American Cultivator says: First cross
es with almost any standard breed of
fowl are pretty sure to produce good re-
suits. The man who makes the cross
knows the characteristics he wishes to
breed TO, and the cross generally secures
them. But these grade fowls, though
often valuable for egg producing, are
not trustworthy for breeding. Their
progeny are not grades but mongrels.
Changing the males in flock is often
advised, but if the new stock are mon
grels there will be little advantage from
this The hocks on farms all over the
country are largely of this mongrel stock,
and this is one reason why so many have
poor success with poultry. Forty or fifty
years ago the common dunghill fowl in
this country, though originally inter,
mixed, had been inbred long enough SC
that it had become almost an established
breed. Few, if any, Of these old fash
ioned fowls are now left anywhere. AS
a consequence the introduction of new
blood in every flock not absolutely pure
bred is necessity every two or three
years, and in every case males of pure
blood, and 50 far as possible of the pre-
dominant strain of the flock, should be
introduced for crossing.

Now Dress Itahrics.

The first importations of spring woolen
dresses are homespuns, cheviots, tweeds
and fauciful plaids and stripes with rough
surfaces. Beige and tan shades are always
popular in the spring, and are now of the
lightest mushroom tints. a special fancy
this season is the use of pale green shades
for the accessories of these light tan
dresses, and of darker green and pale yell
low with gray gowns. Outing dresses are
of finely twilled striped fannels and the
stripes are placed bias, lengthwise and
crossw Use in n single gown.
Scotch ginghams remain the popular
cotton fabric for ladies' summer dresses
and for children's fTocks throughout the
year. They are brought out this year in
the very light colors that will be seen in all
new fabrics, the special novelty being
copies Of Louis Quinze brocades in chine,
stripes of flowers and vines on white
grounds alternating with solid stripes Of
pale rose, sky blue, mauve, gray or green.
Flowered batistes with lace stripes are
pretty summer fabrics, thinner and softer
than ginghams, and with more body"
than lawns. Percales are revived. Sateens
have a duller luster than formerly, and
the cotton cheviots are of better quality
than were last season's.-IIarper's Bazaar.

Col. Curtis said 1.-THE advantages of
swine are that they do all that the sheep
do in enriching the land, and they root
up the larva of the codling moth which
have escaped from the apples and are
hidden just under the ground. The pigs
will destroy all of these, which the sheep
will not. All other larve will be in
similar danger.

QUEEN, pRoNe AND WORKER BEES.
The Three Kinds TO he Found in Each
CoIouy-AU About the Mother Hee.

The Three Kinds TO BE Found in Each
CoIony-AIl About the Mother Hee.
The queen is the mother bee, and the
most important parsonage in the hive.
The queen, as compared with other bees,
is long lived. 1t is not unusual for her
to do good work for from three 10 four
years. All depends upon her excellence
and vigor. Some queens cease TO be use
full at the end of one year, others'at two
and so on. When they no longer lay
impregnated eggs-cease TO be fertile
the workers rear new queen and destroy
the old one
1t is the queens mission 10 keep the
colony well populated-in a word, to lay
eggs. A good queen lays from 1900 to
5000 eggs per diem, or nearly double her
weight of eggs per day. Queens differ
however, in the matter of fecuudity; the
good ones keep the hives populous with
active, profitable bees, while inferior
ones, although they may lay eggs for a
time, are never profitable. Those i'm.
perfectly developed bees are, according
to Root, the result of trying to raise a
queen when there are too few bees, or
when the larvp with which they are OBJ
liged to rear queen are too old--that
is, too nearly ready to seal up. Pro
fessor Cook says that this lack of fecund.
ity may be due to disease, improper de-
velopment or to special race or strain.
The activity of the queen is governed
largely by the activity of the workers
According to Professor Cook, as the
worker bees feed the laying queen, it is
more than probable that with no nectar
to gather the food is withheld, and 30
the queen is unable to produce the eggs,
which demand great amount of nutri-
tious food all ready to be absorbed.
Queens begin to lay when about eight
to ten days old, as a rule. If a queen is
not fertilized in, say, fortnight from
the time she is Matched she will frequent
ly begin laying without being fertilized

at all, and is commonly known as a drone
laying queen. The queen is an impor-
tant individual of hive only so long as
she is useful. When her usefulness
ceases she is destroyed with as little con-
sideration as are the drones.
The drones are the male bees, and are
generally found in the hive only from
May to November, though they may re-
main all winter. There are in nature
several hundred and often thousands in
each colony. The number may be and
is often reduced by the apiarist The
worker or neuter bees are the undevel-
oped females-the bees that do the work
except that of laying eggs. There are
from $4,000 to 10000 workers in every
good colony.

A Esm shnnn wrinLIns-

Northwest StockInan discourses as fol-
lows: Old, broken mouthed ewes are
dear at any price If they cannot be sold
to the butcher feed them to the crows in
the fall-they will get them anyhow be-
fore 'the voice of the turtle is heard in
the land"
All sheep are subject to both internal
and external parasites. Feed them occa-
sionally little hardwood ashes or finely
pulverized tobacco, which will free them
from worms and improve their general
health. Dip them thoroughly in some
approved sheep dip, and there is nothing
better than preparation of tobacco.
Do not overstock; better keep too few
rather than tco many. If a flock Of 100
sheep could be made as profitable as a
flock of ten, shepherds would be clothed
in purple and fine linen. Mix little
sulphur with their salt; it enriches the
blood and disagrees with ticks and other
parasites.

A correspondent Of. The New York
World writes: My plan in the garden,
especially with all small crops like let
tuce, onions and this class, is to prepare
the soil in good tilth ready for the seed
and then scatter the fertilizer broadcast
as evenly as is possible. Then even the
surface with good steel rake; work the
fertilizer well into the soil With all
this class of plants the fertilizer needs to
be near the surface in order to benefit
them. With cabbage, tomatoes and all
the class Of larger vegetable plants make
the place for the plants, using a dibble
or garden trowel. Put in the fertilizer
and stir it in well with the soil and then
set in the plants. With sweet corn, po-
tatoes and this class Of plants prepare
the soil and mark out the burrows ready
for the seed. Drop the fertilizer where
the seed is to be planted, stir into the
soil, then plant and cover the seed. Cen
orally this will be found better, especial
ly with potatoes, than to wait until the
plants come up and then apply CONNER

RUBIEs ADHERING To SIDES OF CRUCIBLE.
ly one inch thick, from which they can be
readily removed by simply rubbing. The
largest rubies thus far obtained weigh
about one and quarter grains, or one
third of carat. Their crystalline form,
hardness and physical characteristics were
in every way identical with the natural
stones.
AS is well known, the sapphire Is chemi-
cally the same stone as the ruby, only diff
feaing from it by its brilliant blue tint,
which has heretofore been supposed to be
due to trace of cobalt, copper or some
other metallic oxide giving that color.
1t was found, however, in these expert
ments that blue rubies or sapphires were
produced in the same crucible as the red
ones, although in much smaller numbers;
and in one case n crystal was red on one
side and blue on the other. 1t is thus proba-
BILE that the ruby and sapphire both owe
their brilliant colors TO the same metals
possibly chromium in different stages OF
oxidation.

Mr.. Clark claims no originality in the
construction of the nests or other furni-
ture, except that to circumvent "egg
eaters" he sometimes closes his nests
and compels the culprits to lay in nail
kegs, at about one-third Of the distance
from the bottom Of which he builds the
nests. This has proven effectual when
all other means have failed. All furni-
ture is portable, and can be carried
through the door leading to the al .ay,
taken out doors and cleansed by scald-
ing, whitewashing or painting with
crude petroleum, which he obtains from
oil wells only six miles away at nom.

Improving Jointing of Iron Surfaces.

that it Is found that permanent and sat

able for mending or closing cracks in cast
iron retorts employed in the distillation of
oil and gas from camel coal. The heat be-
ing applied to the bottom of the retorts
and the temperature of the iron main
tanned at a bright red heat after time the
bottom of the retort would give way, the
larger portion of the crack being downward
toward the fire.
The method employed was to prepare the
mixture and place it on top of brick, then
put the brick on a bar of iron or shovel,
and press the cement upward to fill the
crack in the iron, holding it up for some
time until it had penetrated the cavity
and become somewhat set-necessarily,
during this operation, the lid being re-
moved from the retort so that no pressure
of gas or oil should force the cement out
ward until set. The use of asbestos in this
way possesses various advantages, not the
least of which is that the substance can
not burn.

Bodices That Are Brought Up High on

The permission to wear high or semi.
high bodices at the queens drawing rooms
has had an influence among English wo-
men, as Is shown by the fact that low bod
ices for ordinary evening wear are brought
little higher up on the shoulder when the
figure needs it. This is fashion which
many American women will find both be-
coming and convenient, ms even without a
perfect figure they may wear, when occa-
sion requires il, low bodice without un-
duly exposing lack of plumpness and fair
ness. In the cut here presented is shown
an exceedingly attractive French ball
gown, with low bodice brought well up on
the shoulders.

How to Remedy SWaying ana Oscillation
Frequently the oscillations of the main
belt in mill come in unison with the beat
of the engine, and pretty perceptible
slapping about Of the belt is noticeable,
says The Artisan. The beat of an engine
will often come in sympathy with the
rhythmic sway of the building, and so in
crease it as to be very perceptible. If this
were continually going on, in exact time,
it would become so great in time as to be
dangerous; but one or the other gets ahead
and mixes the movement, 40 that it gradu-
ally ceases until they are again in unison.
II the speed of the engine is changed in
either case the swaying will be kept mixed
all the time instead of occasionally. On
long lines of shafting this will appear also,
the pull on the belt at the beginning of the
stroke being in unison with the spring of
the shaft, thus causing a marked oscilla-
ton. The same remedy is applied here, to
mix the two movements purposely, and the
trouble is partly removed, If not entirely.
