Mexico is usually eight, four in the swing and
two in the lead and wheel each. On our trip
We changed every two hours. thus using 90
mules during the day. They we're active
sturdy little fellows, too; as indeed they had TO
be to make such time over the rocks and wash
outs and hills we met with en- route.
PRINCES OF THE ROAD.
The Mexican driver is a good one and is a
prince Of princes ON the road. He cracks jokes
on the passers-by. mods to the better class OF
these, and passes the poems by with no notice
at all, save perhaps playful crack at them
with his lash. This they never resent Is 1t
not the swift-traveling dIligencia and is he not
the great cochero who gets dollar the day?
With each coach travel two mozos or hired
men One of these sits on the drivers left and
1t is his duty to touch up with his lash any
tagging mule, the driver combining himself
principally to the wheelers. The other mozs
half the TINA runs on foot beside the coach.
IL is his role to straighten out traces and har-
ness, block the wheels where stops are made on
steep inclInes, &C.. &c. The driver does moth
ing but look out for the road. When the stage
reaches a town for the night he jumps off the
box, leans up against the wheel, rolls cigarette
and calmly watches the mozos unhitch his
team.

Monkeys Raiding a Corn-FieId.

When they get ready to start on
their expedition an old monkey. the
leader of the tribe. with a staff in his
hand. so as to stand upright more
easily, marches ahead on two legs,
thus being more elevated than the
others, so as to see signs OF danger
more readily. The rest follow him on
all fours. The leader advances slowly
and cautiously. carefully reconnoiter-
ing in all directions. till the party ar
rives at the corn-feld He then assigns
the sentinels to their respective posts.
All being now in readiness the rest Of
the tribe ravage and eat to their
hearts content When they retire
each one carries two or three ears Of
corn along. and from this provision
the sentinels are RECALLED on their ar
rival at their lair. Here We see ability
to rule and willingness to submit to
rule; . thoughtful preparation Of
means to the end In view and a recog-
milton of the rights Of the sentinels to
be suitably rewarded at the close Of
the expedition. Wherein does all this
differ from q similar foray of a tribe
of savage men? The only difference
that really exists Is in degree; other
wise it is much the same-Popular

ARTIFICIAL SWARMING.
How to Avoid the Difficulties and Enjoy
tho Profit.

How to Avoid the Difficulties and Enjoy
tho Profit
To practice artificial swarming the
best and most successful method is to
remove from a hive containing q
strong swarm the frame on which the
queen is found and place it, bees and
all. in an empty hive. Then move the
frames up together in the old hive SO
as to leave the vacancy at the side
next the board of the hive. and in it an
empty frame. or one filed with comb
or foundation. Carry this hive to a
new place forty or fifty feet away. and
place the new hive on the old stand.
Now fill this hive with frames (if sup
piled with comb or foundation SO much
the better). and the bees which have
been accustomed to go to the old stand
will do so still. and. finding the queen
there, will be content, and build up q
new swarm. The swarm from which
the queen has been taken will be so
weak from the desertion of its force Of
workers, and from the fact that it has
so little empty space. and what it has
is at the extreme outside of the hive.
that it very rarely if ever will build
any drone combs, but will build queen
cells. and raise queen or queens. II
will very rarely swarm when the
queens mature. Swarms made in this
way seem to do as well as natural ones.

Kew It II Affected By - KlaA e FoeA
tiivcn to Cows.
Some recent Investigations made by
the chemist of the Agricultural De.
partment at Washington 20 to show
that butter from COWS that have been
fed upon cottonseed meal partake
very much of the character of the
oil OF this seed This fact is in direct
support and confederation of state
ment frequently made in these col
umus. and derived from the highest
physiological authorities, to the effect
that the fats in the food of animals
(of all kin as) are absorbed into the
circulation without digestion or change
oy the action Of the digestive fluids
The conclusion. which can not be es-
capped. must therefore be that the food
OF q cow does affect the character OF
the milk. and consequently food rich
In lat must cause an increased prod
uot OF fat in the butter. This, how
over. has been denied by some of the
chemists Of the experiment stations,
although observant dairymen know the
truth Of it from their common practice.
This fact has some important bear
ing upon the dairy business. The use
OF cotton-seed meal tends to harden
the butter and render it easier to be
worked in the summer. This has been
pointed out by Mr.. Henry Stewart in
his "Dairyman' Manual" This food
also gives a desirable flavor to the
butter made from it. and it consider
ably increases the product as shown
by tests made by Mr.. Stewart in his
dairy during three years. consecutive
feeding. But at the same time this
food has some objections; the seed be-
ing highly MISUNDERSTANDING
over forty per cent. OF albuminoids-
can not be fed largely without injuri-
Gus OBJECT upon the urinary organs and
the milk glands; and further, as now
shown by the Agricultural Depart
ment, the butter made from it has
some qualities which renders it liable
to suspicion Cf adulteration with tho
cotton-seed oil. and which might
bring the makers Of the butter into
dangerous conflict with the oleo-
margarine legislation.
What more conclusive fact can DO
furnished by scientific tests than this
last ons mentioned. viz, that the quail
ity of the butter is affected by the kind
of foods used? 1t can not be claimed
that the digestive organs of an animal
can take a variety of foods. differing
in quality and character, and reduce
them all to a consistent product, al
ways alike and never varying. Then
it follows that dairymen should be
very careful in regard to the procur-
ing of legislation affecting their busi-
ness, lest they might be injuring them
selves by means of restrictions they
desire to put upon others. For in
stance. desiring to make the largest
product of butter from their COWS, they
use foods rich in. oil, and the butter
then happens to be very similar in
character to that artificial product
made by mixing the very same kind Of
oil with the cream in the churn, then
in what position would they stand in
regard to alleged artificiality of their
butter or the adulteration OF i'm.
