Lieutenant d. A. Lyle has read a
paper before the Springfield Acad-
envy or Association of Sciences, in
which he speaks in high praise Of
grasshoppers as an article of food.
Although they naturally have a
disagreeable smell, he says that
when properly cooked and seasoned,
they become pleasant TO both smell
and taste, no disguise whatever be-
ing necessary in order to make such
IA dish palatable
Cooks that understand preparing
them for the table always boil the
insects for two hours and then serve
with pepper, salt and vinegar. Thus
prepared the dish is not easily dis
tinguished from beef broth. Fried
in their own oil they have fine
nutty flavor. Ten or II years ago
some of our citizens were treated To
a dinner of choppers" skillfully
prepared, and all concurred in pro-
nouncing it splendid Grasshop-
pers feed entirely upon vegetable
matter, and consequently must he

1t is poor economy to spread the
brood of a weak swarm.
If the combs get moth-eaten, the
best plan is to melt them into wax
Before giving extra room on top,
be sure that the brood frames are
all occupied,
Before using the empty hives
again, every comb should be taken
out and carefully examined.
Save all the good pieces of work
er comb cut out of the sections to
patch up your brood combs.
When the bees swarm late in the
season or when no honey is coming
in, it is all right to use the old
comb.
If it can be kept reasonably warm
and perfectly dry, an upstairs room
is one of the best places to store
honey.
There is no advantage in using
soiled sections and having lot of
poor-looking honey to work off in
the Fall.
All the honey that is not mark
eted should be stored where the
bees cannot get at it, even through
a knot hole.

An observant and thorough hor-
ticulturist has made II practice OF
hauling mulchiug of all kinds into
his berry patches, and if anyone in
the community had raspberries, but
especially blackherries, it was he
And they always proved a grea,
treat. Moreover, his canes bore
more and for IL longer time than
anybody else's, and it was all owing
to this mulching Almost all the
cane berries have Il habit of throw
ing out their roots near the surface,
and, unprotected, soon yield to Il
dry spell, while, it covered by a
foot or more Of mulching, which is
generally moist at the bottom, they
thrive right along without let CT
hindrance. 1t is therefore advisa-
BILE to commence iIiulching as soon
as the fruit is removed, and keep
doing so so long as long, rough ma
nure and rubbish can be found to
be utilized in this way.

There is no secret in handling
bees except quiet, friendly man.
ner and due regard for the natu-
raj disposition of the bees.
In beekeeping, as in everything
else, it pays to be neat and to have
the honey so nice that when placed
on the market people will feel an
irresistible desire to buy it.
The honey intended for market
should always be graded and the
sections nicely cleaned. With hon
ey, as with every other product,
the appearance is an important fac
tor.
When the bees are given too
much room there is risk of their
sections not being properly filled.
But it is not always possible to
know exactly how much room to
give.
In hiving swarm of bees one
essential is to have the hives in a
cool place. The bees will enter the
cool hives much more readily than
one that has been baked in the hot
sun all day.
Honey comb is very DELICATE, the
base of a new cell being only about
eighth of an inch in thickness,
while the walls are much thinner.
Yet they are SO formed as to com
bine the greatest strength and ca
pacity with the least material.
In Gaping honey the bees begin
at the outside and finish at the CEN
ter. The Gaping of the broad
cells is dark, porous and conv' X,
while that of the honey cells is
white and concave. The capping
of the honey cells is made thicker
by black bees than by other races.
The size of the cells built, wheth-
err they are drone or worker, seems
to be largely determined by the rel
alive abundance of bees or honey.
When the bees are abundant and
honey is needed, drone comb is in
variably built, while if there are
but few bees, worker comb is form
ed. .
1t is as yet hardly possible to
prevent swarming, but by provid-
ing plenty of room, good ventila-
ton and shade, it may be so con-
trolled that the bees will seldom
swarm. Allowing the bees to he
crowded almost always induces
swarming, but giving plenty of
room will greatly lessen the ten
dency.

FARM Notes.


Without doubt there is an in
creased demand for what is known
as bacon hogs. By this is meant
hogs with long, deep sides, and
with the largest possible proportion
of lean to fat when properly fat
tened for the market. These hogs
can be furnished most readily in
the sections OF the country where
but few are kept on the farm, and
these to consume the by-prodncts
of the dairy and the orchard, to
CLEAN in the wheat fields and to
utilize during the Summer sea: on
the clover pasture. The growth
thus being made on the nitrogen
Gus foods, and then fattened on
corn or wheat, they fulfill the con-
dition of the bacon hog. The dali
~ sections of the west could fur
nish a very large number of hogs
grown in practically the same way,
and with great profit to the dairy
men, packers and consumers. The
wheat growing sections are begin
ming to furnish not few of this
type, so far as feeding is concerned,
and we may expect them in still
larger numbers from Minnesota,
the Dakotas, Washington and Ore
gon. There would be no difficulty
in supplying the demand for this
class of hogs in the corn and wheat
belts, provided the packers would
pay their value.
So long as they discriminate be-
tween a hog fed for fat, and one fed
for fat and lean mixed, just so long
will the farmer furnish the type OF
hog that he can supply at the least
price. A bacon hog requires not
only to be of the bacon type, so far
as form is concerned, but should be
fed on flesh producing food, or, as
we say, on a much narrower ration;
that is, ration composed more
largely of albuminoids, or protein,
than the hog that is fed for lard or
market for pounds. Corn is usual
ly the cheapest food in the corn or
grass belt, and the farmer will pro-
dnce his pork at the lowest cost, or,
at least, what he thinks is the low
est cost. Corn is the cheapest and
handiest of all foods for producing
pounds on the grown hog, and,
therefore, the farmer uses corn
mainly, and too often wholly. II
the packer would pay for bacon
hogs according to the value they
are to him, the farmer would grow
these hogs to any desired extent.
This is somewhat singular, hut new
ertheless worthy of careful note,
that in the great pork markets of
the world it is not the hog from the
great hog-producing countries that
sells at the highest prices, but the
meat of the hog from dairy sections
such as Denmark, and, to a certain
extent, from Ireland.--JournaL Of

RIOT AT NEW YORK.
Policeman Roughly Handled by Il Mob
of Striking Cloakmakers.

NEW YORK, Oct. ia small-sized riot
occurred in Delaney street to-day. The in
cipient riot was caused by the cloakmakers'
troubles, still unsettled. Norris Cohen, a
clothing contractor in a small way, has not
been on good terms with the union for some
time past. His wife has also aroused the
enmity OF the c~loakmakers by conducting a
non-union boarding house. She was at
tackled by several OF the strikers, and Co
hen, to protect his wife, fired several shots
into the crowd. Policeman Heaphy had fin
ished his days work and was returning to
his home when he discovered the trouble.
Forgetting that he did not have on his
uniform, he attempted to arrest the par
Elephants. The members of the mob thought
he was a ~non-union man, and the officer
was roughly handled, his left shoulder be-
ing dislocated. 1t was necessary TO call out
the police reserves before the trouble came
to an end.
Eighty-ive cloak manufacturers held a
meeting tonight Resolutions were adopted
declaring war on the unions concerned in
the strike. 1t was decided TO issue a call
to the strikers asking them to come back
TO work as soon as possible. Those who
refuse to come back will be declared dis
charged. 1t was decided to form a perma-
nent organization. These officers were
elected: Daniel Richman, president; Andrew
Crawford. secretary; William Diack and
Frank Rothschild, first and second vice
presidents; Louis Rothschild, treasurer.

Searching FOR ROBBERS.
Express Officials Say the
bandits Cannot Escape.

WASHINGTON, Oct 15.-The Adams Elk
press Company officials say they have
everything we'll in hand for the capture of
the Aqua creek train robbers. "'They can
not get away from U.S." said Mr.. Herring
to-day. 1--WE have the best detectives to
be had, and enough of them to watch every
point. 1t makes little difference where they
go they will have a reception; they will
be hunted down"
Mr.. Herring. when asked about the fail
ure of the express company to offer re-
wards for the arrest of the robbers. re-
piled that he did not think a reward
would secure their arrest. You cannot
catch thieves by rewards" he said. I'VE
land them and it will be expensive enough
without paying a reward when they are
caught. 1t costs money to catch thieves,
and in this case the difficulty is greater
than in many other sections. There are
many ways for them to escape, and be-
sides there are so many places for them
to hide. There are SO many miles of river
and bay where there is no telephone con-
n~ection, and many creeks, inlets and unin-
habited sections where men may secrete
themselves 1t may take time to get
these robbers. but we viii find them in
time
1t is now said the amount secured by the
robbers will not exceed $4,000. and may fall
to g. 600.

A DEADLY
1t Explodes a Box of Giant Powder Caps
and Mangles Two Boys.

MOKULUMNE HILL, Cal, Oct 15.-Geo.
n James Lpp, aged nineteen and seven
teen, respectively, were horribly mutilated
and probably fatally injured to-day by the
explosion of a box Of giant powder caps.
1t is not known how the accident occurred,
but q man named Gold saw the boys COM
ing down the road locked arm in arm,
staggering from side to side and uttering
fearful shrleks. At first ne thought they
were drunk. but on their nearer approach
he discovered their horrible condition. The
left hand of James was torn to shreds,
necessitating amputation. His eyesight was
destroyed and his head, face and upper
part of his body was filled with fragments
of metal from cap shells and the metal box
in which they were contained. George was
mangied about the head. One eye was gone,
and he Will lose the sight OF the other. The
first and second fingers and thumb of the
left hand were shot off. James's hand was
found near the place, still holding a half
burned cigarette. 1t is supposed the boys
found the box OF caps near the road, and
while examining the contents a spark from
the cigarette caused the explosion.

DIED In PRISON.
Fate of a NaturaliZed American VINO
Returned to Russia.

BALTIMORE, Oct. ia cablegram re-
ceived to-day states that Stanislaus Krez-
minski. the naturalized American whose
case the State Department has under con-
sideration. dled in prison at Warsaw on
Sunday A few months ago
visited Russia to see his family, and upon
arrival was arrested and placed in prison
at Warsaw. The State Department was
appealed to, and took up the matter with
the Russian government. KreZminskl came
to this country in 1859, and was naturalized
in Buffalo, N. Y. He resided in that city
for many years and became quite wealthy.
The St. Petersburg authorities advised the
State Department a few days ago that the
charges against Krezminski were not polit-
ical. but that he had been convicted of en-
bezzling government funds while serving
as a police official in 1868, and that he had
been placed in prison to serve a sentence
of fifteen years.

MARYLAND OYSTERS RIPE.
Season for Dredging and Scraping
Opened Yesterday Morning.

BALTIMORE, Oct. Is. The season for
dredging and scraping for oysters in
Maryland waters opened this morning.
The prospects are that a large volume of
business will be transacted. More vessels
are engaged in the oyster business this
season than for several years, and failure
of the fruit crop is expected to create a
good demand for oysters. The entire fleet
engaged in dredging will nImber 1900 YES
sells. Each vessel will employ an aver
age of eight men. and 12,G0 men will be
employed in the business until April. This
number does not include the tongers and
in the counties 1000 are engaged in tong
ing. The packing houses in Baltimore and
at points on the eastern and western
shores employ about 10000 more people.
A careful estimate recently made by a
prominent packer places the number OF
persons interested in the industry at 10000.

AN DYING.
Ruler of Afghanfstan Reported to BE
III with Bright's Disease.

STMLA, India. Oct. 15.-News has been
received here which confirms the alarming
reports In circulation regarding the health
OF AbdurTahman Khan, Ameer of Afghan
istan- 1t is now admitted that the Ameer
is very seriously ill and 1t is said he is
suffering from internal hemorrhages. In
view OF this fact. Sir George White, COM
mander of the British forces, has postponed
his tour of inspection. In addition, the
Encouragement Earl of Elgin has sum-
moned a special council to meet immedi-
ately.
The news of the Ameer's impending
death is a great surprise. He is known to
have Bright's disease of the kidneys, but
1t was not thought that he was seriously
affected For the present, Mr.. Pyne. the
English engineer who has started a fac
tory for the manufacture of guns rifles
the cartridges at Cabul. in addition to
turning his attention TO the manufacture
OF articles OF commerce. and the other
Europeans. Including Miss Hamilton and
the lady doctors, should be assured pro-
lection by the Ameer's eldest son. Sar6ar
Habibulla Khan, who, presumably, will as
sumo the direction OF affairs. The policy
OF the Indian government will have TO be
declared promptly, and II is believed that
will be able to hold his own. The friendly
relations between Great Britain and AZ
ghanistan have not been broken since the
successful mission last year of Sir NORTH
mer Durand TO the city of Cabul.
General kendahar Expects Trouble.
LONDON. Get. 15.-Gen. Lord Roberts
Kendahar, ". c., formerly Communicating
chief Of the British army in India, was in
terviewed to-day in regard to the illness Of
the Amer Of Afghanistan. Lord Roberts
said: Similar reports OF illness. and from
which the Ameer has recovered. have
reached India in wears gone nv Rut the
Ameer Is now older. and the constantly re-
curing attacks of the govt must have seri-
ously undermined his general health. The
news, doubtless. was brought from Cabul
by horsemen and was telegraphed from the
latter place TO Simla. Should the question
OF succession arise there will certainly be
srious trouble at Cabul between the oppos-
Ing parties, one favoring the succession Of
the elder son. Sadar Habibulla Khan. the
child OF a wife OF low rank, who has al
