BEES AND HONEY.

Gleanings i'll Bee Culture recon-
mends n mixture of white lead and
zinc for painting beehiyes, putting on
first coat Of lead as a primer, then
mixing lead and zinc finish the paint
ing. This paint will not flake off as
either lead or zinc will do fused sepa-
rotely.
II REQUIRES about 5000 bees to make
q pound weight Some tests are re
ported by Professor Koons in the Clean
ings. in which by careful estimates the
number of bees varied from 414l TO
1865. The average of these figures
was 1882. Swarms of bees vary from
four to nine pounds, but are usually
between four and FIVE pounds. or be-
tween 10000 and $4,000 bees.
Bees do not rob while honey is
plentiful They will not rob other
bees during a temporary shutdown Of
work from storm or other cause. They
like "day Off as humans do, but
after twenty-four hours they are i'm
patient to go to work. Ii there is no
honey for them to gather there will be
liability that they will take to rob
bing
A correspondent Of Gleanings ia
Bee Culture does not believe that
robbing bees permanently retain this
bad habit. The saying "once robber
always Il robber' has no truth III it.
Ii honey flowers become plentiful the
robber bees will go to work again.
But it must he added that when rob
bers once get the notion of attacking
a weak hive it had better be destroyed,
as it is nearly impossible to keep them
from it thereafter.

SomnambuIIsiic Cat.

4 sOmnambulistic Angora cat is the
strange possession Of IA Germantown
family. The cat, which is very valu'
able animal, developed tendency a
few months ago to walk abroad at
night, u dissipation that previously
had been entirely foreign to the nature
of that most aristocratic feline. Every
effort of the family to keep the cat Mt
home failed One night about two
weeks ago the man of the house
watched the cat as it lay asleep on a
dainty cushion in the parlor. Sud
denly the cat arose and started for the
door. The man caught the cat and
shook it roughly. The cat scrambled
about and screamed rs human SOM
nambulist would do, and afterward lay
trembling violently. Several times
since the cat has been caught i'll the
same way, and each time showed con-
clusively that it was confirmed sleep
walker. Philadelphia Record.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Ducks generally lay at night OF very
early in the morning.
At seven or eight years COWS are at
their most profitable age
A sick fowl is nuisance, but many
sick fowls are calamity.
The chickens from stolen nests are
generally strong and lively.
Cows should be MIXED daily at the
same time and by the same person.
Dust fowls we'll with insect powder,
to be had at any drug store, to kill
lice
A little carbolic acid added to the
whitevash will kin the lice in the hen
house.
TO harvest barley successfully begin
carly, while the grain is comparatively
green.
II is said that when COWS are fed Oh
bran the cream rises slowly and is hard
to churn
1t is the pampering which pure-bred
fowls get that causes lack of eggs and
infertility.
It is claimed that the slug Of pear
trees and grape leaves may be cxter-
minated with helleborc in weak kcro-
sene emulsion, sprayed on with fine
rose.
Stony land that is unfit FOR anything
else will often raise the best fruit: Do
not let such land lie idle, but plant
something that will at least keep the
weed from growing
The appearance Of vegetables, etc,
from the farm has much to do with the
price which they bring in the market
1t pays to have them look neat when
they are offered for sale.
After the potatoes are dug, throw
the old vines in heaps and burn as
soon as dry enough. In this way spores
of fungus may be destroyed, which
would do much damage another year.
Not only our butter makers bit
cheese makers are beginning TO realize
that = sslable article cannot be pro-
duced from milk from COWS that drink

tall and mature-looking they are worn
longer; but when they are small and
rather childish, the dresses need not
be so long. This is. however, often a
matter of taste with those who have
charge Of their wardrobes.

BLACK TEETH IN SWINE.

symptoms of black teeth in swine
are many, writes correspondent
Loss of appetite with continual squeal-
ing and stunted growth are the first
symptoms with some pigs. | have a
pig which had good appetite, grew
fat and didn't squeal, except when
hungry. that had black teeth. | de-
tected them by weakness in his hind
legs and an enlargement of the joints
1 have seen heavy hogs with their hind
legs nearly ruined by having black
teeth. We knock or pulled out
these teeth then the legs soon get
straight and strong and the hog does
well. once knew farmer who had
at one time five pigs that had lost the
use of their hind legs and were stunted
in growth. He became disguised with
the bad condition of these pigs and
,hot them. He afterward learned that
black teeth caused the trouble Black
teeth are found on both upper and
lower Jaw, front These teeth are
sometimes brown instead of black.
The only remedy-that I know Of for
black teetn is to rid the swine Of them,
and the sooner the better, as no hog
OF pig can thrive and do well that has
them long. As far as my experience
goes black teeth come only once, and
with the pigs. New York Tribune.

A device frequently practiced by per-
sons who wish 70 defrsud the Cove n
ment is called sweating gold coins.
The trick is an old one, and was once
so commonly practicei in England that
T. was made a capital offen'e, and man.
a poor fellow has paid for his greed
with his life. The custom there was
70 shake large number OF gold coins
in a bag for some time, letting them
thus wear each other away. The bag
would then be burned and nugget OF
gold found in the ashes.
At present chcatcrs Of the govern
ment employ swifter and more mod
ern method for removing gold BY
means Of an electric battery a very
small amount OF gold is transferred
from a coin 70 piece Of platinum. OF
course, the amount thus removed must
not be enough - alter the appearance
OF the coin, and il takes many coins
and much work before the fraud can
be made profitable TO the perpetrators.
In those parts OF the country whore

THE DEcoRAT1oN or REps.

In late years it has become very
fashionable to devote much time and
thought to the decoration of beds. The
old-fashioncd white Marseilles spread
is rarely ever seen now-that Is, in
"fashion's giddy circle'-while those
of silk, damosk, cretonno, embroidered
linen and other fabrics take its place.
Pretty and inexpensive spreads may
be made of wide Swiss muslin, with
silesia and trimmed all round with a
graceful fall of lace. A bow or two to
correspond with the lining will also
add a finishing touch. Some OF the
beds arranged in these styles look beau
tiful, but after all to my mind there is
nothing 50 pretty as a pure white
spread and hem-stitohed pillow ships.

There Is plenty of game in New

Red Foxes Too Plentiful.

About fifteen years ago a number OF
red foxes were brought from Kentucky
to Missouri, the object being to furnish
sport for men and dogs. The animals
were turned loose III the vicinity OF
Otterville, Cooper County, and in n
short time ''replenished the earth
to such an extent that all the farmers
except ardent spOrt-lovers regret the
experiment which brought the shrewd
animals here. They have become a
costly nuisance in the destruction of
pigs, lambs, game and poultry, and
what fox hunting is now done is largely
with view to determination. The
sportsmen, according to correspond
ent Of the ST. Louis Republic, soon
discovered that the common hound is
entirely inadequate to the task OF cap
turing foxes, and regular fox hounds
OF the best blood have been imported.
Many tricks were resorted to by which
the foxes evaded their enemies. The
animals had observed that the trains
on the Missouri Pacific Railroad ran
by regularly at the same time each
day. The next time they were dis
turbed they relieved each other altern-
ately in the race until the train was
almost due, when Mr. Fox, taking the
last resort, led the pack slowly toward
the railroad, allowing them to get very
close, and as a consequence the hounds
became very much excited and made q
great deal of noise on the hot trail,
and so could not hear the approaching
train Mr. Fox was 50 accurately on
time that when he struck the track the
fast express was i'll sight The wise
and daring Mr. Fox took mp the
center OF the track toward the
flying engine. and barely hal
time to pass through Il long cut
and jump from the track when the
great engine came stesming and thun-
dering past. No doubt Reynard felt
a sensation Of sweet revenge rs he
leaped safely away, and, glancing
backward, saw the fiery machine dash
down upon his bowling enemies Mr.
Fox no doubt expected complete de-
struction Of his pursuers, but only two
of the dogs were hushed forever
This was encouraging enough for the
scheming trickster TO repeat the
strategy, until many dog was laid
low. Other shrewd tricks have been
resorted TO, but the latest and most
daring was that of q few nights ago.
H. r. Burnett, farmer living in the
vicinity Of these foxes, heard pack
of hounds approaching his house about
midnight They made no halt until
they reached the back door, when
they seemed 10 lose the track entirely.
After several minutes yelping and
diagnosing or some other messing
about the back ward one good, old re-
liable trailer sounded the fresh trail
note at the kitchen door. In mo-
ment the whole pack was at his heels
and all came shifting and believing
through the kitchen, dining and
front room and out at the front win
dow, which happened to be open, and
struck straight for the railroad, as
though they were on fresh trail.
