HISTORY OF THE MINES.
A Famous Lawsuit in Which Guns Were
Freely Drawn.

Freely Drawn.
The Tiger and Poorman mines were
discovered and located in September,
1885-The Tiger by old man Benjamin
and John Cartin, and the Poorman by
George p Carter. In 1886 S. S. Glidden
and John M. Burke had acquired the
Tiger, apd the Poorman had passed into
the hands of Scott Mcdonald and A.
Wertenweiler. Enough development
work has been done to prove that both
properties. which, on the same vein, were
Of great richness, and meanwhile liti-
cation had sprung up between the two
claims. The Tiger claimed the hillslope
to the creek, and the Poorman people
claimed that these lines overlapped
their location. which had the advan-
tags of priority. and that their lines ran
across the creek and well up the OPP
posite hillside.
The case was tried before Judge Buck,
now of Spokane, at the county seat of
Murray, and was one of the most ex-
citing mining cases ever tried in the
west. The entire population of the
Occur d'Alenes took sides in the matter.
During the hearing charges of jury

The Best Size of Frames and the Correct
Number to the Hive.

The Best Size of Frames and the Correct
Number to the Hive.
1. Without taking into consideration tho de-
STABILITY of conforming to n standard size,
would an eight frame hive having frames Of
the Langstroth length and l19i inches deep be
better than an ordinary eight frame hivcp 2.
If so, whyf If not, why not? 8. Would it be
better than a ten frame Langstroth hive? 4.
If 80, whyP If not. why notr 8. If there We're
no standard, what would you consider the best
depth for frame OF Langstroth length, and
how many of them should be i'll hive If the
frames are nll in ono storyP
The foregoing was recently answered
as follows in The American Bee Jour-
nal. E. France wrote: Iuse the regular
Langstroth frame, eight in each story,
and three stories high for extracted
honey. The Langstrcth frame is good
enough Why bother or putter with odd
sizes?
Professor A. ]. Cook said: 1. We
wish to work for comb honey, and shall
low hives are best. 2. I prefer the reg
ular eight frame hive 3. doubt if
one uses hanging frame if there is
any better hive than Langstroth eight
frame regular standard size
O. II. Dibbern replied: l. Decidedly
no. 2. For extracted honey there would
be little objection, but for comb honey
the bees have too fur to travel. 8. l
think not. 4. Because Langstroth is
standard. 5. should prefer ten frames
not over seven inches deep
Mrs. Jennie Atchley. Texas, answer
ed: l. Too much comb and weight in a
frame that size for me. do not think
it would be as good. 2. Too deep for
easy manipulation. If l were going to
change the Langstroth frame at all in
depth, would make it shallower rather
than deeper. and 4. No, for reasons
stated above. s. About seven inches
deep, ten frames to hive, and with
my experience T would have hive only
one story for either comb or extracted
honey.
Dadant & Son write: We would use
ten frames, say l2 inches deep and of
Langstroth length. Our reasons are that
the queen always lays eggs in circle,
and she should bo able to lay as large
an amount rs possible without having
to hunt. For this reason shallower
frame is Objectionable. Another point
in favor Of the deeper frame is in tho
need of honey over tho brood nest in
extreme cold weather.. as the bees often
starve when the honey supply fails
above them. A square frame would be
better than any other if it were not that
it leaves too little room above for sur
plus cases, which compels tiering up
too high.

Rules of Rotation.

As laid down by the Florida Times
Union tho best rules are, first, crops
of the same species and oven of the
same natural order should not succeed
each other; second, plants with perpen-
dicular roots should succeed those with
spreading and superficial roots, and vice
versa; third, crops which occupy the
soil for several years. like asparagus,
rhubarb, ETC., should be followed by
those of short duration; fourth, two
crops alike favorable to the growth Of
weeds should not oacupy the soil in snc-
cession; fifth, crops abstracting largely
from the soil tho salphales, phosphates
and nitrogen principles should not fol-
low each other Immediately, but be sue
ceoded by those which draw less from
the soil and moro from the atmosphere
these exhausting crops should follow
aud be followed by those which bear
aud will profit by heavy manuring;
sixth, plants grown for their roots or
bulbs should lot follow those grown
for the same purpose. and still loss
should plants grown for their seeds fol-
low each other directly tn succession.

Nlending Grain Sacks.

Mending the holes in grain sacks is
q task that the farmers wife ,dislikes;
hence tho holes gnawed by mice and
rats arc often stopped with corncob
or the sacks are thrown away. But
here is plan suggested by American
Agriculturist that proves to be what
every farmer needs. The articles needed
for mending grain sacks are an old sack
that may be cnt up for pieces, batter
made of flour and cold water, hot
fatiron and an ironing board to fit in
side the sacks. Place the board in q
sack, with tho hole to be mended on the
upper side. Trim away the ravelod edges
with the shcars or sharp knife. Cut
out patch having at least an inch mar
gin larger than the hole. On this mar
gin apply coat Of the flour paste, place
the patch in position and press it thor.
oughly with the hot flatiron. The bat
ter penetrates both patch and sack
and very firmly unites them. Pieces
of denim, ducking or other stout mate
rial may be used where bagging is not
available. The process is so rapid that
100 sacks may soon be repaired. Car
pets may be neatly mended in the same
manner without removing thom from
the floor.
