colder water that is thus afforded in the
heat of summer and in freedom from
continual freezing of the pump during
the "cold snaps" Of northern winters.
The accompanying design from The
Country Gentleman illustrates that a
wellhouse can be made of more than
this practical value. It can be made to
add an attraction to country place pro-
viding taste is displayed In It's construc-
ton.
The design herewith calls for an octag-
onal house with ''dishing" roof, which
Is shingled and stained. The sides may
be of matched boards Of equal width,
beaded, over which vines may be trailed
The foundation wall should be solid, to
prevent the entrance of toads, insects,
etc., to the well, which may be reached
by making portion of the wellhouse
floor removable. a few shrubs near such
house will add to its attractiveness.

A. B. G. of Bee Culture He says: First
with a screwdriver or cold chisel we go
around to each hive, puff little smoke
in at the entrance and pry the body
loose from the bottom board, as it will
always be stuck down with propolis It
may yield with little snap, and 1t will
be necessary to use little smoke to
make the bees behave. The bottom
boards all loosened, with an assistant
and couple of hive carriers we proceed
to carry the bees into the cellar.
It is to be observed that our hive car
riers are simply couple Of lengths OF
wire bent in the shape Of letter V, an
ordinary wooden pail handle being slip
ped through to the middle of the wire.
Both ends are bent down in the shape
shown in the cut in the enlarged view.
The ends are then bent in the form Of
hook so as to catch on the bottom board.
Now, then, to pick up the hives and
carry them into the cellar we lift the
front end Of the bottom board up lit
tie and slip the hooks of the hive car
rier under. In like manner we catch
the rear end of the bottom board, when
the hive is picked up as shown in the
cut, bottom board and all. We then
proceed to the cellar and deposit the
hive near the place where 1t is supposed
to stay through the winter. Along on
two sides Of the cellar we have previous
ly laid scantling, say, IA or 10 inches
apart, depending Of course upon the
length Of the hive We then pick the
hive just brought In up by the hand
holes, lift 1t off its bottom and lay it at
one end on top Of the scantling and lay
the bottom board in one corner Of the
cellar.
In like manner we bring in another
colony, lift it off the bottom board and
deposit 1t by the side of the other colony,
leaving inches between, and so on. We
bring In other colonies until the scant-
lings are covered with hives inches
apart We are now ready to commence
another tier ON top. The next hive that
is brought is piled on top Of two others
in such way that the bottom covers the
space between two hives below, and so on
we pile the rows Of the hives. The next
tier is followed up in the same manner,
until we have three or more tiers high,
each hive placed over the intervening
space between the two below.

shall be clean, bright, long, sound,
pressed in bundles, well and securely
baled. The bales of straw are usually
larger than those of hay, and few if any
are baled with the perpetual presses.
Many of them have wood in the bales
No. 3 rye straw must possess the same
requirements as No. 1, except that it is
not pressed in bundles. Both these
grades should be free from chaff. This
straw is used largely by horsemen for
bedding, by florists and nurserymen for
packing flowers, plants and trees and to
a less extent for other purposes.
The exchange has given but one grade
of oat straw, and all not filing the re-
quirements laid down for this grade
would have to be sold on its merits.
These requirements are that it shall be
clean, bright, sound, well and securely
baled. 1t is possible TO bale this more
tightly than rye straw, but the bales
usually seen vary little from the others
in size. 1t is used largely for packing
purposes for such goods as crockery,
glassware, etc.
Wheat straw is not graded, but differs
but little from oat in the conditions to
be met. 1t is used for much the same
purposes and usually sells for about the
same price. The market reports gener-
ally quote short rye straw in addition to
No. / and No. 2. This is such as Is not
long enough to be classed in either of
the other grades, but otherwise must fill
the requirements for them.

Mr.. Herbert Spencer recently put very
neatly the distinction between sport as
an amusement and as an occupation.
Dropping in at his club, he met young
friend, who invited him to play game
of billiards. The philosopher led off and
left the balls in good position for his
opponent, who dexterously ran out, not
allowing his companion another shot.
Then the young expert naturally looked
at the philosopher for the customary
compliment, but the loser Of the game
said, very seriously, after depositing his
cue in the rack, ''Sir, a certain pro-
ficiency in such a sport as this is sign
of a good education of the eye, the
nerve, the hand, but the mastership of
billiards which you have exhibited could
have been acquired only by an i'll spent
youth. London Life.

Rare American Coins.

Coin collectors have long appreciated
the difficulty of making a complete col
lection Of American specimens. The
United States coinage Of 1893 is very rare
and dollar of the year 1894 has often
sold for as much as 800. A 1895 hall
cent is so rare as to sell readily for $40,
and half dollar Of the same year if
worth go times its original value. While
the half cent of 1904 Is common enough,
all the other coins Of that year are rare,
the dollar of that particular date being
the rarest Of all American coins. Only
eight are known to exist out of the
1850 that were coined. The lowest
price that one of these now changes
hands for is $S00.-London News.

The loss Of fruits and vegetables In
storage is Of not infrequent occurrence.
To lose ones supply OF potatoes or APP
Piles is a serious matter, Sometimes the
loss is due to storing in bad condition.
Potatoes and apples, In fact every fruit
or vegetable, should not be stored away
while damp, Dampness favors rot.
Fruits and vegetables are best stored in
some dry, airy outbuilding until the inn
minent approach Of freezing weather
makes 1t necessary to put them In the

open sides, and there should be free

call blue Mondsy-that is, they do not

the customary exercise, the man sits
