After leaving Mr. ST Kyle, the noun

sleeping in the WOODS at night, and once
coming within sight of number of
wagons escorted by a lot of mounted
men who were evidently out collecting

alton of half the pork the woman gave
MS the use Of her fire and contributed
some corn bread that had evidently been
cooked in the ashes, for it was incrusted
with pieces Of charcoal, which Bell as
sured me was an excellent aid to diges-
ton.
On the fourth morning after leaving
Kyle's we forded the Tallulah river, and
about a mile beyond we were brought
to halt by six men, ali of whom We're
armed with old fashioned rifles. They
appeared about us as suddenly as if they
had been shot ont of the rocks, and the
leader, an old man with gray beard and
eyes that looked particularly cold and
white in contrast with his dark, leathery
cheeks, called out:

rlle ontaoer winterlng u g

Mr. WI. z. Hutchinson, well known
Michigan bee man. thus disposes Of the
question of tile outdoor wintering of
bees in Il letter 10 Country Gentleman:
-If bees can enjoy frequent flights, out Of
doors IS the place to winter them. II
deprived of these flights temperature
Of abont - degs. enables them to bear
much longer confinement than does a
temperature below freezing. In the
south frequent flights are assured; in the
north no dependence can be placed upon
tine matter Some winters are 'open.'
OF there are January thaws. allowing the
bees to enjoy cleansing flights. while
other winters hold them close prisoners
fOr four or Eve months 1t il this cie-
ment Of uncertainty attending the win
tering cf bees It'd tine open air that las
driven 50 many beekeepers to tie adop-
tion of cellar wiutering."
Mr Hutchinson further writes that
with il gooi strong colony of bees and
ventilation above the packing, where
bees are wintcred out Of doors. he has
never known of trouble from moisture.
He always gives abundant ventilation
above the packing. Another point spe-
cially emphasized hy him is in preparing
Bees for winter either indoors or Ont, the
leaving of space below the combs
When wintered out of doors, there ought
to he % rim two inches high placed under
each hive. This allows the dead bees
to drop away from the combs to q place
where they win dry TIP instead of mold
Ing between Tine comhs. Then, if there
is an entrance above TILE rim, there Will
be no possibility Of the entrance becom-
ing clog-ed This space under the
combs seems to be wonderful aid in
bringing thc bees through In fine cundi-
tion. Weak colonies can seldom be sue
cessfully wiutered out Of doors. They
cannot generate sufficient heat. In the
cellar, where the temperature seldom
goes below 80 degs., quite weak colonies
cam Ivy successfully wintered The whole
matter Of outdoor wintering Of bees
might be sHmmsd up i'll 4 few words:
PopGlous colonies, plenty Of good food

that was left we started off with the
rising sun at our backs 1t was mid
afternoon before we met anybody, and
then it was-in an unexpected way. We
had just come upon road that led in
the direction of our advance when we
heard yells in the distance. followed by
the pounding Of hoofs
There were two or three men, not
more, we felt sure. in the party. So we
stepped into the timber and waited. iii
few minutes two horses were reined in
close by, and with alarm i'll their faces
the men looked back in the direction
from which they had come. They were
boys dressed in q cadet uniform and
armed with carbines Without consult
ing me Bell stepped into the road, and I
followed. Tho young men turned pale,
and one Of them was about to dash off
when he noticed our clothes, and shouted
out:
'rhHnder! Thought you were Yanks.
You uns seem to be running AS if
the Yanks was close by" said Bell.
The young men declared that the
Yankee cavalry were close by; they Lad
seen y lot Gf thein-a regiment, one Of
them declared an hour before, and
they We're .-swarming this way as fast
as their horses could carry them. The
young men urged us to go back with
them, but we langhingly assured them
that we were not scared Of all the Yam
KEGS in the land. II the horses ridden
by these amateur soldiers had not been
pretty we'll exhausted we should have
forced them 10 dismonnt; rs it was, we
let them 50 their way, and as they saw
us going down the road they must have
thought us great heroes or great fools.
Just before dark we heard what we
took to be the sound Of artillery firing to
the south and west. With hope beating
high in our hearts we pushed on through
the darkness, for another day might re-
ward our long and trying effort.

lND WAYS UF lNIMMINT LELENIl
People in the east were in the habit Of
seeing celery trimmed AS shown at the
right Of our illustration. and we have
learned to like the way, especially as the
center Of the root part IS ~ good to eat
as any other part Of the plant. The
Kalamazoo people cut the root OH square
and usually pretty close TO the heart a.
shown at The left of illustration. This
20 us looks like mutilation, and we think
the growers make 4 mistake 1t may
take a little longer to trim the roots Of
with four cuts than with a single stroke
of the knife, but il will pay in the end
by making more sales ana increasing
the demand for their products

Making Cider

The later that cider is made, other
things being equal. the better it will be
ana the better it viii keep. A good
cider apple il hard ana sound, with
rich iuice ana i somewhat decided acid
flavor. The sweet cider should be placed
Ill one W more open headed casks. as
may be required, set upright. with fau-
cets Il few inches from the bottom,
through which the cider can be racked
Off. Here IT should stand until active
fermentation sets In. usually from two
t0 three days, according 1O tile temPera-
tnrc. when a heavy scum will rise to the
top, which should be SKINNED Oh. At
the same time a deposit of fine pomace
Will settle w the bottom below the fau-
cots. Thus q portion of the impurities
rises to tile surface and may De skinned
of, while another portion is precipitated
to tile bottom. The cider should be
drawn off into clean casks through the
faucets without disturbing the sedi-
ment in the bottom Of the casks. 1t
should then he stored in o. cool place
as possible and as tightly bunged as the
subsequent fermentation Will admit
without straining the barrels enough to
cause leaking. III the strain upon the
barrels becomes excessive, a small gimlet
should be used to give them vent while
it continues.

wa11a wa11a,s wheat ouotations.

WALLA WALLA, Aug. 19.-The wheat
market this morning opened in an unde-
cided tone. The farmers felt confident
and raised the selling price to so cents
as minimum, while the buyers declined
to give quotations till they could hear
from the eastern markets. Offers were
made on the same basis as Saturday but
in nearly all instances were declined.
About noon local quotations were lowered
2 cents per bushel on all grades, but
afterwards the market regained in tone
and sales were made on the basis of 76
cents for club and 78 cents for bluestem
per bushel. Some offering were made at
1906 cents per bushel net, fot prime
bluestem. The aggregate sales today
did not exceed 1000 bushels. The
railroads report no shipments as yet, as
the farmers are not far enough along
with the harvest to deliver wheat at sta
tions. Your correspondent interviewed
number of farmers this afternoon.
They united in an expressian of faith in
the coming prices. Many believe wheat
will reach 81 before September. More,
who are heavily in debt, express an in
tention to sell only enough to quiet their
creditors, and hold the rest for the ad-
vance, they feel sure will come.

WILL REMAIN NEUTRAL.
Switzerland Refuses to Join CONNER
cia1 League.

cial League.
LONDON, Aug. 1S.-The failure of ne
tiations with Switzerland for CONNER
cial league with Austria and Germany
has produced much disappointment in
Berlin, where it is felt that the failure
is due to the evident determination of
the majority of the Swiss to maintain
neutral position in the existing differ
ences and difficulties and coming wars
of Europe. The proposition from the
first impressed the people of Switzerland
unfavorably. They have traditional
repugnance to a close alliance of any
kind with Austria, and they fear the
power of Germany. France, too, has
many friends among the Swiss, and all
the stood out against commercial union
with the two great German powers.
The Swiss federal government has got
out of the matter as easily as possible,
conscious that referendul would result
in the defeat of the proposition, and in
the discredit of the government support
it. 1t is expected that Austria and Ger
many will now conhne themselves to
confirming and arranging the details of
their mutual agreement. Hungary has
an abundant harvest and will be able to
spare large quantities of grain for use in
Germany as soon as the treaty between
the two countries comes into operation.

Bimetalism is so regulated as to allow
the free coinage of all gold and silver

Probably stampede to sell will begin

There will be shipped out of this county

grain. Many mortgages will be paid off
this year, and the big returns for wheat
will have their effect.
