oUEEN-CAGE CANDY.
Addition of Salt Is Said to Overcome the
Hardening Tendency.

Addition of Salt Is Said to Overcome the
Hardening Tendency.
The loss in shipping queens long
distances is generally believed to be
due to the hardening of the candy
with which the cage is furnished. The
problem how TO keep it in proper con-
dition is a vexing one, but the sugges-
ton made by w. A. Pryal in Clean
ings in Bee Culture" may help in its
solution.
Mr.. Pryal found that some very hard
candy, when exposed to the atmos-
phere for some days, began to absorb
the moisture from the air. 1t became
soft. and in time of the same con-
sistency as the honey from which it
was made. This rapid change in its
condition was attributed to the large
amount of salt that the air in that
section is charged with. This leads
Mr. Pryal to the belief that sit would
be safe to make the candy quite hard
for cages that were to be sent on sea
voyage. The candy would soften about
as fast as it was necessary. If salt
were added to the candy before the
cage was shipped the candy would be-
come too soft; should the candy be OF
soft composition ere the cage is sent
off, the candy would also become too
soft as soon as it was we'll on the soft
water. For cages that are to be
shipped altogether by land, especially
through a hot country, the candy
could be sailed as much as necessary.
OF course, the quantity of salt required
for a single cage is comparatively
small; but it has wonderful effect in
keeping the candy SOFT

THE FARMING WORLD.
RECuPERATION OF SOILS.
a Discussion OF the Subject of How to
Conserve Fertility,

Discussion OF the Subject of How to
Conserve Fertility.
The management of the soil is at
the present day subject as important
as the management of stock, and as
the soil can gain or lose in fertility &C
cording to its treatment, the value of
a farm depends upon the manner in
which the soil has been cultivated,
and not only does cultivation affect the
soil, but the kind of crop grown in
fuences it also and changes its quail
ity and texture to a certain extent
Many soils have been brought to a
high degree of fertility with the aid OF
but limited amount of manure, by
growing certain crops, which not only
cover the soil and protectit. but which
also derive nitrogen from the air and
add it to the plant food already exist
ing in the soil 1t is not only in the
gain of fertility that the farm is en-
riched, but also in the prevention of
loss by so managing the soil that even
after the crop is removed a protection
is given against rains, heat and frost.
While these agents are at times bene-
fetal and important, under certain
conditions of the soil it is necessary.
to guard against losing that which
was gained earlier in the season of
growth.
It is an advantage to pillow some
soils late in the fall, but scientists are
not unanimous in their opinions re-
garding this subject. It is advocated
that there is too much exposure of the
soil, by which large portions of soluble
matter are lost. Nature covers the
soil always, and never leaves it ex-
posed. Under the fallow system prac-
ticed in former years, when resting"
the land a year or two by emitting
crops, the soil gained in fertility, yet
the plow was not used during the rest
ing period. The gain in fertility was
attributed to the scanty growth of
| heritage, which covered the almost
barren fields, but the real gain was in
the covering of the soil and the addi-
tional plant food brought down by the
rains, and which was transformed into
other substances by the indigenous
heritage covering the soil as mulch,
and thus promoting the formation of
humus. Learning from experience, it
has occurred to many progressive
farmers that mulching the soil is to
protect it against loss as well as to add
to it's fertility. -Philadelphia Record.

DAIRYMEN MEET.
Omcers Chosen and other Business Trans
acted.

TOPEKA, Kan. Nov. 24.-The State
Dairy association last night adopted
resolutions urging national and state
pure food legislation, especially legisla-
ton to prevent the sale of adulterated
dairy products and the use of dairy
terms in the manufacture and sale
of anything passing for butter, such
as ''butterine," Jersey prints etc.
To this end a state law, embodying the
principles of the Paddock pure food bill
is demanded to be enforced by an Off
Ger to be known as dairy and food com
missioner, to be elected by the people.
1t is also recommended that a dairy
school similar to those in other states
be established by legislative enact
ment.
This forenoon the following officers
were elected for the ensuing year:
President, A. G. Eyth, of Dickinson
county; secretary and treasurer, III. NJ.
Brandt, of Mcpherson county; assist
ant secretary, J. *. Forney, of Dickin-
son county. The old committee on
legislation. consisting of A. K. Jones
and Peter He'll, of Shawnee county and

con tinued. Newton was selected as

these are best made with thread on
the top for nut to fasten them in the

short as may be thought proper. The
most effect is gained by going diagon-

will take good hold of the stubs. The
best time to do the work is after the
ground has been softened by the rain,
but not until the soil is dry enough for
clean work. The teeth should be not
less than four inches apart. In turn
ing at the end of the rows it will be
safest to lift the bar clear of the

Yellow Italians Are Vicious.

There seems to be a sort of impress
sion among the farmers in our own
vicinity that extra yellow bees must
be extra pure Italians. Judging by
the way the orders have run for the
yellow stock, this impression must be
general: but every practical queen
breeder knows that is a mistake. The
fve-banders are simply sports, selected
for color, from Italian stock-that is
all. And. by the way, some of them
sting; it would almost seem as if they
had ''sportcd" a little from Cyprian
stock. We have quite a large number
of colonies of extra yellow bees in our
yard, and our apiary has never had
crosser bees, or bees more Inclined to
rob, than this year. They bred like
Cyprians. and then stopped long be-
fore the ordinary Italians. We shall
get them all out of our yard another
season, unless their temper and rob-
bling propensities improve = Ohio

gathering this rubbish and getting rid
OF it so as to turn it to immediate good
use. A bar of strong oak timber six
inches wide and three thick has
tongue fitted into it in the usual way,
and is furnished with a number of
curved teeth made of half inch steel

The many men in public life to-day

case during the short sessions of con-
gress, and it is fair to presume that in-
difference and 1assitude will mark the
course of at least few of the unfortu-
nate statesmen during the coming VIM

men who have thus politically fallen
by the wayside to pack up their traps,
leave Washington ostensibly for the

Every poultry owner has realized
how difficult 1t is to keep the water

this difficulty is shown in the accom-

to a post or to one of the studding
timbers aud on the under side of it is
horizontally fastened square piece of

To ASSUME that the refusal of
foreigners drawn as jurors to take
the oath, is due to political hos
tility to the Republic is utterly alb
surd. 1t is not the abjuring of the
monarchy to which they never
owed fealty, but the assuming ale
glance to the Republic, which
makes the difficulty. AS every
one knows, subjects or citizens of
the United States, Germany, Great
Britain, or any other foreign power
may be, and constantly are drawn
as jurors. The citizens of foreign
countries have always been slow
to become naturaized here, even
though they had made Hawaii
their home, for the simple reason
that they were unwilling to ex-
change the protection of strong
nation for that of a weak one. We
have no sympathy with this feel
ing, but it must be recognized as a
fact. In the present case there
seems to be some doubt as to
whether the form of oath prescribed
in the Constitution does not imply
a remuneration of foreign allegi-
ance, with its consequent loss of
rights. In point of fact we believe
that it does not involve such a
remuneration, but the letter of
Secretary Gresham, in response-to
the inquiries of Minister Willis on
this subject, was far from encOur-
aging. At any rate the apprehen-
sion is present in the minds of our
alien population, and is amply
sufficient to account for the few
refusals to take the oath, without
assuming, as the partizan journals
do, the presence of any hostility to
the best and freest government
which Hawaii has ever had.

QUALIFICATIONS OF VOTERS.

The other day an intelligent man
complained that the Constitution of

it allowed nobody to vote who had

seem strange perhaps that so erro.

sible, yet upon reflection it is easily
understood. Only a part, and that
the minority, of any community
busies itself with politics. The
rest tend to their business, buy and
sell and spend, contenting them
selves with such knowledge of pub
lie affairs as they get from hear
say, and hearsay, as we all know,
is generally if not always wrong.

ties to the suit. The mixed jury
system undoubtedly deserves the
worst that can be said of it, but the
substitute proposed by the Star, in
the existing state of sentiment, is
entirely impracticable. \ better
way out of the difficulty would be
the retention of juries in cases
where the parties to the suit are of
