Safeguard for Travellers.

\ passenger was killed on the Boston
and Maine railroad a fortnight since
by getting off passenger train at
station OH the 'olf side" and being
struck by slowly moving empty en-
CINE on the adjoining main track. The
passenger alightcd before the train
stopped, and there was lack of judg-
mcnt in signaling the empty engine,
but the state board of railroad commits
sioncrs, who investigated the case, lay
chief stress on the matter of gates. 1t
appears that all the cars on the train
were equipped with platform gates,
and that the commissioners have in
past years recommended the roads of
the state to use such safeguard, but
they were rot closed in this instance,
and tho superintendent testified that
passengers objected to them and threat
ened to jump over if they were used.
The commissioners very justly re-
iterate their accommodation and APP
ply it specifically to "all divisions OF
the Boston and Maine road" 1t is true
that passengers will "kick," and that
with the ordinary car platform it is
not easy to make perfect barrier, but
a well designated gate, such as may be
seen on the Boston and Albany and
the New York and New England, is
valuable means of warning passengers
that there are bounds beyond which
they can go only at their peril.
1t is one of the wonders of modern
civilization that so many hundreds of
passenger trains daily discharge their
passengers at stations where freight
trains pass within four feet of unpro-
tected Steps, and at speeds from fifteen
to thirty miles an hour or faster with
out killing more passengers than they
do. The American traveller who does
not have his wits about him is very
infrequent fellow, comparatively, but
he needs to be looked out for neverthe-
less.-Railroad Gazette.

What Others Saw

Ohio Farmer declares that i. is waste
of cash product to feed calf whole
milk after its rennet stomach changes so
as to call for solid food, and it is 4 mis-
take to so feed it after it is 10 days old.
1t considers warm skinned milk and q
little oatmeal much better.
G. Dudley, Of Kentucky, says: The
value of lime in the poultry yard cannot
be overestimated; experience teaches
that there is nothing more effective as an
insect destroyer than 4 thick coating of
whitewash made of fresh lime and an in
fusion of crude carbolic acid. Cleanse
the house thoroughly before applying,
and cover every accessible portion of the
woodwork, especially the perches and
the stills on which they rest Agenerous
fumigation of sulphur and tobacco is also
advantageous.
An old farmer asserts that manure
made in the winter should be spread as
it is made on the land where it is to be
used. 1t is fact abundantly proved by
practice that manure is never worth
more than it is the day it is made. Moth
ing is added to it, but usually much is
lost from it by lapse of time. Except on
steeply sloping ground, tho manure is
safe from all danger Of loss, and is put
where it will do the most good when it is
spread on the land direct from the stable.

EXTRACTED HONEY,
Bee Keeping RevoIutionized by tho Nov
able Comb Hive and Extractor.


able Comb Hive and Extractor.
Ina prize essay written by w. T. F.
Petty for The American Bee Journal oc-
ours the following statement concerning
extracted honey which can hardly fail
to be Of interest to apiarists.
Extracted honey is honey in its purcst
condition, exactly as gathered and rip
ened by the bees, without the admixture
of any foreign matter. In this latter
particular it differs from the strained
honey of few years ago, which was OBJ
tanned by crushing the combs. BY means
of tho movable comb hive and the ex-
tractor bee keeping has been revolution
lied. The application of these inven-
tions to the production of extracted
honey, though differing in some minor
details with different apiarists, is about
as follows:
The bees are obliged to build their
combs in movable frames, which may be
removed from the hive without injury
to combs or bees. These combs, when
filled with honey and scaled over by the
bees, are taken from the hive, the adhcr-
ing bees brushed off and the combs taken
to tho extracting room. For this room
the necessary appliances arc an extractor,
an uncapping knife, uncapping table, can
for pouring the newly extracted honey
into, and, lastly, the reccptacles inwhich
it is to be placed upon the market.
The frame Of comb to be extracted is
taken by the operator, the upper end be-
ing held by his left hand, while the lower
end rests ON the uncapping table; with
theuncapping knife in his right hand, he
begins at the lower end of the comb and
cuts off the cappings of the scaled cells,
leaving the honey exposed. The cap
pings thus cute off drop into sieve, which
is beneath the center of the uncapping
table The top of this table should be
covered with tin and made to drain into
the sieve, under which is 4 vessel for
catching the drippings. The comb, be-
ing uncapped on both sides, is placed into
the extractor, which is machine for
separating the honey from the comb by
means OF centrifugal 1orce. This lorco
and its mode of action are best illustrated
by taking the familiar case of the grind
stone.
The honey extractor is 50 constructed
that the force, which causes the drops
of water TO fly from tho stone-in the
case of the grindstonc-causes the liquid
honey, in tho case OF the extractor, to
to be thrown from the cells of the combs.
As commonly made, the extractor is
large can in which is 4 revolving
basket, or frame, made of coarse wire
cloth, tho axis of revolution being YER
teal. This axis is so gearcd with cog
wheels that for each revolution Of n
crank, turned by the hand, the basket
will make about five revolutions.
