chronic diarrhoea. Since then l have
used a great amount of medicine, but
when found any that would give me re-

their services to their country, contracted
this dreadful disease as did, from eating

Gomez must be n curious kind of n
fellow. Every day some Spanish gen
eral defeats and dsperses his army with
generally the loss of one or two Spanish
soldiers killed or missing and pursues
his routed columns until they dissolve
into nothingncss, but the wonderful part
of the story is when the Spanish army
wakes up the next morning by some
strange "hocus pocus" Tthcy find Gomez
and his army camped on the veritabe

so far the day before. These snide sto-

CLASSIFYING HONEY.
Care ShOuld ESO Taken Co Keep Each VSA

Care ShOald DO Taken 60 Keep Zach VS~
PlOty Separate
Better results in every way can be Sc
cured If care is taken to keep each
variety of honey separate as 1t 10 made
through the season.
This Is readily accomplished with ex-
tracted honey, and, to certain extent,
with comb honey. Generally, the flrst
surplus honey obtained iS from fruit
blossoms. While, usually, fruit bloom
does not afford much surplus, occar
Slonally 1t does, and sometimes quite
quantity Is collected. After this 1t Is
often possible to secure considerable
surplus from the different bTiar bios
SONS, and this 10 nearly always Of a
finer quality than apple and peach bios
SONS that follow. The next surplus Of
any quantity Is white wood, or poplar
blossom. This, among beekeepers, Is
considered the second best flow OBJ
tanned through the season, and this,
although not 80 clear and beautiful, is
very popular In the market, being ale
most as much in demand as clover
honey. White clover furnishes the
heaviest flow and ia considered the
best honey that Is collected. 1t is GER
tainly the finest looking. Following
clover comes bass, or linn wood. Gem
orally the flow from bass wood Is much
heavier and Is only second to clover In
quality. Sumach, which follows, gives
o beautiful golden-colored honey, but

One advantage with it is that it rarely
fails to give at least a fair crop.
Either when extracted or sold in the
comb care should be taken not to allow
It to remain In the hives for any COM
siderable time after 1t is sealed over,
as there is always the risk of its being
soiled, at least in color, If allowed TO
remain in the hive. Like nearly all
other products, its appearance is always
an important factor in selling to the
best advantage. This is another good
reason for keeping each class separate

A Device ThAe Saved Many Crops In Gh0
state OF Minnesota.
We told our readers last fall about
the serious outbreak Of grasshoppers In
Minnesota, and the efforts made 10 de-
BtrOy them. Among other devices em-
plOyed was the hOpper-dozier, picture
of which Ia shown. A bulletin of the
Minnesota Experiment station gives
the following account Of the making of
hopper-dozier:
A sheet of ordinary sheet-irOn, such
as is used for making stovepipes, was
turned up IA inch around the edges,
and riveted at the corners. This made a
shallow pan about feet long, Q feet
broad and ~ inch deep. To the bottom
of this were riveted the six small strips
which could be fastened to the three
runners on which the pan rested. To
the rear side Of the pan was screwed
a light, wooden frame, as long as the
pan and III foot high. Over this frame

~Se44A8@Na
n piece Of canvas was stretched. This
frame served the important Office of
throwing back all those grasshoppers
that otherwise would jump clean over
the pan and throw them into theoi
The runners on which the pan stood
were usually made Of saplings or small
pieces OF board having an upward curve
in front to prevent them from catching
in the ground. The front ends Of the
runners were all fastened by screws to
a cross-piece, which was, in turn, drawn
by two ropes, one at each end. These
ropes were Joined In front and fastened
to q single-tree. Sometimes two hop
peT-dozierS were fastened to long pole
by means Of short ropes; this was very
easily drawn by one horse. Just in
front Of the pam was fastened O. piece Of
rope which swept the ground O few
inches In advance, and served to stir up
the hoppers and make them jump into
the pans. In the pan was laid piece Of
cloth which was first saturated with
water. About q pint of kerosene was
then thrown in and the upright sheet
or sail Of canvas mOistened with oil.
The machine was then drawn over the
pasture, or wherever the hoppers were
thickest. In o short time It was usually
seen to be partially filed with dead and
dying insects.
The Slightest touch Of kerosene,
either from the pan or from the canvas
Sheet means death to the hopper, for
the oil spreads over its body In tho
same way that single drop will spread
over large surface Of water. It seems
to produce paralysis, which is Arst
shown by the stiffening Of the legs. A
very large proportion Of the hoppers
that came in contact with the oil in
the pan. Immediately jumped out again,
but they invariably died in the course
Of n few seconds or minutes.
Hundreds of these machines were
made and drawn over the meadows and
pastures, with the result that millions
Of the choppers" were killed, and this
work, added to the fact that the season
was unfavorable to the insects, saved
many crops. Last year we had several
requests from readers in the eastern
states as to how these "hopper-doziers"
are made, and so we print this informa.

RIFLE PRACTICE.
Company |. Of HouIton Presented
With Badges and Decorations.
Large and Interesting Meeting With Peril.
nent Addresses on Military Matters.

Colonel e. c. Harrington, inspector gen
eral of ride practice, presented, Tuesday
evening the badges and other decorations
won by Company l. of Houlton, in rifle
practice the past season
The presentation was made at the
armory of the company and witnessed by
large number OF the prominent citizens,
including quite a number of ladies The
men were called by classes, the roll show
ing that every officer and member had
qualified rs narksmen, there being one
distinguished narksman, 10 sharpshooters,
? first q second, and 2 third class marks
men.
Colonel Farringtons remarks were
timely and well received. He dwelt partic
ularly upon the need of encouragement
and aid on the part of the citizens In
towns where companies are located re-
ferrcd to the expense that companies were
put to, to maintain creditable organiza-
ton, and urged the citizens TO "lend IA
hand to this company.
To the question why the state did not
furnish more aid, he said that the COM
mander-in chief and efficient adjutant
general were doing all that possibly could
be done; that the most rigid economy had
to be practiccd in order to do what was be-
ing done. 1t is not the policy of the pre-
sent administration to leave legacy Of
debt to the people by over expended appro-
priations.
Hon. L!ewellyn Powers was present
and followed with expressions of com
mendation for the degree of proficiency
attained, which had been secured by such
hard and untiring work. He urged the
citizens of Houlton to take deeper in
terest in their future welfare. Mr. Powers
has often assured the company that he was
ready ut any time to aid them financially,
and after the meeting told them to call
around any time and he would put 500 in
their treasury.
The expressions Of approval during his
remarks showed plainly that he has a
warm place in the hearts of the company
and the citizens of his town.
The company is contemplating building
an armory in the early future
