FARM AND GARDEN.
THE SAFEST BUSINESS.


Agriculture the One Line of Industry
That Is Not Overcrowded.
mot less than 95 per cent of our
farmers make success of farming"
Those are the words of an Iowa farmer
who spoke before the Iowa senate COM
mittee on agriculture. Statistics show
very convincingly that IN business pur-
suits only 5 per cent. of those who un.
dertake the different lines are success
full There is, then, vast difference
between farming and other kinds of
business SO far as a surety of achieving
success is concerned. There is so large
a difference that comparison should
convince more persons that to till the
soil is practically the sure road to sue
cess and consequently, the best. The
late extreme depression in business has
hardly been felt by the farmers, and
even where it was manifest to them it
was noticed in its effects on the surplus
which was to be put aside as savings
not being noticed so far as the enjoy
ment of necessities and comforts were
concerned, On this one particular
point the farmers stand so far in adj
vance of strugglers in other ventures
that comparison is almost impossible.
The difference between absolute safety
and possible want is too much to put
into language. Figures can never.com-
pute it. Artists cannot paint it II
must be felt to be appreciated, and to
feel that sense of surety is to enjoy
more of life than even the abundantly
successful business adventurer can
feel in the height of initiation. The
words of the Iowa farmer may seem
overdrawn, but even if they are by 70
or so per cent. there would still be q
heavy balance in favor of farming.
The conclusion is easy that agriculture
is the one line of industry not over
crowde ed, which, in fact, cannot be
overdone in this country within the
life of any person now living. 1t will
take years to strike a balance between
% and 5 per cent, so that farming will
be on a par with mercantile pursuits
as to uncertainty. AS a matter of fact,
that time need never be expected.
Meanwhile every effort put forth to
keep young men on the farms or to
get families out of the towns on to the
farms is in the in terest of permanent
national prosperity, to say nothing of
personal comforts and safety. Every
day the tide is turning toward the ru-
raj districts, The prices of farms will
gradually go up as the demand for
such homes increases That has al
ways been the effect following Il fnan-
cial depression. The value of suitable
stock for beginning farming operations
will also rise as the popularity of farm
ing grows upon the people. The neces-
sity for immediate action can be easily
recognized under the existing circum-
stances. The prophecy will hardly be
doubted, that there will be 10, if not
30, per cent. less abandoned farms"
in New Hampshire at the end of this
year than on this date. If that be true
the financial difficulties will not have
come upon the people in vain.-Man-
chester a. H. Union.

THE PERFECT HIVE.
1t Should Combine CheapDess with Sin
pIicity and Durability.

1t Should Combine CheapDesS with Sim
plicity and Durability.
A good hive should possess the fol-
low points, viz: cheapness, simplicity,
durability; as good for winter as sum-
mer; that the combs may be removed
without iniuring or irritating the bees;
that the bees may have free access tc
the surplus honey arrangements; that
the surplus honey may be removed
without injuring or irritating the bees
and be in marketable condition; that
the bees may be able to store every
ounce of honey they can collect; com
pletely ventilated that the bees may
not sutfocate, and thousands of them
hang on the outside of the hive for air
in a hot day; that all the heat from the
hive may enter the surplus honey boxes
or chamber, to enable the bees to elab-
crate wax and make comb; that, in
case the bees are carrying in honey
very rapidly, one set of boxes may be
raised and another set placed under
them; that there be no place in the
hive where the miller moth can con-
ceal itself; that there be no space be-
tween the top of the combs and bottom
of the honey boxes, except a single quar-
ter of an inch; that the bees may enter
the surplus honey boxes from any part
of hive without creeping through hole
in the honey board; that all openings
of the hive be guarded with slide or
button; that the boxes be covered with
a light cap to exclude the chilly air at
night as well as the excessive heat of
the MONDAY sun, with ventilation at
each end to be opened on hot days and
allow current of air to pass over the
honey boxes, permitting the excessive
heat of the hive to escape in summer
and in winter to carry off the moisture
generated by the bees Farmers Voice.

Ventilating Poultry Houses.

There is not little discussion as to
the best manner of ventilating the poul-
try house. Many claim that ventilat-
ing tubes are roup inducers and fur
thermore unnecessary. They claim
that enough fresh air will find its way
into the building of the ordinary farm
err or poultryman. There is some truth
in it. 1t may be wee to have an open
ing in the peak of the roof and this
should be so arranged as to be opened
and closed conveniently. A ventilat-
ing shaft four by six inches inside, run
ming from four inches from the floor up
through the roof and two feet or SO
above it with a cap to keep out the rain
and snow, will convey the impure air
out of the pen. But the trouble with
the average poultry house is to keep it
warm, rather than to keep it well ven.

placed his newly-struck coins, and then,
as he expressed it, took his old gem
