WHY DO REES SMARN}

Why do bees swarm3 is a very simple
question to answer. In the first place,
they are built on that plan, and, next,
when the honey-fow is good, they COM
mence to rear queens, and a few days be-
fore a queen is ready to ''break her shell'
and come ont, size makes a piping noise,
resembling the peeping Of a young chick.
The old queen makes for the young
~queen-cell, and viii destroy the queen if
the ''bee-guards' do not prevent her.
But, if they prevent it, the old queen
kicks up a muss in the hive, and the
workers catch the excitement and begin
to ill up with honey-not 'brood food''
the old queen leaves, and the filed
bees follow.
To prevent swarming, persons who use
the frame-hive can do SO by raising out
the frames and finding the queen-cells.
Gut them out, and there will be no
swarming, if they are kept cut out.
This is the only preventive. I've kept
bees eighteen years, and can control the
swarming every time.-Pra5rie Farmer.

TIE ROPE CURE FOR K1cKERs.

During the last thirty-fye years a
neighbor has cured oYer twenty horses of
the kicking habit, without failing in any
case attempted. Following is bis method:
Take q half-inch rope that has been
stretched until it cannot stretch any
more, tie it around the horse six inches
back Of the pad and bellyband Of the
harness; insert q short stick and twist it
up nearly as tight as the rope will bear
without breaking, and tie the stick SO
that it will stay. Fasten the horse in a
stall where there is room behind him to
WELD a long lash whip, then strike him
around the hind legs quite severely; at
the second or third blow he will generally
kick with both feet with all his might,
but only for two or three times. If he
has been in the habit Of kicking in har-
ness, drive him with the rope On two
weeks, Or until he quits making any
threats. Some will kick once or twice
with one foot, and bob up and threaten.
for several days. They should be tickled
or leased, or have a basket or pail thrown
under them or tied to q hind foot several.
times a day to make them try to kick,
and until they cease to make any effort
in that direction. The remedy is then
cffectual. After driving the animal half
an hour the rope should be frightened.
This will also cure bucking horses or any
which try to throw their rider.-New

Jauanese Windows.

japanese rooms are lighted, not by
glass windows, but by a kind Of wooden
gratings, over which o white paper is
pasted on the outside. This paper
diffuses the sunlight about the room
very pleasantly, but it is not proof against
rain; in rainy weather, therefore, the
shutters have to be put up which are used
to close the veranda and house in tbs
night time, and which are the only doors
in q japanese house that is thought
necessary to furnish with a bolt. As the
putting up and taking down Of these
shutters is a matter demanding some
time, it is usual to have a small door
made in them, which is called "the
earthquake door," to provide means of
quick escape in case of emergency

TIE MOUTH OF TIE HORSE,

Be careful Of the horses mouth. Men
who jerk the reins because they are too
mad to be sensible and humane, should
have a bit placed in their own mouths
and have it jerked by some brutal fellow
who would enjoy giving pain. In break
ing colts be very careful about the mouth;
and never bit an animal that has a sors
mouth while it continues SO. The mouth
Of the horse should be more frequently
examined than it usually is. Sometimes
there is inflammation that needs attention,
ard o~ccasionaIlyit may even be necessary
to draw a tooth. It is by &c means I'M
common that the poor condition Of q
horse can be traced to some ailment of
the mouth which prevents the proper
nastication of the food. 1t is not much
trouble to open tbe mouth and look into
it, and it will often prevent trouble

MOuLTING,

Some Of the young hens have already
shed feathers and the process will go on

passes over easily and quickly, while with
others it is slow and irregular. Nature
never intended that it should be pro-
tracted and injurious to their future use
fulness. We know it is a severe drain on
the fowls, still if they are healthy and get
plenty of nutritious food of the proper
quality for feather making, and are kept
away from chilly rains, there is no dan
ger.
During moulting the best hens usually
decline to lay eggs, and they lose their
viVacity. When they moult early, there
is a probability that they viii begin to
lay early in %@inteE; for this reason alone
young hens are preferred as the main
stock; they will lay more eggs, and their
flesh is fit for the table when needed. A
few old hens for sitting may be advisable,
but the one who says that old hens are to
be preferred to young ones, must have a
warped and senseless Judgment.
It is q good plan to separate the males
from the females during moulting; there

GRANGE OR pASTIRE.


It is a too common practice for land
devoted to the pasture to be given to
the3 stock in a body, over which they
have continuous and unrestricted range.
That this is not good policy is apparent.
The whole pasture surface is kept con-
stantly fouled and tread down. No DOR
ton of it is allowed to freshen up during
the grazing season. Actual test has
proven that two tive-acre pastures, fed
alternately, are worth much more than
ten-acre field fed continuously. The
grass roots have a much better chance to
in the former, especially in the dry time.
They are not then constantly trampled,
and the protecting growth above fed
down. One-half the pasture is allowed
an uninterrupted growth of several days
while the other is being fed. This in
turn will offer fresh feed while the first
is getting a rest, and SO, alternately
through the growing season.
The expense of thus separating the
pasture into parts is slight indeed com
pared with the benefits realized. It is
supposed THAT the pasture is already sur
rounded with fence. All that is required
to make the division is to run a fence
across the pasture. This fence may u.s.
ually be of a rather light, temporary
character, as there is nothing on either
tide to tempt stock to make a bre4eh, and
10 great damage to be done If they do.
fovable panels may be staked in place.
IT three wires strung to form the divis-
on. The cost of this improvement in a
=en-acre pasture would not be over eight
iollars or ten dollars, while the gain in a
.ngle seasoh viii treble this amount

The liking for celery is an acquired
one, like shat for tomatoes. But no plant
grown is more healthful, and it should
be more generally on farmers tables dur

deal to buy celery, as it requires extra
rich ground and a good deal Of labor to
grow it tit for market. When the con-
ditions are right the market gardener
finds celery 4 Of the most reliable and

generally grew celery, what they did not
need for their own use could be most
