document states, though not in thesS

which I agree to pay back. together

good investment; he gets interest and
has some chance of winning bet OF

HERE AND THERE,

Prof. Cook, of the Michigan expert
ment station, reports that he knows
nothing SO good to rid poultry of lice
as kerosene and lard; or better, scro-
sene and sulphur.
by little concert Of action the
farmer can soon be master OF the situa-
ton. Why should you go on, year in
and year out, raising crops that do not
Weld fair return? There is but one
way to make yourself independent, and
that is the plan a bove proposed. Diver
sify your crops.
"A good pure-bred boar will soon
breed up the herd, and most farmers
have their hogs we'll graded up. The
next step is to get one or two pure
bred Pows, and with n still better
boar raise the best pigs for market,
that will command the top price, and
soon have all pure-bred stock on the
far,n.-Western Live Stock Journal
Let every tillcr of the soil begin
now to practice diversified farming in

cul tivate 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, if
prices do not suit you, you will not be
forced to osell.-Southern Agriculturist.

If farmers would consume more
poultry and less pork. they would be
healthier and live longer. There is no
meat which compares with vell-bred

AN NIGH FROM DEATH.

1t Might Have Been the Most Horrible OF
Fates, Too.
We were sitting on the veranda OF
our bungalow one evening in far-of
Burmah, r. A. and I, enjoying our
atter-dinner cheroot- The waters of
the bay Tapped lazily at the sands at
our very feet, for our house was
''builded on the sslnds" of the shore.
All the world seemed at peace, only
the ''plunk! plunk!" of the monotonous
casional weird note of the jackal,
signaling in the distance to his COM
rades, were heard. The moon had come
up from behind a rocky island just
over in the bay, and spread flood OF
golden-yellow light over the silver
topped breakers. rolling in over a
neighboring coral reef 1t was so
calm and beautiful that it seemed that
all that was wicked and bad had gone
out of the world, and yet death lurkcd
Just at my friends elbow, as he puffcd
unconsciously at his cheroot.
We had been discussing in leisurely
manner something that had happened
friend arose, and. stretching himself
lazily, sauntered into his bedroom tc
get a paper bearing on the matter we
had been discussing. Usually lights
were placed in all the bedrooms, but
this evening, for some nnaccountab BILE
reason Oily tne hoOul1Snt-Ihe
servant had not performed his duties.
1 could hear my friend fumbling about
on his dressing table. and then sudden
ly he gave a quick cry of horror and
rushed out to the light.
Il have been struck by snake,' he
gasped. and his face was deadly pale.
Where is it? Quick! Show me!'
exclaimed, as whipped out a knife.
He held out his right arm. There
was no mark on the hand, which ex'
amined critically, but on the cuff OF
the shirt were two tiny scratch-like
punctures, and two little globules OF
poison sinking into the scratched linen,
leaving a siclly, greenish-ycllowm mark

WIG RIOTS.
Troubles Among the Hairdressers of
Olden Times.

Troubles Among tho Hairdressef0 or
Olden Times.
A long chapter might be written on
hairdressers, their rights and wrongs
and revolutions; but they have always
been stanch tories in their hatred of
wigs. England had her wig riot III the
reign of George H.; Milan had hers in
the reign of Maria Theresa. 1t arose
from an audacious attempt by some
restless innovator to cover every
fashionable head in Milan with 4 wig
save some three hours daily toll and
endurance in the dressing of the hair.
Up rose the hairdressers like one man.
and petitioned the empress to save
them from the threatened ruin of their
art.
The empress listened to their prayer,
and straightway decrecd that anyone
wearing one of these new-fangled
periwigs must pay a fine of fifty
sequins or be thrice scourged in
public. She further empowered the
police to search private houses for the
offending article, and to destroy it If
found. To this imperial legislation
Goldoni alludes in the doggerel lines:
In that great day It came to pass
That Q gentle countess was forced. alas!
For her hairdresser's sake to forego her
mass.
He kept her too long at her toilet.

Look out for robbers when tho har-
vest becomes scarce.
When the harvest is plenty you can
let honey stand around unprotected for
half a day.
But woe 10 to you if you try that
trick after the honey fow has ceased.
And when robbing commences your
bees that had seemed SO quiet and gem
tie become like littls demons.
I'll tell you trick worth knowing
about robbers.
II they commence on a comb of honey
or on a weak colony, and have got fair
ly to work, don't take away what
they're working at and leave nothing
in it's place.
If you do. they'll go to hunting all
over to find what has become of it,
and like as not pitch on the nearest
col ony and clear it out.
But leave in its place something that
looks like it, with ut least Il little
honey in it, and when they get that
all cleaned out they'll leave it atis-
fed, thinking they've got all there is
to he had.
If robbers are started on n colony
that you thinlt might take care Of
hay around it.
Pile it a foot high abou. the en-
trance.
Then pour water on it.
Drench it good
Keep pouring on some r1ofe.
The robbers won't stand that very
long.
But if the colony is queenless and
weak, the robbers will begin work
again as soon an it dries OF.
Better not keep any queenless col
onics 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 a good queen
will be glad OF them.
If you work for extracted horey,
don't extract too close.
Nowadays it isn't considered beat to
| extract out of the brood nest
| 1t pays to leave all in the brood nest.
| and perhaps n little beside.
| Unless the com bS are crammed very
! full the bees may starve before that
time.
| They'll not wasteit if they have more
than they need.
The only possible danger is that there
may be SO much honey in the brood
nest that there isn't room for the queen
| to lay.
There is some pressure just now tc
get the government to have apis dor
sata, the giant Indian bee, imported.
But those who ought to know say il
will be all in vain.
It's a breed of bees that can not b.
kept in hives.
Better work for improvement on the
bees we have.
They've been bred for color till they
arc all yellow.
Now if breeders breed as much fo
quality rs they have for looks. grea

Hens ns Weed Destroyer.,

If a hen and chicks are placed In u
yard or confined on a small plot, every
blade Of grass, as we'll as every weed,
will be destroyed, and in a few days
the plot will be clean as if burned
over. When hens are confined in yards
the yards arc clean and bare of vegeta-
ton. When the hens are on n range
they also destroy thousands of young
weeds, which is not noticeable, but
which is nevertheless the case.
