An Odd Nest.

In the town OF Monongahela, which
is in the State of Pennsylvania,
there lives a man named Mr.. Joseph
Ii. Heron. Some time ago MIR
Heron bought one of those pen
handles called the telescope, or
hollow handle. The handle was
made Of tin, and little girl could
put her little finger in the hollow so
big around was it. But Mr.. Her.
ron never used that pen eXcep,
when be would write with red ink,
and that was not more than once a
week. The other day when he
pi :ked it up to use out flew a wasp
like insect, know as the yellow
jacket. This insect is smaller that
the bee, and has yellow stripes all
over its body-a very fashionable
dress among insects, no doubt.
Mr.. Heron put the pen down and
watched. By-andby back came
Mr.. Yellow Jacket, and, look
ing around to see that everything
was right, crawled into the hollow.
After watching for long while,
Mr.. Heron saw that Mr.. Yellow
Jacket and his wife had built their
nest inside the penholder and were
raising a family of little yellow
jackets, too. Mr.. Y.'J. would fly
out and soon return with o grain of
sugar or some such food, and Mrs.
Y. j. would almost always meet him
at the door. Mr.. Heron took up
the pen and wrote with it, and the
scratch, scratch did not suit the
family, but when he laid it aside
again they busted themselves with
the little Y. is. as usual.

The Locomotive Hawk.

1t is very queer, but it seems that
there are rogues and rascals among
animals, fish and birds just as there
are among men. One of the worst
rascals among birds is the hawk.
There lives a cunning old hawk
along a railroad between the sta
tions of Mesgviny and Romily
in France. He has lived on the
railroad for fifteen years and he has
reason for not moving to some 9th
err part OF the country. One of the
engineers on that road says that he
will fly along with the train, going
fast when the train is fast and slow
when the train slackens It's speed.
He knows that all the little birds
fly up from the hedges and bushes
by the side Of the track when the
trains pass, and so he can easily
pounce down on them. If it were
not for the train the old pirate
would have to go searching through
the woods and fields for his prey,
because birds know that they must
hide from him and that they can do
it in every other place except along
the railroad. In fact, they might
see him there, but he keeps him
self hidden in the smoke and steam
made by the locomotive. 1t is a
pity that the trains are not able to
run away from the hawk, but he
can fly all around them, however
fast they may be running.

Bee Notes.


In most locations bees will be
placed upon their summer stands
during the present month. At this
season of the year great care should
be taken to give the bees every ad-
vantage and encouragement to in
crease in numbers. After they
have had an opportunity to fly free
ly, the hives should be examined
and thoroughly cleaned. A good
way to do this is to staff with a
clean, empty hive, and place it upon
the stand of the first hive to be ex-
amined, having the one containing
the bees directly in the rear, lift
the combs from the old hive and
place them in the new one. After
cleaning the hive from which the
bees have been taken, pass to the
next and transfer from that into
the first hive, and so through the
yard. When handling the hives be
sure that each colony has laying
queen and plenty OF honey. Let
there be only sufficient number of
combs for the bees to occupy
Carefully open the hives in the
morning, when the bees are COM
pactly clustered, and remove combs
not occupied by the bees. This
will allow those inexperienced to
decide the proper number OF combs
to leave. The combs that are thus
removed from the hives should be
cared for, and kept in a dry place
where mice or rats will not have
access to them. If any colonies
should be found queenless, unite
such with the ligttess stocks that
have good queens. After the bees
have had an opportunity to fly for
a day or two, the presence of a
queen may usually be ascertained
by the presen nee of eggs in the
combs of the cluster. When the
number Of frames is limited, have
good, close-itting division board at
the side of the combs to diminish
the space which the bees must keep
warm. Contract the entrance to
the hives, and be sure that all up
ward ventilation is prevented. All
this should be done in the middle
of the day when it was warm. Care
must be taken not to expose combs,
or in any other manner to induce
robbing. After bees are put in
proper shape do not make the mis-
Jake of opening the hive too often
until the season is sufficiently adj
Vanced. Handling bees too early.
to stimulate breeding, often results
greatly to their injury. AS the sea-
son grows warmer, and the bees in
crease in numbers, combs may be

A Shower of Sheep.

The train came in and brought
among the load of human freight a
'sheep man." as wool growers are
called. He entertained everybody
within range of his voice with how
it showed sheep in his neighbor-
hood last Friday, and "riz tarnal
blazes with everything" He spoke
about as follows: "Well, 1 was

Many thousand minutes ago in
the time of the good Caliph Abou
Ben Stokely, who reigned over the
metropolis of Manayunk, there
lived doll, very proud and scorn
full. One day the doll said to a
meek and lowly caramel; who'd
be an old cream car amel, I'd like to
know, l would?" The poor cara
mel was offended, and, saying "T'm
sweet, anyhow, and besides, one of
your eyes won't squint cause it's
out o ..order," went off to itself and
wept. just then the bad brother
of the dolls mistress came along,
and seeing the state of affairs, said,
Poor dear caramel, if the doll
won't love you l will" slipped the
caramel into his mouth. After the
aud brother had gone the dolls
mistress came in. who's got my
caramel?' said she, and, falling
into a mad pet. seized the doll and
threw it out at the window in the
gutter below.

co-oreration Among Farmers.

1t certainly looks now as though
the time is approaching when farm.
ers will learn and adopt better
methods for disposing of their pro.
ducts than has been their habits in
years past. Instead of depending
upon others to do their business,
they are beginning to consider the
propriety and economy of doing il
themselves. The farmers of Med
way, Franklin and Holliston are
taking measures for organizing q
stock company for canning all
fruits and vegetables. The can
ming business has been carried on
in the vicinity with fair success for
several years, but the farmers, feel
ing that there is room for increas-
ing and extending the market for
canned goods far beyond its pres
ent limits, have recently held sever
al meetings for the purpose of COM
bining their capital and energy in
this direction. A capital of $4,000,
it is thought, will be sufficient to
give the business fair start, and
it IS hoped there will be no Difficult
ty in raising that amount within a
short time.
We have seen many farmers ruin
ed by taking stock in manufactur-
ing companies, simply because they
undertook to carry on business of
which they were too ignorant, or
because they placed their money in
the hands of men whose interests
were not their interests; but manu-
featuring wooden or cotton goods is
quite different thing from putting
ones own crops in a little better
shape for market, as will be the
case in the business of canning
fruits and vegetables.
We need establishments for can
ming and drying fruits and other
farming products, to give employ
ment TO the farmers boys of New
England who have been taught to
think there is no room for them at
home. A canning factory will nat
urally call for sales room in the
city, and possibly when that is es
in the interest of the pro-
