BEES AND THEIR WAYS.
How to Put Knowledge Obtained frou

How to Put Knowledge Obtained from
iooks Into Practice.
We advise everyone who intends to
learn agriculture to begin in the spring
with a colony or Two of bees, and then
he can put his knowledge obtained
from books into practice. This is the
only way to become an expert.
To everyone contemplating a pur.
chase of colony or two of bees we
would suggest the following: Do not
be carried away with the notion that
the heavier colony of bees is the bet
ter it is. We have known many sadly
disapp pointed III following out this idea.
The colony selected may have very few
bees in it, 1t may be full of honey, to
be sure but the bees that made it
may have long since disappeared, the
queen may have died and no bees have
been reared and, consequently, no con-
sumption of honey was demanded for
raising young brood. Hence the great
quantity of honey left. If the box in
which the colony is be large, as many
of them are in the old style, there may
be great deal of honey and good
colony of bees at the same time.
To ascertain whether a colony has q
live, active and laying queen is another
important matter which can be easily
found. In movable comb hives IL is
very easy to discover the presence Of
the queen. even II You do not see her.

some That Were Imported In 1892 Ara
Doing Well in California.
In the summer of 1892 flock of thir-
teen sheep which arrived in New York
attracted much attention. They were
brought from Persia by Hon. Truxton
Beale, on his return from service as
United States minister plenipotentiary
near the court of the shah. The sheen
were not shaped in accordance with
American ideas of symmetry, nor wers
they uniform in color. But the strils.
ing popularity was the tail-so broad
and massive as to appear almost like
continuation Of the launches In
color they were of various shades of
brown and gray, but the prevailing
tone was dark, reddish brown. After
undergoing the necessary legal
quarantine, they were forwarded to
California, where they and their prog
eny are now in the hands of Mr.. C. P.
Bailey, the noted breeder of Aneora
goats. The climate of California has
proved highly favorable to them, and the
original flock has more than doubled.
The mutton of these sheep is said to be
very fine in quality and flavor. The
tail is composed almost wholly of fat,
and is esteemed a great delicacy, and
is used in cookery as butter is en-
ployed among western people. 1t
often weighs from 20 to so pounds
when the animal is in good condition.
The entire live weight of these sheep
is from 15C to $50 pounds for rams, and
l25 to l40 pounds for ewes. The f1eeces
are light and of little value. The
staple is known in the markets as

A PAIR OF VETERANS.

A pair OF worm out veterans
Each night put to rest,
Two dauntless bold adventures
Worn out by tireless quest
They scurried through the dewy grass
To find "a flower des gr1wed."

That lined the country road.
They went to hunt the baby-cah'
And caught splash Of mire.
Sailed In the brook, and then were dried

Smyrna wool, and is employed chiefly
for making carpets. The rams cross
very successfully on the ewes Of
Merino and other American breeds. the
lambs being heavier and of earlier ma
turity than pure-bred Merino. The
counter cross is not as practicable for
structural reasons.
The Persian sheep, widely as they
differ from the European and American
breeds, are fairly typical of the ovine
race which has grazed the hills and
valleys of western Asia from the ear
liest historic ages. That the sheep so
frequently referred to in the Bible
were Of this type is evident, not only
from the testimony of history, but also
from the sacred writ itself. In Levitt
Gus, third chapter ninth verse, it is
commanded that when lamb was sac.
rifced as peace offering, the priest
rump off hard by the back bone" The
seven thousand sheep of Job, the focks
which David watched on the plains Of
bethlehem, and the sheep which are
found to-day in western Asia in num-
bers from the single lamb reared in
the PEASANTS hut to the great Aoclls
which constitute the woolly wealth Of
some great sheik or hey, all are typified
by these Persian sheep. They are adj
mirably adapted to the situation in
which they are found. The peculiar
appendage which marks them from
other ovine races is really a provision
against vicissitudes of their climate.
Like the hump of the bison, camel and
zebra, it is a reservoir of fat, which
sustains the life of the animal when
food resources partially fail. In periods
of drought or scarcity of food, the tail,
like the humps referred to, bee ONES alb

again to full proportions when the
rains have started the pasturage into

THE KAISER SHOWED HIM HOW.
William Plays the Part of a Sailor with
Mug of Beer


Mug of Beer.
Having gradually filed many roles,
EmperorWilliam has now added another
to his repertory.
Abiding to it as "good-natured joke
at Kiel," the London Daily News Berlin
correspondent tells the story thus:
AS Emperor William was stepping
on board his yacht the other day he
was met by sailor named Joerg, who
had in his hand mug of beer which he
was carrying into the officers cabin.
The emperor was very much amused
at the discontinue of the poor fellow,
who did not know at first what to do,
and who finally saluted the emperor,
holding the beer mug convulsively
against the seam of his brooches. The
emperor stepped up to the sailor and
addressed him most amiably:
''See, Joerg, you haze done that very
stupidity, and will show you how one
should behave in such situation. Go
up and imagine that you are the en-
peror, and shall be the sailor, Joerg."
The poor fellow did not dare remon-.
strate. He had to come on board by the
imperial gangway, and Emperor Will
liam met him below in his new role of a
sailor, with beer mug.
When he saw Joerg, the emperor af-
fected some embarrassment, but he
then set the glass to his lips, emptied
it completely, put it down on the ships
ledge, and then made his salute.
"Do you see, Joerg? That is the way
II must be done. Now remember. And
now go below and tell them to give you
another glass of beer, and one for you,
too. If they question you, just tell
them that said so and that they
should not be angry, for the beer was
beautifully fresh and tasted very good"

Number OF Horses I'm France.

France possesses t-the present mo-
ment 100000 horses, or 100000 less
than Germany. Out of this 3,OOO,0
from 100000 to 100000 are employed in
town work, 100000 to 10000 in army
work and the remainder in agriculture.
The number of horses employed in
urban work increases much more rap
idly than that of the inhabitants, which
Is attributable to the multiplication Of
omnibuses, teams and other vehicles.
Thus Paris, which previously to 1870,
only had 10000 horses, now has leo, 600

this fight, IL IN estimated. Tho French
forces, with Tom Smith In the lead, hold
on until about o'clock on Wednesday
morning After the fight was over it was
found that Jake Mcknight and ED Camp,
bell had been killed. Campbell fell from
a bullet from Joo Dayldson's gun, and Nc
Knight was killed by Tom Smith. The
French faction did not lose n man.
For this fight all the Eycrsole and
French people were indicted, and their
trials, except that Of Smith, were removed
u Winchester. Later Smiths case was re-
moved Co Pincvillc, where he was tried,
found guilty and sentenced 20 the penitcn-
tiary for life. HIS case was reversed by
tho court of appeals, and the indictment
was finally filed away.
Smith then went down into Breathitt
county and there led the life of libertino
and general tough.
Last September he went into jackson
one afternoon and was soon under the in.
fiuence of white whisky and began 10 try
To run the town. When Marshal ii. g.
Hurst, Jr., and his deputy attempted 70
arrest him, he and several OF his chums
opened fire on the officers. They returned
the fire promptly A bullet from Marshal
Hurst's pistol struck Smiths left arm and
shattered the bone into splinters. 1t also
severed an artery, and Smith came very
near bleeding TO death. This was the first
and only time he was ever wounded.
A few weeks before this episode he had
become aqainted with Mrs. Catherine Nc
Quinn, whose insane husband Is I'm tho
asylum at Lexington, Ky. She owned a
farm about four miles from jackson, and
Smith went there and lived with her.
In February Of this year Smith CON
ceived the idea that DIR. j. Il. RAIDER car
ried large sum of money on his person.
RAIDER had a short time before been re
leased from the penitentiary.
In order to get this money Smith told
DIR. RAIDER that he was subject TO fits and
that he wanted a doctor to go out to Mrs.
McQuinn's with him and watch his symp-
toms while the fits were on him.
RAIDER went on Feb. 4, and the next
morning his body was found on the floor
of the McQuinn house with bullet hole
through his heart. Both Smith and Mrs.
McQuinn were arrested and tried for the
crime. Mrs. McQuinp testified that Smith
assassinated RAIDER while he slept, and
Smith testified that Mrs. McQuinn shot
him.
1t seems that each jury believed the tes-
timony they heard, for the l2 men who
tried Smith were only three minutes in
deciding that he was guilty, and that his
punishment should be death, while the
jury that tried Mrs. McQuinn had been
out only q few minutes when they re-
turned a verdict Of guilty and fixed her
punishment at Imprisonment for life
