"HOG AND HAMONY."
Talk That Applies Equally Well to Cow

Talk That Applies Equally Well to Cows
Your last issue contained several
echoes from the great Waco Swine
Breeders meeting. Uncle Snort and
others cause us all to wish that we had
been present to hear and take part in
the hog and harmony" talk, of which
every breeder in the state should feel
proud If we do not all attend the
next meeting, you may rest assured
that it is because we cant keep our
pigs out of the orchard" or because of
some other pressing business.
Meetings, such as that at Waco, are
sure to result in harmony among the
breeders and much good to the state at
large. An honest pull together" by
the members of any influential interest
will result in much good to the indi-
vidual and to the community. And
now that the hog men have agreed to
work tremendously, let the ''cow
men," the dairymen of the state, say
that they will tremendously furnish
waste milk to every hog in the state,
and lend golden color TO the states
production of animal fat.
With pull together the Jersey
and Holstein breeders can rid our
state of the nasty oleomargarine with
which we are now flooded. liarmo-
NOUS action at this time will give a
good state dairymen's association,
able to cope successfully with "hog
butter" authorities when our next leg
islature meets. Tine extensive sale of
this stuff in Texas and other southern
states is a reproach to our intelligence
and thrift At respectable hotel in
one of the largest cities of the state |
could get nothing to eat for butter but
oleo, nothing to drink for milk but
Illinois condensed milk. And yet this
state is the stoclsman's paradise.
Our states dairy interest can not pros
per under existing abuses. Many men
are no doubt making money in the
dairy business-I know of such-but
our general interests as breeders and
milk producers are not thriving as
they should. So long as the unfavor-
able legislation in the north and west
forces the producers of ''oleo' to ship
south-we may expect more and more
of this 10 and l2-ccnt butter 81 to glut
our markets. Legislation in Texas, UNI
favorable to this sham, will run it out
of the state, and double and treble our
home demand for butter. Every pound
of bogus butter consumed kills the de-
mand for two pounds of the genuine
article that would otherwise be eaten.
Under our present constitution, laws
can be so framed as to practically cX-
clude oleomargarine by forcing all OF
the stuff to bear its own proper name
Recent decisions in the higher courts
are favorable TO the enforcement of
exclusion laws. What Is the will of
Texas dairymen? Let them speak out
through the state press. II. Connell,

People who have little or no expe-

In China an army recruit must be
able to jump across ditch six feet wide
or he is not eligible Tor enlistment.
The French and Spanish bourbons
were ill endowed with large, thick
hoseb, Most Of them, in addition, had
weak thins.
The Roman nose was so called from
the fact that it first came into prom
inence as a characteristic of the con-
querors of the world.
Empress Eugene has presented to
the Paris museum of decorative arts
III the plans and drawings prepared
FOR the orhamehtatiun OF her private
apartments in the Thileries.
Cutting off the nose rs n punish.
ment for crimes or ass a. mutilatioh for
revenge, was practiced from the most
ancient times until the last century.
In England, almost to the beginning Of
the 18th century, it was legal punish
ment.
In some districts OF India large
tanks are constructed by banking UP

sometimes miles in length, and from
them during the dry season the water
can be easily conveyed so as to overflow

II open, as the case may be, so that Won
can best get at their combs. Now take
an empty hive or box and set it where
the old hive was standing, for the.feld
bees to cluster In, atd to rush the bees
In that you brush from the combs as
you remove them from the old hive
Now proceed to remove the combs and
brood as rapidly MS possible from the
old hive, taking them out In as large
pieces as convenient, being careful not
to mutilate brood any more than you
can help, Don't drip and daub the honey
about any more than you can help, as
1t would, be most sure to cause robbing
later, After you have all brood and
honey taken from the old hive, and
bees brushed into the empty hive or
box fixed on the old stand for them,
take all the old pieces Of the old hive
clear out of the yard, as the bees seem
TO wont.to cluster on any part Of the
old hive that they can find, rather than
go to an empty box Or hive. Take all
the combs and brood to some warm
room and fittheG snugly in the frames,
keeping the brood In as compact form
as possible, as some of 1t will get
chilled, otherwise. II you do a neat
job of 1t, it will need little or no
fastening in the frames. but to make
sure, it is d good idea to tack thin
strips Of wood on either sde
of the frames after you get the
combs in them. After few days
You can remove them, and the bees
will have them fastened to the frames
After You have all the combs fastened
in the frames fill up the rest of the
frames with comb foundation, If You
Should not have comb enough to fill all
the frames (Which is not likely you will
have). Now hang all the frames in the
hive, putting them with the most brood
in them in the center, and set the hive
where you wish II to stand, and hive
the bees on the transferred combs as
you would any natural swarm, and
your work is done. OF course there
are other ways that transferring can
be done, but I think this one best for
the beginner. forgot to say in its
proper place that would leave out as
much of the drone comb ms ! would in

A FRIEND TO WOMEN.
Gen spinner Who First Employed Women
---.- Clerks In the Treasury.

Clerks In the Treasury.
II any man deserves the gratitude of
the new woman, it is the man 10
whom the sex Is indebted for one of the
greatest advantages which women en-
joy at the present day-that of hold
ing Office under Uncle Sam. When the
first woman was put in the office OF
the treasurer of the United States
there were only 20 clerks to do all the
work, and n batch Of seven women was
appointed. Nov there are 6,o00 women
nt work for the government and the
number is yearly increasing.
In 1862 all the available men were
needed in the volunteer army. This
was the reason for the appointment of
the women in the various departments
at Washington. The then United
States treasurer, Gen. Francis L. Spin.
ner, one day went into the room where
men were engaged in cutting the
"greenbackS, which first made their
appearance under the financial policy
of Chase. Huge shears were used and
the labor. when was simply the clip
ping of the payer, was such that Gen.
Spinner remarked that there was nu
reason why some women should not
be employed 10 assist in u work that
was daily increasing in size. .
Gen. Spinner died about five years
ago. In 1891 mass meeting was
called, and what is now known as the
Gen. Spinner Memorial association
was organized. lis object was to erect
some suitable monument to the man
who had done so much for the women,
and the women in the government EN-
ploy are expected to show their graft
tude by contributing to the work.
The statue has been modelled and
cast and is now in the Washington
studio of the sculptor, Mr.. Elliott, the
creator of the statue TO Gen. Hancock
which is to be erected in the fall. The
figure is of bronze and represents tho
general in simple but dignitied atti-
tude, with large cloal; thrown around
his ample shoulders.
The statue and pedestal will cost
about $1,000. An effort has been made
to secure "A site in front of the treasury
building, on the north side, and bill
granting permission passed the senate
but was pigeon-holed in the house.

! think ii best for any one just start

Of the same size. And let me caution
you just here about having two sizes

We will now proceed to transfer your

climate earlier than the lst of March;
perhaps the 18th Of March would be
better in most seasons. And whatever
you do, don't attempt to transfer your
bees when they are not busy at work
in the fields, for if you do you will be
sure to have trouble with robber bees,
and perhaps lose your colony of bees
besides. Now, wewill suppose yo.i have
everything ready to do the work. Have
an empty hive or box to brush the

their old hive. Go to the hive you wish
To transfer, give the bees good emok-

pound heavily on it with your fist or n
