Not everyone can go South for March, but almost every body can spend a dollar or two for Scott's Emulsion of Cod-livcr Oil. If you have got a lingering cough or are run down; are weak and ex- hausted by reason of the Grippe, ask your doctor if Scott's Emulsion isn't just what you need in the emer- gency.

PROTECTING QUEENS.
Ulo<s to Rescue Them In Case They shonis
lie "IsaIled."

When queen is balled you'll fnda
bunch OF bees as large as a hickory nut
or larger that seem 10 cling together
IN a very solid manner. You can't pull
the bees apart and you may roll the
ball over and over.
If strange queen is thrown into
a hive she is usually balled, and. as
nearly ms we can make out. the process
il something like this: The bees SEIZE
the queen at various points till she Is
entirely surrounded, then other bees
seize the ones that have hold of the
queen, and in this position they remain
fixed for hours, until the queen is dead.
If strange worker Is thrown into the
hive she isn't treated the same as
queen, and nothing but queen is ever
balled. The worker may be bitten or
stung but never balled.
The balling bees generally make a
kissing sound. unlike the noise they
make nj any other time. Whether that
proceeds from anger or what, we do not
know.
Sometimes bees will ball their own
queen, usually Tor the sake OF protec'-
ing her. In the middle of ball of her
own bees, il certainly seems she ought
10 be safe from foes. You cannot pull
the bees apart so ms to free the queen,
and if you should succeed in getting
some of the bees away, or should man
age to get the queen loose, the bees
will Immediately seize her again. Per
haps the quickest way to get the queen
free is to throw the ball into cold
water. The little mscreants vii

iNExCUSABlE WASTE.
Why Some Poultry Men DO Not Make
Their business Pay.


One cannot fully realize the extent
of loss entailed upon those making any
sort of pretense TO poultry raising, until
the various grades of it are examined
in the great markets and a selection is
made of that which is desirable to suit
reasonably well cultivated taste. Here
is where the critical test is made OF
the sort of care the poultry has re-
ceived from time of incubation until
properly dressed and packed ready for
shipment to the central market. as well
as the profit which is to be realized or
the loss sustained by the systematic or
careless producers. Packages stand
side by side in every commission house
in Chicago, amounting TO thousands OF
tons per annum, of poultry of all grades
of quality, invoking the discriminating
prices which rendered unto the indif-
ferent poultry raiser that which be-
long to the slothful, and unto the sys-
tematic the profits which belong to the
industrious; some shippers obtaining
four or five cents per pound while others
obtain ten to IS cents, and actually TIE
higher priced product is more salts
factory to the consumer than the cheap
er stuff. Some of the poultry is plump.
wfite and nicely dressed, while much
of II is thin, dark colored and repulsivc
to look upon. The surprising thing is
that the shippers of this poor stuff are
offended because they tail to rcceiN c
tile highest quotations in return for
their shipments. There is room for a

the raising and handling of poultry.

ton upon this subject to enable them

about $50, OO0.0 900. The eggs came princi.

Such action on our part would simply In

fact TO those who have taken the trouble 10
