The Renovation OF Pastures.

This question is continually appear
ing and being answered. The 'phos-
phate Of lime is carried off in the bony
framework of the animals reared on
the land. A three-year-old OK or COW
takes away about fifty pounds of min
eral matter from little over one acre
In three years. Lime or ground rock
salt will not restore this loss. but will
only act as stimulant to drive out the
little phosphate which remains, and
make the land poorer. 1t is obvious
that the best material to restore fer
tility to exhausted pasture land is
broken homes. applied At the rate Of
one hundred pounds per acre for every
two years the land has been pastured.
You may be advised to apply super
phosphate and basic Stag, but both
these are subject to be washed out BY
rain. The rotting of the bones in the
soil increases the amount Of humus by
encouraging earthworms. etc, and
rain will not dissolve and carry IL on.
The use of cake and other concen-
trated foods on the pasture will assist
its restoration. -Colman's Rural World.

Success In the APlasy.
The elements Of success, in the well
managed apiary, are found in the man.
in the bee and in the hive. When the 50
three departments are we'll filled. good
results are assured. Almost all failures
in this enterprise are traced to some
defects in ono or all of these functions.
First, the man. He who controls the
spiary should be . person Of varied

required at his hand; and the man OF

but to become . master quickly in this
art requires some previous aptitude for

All bees, like all men. are not OF

find It true Of all organic life. that pro
longed inbreeding Of the Same blood
diminishes the vital forces, and also
that continual crossing between the
different races improves the stock.
And 90 it is with bees About the
drst mistake the novice makes in start
ing his apiary is the notion that all
bees are alike: and from the old box
hives in tho country, where bees are
cheap and worthless, be seeks his sup.
ply. As he founders along. keeping
bees with hardly pound of honey for
his table. he calls it ''hsrd luck" until
finally his bees hibernate in the sleep
Of death. The trouble is in the bees.
They lack blood. In starting this work

liable breeders, who will furnish us

Houses are for domestic labor and pro-
lection, and they are Of an endless

may answer for the sunny south, but

house of the bees. II . man needs pro-
lection from the blasts of winter, how
much more should this little. tender
creature be we'll sheltered. which, un-
protected, could not stand the cold blast
for two minutes. One point in good
hive. says writer in Maine Farmer,
is to construct it SO as to have the bees
close to their honey. More bees die in
stern winter by being remote from
their stores than nearly all other
causes put together. II bees are win

ness of walls or any dimensions Of hive

A THOUGH you may have had good luck
n with but few failures in making cake and
biscuit in the old-fashioned way with soda and
sour milk, or soda and cream of tartar, you
will have better luck and following directions)
no failures with the Royal Baking Powder
The truth of this must be evident when you
remember that in the leading hotels and res

where the latest and best methods are invari-
ably employed. and where the most beautiful
and dainty food is always set out for the guests.
the Royal Baking Powder is exclusively used
for all quickly risen food.
Royal Baking Powder never disappoints:
never makes sour, soggy or husky food; never
spoils good materials; never leaves Jumps of
alkali in the biscuit or cake while all these
things do happen with the best of cooks who
cling to the old-fashioned methods, or who use
other Baking Powders.
