EXTRACTED OR COME HONEY.

The greatest yield of honey can bc OBJ
tanned by extracting, rs it can hc cX-
tracted from the combs without awaiting
their sealing up. 1t seems to take the
bees about rs long to seal over the combs
as to fill them with honey. We can,
therefore, get double the number of
pounds of extracted honey that we can
of comb. Beside keeping the combs
emptied Of their contents, there is the
additional advantage of Keeping the bees
working right along filling the combs.
Bees thus treated are not SO liable to
swarm, as they have ut gil TING; timCs album
true We may-givc- them large surplus
room, but when this is filled with comb
honey it is not completed. Several days
are necessary 70 rpcn ihc money and seal
the cells. With limited storage. they
make preparations to swarm, and then
plentiful storage room will not prcvcntit.
OF the two methods of producing honey,
comb and extracted, the latter does not
require more than balf the labor 1t has
been said that extracted honey docs not
bring as high a price. Eat in the ma
jority of cases the ariarirt is making
more money from extracted honey, be
cause he is producing three or more
pounds to one. True, there are few
specialists who make the raising nf comb
honey study, and those probably rc-
ceive the greatest profits. But tn" masses
find much difficulty in producing comb
honey, when they can easily produce
large crops of extracted. To succeed
properly in raising profitable crops of
honey requires the greatest ski and study
of anything connected with the apiary.
1t is beginning at the wrong end 10 raise
comb honey first, instead of the more
simple and easy method of using the cX-
tractor.-Americdn Agricutria.

HOW TO MAKE A GOOD WALK.

Farmers, as rule, do not spend enough
time in making and improving walks in
front of and around their homes \ good
walk in the winter time is necessity for
comfort One does not like to step out
of doors into several inches of mud, nor
is it much more satisfactory To have
boards slipping and sliding from under
your feet. Asphalt walks are SD cheap
that most farmers can afford to have one
running around the house and leading to
the principal out buildings To make u
sound walk, cheap to make and maintain
and alike in all weather, select stone OF
flinty nature aud burn it before putting
it on the walk. This can be easily done
with charcoal. After the stones are
burnt sift them into two sizes, one for
the foundation of the walk and the other
for the top. Then mix the stones with
boiling coal tar. The foundation of the
walk should be prepared beforehand and
made perfectly solid and not liable to sink
The larger stone, mixed with the tar.
should be laid on first to depth of about
two inches. Then roll thoroughly, going
over all of it several times. Then lay on
the finer coating about an inch in thick
ness. Sprinkle the surface over with
coarse grit. crushed shell or spar. and
roll once more. To prevent the sides
from crumbling cagings of wood, tile or
bricks should be made. One should not
forget to burn the stones before mixing
them with the tar, as this is one of the
most important features of a good, solid
walk. The only work to maintain the
walk then is annually to brush hot tar
over the surface, sprinkle on it some grit
and roll it as before. No kind Of walk
will last longer or prove more satisfactory
for a country home than such one de
scribcd. Weeds will have no chance to
grow up in it Washington StW.

All stainless as the morning light.
Chorus:
Eee where It floats our signal lighti
Our cloud by day, our fire by night,

Fearless we press our onward way,
And hopeful hail the coming day.
What though the world may call defeat,
Our music never beats retreat;
And when we fall we face the foe,
And leap to victory even so.
For right is might, and right ut last
Shall sound on high her trumpet blast:
And DER the conquered field shall tread,
When every human wrong is dead.

While pledged beneathits folds we stand

The Russian Cavalry.

The material of the Russian cavalry
relatively to that OF the German army still
leaves much 10 be desired, SAWS n writer
in the WiHpiwhcS UocACnjlHf. Though.
according to census returns, the number
Of horses actually existing in the country
reaches thc imposing total of 20, 600 900,
yet ciGnty-''iN per cent. Of these arc under
sized village ponies unsuitcd for military
purposes; and OF thr remaining 4 900 900, ,
which are for the most part reared in
breeding establishments, 3964 Of which
exist scattered about the empire, many
in the Stcppr, only eighteen per cent.
breed riding horses, the remainder only
drau.cht animals These stud -hrcaS hardly
suffice to meet the requirements of the
officers and Of the guard regiments. and
tn" lHt"r are being compelled more and
more 10 have recourse to the horses CCm-
ing from the south, to So.callcd elm
pruvcd' country -brcls, which also sup
ply the needs Of the line cavalry almost
entirely. These animals possess consid-
crablc endurance, but are not well shapcd
for cavalry purposes, and owing to their
badly sci ON heads and ncCks, the narrow
ness between the check bones, and their
deficient quarters, it is difficult to teach
them proper galop; and these defects
are even more conspicuous in the Cossack
horse, which is yearly dctcriorating.
Nevertheless, and in spite of the unprom-
isin@ nature of the material, the attempt
is made to attain the same proficiency in
the old-fashiomcd manc@c traditions as
was formerly achieved with better stock
and longer service.

PACKING BUTTER FOR WINTER.

IN R%nE sTn SSsfsF s nothing tSF miHAfT Better
than large, N-glazcd crooks, with
covers close fitting, and glazed inside us
we'll rs outside. Glazing on the inside
of the covers is often neglected, and
when it is, the porous carthcn, which is
powerful absorbent, soon becomes
loaded with foul matter that gives off
bad odors and spoils whatever the crock
may Contain. The packing should be
solid and the butter reach to one inch of
the top of the crock, and the butter COW
cred with the bleachcd muslin free from
any starch or sizing. The jar should
then be filled with all the salt it will
hold and snugly pressed down. Then
turn on little pure water, just enough
to rise to one-half the depth Of the salt
and no higher. Brine on the butter
with dry salt on top makes better pro-
lection than all brine or all dry salt.
Then cover as closely rs possible and
SEE m cool, dry ceIfar-not on tho
ground, but UP little from the
ground-and if the butter is all right
when it is packed it may reasonably be
expected to be sound next winter. In :,
larger way 1O0-pound white oak firkins,
after being thoroughly cleaned of sap
and all liability to imparting woody
flavor by soaking in boiling water, may
be used in the same way US crooks. -

or tcnon in crosswise, one piece at each
the runners, and place the others so as to
support floor in one-half of the pen.
Adjust these strips so they will set about
two inches below the level of the upper
edge of the runners, then lay floor of
ash or oak lumber one inch thick over
onc-half of the pen, leaving the other
half dirt floor. This, however, may be
arranged as may suit best; onc-half may
be left, or, if desirable, the whole pen
may have a floor. Now mortise in two
by-four scantling at each corner and mid
way for posts on which to nail the boards
or Stats for the enclosing. It is necessary
for comfort that at least one half of the
pen be covered; and for this reason make
the posts for the siding about one foot
longer on one side than the other, so as
to give some slope to the roof. The roof
ought to be elevated enough to allow u
man to walk under it. If only one-half
of the pen is floorcd, there must bc u
partition across, and in this arrange a
slide door SD as to shut the hogs i'm or
out of either section, and the pen is
complete.
If hogs are wanted to fattcn surely
and quickly, they must be confined to
close, clean quarters, and that is the de-
sign of this pen. 1t can be moved easily
from one place to another, and thus he
entirely free from accumulations of filth.
BY hitching n span of horses to the end
of it, it can be readily moved anywhere
with the hogs in it, In case onc-half is
