Bees and Bee Hives.

While movable-frame hives have
revolutionized Bookkeeping in the
hands of those who learn how to use
them, says writer, ] believe that,
to the masses of farmers who have
tried them. they have been an. injury
rather than benefit. In those parts
of our country where they have been
most largely introduced, the number
Of farmers who keep bees has most
largely decreased. At the same time
the important services which the
bees perform make it very desirable
that few hives, at least, should be
kept on almost every farm.
/ believe that most farmers would
have better success with their bees
if they used only the old straw or box
hives. A simple tool in the hand of
one who knows how to use it will
turn out much better work than an
improved implement whose proper
use has never been learned. The cid
straw hive is the simple tool. Before
the advent Of the bee-moth. with
such hives nearly every farmer kept
bees; and as the Introduction of the
Italian bee has done away with all
serious trouble from the moth, there
IS nothing to prevent them from do
ing so now. With these old-fash-
toned hives, the women and the chill
dren can do most of the work, and
bee-keeping, like poultry-raising. will
be their special province and profit.
Aside from learning how to hive the
new swarms. little knowledge is
needed. After the honey-gathering
is over, all the hives were carefully
"hefted;" the extra light ones were
condemned to be ''taken up" as not
having stores enough to winter; the
extra heavy ones also, for the value
of their honey, while a sufficient
number Of well-provisioned stocks
were kept for seed. 1t was easy to
show that. to allow the light stocks
to die Of starvation, as is now prac-

Improvement of the Soil.

The foundation of good farming
lies in the constant improvement of
the soil; there is no theory that can
take the place of this. While it may
appear satisfactory to secure good
crops, if it is done at the cost of fer
tility, or drawing from the soil more
than is applied, it is what might be
called personal robbery. The work
upon the farm should be planned
with reference to lettering the con-
dition Of the land while at the same
time crops are being yielded. Manure
is the strong hold for the farmer. and
if he is without this, and dependent
upon commercial fertilizers, he
has an uphill road to travel. The ne
cessity of stable manure as a divlsor
of the soil by its mechanical influ-
ence cannot be oyerestimated. and in
case this cannot be employed, the
next best thing will he to make use of
green crops as the nearest substitute.
If a soil is poor at the start by judi
cious rotation of crops and green
crop manuring, the soil may be i'm
proved, crops secured, fed, and man.
ure secured. SO that after time
change may be effected in the system
and general improvement secured.

1t is sign that the stable is not

Boys and Girls Ruled by Kindness and
Taught Useful Trades.

Taught Useful Trades.
DR.. J. c. Grasse made trip to Chehalis
Sunday, and while there visited the state
reform school. He gives the following
account of his visit:
Professor Wessendof, superintendent
of the institution, received me very cor
daily and told me all about his method of
handling his large family of sixty boys
and four girls, and showed me through
the different departments. He seemed to
be thoroughly fitted for his work and
greatly enjoys rejecting on his success.
The girls have q separate department
over the superintendent residence, so
they do not come in contact with the boys,
except in general way at services, etc.
The boys make all the shoes and clothing
for the institution. and. with theassistance
of two or three men, have cleared large
piece of ground, probably ten acres
around the institution. They work three
or four hours every day and have regular
school hours also. They seem to be
greatly interested and many of them
expressed entire satisfaction with their
mode of life. Professor Wessendof has the
faculty of keeping them interested. He
gives boy a chance to improve himself
in any study he shows taste for. For in
stance, he found several of them possessed
a taste for music, and he organized two
quartettes and had them sing at concerts
in the town. The people were delighted
with them. Now he proposes to get them
some instruments. In similar manner
he handles his whole flock, and rules with
kindness and intelligent guidance instead
of force.
''He says he has perfect confidence in
almost every one of his boys and would
trust them under almost any circum-
stances; that some of those who were re-
ported To be the hardest characters when
they went there actually turned out to be
the brightest and best boys in the institu-
ton. OF the whole number of inmates

the most originally clever piece of its
