White Xeraua Yellow Corn.

There is more or less discussion OF
the question whether the yellow vari-
cites or white varieties Of corn give the
larger yield. The general opinion
seemed to be that the white varieties
made on the average a greater yield
than the yellow, and results of this
kind were reached at number of ex-
pertinent stations where many varieties
We're tested, and particularly III some
of the southern states.
The results of seven years tests i'll
Illinois, too showed slightly larger
yield i'll favor of the white varieties
the average of all the white sorts for
the seven years being 61.S bushels
against an average of 60. 3 for all the
yellow varieties. Last year, however
the results Were very considerably the
other way. Upwards Of 20 different
varieties were grown. The average Of
all the yellow varieties was Z /. bushels,
while that of the white varieties was
but 55 So marked "a difference III favor
of the yellow kinds tends to unsettle the
opinion, which was beginning to be
pretty generally entertained, that the
whites We're the larger yielders.

The "Russian Thistle.

The so-called Russian thistle or
.tumbleweed,a has found its way 10 the
vicinity of Chicago. as it was sure 10 do
sooner or later, and is causing no little
annoyance to the farmers OF northern
Illinois and Indiana. 1t came, OF course,
along the railway lines with the srook-ears,
and great patches of it are now found on
the outskirts of the city. 1t first got a
foothold in this country over twenty years
ago, having been brought by some Rus
sian coonists who settled in the North
west. 1t soon took firm possession OF the
Dakotas, and began to spread itself over
a dozen other States and Territories 1t
is a pest that promises to make more
trouble than the Canada thistle ever did
Already it causes loss of several millions
annually to the farmers of the Northwest,
and its revages are increasing every year.
Thus far science has been appealed to
almost in vain for some effective means of
getting rid of this extremely unwelcome
immigrant -HaibtY-'s R0HNd Iabit.

Bitter Rot of Grapes.

Just as they are ripening giving them
Il blistered or sun scalded appearance
Bitter rot also attacks the stems of the
fruit clusters, and it is here that it does
its greatest damage, for the diseased
stems, instead of curing" and becom-
ing soft and plant when picked, SO as
to pack nicely and carry well, becomes
hard and brittle. The berries fall Off
easily, and such shattered punches are
quite unsuitable in market.
The early spraying with bordeaux
does not prevent this disease, according
to n bulletin from the Alabama station.
Something can be done toward control
ling it by training the vines so that the
fruit will hang i'll the shade Of the
leaves, for such sheltered fruit is less
often diseased than that hanging ex-
posed to the sun and dew. On this ac-
count some form of horizontal trells is
much to be preferred to the ordinary
vertical trellis or to training to stakes.

Rest After Meals.

In the first place. it is quite evident
that due regard for the welfare OF the
body Goes not permit one to eat iull
meal immedi tely following hard labor

energy has become depleted, and needs
a period of rest, during which it can
gather its scattered powers and prepare
them for exertion in a new direction;
because the labor of digestion IS labor.
lust as much as that of digging a trench
or plotting a novel, though IN different
way. The exhausted housewife who
drops in her chair at the dinner table,
after having prepared food for large
family, declaring that she is too tired
to eat, states in non-teohnical phrase a
truth which students of the science of
nutrition have long recognized. A suit

BfeHIVEs FOR FARMERS.
Profitable Etokecping without the Use of
Movable Comb Hives.

Profitable Esokeeping Without the Use of
Movable Comb Hives.
The late l.. l.. Langstroth, inventor
Of the movable comb beehive, several
times advised farmers against the use Of
this hive. His reason probably for this
advice was that farmer beekeepers are
not generally we'll Informed regarding
the science Of beckeeping, and the NOV
able combs cntlce them into untimely
and improper manipulations with the
bees. ". Z. Hutchinson, the we'll known
Michigan beekceper, writing to Country
Gentleman, says: Probably the great
est mistakes in this linz come from di-
vid1ng ~plonies too carly, or too late, or
too frequently, or in an improper man
ncr. To make increase artiticially i'll a
proper manner requires Judgment and
Il thorough knowledge of the principles
Of beekeeping-in fact, very few special
lists now practice making increase arti-
ficially.
The movable comb laid bare the Sc
crets Of the hive, and now that they
have been learned there is really but
little need Of moving the combs, save III
exceptional eases. OF course in pro
dueing extracted honey the combs III
the supers must be handled, but expert
eneed honey producers seldom disturb
the combs of the brood nest. When there
are external indications that something
Is wrong, then the brood nest is opened
to learn what the trouble is.
In the last few years there has been a
disposition to handle hives more and
frames tcombs) less, apd hives have
been modified with tha@end in view.
Without decrying the value of movable
combs, the advice Is given that unless
their owner viii take the trouble to
learn how to use them properly he had
better let them alone. Even experts have
talked of dispensing with movable
combs.
A swarm hiyed in box hive of the
right size and shape will store just as
much honey in the supers as it would
had it been hived III movable comb
hive. The bees Will winter just as well
perhaps bctter-in the box hive They
will store as much honey the next year,
and the next, and so on, and so long as
everything goes well all is well, but
when trouble comes-if II queen is lost,
if colony is found short of stores late
in the fall, If disease foul BROOD gets
into the apiary, etc.-then movable
combs are needed. The advice Of the
authority quoted to farmers is to get
movable combs and learn how to use
them, or else let them alone except to
remedy some trouble that has come to
ii colony. But itcnnnot be disputed thar
most excellent and profitable beekocp.
ing can be carried ON without movable
comb hives.

Breeders must have learned by experience
in the past few years that the market calls for
one class OF horses steadily and that class OF
horses can find a ready market at paying
prices as fast as they are matured, while other
classes are drug and are unsaleable at al
most any price.

is dark bay. white heels behind a two year
old, without training, stepped quarter in Al
