ONTARIO COAL FIELDS.
American and Canadian Capitalists
Clash.

Toronto. Ont. Nov. 6.-Four months
ago there was a, discovery of coal in
Algoma, western Ontario. The Lehigh
Valley railroad dispatched experts to
the scene Of the discovery with instruc-
tions to test the coal thoroughly. and if
it was, in their opinion. of the quality
represented to at once buy up the sur
rounding country and secure an option
on the district.
But when the Lehigh Valley people
had made up their minds to buy it they
found Canadian capitalists had got in
before them and had a claim on the
property. The Lehigh Valley combine
has not given up hope Of securing the
coal mines
A proposition is now before the syn
dictate in which the combine offers to
pay more than $1,000, 900 If the present
holders of the options will sell out to
them the whole district which the syn
dictate has now secured The advisa-
bility Of accepting the offer is being
considered. The syndicate would pre-
fer to start a Canadian company with
ST., 600, 900 capital stock.

Mr.. Clifford Halle tells the following
amusing anecdote: sit was at Port
Elizabeth, South Africa, where l was
announced to give concert. The room
in which l sang was situated in part
of the town where the population
seemed to consist mostly of geese,
ducks, pigs and other domestic ami
mails. 1t was hot, and the main en-
trance was kept open to admit the
fresh air. | had run through couple
of items, after which l began to sing
the well-known song: 'Bruder, gehst
du hier voruber?' brother, contest thou
this way0 to the apparent satisfaction
of the audience. The song ends with
the words: 'Bruder, Bruder, sage ia
Brother, brother, do say yes-yah),
when just at that moment one of the
four-footed asses of Port Eliza beth
thrust his head in at the door and bel
lowed out 'Y-ah,' which drowned
all other noises. The audience roared
with laughter. The governors wife
was convulsed; her husband stepped up
to me with tears in his eyes and said:
Dear Halle, if you want to be taken
seriously by our people here in South
Africa, you had better leave-your re-
lations at home. '"-Gartenlaube.

Indigestion is one of the commonest
troubles of fowls and one of the most
easily prevented. Grit takes the place
of teeth with fowls. 1t requires to
be sharp in order to grind up the food
and prepare it for digestion. Yet how
often is the supply deficient? Crushed
oyster shells or sharp gravel should be
accessible to the hens. Acidity of the
stomach is the result of indigestion. 1t
may be corrected by mixing very fine
pulverized charcoal with the food or by
keeping a supply of broken charcoal in
the neighborhood of the fowls. One of
the best methods Of giving it is to char
a couple of corncobs once week in the
oven and then let the fowls have them
to peck at. The feeding of charcoal is
excellent at all stages of the hens exis-
tence, but it is particularly desirable
when the fattening process is going on.

SERVIAN BEE FARMS.
They Are to BE Conducted on Strictly
Scientific Principles.

Scientific Principles.
A new industrial departure of great
interest has been taken in Scrvia, where
has been established, says the ST. Louis
Globe-Democrat. This society seeks to
introduce a system of beekeeping on
scientific principles, and of developing
the industry on profitable basis
throughout that country, where, until
lately, the peasants have been in the
habit of keeping their bees in conical
straw skeps daubed with mud or plas-
ter, and destroying the bees to obtain
the honey. 1t is probable that the So
ciety will provide II = peasants with
cheap straw skeps v eth supers, as well
as bar-framed hive and other desirable
agricultural apr 4ances. The farm of
the society contains about 200 hives,
placed in regular rows over the ground,
six feet six inches from each other,
facing north. These hives are all en-
the bar-frame principle, and of tbs pat
tern generally known as Dzierzon hives,
and they contain about so pounds Of
honey in the comb when full. They
are made of wood, with draw sides, and
cost about 1925 each. The bees appear
to be species of the common bee apis
mellifica), but are rather small in size,
and unusually tractable. The Italian
bee (Apis ligustica) does not succeed
well in Servia, becoming quickly
merged into the Indigenous stock.
The bee farm is provided with two
centrifugal honey-eXtractors of very
simple design, but perfectlypractical.
After extraction, the honey is put into
glass bottles, with neat screw tops, i'm
ported from Austria, containing re-
spectively half pound, one pound and
two pounds. The price Of the honey
is about II cents pound, exclusive of
the bottle, for which an extra charge
is made. The wax is sold to the wax
dealers for making into church can
dies, and realizes about 80 cents a
pound. The Importance of encourage
ing bee culture is evidently fully real
lied by the members of this society and
others interested, and the introduction
of a law is in contemplation obliging
all priests, schoolmasters and certain
others holding employment under the
government to turn their attention to
the keeDiDp of bees

If the effort be not made to clothe
thought in proper language, it will be
at the expense of the former; for words
not only form 1.-The link between the
object and the memory of it," but
thoughts unassociated with words very
soon die away from the memory.
What, then, is the remedy? The cult
walton of deliberation and originality,
and the encouragement of occasional
silence. To do this is sometimes diff
cult, for it implies the mending of
long-existing habits, and in some meas
ure the very loss of individuality; for
many of us are apt to take refuge in
conversation behind phrases and tricks
of speech that have served us well in
the past. Good listening is conducive
to expressive speech, and the words
that are formed from violent impress
sions are not those betokening the ex-
ercise of clear thought.-AllenMc Lane
Hamilton, in Century.

To control swarming, remove one Of
the prime factors. Brood is the only
factor we can remove and not defeat
our object-honey. The removal of
brood, instead of decreasing the honey
yield, rather increases it. We may re-
move the brood by direct confscation,
or we can do it more gradually by the
removal of the queen. The first method
would be better where the flow is very
short and profuse, the second better
where the flows lasts 40 to 60 or more
days. The cause of Swarming is in-
stinct; its control, broodlessness. Other
methods at times seem effective, but the
only method of controlling swimming
that is at all times a success, is brood
lessness.-Southern Cultiyator.

PAY OE OUR TEACHERS.
Cause of the Displacement of Male Teach
ers by Females-UniustD DISCRIMINATION.

Cause of the Displacement of Male Teach
ers by Females-Unjust Discrimination.
Mr.. Hewes has shown that the aver
age salary of the American teacher,
counting 50 weeks to the year, is S56
remain in the ranks and $4.67 for
female teachers. ''As partial index
of the disposition of our population to
our public school system" this is not
reassuring. The highest average sal
airy, according to the report of the
commissioner of education, is 81, 1S1 per
gear in Massachusetts,, and the lowest
S213 per year in North Carolina. 1.-The
average pay of teachers in our public
schools furnishes them with the sum
of SIS week for all their expenses. !"
In 1885 salaries were higher than they
are now, but in 1889 the average sal
aries of American teachers were lower,
SO that, on the whole, we are just now
improving. The sos, 0OO,0 900 spent in
this country for teachers in the public
schools every year must be divided
among $685. 900 teachers-more than
twice as many as in any other country
of the world.
Although these figures take no ac-
count of the fact that many rural
teachers are engaged in other voca-
tions large part of the year, they are
appalling enough. And the reason for
the displacement of male by female
teachers, until in many parts of the
country the former seemed doomed to
extinction, is apparent. At present
the American school system as whole
owes its high quality in no small meas
ure to the noble character, enthusiasm
and devotion of women who make
teaching not only means of liveli-
hood, but in addition thereto mis-
sion service of love for their work and
for children. To increase this love is
to increase the best part of their serv-
ices, and to diminish it is to degrade it
to mere drudgery and routine. AS the
culture of women gradually rises it
becomes more and more evident how
unjust have been the determinations
against them in this field, where their
services are becoming no less valua BILE
than men's.-Dr. G. Stanley Hall, in
Atlantic.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1896-04-16

Many beekeepers must change
their location, go to the flowers, or
change their methods of management.
The Bookkeeping public says at present,
and perhaps always will say, that sugar
honey must not be produced, but there
is no objection to bees living on cent
sugar instead of lucent honey. 1t has
been estimated, and we think fairly,
that a colony of bees consume 60 or 70
pounds of honey during the year. II
good portion of this can be cheap
sugar instead of high-priced honey, it
may make all the difference between a
fair profit and a serious loss. A change
to better location is preferable, if a
change can be made, as there is more
profit in plenty of honey from natural
sources than in exchanging sugar for
honey in poor locaiity.-Southern
CultiVatcr.

6 S, may be of cheap material, as the
slight slant inward will prevent the
water from running in. The floor, for
economy's sake, may be of rails or
poles.
The practice of cutting up and shred
ding the fodder is rapidly gaining
ground. A shed built built on the fore-
going plan would answer admirably
for storing such feed. Stats would have
to be nailed across the lower openings,
of course. The elevator would carry the
cut FODDER in at the door, A. Il is hard
ly necessary to say that when barn
room and protection for stock are to be
taken into account, in addition to econ
omy of handling, it is cheaper to so
construct the building as to give up the
entire floor space to stock, using only
the upper part for feed.-G. w. Waters,
in st. Louis Journal of Agriculture.

DURABLE HAY SHED.
An Investment Which No Progressive NJ
VIII Ever Regret.

An Investment Which No Progressive Man
VIII Ever Regret.
The yearly losses of western farmers
in hay and fodder, through exposure
to the weather, aggregate an enormous
amount. Extensive inquiry convinces
me that nearly OF quite one-fourth OF
the feeding value of all the hay and
fodder cut and put in stacks, ricks and
shocks is thus sacrificed. 1t is nothing
uncommon to see whole meadow OF
little misshapen stacks and ricks sc
damaged and weather-beaten as not to
be worth over half what it would have
been if properly secured in the barn.
and kept in first-class condition.
The best and strongest cheap hay
shed L have seen is that shown in the
accompanying cuts. Figure is an end
view of the framing. Posts A A, OF the
heigh required, say 16 to 20 feet long
are set in the ground to form the franz
ing of the shed, while other similar
posts, e E, are set four feet out from
the former-that is, at the bottom,
though at the top they are brought to-

gether. The inner posts, A A, should
lean outward, so as to make the hori-
zontal width along the dotted line, F,
two feet more than the floor width at
H. The posts A and E are placed di-
rectly opposite each other, and braced
together as indicated at Y. The rafters
may be of the usual structure, which
would require cross ties, or joists, at +;
or else truss frame may be made az
indicated at B B and c. A roof on such

boarded down to within six feet of the
floor. The door, A, may be hinged so
as to swing down, or may be made
double and open into the barn. In
either case the space for admitting
the hay should be at least six feet
square, and, in fact, eight feet is bet
ter. The rail for the hay carrier would
extend out at B, if truss roof is used;
in ordinary roof, the carrier would be
at top of rafters. If long enough posts
"a and Z, Fig. y may not be bad, use
the longest available PKG pieces, and
spike strongly the lower ends to short
posts placed well in the ground.
A drive crosswise through this shed
would be more convenient in many
ways. If the hay is to be baled the
bales could be conveniently stored. II
intending to bale, put the hay into the
shed in sections, ten to twelve feet long,
the entire width of the shed, as it will
be much more convenient chat way for
getting out. Indeed, it will be the bet
ter way even if the hay is to be hauled
out, in which case arrange the floor so
rs to back the wagon under at X, Fig.

feet wide and Is feet high, at cost of
only So to $3.50 for each ton of contents,
and it will last 20 years. The siding,s

NOTES FOR BEEkEEPERS.

Bees, small fruit and poultry make q
good combination.
The queen bee is the only perfectly
developed female in the hive.
The queen lives several years and is
useful as a laying queen for three
years.
A young queen is more liable to pro-
duce working progeny and an old one
drones.
In the spring if frame of dirty comb
IS put in the hive the bees will clean it
up and make it fit for use.
Worker bees are undeveloped female
bees, and are Matched from the same
kind of eggs that the queens are.
A good, strong colony of bees, To-
Gated where there is plenty of honey
producing flowers will, with good man
agement, produce 100 pounds of comb
honey and still allow another strong
colony to be made from it.--St LOuis
