TO WELCOME MR.. REID.

The Retiring Minister to France Expected
at New York To-Day.
NEW YORK, April 2.-Whitelaw Reid,
the retiring minister to France, is ex-
pected to arrive here to-day on LaCham
paigne. A numb Der of friends arranged
to go down the bay to meet the steamer
and bring Mr.. Reid up to the city with
them. There will be no formal
reception. All the arrangements for
the banquet to be given in
his honor by the Ohio Society of New
York have been completed. 1t will
take place at Delmonicas on April 9.
Mr.. Reid returns to his native country
with honors thick upon him. That he
won the esteem of the French people is
shown by the great dinner given in his
honor on the eve of his departure from
Paris. Over three hundred guests
were present and the music was furn
ished by the band of the National
Guards, which usually plays only at
government entertainments.

Fowls in Confinement.

Many persons keep fowls in confinement
for want of space and much better manage
ment must be given in order to avoid dis
t ase and over fat condition, says no less
an authority. than P E. Jacobs. If the
flock is small and table scraps should be
made to answer and work. It is much better
TO have them hungry and eager to scratch
for any extra allowances, the pr nc1pal
food being chopped grass, or some kind of
bulky material. One of the essential re-
quisites is not to permit the hens to be
idle, but compel them to scratch for
something than to overfeed them and
thereby destroy their value as egg pro-
ducers.

Breed the Best,

1t was the general practice not very
long ago, and widely accepted as the cor
rect method, to breed any mare that was
not good for any other use If she was
unsound or tricky she would still do to
raise colt, and to this practic is largely
due the great number of poor horses that
our farms are no burdened with, for of
course, these colts stayed at home, upon
the farm where they were foaled, because
so worthless that they could not be sold
for enough to pay the cost of raising them
1t will be long time before We can Who'll
ly eradicate the effect of this poor breed
ing, but we believe farmers are wise
enough now to practice the widely differ-
ent plan of breeding the best they have,
and so endeavoring to perpetuate the most
valuable qualities of their STOCK, instead
of the poorest. In no line of stock does
good breeding have a surer effect upon
our profits, and if a man cannot breed
good mare he had best not breed any.

Why Bees Swarm-How to Hinder

As soon as swarm issues, mark the
parent colony, and the next day uncover
the hive and introduce virgin queen by
simply allowing her to run in between the
COMBS. This will prevent after-swarmlng
for the following reasons: It is a we'll es.
tabllshed fact that by departure of the old
queen, the queenless colony depends upon
Its queen cells for Its future queen, and as
the first queen thus Matched destroys all
the remaining queen cells. unless signaled
by the piping of a second queen, this
new queen will take the old queens place,
hence there will be no after-swarming; the
queen, if signaled, will leave with part of
the bees, called an after swarm. As the
next queen matches. if signaled by a third,
another swarm will issue, and so on. By
introducing virgin queen about two DAYS
old (which every bee keeper should have
at that time), all queen cells will be de-
stroyeo by that queen, which will be mated
In few days, thus effectually preventing
after swarming, and advancing brood
rearing from 10 to Is days, writes a cor.
res pondent of American Bee Journal. Bees
IN such state of queenlessness never de-
stroy virgin queen introduced at the top
OF the hive, not knowing whether such
queen came out Of their own cells or not.
Colonies thus treated will not only discon-
tinue swarming, but if given sufficient
space, will not swarm again next season.

They heed not the voice of his commanding,

lamb the shepherd takes unto his breast
And then he gently bends and takes another,
And in his arms the two lambs lie, at rest.

The little lambs know well the that holds

They nestle warmly and are satisfied
Then the fonG mothers, with maternal longing,
Look on beyond that rivers fearful flow:
They can but fol ow, and. behind them throng-
Their fieecy comrades are in haste to GO
Drawn by a love stronger than any shrinking,
Their lambs they follow over any tide;
They heed not now the swimming the sink
They brave the stream and reach the further
side
They think no longer upon what hath been.
He gives them back their lambs, and then he leads
them
BY the still waters and the pastures green
So shall it be with you, o weeping mother,
Whose lamb the Lord hath taken from your
sight;
IT'S He hath done it-He, and not another,
Your lamb lies in His arms. casped close and
tight.
Across the stream your little one is taken,
That you may fear no more its quick, dark flow,
But that, with steadfast heart and faith mistaken
You may be ready after it to 60

To bless at once the little one and you;
He knows that when with Him is your best treas.
