Honey Rec Gleap,ne..

Among those who have tried it, there
is probably no difference of opinion as to
the value of foundation that has been on
the hive the previous year and left un-
touched by the bees. While the bees
viii generally use it, they will not use it
so readily as fresh foundation.
Many aparians affirm that young bees
are factor in successful wintering.
A Tennessee aparian says that the sue
cess of the beekeeper lies in having only
strong colonies to gather honey, the
stronger the better. Concentrate that
strength. Instead of running the same
bees in two hives run them in one, and
it brings in the surplus. 1t takes but
few bees to run a brood chamber and
make colony sufficient to winter over,
but three to five times as many are need
ed before they can do good work in the
supers.
Mrs. Harrison says that when bees
have poor stores, such as honey dew or
Juice OF fruits, they are safer on their
summer stands than in cellar, for dur
ing a warm spell they can void their
fmces.

half inch bolt passing down through both;
then a inch board CD is cut on the
angle of each rafter and thoroughly
nailed on each side.
There should be similar piece nailed
near the peak. This comes handy to
hang hay carriers on. 1t will be readily
seen when the four pieces that make
pair of rafters are in place the tendency
is to go out instead of down, where the
purlines would come, and as the purline
is put in to hold the roof from sagging
the writer who describes it does not see
any use for it in this style of roof. He
says in explanation: In order to have the
roof sag at the joint in the rafter, it
would have to give way at peak or plate.
You secure them there and the center
jeint will never sag. The pitch of the
roof should be for lower part five feet
rise to three feet run. The upper should
be about quarter pitch-never one-third.
There are several roofs of this style in
this section, and they are giving good
satisfaction.

Dramatic Suicide.

"How Frenchr was probably the ex-
clamation of most people when they
read of the dramatic suicide of the young
woman at Clichy, France, the other day.

visitors to Versailles was crossing the
Seine she stood on parallel bridge,
wavirg French and Russian flags, and
shouting: 81 see and l die. Long live

was drowned. When her body was re-
covered IT was found that she was cloth
ed only in garments made out Of French
and Russian hags.-New York Tribune.

Great Value of Ensilage.

Evidence is constantly accommodating
that the undoubted great value of ensil-
age in progressive farming is not due to
any mysterious action of the silo upon
the fodder, but is an economic advantage
arising from the facts, first, that the
corn crop produces very large amount
of food per acre, and second, that the
silo preserves this food with compare
lively little loss in a palatable and sue
culent condition, SO that it is eaten with
little OF no waste.

A puTcAMAN AoopooEp.
A willy Negro Doctor" Pulled Up In
south Carolina Court.


south Carolina Court.
The famous hoodoo doctor, Peter Da-
Wis, colored, of Columbia, has had pre-
liminary hearing before Trial Justice
Brunson on the charge of fraud and OBJ
tanning money under false pretenses.
The victim was a Dutchman named
Hohler, who farms several miles from
here.
The examination was very interesting
and quite amusing, Mr.. Charles g..
Dantzler representing the Dutchman
and Mr.. Henry H. Brunson of the firm
Of Izlar, Lathrop & Brunson appeared
in behalf of the hoodoo. Hohler APP
peared to be completely Disguised with
the treatment of hoodoos. In his testi-
mony he said among other things that
Peter had given him graveyard dirt" to
distribute around his farm, telling him
that he would make a large crop by
using the mystic dirt freely Hohler
used the dirt, "but," said he, your
honor, plant 10 acre and make only one
bale cotton"
Peter at another time sold the Dutch
man some dead mems powder" which
was guaranteed to make Hohler's some
what poor, but not sick, mule lively.
'Your honor" said hevery mad Dutch
man." after l gif NIT him de medicine
he lie down in de road wild me and my
wife on de way home, and he neffer been
such mule as he vas before ven l bot
him from Henry Won Ohsen." Hohler
got gourd and some powders from old
Peter on another occasion. These he
was to use for the general allround health
Of his family He was to scrape the seed
from the gourd at 12 o'clock one night,
and at 10 o'clock the next night he was
to sweep his yard clean and sprinkle the
seed around the house. The gourd was
to be filed with 10 drops of water Of a
peculiar hoodoo kind and some other
fluid, then hung up in the house.
In summing up his testimony HohleI
said that doctor" Peter had robbed him
Of his crop, made his mule lie down in
the road when he promised to make the
mule lively, and had made all his "fami
lY sicker than dey vas before dey took
de medicine" Such was about the gist
of the complaints that the DutchmaI
had to make against the hoodoo. Peter
was put under bond of 5000 to appear
at the next court of general sessions fol
this county. -Orangeburg Cor. Charles

Mr. MISUNDERSTANDING of the mystic

erything occurred just as he foretold.

At the Vermont Station.

In a report from the Vermont agricul-
tural station some interesting facts about
corn and harvesting it in cold climates
are given. If corn is grown from the
silo, it can be grown closer to the time Of
frosts without danger and with an in
crease in the feeding value. In fact,
the longer the corn is growing the more
it increases in weight of dry matter, and
the more valuable it becomes, but the
dry matter begins gradually to decrease,
owing to the escape of heterogeneous mate
rial. Green corn fodder weighs the most
when the ears begin to glaze, but this is
largely wet matter and not dry matter.
After this period the dry matter steadily
increases.

DESCRIBE YOUR FRIEND.

And Then See How Well Your Picture VIII
Fit Scores OF Others.
He was young man and fairly good
looking; smooth face and without
glasses; wore dark suit; was about 8
feet in height and looked like married
man. Anybody would know him." Such
was the description turned in by a young
woman who slipped quietly into the city
editors Office and wanted to advertise
for Chalmers. 1t appeared that Chalmers
had left home, and nobody knew why,
and this young woman had faith that
her recital of his personal traits would
bring him back. 1t was good example
of the average persons power of descrip-
ton of fellow being.
1t is totally inadequatel Though man
be fearfully and wonderfully made,
there seems to be an unaccountable in
ability in nine persons out of every ten
to give a creditable word picture of any
one whom they have seen. Because we
understand the looks of person when
we meet them, it never occurs to the
mind that other people do not grasp
thorough idea of his appearance with
few passing phrases of description.
Your friend comes in, and you ex.
pound to him that such and such mar
has just called for him, but almost in
variably your exposition is a jumbled lot
of phrases which apply to the human
race in general.
The other day when ! rushed into my
Office room with column story on the
end of my tongue-or at the tip of my
pen, to be more accurate was given
this greeting:
"Hellol A man has just been in to see
YOU"
"What did he look hkeT
ooh, he was a good looking fellow
not very tall, rather heavy, but not too
much So"
''Was he old or young?"
about 20 or %, should say"
What color of hair?n
II don't remember now. However,
don't think he had a mustache."
"How dressed?'
''Oh, just an ordinary business suit"
Have you ever heard such descrip.
ton? If not. watch yourself next time
you tell of some ones call. You will be
surprised to find that your description
would fit almost any member of the
human race.
Why is itY
/ don't know. We read in books that
it's because we don't cultivate the habit
Of intelligent observation.
There was once boy who learned
how to describe what he saw Every
morning he was sent by his father to
walk rapidly by an elegantly arranged
window, and then afterward to repeat
to him all the things he saw at this one
glance at the panorama and to describe
them. a. first the lad could remember
but few things that his eye may have
caught in the passing glance, but in time
he could remember almost everything
in show window by merely seeing II
