Money Orders Instead of Savings Bank.

Money Orders Instead of Savings Banks.
Sometimes money orders as much as
twenty years old are sent into the post
Office department to be cashed. Queer
people stow them away in desks or other
hiding places, leaving them to be dis
covered in the course of time by heirs.
Of course they are invalid after one year
from the date of issue, but duplicates
are always issued and paid upon appli.
cation. Actors, and particularly circus
people, have a way of utilizing the
money order system as sort of banking
and safe deposit concern. While travel
ing about the country, for example, a
player will buy a money order for $10C
on New York, making himself the payee
Thus he puts away the sum in place
where no one else can possibly get it.
Before the year is out he may draw the
money and buy another postal order
with it, and so on, thus keeping the cash
secure for an indefinite period. He can
not be robbed. A circus clown was ar
rested in a town out west with $5, 900
worth of money order receipts in his
clothes. Had they been stolen from hin

a telegram which proved to be the

Following these kilograms came two

PIG-PEN POINTERS.

OF the many ways Of making a clover
field profitable, We believe none will
figure up larger return than when
the clover is converted into pork by
grazing.
STRANGERS should be kept away from
the pens when young pigs are on hand.
Small filters are often injured or killed
by the SOW being made restless By too
many visitors
EIGHT hundred pounds Of pork should
be made from an acre of good clover, if
thrifty pigs are turned upon il at the
right age. This is cheaper than it can
be made from corn
The feeding of bulky food with corn
when fattening hogs is Of direct value,
because it increases their ability to as
simulate a larger quantity of grain.
Pumpkins are good for this purpose.
SQUAsHEs and pumpkins cut up and
fed with corn when fattening will make
a faster gain, and with less expense
than with corn when fed alone. The
hogs viii also keep in better condition.
IT is great mistake to suppose that
sour milk is better than sweet for feed
ing or fattening pigs. In fact, sweet,
wholesome food ofevery sort is always
the best for-this as-weif as for other
stock.-Colman's Rural World.

A Matter Deserving the Serious Attentio
of BeekeeperS.


A Matter Deserving the Serious Attention
Of Beekeepers.
The occupants of the hives are not
likely to receive any injury directly
from each other If the hives are placed
close together in a straight row. as
they were commonly placed years ago.
There may be some mixing of the bees
by their entering wrong hives. but that
does not seem to make any trouble.
There may, however be serious trouble
whenever young queens fly on their
bridal trips, for in that case if queen
enters wrong hive it leaves queenless
the hive she left.
To avoid any trouble OF this sort it is
necessary to have the hives well apart,
and it depends upon circumstances how
far that should be. On a level plain.
where there is not a tree or shrub or
building in sight, l think it quite pos
sible that there would be some mixing
and loss of queens in an apiary of one
hundred colonies if the hives should
be placed a rod apart. But on the same
spot you might with perfect safety put
three hives touching each other, in any
possible position. Bees are not good
at counting, and, if bee has nothing
else to go by except to find q hive
which is the fifth from the end in the
third row, it is likely to make a mis-
take. But if the apiary consists of
only three hives the bee does not need
to count. IC can easily find the one at
the left, right or middle
So it is good plan to have the hives
at least five or six feet apart, especially
as it is more convenient for the operator
to have plenty Of room between them.
At the same time it is very fortunate
thing, in case it is desirable to econo-
mize room, that it is just as we'll to
place the hives in pairs as to place them
Singly. Suppose row OF hives six feet
apart. Now You may place another
hive beside each hive in the row, hav-
ing the pair of hives almost touching
each other, and there will be no more
danger of bees or qeeens entering
wrong hives than if you had left them
single. You see, a bee will never make
the mistake of taking the right-hand
hive for the left &C. C. Miller. in Bee
journal.

Description OF Perfect Winter Home

| am glad to notice that the practice
of keeping dairy cows in the stable
through the winter, ana watering them
without exposure to storms or cold air,
is commended by several well-known
writers and practical farmers. After
some experiments made in former
years, my son last December built stalls
in the COW stable and put in iron
troughs so that each COW has running
spring water constantly within reach.
The cows were kept tied in the stalls
through the winter with perfect salts

The stalls are made of inch spruce
matched boards and are in every way
satisfactory.
Each COW has perfect stall, but one
basin supplies two stalls. The stall is
for cows that weigh 1000 pounds each.
For one weighing 900, a stall nine
inches shorter has been found right in
length. Each COW has her feed

That Silver Dunn,

To the person who fears that this
country may become the dumping
ground of the silver of the world, the
statistical abstract of the United States,
1891, fourteenth number, etc, prepared
under the direction of the secretary of
the treasury presents some very inter
esting figures. 1t shows that the value
of the silver coin and bullion that has
been exported from the United States
from 1S4S to 1892 inclusive ex-
ceeds the amount imported by
1854, 227,7 OS, and that the coinage
value of all the silver mined in tbs
country from 1899 to 1890 inclusive.was
1907, 1856, 900. The imports Of silver
from 1913 to 1891 inclusive, only ex-
ceeded the exportsin four years, viz.

HOW TO TRAIN COLTS.
Treat Them Kindly and Is Though They
Had some sense

Treat Them Kindly and as Though They
Had Some Sense.
The practice of letting colts run wild
until they are two or three years old
has been changed to the habit of break
ing to halter while young. Often they
are broken TO lead before they are
weaned. and are handled and petted
more or less until considered old enough
to break TO harness. Many yearling
colts are actually broken TO harness
and driven before light vehicles, but,
at this age, unless managed with rare
judgment, injury is liable to follow
from overeXertiOn.
II the colt is Of a nervous temper.
ament, treat kindly by feeding grain,
and teach it to eat Jumps of sugar from
your hand and soon YOU will be able
to rub and pet it. Speak gently 10 the
colt and soon your coming will be a
welcome visit. When tying with a
halter use a strong one, so that if it is
scared and pulls back the halter will
not break but hold firmly. The colt
will not soon repeat that method OF
getting away. Throughout the break.

Should the colt be fretful and try
your patience. do not get mad and give
1t an excessive drive simply TO let it
know You are the master, or whip and
otherwise abuse it to gain the same
point. The chances are that if you tell
the truth about the matter afterwards,
you will acknowledge your mistake.
Teach colts to instantly obey the
word whoa" and train them to stand
until requested TO go. Call the colt by
its name very frequently. When used
by the side of another horse the latter
should be of the gentlest disposition,
and, no matter how kind and trusty it
has been, never leave them without
tying both of them. as colts frequently
get into bad snarls and the mate, how
