Prof A. J. Cook, in his guide to bee
keeping, has the following to say on
comb foundation:
German thought and Yankee inge-
nuity have devised means for giving the
bee a start in the important yet expen-
sive work Of comb building, and hence
the origin Of another great aid to the
apiarist-comb foundation. For more
than thirty years the Germans have used
pressed sheets Of wax Al foundation for
comb. In 1861 Mr. Wagner secured a
patent III this country On foundation.
He was also the first to suggest the idea
Of rollers. It was not until 1874. how
ever, that Frederick Weiss, 4 German.
invented machine which brought the
foundation into general use here. In
1876 Mr.. A. I. Root brought the roller
machine and foundation into general
use. Since that time improvements
have been made on the machines both
by Mr. Root and others.
All of the improved machines give d
foundation Of exquisite mold, and with
such rapidity that it can be made cheap
anu lJTaC1Cdbl1. Is MI. ASuuOu says.
''The bees, in two days, with founda-
ton. viii DO more than they would id
eight days without All who wish sue
cess must use foundation often in the
brood chamber and always in the sec-
tions, unless nice white comb il lit hand.
Whoever has hundred colonies Of bees
may well own a machine for himself,
though it usually pays better topurchase
the foundation. The process or making
the foundation is very simple Thin
sheets of wax of the desired thickness
are pressed between the plates or passed
between the rolls, which are made 80 as
to stamp either drona or worker founda-
ton as desired. Worker is best, l think,
even for sections.

SUBJECTS OF WIDESPREAD iMPoR-
TANcE TO AGRlcULTURisTs.

A Kansas Stock Growers Views on the I'm
Portnnce Of Exercising Common sense
in Naming acknowledgement to Nam
Ing the Brutes After Persons or Fame.
This article is not on the culture Of
sheep, cattle OF hogs, but on a subject
tnat, judging from my own observation,
writes correspondent in The Western
Sw1neherd, causes almost as much study.
Many, raany years ago Shakespeare
wrote, What's in manner" IL may be
that some Of my brother swine breeders
will ditfer with me on this subject, but
here goes. Next to naming our babies
naming our stock seems to Be of i'm
pOrtance. Especially ID this w much
lmportanceif the animal happens to have
been purchased from a prominent breeder
at fancy price In this case his name
certainly must, in some degree, partake
OF his aristocratic birth and position.
Look at any of our stock records and be-
hold the Kings, Queens. 4 Dukes
'iDuchesses, +" Lords" "Ladys," ssSirsv
and 'Madames. Still we 40 not object
to that; it IS merely matter of taste.
Bnt our constitution does not allow Us
to indulge in titles Of nobility, yet lays
no embargo upon their Use in naming
our swine.
What we do oppose Is the naming of
boars, bulls, stations, etc., after persons
Of fame and worth, and for whom We an
have the highest degree Of respect. To
be sure, it is intended as a compliment
and to show our appreciation Of the
original. Like every other question. ii
has two sides Not many Of our great
men ''were born great or 'shad great
ness thrust upon them but rather
achieved it by years of hard work and
study. What beautiful compliment it
is to them to have their names consider
ed worth bestowing upon some boar, bull
or stallioni While the persons thus hon
ored live it may not seem 50 very OBJ
jectionable, but when they have laid off
this mortal coil, and we speak of them
with reTerential sadness, does 1T not
seem rather a burlesque to have A great,
grunting boar or a believing bull called
falniliarly by the same names
There is still another view Of this ques-
ton which appeals directly to our pockets,
and, like good Americans, who worship
the almighty dollar, which we cannot
afford to overlook Fayorite politicians
and statesmen havei in the last few years
been the bank from which hog men have
drawn largely for names. Fortunately,
our country, though united in name is
not in politics, and while a pig with
Roscoe Conklin" for 4 sire would suit
you, your neighbor would swear up and
down that anything connected with that
name could not come on his farm 50
with bull named '.Grover Cleveland,
''John ingalls," ''Jaraes G.. Blaine"
''Benj. Harrison, etc. know whereof
speak when say many sales are lost
by giving partisan names to the head OF
herds. There are multitudes Of names
that do not mean any one in particular
that can be used without hurting the
feelings Of anybody or causing loss to
their pockets.

Ventilating Poultry Houses without
Causing Draughts on the Fov~rs

Ventiiating Poultry Houses without
Causing Drau2hts on the Fowls
The first objects now with poultry
keepers. and particularly with those who
are making especially of egg production.
are to secure warmth and afford protec-
ton from dampness to their fowls.
Dasnpness and cold draughts of air in
poultry houses are the most prolific
causes Of that dreaded disease, the Group.
Warmth is absolutely essential to egg
laying; hence only those birds that have
comfortable houses to roost in lay dur
ing the winter season in rigorous
climates. The draughts that find their
way through doors, windows and the
cracks of poultry houses result in the loss
Of many dollars every season. The
poultry house ought to be as nearly air
tight us possible, and all assures. espe-
cially about the doors and windows.
closed on the approach of cold weather.
The employment Of tar paper as a lining
to hen houses has been favorably reported
upon by many, not only because this
makes the house warmer. but the odor
Of the tar is in some measure a check
upon ver1nin. Better still than the tar
paper is tarred felting.
The question Of ventilation il an i'm
portant one and worthy Of consideration.
The ventilation gained, however, at the
expense of warmth does more harm than
good. and direct draughts on roosting
fowls create more disease than no ven
tilation at all. Not few poultry keepers
make holes in one end of the house. and
let the air get in and out the best way
it can. Others build their houses with
the boards little apart in order to pro
vide current of air, and then wonder
why there is no profit in poultry Bet
ter far no ventilation in winter. except
what is gained during the day by opening
the doors and windows, than this reck-
less exposure Of the fowls to draughts.
But explains the agricultural editor
Of The New York World, authority for
the foregoing, there is happy medium
between the two extremes Of draught
and no ventilation. One plan is to form
u small chamber about midway between
the caves Of the apex Of the roof with
boards. and then place at the end Of this
chamber ventilating trap. by this
means there Will be current through
the ventilating chamber that win carry
off the vitiated air without causing
draughts in the house itself. Wright
advises for the ordinary poultry house
an opening at the highest point Of the
roof, surmounted by a lantern" of
boards put together in the well known
fashion of Venetian blinds
1t must De borne in mind that the air
of poultry house does not become foul
so quickly in cold as in hot weather, and
therefore that much in the way Of ven
tilation may be done by airing the houses
during the day, and employing some
absorbent, such as dry soil, on the floor
1t is wise to sprinkle the floor often with
some good disinfectant. Land plaster i

cheap disinfeetant is sulphate Of copper.

a Bank with No CAPITAL.

ST. Louis, June IA dispatch from
Guthrie, Oklahoma, says Receiver T..
d. Mix Of the Commercial Bank, which
failed some months ago, has handed in
his report to the court. 1t shows that
the bank from Its inception was run with
a view to take in all it could in deposits
and then fail. The defunct bank started
In without a dollar. 1t opened on the
22d of April, 1889; on the 23d sic, 900
in silver were received from the Newton
National Bank Of Newton, Kansas. by
express, and the same day $4,000 was
sent back to the Newton National. De.
posits for the first three months average
$4,000 n day. There is no record that
any of the organizers of the institution
or anybody else ever put in dollar en-
cept OF depostor's money. President
j. M. Rogsdalc credited himself with
having deposited $50 900, while another
party named II. Nj. Rogsdalc had Il cred.
it OF $4S, 900. The books are in bad con-
dtiOn.

Earthquakes in Italy.

ROME, June S.-Advices from Badia,
Calavsnia and Eatrcgna, towns in
Northern Italy visited by earthquakes
yesterday, show that the inhabitants are
terror-strickcn and have taken to the
fields for safety. The authorities have,
as far as possible, sought to alleviate
distress among the people and have lurn-
lshcd a large number of tents to shelter
those who have fled from their homes.
Subtcrranean rumblnys continue and
occasionally slightcr shocks than those
of yesterday are felt. The people are in
distress o. mOmcntarily seeing the earth
open and swallow them. The damage
done at these places is much greater than
was indicated IN the first report. The
towns were practically destroyed by the
severity Of the shocks. The commits
sion appointed by the authorities to cX-
anime the houses which were not thrown
down by the undulatlons of the earth
have made Il hasty investigation, and
they report that at least three quarters
OF the houses are III such condition that
public safety demand that they be pull
cu down entirely. A large body of troops
has been dispatched to these places to
assist the authorities in clearing the
streets Of debris, in tearing down dan
gerOus houses and to render such other
assistance rs they may be called upon
to give.
