OF young girl. yet something more, and
fairer than the blue. And as the sum
light faded and the stars took heart.
there fell the evening hush OF the
wilderness. that comes between the
dying OF the DAY and the waking OF the
night, while the sheep bells tinkled
softly and the camp. smoke rose with the
brooding curl of incense.
But as | stood there, thrilled with the
charm OF that sweet hour, there came a
sudden wild wrangle Of the sheep bells,
a surf-like roll of the trampling feet and
rush Of heaving gray as the stampeded
hock swept past ne towards the bed
ground.
The Panther cried, aloud, though
l we'll knew that a bramble caught in
the wool Of young wether is quite
enough to spread headlong terror
through the flock. Loosening my six
shooter in its scabbard, walked briskly
about the flock, calling and singing and
whistling with queer straining for a
calm that should soothe the frightened
sheep. In few minutes they were
still, and with an odd taste in bedding
were seeking places on the many rough,
fiat rocks for which We had chosen the
bed ground.

a long, plaintive call, as OF one
at loss. Raising quickly, startled
by sound so rare in that far wilderness
l shouted in answer. In a moment the
call sounded again, and nearer. Think
ing my voice might not have carried so
far. l drew my pistol and fired in the air.
There was quick budding of the
sheep. The echo of the shot had scarce
ly died when again came the cry. A
traveller, catching the answer to his call,
would ride in silence And the mourn
full plant Of it. AS of the cry of a child.
Then knew the panther was trailing

In the dense cover OF the cedars the
dark Of the star-lit night showed black
and fearful beyond the light of my fire.
The brute might crawl to within leapirg
distance before | could see him. / felt
that he would attack me on the side
farthest from the flock. Heightening
the blaze with fagots of dry cedar, / set
the bleached buffalo skull, that served
me for seat, within the doorway of TIE

in my hand.

my knee and drawing the sheath of my

knife in it and again sat listening, with
the six shooter ready beside ma and the
winchester laid in front. And then,

HINTS FOR BLEKEEPERs.

Protect the north and west sides Of
the bee hives.
II colony is found queenless unite
II with queen that has n colony.
Many bees are lost when taking u
clearing flight early in the spring.
Bees consume large quantity Of
water after they begin TO rear brood.
If bees have no convenient watering
place, one should be provided for them.
Examine the hives, and IL you do not
find brood in all stages il is a sign that
the queen is dead.
More spring dwindling results from
putting the bees out too soon than from
any other one cause.
BY feeding now. the bees will breed
more rapidly, thereby increasing the
force of the working bees.
One of the best ways of uniting coli
onies Is 10 set one hive over the other
and let the bees mix at will.
1t is best to contract the entrances to
the hives in early spring until the
weather becomes warm and settled.
In case the queen is dead take frame
of brood from another hive and tho
bees will soon rear queen for them
selves.
In all feeding care must be taken not
TO spill the feed about the hives. 1t
may, and generally viii, induce rob
bling.
To introduce n strange queen into
hive put her into queen cage, cover
her with sugar paste and lay on top OF
the frames.
Cutting off edges Of the comb or cut
ting holes in the same where there are
eggs or larvae just Matched will almost
always insure the starting OF queen
cells.
Better queens can be secured II we
wait for the queen cells TO be started
naturally by the bees under the swarm
ing impulse. by early feeding and add
ing brood this period can be fastened.

II is not always in the large markets
that the highest prices are obtained for
eggs. One reason why so many farmers
ship their eggs TO a distant market Is
because II Is easier TO do so than to sell
nearer home. When lot OF eggs can be
sent away in n crate 10 be sold by an
agent the work Is done, and when sold In

They Are Fed on Fresh Fish 20 ~

Pigs like fish. and pigs raised along
shore owned by fishermen get plenty OF
fish TO eat. Sometimes fish is fed TO the
fish to clear them of scuryy. Horseshoe
crabs are often fed to pigs, the crabs be-
ing cut clear of the shells so that the
pigs can get at them easily; the pigs
like horseshocs.
often around salt water creeks min
nows are caught and dumped into pig
pens by the bushcl. Many fish have
hard. sharp. projecting spines that
might stick in the pigs throat. When
fish of this sort are fed the spincs are
first cut off. and only the bodies and
tails fed. One OF the names OF the
American sole is hog choker.
Other food is fed along with fish. and
fish is never fed TO the pigs before kill
ing time; IL would make the pork taste

Bay of Fundy way pigs go out at low

The experience of +. +. Smith is that
in feeding straw IL is essential that the
grain diet should be increased n little,
and that the two should be so mixed
that both will be rclished. Very few an
imals will eat much clean straw. They
prefer hay. Cut the straw fine with a
hay cutter. moisten IL little and mix
the grain with 10. Bran. onts and oil
meal are the best for the mixture. Feed
this to them regularly. and keep all tho
fresh. loose straw before them they
need. Clean this out every day and see
that fresh. sweet supply Is given TO
them. While being fed on straw, hay
and corn stalks should be kept awny
from them. These should be altcrnatcd
twice week. Horses when not nt work
will thrive on this feed. and also beef

The Lowest Rates Ever Made 10 nm

1t IN Now Being Tried I'm Nearly All
Sections of the Country.
One Of the most promising signs of
the times from the standpoint of ag-
riculture is the awakening interest of
the farmers of the country in improved
methods OF production, in diversified
farming and in seeking out new fields
for endeavor. In no other direction,
perhaps, is there such marked evidence
of the last-named tendency MS in the
growing sentiment favorable TO the
cultivation of the sugar beet, which
seems TO be in every mind, and which
IL likely TO be tried this season in near
" every section of the country where IL
is believed the saccharine vegetable
may succeed.
In no other direction is there such
opportunity, at least so far as crop
cultivation is concerned, for the de-
mand awaits every pound OF sugar
which can be produced, while there is
no danger that there will be too much
of il for the next half-century. The
figures are interesting. II is estimated
that by all the beet-sugar factories Of
this country there were produced last
year but 10000 tons. The annual con-
sumption of sugar in this country is p
10000 tons, and this amount will of
course increase with growth in popula-
tion. II is estimated that the average
mere of sugar bects will yield one ton
of pure sugar. or, in other words, that
IL will require more than 100000
acres OF the vegetable TO supply the
