The New England Homestead says
There will be "A decrease i'll the New
England acreage this year not because
growers have agreed to plant less, but
because so Inany are forced to plant less.
That decrease, be it large or small, will
have very little effect on prices, because
the foreign supply of wrappers can be
drawn upon to any extent needed to fill
the deficiency

A Southern Apiarist Gives His Experience
on This Subject of General Interest.
Agriculture is like some other profess
rions in the way of progress, which seem
70 proceed, as it were, by a sort of ebb
ind flow. A one time it is ten frame
hives, then new idea" hives of a sin
gle story of 20, 80 or 40 frames, these
to relegate to the rear to give place to
hives of eight frames, and now these
latter will most likely pass with the ebb
for the flood tide to bring forward the
ten frame hive again. A Georgia corre-
spondent of The American Bee journal,
who in 1870 discarded the old box hive
in favor of the ten frame Langstroth
hive, gives his experience i'll hives as
follows:
The ten frame Langstroth hive gave
we good returns, but | wanted to do bet
Ter, SO when General Adair brought out
his small pamphlet on his New Idea
Hive" / applied the "idea' to the
Langstroth frame. Adair's frame was
close fitting all around, something like
a section. | made dozen of these hives
holding from 20 to 40 frames These
hives l worked exclusively for extracted
honey, but when the season was over
and the results summed up | found
got no better returns from them than l
did from my ten frame hives.
For several years past have been ox-
perimcnting with the eight frame hive,
and these experiments have taught me
that there is limit to hive space, modi-
fed somewhat by locality, which must
be observed i'll order to obtain the more
favorable results. IN my locality the
honey flow proper commences about the
1st of April and lasts till the middle of
June, after which there is dearth of
nectar till the lst of September, when
the fall flowers appear. The bees in the
eight frame hives would put tho surplus
i'll the sections III the second story and
not leave enough in the brood chamber
to keep up the working force of the col
ony for the fall pasture. The result was
a deficiency of stores and necessity to
feed to enable them to pull through the
winter. When spring came, they were
weak, and by the time they built up
the best of the honey season was over,
hut they did not so consider it and
would proceed to cast off an abundance
of unreasonable swarms.
Summing Up my experience Oh the
hive question, l am satisfied that, fo1
most locations, a hive of nine or ten
frames is as small as can be proftably
used for either comb or extracted honey.
By the way. l use a two story hive The
second story is devoted to either comt
or extracted honey, and for my manipu
lation of hives | want frame with g

Peas Do Rot vegetate.

Most gardeners have been more or less
annoyed by the failure of peas to vege-
tate. The loss of seed is not the greatest
veXation, though that is material, but
the loss of time A correspondent in The
New England Homestead writes: When
we plant our early peas and wait ten
days or two weeks for them TO put in an
appearance, only to find that they will
never grow. we cannot get back the time.
and so we have no early peas. A part {
the trouble comes from the fact thu
much of the seed is infested by weevils,
which have eaten out the germ and
ruined it, We are sorry to believe that
old seed, so old that it will not vege-
tate, sometimes gets mixed with fresher
seed and thus reduces the number that
grow. A still further factor in this
trouble is the neglect of the gardener to
suitably prepare the ground. In the
early spring when it is wet this is often
neglected, and the peas are covered with
Jumps of clay or heavy soil which soon
harden and effectually prevent the vines
from reaching tho surface. The ground
must be well mellowed before peas are
planted. Lastly, plant thickly. If all
come up they can be thinned if neces-
sary, but this is rarely called for.

The Weight of Hay.

Compact timothy hay requires about
500 cubic feet to weigh a ton (considera-
bly, more, perhaps 700, as it is brought
from the field, but the quantity will
vary with the pressure caused by the
height of the NOV and with the age of
the grass when cut, ripe and stiff grass
yielding less under pressure and requir-
ing more in bulk to weigh a ton. Stiff
coarse hay will be found to weigh less
than fine and flexible hay, which will
pack solid. The quantity We have stated
is a fair average for well settled hay,
says Country Gentleman.

Soil For the Potatn.

The American Agrioulturist, in con-
sidering the best soil for potatoes, tells
that in Maine most of the contestants
for the prizes for largest yields pre-
ferred "a gravelly loan soil, the origi-
nal growth having been of birch, beech,
maple and hemlock, while others chose
fine clay soil or n strong rocky loam.
In New York state the prize potato

Dear Sir: Yours received, enquiring
age of dam of Lord Clinton, when he
was fOaled. | think she was probably
about ID at that time. The dam is
known by the name of Fanny Scott.
She is brown mare with star, scalt
IL hands, of substantial and graceful
build, with remarkably strong hind quar-
tiers, as has also the sire of Lord Clinton,
Denning Allen. | own now Fanny
Scott and have from her full brother
to Lord Clinton, coming year old.
This colt have named Gen. oates. He
is black, has good size. remarkably fine
finish and shows for phenomenal trot-
ter. Fanny Scott is again heavy in foal
from Dennlng Allen. After two trips TO
Arkansas and Kentucky, | have succeed
ed in tracing Fanny Scott to her breeder.
She was bred by +. w. Hughes, then of
Logan county, now of Bowling Green,
Ky; she was got by a thoroughbred
horse called Revenue that was brought
to Kentucky from POwhatan Court
House, Va, by Mr.. Brown. Her dam
was superior saddle mare, said to be of
the COpper-bottom stock. and second
dam said to be by Stump the Dealer. |
have not been able to find the horse
Revenue in Bruces Stud Book, hut am
tracing his breeding and expect to soon
know it. | also expect to get more ac-
curate information of the dam and grand
dam of Fanny Scott. Mr.. Hughes
thought Fanny Scott was foaled about
1870, but had no memoranda to fix the
date. Truly yours.
JOSEPH BATTELL.
The most celebrated Revenue, by imp.
Trustee-Rosalle Somers, was foaled in
1913, and died in September, 1868. He
was bred in Virginia, and stood in Ken
lucky the latter years of his life, and it is
possible that he sired Fanny Scott, if she
was foaed in 1863, and Mr.. Hughes says
about 1870. Col. Bruce, however, thinks
it almost certain that her sire was Reve-
nue., Jr., foaled 1860. by Revenue
Pauline. This horse appears in the
Stud Book as bred by w. C. Scott, Penn
berton Co., Va. There is no PembertOn
county i'm the State, and this is, doubt
less, misprint for Pemberton, village
which is in Goochland county, on the
border of Powhatan county. The name,
w. c. Scott. also suggests Fanny Scott.
1t should not be difficult from this lead,
and with the assistance of Mr.. Hughes,
to demonstrate the breeding of the mare,
provided the surmise is correct.

THE WIND DID IT.
Why the South Topeka Fire House Had to
be Rebuilt.


The fire department building on South
Topeka avenue was considered danger
Gus and the firemen braced big piece
of timber on the north side of it 10 keep
the wall from falling out on the adjoin-
ing lot and moved up on North Main
street.
That was some time ago. The fire
boys were afraid the building would
collapse and bury them in the ruins.
Any of the Wichita firemen VIII rlss
their lives to save building wnen IL Is
reinc licked up by the flames. but when
in comes to being killed in the ruins OF
an old sleeping apartment they very
propery asked TO beeXcused
The brick is now on the ground anu
the building will be taken down ana re,
built after which the fire company VIII
return and save the city paying rent for
the North Main street building now oc-
cupied by il.
There is a story connected with the
moon shaped fire building which is GO
ing to be replaced with new eoiilce.
A good many years ago Wnen Nike
Zimmerly was the statesman from the
First ward and q prospective cano1d-
ate for rnayor and George Harris and
I, Pat Healey and r. K. Brown and \. A.
English and r. c.. Smyth were lnfiu-
entail members of the city council Pat
Healey suggested the ACCESSIBILITY OF
! buying the lots upon whlcn the semi
! circular building now STANDS Joe
Allen was mayor and his honor thouSh'
! it was good scheme.
| The lots were bought and the erec-
ton of a magnificent fire building for
the fire department was commenced.
Any two story building of brick those
! davs was considered as being ahead OF
the country and bankruptcy was pre-
dicted for the individual who should
| be foolish enough TO undertake Suoh a
/ costly experiment. S L. DAVIDSON mao
/ tried it and came through safe and
sound but ne was considered a very
wealthy man at that time.
| Fred Shatner was considered the only
man in America then who knew how
! to properly fill the office of city clerk
! and he advertised for bids for the new
| building and a man by the name OF
Mathewson who was not in any way
related TO the original Buffalo Bill. was
| the lowest bidder and got the contract
/ for erecting the new structure
Mr.. Mathewson thought the colored
man who mixed the morton was the
only expert needle about the building
The morton must be tempered just
about right but anybody could lay brick
| He hired Just whoever came along and
wanted a Job and soon the new building
began to rise above the foundation.
| Mathewson would draw a line along
! the south side and one along the north
| side and tell the mob to lay the brick
| to the line. There was a good strong
south wind blowing most of the time
which caused the line TO curve toward
| the north and the wall was laid TO the
| lines.
George Harris and Pat Healey went
down one day to see how the building
was getting on and they discovered
that il was going up in a serni-circular
shape and George Harris said that was
not the way to do it. Pat said he had
seen brick buildings in Illinois and he
thought the walls ought TO be straight
ANYHOW the two councilmen raised a
