NEW YORK, Oct. 25.-Although Vice
President Stevenson at O'clock tonight
decided that he was too tired to speak at
Cooper Union with Senator Hill, half an
hour later he decided he would speak az
Brooklyn with Amos j. Cummings.
About 1000 people greeted the Vce-Presi-
dent at the Tivoli hall, Brooklyn. He
hrst thanked those present for the hearty
welcome he received and said he brought
good tdings 20 Brooklyn. Every thug
throughout the country was assuming a
brighter prospect and business was on the
increase. He then went into the tariff
question. Statements had been made al
leging that the question of tariff had
caused the hard times. Tariff reform was
demanded by the people. 1t was
given them and il would result in pros
perity. In one breath the Repub-
lican party accused the Democrats Of
doing too much, and in the next of not
doing enough. He then told his hearers
what the new tariff law would do for the
people. In conclusion he said the party
never recognized any religious class or
sect, which had been an issue by the Re-
publcans in the present campaign.
"All eyes a7e now turned toward the
Empire State" he continued. land in this
hour of peril let the lines be closed and
stand by that matchless leader, David &.
Hill. who at all times and under all cir
cumstances has said, u am Democrat r."

Cleveland. but none of the officers were in
evidence to-day.
Gordeler told DIR. Bryant that he had

Every farmer ought to secure few
hives of bees and increase them as
much as possible They are laborers
for which no wages are required, and
they board themselves with occasional
assistance from their owner when he
has drawn too freely from their stores.
Each swarm should be doubled every
year, and a few stands taken care of
quickly develop into a large colony.
The chief danger is from the moth, but
watchfulness will enable the bees to
keep clear of this pest. If you are
afraid of stings get some colonies of
Italians, as they are less likely to be
touchy. But if treated well, bees never
sting. They cannot afford to do so, as
in most cases the stinger is left in the
flesh and is therefore broken off from
the bees body, making it's death GER

The Caldwell men were the champions

that both sides had made exhaustive

It was decided by the judges that
Rougemont had produced the best

The boys feel quite jubilant because
they have met and defeated the young

Where clover seed is threshed by
hand it is quite common for farmers to
SOW it without cleaning it. If it is
done early enough the clover catch is
often better than from clean seed,
doubtless owing to the slight protection
which the terminated sprout gets from
the claff in which it is enclosed. It is
difficult to tell just how much clover
seed is going on when it is sown in the
chaff Farmers who grow the clover
are those who usually SOW it in this
way. Such farmers are generally
liberal seeders. After clover has been
grown a few years it fills the soil with
scattered seed so that a heavy seeding
is not necessary.
