the barren, queen and the next day
give them a cell. They know by
that time that they are queenless
and will be most sure to accept the
cell. Sometimes they cut the cell
out in an hour or so, but keep re-.
placing it and they will finally take
! it. Do not kill queens except in
seasons when you have plenty of
brood and drones. You may find
many strong colonies on the eve
of starvation at this season and if
you have no honey to spare from
other colonies, you may melt few
pounds of good sugar AID feed it to
them. If your hive is two story,
take out the top row of racks and
remove the comb from one of them
and lay it down over the cluster of
bees on the top bars of the bottom
racks. Raise it a little by some
narrow strips under it SO the bees
may easily get to it. Then pour
into this comb the sugar when it
cools so it will not melt the comb,
placing strips under it, and cover
it with a cloth. The bees can
then crawl up and over it and the
cloth will keep. out robbers. Never
ALLOW any bees to feed except the
colony, as it would excite robbiDg
and do more harm than good.
Now that you have examined
and see that your bees have food
and queens, you can calculate upon
the number of hives you may
need. Do not wait until swarming
time to get hives and fixtures. My
experience teaches me to use only
one size frame. Have the hives
well nailed and painted. A movea
bic comb hive must be made exact
ly right, or you had as we'll have
hollow log or goodsbox. Have
the inside TO fit but easily movable
so the comb may be handled.
Paint preserves the outside and
makes the hives ornamental TO
your yard. The superiority of
framed hives is no longer disputed.
l know of no man in Giles county
who has a surplus Of bees in stand

who cannot get cash readily for
them, especially if they are Italian.

Alfalfa Growing.

The demand for alfalfa seed is
very large, and those having it for
sale should advertise it. Nearly
ever mail brings inquiries for it.
Such seed stores as have it for sale
should inform the public of the
fact. 1t is good crop for forage,
giving three or four cuttings year,
and rejoicing in drouths. 1t sends
its long tap roots down into the
soil, till they find plenty of water to
drink. But it requires one season
to establish it. 1t starts off slow
and the weeds beat it in growth.
During the first year, one will
think he has made a mistake in
planting it; and the second year,
and for many years thereafter, he
will think he made a mistake by
not planting more oft. Land COM
paratiVely free from weeds is the
best to SOW the seed upon, or if the
weeds come SO thick as to be likely
to smother the young plants, the
weeds should be mown of. After
the first year the alfalfa will take
care Of itself, and the weeds will be
thrown into the shade.
Sorghum and alfalfa are going to be
the best forage crops for the farmer.
They will give yields that will car
ry double the stock per acre over
winter that the best timothy mead
oWs will. Those who raise stock
have no excuse for not raising
enough feed when it can be pro
duced so abundantly, so cheaply,
and so quick as it can by raising
sorghum as a forage crop Rural

System.

How few realize the amount oil
labor, time and money saved by
system. Take filing away of impor-
tant papers-if this is done system
alically in a household, how much
worry and hunting are avoided. To
many wives falls the duty of keep
ing papers-and they can by little
management and system make it a
simple task, and save all perplexity
from the husbands. Just have
strong envelopes of different sizes
such as lawyers use-label them
and keep the papers properly as
sorted on them, and the thing is
done. System is the lubrlcating
oil in household affairs, serving TO
destroy the friction, and keep the
wheels in easy running order How
it does lessen fretting, impatient
words, and help to keep away the
wrinkles. Train a child to be sys-
tematic in every thing, and you've
given u rich endowment. Train
them to think and study according
TO some system, to care for their
persons with system. Don't fear
that this will make them prema
turely old and prim; on the other
hand it will give them more leisure
Tor fun and frolic, and keep them
rom going through the world
crushed" Watch two persons do
ing similar tasks-one who has
been trained will accomplish it
while the other is getting ready 10
a reckless, disorderly way. Per
sons of system are never hurried or
Hurried. Temper keeps sweeter,
gentle words flow at all times, and
well ordered and earned leisure
gives them time to do favors, and
really makes such persons household
fairies. They are restful and calm
all troubled waters simply by their
manners of repose. Mothers should
strive to train their children TO hab-
its of system, it will be cline upon
line" but can be done, and the end
will repay all the care bestowed.

Four Good Reasons.

Here are DIR. Thomas Gutbrie's
excellent reasons for being a tota
abstainer. He says:
81 have tried both ways:
am in good spirits because l take
no spirits; I am hale because l use
no ale; l take no antidote in the
form OF drugs, because / take no
poison in the form OF drinks. Thus,
though in the first instance sought
only the public good, have found
my own also, since l became a total
abstainer. have found these four
reasons for continuing to be one;
1st, my health is stronger; 2nd, my
head is clearer; 3rd, my heart is
lighter; 4th. my purse is heavier"

The Editor and the Shoemaker.

Carson (Nev. Appeal: One day
an editor, hard at work trying to
devise plan to make delinquent
subscribers pay their dues, was
called upon by a shoemaker, who
dropped in to give the editor some
valuable hints on running q news
paper. The editor, overjoyed at
the opportunity, gave the man his
best cane bottom char, handed him
a fresh cigar, and listened atten-
lively. Quoth the shoemaker, as
he lit the weed: "Your paper
needs hundred improved features.
You deS't grasp the topics of the
day by the right handle; you don't
set the locals in the right kind of
type; your telegraph news is too
thin; even the paper itself is poor
ly manufa :tured, not thick enough
and too chalky and white. You
don't run enough matter, and what
you do run amt of the right sort. |

have him in fact"

editor, kindly, "I always had a dim

now thatshis suggestions were re

LADIES' COLUMN.
Quit That.

Quit what? Quit telling your in
nocent, cor fidirg, embling chill
dren about ghosts and hobgoblins.
You are throwing a sorrow upon
young hearts that will cling there
through life. How many mothers
there are who quiet their children
by saying, "Bug-a boos will come
and take you off'-"Come old mig
ger, come and-well, will you hush,
then, this mInute?"
The poor child always believes
all it's own mother says, and why
shouldn't it? It ought to believe
her. That is filial duty. The sob
bing, futtering heart is quiet but
not composed. Those fearful eyes
close in sleep of terror; weary.
broken rest follows; the child
dreams-but, OH who can tell the
sadness of child while it dreams
in a sleep frightened upon it by
alarms Of all that is terrible and re-
pulsive.
Such inhuman treatment endan-
gers the mind-the intellect. Moth
ers, beware! and see that no nurse
or servant or elder brother or sis
ter drive sorrows of grief to the
very soul of your child. A sor-
row early planted by grief and wa
tered by tears will bring forth a har-
vest of bitterness and despair.
How common o habit it is t. teach
children to fear unseen dangers at
nightfalll The peaceful night, SO
full OF sweetness; the night that
brings honey drops Of gentle dew
to bless the flowers and refresh the
dry leaves; the night that brings
rest to the weary, this dearest time
Of all, Is to be made terrible to
children. What wickednessl Why
il is blasphemy to make the little
ones believe that God forgets them,
and sends tOrmeDtors to trouble
them in the silent watches OF the
night.
Parents, think of this. See that
they are taught to love the ever
present Savior, and to honor His
blessed name.
How heavenly the teachings Of
that familiar hymn, when breathed
from q true mothers soul over

To the Memory Of Adam.

The New York Graphic prints an
engraved design cent by Lorenzo
Orengo, Italy, TO the citizens OF
Elmira, New York, for the statue
which they intend erecting to the
memory of Adam. According to
this design Adam didn't go to the
BARRIERS as often even as Oscar
Wilde does-indeed. Adam looks
like wild man; he is half sittiu g
on stump, and has nothing but
the fig leaf and long beard to pro
tect him from the inclemency OF
the weather. A legend at the foot
of the statue remarks, SOLELY my
sin brought death into the world. +"
This disposition on the part OF the
old man to take the whole response
bility on his own shoulder, instead
Of telling bis wife it was 'Sll your
fault" as he did at first, is doubt
less ope of the results Of the wo
mans right agitation.

The Nebraska Farmer hears tina;
Mr.. G. N. Scott OF Pawnee county
has ordered three car loads OF oil
cake and says there will be at least
as much more fed in his neighbor-
hood. Mr.. Scott has lot of sheep
and cattle and says it is cheaper to
feed oil cake at $27 90 per ton, than
corn at 80 oil 40 cents per hushel
II such is the case. then the ques
ton of winter feed is solved. Some
of the most noted stock breeders Of
Iowa have considered oil cake
cheaper TO iced at $50 per ton than
corn at 30 cents per bushel, and
have been feeding it for number OF
years with good results. Oil cake is
very rich feed and must be fed very
light at first-a good plan is to begin
by feeding a very little, say half q
pint at feed, with about one-hall
the usual feed Of corn or oats, and
gradually increase the feed OF oil
cake, at the same time diminishing
the feed or corn or oats.

Bee Culture.
IT the CITIzKN.l

For the CITIZEN.
Bee keepers should examine
their bees the first warm day. as
the next thirty days is the crit cal
time. The past warm weather has
st them to breeding and a cold
snap would cut them OIL from the
fruit blooms aud many colonies
would starve out. 1.-THE colony is
short of honey they must be fed
until they can reach the coming
crop. Some colonies will have
few pounds to spare and YOU
may swap one OF their full frames
for an empty one where needed.
BE sure to see that each colony has
a queen. You can easily find ont,
for If a queen is present you will
find brood In every stage worth
keeping. If one is found without
brood, select a frame with brood
and eggs from the best colony YOU
have and place it in the center of
the hive. In three or four DAYS
the bees will build several queen
cells over the eggs, in ten the cells
will be sealed, in six days more
they will hatch. In five or ten
days the young queen will begin To
lay and her eggs will produce
young workers in twenty lone days
Thus you see it requires sixteen
days to get a queen and thirty-oIe
days for her eggs TO hatch, so the
colony is at a stand still for forty
seven days and will die out if not |
attended to. All the honey you
give them win do no good unless
they have brood to raise q queen. /
Bees live only few days and we /
must take steps to keep up the in
crease. After Matching the bee
remains in the hive from six to ten
days before it gathers honey or
pollen. Its average life is about
ninety days. Queens live several
years. They are not prolific after
tue third season but sometimes
work well four or FIVE years. On
prolific queens is serious draw
back In this country where we do
not give our bees necessary atten-
hon. We mist watch and super
rede them as soon as thew become
barren by queen cell from anoth-
er hive, which you may find Just be
lore or after swarming. Remove
