ALBANY, N. Y, May 24.-The Albany
Evening Journal prints an interview with
ex-senator J. S. Fassett. ''There is no
truth whatever" he said, ''in the report
that any agreement was reached about
Mr.. Blaine. The fact is that Mr.. Blaine
is far and away the first choice of the
Republican party. There is a growing
feeling of rebellion against accepting
Mr.. Blaine's letter as final. I have heard
many Democrats say they would certain
ly vote for Mr.. Blaine if he was nomi-
mated. With Blaine we can carry New
York with a rush. With anyone else, we
must fight very hard and the outcome
will be doubtful

MANAGEMENT OF BEES.

An Iowa Woman's Plain Account Of Hcr
Methods in the Apiary.
Mrs. Henry Lown, an Iowa beekeep-
er, gives the following straightforward
account Of how she manages bees in The

In the spring clipped the wings of
all queens that were not clipped. Col
pny No. swarms. l hive it. No. is
uueenless. | cut all queen cells out OF
No. /. When No. 2 swarms cage the
queen and lay it on top of No. l. The
swarm will find their queen and settle
on top of hive No. /. | move the queen
cage to the front of the entrance. Then
they will begin going in. When partly
in | give them their queen. Then war
begins. wet rag with water and
drop few drops Of carbolic acid on the
rag. Then | smoke them in and push
the rag in at one corner of the entrance.
This gives them all the same scent and
they are peaceable. l manage all my
colonies in this way. Igiye them plenty
of room.
| have twenty-six colonies and work
one-half for extracted honey and the rest
for comb honey. get the honey if it is
to be had. In ten or fifteen days they
will build queen cells and swarm out;
cage the queen and lay the cage in front
of the entrance; then cut out all queen
cells The swarm then comes back and
goes in and begins to work as if nothing
had happened. Sometimes they will
build queen cells and swarm out the
second time then cage the queen and
cut out queen cells, when they will come
back, go in and give up swarning.
Sometimes have three or four swarms
day. AS fast as they swarm cut out
queen cells, so as to be ready to double
up all swarms that come. l had thirty
four swarms the past season and doubled
up all but one that l hived. | am fifty

A Good Bean Crop.

Now that improved methods Of har.
resting have relieved the severe back
aching labor incident to pulling beans,
they may be grown on larger scale with
less forebodings. They are best grown
on level, dry land of heavy texture, but
cultivated until it makes mellow seed
bed. Too much growth of top is the
danger from heavy manuring with stable
manure. Mineral fertilizers are best for
this crop, and on a clover ley plowed
after the clover has nearly got in blossom
the yield is often twenty-five to thirty
bushels per acre. 1t pays better than
wheat, but needs frequent alterations
with clover to maintain fertility, as the
bean crop is an exhaustive one.-Ameri-
can Cultiyator.

Ammonia in Manure.

The prevalent idea that manure con-
tains much ammonia is pronounced by
an English authority as without founda-
ton. 1t is explained that the elements
of which ammonia is formed during de-
composition, viz, nitrogen and hydro
gen, are to be found in manure, but as
decomposition is very slow process the
ammonia is very slowly evolved. As it
is produced it is in the form of gas, which
is dissolved in the water existing in the
manure, or it combines with the abun-
dant carbonic acid evolved during the de-
composition and forms carbonate of am.
monia. 1t is very rare that any ammonia
can be detected escaping from a manure
heap. The fetid odor of manure pile
is not caused by ammonia, but by COM
pounds of sulphur and carbon, the same
as those evolved by decaying eggs and
rotten cabbages. The ammonia of ma
nure is very slowly disengaged, requir-
ing year or more before it is all pro-
duced and evolved, and as the soil absorbs
it freely there is scarcely any danger OF
any loss of this valuable part of the ma
nure as it is commonly used. The pun
gent odor of a horse stable is caused y
the escaping Of ammonia. and farmers
lose more of this element of manure in
this way in one warm night from an I'm.
clean horse stable than from their ma
nure heaps in year. A pound of am.
monia in manure is worth seventeen
cents, and ton of manure produces in
all only twelve pounds of it, according
to the authority quoted.

Hot Water Treatment for Smut.

Hot Water Treatment for Smut.
The hot water treatment for smut in
oats consists in immersing the seed that
is infected with smut for a few minutes
in scalding water. The temperature
must be such as to kill the smut spores
and the immersion must not be SO pro-
longed that the heat will injure the germ
of the seed. AS practiced and recon.
mended by the Kansas station, the tenn
perature Of the water must be allowed te
vary but little from 1925 degs., in no
case rising higher than 1876 degs., nor
falling lower than 1870 dogs. The plan
suggested is to provide two kettles over
fire or two boilers on cook stove, one
containing warm water, say 110-13O. the
other 1929 degs. The first is for the pur.
pose of warming the seed preparatory to
dipping it into the second, otherwise it
will be difficult to keep the water in the
second vessel at proper temperature.
The seed, is confined in a wire basket
that will allow the hot water to pass in
and out readily as the basket is lowered
and lifted, which should be done eight
or ten times during the immersion, which
should be continued fifteen minutes. AT
the end of that time cold water is dashed
over the seed or it is dipped into vessel
of cold water and then spread out to dry.
Other portions of the seed are treated in
the same way. The temperature of 1925
dogs. is maintained by adding hot or cold
water as may be required
