Robert Bonner always has horses
shoes put on cold. He says, "A hot shoe
is relic of barbarity."
When Robert Bonner paid 81, 900 for
Sunol she was lame. This fact was
made known to Mr.. Bonner. He went
to see her, examined her feet. ordered
some changes made in her shoeing and
departed In few days the lameness
had all disappeared and has never re-
turned. ''lt's all in the shoeing," says
her owner
Robert Bonner ought certainly to give
the world the benefit of his experience IN
horse shoeing. His system, properly car
ried out, would revolutionize this bust
ness and make millions of horses yet to
come thank him as their benefactor if
they could know how to talk Marvin, Su-
nol's attendant, says that if what he has
learned from Bonner about a horses
feet had been known twenty years ago
the trotting record would have been sew
eral pegs lower than it now is. Think
about it, Mr.. Bonner.
The demand for Shropshire rams for
1891 was unprecedented and in excess of
the supply. It shows that sheep breed
ers are turning to mutton stock and that
the Shropshire is getting into first place.
Finely grained meat and small offal
are the marks of well bred pigs. Small
heads, small bones, long back, deep ribs,
short legs and well rounded hams.
Poultry well kept pays the best of any
domestic live stock.

Per Cent. of Butter.

Somebody with head for figures has
been to the trouble to search out how
much butter to the hundred pounds OF
milk is produced on an average by the
creamerles In different parts of the
world. The result is given in the fol
lowing. table. If the figures are correct,
then Manitoba can get most butter out

Corning Eecf,

The object in sailing beef is to get it
just salt enough to preserve it, ard not
SO salt as to make it hard and dry when
cooked. The following is a receipt much
used-Cover the meat for twelve hours
with brine scarcely strong enough to
float an egg. Then take it out and wash
it in cold water, and press it well with
the hands and squeeze out all the blood
you can before sailing it down. Then
throw the bloody brine away Now
make new pickle, and for 100 pounds
Of beef, or in the same proportions for
other quantities, dissolve six pounds of
salt, two pounds OF sugar and two ounces
of saltpeter in water enough to cover
the meat when weighted down; skim it
well before pouring it on. and whenever
scum arises on it afterward, Indicating
the beginning of fermentation, scald it,
skim it and pour it back when cold.
Keep in cool and well ventilated place.
For the south and for keeping far into
the summer more salt will be required.
Never allow the meat to float up and re-
main uncovered with brine any longer
than is necessary while taking out
piece for use

ESSENTIAL FEATURES or 4 BEEHIVE

Opinions Expressed by an Apiarist st s,
Missouri Beciseepers' Convention.
The average apiarist, in speaking OF
modern progress in beekeeping, is al
most sure to place stress On the sshiye'
as the highest point to be attained in the
art of beekeeping. That certain
! amount of time and talent should be
used in this direction will be agreed to
without argument, but to bend every
!, energy in this direction l think is a mis-
| take. When we investigate the subject
we find that practical beekeepers are
| succeeding equally well with the many
| different makes of hives. This fact alone
| indicates that good management and
| adapta bility to the business overbalance
everything else.
A hive to facilitate labor should be
simple, easy to manipulate and of rea-
| sonable price. II these points are COM
bined they will be almost sure to pro-
dGce popular hive. l use the simplic-
ity hive, improved, nine frames or eight
frames and q division board; fill the
brood chamber, use one depth section
crates with breakjoint honeyboard and
section, support combined, and follow
the tiering up plan for comb honey For
extracted honey use same size brood
chambers with perforated zinc queen
e1cluder, and tier up two or three stories
high with empty combs, nine combs to
the story above the brood chamber.
In taking up the second proposition of
my subject, will be governed by what
branch of honey production l want the
hive for. If were working for comb
honey exclusively, l would possibly
adopt the eight frame hive, but do not
think | would. do not like small
hive, especially for the general bee
keeper. They need closer attention,
will furnish more destitute colonies in
the fail and more and smaller swarms
than hives of larger capacity.
Ii were running for extracted honey
alone would without hesitation recon-
mend large hive; the only point of
limit would be convenience in handling.
But for both comb and extracted honey
from the same apiary have adopted
size Of hive suited equally well for both
kinds Of honey, and of uniform size,
viz, the nine frame simplicity single
walled hive, with chaff hive for winter
and early spring protection. In conclu-
sion | want to be liberal, | want to be
found broad in my make up, and l
recommend to the beginner and to those
who have not got q movable frame hive
to secure some reasonably good movable |
frame hive with crates to hold one pound |
sections and learn to succeed with it.

Wood Ashes as q Fertilizer,

The use of wood ashes as fertilizer
should be more generally understood.
Hard wood ashes are much richer in
potash than soft wood ashes and are
relatively more valuable. Leached wood
ashes are hardly worth more than the
labor of spreading on the land as a rule,
but on a light sandy soil they have a
tendency to compact, which is an aid to
its physical condition, but it does not act
as a manure, Unleached wood ashes is
almost a special fertilizer for all fruit
crops and only needs the addition of a
little nltrogenous manure to make it
complete. They should never be mixed
with such nitrogenous manure as hen
manure and other animal excrelnents,
for they start chemical action in conse-
auence, the nitrogen is thrown off in the
form of ammonia and is wasted Un-
leached ashes form often cheap source
pf potash.

Bee Cellars,

At beekeepers'' meeting, where the
subject of wintering bees came up fol
discussion, Dr.. Miller, who wants air fo1
his bees, expressed preference for g
large cellar-one that gives sufficient
space to place the hives without crowd
ing. In his opinion the depth under.
ground should be about eight feet. The
entrance should be on the side where the
general prevailing winds would not
come. If on a side hill, let the entrance
be where you can walk in ON the level.
1t should have double DOORS
President Taylor, commenting on DR..
Miller's remarks, said that the sun
would penetrate through DOORS more
readily than through the sides of the
building, and the door, therefore, should
not be where the sun would shine upon
it very long. The north or east would
be preferable and avoid the sun.
DR.. Mason, who considers that pure
air is more needed in early spring than
In winter, gave the dimensions of his
cellar, which are IA by % feet. In this
he has wintered fifty colonies

Thanksgiving Day.

The day was most pleasantly spent
in Maryville. In the morning the
Churches united at the M. E. Church,
South, and had one of the best meet
ings ever held in this place. After
prayer and Scripture reading by
Rev. F. E. Moore, of New Provi-
dence Church, Rev. J. D. McAllis-
ter, of the M. E. Church, South, in
troduced Rev. Wright, of the M. E.
Church, who took the first verse of
the 23rd Psalm as the basis of very
excellent and powerful sermon. Al
ter the sermon the following gentle
men each made few well chosen
remarks appropriate to the occasion:
Rev. Ruble, Prof. Waller, DR.. Bart
lett, Hon. Will A. McTeer and Prof.
Wilson. All of these gentlemen
were called forward by some happy
and appropriate remarks by Rev. j.
d. McAllister. On the wall behind
the alter was large arch made of
wheat, oats, etc. In front there was
an abundance of almost everything
grown in Tennessee.

One of the most enjoyable Thanks
giving affairs we have ever enjoyed

The occasion was "Bank Bur-
glary" conducted by the Juvenile

pie and a large number of their
friends gathered at 6:30 p. m. and
after devotional exercises conducted
by Rev. J. D. McAllister, the new

program. The following is the order
of exercises rendered:
