Italian Bees.

Italians are a race of bees which
originally came from northern Italy
writes E. II. Abbott in "Kansas
Farmer. They were introduced into
Germany in 1S4S, into England in 1859,
and they also found their way into the
United States the same year. The
books tell us that the first direct i'm
portation from Italy was two years
later. AT that time it was quite an
undertaking to import bees from that
distant land. But to-day, though
many who read this may not know it,
1t is a common occurrence for a queen,
accompanied by a few bees to cross
the ocean by mail or express. Bees
require but little air, and cages are
so arranged that food may be provided
sufficient to last the queen and few
bees for two or three weeks, and all go
through the mail at cost of two or
three cents. One can distinguish an
Italian bee from black Ey its bright
golden appearance and the yellow
bands at the base of the abdomen.
However, Italians vary very much
in color. This is true of queens and
drones as well as workers. Imported
queens are generally darker than those
raised in the United States. The
writer has imported some Italian
queens direct from Italy that were
very dark. The authorities claim
that Italian worker bees should show
the yellow bands at the base of the
base OF the abdomen. l do not re-
member, however, to have seen an i'm
ported Italian queen all the progeny
of which showed three bands. There
is great deal said at the present time
about the so-called five-banded bees .
They are pretty and yellow, but l
doubt very much if they are any
better than the darker Italians. The
Italians are great improvement on
the blacks. They excel them in
adhere to their combs more
closely, are more active in the search
Of food or in defense of their hives and
and have longer tongues, which allows
them to reach the nectar in flowers
where black bees cannot do so.

A Wonder Worker.

Mr.. Frank Huffman, young man
of Burlington, Ohio, states that he has
been under the care of two prominent
physicians, and used their treatment
until he was not able to get around
They pronounced his case to be con-
sumption and incurable. He was per-
suaded to try DR.. Kings New Discov-
cry for consumption, coughs and colds
and at that time was not able to walk
across the street without resting. He
found, before he had used half of a
dollar bottle, that he was much better !;
he continued to use it and is to-day
enjoying good health. If you have
throat, lung or chest trouble try it,.

Feeding Sitting Hens.

A persistent sitter usually half STAR
YES herself in her devotion to her eggs
This is not necessary. If taken off the
nest twice day and not allowed to
get to the nest until feed of grain
has been given, the hen will be nearly
as heavy at the end of three weeks as
she was when she began. She will
turn off the chicks early, and begin
laying for another litter. The best
feed for sitting hens is wheat. A lit
tie wheat has nutrition of better kind
and more concentrated than other
grain. 1t is not so fattening as corn,
but the hen sitting still does not need
fattening food,and will not eat enough
of it to keep herself from becoming
thin

A Valuable Medicine.

The crusade of the State Boards o.
health against quacks, brings to light
some queer characters, and present
a melancholy spectacle of dupes who
pour money into the pockets of these
unprincipled harpies. AT one of the
meetings Of the State Medical Society
of Missouri, an account was given OF
an old imposterin the northern part I
the State, who claimed to have
wrought miracles Of healing "with
only three remedies" all from GER
tain root. Highbobalorum was OBJ
tanned by peeling the root upward,
and was certain emetic. Labobalo-
rum was obtained by peeling the same
root downward, and was a sure ca
thartic, and Hilobustem,by peeling the
root around, was a rank poison and
would carry everything before it, and
was only to be used when the others
had failed.

Fattening the Chicks.

1t is an easy matter to make an
adult fowl fat, but when broiler chick
are to be fattened, the feeding must be
done with judgment. The difficulty
is that instead of becoming fat the
chick grows, and though it increases
in weight, yet its carcass presents but
little fat. In fact, few broilers are fat,
but some of them will be in better con-
dition than others. After a chick is
from six to eight weeks old is the time
to endeavor to make it fat. To do
this, feed plenty of corn meal, and add
an ounce of crude tallow, melted, to
every pint of the corn meal, feeding
four times each day and giving
variety of food also Mirror and
Farmer.

ROCkefeller's Crank.

A crank named Camille Rinehart
the other day rang the bell at John d.
Rockefeller's residence in New York
and demanded admittance. When
told Mr.. Rockefeller was not in, the
man said; "Well, he's got $65,000,-
900, and I've called around to get my
share of it," He then took seat on
the stone steps and was arrested.

Many persons think it makes nc
difference about eggs, whether clean
or dirty, as they are "clean inside
But this is only true in part. Dirt OF
filth causes the shells to decay and
sometimes it may effect the taste when
the egg is broken. Clean eggs look
80 much better in market, and are &C
tually worth more, because they will
keep longer. The eggs should be col
lected every night, the dirt washed of,
and kept dry and cool, yet SO as not to
freeze.

How 10 Pick Huckleberries.

When | first knew Mr.. John Horse

and very rich. AS he seemed never
to have been in any great business,
such as merchants and spectators
now engage in, and as he was never
accused of being dishonest man, ii
was always mystery to me how he
came to be so rich. knew that his
father was poor country clergyman,
and that John could have received no
money from him.--Meeting my friend
one day, when our conversation hap
pened to the subject of gathering
property, ventured to ask him how
it was that he had been so successful
in life.
"When 1 was boy" said he, "my
father was a poor minister. We lived
very plain, and dressed very plain,
but that never troubled us. We al
ways had enough of something to eat
and my mother was one who would
contrive to have her children dressed
