small Fruit-GrOwing.

small uit-GrOwing.
In the vicinity of many small
towns there are good openings for
growing and marketing small fruits.
The grower should plant good vari-
ETY. of strawberries, raspberries,
blackberries, grapes, currants and
gooseberries, as the longer he is in
the market the better he can sup
ply the wants of his customers.
1t will be a help in this if in addi-
ton to the different kinds he has
two or more varieties, one early and
one late, and in some cases a medi-
UNI variety in order to prolong the
season as much as possible. One
advantage with the home grower is
that with good care his fruit can be
put into the consumers hands in
better, fresher condition and at
less cost than if shipped in.
AS with many other things con-
nected with farming the better plan,
usually, is to start on small scale
and gradually increase as success
and the business warrant.
In order to sell cheaply it is essen
tial to grow them cheaply. AS an
aid to this prepare the soil in good
filth before planting, blowing and
narrowing until this condition is
secured.
The soil should be reasonably
rich, and if not so should be made
so by the use of manure applied
after blowing and worked thorough
ly into the surface. In order to
lessen the cost of giving the neces-
sary cultivation it will be best to
plant in long rows far enough apart
to admit of using the cultivator.
Strawberries should be in rows 3
feet apart, currents and gooseberries
A feet, blackberries and raspberries
feet, and grapes 8 feet apart. On
the farm it is always best to give
the plants plenty of room. Allow
for the plants to grow and spread.
Planted in this way they can be
cultivated as readily as corn or po-
tatoes.
One advantage with the business
is that few acres of land will keep
man employed and is work well
suited to man of small means who
desires to make start.
Many farmer can add consider
ably to the farm income by growing
a small patch of fruits, not making
speciality of them, but growing
them with other crops.
A supply of good fresh small
fruits at reasonable prices in any of
the smaller towns will help mate
rally to increase consumption and
in a short time good trade may be
built up. The fact that in many
places more or less fresh fruit is
shipped in often from long distances
and sold at high prices is sufficient
evidence of a market.

Notes for Beekeepers.


hives.
If honey is heated too much its
favor will be destroyed.
Comb honey will often have blue
or mouldy color in cold weather.
Unite all weak colonies that will
beunable to build into strong stocks.
Bees secrete wax only when nee
essary to make storage for honey or
brood.
To increase the stock of bees as
much as possible manage to have a
surplus of queens as early as possible
Foul brood is so fatal and conta-
gious that if once it gets started the
safest remedy is to burn the infested
hives as soon as the disease is dis
covered
An oversupply of drones is objec-
tionable, as they consume honey
and do not lay up any stores. The
number can be controlled by using
worker comb.
Sunshine in winter is of no spec
ial advantage unless it be on days
warm enough for the bees to fly.
At other times it is rather injurious
than beneficial.
If any of the hives die out during
the winter any honey they leave
should be removed, as leaving it in
the hive may get the bees in the
other hives to robbing.
AS with many other kinds of
work it requires experience to man
age large number of bees properly.
A beginner without experience
should start on a small scale.
One advantage with closed end
frames is that hive may be hand
led as though it were single piece
and one is not obliged to stop and
space the frames every time the hive
is handled.
Empty combs are valuable and
should receive the best of care as
there is nothing that will help en-
large the honey crop so rapidly as
a supply of good empty combs.
They should, however, never be left
in the empty hives.
The colony of bees selected espec-
tally for breeding should be kept
strong and healthy at all times. 1t
is not necessary to rear queens in
the same colony in which the breed
ing queen is kept. All that is need
ed of her is to produce the eggs.
Drone-laying queens are worth
less in every respect, for the drones
they produce are deficient. The
male bees may be well developed,
but they are understood. Being
Matched in worker cells is consider
ed as mainly the reason for this.
The life of a bee depends largely
upon the work it does. When it
works the hardest it's life is the
shortest. In the busiest season 45
days may be considered the limit,
while through the winter, when the
bees are inactive, they may live
seven or eight months.
In cutting out queen cell very
sharp and thin-bladed knife should
be used. Cut around the cell at
the sides and bottom, if attached,
some little distance from the cell,
and at the top cut out good-sized
piece of comb, three times as large
in diameter as the cell.

THE LITTLE THINGS THE MOST
VALUABLE.

Comparatively few people regard themselves
as inventors. but almost everybody has been
struck. at one time or another, with ideas that
seemed calculated to reduce some of the little
frictions of life. Usually such ideas are dis
missed without further thought.
why don't the railroad companies make its
car windows so that they can be slid up and
down without breaking the passenger S backs7"
exclaims a traveller. IF were running the
road would make them in such a way"
What was the man who made this sucepan
thinking OFF, grumbles the cook HE never
had to work over the stove, or he would have
known how it ought to have been fixed"
Hang such a collar. buttonl' growls the man
who is late for breakfast ''If / were in the
business I'd make buttons that wouldn't slip
out, or break off. or gouge out the back of my
neck"
And then the various sufferers forget about
their grievances and begin to think Of some
thing else. II they would sit down at the next
convenient opportunity, put their ideas about
car windows, saucepans. and collar buttons in
to practical shape. and then apply for patents
they might find themselves as Independently
wealthy as the man who invented the iron UNI
brella ring. or the one who patented the fifteen
puzzle.

NOT SO HARD As 1T SEEMS.

A patent strikes person as an appallingly
formidable thing. The idea is that an inventor
must be a natural genius. like Edison or Bell;
that he must devote years to delving in compli-
Gated mechani,a problems. and that he must
spend fortune on delicate experiments before
he can get new device to a patentable degree
of perfection. This delusiOn the company de-
sires to dispel It desires to get into the head
OF the public a clear comprehension of the fact
that 1t is not the great complex, and expensive
inventions that bring the best returns to their
authors. but the little. simple and cheap ones
the things that seem so absurdly trivial that
the average citizen would feel somewhat
ashamed of bringing them to the attention of
the Patent Office.
Edison saws that the profits he has received
from the patents on all his marvellous invent
ions have not been sufficient to pay the cost of
his experiments. But the man who conceived
the idea of fastening bit of rubber cord to
childs ball, so that it would come back to the
hand when thrown, made fortune out of the
scheme. The modern sewing machine is mi
racle of ingenuity-the product of the toll of
hundreds of busy brains through a hundred
and fifty years. but the whole brilliant result
rests upon putting the eye of the needle at the
point instead of at the other end.

day houses are visited by rough charac-
teTs who demand food or money.
There appears 70 have been a new con-
tinCont arrived in the city within the last
few days, ana they have made them
selves nuisance to people on the streets
by demands for money.
Martin keegan, painter, reported
yesterday that on Tuesday night, about
9 o'clock, three fellows garroted him on
Third street near J, but were put to
flight by some men who ran to the spot
when he called for help.
A new plan that the thieves have
adopted is to hang about the residence
portions of the city and question chill
dren concerning their fathers employ
ment, his salary, etc. The object is, of
course, to inform themselves as to he
opportunities offered for garroting men
or the prospect of finding money in the
houses.
The new police officers are all men of
experience, and should have no difficulty
in finding out who these fellows are
Other people can tell a vagrant yards
away, and the average policeman should
be able to do at least as well.
