Protecting HnleGSn and Cucumber
Vines.

The worst enemy the cucumber,
squash, pumpkin, and melon vines
have is the little striped beetle. 1t
not only eats the pulp from the un-
der side of the leaves, but destroys
the stalk, and if the soil is loose it
eats the stalk below the ground !;
therefore it is a difficult matter to
fight it with insecticides. For a
garden where less than two dozen
hills are planted, the safest and
cheapest way to protect the vines is
by a covering of mosquito netting or
cheese cloth, cut into pieces Is or 20
inches square. These, to add to their
durability, should be first dipped
in oil and wrung as dry as posi-
BILE. Now take a piece of No. IL or
IA wire-galvanized if possible
cut into 20-inch lengths, bend five
inches at each end at right angles,
and set them two inches into the
ground at the corner of each hill.
The netting is spread over this
frame, and the edges are covered
with a little soil to keep it in place.
This thin covering, while admitting
plenty of light and air, also keeps
out the little striped beetles. Gu
cumbers can thus be protected un-
til they send out laterals, and even
if the vines press against the top
and sides it does not injure them.
Put on the protectors just as the
plants are breaking through the
ground, removing them in about
three weeks. Kept in dry place
when not in use they will do good
service eight or ten years.

No climate on earth is so hard on
the running gear of farm wagons as
here in the West and this is the time
of the year when the spokes begin
to rattle and give the most trouble.
Tht door Of nearly every black
smith shop is blocked with the
wheels of vehicles. The wagon is
generally used just as long as
possible, until finally tire will slip
off and a broken wheel probably re-
suits. Being a busy season for the
blacksmith several days may elapee
before the repairing can be done, and
thus considerable loss accrues to the
unfortunate owner. If the work of
setting tires was similar to that of
greasing harness it might be done
during bad weather, but on rainy
days wagon tires give no trouble.
Much of the loss resulting from
loose tires can be prevented If due
precautions are taken and the
vehicles properly cared for. In
localities where the roads become
rutted and afterward grow very hard
the paint is quickly rubbed off the
felloes and ends of the spokes in
wagon and buggy wheels. The
vehicles are then frequently allowed
to stand out in all kinds of weather.
The felloes not being protected by
paint become thoroughly soaked
and when dried out by the hot sun
they shrink, lessening the size of the
wheel and consequently loosening
the tire. To prevent this the felloes
should be protected from wet, which
is best done by keeping in dry sheds.
Oiling the felloes occasionally
has been found beneficial where
they are inclined to dry out. For
oiling them small trough a trifie
wider and deeper than the felloes is
needed. In it place linseed oil
heated to the boiling point. I'm
mediately turn the wheel slowly
through the boiling oil. Two or
three revolutions will probably be
sufficient. Do the same with the
next wheel. Then add little more
of the boiling oil and proceed with
the remaining wheels. When the
operation is completed the oil re-
naming can be returned into a
vessel and kept until needed again.
Do not wait until the tires begin
to loosen, but give each set of wheels
an application in the early part of
the summer. Then if the vehicles
are kept in the shade when not in
use, they will not need to be treated
again until the next year. 1t is
not bad plan to give the felloes a
good coat of paint each summer
after they have been thoroughly
soaked with oil.

FarnQ Notes.


weeds and rubbish.
Dampness in hives is the most
damaging 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.
If bees are fixed up in good frame
hives in good shape. very little ex-
perience is needed to obtain good
results.
Bees may be kept in prosperous
condition the entire season without
a queen, but must be supplied with
brood from other sources.
Natural swarming is not to be
compared with artificial swarming,
or dividing 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.
One of the first steps is to give an
abundance of room for storing hon.
ey. This will rest the first cause of
swarming to considerable extent
lift is necessary to cover the hands
in handling bees, use thin rubber
gloves. The sting of the bee cannot
penetrate this, while it is not cum
bersome.
Dividing may be continued in
safety as long as the honey flow lasts,
and if afterwards we desire more in
crease, it may readily be secured by
feeding.
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 mana cement sue
cess 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
deserve the best of care, and can be
made to last several years, doing
good service six months out of the
year Combs that are new and
bright are not nearly so liable to be-
become infested with worms as those
of dark color.
In managing the 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 being 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
completed and add empty ones, al
ways keeping the ones nearest full
in the upper tier. Ifthe colony be-
comes so strong that two tiers of
boxes will not accommodate them,
add a third or as many as will give
the bees working room.

Snow in Midsummer.

In the mountain passes of West
Virginia, and in the deep ravines,
along the line of the West Virginia
Central railroad, there are immense
snow drifts which the warm rays of
the sun never touch and which will
linger until spring is far advanced.
1t is said that on Texas mountain,
which is a rugged and towering
knob, not many miles from Elkins,
that snow is packed so tightly IN
some of the small caverns in the
cliffs that it will take many a sultry
summer day to meltit. These cliffs
are not exposed to the sun, and dur
ing the entire summer, deep back in
the recesses, there are said to be
cold pools OF water which trlckle
down the creyices of the rocks, and
the flow is attributed to the melting
of the snow of the winter before or
many previous winters.

CASE OF SPOLIATION
SUPREME COURT DECISION AS 1T is
APPLIED TO CUsTODIAN's BILL.
Court Made an Exception In Going
Behind the Recommendations
Sheets.

There is still a question If the effect
of the recent Supreme Court decision on
the fee and salary act of 1891 in which the
court refused to go behind the returns in
the case from Benton county. Tt was at
first thought that this would preclude the
court from going behind the returns In
the custodian act case. But the further
reading of the opinion shows that the
court made an exception, that it would
not go back of the enrolled bill except in
case of spoliation of the GILL; and the Re-
publican claim is that the enrolled bill was
the victim of spoliation. Its charred re-
mains are in possession of the Secretary
of State, and will be in evidence to show
the fact of spoliation.
The court in the fee and salary case
says that no claim of spoliation was made
in the Benton county case, and therefore
1T could not pass upon the act from that
pressed by the Attorney general is being
pressed directly upon that point which will
then be before the Supreme Court. The
by the County Officers Association in his
efforts to get the Legislature to rectify the
bill and thus avoid a great deal of litiga-
ton, says they have in effect pulled the
temple down on their own heads, and he
indicates that he is in no hurry to extri-
cate them from the ruins.
The settlement sheets will be sent out
this week to county treasurers by the Audi
tor of State. accompanied by copy of the
letter from the Auditor instructing the
treasurers what they must do. This let
ter will include an opinion by the Attorney
general upon such points of the opinion as
need further elucidation. There is a ques-
ton to how those who have been draw
