CHURCH AND CLERGY.

The next Episcopal church con-
gress will be held at Norfolk, Va, from
November II to November 20.
The recent troubles in the Salvation
Army have brought to light the fact
that this organization owns property
valued at more than 100000.

DICKMAN's BEE-FEEDER.

A, slot % IN. wide, cut entirely through
block for bees to come through to get feed |;
! 20 IL are slots cut as in. wide, ~ in. deep,
to hold feed This to be covered with
screen. which is raised by placing hin.
strips around edge and across center.
other slots, six on each side of the GEN.
ter slot, three-eighths of an inch wide,
are cut ~ inches deep, and out as near
each end as possible; one-eighth inch of
wood is left between the slots for the
bees to crawl up on and to keep them
from drowning.
These center walls, save the one on
each side of the center slot, have q
portion cut away, down as deep as the
slots are cut, which permits these slots
to fill evenly though the feed be poured
at one place. Small strips one-half
inch thick are nailed around the edge
a piece of common door screening,
cut to fit, is placed, and another small
strip one-eighth inch thick is nailed
to hold the screen in place.
These feeders were placed over each
colony by cutting small strip out of
the burlap and placing the center slot
go 'as to come between, or rather di-
rectly over, the space between two
combs in the lower story. We believe
this feeder to be as good as any we
have yet seen, as you can feed at any
time without the bees being able to
come out of the hive. If the feeder is
) full of bees it matters not, as you can
pour your feed right on them and fill
the feeder if you wish, and not a bee
will be drowned. If you wish to stop
feeding and the feeder is full of bees,
simply place the feeder on the ground,
bottom side up, and the bees will soon
return to the hive. But we have di-
crossed.
White clover yielded very poorly at
first, but got some better, until crop
of $500 pounds was taken by the ex-
tractor. Then we had a short cessation,
when the Eastwood flow began, and a
crop of 1000 pounds was harvested
and the honey from 222 stands not re-
moved, which Gf it had been removed)
would have swelled the entire crop to
over 1000 pounds. Two tons of this
honey would have sold at 1o@12R cents
per pound, and nearly one ton on hand.
There is considerable capital invested,
but this crop did not take three months
work of one man.
The query ibid it pay?" seems to be
very easily answered. One load of 800
shipped few days ago brought as
much as 300 bushels of wheat, or ], 900
bushels of oats, or $1,000 pounds of
, corn. Whether it paid or not, we think
you can find us next year as in the past
20 years-still in the business.-Jacob
Dickman, in Ohio Farmer.

FOUNDATION STOCK.
Subject That Should Be Studied by
Every Progressive Breeder.


Every Progressive Breeder.
AS foundation principle, says Prof.
Morrow, we want to use for the sire and
dam hogs that have those Characters
tics we desire and have those fixed by
good breeding. 1t is in accordance with
the best practice and with the bcst
theory that, given reasonable purity Of
breeding. it is more important to have
an additional merit in the sire and dam
than in the more remote ancestry, and
so, in descending scale, as we go back.
II we will bear in mind that in going
back only ten generations, we are each
OF us carrying the blood of J, J24 men and
women in our veins, if there have been
10 intermarriage of relations, we will
see we need not worry about what our
tenth parental ancestor was. So when a
man tells me the good points of a GER
tain breed of hogs way back in 1900 1t
don't carry much weight. AS a rule,
we had better look to the individual
merit. He thinks we make mistake
in breeding when we insist upon get
ting coarseness, perhaps length of body,
possibly slightly effeminate male.
Among hogs the male, as rule, is
coarser than the female.
There may wisely be a distinction
made in the practice of the professional
breeder and the common breeder who is
raising hogs, not for breeding purposes,
but to be sold in the market. Let the
first, as far as possible, breed from ma
ture stock. Let him see that his hogs
get good deal of exercise. Prof. Nor
row has no faith whatever in the wis
dom of the practice of combining any
animal designed for breeding purposes
without exercise, summer or winter.
On the other hand he would not have
the farmer who breeds hogs for the
general market be overly careful. 1t
will not do to say that it is wise for him
to breed only from mature animals. He
will not do it, and as rule he would
make less money If he did. If he will
renew his stock from the skillful pro-
fessional breeder he will make more
money by breeding from comparatively
young animals, and as soon as may be
turning off the dams for pork, than he
will by following the practice so impor-
tant to the professional breeder. 1t will
be wise for the producer of the pig that
he wants to sell for pork, to feed liber-
ally and well at as early an age as
acticable.-Farmers' Voice.

RAMPANT SNOBBERY.
Worship of Titles In England az Viewed
by an Euglishman.

Worship of Titles In England az Viewed
by an Englishman.
What is there in the Anglo-SaXon
nature that makes Anglo-Saxon the
prize snobs of the world! Other races
have their weaknesses, but this weak
ness they do not share with us. We
sheer at foreign titles, yet in no coun-
try are titles so openly sold. We look
with lofty disdain at some italian OF
German count, whose ancestors have
been counts for unnumbered genera.
tions. Yet we grovel before any loan
monger or brewer who has bought a
peerage, as though he were little less
than an archangel. The latest develop
ment of this craze has been the eager
ness which towns are showing to secure
a nobleman for their mayor. 1 always
felt contempt for the London county
council, since it elected a peer as IT'S
chairman, entirely unconnected with
tie metropolis, and utterly IMMERSED in
municipal matters. This was the work
of men calling themselves radicals!
And now various towns are groveling
at the feet of some peer resident in its
neighborhood iinploring his lordship to
do it the honor of allowing himself }
be nominated its mayor. Why? Simply
and solely because he is " lord, for
were he neighboring Jones it would
occur TO no one to press the post on
him. municipalities ought to consist
Of men, not only townsmen, but men
who have shown themselves useful
townsmen, and if one man more than
another ought to be permanent resi-
dent in a town, it is it's mayor. In
Italy, during the middle ages, town
used to invite some baron to be its
patron. This was because he was a
man of war and commanded men of
war, and, therefore, could defend the
burghers against their enemies. But
barons are not needed in England to
defend towns against hostile raids,
and to select a nobleman as a decora-
tive chief magistrate of a town is the
very climax of rampant shobbery.-

bottom and supported at the top by a
wire or rope WV. The advantages of
this manger are saving of space, no
feed can be wasted, and there is no
place in which the refuse parts of the
feed may collect. The seed and chafr
fall through the slat support to the
barn floor. When feeding fodder drop
this support from the top and the stalks
roll out upon the floor, from whence
they may easily be carried wherever de-
sired; they thus never become an an
noyance in the manure. When hauling
hay into the barn this support (m) may
be dropped so as to be entirely out of
the way. Withal it is cheap in it's con-

WISE SAYINGS.

The game of life looks cheerful VIXEN
one carries in ones heart the unaliena.
bic treasure.-Coleridge.
Too many, through want of prudence,
are golden apprentices, silver journey
men and copper masters.-Whitefeld.
Mental pleasures never clog; unlike
those of the body, they are increased
by repetition, approved of by reflection,
and strengthened by enjoyment.-Col-
ton.
Order is the sanity Of the mind, the
health OF the body, the peace Of the city,
the security of the state. AS the beams
to n house, as the bones to the micro
cosm of man, SO is order to all things
Southy.

AMONG The POULTRY.

Over-fat hens are in danger of apo
plexy.
Wheat is among the best foods for
laying hens.
Keep the hens scratching If you
would keep them laying.
Generally it is not Il good plan to feed
stimulating food to poultry.
The quality of the eggs depends large
ly upon the food given to the hens.
Except for feeding soft food troughs
should not be used. Always scatter
grain.
hens, it should not be made to take the
place of water.
The goose will lay about as many
eggs as the turkey and can be raised to
maturity at about one-half the cost.
Ducklings are much more easily fed
than chickens. Nothing seems to dis.
agree with them as long as it is sweet.
One advantage in raising ducks,
rather than chickens, is that they grow
almost twice as fast, are free from YER
min and less liable to disease.
The guinea is useful fowl, notwith-
standing it's peculiarities. 1t lays a
large number of eggs, which, though
small, are of good quality and nutri-
tious.
A goose is no. fully matured at one
year old, but sometimes breeders will
couple old males with young females.
Avoid getting them too fat. and give
them plenty Of opportunity for exercise.

DISEASES OF POULTRY.
1t VIII Never Pay to Attempt the Cure
a Sick Bird.

1t VIII Never Pay to Attempt the Cure OF
a Sick Bird.
If fowls are kept clean and well
sheltered from the wind and wet, and
not overfed and have a due proportion
of both soft and green food, and a
never-failing supply of clean water,
they will usually remain free from dis
ease, unless infected by strangers
When disease does occur among fowls
IL may usually be ascribed to our vari-
able climate, to dampness and cold
TO injudicious feeding and to an i'll
ventilated roosting house. We would
therefore recommend, says an author
ity, as cure in chief for all the ills
towhich poultry is subject, the practice
of the old saw, san ounce of proven
ton is worth a pound of cure" And a
good general rule for the cure of sick
Iess is that it be killed without de-
lay, for unless the birds be valuable
ones, it will never pay to attempt q
cure, and rarely SO if they are. A
diseased fowl, as will be the result OF
general observation, Is never Kindly
treated by it's healthy companions,
and, as most of the diseases to which
they are liable are highly contagious
if not killed and thus summarily dis
posed of, it should be at once removed
from the flock and confined by itself
for treatment.-Farmer's Voice

On April 2, '95, we removed so stands
of Italian bees from our cellar to their
summer stands, and found that there
had been no loss except in the weaken

three queens. We Immediately gave the
bees that had lost their queens to the
weakest colonies, leaving us AZ stands.
To these we added five more by pur-

city of honey between apple bloom
and white clover, we placed feeder
over each colony and fed them some
of this poor honey every evening, which
brought them up good and strong in
bees until the commencement of the
white clover crop. This feeding pre-
vented the cessation of egg laying by
the queen, and consequently our hives
were full of brood, larvae and eggs, and
the new honey from clover was placed
in the extracting combs, which were
now put in readiness for the expected
honey flow.

would be of benefit to some brother
beekeeper. 1t is made of two-inch
