BEE-HIvEs FOR FARMERS.

Most farmers would have better sue
cess with bees if they used only the
old straw or box hives. Bookkeeping
with the moyableframe hives is an
art which few care to learn; the straw
hive Is simple tool which any one
can use. Before the bee. moth became
prevalent, nearly every farmer kept
bees in this simple way. The intro
duction of the Italian bee has done
away with this trouble. With the
old-fashioned hives, women and chill
dren can do most of the work, and
Bookkeeping, like poultry-raising, can
be their special province aud profit.
ASIDE from learning to hive new
swarms, little knowledge is needed. -

ESSENTIALS IN srRAwnERRv crow,xe.

ESSENTIALS IN STRAWBERRY GROWING.
Professor Lozenberrv recently cave
the following summary OF essential
points 10 be kept in mind:
The most profitable varieties for The
commercial growers are those not
easily influenced by differences OF soil
and climate. Those which succeed
well on wide areas are usually better
than those which have mere local repu-
tation.
l. Ilstillate varieties. when properly
iertillzed, are more productive than
the sorts with perfect flowers.
2. The value of variety for ferkiIiz-
ing plstillate flowers does not depend
20 much upon the amount as upon the
potency OF pollen.
8. The flowers Of pistiilate varieties
are less liable to be injured by frosts
than the flowers of perfect varieties.
i. Varieties that are neither verv
carly nor very late in point OF ma.
turlty are the most productive and
nave the longest fruiting season.
.. AS rule, varieties that have the
most vigorous and healthy foliage are
nv H-OSV productive, WnllC tnOSC with
a weaker growth of foliage and greater
susceptibility to leaf blight are usually
Enproiiic.
q. Winter protection may be dis.
Eensed with uCon well. trimmed sandy
soils, but appears to be a necessity
upon heavier ones.
Z. The leaf blight may be checked
by using the Bordeaux mixtures, be-
ginning Just as soon as leaves appear,
and continuing the application every
few weeks throughout the season.

To rip up a garment properly there
should be no pulling, tearing or drag

end OF the thread and pull it out the
stitches should be cut with a sharp
knife. Very few persons can rip n
garment with scissors without doing il
great harm indeed, many find it i'm.
possible to cut stitches with anything
without making holes that render tho
goods absolutely worthless for tee one
who originally wore ii. When it Is
doue the edges are so ragged that a
much smaller pattern must be used. In
preparing goods for the dyer, or to be
made over, every stitch should be
taken out. 1t seems scarcely necessary
to say that facings, braid ond hooks
aud eyes must be removed, bus this is
imperative, in view of the condition in
which garments come to the dress
maker and the dyer. Many dresses,
