Poor reading Doesn't Pay.

Poor feeders, that is men who feed
carelessly rather than stingily, often
fail to develop the full powers of COW
in the way of milk production. They
only know that if COW is put on short
rations, that is much below her usual
quantity, she will at once fall off in
milk; but they do not seem to think
that the opposite is equally true, and
that higher feeding would at once show
proportionate gain. But to develop
the best possible production requires
months of careful feeding with the best
foods adapted to milk and butter; and
this requires man who is capable OF
steadily following up a definite pur.
pose. IN. w. Farmer

The Health of American Women.

Mrs. Dorothy Stanley is of the opinion
that the middle-aged and elderly wo-
men of America are inferior physically
and in appearance TO women of the
same kind in England, fact which a
well-known physician attributes to hot
furnace air in the houses and the enor-
nous consumption of ice water. This
doctor advises as preventive to ply
steal abnormity either to excessive fat
or leanness sponge bath every morn
ing in cold water, taken while standing
in warm water up to the calf of the leg,
and followed by vigorous rubbing
with a coarse towel. light breakfast
and lunch with six o'clock dinner, the
latter arranged in courses and eaten
slowly, are the most healthful. Every
woman should make it rule to be
upon her feet in the open air "a certain
length of time every day, regardless of
the weather, and short nap or rest in
the middle of the day is invalua BILE. par
ticularly to middle uged women. Houses
hhould be but moderately ,ted, nno

INTRODUCING QUEENS.
One Method which Hns Mover Failed I
Be Succcssful.

One Method which Hns Mover Failed TO
ISe successful.
There is one method of introducing
queens that never fails; it is that of
confning the queen in hive with sew
eral combs of bees just Matching. Go
over several hives, and select enough
combs from which the bees are just
emerging to fill hive. Choose those
combs that have the least unsealed
brood, as the most of this will perish.
Shake off every bee and hang the
combs in hive, closing it up bee-tight
Allow the queen to run in at q small
opening, closing it behind her This
work should be done in the fore part of
warm day. In few hours enough
bees will have hatched to make quite a
little cluster with which the queen is
absolutely safe. 1t migfss be well to
carry the hive into the house mt night
for two or three nights. In Il week the
bees may be given stand in the
apiary, and the entrance opened enough
to allow the passage of single bee.
So much trouble is not advis able un-
less it is with very valuable queen.
If bees are shaken from their combs
into box, and kept confined without a
queen several hours, Mr.. Doolittle says
they will invariably accept queen If
given one in the box. In other words,
they are hopelessly queenless and
away from their home, and will accept
anything in the shape of a queen.
In recapitulation, 1 will say, if you
wish to be sure of success in introduc-
ing queens received from distance,
observe the following directions. II
the bees are not gathering honey, feed
them. Have the bees hopelessly queen
less. Before releasing the queen sec
that the bees are favorably inclined
toward her Allow the bees to release
her by eating candy out of the entrance
of the cage. Don't disturb the bees fol
several days after the queen is released
I am aware that success is otter
achieved when some of these points
are neglected, but each has its weight

INGENIOUS TRELLlS.

Study Its Good Points and You VIII BE
Sure to utilize the Idea.
Wisterias, roses and other climbers
frequently interfere with the painting
of houses and have to be badly dam
aged by removal of their branches
when this work must be done. An in
genious trellis l saw recently was
hinged to two posts set in the earth, so
it could be bent away from the house
or even laid fiat on the ground. This
position is often desirable one for

portion the building. The siding is of
seasoned oak and pine lumber.
The dotted lines in the diagram are
movable partitions, used only to divide
the interior into stalls for sows at far
rowing time, and are held in place by
mailing Stats to the sides of the build
ing, and the boards of the partition
can be dropped into those or lifted out
conveniently. The building fronts to
the south and the partitions extend
north and south, SO that we receive the
benefit of some sunshine through the
front openings without exposing the
hogs or pigs to chilling drafts.
Troughs IA feet long extend along two
sides of the feeding floor, they are
made of pinch plank and are square
bottomed; use 10-inch wide plank for
bottom and S-inch for sides. When
the pen is used for brood sows these
troughs may be used, if partitions are
placed in them at the dividing parti-
ton. The dividing partitions should be
as low as possible as with our plan
some of them will need be stepped
over in feeding, but our aim is to
secure light, sunshine, ventilation
and convenience in handling ma
nure. These cannot all be secured
where an alley way is made
through the pen, without cutting
openings in the sides of the build
ing which will make it uncomfort-
able for the hogs in severe winter
weather. Bear in mind that we do
mostly winter feeding. The sleeping
apartments are on north side of the
building and that side of the building
is made with no openings. The manure
is removed by backing the manure
spreader up to the front opening where
it is loaded and applied directly to the
land. The feed room has gravel floor
and to insure drainage and convenience
in feeding is elevated considerably.
This floor / consider better than plank
as it does not become SO foul when
slops are handled on it. This room
contains feed bin, fuel, cooker and
other sundry articles such as pals,
sacks, etc. / believe l did not state
hat the floor of the sleeping apartment t
in the main building is elevated two
inches higher than the feeding floor.
This prevents any foulness from find
ing its way to the bed. The cost of
such barn will range from 1925 to
$500, if all material is purchased and
labor hired. Ours cost in actual cash
Sl25. Considerable of the material
used in it's construction we had on hand,
we also furnished some of the labor,
and no estimate is made of either of
these. In another article | win give

when this becomes damp or fouled re-
