TRACING WITH INK ON LINEN.
Artistic ornamentation for Skilled Weld
ers of the Needle.
EXCHANGE.

Exchange,
There are many women and girls who
are not skilled with the needle, who
could not embroider the dainty devices
so much sought after, but who ardently
admire all of the exquisite flowers, fig
ures and tracery that are so fashionable,
whether on table or house linen. Many
of these women have a little talent for
sketching. Many can draw beautiful
patterns and arrange designs in a man
ner that would be approved as amateurly
artistic, II nothing more. For these a
hint on ink decoration may be interest
ing. 1t is possible to take the best quail
ity Of indelible ink and ornament linen
in very accetable way. The fabric to
be wrought upon should be washed ana
ironed very smoothly, The one OBJ
stacle in the way OF success in this work
is tho possibility that the ink may run.
Whether 1t will or not depends largely
upon its quality. and this one is able to
ascertain only by experiment.

As has often been stated our cattle,
taking the country together, represent
less weight in the spring than they do
at the beginning of winter, and the
cause is found in the fact that they arc
not sufficiently housed. But if the cold
weather has such an effect upon ordi-
nary cattle, what must we expect of the
milch COW that is not well sheltered
during the cold weather? The milk
producing machinery of The cow is very
sensitive. 1t will be permanently
affected even by the cold nights of fall
We say permanently, for when the milk
flow is once decreased by exposure to
cold it can never be restored until the
COW has another calf. See to it that
the stables are fixed for warmth before

The unusually large crop of corn will
nodoubt induce many farmers to make
the kind of haste in harvesting their
corn that in the end means waste. The
cribbing of corn is a more important
matter than many Of us often imagine.
Corn that heats in the crib is sure of
being lost and every bad ear spols its
neighbor, as certainly as does II rotten
apple in Il barrel. The farmer should be
certain that the corn is thoroughly
cured before beginning cribbing. Att
er that push the work as rapidly as
possible. 1t must be husled, cleaned
and thoroughly sheltered from TIL
weather. The leaving of the silk on the
corn is like offering premium to mice
to take up their abode in the crib

"The female punctures the grain
with her snout and inserts an egg, and
from this is hatched larva which de-

dergoes its transformation within the
hull. In wheat, barley and other small
grains single larva iuhabits kernel,
but kernel of maze furnishes food
for several individuals. The chief in

wheat, maze and barley, but it also at
tacks other grains. Unlike the moths
that attack grain, the adult weevils
feed also upon the kernels, gnawing
into them for food and shelter"

FARM AND GARDEN.
The aRANARY WEEvIL.


Best Means of determination Is BisuI-
phide of Carbon.
This is the time of year when the
farmer will begin TO be worried by the
grain-bin beetle. We have heard a
great deal about them in time past, and
have no reason to expect less trouble
in the future. We will describe the IL
lnstration. The size of the insects may
be seen by the little straight line beside
each one, the insect as shown being
magnified. The mature weevil is seen
at figure a. His Latin name is Calan-
dra granaria. The larva, that is, the
form as 1t comes from the egg, is shown
at b. The pupa form is shown at C.
AT Is shown another insect, the name
of which is Calandra oryza. Oryza is
Latin for rice, and this insect is popu-
larly called the rice beetle, because he
was first discovered in this grain.
There is striking similarity between
this one and the one at a, but the reader
will notice that the thorax is lon
gitudinally punctured.

NOTES FOR BEEKEEPERS.

Allow no stock of any kind to run II
the apiary during the winter.
Windbreaks around the beehives dur
ing the winter are very beneficial.
The cheapest and best way of protect
ing bees in winter is by using chat
hives.
DO not allow hives of bees to stand
on high benches; set them down close
the ground.
If the bees need feeding there is moth
ing better than to put frame of sealed
honey in their hives.
Do not feed bees at night. 1t throws
them off their guard, interferes with
their regular routine of work and is
generally detrimental
If the weather is too cold for the bees
t. come out, and they must be fed, feed
i'll the hives and try to keep all covered
up as warm as possible.
TO prevent robbing close the entrance
so as 10 give passage for only single
bee at time. This is effective if the
bees will defend themselves.
Many beekeepers may profit in les
sons of neatness and cleanliness from
the bee, especially in marketing the
products of the bees labor. Care in
placing products upon the market in q
neat, clearly shape insures better
prices.
TO make the most out of keeping bees
there must be the best bees, the best
hives and all modern appliances a mar
must also have liking for the business
If he is not willing 10 spend the time
on the bees that they require for theil
proper management, he had better lei
them alone.-St. Louis Republic.

been satisfactory. In some counties of
