THE BETTER WAY.

1t will largely depend upon the recently
entire community shall pull together for
the good of the city, or there shall DE a
pulling apart to the certain detriment of
the municipality. The defeat of one politi-
cal party at the polls the other day did not
lesson the interest of the defeated in Salt
Lake. They are here to stay quite as much
as they were before the votes were counted,
and the welfare and prosperity of
the city will be sought by them with just
as much zeal as though their candidates
for municipal offices had been elected. 1t
seems to US that the successful party and
the successful candidates, if they are really
interested in Salt Lake as they claim to be,
will do what they can to harmonic discord-
ant elements and bring all to work for what
should be the common cause.-the good of
the city.
We say it will depend largely
upon the council whether or not
there will be harmonious working. If
the council will show by wise acts that it is
really DESTROYS that Salt Lake shall be well
governed and prosperous, the People will
forget their defeat and strengthen the
hands of their victors. The People think
more of good government for the city than
they do of office holding. They will be
just as progressive as the occasion
demands; they will sanction every i'm
provement that wisdom suggests; they will
cheerfully bear their full share of any pub.

Now, will it not be better to consult
them somewhat as to what should be done
and howe viii it not be far better to have

with some degree of harmony for the city's
welfare, than to have one half of the pub

the matter falr trial FOR the last eight
years, she was of the opinion that there
is no reason why any woman of moder-
be able to take charge of an apiary OF
from thirty TO fifty colonies, with very
little assistance, and derive both pleasure
and profit from the employment; at the
same time she doubts whether there are
many who would succeed very well in
carrying on the business alone, though
of course there are few who would.
While not believing that farmer can
carry on both farming and bee keeping
successfully himself, she says: 'sBut il
he has either daughters or sons, who VIII

know Of any reason why ghis might moi

''Es-rsai vigilance is the price of sue
cess n any tprrsiness, and in noneem more
than in bee Keeping. 1t is not only labor
but a sciensao, and will make constant
demands, not only on the patience, but
on the bodily strength and intelligence OF
these who engage in it; at the same time
there is a fascination about the business
which relieves it OF all tediousness. a
woman VIII think of her bees, study
about them and become SO interested as
to be almost paid for her work by the
love of it.
In conclusion the essayist said: A
great deal of the work in the apiary is
quite as well adapted for women as fol-
men, and also in the case of the honey
and preparing it for market. Where
they most feel their deficiency is in the
lack OF skill to do the various carpenter
ing jobs that seem to be inseparably con.
nected with bee keeping.

The figure represents the blank as cut

or iron foot plow stock. The dotted line
shows the shape after the cutting edges,
w A, having been drawn out thin and
sharp and A elongated into point, P.

The heel scrape shown at Fig. in the

cation of the winged sweep, and is made
Of scrape steel, varying from two to two
and one-half inches wide and three
eighths to one-half inch thick. Pieces
are cut OFF the proper length, punched
with round hole as represented, the
forward edges sharpened, and then the

The scrape is attached underneath the
foot of the plow stock, a scooter or shovel

held by the heel bolt and nut. The scrape
performs the same work as sweep and
is more easily kept in proper shape. Like
the sweep, the cutting edge should rest
in a horizontal plane when the pillow is in

Emblem Geese.

Although the gray or Toulouse goose
may be regarded as the more popular
and probably on account of size the most
profitable, it has formidable rival in the
white or Emblem variety, which is very
fine in quality, but does not attain to the
same size.
Stephen Beale, high authority in mat
tiers pertaining to poultry, explains in
Country Gentleman that the Embden
takes it's name from the Hanoverian
town whence it was many years since
imported.
All white plumaged geese. according
to Mr.. Beale, come under the denomina-
ton of Emblem, except the Irish, which
are not SO designated. White geese
have one decided advantage over the
gray, namely-their feathers are of
much more value. AS this is an impor-
tant point, their breeding should be en-
couraged, even though they do not at

are men who thought themselves fairly
well-to-do three years ago, who would have
done better if they had given their sup
posed wealth away and gone to work at day
wages
But during all these years, when range
cattle have been selling for less than the
actual cost of raising them, the price of
meat has been maintained. At the butch
ers' stalls everywhere meat costs as much
as it did when fat steer cost three times
what he can be bought for now. 1t is a
true story now going the round of the
press, regarding the Chanute, Kansas
farmer. who sold fat steer to the local
butcher for cents pound, agreeing to
take quarter Of the beef for his own use.
The butcher charged him the regular
rates for beef, and when they settled ac-
counts the farmer owed him two dollars.
This illustrates that something is wrong,
and it is to find out where the wrong lies
and how to correct it, that the Fort Worth
convention has been called. Either the
price of beef on foot is too low or the
price in the stalls is too high. Somebody
is reaping too great profits and the cattle
man is pretty sure that it is not he

ROTTEN BOROUGH STATES.

For years Dakota was quarreling with
Congress because Of the latters refusal
to admit her to the union. The question
was made q national one and the bic ter
ritory was so persistent in her appeals and
made such an excellent showing of popu-
lation and wealth that the sympathy of the
entire country was enlisted in her behalf.
and there was general demand that she
be taken into the sisterhood of states. Bv
that time Dakota imagined she had proven
too big for one state and demanded that
she be divided into two She again came to
the front with an astonishing and conyinc-
ing array of statistics showing great pep-
ulatlon, immense wealth and remarkable
progress. By figures which nobody had
right to dispute it was demonstrated that
Dakota had sufficient population and wealth
to maintain two states, and if she couldn't
be two she didn't want to be any She also
boosted of her Republican politics, and used
that to help plead her cause. Last year the
territory was taken into the union as two
sovereign states, and the twins started out
on their career as "sole Traders so to
speak. 1t soon transpired that a mistake
had been made, that Congress and the
country had been deceived, and that one too
many states had been created. In little
while mumblings of poverty were heard

The plan here presented is advised BY
American Agricuiturist: Lay boards
from the ice up the hank to the top 81
an old packing box placed there. This
box should be- two feet higher than the
bed of the wagon or sled in which the
ice is to be hauled. The boards viii
soon become icy and the ice can easily
be pulled or pushed along them to the
box, and from it to the wagon or sled.
The colder the weather the better fol
cutting ice. 1t is always easier to slide
ice than to lift and wheel it. The prime
point of putting the ice in the house is
to fit the cakes closely together. The
less air confined among the cakes the
better the ice will keep. Make the crew
ices small and fill them with powdered
