ANTI-SLAvERY MEDALS.


In this and the next campaign anti
slavery sentiments begin to appear on the
medals. The Liberty party had named
James g. Birney for President in 1910
and inE1S44, and while his features do
not adorn the medals of his party, they
give an excellent idea of the bitterness
of the abolition sentiment of that early
day. T he reliefs. showing the chained
female slave crying out" Am / not
woman and sister," are classic in
their workmanship.
The men who worshiped the Sage Of
Ashland had plenty of occasion 10 honor
their hero in the campaign of 1914. In
fact, there were PROBABLY more Clay
medals struck off than in any of tie pre-
vious campaigns. For the first time in
the campaign history Of America. silver
medals made their appearance, and
were bought up eagerly by Clny's
friends. Clay's face was splendid in pro-
file, and ntbe designers of that day gave
to the country series of classic efforts.
Many of the medals might do for this
campaign, for they bear under the profile
Of Clay the words: "The champion of
Protective Tariff" Others contain the
sentiments: Protection to the working
classes" Protection to American In
dustry," A Halo Shines as Bright as

HARD ON THE PURSE.

Trimmings for Gowns Nowadays Cost .
Pretty Penny.
One can hardly tell from the looks Of
trimming, these days, how much it is
going to cost, but in nine cases out Of
ten it is safe to guess that if it is at
tractive it is expensive. In many cases
the trimming costs more than a whole
dress ought to. Feather trimming,
combined with fur and jet, comes as
high as eight dollars yard, and sells,
too, yet we are told that such trimming
is made of the odds and ends of a tao
tory, swept up by the thrifty makers.
Even though this sounds almost too
big to be true, it is pleasant to believe
such things about desirable accessories
that are unattainable. In trimmings
that glitter, jewels are at a discount;
all that is wanted is sparkle, and SPAN
giles and rhinestones glow almost as
warmly as do gems, and at a lot less
money, though not as much less as one
might expect. Even in jewelry, mag
nificcnt pieces are made of rhinestones
arranged in such choice design and set
in gold that few can tell whether the
Jewels are real or not. The brilliancy
of the properly-cut rhinestone rivals
that of gem, and there is left nothing
but the exercise of good taste in the Sc
lection of design and color to differ
entiate the wearer of cultivation from
the tawdry user of cheap brilliants. In
trimmings the imitation gem sails

therein real gems are not expected

NOTES FOR BEEKEEPERS.

Allow no stock Of any kind to run in
the apiary during the winter.
Windbreaks around the beehives dur
ing the winter are very beneficial.
Do not allow hives of bees to stand
on high benches; set them down close
t., the ground.
Do not feed bees at night. It throws
them off their guard, interferes with
their regular routine of work and is
generally detrimental.
If the weather is too cold for the bees
t. come out, and they must he fed, feed
in the hives and try to keep all covered
up as warm as possible.
Toprevent robbing close the entrance
so as to give passage for only "a single
bee at time. This is effective if the
bees will defend themselves.
To make the most out of keeping bees
there must be the best bees, the best
hives and all modern appliances. A man
must also have a liking for the business.
II he is not willing to spend the time
on the bees that they require for theil
proper management, he had Mtter let
them alone.-St. Louis Republic.

KAmr Corn In Kanaaa.

The acreage OF kaffir corn in Kansas
this year is larger than ever before.
The drought of 1894 taught many farm
ers that they must prepare for adverse
seasons, and the fact that Katiir corn
will stand dry season when Indian
corn will dry up caused many fields to
be planted with it. The results have
been satisfactory. In some counties of
tho state, notably Montgomery, the
yield of the Kaffir corn has run as high
as 60 bushels to the acre, and 30 or 40
bushels to the acre is considered very
ordinary yield. As bushel of this corn
will 60 as far in fattening cattle and
hogs as q bushel of the Indian corn, it
can readily be seen that q great point
has been gained in its successful pro-
duction.

FARMLAND GARDEN.
THE GRANARY WEEviL.

Best Means Of determination II Bisul-
phide Of Carbon.
This is the time of year when the
farmer will begin to be worried by the
grain-bin beetle. We have heard a
great deal about them in time past, and
have no reason to expect less trouble
in tho future. We will describe the il
lustration. The size of the insects may,
be seen by the little straight line beside
each one, the insect as shown being
maRnifled. The mature weevil is seen
at figure a. His Latin name is Calan-
dra Rrnnaria. The larva, that is, the
form a it comes from the egg, is shown
at b. The pupa form is shown at c.
At d is shown another insect, the name
of which is Calandra oryza. Oryza is
Latin for rice, and this insect is popu-
larly called the rice beetle, because he
was first discovered in this grain.
There is striking similarity between
this one and the one at a, but the reader
will notice that the thorax is a lon
gitudinally punctured. -
The granary weevil is not an insect
Of recent discovery. 1t is about as old
as history, and we hear of it anterior
to the Christian era. 1t probably once
used its wings, but after many CEN

turtles Of sojourn in the granaries Of
man it seems to have lost that feature.
Its wings remain, but he has not had
the strength to use them. The head is
prolonged in front into q long snout, or
proboscis, at the end of which are the
mandibles; the antennae are elbowed
and attached to the snout.
The larva is legless, considerably
shorter than the adult, white in color,
while the perfect insect (a) is of a
shiny chestnut brown color. The pupa
(e) is also white, clear and transparent.
The report of the secretary Of agricul-
ture thus describes their habits:
"The female punctures the grain
with her snout and inserts an egg, and
from this is hatched ]arva which de-
YOURS the farinaceous interior and I'M
dergoes it's transformation within the
hull. In wheat, barley and other small
grains q single larva inhabits kernel,
but kernel of maze furnishes food
for several individuals. The chief in
jury done by the granary weevil is to
wheat, maze and barley, but it also at
tacks other grains. Unlike the moths
that attack grain, the adult weevils
feed also upon the kernels, gnawing
into them for food and shelter"
The hest mode of determination is
by means of bisulphide of carbon,
placed in the bins by means of tube.
Care should be exercised to secure
only standard quality. Probably this
will be best done by getting some that
is sold especially for this purpose, as
it is more likely to be of irst-class
strength. A little work early in the
season may save great deal later on.

A Plan by Which They May he Cured Of
tho Pernicious Habit.
A correspondent writes: 1T seems
that too much cannot be said or done
to prevent this worst of evils a hen can
fall heir to. 1t is very disgusting to
any poulterer. or even any person who
keeps poultry. When built my hem
merry I put in just few nest boxes
for tho time being, until had time to
get more, and would not believe it took
only two orthree days to learn the
habit of 'egg-eating.' They would quar-
rel over the nest and break the eggs,
then all would run to have piece, until
at last my two largest pens were full
of good-looking egg-thirsty hens, and
were, thought entirely ruined, for
when did give them more boxes they
would pick IL hole in the shell quite
leisurely and eat the contents. What
think of for awhile; then I devised q
plan which thought would break some
at least of the habit. made nest boxes
rs follows: Eight feet long, ii inches
deep, and II inches wide, then divided It
into eight nests, with one side of the
box six inches high, SO that when it
was covered they had eight inches left
to enter the nest; then set them one
foot from the floor. In there it was
dark, the space covered by lid over the
box to remove the eggs. In this Sc
Guided spot they would deposit their
eggs, and only one hen could occupy
each nest, and she hadn't room or light
enough to do much damage. This was
six weeks ago and to-day don't think
I have a hen that will cat an egg. If
some poulterer who is troubled in like
manner will give this trial am quite
confident he will be amply repaid.'-
