SCHOOL HOUSE, April 18th.
The greatest event Of the season was
the Arbor day party given by Mr.. and
Mrs. j. B. Heath in their handsomely
furnished rooms, No. 13 College block, in
honor of their daughters Misses Fannie
and Ethel. All the teachers, janitor and
lady, and pupils of the upper rooms were
invited guests
Dinner was served promptly at quar-
ter past twelve. / must not attempt any
adequate description 1 never so fully
realized the poverty of the English lam
guage. The table service was exquisite,
and the dinner prepared by such fairy
like hands, and served on such fragile
ware, would have delighted the most
fastidious epicure.
Chesterfield could not have excelled
Mr.. John Blackberry Heath in repose
and elegance of manner. Mrs Maria
Jane Heath is tine impersonation of
queenly grace aud feminine lovliness.
Misses Ethel and Fannie, by their
sweet and gentle manner and delicate at
tention to the wants of the guests, won
the hearts CT all. Mr.. and Mrs. Heath
have family of nine lovely children.
After dinner the children gave an en-
tertainment consisting of Arbor day
songs and recitations. The rendering of
Little Moheer by Misses Ethel and F'loy
was soul thrilling.
Time will not permit mention of all the
recitations, but the guests were unani-
nous in the expression of the opinion
that it was the happiest event OF their
sojourn on this mundane sphere.
A DELIGHTED GUEST.

An Outrage.

1t was strange oversight on the
part OF our representatives in the Legis-
lature, to have allowed the judicial bill
to have passed without any provision
made for the holding of at least one term
of the District Court in Kiowa county.
To oblidge her people to come across the
country 40 or 80 miles to Lamar, to
transact their business in our court is an
outrage. We belive a petition could be
sent to Judge Gunter with sufficient
names from the two counties to induce
him to hold special term at Sheridan
Lake for their benefit. II they desire it
and will start the matter going, we will
be very glad to render any assistance
possible down here.

TREES GIRDLED BY NICE.

When trees are completely girdled by
mice the injury is irretrievable. If the
damage could be discovered at once and
before the wood should dry it might per-
haps be possible to save some of the trees
by cutting the bark from others and fit
ting it accurately to the damaged portion
and wrapping the part in moist clay kept
moist by wet bandages. But the chances
are hundred to one against this during
the winter, when the sap is not flowing,
while later, when the sap is in molten, it
might be done. Prevention is the only
cure, and this is easily secured by wrap
ping paper around the trees in the fall
and taking it off in the spring, when
there is no more danger, - Chicago Times

MAKE ACGOOD GARDEN.

Nc man should spend his labor and
time over so large an acreage as TO fail in
making tirst-class garden. In this much
of the satisfaction and often no little
part of the profit of country and farm
life consists. It is rather disheartening
for the city resident who goes into the
country during the summer for fresh air
and fresh home grown small fruits and
garden vegetables to look into back yards
and find tiE cans carelessly thrown away,
which show that even for such common
table Injuries as tomatoes, green corn,
and often green peas, the farmer and his
family have nothing better for him than
he could himself buy at the retail
grocery. If farmers wish to attract other
men to their business, as it is clearly
their interest to do, they must in every
way make farm lifeas pleasant and en-
joyable as possible. ,Labor-saving ma
chinery enables the farmer to take life
easier if he Will. He complains that low
prices for staple crops take off all his
profit. Grow less of these crops then,
and devote lare er~share of time TO fruit,
especially the small fruits, and to garden
vegetables. So soon as the farmer grows
enough of ell kinds, of,Vegetables for table
use in their season, he has procured lux
uries that only wealthy men can afford.
AS he thinks over what he would have
been obliged to pay for such table deli
cacies, the harder lines of his life fade
away. 1t seems worth while to live on
farm, and when he gets to feeling this
way it is ten to one that he falls into the
habit of marketing supplies he does not
need, and thus after few years de-
velops into market gardening the natural
way. First make a garden THAT will
supply your own table with all garden
delicacies, and if there is surplus it

CAREFUL OATS CULTURE.

The extraordinary price and scarcity
of oats this spring will stimulate sowing,
and the high price of seed and probable
normal or low price Of the resulting crop
Ozone extreme follows another77D will
make 1t worth while to be carefal in
the planting. The haste to get them in
early often leads to blowing before the
ground is dry enough, and results in a
cloddy or packed condition of the soil,
much more conducive to growth of rag
weed and pigeon-grass than to oats
With exception of barley and some early
garden vegetables, no crop sH soon gives
h return in saleable crop as oats, and
this means rapid growth and necessity
for plant-food in a readY-to- bc-used con-
dition. Opinions differ in reference to
blowing or not blowing cornstubble
for oats; equally good farmers practising
both methods; but it is certain that if a
portion of the surface be left unbroken,
hard and weedy, it will be impossible to
get thrifty, strong uniform growth of
oats. On the score of economy of labor
there is a difference whether the ground
be plowed or made mellow with the
cultlvator, as the latter tool, although
WIDER, is not so effective, and must be

HARD OLE SOFT FOOD.

Experience shows that hard food is
better than soft food for poultry, not
that it contains more nutrition, but for
the reason that when soft food is given
the hens are tempted to eat larger pro-
portion than should be the case. The
giving of soft food leads to overlooking
and impairs the digestion. 1t also sup
plies the wants of the fowl more readily
than hard food, and SO completely salts
fies 1t that the inducement to work and
scratch $50 essential to health and the
thrift Of the fowl is .lessened. Then,
there is the fact that when giving soft
food the poultryman, by mixing several
kinds, is liable to give more Of one kind
than may be needed, while with hard
grains the fowls have greater privilege of
selection of that which they prefer; but
with mixed softfood they must eat every
thing or which it is composed-all or
none-and thereby surfeit themselves. 1t
is proper to give soft food, SO as to feed
some needed substances, but we believe
three times week sufficient. Give
whole grain and scatter it far and wide,
or mix 1t with litter, thus compelling
each hen to hunt and scratch for all she
receives, which will keep her in health
and promote egg production. -Neao Or

HOW TO HIVE A SWARM OF BEES.


TO hive swarm of bees successfully
ard In systematic manner, writes bee
keeper, requires presence of mind, cool
ness of nerves and feariesspess. To note
the vast difference of the ways in which
bees are hived throughout the country
would be very amusing. / think it is
sufficient to point out the correct way.
1t is the usual custom on discovering
swarm leaving the hive to begin throw
ing water on them; this | do not do.
When see a swarm in the air, at once
set about to prepare hive for them. If
[ know which hive they have come out
of I remove it to new location and set
the new one in its place, and spread on
the ground just in front of it sheet
doubled twice.
The new hive should contain full set
Of frames with narrow strip of founda-
ton as a starter, and if it is during a good
honey flow and after the surplus arrange
ments have beer put on, would remove
the latter from eff the old hive and place
IL on the new one; by this time the swarm
has settled If low enough, sprinkle
them little to prevent them flying when
Jared. Now get your swarming basket
Il find that one holding a half bushel is
the most conveniently; to the handle of
this tie pole; piece of pine one and
one-half OR two inches square is just
right. Now reach up with the apparatus
just described and place the basket IN
der the cluster; the end of the handle
should extend beyond the basket a foot
or so; strike the limb on which the bees
have settled a sharp blow, at the same
time keeping the mouth of the basket
where the bees will fall into it. If the
first jar is hard enough the queen will
fall into the basket together with the
larger portion of the bees. Hold the
basket in the same position until the
bees have settled, and if any settle on the
limb continue to jar it until they have
all settled in or on the basket.
You now have them captured and can
do anything you want with them.
have carried a swarm mile in this shape
without any trouble. If your hive is in
readiness carry the bees and pour them
down in front of it and assist them to
enter by taking hold of the corners of
sheet and raising it; after they are all in
see that the hive is shaded from the suns
rays, and you can then leave them to take
care of themselves. -FdTna, Field Gn1
