\ curious phase OF prison life is exhibited

man is confined in prison for a few days for
some slight o!fense At times even an
elder Of a small community must submit
to such a penalty for what the Russian
law calls a neglect of duty Such person
is retained in large room together with a
lot Of obdurate criminals, who are either
awaiting trial or sentenced to be put at hard

This is what they call setting a cup. SIX

for several days. In some instances more
serious injuries are caused by the blows he

and some other stetes. has also attacked
TO some extent the oat fields Professor
Lintner, the New York state entomolo-

destruction by this pest beyond fostering
its parasites. There are several species
of these parasites, aud it is advised that
the blighted grain be allowed to remain
so that they may multiply in sufficient
numbers to externinate the aphis The

hatch, and the young brood eats into tire

Creamery or Dairy-whioh?

As found in the markets, creamery
butter is generally better and commands
a higher price than does butter made on
the farm, but this is not necessarily so.
At tho creameries the methods used pro-
duce uniformity in quality and appear
ance that the makers at homo often fail
TO obtain from various causes, such as
keeping the cream too long, irregMarity
in churning and sailing, and especially
from the effects Of climatic changes,
causing variations Of temperature in the
dairy room that the creameries can
better control. There are reasons why
butter made in small quantities from II
few select COWS, and where the food =,
milking, churning, sailing, etc, are
properly attended to, should be better
than creamery butter made from the
milk of many cows of different breeds
Many persons who have gained the
reputation for making gilt edge butter at

The Philosophy of Spraying Explained SO
Clearly rs TO LcaSe No Excuse For
Amy Farmer to Negle ct the APP
pllcatlon of Insecticides,

The exceedingly clear explanation CT
the manner in which the various insect
icides prevent insect injury when sprayed
npon infected trees and plants is given
by Clarence NJ Weed, entomologist Of
the Ohio state statiQns
The substances applied by spraying
act i'll either, or in some cases both, CT
two ways; First by poisoning the insect
when eaten by it, and second by closing
the breathing pores Of the inject, or act
dng as an external iTritant. Paris green
and London purple are examples OF the
first class of insecticides, and pyrethrum
and kerosene emulsion of the second
class, while hcleborc acts in both ways.
Substances of the first class have sim
ply to be distributed in small particles
over the foliage on fruit Of the infested
plant where the insect IN biting will
swallow il with the food eaten. Thus in
the case of the Colorado potato beetle
The potato leaves are coated with minute
PARTICLES OF Paris green or London pur-
pie. and the insects take some Of these
particles with thor fGVd aud are de-
stroved So also in the case Of the cot
ding moth, or apple worm.
The parent moth deposits an'egE in
the blossom end of the apple, and this
egg matches INTO a worm or caterpillar
that cats its way into the fruit b.
spraying the tree with Paris green OF
London purple in water when the apples
are small some particles viii be lodged

CON ! RACTED FEET.
An English Experts Plan for Keeping
Horses Feet Right.

Horses Feet Right.
To keep horses feet right or cure them
when disease of any kind settles in them
is not all the work of the farrier, says an
expert. The owner of the horse should
take his share Of tho work. With CON
tractcd feet the first thing to do is to
battle well III warm salt water. This is
to soften them and check fever. Next
put on a pouldce made out of linseed
meal three nights In succession.
Now comes the shoeing, First pre-
pare the foot Pare the so.1 down good,
leaving the bars; open out the heels well
all they will stand. This is one Of the
great secrets in spreading feet To open
the heels well don't take any off the
sides Of the frog, but open up good in
tho center, well forward. The shoe
should be stiff one, but not wide in
the web. Put four calks on the shoe.
Heat the heels of the shoe one ut a time.
Take the hot iron rasp and rasp them to
well outward. Put ON the shoe to clear
the foot at the heels so that it will take
an ordinary jacklinife one-half inch
from point when the horses weight
comes on tho foot. lie does his own

So far as legislation is concerned, we
know of but two reforms that can ameio-
rate the condition of the agricultural commu-
nifty The first and most important of all is
the abolition of our infamous system Of
double taxation which is grinulng into dust
large proportion, perhaps majority, of
our farmers. The second is the ntroduc-
ton of the free text book system, which
will largely relieve the bulk of the people
from an onerous burden and distribute it

AMONG THE BEES.
Advice to Beginners in Regard to the
Starting Of an Apiary,

Starting of an ApiarN,
1t is safe to purchase any time during
the summer. As rule prices are lower
after April and May Spring prices for
box hives with black bees average about
s. per colony, on SO in more desirable
hives. Pure Italians cost about $40. If
the purchase is not made till fall there
ought to bc discount of at least one
third on the prices named. When prac-
ticable it is advised to buy the colonies
of an apiary near at hand. Be sure TO
buy only strong colonies and begin in a
small way Italians or CarniOlans are,
IA rule the best bees for the amateur
Common black bees are, however,
cheaper and can be Italianized.
In these days box hives no longer con
tent the apiarist. Hence if you buy
bees in box hives it will be wise to sell
the hives back at reduced rates. When
practicable it will be we'll to buy bees in
one of the several standard hives. This
will be cheaper in the end, as the be
ginucr will be saved the trouble of a
transfer OF bees. Have only one style of
hive in your apiary
1t will be found convenient to locate
the apiary near the dwelling. See to it
that each hive stands level. Many
apialists place their hives TO the east
4 good plan is to so arrange the hives
,hat they may be shaded through the
middle of the day, but will receive the
early morning and late afternoon sun,
