WHY FARMERS SHOULD KEEP BEES.

WHY FARMERS SHOULD KEEP BEES.
The fact that bees are pollen -distribu.
tors is sufficient reason whya place should
be made for them on every farm. If kent
Tor no other purpose than the good they
no to growing crops and fruit bearing
trees and plants by spreading the pollen
among the blooms, these Industrious
workers would be valuable adjunct.
Testimony is abundant and conclusive.
says Farm Mems, as to the desirable effect
OF bees upon grape vines, fruit trees, and
fruit-bearins plants generally. Indce1,
one prominent apiarist goes so far rs to
ins;s; that Il few hives OF bees iudiciously
placed will revive fruit farm from non
paying to II profitable Investment. Field
crops, scientists tell us, and wide-awakc
farmers know from observation, are
greatly assisted by the honey bees
manirulations. Indeed, their influence
is required for the perfect floral fertiliza
ton OF some OF the cereal crops and the
meadow grasses. Where the farmer is
too busy to give his personal attention to
the production OF honey, it is suggested
that he purchase Il few hives and turn
these over to the care of his wife and
daughters. They will find the pin MONEY

PAINTERS PROTEST.

They Make a Full Statement of
To the Public-The journeymen
painters of st. Paul desire to call your
attention to a correct statement of the
differences existing between themselves
and their employers, and particularly
the firm of Bazille & Partrid ge, who
have locked their men out.
Last winter, when the trade was
quiet, and the employers and employees
were at leisure, the journeymen re-
quested the employers to arrange the
work on the basis of nine hours per
day. This was done at that time in Or
der that there might be due consldera-
ton of the proposition before the busy
season opened.
The employers conceded the nine
hour day with nine hours pay, which
the jOurneymen accepted. The arrange
ment continued until the usual time of
dullnesS at this season arrived, when
the employers, in violation OF their
agreement made last spring. demanded
return to the ten-hour system. which,
considering the condition of the trade
and the outlook for the future, was
gross imposition Oh the employees. We
can see no other motive on their part
than selfish one and desire to de-
stroy the organization. Indeed, it is as
serted by one of the employers that it is
his purpose to disorganiZe the Journey
mems union.
One object in seeking a reduction of
hours is to furnish work for more men,
as there are large number of compe-
tent painters whose families suffer when
they are out OF employment.
If nine men are willing to work one
hour less per day in order that the
tenth man may be employed it would
seem to be so advantageous an arrange
ment as to command the approval of all
humane employers. No more is paid
for the work, the proceeds are simply
divided among ten instead of nine.
If, IN order to employ all of the
painters paIt of the time during the dull
season, we saw fit to work five hours
per day, taking five hours pay, what
objection could there be?
We are simply trying to care for our
selves, our families and our fellow
craftsmen.
Our organization helps US to become
interested in each other and to care for
each others welfare. We care for our
sick and bury oul dead. We help the
unfortunate and the needy, Frightening
many dark hour and smoothing many
rough places.
Last month the Brotherhood of
Painters and Decorators paid S1,15O on
death claims, and $500 for local sick
benefits and charitable purposes. Is
not such a brotherhood humane and
Cody? The only object that can be Sc
cured by the employers in destroying
the union is the privilege of employing
cheap, incompetent workmen and boys
who know nothing about the trade.
This has been a common practice of the
firm of Bazille & Partridge, who are the
tect the public by insisting upon certain
standards of competency. We desire
to live like honorable men among our
selves, and with those in whose service
we may be employed.

city. To inaugurate system of baths
and swimming schools which will not
OILY allow the laws OF sanitation to be
carried out, but also be boon to the
working classes and prevent loss of life
10y accident in the river, will require
but one bath house this summer,
which would cost from $500 to
$1,000. according TO the material
of which it is built. a floating
bath is very simple matter, and amost
suitable one could be erected in few
weeks at small cost. The frame work
is of wood, and floats like a ship in the
water. The sides and bottom beneath
the water are composed of lattice work,
so that the water flows through the bath
all the time and is always clean. The
bath varies in depth from two and a
half feet to nine feet, and should be
about eighty feet long and twenty feet
wide. A three-foot platform runs
around the bath one foot above the
surface of the water, and should have
ropes or chains suspended along its
sides. Partition dressing rooms on the
four sides of the bath provide accom-
modations for the bathers, and the cor
rugated iron roof with glass skylights
complete the bath.
The floating structure should be
constant flow of water through the sides.
This overcomes the greatest defect of
swimming baths Oh land, where, no
matter what appliances are used, the
water is always unclean. The bath is
moored to posts, and can be moved at
any time if necessary to another part
of the river.
Such bath as briefly described above
would prove one of the greatest bless
ings for which humanity could wish.
The cost of maintenance would be
nominal. The bath should be free TO all
comers, aud at all hours of the day.
Those who are willing to pay small
fee of five cents should be supplied
with rough towels. This would be
found to be source of revenue suffi-
cient to pay the expense of lighting and
janitor. Certain hours should be set
apart for women and young girls, so
that they NAV, as we'll as their
husbands and brothers, enjoy the benefit
of plunge in the cool river Swimming
classes could be formed and an instructor
paid from a small fee charged to each
person joining the classes. In these
days of travel by rail and water, it
should be necessary for every person to
be able to swim. 1t would serve two
fold purpose. for not only would health
be benefited in many ways, but the ma
tcrial art would in many instances save
valuable life. Let us have a floating
swimming bath without further delay,
and many grateful word will be uttered
for the city fathers as thousands of
young men and women visit the bath to
enjoy one of the most valued gifts of
an allwiSe providence. A. A. l..

and scheme was adopted for the eleva-
ton of the tracks. The work was COM
pleted seven years ago.
Is the new system satisfactory? There
is but one answer to the question. The
verdict of the people is that the elevated
tracks constitute the most important
and beneficial work ever made in the
city, outside of the water works. There
are no more mangled bodies picked up;
trains dc not run into horse cars and
vehicles. and there is no more danger to
the public. No person has the slightest
preteXt tor incurring any risk of death
or injury from trains of the New York
Central railroad. To trespass on the
elevated tracks renders one liable to
arrest, fine and Imprisonment, and the
occasions are rare for enforcing the
penalty.
The benefits reaped by the railroad
company are very great. Travel through
the city is free and unobstructed. The
small army of flagmen that used to be
kept at the crossings are dispensed
with. The big suits for damages for
death and injury to persons and prop
erty are no longer to be fought out in
the courts. A test of seven years has
proven the elevated tracks satisfactory
from all points of view.
Seventeen large and busy streets are
crossed by the elevated tracks. The
passageway under the iron bridge is in
no case less than eleven feet in height.
Twenty-one feet is the greatest height
of any one elevation Between the
bridges the tracks are supported by
massive retaining walls of solid mason
ry, or by embankments that are kept
nicely sodded and trimmed.
Here we have an example of what
concerted action can accomplish.
1t is duty every citizen owes to his
family that he should use his influence
to abolish these street railroad cross
ings. The city is growing. Every
year the work of bridging the crossings

these unprotected crossings.
When the city was yonng, with small
population, no objections could be made
against these open crossings. Now,
however, with large and pOpulous city.
with the railroad tracks bordered on
each side by long lines of residences, it
is certainly time something should be
done TO remove this deadly menace to
the public -foT,it is deadly menace. To
demonstrate this let any Skeptical per-
son stand near one of these crossings a
few hours during the busy portions of
the day. 1t is hardly sufficient to
place a flagman and gates at
these places. Notwithstanding how
Vigilant the flagman may be, accidents
will occur, and the authorities owe it TO
the public that whenever possible the
risk to life shall be reduced to the min
imum. In addition to the daily risks
run by the public at these open cross
ings, there is also the loss of time and
annoyance caused by the delays Occa-
stoned Ito allow the train to pass"
Life is too short for this kind of thing,
and besides. it is time that all primitive
methods in railroading should be rele-
gated to the past. Open crossings should
not be tolerated in the business centerS
of any city. In the East there is a move
ment towards enforcing railroads to
bridge these streetways, either by low
ering or raising their tracks. Many
cities have already accomplished this
great reform. Why should not some
such action be taken in st. Paul?
The best solution yet found for abOl-
ishing them, and one that has proven
adequate in Rochester and Buffalo. is
that of eleyating the railroad tracks.
In both of these cities the elevation of
the tracks over the streets has done
away with ali danger, and put an end
to the accidents on the grade crossings
that were once so numerous.
For years and years, until 1888, Roch-
ester, n. Y, had grade crossings. But
by the concerted action of the people
plan was arran ged whereby the New
York Central IL Hudson River Railroad
company elevated its tracks through
the city, and, where before hundreds

long vista of centuries, governments
have always devoted their attention to
the question of sanitation. "Cleanli-
ness is next to Goodness" says the old
proverb. Yet while millions have been
spent in this city for the erec-
ton of houses of worship not
asingle cent has ever been expended
to allow the masses of hard
working men, women and children to
observe the laws of cleanliness. in other
words, the person VINO desires

This system of bath houses was first in
troduced in the great city of London
about twelve years ago as an expert
ment, and in a few weeks became so
successful that the promoters. the board

large income. The plan spread rapidly
to all large cities, and to-day dozens of
floating swimming baths can be found
in London, Paris. Berlin. Vienna, New
