is the in
ventor and patentee of a new style of
bee hive, named the "Cottage Home,"
which deserves special mention as one
of the ingenious productions of Clarke
county. The hive stands upon an up
right column and is divided into s COM
partments, with an entrance at the bot
tom of each. The compartments are
divided iuto separate comb racks, which
can be taken out and replaced at pleas
urc. To protect the bees from moths
and other destructive insects there is
arranged, just above the pedestal of the
hive, reservoir of water, wherein
stands the column which supports the
structure above. The whole is covered
with gable roof, which gives it the
appearance of cottage, hence the
name. This hive is believed to be one
of the most perfect ever invented, and
should have the attention of all who
engage in bee culture in this coun-
try. A model Of the "Cottage Home"
can he seen at the furniture store of IL,
il. GridIey, Main street, Vancouver.

MISUNDERSTANDING the i'm
mcnse grain field of j. II. Lovelace, on
Mill Plain, last Saturday, we saw the
haryesters at work. Header wagons
were running hither and thither, busy
as bees, and men and horses amidst the
dust and chatter looked tired and hot.
1t was the busiest place we have seen
in the county. Requesting on the fol-
lowing Monday, the rain was descend
ing and the scene was changed from the
dusty, arid, busy one, to the soaked
and silent field. This grain is getting
well advanced as Is also some of Mr..
Dubach's =, and dry weather for harvest
ing is greatly needed.
FARMING Observation-Disclosures
and others an search of land for farm
ing purposes are directed to tie region
of the Little Washouy sixteen miles
east Of Vancouver. Within the forks
of the Big and Little Washougals is
quite n scope of country open to settle
ment. The ncighborhood of Sunny
side is located in the lower part of this
peninsula. a great deal OF this coun-
try is devoid Of heavy timber. Exten-
sivc fires have one day run through
here and left large tracts of rolling
country in a condition comparatively
easy to subdue ready for the plough.
The surface of the country is billy, but
the clay soil, which now produces gi-
gantic fern, will produce excellent crops
when properly cultivated.

Woman, fromlher very nature, is subject to catalogue of diseases from which man is entirely exempt. Many of these maladies are induced by her own carelessness, or through ignorance of the laws of her being.

They should not be left to an inexperienced physician who does not understand their nature, and is, therefore. incompentent3 to treat them. The importance of attending to Female Diseases in their earliest stages cannot be too strongly urged. For if neglected they frequently lead to Consumption, Chronic Debility. and oftentimes to Insanity.
