A newspaper correspondent in
Washington city owns q rabbit foo,
which has never failed to bring
luck to its holder. 1t is the left
hind foot OF an Andersonville (Ga. J
National Cemetery rabbit and was
formerly the property Of Speaker
Crisp.
Wien Mr.. Crisp was a candidar,
for the Speakership three years ag.'
III admirer down in Andcrsonv,II,
sent him this rabbit foot with n let
'er questing that he hang it ovv,

Mr.. Crisp hung the talisman over
his door in the Metropolitan Holel.
nd on the night the caucus elected
HIM Speaker. While he was accep
ting the congratulations Of his
friends, the correspondent pointed
70 the rabbit foot over the door
aud remarked that it had done its
work.
Mr.. Crisp afterward had the rab-
bit foot mounted on silver and pre-
sented to the correspondent. At
that time the latter was earning a
small salary, but since he came into
possession of the trophy has gradu-
ally forged ahead until he is na~
one of the highest salaried men on
newspaper row.
One night about week ago, while
sitting in his Office, he received a
note from one of the most promi-
nent of Southern Congressman re-
questing him to come to Chambe
Inns Hotel quickly on a matter of
grave Importance. The correspon-
dondent rushed up and sent in his
card, which was Immediately an
swered by the Congressman. and

state.

Certainly" replied the CORES
pondent, as he handed out the rab-
bit foot and dropped his hopes of .
sensational news item.
The next morning the Congress
man appeared with bis face beam
ing with smiles. He had won back
his s700 and $500 more, and the
correspondent now has his rabbit
foot and the handsomest suit of
clothes that could be made in Wash

add few drops of the extract of Bit

ground coffee and half a tea-cup of
boiling water will make coffee flavor
ing. Put two thicknesses of cheese-cloth
over a cup, and make it bag into the
cup a little. Place the coffee on it,
and pour the boiling water over it.
When it has dripped through once
pour it over again. A few drops of this
will flavor a pound of fondant. Tea

ABOUT SWARMING.

duced to q Science.

duced to q Science.
All insects, as we'll as the animal
kingdom, says the Iowa Homestead
have some means of reproducing their
like, that their race may not be.
come extinct. Nature and their in.
stinct have taught them how. and the
time of season when all elements and
solar heat can assist them best. Per-
haps the wisest and most intelligent
of insects is the honey bee. In mid
winter, when the mercury drops down
to fifteen and twenty below zero, they
are making preparations to multiply
their race in wise and cunning way.
Before the solar heat can assist them
they begin, first by using only a small
space of comb, perhaps not larger in
diameter than a quarter dollar and not
containing more than fifty cells, and
then directly on the opposite side of
the comb the same amount of eggs are
deposited. If the cluster is large
enough the opposite comb is used in
the same way. Now, after the eggs
are Matched into grubs and the temper
AZURE of the hive will permit, the circle
will be enlarged and perhaps an adjoin-
ing comb used. This process is con-
stantly repeated every twenty-one
days. every time charging the circle.
The queen is not so particular when
the days begin to warm up and the
solar heat ca.n assist them. The entire
hive will soon be used to multiply their
number: but the population itself is not
sufficient to divide themselves into col
onies, unless all things are favorable.
They will not divide themselves into
colonies, be they ever so numerous. In
my grandfather's time the population
of the colony was a sure sign of the
colony casting a swarm, and many
day, week and perhaps month was
faithfully Watched for the cast. but all
in vain. But in these days all enter
prising beekeepers can tell the very
condition of the colony and whether
they are preparing to swarm within
eight days or not by simply opening
the hive. An expert can tell by OBJ
serving the motion of the bees without
making an examination inside. Al
expert can also force the colony
to cast swarm at his COM
mand without dividing. A colony
of bees, in their normal condi-
ton to cast swarm, must con-
sist of one good, prolific queen, from
sixty to eighty thousand workers and
a few hundred drones. Next, there
must be a continuous flow of nectar to
be gathered. and the bees must have a
daily gathering of honey and pollen of
from one to five pounds. To bring out
a natural prime swarm it must continue
for ten to twenty days, as this is essen
tial for the queen to develop to her full
laying capacity. She must lay from
two to three thousand eggs daily for a
certain length of time to have the col
ony in normal condition to cast prime
swarm. Brood must be in all ages,
from the egg to the maturing bees,
and the queen must use all the comb in
the hive and all things must be favora-
BILE in the field. If all these things ex-
list you may look for your bees to
swarm. but if they do not you do your
watching in vain.

Timothy and clover Compared.

Timothy and clover, says the New
York Times. has been standard mix
ture for hay, and pasture after it, and
in some localities, as where the sum-
mers are comparatively cool. it does
very we'll But where the summer
heat is greater, the timothy does not
mature as soon as the clover, and I'M
less the clover is cut too late the tim
othy is not ready for cutting. Thus it
is better to use an earlier grass, as Or
chard grass, which is in its best condi-
ton for cutting at the same time that
the clover is. Another advantage as
to this grass is that it is far more
permanent than timothy, and after the
clover has run out it will occupy the
land for many years, certainly thirty
or forty, with good management, as,
for instance, frequent top dressings
with manure, and some new seed, to
be covered in with a harrow, the har-
rowing being done after the manure
has been spread, so that the seed is
covered and the manure broken and
spread at the same time.

MOVING THE POULTRY HOUSE.

The birds are quartered in it and
drawn to the field. where they are fed
once Or twice in the house to accustom
them to it. Then they are supplied
with plenty of water and turned upon
the stubble, changing them about to
fresh forage as often as they seem to
require new ground, to find sufficient
of the fallen grain. If the house be
built of half-inch matched boards, it
will be found light enough to be moved
easily, and will prove quite a saving in
feed from year to year. During the
winter months, when other more i'm
portant work is not pressing, time may
be put to good advantage by construct
ing such a movable poultry house
