Mr.. George A. Whitson, Rush
vile, ILL.,, writes: II wish to start
small greenhouse if it will pay.
have had no experience and would
like to get some information from
you. I am a practical mechanic
and can build the house. Would
like to build and heat as cheap as
possible. Is hot water heat the
best? What flowers give the quick
est returns? And what roses are
the best for profits? Our town has
about $500 population and there
are no greenhouses here. All flow
ers of any consequence have to be
shipped from other towns"
G. w. Multeford, in the st. Louis
Republic, says: eve cannot say
whether it will pay. Flowers at
this date are offered (and very
properly, also, as we see it) at we'd
dings, at birthday parties, at social
gatherings and at funerals. In all
mundane environments and achiev-
ments there must be beginning.
This scribe has no personal ex-
perience except such as come from
observation and the teachings Of
practical men, and should be re-
ceived as such. AS to the heating
process, hot water is best. The
floors of the greenhouse should be
of Stats of any convenient width,
but II inches or more thick. Being
damp, if not wet, they rot out soon.
Most beginners make the ceiling too
low to economic heat; yourself
must be the judge of this.
Roses, carnations, geraniums in
variety, ferns, viOlets and in season
chrysanthemums are most profit
able. You will need smilax, lilacs
and other white flowers. A little
experience, if not too costly, will
help you much. Raise plants in
small pots to be sold as plants for
setting out in Spring. You will
find sale for hyacinths, snowdrops,
tulips when in bloom. Belgian and
Holland bulbs are best, and can be
obtained from wholesale and retail
seed stores and every extensive for
list in ST. Louis. For a starter"
such collection would do, as there
is plenty of chance to make ad-
ditions. Cut flowers for special oc-
casions can also be had from florists
and be received in good shape"

American Horses I'm EnglanA i.

During the last year no less than
10000 American horses have been
sold in London alone. A large
number are used for the omnibnses
and street cars. The cabmaster and
smaller dealer profess not to touch
them, the former believing, and
possibly rightly, that the majority
of foreign horses are somewhat soft,
while, as a rule, he declares that at
his price he can get plenty of we'll
bred English horses, and that they
do bis work very well. The fact is,
however, that there are almost as
many American horses drawing
cabs as American subjects riding in
them. After American and Cana
dian horses have changed hands
under the hammer they are resold
without anything being said about
their nationality. They get into
the country and add to the difficult
ties and perplexities of the breeder.

LhC&3 WM 9gWCAs
Lousiness is largely the result Of
stinting the feed and Of neglect to
groom properly. Stock kept in a
thrifty, growing condition are rare
4 ~, if ever, infested by these pests
unless they come in contact with
animals that are infested. But one
lousy animal running with other
stock will soon communicate the
lice to all. When the insects once
get start they multiply so rapidly
that in a short time the animal is
fairly alive with them and is kept
in perfect torment. 1t is next to
impossible to get lousy animal
into thrifty condition until the
lice are gotten rid of.
Stock that have to lie out, exposed
to cold and storms and are ill-fed
are almost certain to become infest-
ed; this is so much the case that it
seems that poor condition breeds
lice.
AS with all other ills to which
stock is liable, prevention is nuch
better than cure. Feeding we'll, CIV
ing clean, comfortable quarters with
proper grooming, so as to keep the
skin clean, will keep lice from get
ting a start.
One of the best, if not the best
remedies is slaves acre seeds, thor
oughly bruised, and vinegar. This
lotion will not only kill the lice, but
destroy the nests as well. The
staves-acre seeds bruised and made
into an ointment with lard is also
good remedy. 1t viii be good
plan to repeat the application in
ten days or two weeks, especially if
the animals are badly affected.
In mild cases common tobacco
stepped in water and sponged over
the skin will rid the animal of lice.
Still another remedy is to take one
ounce of tobacco, two ounces of
finely ground white hellebore, with
about two pints and half of
vinegar; boil all well together,
strain and then sponge the animal
with it.
Feeding sulphur is also good
aid in Kidding animals of lice. The
objection to it is that if while it is
in the system the animal should
get wet considerable injury may re-
suit.
The quarters should also be thor
oughly cleansed up and white-wash-
ed. 1t will help if carbolic acid is
added to the white-wash. Generally
it will pay to repeat the white-wash
in week or ten days.
When stock have been allowed
to run together, if a portion Of them
show that they are infested with
these pests it is best to treat all OF
| them.

Cost OF Milk Production.

Prof Wing, of Cornell, in his
summary, closing bulletin No. So,
on "Cost of Milk Production" says:
Our record of this herd for the
year seems to warrant the following
conclusions:
1. With a fairly good herd, care
fully fed and kept, milk can be
produced for IS cents per hundred
weight, and fat for Is cents per
pound for the cost Of food con-
sumed.
2. That individuals of the same
breed vary more widely in milk
and butter production than do
breeds themselves.
3. The larger animals consumed
less pounds of dry matter per thous-
and pounds live weight per day
than did the smaller animals.

against robbers.
When moving bees be sure that
they are fastened in the hive tight.
On no account during the Winter
lift out the combs, chilling the brood.
While bees may be bought almost
any time, early in the Spring is the
best time.
During the Winter is good time
to make up the seasons supply of
hives, frames, etc.
1t is not cold weathSr that kills
the bees. So long as they are kept
dry cold does not hurt them.
The honeycomb presents the
greatest possible strength and space
with the least possible material.
Fruit growing and bee keeping
are combined to good advantage.
In fact, every fruit grower should
keep bees.
When bees starve the queen is
the last one to succumb. They will
give up their last drop to save the
mother bee.
Better keep bees in box hives than
not to keep them at all They fer
tilize the blooms and help many
crops in this way.
When drones are driven from the
hive it shows that food is getting
scarce, and the luxury of support
ing them cannot be afforded.
Black bees have many good traits.
They build up strong in the Spring
and cannot be excelled in the pro-
duction of white comb honey.
No person who is not careful and
painstaking will ever succeed with
bees. Bookkeeping enhances the
faithful performances of many de-
tails.
The hive that is set fat will build
its combs crosswise of the hive,
while that rightly inclined will
build its combs straight on the
frames.
1t is well to remember that bee
cannot climb glass, tin or earthen-
ware, but it can climb wood, so that
wood vessels should be used in feed
ing them.
Hives should stand level one way,
and be higher at the back than in
the front, making it easier for the
bees to drag out any substance from
the hives.
1t is essential that the hives
should stand firm so that they will
not shake with every wind, causing
the bees to fear that the combs will
break loose.
When all the frames in a hive
are filled with foundation of worker
size, the cells will all be of worker
size. If the bees can find small
space they will put in drone cells,
1t is a mistake to allow colony
of bees to become overstocked with
drones. When bees are allowed to
build their own comb they are al
most certain to get in this condition.
To feed the bees place strip over
the clusters or sugar. If the weather
is cold place oilcloth over the clus-
ter, in which are a few small holes
around which the feed is placed.
The bees will soon find it and carry
it down.

sense From Colorado.

Is Colorado Springs prosperous?
1t is the most prosperous city in
the state and has been for more than
three years.
What made it prosperous:
Two things mainly: The climate
and Cripple Creek gold.
How was the Cripple Creek gold got
out?
Partly by using the returns from
the first production to develop the
mines from which the gold came, but
mainly by money borrowed from the
''money sharks and tools of Wall
street.
Who pays the wages to the miners
in the Cripple Creek district?
The idle holders of idle capital =
Who is putting up the fine reduction
works at Colorado City:
Grasping capitalists.
How would the election of Bryan
and a Populist state administration
benefit Cripple Creek?
BY partially depopulatingthe camp.
by stopping all investments by greedy
monopolists. by cutting in two the
purchasing power of the wages made
by the miners and by encouraging
free riots.
Do prospectors and holders of prop
erty at Cripple Creek desire outside
help in developing their property:
They always seem glad to get ii.
Can they get it now:
Not much.
Why not:
Because capitalists are holding
their money in fear that the standard
of value may be changed, and that
they MAJ get back only part of their
honey if they invest it.
Will the election of Bryan let this
money loose for investment:
No.
Will the election of Mckinley let
this money loose for investment:
Yes.
How do you know?
Ask any banker in town.
Have the city banks money in their
vaults now?
Yes: more than ever before.
Will they lend it?
No: not without extraordinary Sc
curity.
Will they lend it on ordinary Sc
curity if Mckinley is elected:
They say so.
Why don't the Populists compel
them by law to lend to everyone that
asketh:
Simply because they haven't thought
of it yet.-Colorado Springs Gazette.

CAMDEN, May 9, 1S96--Judge Garrison
this morning called the Grand Jury be-
fore him and called their attention to ire
gularities in the office of the City Treas
urer of Camden, and gave practically in
structions to find an Indictment against
Frank F. Michellen for embezzlement
and malfeasance in office, provided the
facts alleged by the experts who have
been Investigating the city's. affairs are
substantiated by the proof to be presented
by the State. He said this report would
show that the Treasurer had received
$500, 600 and had omitted all reference to
it on the cash book and there was no rec
crd of its expenditure; that he had paid
out 100000 on city orders not signed by
the proper officials; that he had paid out
$4,000 without any orders; had allowed
notes to lay in bank as long as ten years
drawing interest, while the city had mon
ey on deposit to take them up; and, for
from two to five years, had failed to have
any settlement made with the banks with
whom the city keeps its accounts He
also instructed them to inquire into the
work of the Comptroller, and practically
instructed the jury to indict such Comp
trollers as terms were covered by the
Treasurers alleged irregularities The
statute only permits them to go back five
years, hence Frederick A. Rex, also

ASPHALT COMPANIES AT WAR

Lawyer Leon Albeit made an application to
Justice Lippincott today for a writ of GER
tiorari to remove to the Supreme Court for re-
view the contract awarded by the Heboken
Common Council to Henry & McGivney to
pave Garden street with aphalt
The application was made in the name of
John Sheehy, but the actual prosecutor is
understood to be the Trinidad Asphalt Company
That company bid for the contract, but its
figures were $4,000 higher than Henry & Nc
Givney's. Mr.. Albeit alleged that the sue
cessful bidders had not complied with the
terms of the specifications and that they
merely desire to make an experiment at the
expense of Hoboken. They have no plant;
they propose to bring their asphalt from
Mexico instead of from Trinidad and the
asphalt they propose to use has been tried in
Chicago and found to be a failure.
Lawyer Charles L. Corbn opposed the ap-
plication. He said it was made in the in
terest of competing bidder whose bid was
$4,000 higher than Henry & McGivney's The
material his clients proposed to use was as
good If not better than the Trinidad Com
pany asphalt His clients have complied with
all the terms of the specifications and are
prepared to carry out the contract to the let
ter. The plaintiff in this case is represented
as taxpayer, but it is not shown what
property he owns how much taxes he pays
He might only pay a poll tax. Mr.. Corbin
submitted voluminous affidayts Justice Lip
pincott took the papers and reserved decision.
