BEES AND ORCHARDS.
why Every Fruit Grower Should Keep a
Colony of the Insects.

why Every Fruit Grower Should Keep a
Colony of the Insects.
It is simply an aggravated case OF
base ingratitude on the part of the fruit
grower, says Popular Gardening, if he
finds fault with his Bookkeeping neigh
Dor on account of the injury done to
fruit by bees The fruit-grower, in
fact, has no warmer friend, no more
useful agent, than the pollen-carrying,
honey-seeking little insect. The inter
ests of the fruit-grower and bee-keeper,
far from being antagonistic, lie indeed
so nearly'in the same direction that we
urgently advocate the combination OF
the avocations in the same person.
The leading cause of barrenness in
fruit trees and bush fruits is lack OF
proper pollenation, due again, in many
cases, to the absence of the right kind
of pollen, and in others to it's non
transfer from the stamens to the needy
pistils. Many trees are not self-fertil-
izing, either because their own pol
len upon their own pistils has no poten'
cy, or because the pollen is not dis
charged at the time when the pistils
are receptive.
We believe bees are good thing, and
a number of colonies should be kept In
or near every orchard.

AlLING ANIMALS.
Simple Remedies Are Usually Better Thar
Harsh Medicines.

Simple Remedies Are Usually Better Than
Harsh Medicines.
In slight ailments do not resort to
HASH medicines. Frequently little
wood ashes, powdered charcoal, salt OF
epson salts will be all that is needed
besides judicious feeling. If horse
gets wounded, do not become fright
ened or spend your money on veterin-
airy surgeons, unless it is badly
wounded. Apply a weak solution of
carbolic acid to the wound, bruise
or swelling. 1t is safe, cheap and
eficacious. Such simple remedies are
frequently not only all that are
required, but when efficacious they
are very much better than harsher
remedies. On one thing the horse own
er can rely: in nineteen cases out of
twenty he will know just as much
about the disease and the proper treat
ment as the horse doctor who is usually
found in every community. Unless a
man actually knows something of the
anatomy of the animal, of chemistry
and of the effect of drugs, he should
never be employed to treat a sick an
imal. But if we will remember that
all disease results from vio-
lation of the laws of nature,
and will direct our attention to the
proper care of the animal, to the end
that such violation may be avoided, we
shall not SO often have sick animals
upon our hands. Allen very properly
observes that heaves, spavins, blind
ness, broken wind aud most of the dis
with hnrCaC
can usually be traced to improper
usage, neglect or abuse. Even con-
tagious diseases can be warded off with
proper care. When animals have been
neglected the system is run down and
becomes an easy prey to contagious dis
ease.-FarmeIs' Voice.

RECORD IN DEHORNING.


Thirty-One Cows Deprived of Horns ill
Forty Minutes.
l recently dehorned my herd of 81
head in about 40 minutes. There was
no perceptible loss of appetite or
dehorning, my cows were always in
clined to fight more or less, and occa-
sionally l have lost cows from the
effects of this. Now they are as peace
able as sheep. My method was as fol-
lows: first bought spring back bone
saw which, with II rope about 10 feet
long, is all the implement necessary to
perform the operation. Leaving the
cows in the stanohions, | fastened the
rope with a halter-hitch around the
neck and half-hitch ovec the nose,
then l slipped the rope up near the
eyes. then put the rope over the
stanchion occupied by the next COW, 2
distance of about three feet, and drew
the head firmly to one side, having Il
man to hold the rope took the horn
in the left hand and sawed as closely as
possible to the head. After taking off
one of the horns drew the head to the
other side and proceeded in the same
way, turning each COW out as soon as
finished with her. The loss of blood
was slight with few exceptions The
application of tar about a week later
aids in healing the wound 1t is best
to do this before warm weather, when
the flies become troublesome. By this
method there is no danger to man or
beast. am now strong advocate OF
dehorning, for my experience has given
such satisfactory results. j. jerks,

SUMNER PARASOLS.
White Silk, Chiffon, and Muslin Arc NIuc
in Demand.

in Demand.
White really seems to be most promi-
nent, though of course all shades which
can be used in harmony with the pre-
vailing costumes are shown, and what
ever ones fancy may be, it need not go
unsatisfed. But the varieties in white
cover very large field of usefulness.
Among the simplest are those of sheer
white muslin with puff around the
edge, at the top, and around the handle,
which is of natural light-colored wood.
One can also find among the compara-
lively inexpensive parasols plain and
brocaded white silk with dainty ruffles
of lace. Then come marvellous crea-
tions in the greatest variety of delicate
and beautiful materials,-chiffon, COW
cred with puffs and rufiles of the same
material or ruffies of lace of the most
delicate patterns; boiling silk, painted
and lace-trimmed; and finally, the most
expensive, lace alone covers the frame
with tlounce upon hounce, inside and
outside.
Though the white parasols seem con.
spicuous, when one turns to the colors
there is found no lack of variety and
beauty. The most novel effects, in,
deed, are among the colors,, and fol
every use to which a parasol may be
put something may be found among
them. One novelty is the melon-shaped
parasol, which has many ribs and is
covered with silk and fluted grenadine
This, while pretty in itself, will be but
a passing fancy on account of its un
usual shape. Silks in all colors, with
an embroidered edge from six to eight
inches deep, are very attractive. Col
ored silks with fiounces of white lace
are also used, and silks with ruftles anc
puffs of the materials.
In the palmer parasols and sun-um
| brellas intended for more constant use
every shade of silk is used, and frames
! are often covered with material like the
dress, if it is sufficiently light to be suit
able. Gingham and similar material il
frequently employed for parasol covers
and with very pretty effect.
The handles are somewhat longel
than they were last year, and in soml
cases are made so that they can b.
taken apart for packing. They are al
most invariably decorated with puf
like the material of the parasol, bow
of ribbon, or cord and tassel, abou
two thirds of the way down the stick
Whatever decoration is used around th,
handle is often repeated on the stick a
the top of the parasol, The parasol
have not changed much in size since las
seas on-both fancy and plain ones be
| ing of medium size --Demorest.

AN IMPORTANT ITEM.
Have the Tools in Good order and Secure
Clean Harvest.

Have the Tools in Good Order and Secure
Clean Harvest.
An item in making the most of the
crops is clean harvesting 1t seems
poor economy after going to the eX.
pense of preparing the ground, securing
and sowing the seed, and giving the
care necessary to secure good crop, to
waste more or less of it after it is ready
to harvest
Having the tools in good working
order is an important item in doing
this. With the small grains, and clover
and grass cut for hay, it is an impor-
tant item to cut clean and then to see
that it is gathered up clean. Forcing
the machine to run over n portion, or
failing to have the sickle sharp, so as to
leave more or less standing, is loss
that should always be avoided. Having
the ground clean and smooth is an i'm
portant item in cutting clean, as the
cutter bar can be run closer to the
ground. One of the advantages of
rolling the ground in the spring is that
it levels the soil and often crowds rocks
or sticks that would otherwise inter
fere with the work into the ground, 1t
is important to keep the sicltles sharp.
Clean cutting can hardly be done with
dull tools, and it will be u saving on
| the teams as we'll as secure cleaner
work if the sicl1les are kept sharp, and
for this reason in n majority of cases a
good sickle grinder can nearly always
be used to advantage.
Every farmer knows that at best it is
hard, slow work to grind sickle on a
common grind-stone, and If the sickle
is kept in the best condition for cut
ting, something else will be needed,
and a grinder made especially for the
purpose can be made profitable.
A good rake is an essential item in
cleaning up, and will be found a
profitable investment. Cut clean and
then rake clean and the waste will be
materially lessened. The self-binder
has, of course, materially lessened the
waste with wheat and oats, but with
hay as yet the rake must be depended
upon. Prairie Farmer.

Corn for lard, Grass for Meat.

The man who produces the largest
amount of pork at the least cost, and
that of the best quality, will make the
most profit. The chief item in the bill
of cost is feed. Generally, the cheaper
the feed the greater the profit. Corn is
not the cheapest food in this country,
nor does it when fed exclusively make
the best quality of meat for the best
! markets. A varied diet, of which grass
and other green and sueculent prod
nets, containing more fesh-forminR
constituents than corn, will be found
cheaper and to make better pork. Corn
for lard and grass for meat, is the way
we have written it.-Colman's Rural

corded it. But it has another value
equally important in keeping the di-

straw, If made into Il mash with warm
water it is one of the best feeds for
cows to increase the product and value

the effect of running down her con-
dition very rapidly.-Colman's Rural
