BY little concert Of action the
farmer can soon be master of the situa.
tion. Why should you go on, year in
and year out, raising crops that do not
yield fair return? There is but one
way to make yourself independent, and
that is the plan above proposed. Diver
sify your crops,
"A good pure-bred boar will soon
breed up the herd, and most farmers
have their hogs well graded up. The
next step is to get one or two pure.
bred sows, and with still better
boar raise the best pigs for market,
that will command the top price, and
soon have all pure-bred stock on the
farm.-Western Live Stock Journal
Let every tiller of the soil begin
now to practice diversified farming in
the full sense of the term. If you
cultivate but ten acres see that you
raise everything you want for your
own use as near as you possibly can.
Then, when your crop is harvested, il
prices do not suit you, you will not be
forced to sell.-Southern Agriculturist.
1t has often been asserted that no
other crop will kill johnson grass, but
ifanybody wishes to have proof to the
contrary, let him come to San Antonio
and he will be shown an alfalfa field
in which johnson grass once reigned
supreme, and surrounded by johnson
grass, and hardly spear of that grass
can now be found among the alfalfa
Texas Agriculturist,
If farmers would consume more
poultry and less pork they would be
healthier and live longer. There is no
meat which compares with well-bred
fresh poultry. Many make the mistake
Of sending all their luxuries to the
market. The same food that will pro.
duce 2OO-pound hog will produce 400
pounds Of the best poultry meat, and
with one-half the labor.

tell us that they would rather pay any

The Masquerading of Detective and .
Fugitive from Justice.
An amusing anecdote Of lady and
gether runs as follows: They were
strangers to each other. All at once
the gentleman said:
Madam, may ask you to look out
of the window? should like to make
some change in my toilet"
Certainly. sir" she readily replied,
at the same time getting up and turn
ing her back upon him.
A few moments afterward he said:
Now madam, ] have finished, and
you can sit down again"
When the lady looked round she saw
her male companion transformed into
an elegant lady, wearing thick veil.
And now, sir, or madam, whatever
you are," said the lady, II would
also request you to put your face out
of the window, as l, too, wish to make
some alterations in my attire"
Certainly, madam said the man in
woman's clothes, turning at once the
other way.
"Now you can resume your seat"
To his great astonishment, the jnan
in woman's garb, on sitting down
again, saw his travelling companion
transformed into man. He burst out
laughing and said:
"It appears that we are both trying
to rum away. What have you doneP I
have been robbing bank"
.And l." said the quondam lady, a.

Hens M Weed Destroyers.

II . hen and chicks are placed in .

blade of grass, as we'll Us every weed,
will be destroyed, and In few days
the plot will be as clean as if burned
over. When hens are confined in yards
the yards are clean and bare of vegeta-
tion. When the hens are on range
they also destroy thousands of young
weeds, which is not so noticeable, but
which is nevertheless the case.

About Bees.

Look ont for robbers when the har-
vest becomes scarce.
When the harvest is plenty you can
let honey stand around unprotected Tor
half day.
But woe be to You If you try that
trick after the honey flow has ceased.
And when robbing commences your
bees that had seemed so quiet and gem
tie become like little demons.
I'll tell you trick worth knowing
about robbers.
II they commence on comb OF honey
or on . weak colony. and have got fair
ly to work, don't take away what
they're working at and leave nothing
in its place.
II you do, they'll 60 to hunting all
over to find what has become of it,
and like as not pitch on the nearest
colony and clear it out
But leave in its place something that
looks like 1t, with at least little
honey in it, and when they get that
all cleaned out they'll leave it satis-
fed, thinking they've got all there is
to be had.
If robbers are started on q colony
that you think might take care Of
itself with little help, pile straw or
hay around it.
Pile it . foot high about the en-.
trance.
Then .nonr wafer on 1t. .-
Drench it good.
Keep pouring on some more.
The robbers won't stand that very
long.
But If the colony is queenless and
weak. the robbers will begin work
again as soon al it dries off.
Better not keep any queenless coli
onies anyhow.
They're not worth fussing with.
Break them up at once and distrib.
ute the brood and bees to others.
A weak colony with good queen
will be glad of them.
II you work for extracted honey.
don't extract too close
Nowadays it isn't considered best te
extract out Of the brood nest.
It pays to leave all in the brood nest
and perhaps little beside.
Unless the combs are crammed very
full the bees may starve before thai
time.
They'll not wasteit II they have NOR,
than they need.
The only possible danger is that ther,
may be so much honey in the broot
nest that there isn't room for the queer
to lay.
There is some pressure Just now t.
get the government to have apis dor
sata, the giant Indian bee, imported.
But those who ought to know say +
will be all in vain.
It's breed Of bees that can not b.
kept in hives.
Better work for Improvement on tn,
bees we have.
They've been bred for color till the,
are all yellow.

THE FARM MORTGAGE.

glanced at the cart, and would have
asked ifthey had seen a cyclist, only
he noticed it was a lady who WAS driv-
ing.
So without paying any attention to
the pair he rang his bell sharply to
warn them to keep to their own side Of
the road and passed them like a cy-
clone. But as the old man worked his
way along. the picture, or snap shot,
as it were, left on his brain began to
develop, and he recognized famil-
iarity in the horse and trap he had
passed. He was half a mile beyond
them when it flashed into his mind
that it was his own horse and vehicle
he had met. He got off his wheel and
looked after them. The girl was urg-
ing the horse to greater speed, and at
that moment the young man was look
ing over his shoulder up the lane. In
stantly the truth of the situation wss
borne in upon old Scudamore.
The advantages and disadvantages
of the position passed before him. 1t

long before he could hope to overtake
them. On the other hand, his already
sharp ride had tired him, while their
horse was fresh. The road to Scot
land was anything but level 1t was
up hill and down dale all the way, and
old Scudamore knew that going uphill
they would outdistance him. for he

QUEEN VICTORIA'S SAY.

The most potent individuality in
Queen NictOria's life was. and is to-
day, that of her dead consort's the
Prince Alfred. His ideas and oft re-
peated advice has continued TO largely
mold her life and acts in all the yean,
since his death. 1t was he who in
fluenced her to use the power of the
corwn against English demonstration
during the late war in the United
States England was made an empire
under her reign. Her leanings have
always been towards the conservative
party. Her government during her
reign has been much in war. but apart
from the Crimean war and the Indian
mutiny, they have been so one-Sided
that her reign has been designated as
"a reign Of peace" 1t would prove a
terrible ending to her if the British
empire should become involved in war
in her last days That Queen Vie
toria in her 18th year would therefore
depreciate a conflict which once en-
tered upon might not only Outlast her
waning days but not end while the
British flag remained floating over a
single foot Of the American continents.
seems very probable. While. of course.
in the matters of policy and of admin
iStration. the crown of England plays
a very insignificant part, still the per-
sonal wish of Queen Victoria, under
all the circumstances of her long reign
would doubtless go far in influencing
the real government.
