ENDING The QUEEN.
Description OF Method Which Has
Nevcr Resulted In FaIlurs.

Never Resulted In Failure.
1t used to be great deal of bother
for me. says L. Davenport. in American
Zee Journal, to find queens in populous
colonies sometimes, but it is not much
now, for / can find Il laying queen in
an eight or ten frame hive with four or
five minutes work, no matter how pop
ulous the colony, or what kind Of Il
queen il is: and although the method |
practice has been described before, per-
haps il might be of interest to some be-
ginners for me to give itagain.
As remove the frames from the hives
look them over for the queen. and if
she is not found readily (and with me it
is seldoml the frames with the bees are
all placed in an empty hive close by. or
hung on low rack made for this pur-
pose. II there are many bees left in
the hive, they are shaken out in front :;
an entrance guard is now placed at the
entrance and the bees on the frames are
shaken off in front of the hive. As the
bees on each comb are shaken off the
comb is placed back in the hive, and
when all are in the cover is put on, and
he next hive containing queen 20 be
found is treated the same If one has n
number of queens TO find, by the time
the last hive has been gone over the
queens of the first hives treated can be
readily found in front of their hives
among the few bees that have not gone
in.
l have never as yet lost queen by
this method, but / will say for the bene-
fit of beginners that this method should
not be practiced during he cool weather
in the spring or late in the fall after
queens have stopped laying.

ABOUT CAPoNIzINo.
The Operation Completely Changes the
Nature OF the Cockerel.


After caponizing cockerel its ma
ture becomes entirely changed. They
take on a more rapid growth, are more
tame, awkward in carriage and always
exceedingly lazy; take on very heavy
and beautiful plumage, the comb and
wattles cease to grow. the spurs do not
develop as in cockerels. The erstwhile
fighting cockerel becomes rs docile as a
chick. Instead of chasing about the
yard he keeps his own company and
spends each day in quiet living. With
out the drawback of physical exertion
the flesh rapidly increases, the bones
add weight to weight, and where under
the old way farmer would kill an or
dinary-looking cockercl of but little
weight he now dresses for market a
bird rivaling the turkey in size and
weight, whose flesh in flavor is superior
to that of the spring broiler and as
tender and juicy. Caponizing solves the
problem of disposing, of large number
of cockerels whose diminutive sizes are
small inducements to the dealer. Ca
ponize the chicks and you have at once
laid the foundation for a handsome
profit in a short time to come.
The bird to be operated on should be
from two to three months old mot over
six months) and weigh not less than n
pound to pound and half. The size
is equally important as the age. April.
May, June, August, September and De-
tober are the months generally taken
tor caponizng, for the reason that
spring chickens arrive at proper age
and weight during these months; also,
because cockerels caponized then ar
rive ut proper age and weight for mar
ket during the months of November,
December. January. February. March,
April and May, ut which times there il

cities and highest prices secured. Pill

attitudes. l should, therefore, advise
shcathing up on the inside of the stud
ding, using the ordinary boarding and
building paper on the outside Vi the
studding. The making of such dead
mir space will greatly assist in keeping
the interior warm. while the smooth
sheathing will do away with many
hooks and corners where dust and filth
may collect.
For economy in feeding with such an
arrangement of the stock, it will be
wise TO have a feedcar, or truck, to run
along the feeding floor and through the
feeding alley. a design is given here
with. This is arranged to hold good

which can be put in place when the less

ing out the manure to the manure-room,
making il of form to be easily dumped,
though a wheelbarrow will answer the
purpose very wcll.--Country Gentleman.

AMONG THE POULTRY.


Rolled eggs which adhere to the shell
are fresh.
u too much sulphur is given it is apt
TO cause leg weakness.
Keep lime and ground bone where the
fowls can help themselves.
Feed the turkeys regularly so that
they will come home regularly.
Milk cam be given in place of water
Until the fowls are six weeks old.
If the hens are well cared for while
melting they will lay before winter.
Nothing tends more to engender dis
ease in poultry than filth in the coops.
In feeding fowls closely confined,
mover feed more than is eaten up clean.
Feeding hard grain to ducks exclu-
sively usually means crippled legs or
feet sooner or later.
In keeping eggs for market at this
time II is important to keep them in as
cool place as possible.
Late-hatched pullets will nearly al
ways make small hens, as they do not
grow after cold weather sets in.
When bantams are hatched too early
IN the season they are liable to grow too
large to make them desirable.
Coarse bones in fowls indicate coarse
meat, and u coarse-meated fowl is poor
eating.-St. Louis Republic.

One of tho Best Trains to BE Found In

"If you will go down to tho Union Station

p. NJ Coates OF the Railway Mail Service
in charge of the Chicago and Omaha fast
mail Tho cars have nearly all been re-
modelled, renovated, and painted anew.
The third set OF cars Is now in the Burling-
ton company's shops undergoing treatment.
All the old oil lamps have Eeen removed
and instead the entire train of five cars Is
lighted with Pintsch gas. There are seven
lamps Of four burners each to each Car.
The cars have been furnished with new
trucks, or the old ones taken apart and re-
fitted piece by piece. All the most modern
appliances in tho matter of couplings and
air brakes help to give the flyer the best pos
sible equipment of any train cxtant.

In the Apple Orchard.

Apples should be gathered as soon as
ripe, and the surplus and inferior spec
linens should not be left upon the
ground to rot, invite vermin or breed
insects, but picked up and fed to stock
or otherwise disposed of. BY doing this
the apple worm may be greatly dimin.
ished. Bands of carpet, bagging, or
other fabric fastened around the trunks
of the trees with single long tack will
catch many of the apple worms after
they leave the fruit to undergo the last
transformation into moths. Examine
rhem weekly and kill all worms aud
pupa that are found.-Rural World.

BARN ARCHITECTURE.

How to Increase the Capacity of an Old
Structure at Small Expense.
The barns on many farms heretofore
devoted to ''mixed farming" have but
limited accommodations for cows.

many farmers are now doing, more barn

that, too, at very small expense.
