ADVICE FOR LAWMAKERS.

The hay loader is great saver Of
labor, yet on many of the smaller
farms it may not be good policy to pur-
chase one.
If the hay is to be shocked, rake it in
large windows, and avoid twisting as
much as possible in handling. Treated
this way it is easier to load and there is
less trouble in making good stack.
II is best to start the mower in the
morning after the dew is gone. If
the hay is cut while still wet, especial
~ if dew is very heavy, the effect
will be somewhat like that of light
shower.
WHERE there is considerable clover
mixed with hay it will pay to use a
tedder, especially during rainy weather
where it is desirable to get it into
the barn or stack as quickly as pos
sible after cutting.
AS general rule timothy hay cut
when about half through blooming is
most desirable for all purposes. The
leaves and stalks then contain the
most digestible matter, seed does not
shatter, and there is little waste in
feeding.
AFTER the hay is partially dried, put
1t into small shocks and let it there
dry out completely. Cured in this way
it retains green color and is much
more readily eaten. The object is to
cure with the least possible exposure

the heart of the fruit before it is fully
formed. The adult fly does not feed
and is hence beyond our reach. 1t is
only after the injury is done that the
insect goes underground and within
reach of destructive agencies.
AS preventive measure it is recon-
mended that the trees be examined as
soon as the pears are well set, and
that every invested or suspected pear
be picked off and completely de-
stroyed, while if an orchard is gener-
ally infested the following practice is
recommended.

the following spring turn their sod

should be done before the pear buds
are developed in order to head off and
destroy any midges then in the pupa
state near the surface of the soil. This
practice is, at the same time, the best
for the benefit of the orchard.

Providing Food for Plants.

There is perhaps no part of the farm
er's work SO deeply shrouded in mys-
terry, and therefore so little under
stood, as that which relates to the
selection and application of manures.
Yet it is generally acknowledged that
in point of importance the question
involved in this connection is unsur-
passed. Manuring land is simply an
other term for providing food for the
plants that may be sown thereon. The
principle is the same as that observed
in the feeding of animals; the differ
ence is merely in detail. Animals we
feed direct, plants we furnish through
the refining agency of the soil. But
IN both cases we have first of all to
ascertain the chief requirements of the
consumer" or what is practically the
same thing, the special class of article
it favors and responds to most liber-
ally. The feeding of animals, how
ever, complicated as it is, is even a
simpler matter than is the feeding of
crop.-Colman's Rural World.

MARKETING HONEY.
Points to Re Considered in Rendering
Combs Attractive.

Points to BE Considered in Rendering
Combs Attractive.
The finer grades of comb honey will
perhaps always remain luxury and
progressive beekeepers will continue
to produce it in the most attractive
form possible. Most apiarists recog-
nize that it is the beautiful appearance
of a section of honey, more than any
thing else, chat helps to sell it. AL
though some p~"duce it for their own
use or to give to their friends, they
find great satisfaction in having it
just as nice as it can be. In order to
have it so furnish the hives with bright
| new sections holding not over one
pound each and filed with foundation.
Of sections beekeepers have full con-
troll, and if they fail to use the best
| they themselves and not the bees are
to blame. Over the honey filed in by
| the bees they have not so much con-
troll, and often after the most careful
planning, snow-white sections are
| found filed with honey-dew almost as
black as ink. To get my ideal of Sec
ton honey, separators must be used,
| says a writer in American Bee Journal
They should be as wide as the sections,
and no part of the outside must be eX-
| posed to the travel of the bees. Foun-
dalton in full sheets is almost indis-
pensable to get the bees to attach the
comb to the section bottom. When all
is well done, and the beautiful white
capped honey in new white sections is
taken from the hive the apiarist
wonders whether anything else
can be done to make the prod
uct more attractive. Many attempt
| to make it so in various ways. ! have
| seen honey on the market il sections
which were painted bright red,
| others which were stained a cherry
red, or mahogany color. However,
this seemed to add little to its appear
| ance. 1t rather indicated that some
| thing was covered up, the honey had a
queer look, and if the sections were
| new and clean, the paint and stain
were only a detriment. Others try to
gain the desired result by placing the
producers's trade mark or name upon
each section in bright red ink by
means of rubber stamp. This not
UuiN serves 10 advertise JAS pIOuuccT,
but slightly enhances the appearance
of the product if the work is neatly
done.
AS to the shipping cases hold these
sections, it is not so important about
paint and stain. l have seen cases
painted black walnut color, that
really looked quite neat, and the
white edges of sections, and delicate
comb honey, looked very attractive
through the glass. l should prefer to
ship my honey in cases painted black,
rather than have them stained or
dirty. But even when applied to ship
ping cases, it is very doubtful if any
thing can be gained by paint-nothing
seems SO neat and bright as new,
planed boards. The winter the wood
the better it pleases me for sections,
even though the comb is capped yell
low, or even dark Somehow it lends
a charm of neatness which can be Sc
cured in no other way.

colored skin, with a pinkish tinge,
which is very attractive. The flesh is
white and juicy.
White Hollands have clear white
plumage, though during summer, like
other white fowls. they become more
or less yellow. The bills and feet are a
yellowish color. They are good layers
and excellent mothers, generally mat
ing quite early. They are not consid-
cred so hardy as the bronze and some
other varieties and not so commonly
seen.
The white Holland is much larger
than the common white turkey, with
which it should not be confounded. 1t
traces its origin to the Netherlands
and Belgium and is sometimes termed
the Flemish. It's feathers are very
valuable, as they possess the softness
of the down of the geese.

In order to keep the extravagantly
wide rev ers in place, little slivers of
whalebone are stitched into the edges
A very convenient and desirable way
of fixing these edges is to take thin
whalebone. soak it for twenty-four
hours in warm water and put it be-
tween the Innings and stitch it firmly
in place. The machine needle will
penetrate the bone without the slight
est difficulty. Then press until dry
and there is body given to the fabric
that can be obtained in no other way.
There is good deal of talk about a
new style of whalebone which is made
by soaking leather in some liquid and
drying it under pressure. This is all
very well for some purposes, but most
expert dreSSmakers soak the whale
bones before putting them into the
waist, and stitch them through and
through. Arranged in this way they
never slip and are every way more de-
sirable. But those of leather cannot
be so treated.
over collar and revers are among the
new things. Some of these collars are
cut in deep points, others are in deep
scallops, others are overlapped like
shingles on the edges and others have
the points turned back and faced with
some contrasting color.
A new and pretty bodice for simple
wear is made of white India silk. 1t is
made with the outside shirred in at the

trope, and these are draped with
tiounces of black net or silk null.
Shoulder rutfies are less popular than
heretofore. Many thin dresses are
made this way, but heavier materials
show fewer trimmings of this sort.
Ties and cravats of null, tulle and
various gauzy fabrics are much liked.
The newest cravats have large rosettes
instead of loops

rutfies of embroidered chiffon, beauti-
full but expensive.
Embroidered India muslins are again

Germany's Queer Tree.

One of the most curious trees in Ger
many stands on the left bank of the
river Oder, in Ratibor, Silesia. 1t is a
maple, at least one hundred years old,
which has been twisted and cut into a
sort of circular two-storied house. A
fight of steps leads up to the first
level, where the branches have been
gradually woven together so that they
make firm leafy floor; above this is a
second floor of smaller diameter,
formed in the same way, and the ends
of the branches have been woven into
solid walls and cut so that eight win
dows light each of the apartments.-N.

THE PEAR MIDGE,
Damage Done by This Pest and How to

Damage Done by This Pest and How to
Hold 1t in Check.
The pear nudge is one Of the insects
which has been introduced into the
United States within recent years and
is causing good deal of injury in the
eastesn states, so that Bulletin No 80
of the New Jersey station should be of
much assistance to fruit-growers in
that section, as well as in other locali-
ties where pear growing is extensively
carried on.
The adult insect or fly is described as
much resembling a diminutive mos
quito. 1t makes its appearance very
early in the season, before the pear
blossoms open. The female deposits
her eggs in the latter by piercing the
petals or the calyx. The nudge larve
live on the substance of the pear It's
sue, destroying the seed and checking
the growth of the fruit, which decays
and drops in early summer. Our illus
tration shows a sound young pear
and one deformed by the pear nudge
Larvae.
The great difficulty encountered in
fighting this insect lies in the fact
that there is no period at which it is
within reach of ordinary Insecticides
The eggs are laid in the bud before 1t
opens and the young larvae get into

When poultry house is lined with
tarred paper it is frequently the case
that the house is damp. This is due to
several causes, among them being that
new lumber gives off more or less
moisture, and tarred paper condenses
the moisture of the room. When the
house is thoroughly seasoned this may
not happen. The doors and windows
should be kept open during the day,
and during cold weather a lump of
stone lime should be placed in the cor
ner of the room to absorb the moisture.
1t is not due to the exhalations from
the birds, but rather to the dampness
of the atmosphere, which is condensed
by the cold tarred paper. Ordinary
building paper does not condense the
moisture. The damp boards will also
give off considerable moisture in the
room. which will be condensed and
precipitated on the colder tarred paper.

EDITOR CHIEFTAIN:-I have been
a constant reader of your paper for
several years and have always
agreed with you in your views in al
lotting the lands of the Cherokees;
why they should hesitate to make
terms with the Dawes commission
with the impending legislation that
threatens them by the U. S. con-
gress, is strange, if not culpable on
our part. Are we so blind as to
suppose that the American congress
would send a commission here at
heavy expense and that too backed
by sixty-five millions of citizens
as a farce, a something to be
treated with indifference? Surely
our future welfare deserves at our
hands something better; at least
the welfare of our wives and chill.
dren and those that are to come af-
ter us demands that we should at
least have voice in arranging our
future destiny. If we remain ST.
lent we lose that chance and will
have TO submit TO others to do the
work for us and the only thing left
us is to submit. This am un-
willing to. 1t looks to me that
the time has come when every
Cherokee of every grade Of COM
plexion should speak out his SEN
iiments and quit getting behind
the fullblood breast work.
To all who take this shelter let
me say TO them that there is an
other class of Cherokee citizens
whose demands are as just and as
equitable as the full bloods. /
mean the white Indians that are
just coming to manhood and wo-
manhood. They have Anglo Sax
