Feeding Bees for Profit.

Many beekeepers must change
their location, go to the flowers, or
change their methods of management.
The beekeeping 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 n colony Of bees consume GO or 20
pounds of honey during the year. If
a good portion of this can be cheap
sugar instead of high-priced honey, it
may make all the difference between a
fair profit and serious loss. A change
to better location is preferable, il 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 locality.-Southern

TWO TEMPTING RECEIPTS.
A CORRECTION of Figs and Celebrated
Rule for Making Chocolate.

n u
Rule for Making Chocolate.
Take dry figs. The choicest thin
skinned ones are not necessary for this
purpose. Wash and cut them care
fully to be sure no imperfections are
left. Pour boiling water on them
and let them simmer until the skins
are quitet tender. Then remove the figs
and add sugar sufficiently tom make rich
strip of the water in which they were
boiled, and lemon or grape juice TO
give color and acidity. Pour this on
the figs and set them away to cool.
When William NJ. Evarts occupied a
seat in the United States senate and n
fine house, with his family, in Wash
ington, the chocolate at their afternoon
receptions became famous. The re-
ceipt for it was as follows: One quart
milk, one cake chocolate, essence of
vanilla. Crate the chocolate very fine,
mix with teaspoonful of hot water
and rub smooth. Allow the milk to
come to a boil. put in the chocolate and
boil about five minutes, or until of de-
sired thickness. After removing it
lroH tne Hlc se"soh WIN .he esseheo
of vanilla according to taste. Boil in
a farina kettle. The chocolate should
then be poured into dainty cups while
still in the kitchen and served quickly
steaming hot.
Fill the cups two-thirds full with the
delicious brown mixture and add thick,
beaten cream. This addition consti-
tutes the making of the famous Vienna
chocolate introduced at the centennial.
If only one square of chocolate is re-
quired, draw n line across the two
squares at the end dividing them in
half With sharp knife shave off
the chocolate until you come to the
line, which saves waste OF time and
material.-Chicago News.

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
society for bee and fruit culture"
has been established, says the st. Louis
Globe-Democrat. This society seeks to
introduce a system of Bookkeeping on
scientific principles, and OF developing
the industry on a profitable basis
throughout that country, where, until
lately, the peasants have been in the
habit of keeping their bees in conical
straw sleeps daubed with mud or plas-
ter, and destroying the bees to obtain
the honey. 1t is probable that the So
ciety will provide the peasants with
cheap straw skeps with supers, as well
as bar-framcd hives and other desirable
agricultural appliances. The farm of
the society contains about zoo hives,
placed in regular rows over the ground,
six feet six inches from each other,
facing north. These hives arc all on
the bar-frame principle, and of the pat
tern generally known as Dzierzon hives,
and they contain about 80 pounds of
honey in the comb when full. They
are made of wood, with draw sides, and
cost about $2.25 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-
spectiyely half pound, one pound and
two pounds. The price Of the honey
10 about II cents a 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 30 cents n
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 law is in contemplation obliging
all priests, schoolmasters and certain
Others holding employment under the
government to turn their attention to
the keeping of bees.

Indigestion In Poultry.

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 supply of broken charcoal in
the neighborhood of the fowls. One of
the best methods of giving it is to char
n couple OF corncobs once a 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.

How She Spelled 1t.

Every one knows how to spell hard
water" with three letters, but prob
ably some readers would be puzzled to
spell yesterday" with six. A Gin
cinnati girl could tell them how, ac-
cording to the Enquirer. She does
not go to school, but is taught by her
mother at home. The other night her
father was hearing her spell. One
word after another was successfully
disposed of, and then he said: Nov,
Annie, am going to give you hard
one. If you spell it correctly I'll bring
you some candy. How do you spell
yesterday" 1t was n hard one. An
ME thought of the candy, and just then
her eye caught the calendar hanging
against the wall. Then she answered,
with smile of triumph: Fri, yes
ter, day, day, yesterday."-Atlanta

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 confiscation,
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; it's control, broodlessness. Other
methods at times seem effective, but the
only method of controlling swimming

An Investment which No Progressive Man
VIII Ever Regret.
The yearly losses of western farmers
IN hay and fodder, through exposure
10 the weather, aggregate an enormous
amount. Extensive inquiry convinces
me that nearly or 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 a whole meadow of
little misshapen stacks and ricks SO
damaged and weather-beaten as not to
be worth over half what it would have
been il properly secured in the barn,
and kept in first-class condition.

France has every now and then a
revival of royalism and Imperialism
She has it with about the regularity
that measles and whooping cough oc
cur among children. She has mild
one in progress now. A few years
ago such a revival was regarded as
dangerous; but the Boulanger episode
put an end to all apprehensions on
this score. That showed the weak
ness of the politicians who managed
these affairs. A few years ago there
was a claimant to the throne, man
of ability and force; but the present
claimant, the Duke of Orleans, has
nothing to recommend him. His time
has mainly been spent in riotous liv-
ing; and he is deservedly a target of
ugly scandals. France is not looking
to him for king.

THE CZAR'S CORONATION.

In the American mind, which has
oeen taught to associate Russia with
despotism, assassination, intrigue and
the horrors of Siberia, there is a dis
position to regard as hollow mock
cry the grand festival now in pro-
gres at Moscow in connection with
the coronation of the Gear. 1t is un-
likely that the average American cit
izen attributes much sincerity to the
jubilant celebrations, with all their
elaborate magnifcence and external
manifestations of rejoicing.
AS matter of fact, there is great
deal of sincerity to the affair. Con-
trary to the general opinion, there is
a much closer bond of sympathy be-
tween the Czar and the moujik than
between the rulers and people of sew
eral other nations credited with freer
institutions than Russia. The course
of Russia today, the cause of vast
deal of her backwardness, is the mob
ility, the estate between the Gar and
the masses, by which most Of the tyr
amy is exerted. Many thoughtful
students of the subject have ventur-
ed the opinion that Russia will not
step to the front rank of enl1ghten-
ment and civilization until the Gear
takes the people into his confidence,
and in alliance with them overthrows
the power Of the mobiles, who are the
thorn in the side of liberty and the
obstacle to progress.
The vast force of police and soldiery
in attendance at the Moscow fetes are
there, not to suppress a popular up
rising, which is impossible, but to
guard against the possible acts Of in
dividuals, whose numbers are inap-
preciable in the vast total population
of the empire which, as whole, ven
crates the Czar.-TraUeler,
Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1896-05-25

The aspect OF Moscow in its festive
attire for the coronation ceremonies
recalls the famous saying of Napole-
on that in fifty years all Europe would
be either republican Or Cossack. It is
nearly ninety years since the proph
ecy was uttered, and Europe is nei-
ther republican nor Cossack, nor is
there any Indication that it ever will
be. Russia ceased to be Cossack VIII en-
the serfs were freed, and though the
Government is despotic the Russian
mind has absorbed a great deal of the
growth in liberalism of the nineteenth
century. This fate Of Napoleon's pre-
diction should be warning against
the dangerous temptation to indulge
in predictions at too long range
