Location of an Apiary

Much depends upon the location of the
apiary. While it must be kept somewhere
near, in order to be convenient, where it
can be looked after, yet we should choose
sheltered location, out Of the wind, if
possible. Many put their hives in the
orchard, and many more place theirs along
some fence row. Among the trees in the
orchard will do very we'll provided the
trees are not too shady, and Judgment Is
used IN locating the hives. 1t will not do to
place them under the trees where they will
be shaded all the time. IF they can be
placed so the shade will be on them from
twelve to about two or three o'clock it is
we'll enough. But the colonies will if
placed in the shade all the time, and as a
colony is usually, or should be, placed for
the season, the matter of shade should be
watched when setting then. out. Sun
light and the warmth it gives, are very
essential agents In building up the colon
les in the spring. The best location is on
a southern slope where there is protection
on the north and west sides from the wind,
and place the colonies seven feet apart
each way, set them in the sun without
any shade. In such a location shade
boards must be provided through the
months of July and August, without fail,
and an apiary in such location will
breed up faster and seem to do better than
if shaded The apiary should be fenced
in with at least four barked wires. Make
it tight enough to keep out calves and it
should be so arranged as to keep out all
kinds of stock. The weeds and grass
should be kept down. | had the best,

A STORY OF THE DAY.
Electrical Experiments of Volta and Gal
vani Oh the Muscles of the Frog.

To electricians and scientists Volta and
GatvanI are familiar names; liz fact, thev
are known to the Url2arned as they have
become incorporated ia the Ian uage and
are uttered almost daily. The two men
were contemporaries and carried on some
of their experiments together. It was in
1890 that Galvani made his most ceiebrat-
ed discovery. His attention was accident
ally called to the muscular contractions of
frog which had been recently killed and
skinned and was lying on table near an
electric Il machine, which by chance was
set to work. Thinking that possibly sim
liar contractions might be obtained from
atmospheric electricity he suspended the
thigh of frog by means of a hook from
an iron railing and found the contraction
wbentv the muscle touched the railing.
From this he assumed that the nerves and
muscles of tie animal body formed kind
Of Leyden jar which was discharged
whenever an external circuit brought
them into electrical contact. Volta
thought this possible but by experiment.
ing further he finally came to the conciu-
sion that the muscle Of the frog was
nothing more than a very delicate electro.
meter and he made use Of it as such.
Gradually he formulated his famous con-
tact theory and constructed what is known
as Volta's electric pile. Volta made great
advances in his knowledge of electricity
and some of his theories are accepted to
this day He might have gone on and
made still more important discoveries
had his knowledge of mathematics been
more adequate, but he had to stop and
confess himself baffied. Volta died March
5, 1925.

Detroit Fire-Bugs Arrested.

DETROIT, Mich, March 28.-The
police late last night arrested John and
William Bloom and Edward Daniels,
their brother-in-law. 1t is believed by
the authorities that these are the men
who have been setting the numerous
fires which have caused so much dam
age recently. The men were caught
in the act of kindling fire in a furni-
ture factory, and matches and oiled
rags were found on their persons.

EARLY Peas

The very early smooth peas and the mar
rowfats can be planted in the spring as
early as the ground is free FROM frost and
can be worked Plant three to four inches
deep. The finer varieties, the blue and
green wrinkled peas, are more tender and
should not be planted until the ground has
warmed somewhat, though it must ue re
membered that an early sowing produces
an early crop. By selecting warm, dry
spot and sowing not more than three inches
deep safety and earliness may both be Sc
cured

Little Things .

The Advance well says: "a tongue is
little thing but it fills the universe with
trouble. A cross word is a little thing,
bat it is what stirs up the elephant. An
orange-peel on the sidewalk is a little
thing, but it has upset many a giant. A
word is little thing, but word has been
many mans destiny for good or evil.
The acorn is little thing, but the black
bear and his family live in the oak that
gprang from it.

senator CulIom's Presidential Boom

WASHINGTON, March 28.-Much is to

The Senator seems to be doing nothing
TO help it and the impression prevails
that he is letting 1T go by the board.
Senator Cullom says he did nothing
to bring his boom into the world is
doing nothing to maintain it and while
he does not intent to be responsible for
the destruction Of it's life he will not at
this time withdraw. 1t is. however,
expected that the Senator will make a
statement to this effect very soon.
1t is generally believed that Senator

FARM NOTES.
Keep the Cellar Clean,

If a cellar is naturally damp a little
quicklime will dry it better than anything
else. 1t is not a substitute for good
drainage, out most cellars under houses
are too damp even after the drain has
carried IF surp' us water. The lime also
absorOs odors of decaying vegetables, and
thereby adds to the healthfuIness of the
rooms above ground.

President several of the owners claimed that
the condemnation and appraisement of the
1850 acres, indicated by the map originally
filed by the park commissioners, required an
approval of the awards by him as an entirety;
that the park act did not authorize the APP
proval Of park of less extent than the one
originally mapped out. The park commission
ers having petitloned for permission to pay into
the registry of the court the amount of the
awards approved by the President this conten-
ton of the owners received an adverse decision.
and the court on the 9th of this month granted
the petition of the park commissioners and di-
rected that the money be paid into court. The
commissioners at once drew a warrant upon the
Secretary of the Treasury'for the amount but
at the request Of Mr.. Holman, chairman of the
House District committee, he has SO far with
held its payment.
Exclusive of the roads in the park as now
constituted it is of 1.371. S13 acres of which
203.0 s4 acres were purchased at private sale for
Sl96 .647.75. This amount has been paid. The
tracts to be purchased. the money for which has
been directed to be paid into court, comprise
total acreage of 1,16S.129. the approved ap-
praisement of which amounts TO SS45. 040 10.
There have been appraised and approved Is. AGO
acres of roads, the valuation of which was fixed
at 81. $685.. Hence it will be seen that the
1.39O213 acres comprising the park involves an
expenditure of 81 .049. $50. 10 leaving balance
of $50. 1850. Of course this would not be the
actual balance, for several thousand dollars
have been expended for the current expenses of

minished park four tracts of land have been ac-

THE ROCK CREEK PARK.
A List Giving the Acreage and Owner of
Each Tract Taken.

The above map is one showing the much-dis-
cussed and the long and bitterly fought Rock
Greek Park revised by the park commission
ers- The park, inclusive of the land purchased,
the tracts to be purchased, the awards for
which have bee. approved by the President
and sustained by repeated decisions of the
Court in General Term of the District of Co
3umbia, an also of the roads within its bound
aries, comprises a ira I Of 1,390.273 acres lying
on either side of Rock creek between Klingle
Ford bridge and point short distance this
side Of the District line. The park origi-
Ially laid out one OF i, $50 acres, but when
the report of the commission appointed under
the park act to sppraise the land was made
1t was discovered that the amount named
by them, together with that already
expended exceeded. the 81 200 000appropriated.
Hence. when the President on the 18th of last
month issued an order approving the awards Of
the appraisers the awards for several OF the
tracts were omitted in order that the purpose
of the act might not be defeated. In other
words. that park might be secured. the cost
of which would not exceed the appropriation.
