The mirror. (Stillwater, Minn.) 1894-1925, 1895-08-15

The clerk in the Irvine factory evidently thinks
that he is 'playing in luck'' nowadays. In a
recent issue of THE MIRROR we mentioned the
fact of his having found. in bale of hemp.
fsh-hook which he is keeping for the
pleasant memories it awOke. On Tuesday his
lucky star was again in the ascendant-this
time it being cigar which he found in a bale
of hemp. With the secretiveness which is the
predOminating trait in his character he put the
cigar into an inner pocket of his coat and made
no mention of his find to anyone. That even
ing as we made the rounds of the galleries we
detected disagreeable Odor suggestive of burn
ing rags and, Sleuth like. followed the scent till
we arrived at cell. We looked in, and
through the dense cloud of smoke saw our
innocent friend, the clerk of the Irvine factory,
seated on his sOft-woOd bench complacently
putting away at vile smelling cigar with evil
dent enjoyment. We warned him of the folly of
suicide and begged him to throw away the
deadly thing before it was too late. But needless
of our warning he continued to puff away, and
with an air of superiority limited that we were
not accustomed to the flaver of imported CIGARS
he assured us, in patroniZng manner offensive
to eur sensitive nature, that he would remem-
Der us when he received the next lot from his
agent in the Philippine Islands.

FARM AND GARDEN.
TIMELY BEE NOTES.

THE apiary should be kept clean, neat
and tidy-clear of high grass, weeds
and rubbish.
DAMPNEss in hives is the most damag-
ing thing to bees during the winter.
that can befall them.
A SUFFICIENT number of drones is
necessary, but an overproduction of
them should always be prevented.
NATURAL swarming is not to be conf
pared with artificial swarming, or di-
viding up, in securing numbers, if the
proper plan is followed.
THERE is nothing gained on either
side by robbing. 1t is an injury not
only to the colony robbed, but also to
the one doing the robbery.
DIVIDING may be continued in safety
afterwards we desire more increase, it
may readily be secured by feeding.
ONE of the first steps is to give an
abundance of room for storing honey.
This will arrest the first cause of
swarming to a considerable extent.
ALL surplus boxes should be ar
ranged SO that they can be inspected
daily and removed as soon as they are
completed, occupying the space with
empty ones, and in this way giving
plenty of room at all times.
MUCH greater success is obtained in
securing straight combs by the use of
foundations, either by using full sheets
or starters of the same. But by proper
management success can be secured to
some extent, without either.
A COLONY selected for queens should
not be the one in which drones are
produced, as this will bring them too
near akin, which should always be
avoided. We should infuse new blood
in the apiary every year or two.
EMPTY combs are valuable. They de-
serve the best of care, and can be made
to last several years, doing good serv-
ice ixqnonths out of the year. Combs
that are new and bright are not near
ly so liable to become infected with
worms as those of a dark color.
IN managing surplus boxes, use but
one tier at time, and after they are
about half full of comb add another,
but never put in on top of the one be-
ing filed. Raise the full one out and
place the empty one under it. In this
way the bees will occupy the whole
double tier at once.
CARE must be taken to remove all
section boxes as soon as they are COM
pleted and add empty ones, always
keeping the ones nearest full in the
the upper tier. If the colony becomes
SO strong that two tiers of boxes will
not accommodate them, add third, or
as many as will give the bees working
room.-St. Louis Republic.

spirit, the life and soul of all the nego-
tiations, native wars, treaties and traf-
hckingS which eliminated in its crea-
ton.
This man Rhodes affords q living
example of what push, perseverance
and fair ability, combined with OPP
portunity, may accomplish. The writer
knew him not more than ten or twelve
years ago, when he was plain Cecil
Rhodes, miner and Spectator, at the
Kimberley diamond fields. His level
head and indomitable energy served
him well then, and he soon became
rich, retired from active commercial
life, entered politics and was elected to
the Cape parliament. He at once be-
came a leading figure in that body, rose
rapidly in favor and public popularity,
when about four years ago he was
made premier of Cape Colony, which
position he still retains.
He has made many expeditions to the
far north interior, and since being
prime minister he has constantly used
his powerful influence in furtherance
of British interests in South Africa.
Two years ago Queen Victoria be-
slowed upon him a knighthood in
recognition of these services, but the
later perpetuation of his name in a
state is the most to be envied of all his
honors.
Rhodesia, as before stated, is COM
prised of the two native territories,
Matabele and Mashonaland. The for
mer, Matabele, was for many years un-
der the despotic rule of the renowned
Lobengula, the most powerful as well
as the most cruel of modern African
monarchs. With his army of $4,000
thoroughly disciplined troops, he was
veritable African Sitting Bull, and
gave the English no small amount of
trouble. Had his army been equipped
with modern implements of war the
birth of Rhodesia would doubtless have
been considerably deferred, if not in
definitely postponed. But like the
long, dark procession of South African
monarchs, including the Inflated
Ceteyuayo, which had gone before
him, the naughty Lobengula was over
come, submitted to the pale-face, ac-
copied the scarlet coat and annuity of
rum and tobacco, and very soon after
ward completed the example by sud-
denly dying.
Rhodesia lies entirely within the
tropical belt, extending north from the
tropic of Capricorn to the Zambesi
| river, bordered on the east by strip
of alleged Portuguese territory, which
separates it from the Indian ocean:

the ground with a plow, and then use
a common road scraper in moving the
earth to the lowest side. Repeating
this operation, a circular or oblong ex-
cavation is made, with strong earth
banks. Then place four rocks on the
bottom, each as large as a half bushel
measure, letting them rest far enough
apart to be covered by a large, fat
stone, under which the shy fish
may hide. One such covert is
sufficient for pond of two or
three square rods in extent, while
several should be provided in larger
ponds If posi- Die make cold spring
tributary to the pond, or if practical BILE
make the pond around it, utilizing the
fountain head for the water supply.
Trout will succeed best in cold spring
water, but common creek water, if
pure, will serve the purpose. Spread
sand and gravel over portion of the
pond bed, but leave some of it with
earth bottom. The slope surrounding
the pond should be kept in grass, SO
that rains will not wash dirt into the
water. A neat gravel walk should en-
circle the pond, and shade trees plant
ed about it will serve to keep the wa
ter cool.
When angling for trout in the
brooks it will be noticed that more
than one-half of the fish caught are SO
little injured by the hook that they
will live if Immediately placed in fresh
water. Garry large pail, and by fire.
| quently changing the water two-thirds
of the catch may be saved for stocking
| the fish pond. A slower way is to OBJ
| tain the young fry from a fish hatch
cry. Very young trout can be fed on
boiled eggs chopped fine, and larger
ones on fresh beef cut into small
pieces. Other scraps that the fish will
eat, and which will not pollute the
water, may be given them. They
should be fed at least once a day, and
in the cool of the evening they will
frequently leap from the water to
snap gamily at the food that is thrown
| to them.
Trout spawn in September and Oc-
! tober, and it is well to take the screen
away from the terminal end of the
feeder in the fall, that the female fish
may be encouraged to lay their eggs
there.-George E. Newell, in Orange
| Judd Farmer.

Profit from an Acre of Hens.

1t is a progressive farmer who can
succeed in making one acre support a
COW. and he is then perfectly satisfied
with profit of $50 from her. If an
acre of land can be made to yield any
kind of crop that will pay profit of
$50, the success attending such a result
will be considered worthy of notice.
Profit means, of course, all that por-
ton of the gross receipts which remains
after the full expenses are paid, and a
profit of $50 an acre is very large. 1t
is easy to figure ION paperl the posi-
bilities of an acre of land, but there
are facts abundant to demonstrate that
$50 is but a small sum to derive from
one acre of land devoted to poultry
1t is rare to find a case where large
flock of poultry has been given the
space of one acre that the hens did
not pay well, although due credit is
not always allowed for the home
market, which calls for poultry and
eggs, accounts not being kept with the
family table. Farm and Fireside.

ssists in having created a new state from

GAME ON THE PLAINS OF MAsuoNALAND
and on the west it infringes on the
possessions of the British South Afri-
can company.
The capital of Rhodesia is Salisbury,
a town already claiming considerable
pretensions. It is pleasantly situated
near the eastern slope of the Fura noun
tains and is in touch with the world by
means of the telegraph wire. There
are other towns and numerous mining
camps in the new state. The country
is mostly high and undulating, and the
climate, though tropical, is much tenn
pered by this circumstance, and no
valid reason exists why a white man
should not enjoy as perfect health in
Rhodesia as in any other part of South
Africa. Game in every variety peculiar
to Africa may be found in this region.
While South Africa offers rare in
elucement for farming and stock raising
his fact alone could never have led to
the phenomenal development of a coun-
try so remote and little known to the
world.
The discovery of the fabulous dia-
mond deposits in Griqualand west,
back in the early '7Os, thrilled the
world and brought to the scene armies
of hardy, adventurous men from every
quarter thereof. But when hundreds
of square miles of ground had been
overturned and searched, and the spark
ling gems had been traced to the parent
mine, where Kimberley has since sprung
up, many disappointed miners organ
lied prospecting parties and moved to
the north.
No more diamonds were found, but
soon rich discoveries of gold were
reported. These were principally To-
Gated within the territory of the Boer
state, the Transvaal republic. Being a
long distance from the seaboard, and
no other mode of transportation for
food supplies or machinery than by
the slow OK team, these new gold
mines were somewhat slow in develop
ment. But capital was soon attracted.
and the construction of railroads be-
gan. Now these gold fields are reached
by rail both from Cape Town and
Natal; and Johannesburg, the seat OF
the principal mining industry, which
ten years ago was a desert waste, is
now fourishing city of more than 50.-
600 inhabitants, and her adjacent
mines are yielding an output of about
Sc, 900, 900 worth of gold per month.
But the thirst for gold is Unsuitable;
still northward, with rifle and pick,
the prospector has pressed, following
the enchanted lead through parched
| desert and across mountain range, into
Mashonaland and Matabele, where it
is declared the true and original Edo
fado has been found. That most mar
velous deposits of gold have been
located in this region there is no deny
ing; but the actual yielding capacity OF
| these discoveries cannot be estimated
until proper mining machinery has
been brought to operate upon them,
| At all events the new discoveries have
been the means of giving to the world

vestige of that ancient civilization van
ished from the earth, and the place
which knew it became the theater of
the most groveling and stubborn igno-
rance and barbarism within the entire
dominion of the Ozark Continent"
But in the dispensation of human
affairs it would seem that wise and
benefcent Providence had fairly COM
pensated for the loss of this early civil
Ization in the north by giving birth to
one more modern and vigorous and
permanent in the southern extremity
of the continent, and which is now
making rapid strides northward.
From the establishment of Cape Col
tony by Great Britain in the early part
of this century, modern civilization in
Africa may be said to date. The terri
tory of the original Cape Colony was
small IN area, and many years elapsed
before any perceptible progress had
been made. But British pluck and en-
terprise are not easily daunted; and
slowly, step by step, these sturdy pio-
meers penetrated the surrounding will
4derness, teeming with savage beasts,
and yet more savage tribes of men,
and began the task of subduing both.
The hand of friendship was ever ex-
tended to native rulers which, it is sad
ito say, was less frequently accepted
than rejected.
In the latter case the native ruler
was summarily thrashed into subjec-
tion, given a scarlet coat and an annu-
ity of rum and tobacco, which never
failed to insure his friendship for life.
/ It was thus, from 0sman and discour-
aging beginning, that large and prom
Using country has been opened to the
world, one which will afford happy
homes for millions yet unborn.
South Africa proper may be defined
as extending from Cape Agulhas and
.Algoa bay, in the south, to the Fam
Fbesi river, in the north, and from Cape
Trio, in the west, to the delta of the
IZambesi, in the east. This territory
embraces an area of over 1900, 600
square miles. While many native tribes
still roam in portions of this vast terri
tory, they all acknowledge allegiance
to some civilized power, and all the
worst types of barbarism have disap-
1peared. The British flag is the emblem
of authority over the greater portion OF
this country. Germany has a strip
along the west coast, while for many
years Portugal has had nominal con
trol over a considerable territory along
the east coast, including the Zambesi
