CAEICATURE is n universal practice
among the Chinese and Japanese but
owing to their crude taste and lack of
perspective their efforts are not inter-

to say, when they wanted to indulge
in caricature chose their gods as sub

THAT the Egyptians were a good

AMONG THE CELESTIALS.

The most beautiful women of China
are of Soo-Chow. They are, as a rule,
prcttier than the women of Japan.
IN spite of their modesty Chinese girls
do flirt and in proper European fashion.
AT church they make eyes at the young
men and on the way to school.

handful and beating a log with it to
scatter the kernels or the ground. The

CHINESE fish with cormorants. The
birds sit on sticks projecting over the
water and are trained by being starved
and then throttled SO they cannot swal-
low the fish they catch. They are rag

AS COMPARED with Japan, one feature
of every view is strikingly in favor of
China. The dress and behavior of the
Chinese will not offend Europeans.
The women are modest and dress in a
baggy garment which completely COW

A CORNER FOR SOLDIERS.

OF the recruits in the British army
last year 81. 094 were born in England,
1867 in Scotland and $500 in Ireland.
Thirteen hundred and five of these
young soldiers were under seventeen
years of age.
ENGLAND proposes to fortify the
island of Perrin in the Strait of Babel
Mandeb, through which all vessels
using the Suez canal must pass.
Hitherto the garrison has consisted of
forty Sepoys, under 4 native Indian
officer.
PROMOTION in the Guards will here
after be on the same terms as in the
rest of the British army. since Col.
Paget, OF the Scots Guards. who has
just attained his colonelcy, IS the last
officer still serving who joined the
corps before the abolition of the pur-
chase system.
CAPT. JOHN NJ. BROOKE, a professor
at the Virginia Military institute, is
one of the few survivors ofthe Monitor
McrriInac fight. He served on the
confederate man-of-war, and has an adj
ditional claim to be remembered as the
inventor of the deep-sea sounding ap-
paratus.
Two III officers of every grade,
from colonel down to sergeant, and
representing every branch of service in
the German army, have just left Berlin
for Valparaiso. Their services have

by Emperor William for the purpose of
r~eOrganizing the CHILEAN army. They
are to remain in South America for a

WHEN TO SELL HOGS.
In September and October the Pig Sup
ply Usually Short.

ply IsudAAS ohO.t.
While prices for hogs ductuate much,
sometimes when it is difficult to see a
sufficient reason for a change, it has
generally been true that prices have
been relatively higher a few weeks in
September and the early part of OctO-
Der. At this time the supply of fat
hogs is usually small. The spring
Comparatively few fall pigs are
dropped. Most farmers prefer to wait
until they can feed the new crop of
corn before beginning full feeding.
If we may judge of the past. it will
be good policy TO have any small fall
pigs and brood sows, which it is not
desired to retain for breeding pur-
poses, ready for the market at this
time. For years past we have thought
the common practice of allowing sows
to become quite thin in flesh while
sucking their filters a mistake. If
they are kept in fair flesh they can be
fattened in q snort time after the pigs
are weaned. In several recent years
such sows would have been sold for as
much by the first of October as could
have been obtained for them at any
date notwithstanding their increase in
weight.
The evidence S strong that the sup
ply of good, fairly heavy hogs is now
small. 1t is quite probable they Will
be IN good demand as cool weather
comes on. With present indications as
to prices for corn it WOULD seem good
economy TO feed with reference to
prompt fattening instead of with the
desire simply OF keeping the hogs in
moderate 1esh-a plan Of doubtful
economy most generally, except for
breeding ADMINISTRATIVE Farmer.

Shading the Poultry Yard.

The yard should be spaded as often
N the season as possible, in order to
turn under the filth. and also to have
the surface clean and free from weeds.
in order hal less dampness may exist
in winter. When the ground is frozen
over IN winter or baked in summer, the
droppings will accumulate in the
yard; but if they are carefully spaded
and raked until the surface is smooth,
the cleaning can be done more easily.
On sandy soils the spading of the
yards loosens the top soil and permits
the rains TO carry down much of the
.ilth tha would otherwise remain. A
thorough cleaning up late in the sea-
son, before cold weather sets in, and
good drainage afforded, will greatly
aid in preventing disease IN the flock

ALLEY TRAP.

freely. but not the larger drones. The
latter. trying to escape TO the outer air,
crawl about in search of an exit. and
finally find it through the apex of the
wire cone shown in the center of the
trap. The latest patterns contain
three concs.D This leads them into an
upper chamber or apartment entirely
inc.Osed with perforated strips. and
from which there is no exit Tor them,
except through the one by which they
entered, a route they are very seldom
able to retrace. n this way in the
course Of one or two warm afternoons
about all the drones in the hive may
be captured and destroyed at leisure.
Or, if n does not care to kill them,
an opening from the end of this cham
Der to the outer air, closed by ii sliding
tin, may he left open and the drones
allowed to pass out this way. As they
cannot return by this route, they are
effectuallv debarred from reentering
the hive. If this method is adopted,
however, care should be taken that
they do not simply go into another
hive. If they are killed while Gagged
see that no workers are with them.
So much for this ALLEY trap" as it is
called, as a drone eNcluder. As Il
queen catcher it is also valuable. The
queen is also larger than the workers,
hence unable to pass through the per-
forated zinc. To prevent the issuing
and departure of a swarm during the
absence of the apiarist. place the trap
before the entrance as for drones, TAX
ing care to see that the entrance at the
end is closed. If Il swarm attempts to
issue the queen will either be forced
back into the hive or caught in the
drone chamber. and held till the re-
turn or convenience of the apiarist. OF
course the swarm is not likely to go
without her.
Formerly it wa considered sufficient
to catch her, and prevent the departure
of 4 swarm to parts unknown. Now a
new feature is being successfully intro
duced-a self-hiver. The top of the
trap is perforated or removed for this,
and a box made with the ends ittine
tightly over the ends of the trap, IL.
back consisting of the front of the
hive, and the front a sloping board,
not too smooth, extending upwards;
all forming a second chamber above
the trap, bee-tight. but With open top,
which should be exactly on Il level with
the top of the hive. On top of this,
place the hive into which you wish to
introduce the new swarm The large
chamber of the sclf-hiver then will
open at the top, directly into the empty
hive, and the swarm following their
queen mp through the trap, will pres
emily find themselves in their new hive.
BY placing a trap across the entrance
to this to retain the queen, one can be
sure the swarm will stay here, and at
the same time allow the workers free
passage out of and into their new home.
BY this method one may leave the
apiary to look after itself for the day,
without fear of losing a swarm of bees,
and find them on his return at night
already hived and settled in their new
quarters.-American Gardening.

Keep the Ducklings Dry.

1t is claimed that the Pelin duck
will thrive well without ponds. II is
true that the ducklings can be more
easily raised away from ponds or
streams than when allowed to have ac-
cess thereto, bat this is due to the fact
that most ducklings are matched with
incubators during the winter season,
when the cold waters of the pond
would chill them and cause loss. Young
ducks will thrive better if they are
kept away from the ponds until they
are well feathered; but despite all
claims in favor Of the Pekin duck as
being adapted to dry locations, my ex-
p~erience is that the adult ducks are
more contented when they have a pond.
Like all aquatic birds, they enjoy the
water, and though they will thrive on
an open field away from water Except
for drinkingl, yet they give the best re-
suits when they nave the privileges Of
a pond.-Farm and Fire side.

Almost any warn afternoon one MAJ
see numerous large black bees buzzinp
about the hives with a noise equal to
more than twice their number of work.
ers- These are the drones who toll not,
and are useful only to fertilize the
queen. As this is necessary but once
IN her lifetime, it is evident that By
far the greater part of a drone's life is
spent in useless consumption of stores.
Nor is this all; as soon as honey be-
comes scarce in the field the attention
of many of the workers is taken ND
with destroying these idIers, and the
working force depleted to that extent.
1t is no uncommon thing to see two or
more workers hauling out a drone,
and either executing him or driving
him into exile.
1t is important to save the bees as
much work as possible, and thus econo-
mize their time. That is just what
drone traps are for, and the one here
illustrated is regarded almost univer-
sally as tie drOne trap for all apiaries.

Green Food for Poultry.

The feeding of green food to poultry
in summer demands some attention,
says the Farmers Home Journal, espe-
cially if the fowls are confined in the
yards. 1t is usually the custom to
chop green food to a fine condition and
place it where the fowls can reach it.
Such a practice is the best for the win
ter, but in summer it is a saving of la
Dor to use Il spade and take a large sod
TO the fowls. They can thus pick at it
to advantage, and will be better salts
fed, not ceasing until they have eaten
tops, leaves, stems and roots, as well
as scratching the earth to pieces. Even
clover is given in this manner, and reg
etables need not be cut if they are ac-
ceptable. One thing connected with
feeding green food is hal the hens do
not bite the grass, but pull, conse-
quently when they receive green food
they can supply themselves much more
easily when the sod is given. A stock
of clover would simply be pulled about
the yard and be eaten with difficulty,
but if the earth is attachedt to the roots,
the fowls will easily manage it.
