Rev. A. g. Hirst Psrsecuted by q Relig-
iona Adventurer.
SAN Francisco, Aug. 16.-The Ohroni-
Gle says, in reference to the trial of Rev.
A. O. Hirst, before q commission OF the
Methodist Episcopal conference: 1.-THE
friends of DIR. Hiret allege that the ac-
cusations are the result of in
effective attempts at black mail. His
champions are the Rev. j. Filben, De :
tective Thompson and a youth named
George Willard. as well az many 9th :
ers, who, without pretending to have
intimate knowledge, have implicit faith
in the accused clergyman. The wit
nesses mentioned cay that Rev. +. Rog.
ere is clerical adventurer. DR.. Filben
said:
"He came to this city from England
with letters OF introduction to Bishop
Nichols from the bishop of Liverpool
and others. One of these letters intim-
ated that Mr.. Rogers was not quite right
mentally. After being here short time,
Rev. Rogers left the Episcopalians and
joined the Baptists, then he went to the
Presbyteriane, and finally became q
Methodist, receiving his appointment to
the Methodist mission in Fruitdale at
the hands of his clerical counsel in this
case, Rev. DR.. Carroll"
Mr.. Filben further stated, and in
what he said Detective Thompson con-
Cured, that Mr.. Rogers boasted that he
had put others in the same plight as
DIR. Hirst, and he had an English lord
"rotting in jail"
The youth, George Willard, signed a
statement accusing DR.. Hirst of unmen-
tionable crimes.
Edmund Bidwell is rather sullen
youth. He is said to be Rogers chief
witness. though he mumblad yesterday
when the assertion was made: There's
a dozen more boys" He is credited
with having made affivavit to certain
charges in which he was party to the
crime. He was for some months pc.
writer in DR.. Hiret'a employ.

KeepInr Feed pe,or. Heu,,

It is practice with some poultrymen
to keep the troughs full Of feed, and
bins are sometimes arranged for allow
ing tho grain to run out In order to re-
place that which has been consumed.
This is not only extravagant but it is
an obstacle to egg production, as the
hens are induced to eat frequently
and soon become very fat It is also
On indication Of desire to avoid the
work of feeding. on the part of the
poultryman, which Is fatal to success.
A trough full of corn is a temptation
to the hens, and If they are confined in
yards and are idle, they will go up to
the trough and eat simply because they
have nothing to do. With plenty be-
fore them they will not scratch aAd ex-
ercise, and In a short time they cease
to lay because Of being too fat. Some
of the hens will evince their disgust
for the grain by refusing to eat 1t, con-
sinued sameness of diet causing sick
ness, in which case some of the hens
become poor. If nothing is given but
corn, the hen will sooner or later die.

BY far the meanest, most cruel, and
most deinoralizing forms of sport at
present tolerated by the law are those
which consist in the shooting, hunting,
or batting of certain so-called wild"
animals, which are not pursued or
killed in true state of nature, but are
first captured and confined in some
cage or inclosure in order that they
may be afterward turned out and wor-
ried for the amusement of the assem-
bled 'sportsmen." Pigeon shooting,
together with all kinds Of trap shoot
ing, is well-known example of this
debasing class of pastime, and, as was
shown by the division list of the house
of commons as long ago as 1888, is
viewed with strong public disapproval.
THE offense made punishable" said
Lord Balfour, when he introduced in
the house of lords the measure for the
prohibition of pigeon shooting, was
not the shooting at bird. but the

NOTES ron eEeKEEpeRs.


QuEENLEss bees nearly always build
drone combs.
ONLY good queens should go into
winter quarters.
Much bee-diarrhea can be traced to
cold. damp hives.
ITALIAN bees were flrst imported in
this country In 1859.
DON'T let the bees either starve or
freeze to death this winter.
STORES gathered from decaying fruit
In dry season are unhealthy.
If honey Ia overheated the color and
transparency will be affected.
MovrNa bees, even short distance,
invariably results in the loss OF some.
In the majority Of cases unhealthy
stores are the cause OF the loss of bees.
DUNNO the winter prepare for the
spring by making and mending the
hives
Mosr beelkeepers prefer the Italian to
the black bees, as they are more gentle
to handle.
In moving bees in freezing weather
care must be observed, rs the comb he
comes very brittle.
| WHEN bees are to be wintersd on
summer stands they ought to be packed
and fixed up early.
IT 10 said that a bee-lkeeper at Reno,
New, recently shipped $4,000 pounds OF
honey to St Louis.
THIS is the time to plan all the
changes and improvements to be made
in the apiary next spring.
The honey Of Central and South
America remains liquid longer, as a
rule, than that Of North America.
A MAJORITY of the bees that winter
we'll are kept in a temperature of 45 t.
80 degrees. with some ventilation.
In some states efforts have beer
made to prohibit spraying at certain
seasons on account of the liability o
the bees dying from poison.

Cream from Rich New MIX.

Fine cream for the table, fit for a
king, may be obtained from rich new
milk by placing the milk in a shallow
vessel with an extended surface. Set
ON the range where 1t will be warmed.
On no account allow the milk to boil
or even scald. Heat will cause the
cream To rise to the surface in short
time. The pan should then be taken
off and placed In an icebox or in a cool
place. When thoroughly chilled the
cream may be taken off and will be
found to be nearly the consistency OF
newly-made butter This may then be
placed in jars and kept cool. 1t is de-
