The Final SDIurge.

Arthur CUTLER COUGHS story called
"The Pauper" contains the description
of poor old couple who give the last
little entertainment to their friends be-

to be the usual thing for Cornish felix's,
whose hospitality even under the most
disadvantageous circumstances is pro-
verbal. They like to make a splash be-

Ex-Presidents In Politics.

Several of the presidents have remained
in active politics after retirement from
the White House. Buchanan was elected
president at 66 and retired at the age of
70. Tyler was member of the provi-
sional confederate congress at the age of
II. John Adams, at IS years Of age, was
a delegate to the convention for revising
the constitution of Massachusetts. John
Quincy Adams was elected to congress
by the anti-Mason party when hewas a.
and he remained in congress for a period
of II years. He died in the hall of the
house. James Monroe retired from the
presidency at 81, was a regent of the
University of Virginia with Madison and
Jefferson at 68, but declined to serve as
an elector from Virginia at 70 on the
ground that an ex-president should not
be a partisan, but afterward acted as a
local magistrate and was a member Of
the constitutional convention of Vir-
ginia. Andrew Jackson was 70 when he
left the White House. Washington Star,

When bees cannot gather any
thing in the fields they get cross.
Now is a good time to buy bees
to make a start in the business.
They are now practically wintered.
Foundations in the brood cham
Der is great advantage, as by its
use the rearing of drones is largely
prevented.
Do not pay a fancy price for pat
ent hives. There are as good hives
as any one needs without patent
that can be had at reasonable
prices. a.ss m
If the bees have been wintered in
cellars or under shelter they should
be set out on their summer stands
as soon as the weather becomes
reasonably warm and settled.
The new swarm is the one to
gather the honey, and if the man
agement is properly given will do
much better than both would have
done had they been equally divid-
ed.
If a crop is grown especially to
furnish bloom for the bees, one of
the very best crops is Japanese
buckwheat. 1t can be sown broad
cast, the same as oats or flax, as
soon as danger of frost is past.
AS general rule it does not pay
to produce good colonies for sale.
The price at which they will sell
will not leave a fair profit. So it
is not a good plan to let the bees
swarm at will. To prevent this all
queen cells except one should be
cut out and no second swarms will
appear.
The quality of honey is largely
determined by the bloom from
which it is gathered and in conse-
quence it varies greatly. While it
is difficult to get the honey from
one kind of blossom separate, yet
the prevailing kind regulates the
quality. Honey gathered in dry
time is superior in flavor, richness
and thickness to that gathered in
wet weather. .5s aae

Timely Topics for the Garden,

1t is high time now that the as
paragus bed was put in order. Fork
in all the manure possible and throw
out the coarsest in a pile near by,
where it will rot. Salt is cheap;
sow half bushel over your bed.
Salt has manurial properties alb
sorbed by almost every kind of
vegetation.
You may sow your asparagus
bed spinach and radishes, which do
not draw much on the fertility Of
the soil and will not hinder the per-
feet development of the asparagus.
When the spinach plants are not
drawn out, but cut with leaf or
two left, they will grow again with
a new start.
II will now do to plant early
pease and also in order to SOW
lettuce, onions, beets, turnips, car
rots, parsnips and satisfy. For
beets the eclipse is good.
If you desire to raise early cab
bage, and viii take a little extra
trouble, it will succeed after this
manner of treatment: Make a
dozen hills or cones in bed intend
ed for cabbage. On each SOW a
dozen or more seeds, set up four
bricks on edge and over each place
an Sx10 pane of glass. Keep the
bed which of course is rich, well
fertilized and mellow we'll in hand.
The plant will grow apace. Ii nee
essary treat them to dose of re-
duced barnyard tea once in awhile.
When ready set the plants in rows,
and leave but one in the place be-
tween the bricks. They are hardy,
but need forcing by almost daily
cultivation.

A TEMPTING OFFER.

To induce people to keep track Of their bright
ideas and see what there is in them, the Press
Claims Company has resolved to offer prize.
To the person who submits to it
the simplest and most promising
invention, from a commercial point
Of view, the company will give
twenty five hundred dollars, cash,
in addition to retunding the fees
for securing the patent.
It will also advertise the inven-
ton free of charge.
This offer is subject to the following condit-
ions: ...
Every competitor must obtain Q patent for
his invention through the company. He must
first apply for preliminary search. the cost of
which win be Ave dollars, Should this search
show his invention to be nnpatentable. he can
withdraw without further expense. Otherwise
he viii be expected to complete his application
and take out patent in the regular way. The
total expense. including Government and Blu
reau fees. will be seventy dollars. For this.
whether he secures the prize or not, the invent

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 passengers backsy'
exclaims traveller. IF l were running the
road would make them in such q wsy.'
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 button!' growls the man
who is late for breakfast. IF l were in the
business I'd make buttons that woubant slip
out or break of. or gouge out the back Of my
neck" sf..s.5 .-...- .-
And then the various sufferers forget abo0t
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 rs independently
wealthy as the man who invented the iron UNI
brella ring. or the one who patented the fifteen

About Grasses.

N BOOu, even stand IS necessary
to good yield. Using plenty of
seed is an important item in secur-
ing good stand.
To have a good crop of grass it is
fully as necessary as with any other
crop that good care be taken to have
the soil rich and well prepared be-
fore sowing.
For neadows ONLY grasses that
ripen at the same time should be
lsown together, as one important
item in securing the best quality of
hay is to cut it at the right stage.
On many farms there are vacant
places that cannot be cultivated
conveniently and yet could be seed
ed to grass and made to yield a
profit. bgaa
In the pastures q growth Of grass
during the greater part of the season
is needed. A good variety Of grass
,es must be sewn SO as to furnish
feed for the longest possible time.
In the selection of grasses, both
for the meadows and the pastures,
it should be remembered that some
varieties thrive better on low, moist
land, while others are better adapt
ed to higher, drier soils.
More attention is being paid to
grass as crop on the farm for the
reason that by growing it and
taking pains in the management
the fertility of the soil can be grad
nally improved more than with al
most any other crop.
While to a certain extent grass
can be used in a system of rotation,
yet in many cases where good
stand is once secured it will be
found most profitable to keep in
grass as long as a good yield is OBJ
tanned.
For grazing alone blue grass is
one of the best that can be grown
on the farm. Once well establish
ed it will Withstand more tramping
and closer cropping with less dam
age than almost any other grass.
On account of its being slow to
start it is nearly always best to SOW
it in connection with some other
variety.
Timothy, orchard grass and red
top are usually sown for permanent
meadows. Orchard grass ripens
first, then timothy, and lastly red
top. One advantage in sowing a
variety is that the season of harvest
is heightened, affording in this way
a better opportunity of getting all
cut at the best stage.
Millet and Hungarian are both
often grown for hay, but they are
ANIMALS, and only one crop will be
secured from one sowing of seed.
In many cases they can be grown
to advantage when the acreage of
permanent meadow is insufficient
to afford all that will be needed.
Grass, whger used as pasturage
or cut for hay, supplies one Of the
cheapest and best foods for stock.
Often it will be profitable to have
from one-tbird to one-half of the
farm well seeded to different kinds
of grass.

NOT so mARD AS TT SEEMS.

A patent strikes person as an appalhngly
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 compile
Gated mechanical problems, and that he must
spend fortune on delicate experiments before
he can get a new device to q patentable degree
Of perfection. This delusion the company de-
sires TO dispel. Itdesires to get into the head
of the public 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 ONCE. s%..s
Edison saws that the profits he has received
from tn 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 a
childs ball, so that it would come back to the
hand when thrown, made a fortune out Of the
scheme. The modern sewing machine Is q 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.

A Wrong 20 the Horse.

A great wrong to the horse is the
new habit of clipping the inside of
the ears. The hair in the ear is a
necessity, and deafness is often the
result of allowing wind, snow, rain,
dust, hayseed, etc, ETC., to get down
!. where no man can get it out. Do
you wonder that liberation of the
delicate structure follows, and that
deafness is the common result?

A rotation of vegetables is as es-
sentiai gardening as in farming, as
different plants appropriate differ
emit ingredients FROM the soil. Care
should be taken that deep-rooted
plants, such as beets, carrots, par
ships, ETC., are not planted success
sive seasons on the same soil, but
should be followed by those plants
whose roots extend but little below
the surface, such as onions, lettuce,
spinach, etc. Then it must be re-
membered that plants of the cab
bage family are apt to become
diseased at the roots (club-rooted),
if too frequently planted in the
