Der, sometimes making the first course
of hemlock. and the upper one of spruce.
which bears the wear Of wagons and
horses better. For . wagon house,
where a nice floor is required, the upper
course may be made of yellow pine. II
is also the best way to lay floor in mows
or bays where hay is to be stored over
stables or wagons, as it is more imperyi-
Gus to dust and dirt than are matched
boards, and is also stiff and strong.
Floors intended to sustain heavy ma
chinery. such as hay presses or thrash

custom to make Of three-inch plank,
both edges being grooved SO that .
tongue could be laid in where the edges
Joined. This method is expensive and
does not make as good floor as is con-
sructed by using three thicknesses Of
lumber, laying the middle course di.
agonally and being careful to lay the
upper course 80 that it shall break
joints over the lower course. BY this
means the floor is like one solid piece
of lumber, which will not spring or

KILLING THlsTLEs.

The notion that Canada thistles can
be killed by moving them in dog days

ter will enter and rot the roots. has been
going the rounds of the press ever since
/ can remember, and it will keep right
on being printed, no doubt. Is not the
annual growth east OF in any case,
whether it is moved or not? And as
for the hollow stalks, they are not hol-
low any further down than il perfectly
healthy for the thistle, and good buds
are just below, all ready for the next
year. The least Of . thistle's troubles
il the rotting Of its root in this way.
What really happens is, that, moved
in late summer. there 10 better chance
for the grass. which grows and thick.
ems al the fall. and thus the thistles are
superseded. Every farmer kills oceans
OF thistles in this way as perfect mat
ter Of course. The hay on new seeded
land IL often mostly thistles; the second
year they are much diminished; the
third there i nearly clean grass, pro
vided. Of course, that the ground can
produce good grass. Give thistles clean

He win Watch Hls Boeo b Winter -
Well ~ In 0umnef.
The expert bee-keeper watches hss
apiary in winter n well as In summer.
True, the bees should not be disturbed
il they are doing well. for If strong.
healthy colony is rudely disturbed some
bees will leave the cluster and, per-
chance, the hive. II the weather il cold
enough to chill them, many Of these will
perish. Another bad result OF such a
disturbance is, that from some instinct
i've cause the bees fill themselves With
honey, and If . prolonged period of arc
tic weather follows and prevents them
from taking q cleansing flight the col
ony will become unhealthy, which,
causes its loss entirely.
But these cautionary suggestions dn
not imply that there il NO winter work
to be performed in the apiary. The
most skillful bee-keeper look after
their bees mt all seasons. He watches
them throughout the year. and Is ac-
quainted with the situation and condi.
tions of each colony. 1t happens some
times that colony goes into winter
quarters with large number Of old
and nearly wornout bees and but few
of younger stock. In very cold weathes
the older bees succumb and. falling,
soon clog the entrance to the hive. Un-
less they are removed, the entire colony
will smother. The entrance must b
kept open. This Is easily done with
wire hook about . foot long. Some
times excessive moisture in q hive
causes some fatality, often sufficient to
block the entrance at the bottom. Thus
it is necessary TO watch the apiafy
every day to avoid unnecessary losses
Care is required in removing dead beel
in order that the live ones may not
be disturbed or aroused to activity.
1t sometimes happens, notwithstand-
ing the attentio-. that may have been
given to fall-feeding, that colony may
have consumed its supply Of honey in
midwinter. 1t must be fed or be lost
Methods of feeding are familiar to all
but it is not out Of place to state that

it and appease their hunger. Some bee

ABOUT REGISTRATION.

Trottlng H0rse Brooders Have Been Too
Careless AbQe It.
The general and universal depression
in the trotting horse business during
the last three years has bred q great
deal of inexcusable carelessncss on the
part of breeders and owners of stations
bearing on the subject Of establishin.
and verifying pedigrees. says the
Western Horseman. AS is we'll known,
under the ruling of the Register asso.
citation an animal cannot be registered
without a certificate from the owner Of
the sire, or his accredited agent, and
also q certificate from the owner Of th1
dam at the time she was bred. During
recent years all owners have been more
or less recreant about registering, and
many standard but unregistered ami
mails have changed hands, and many
who bred standard mares tc standard
sires have neglected to have their hold
ings registered. Al the future looks
much brighter for the breeding inter-
est. owners are growing proportionate-
ly concerned about registration. and
at this point they encounter trouble.
as parties who bred standard animals
and sold them unregistered, and owners
OF stations to which mares were bred
manifest great indifference about
furnishing evidences to establish breed
ing when called upon. This is not right.
Any breeder who sells an animal unreg-
istered IS in honor bound to promptly
furnish evidence of breeding when
called upon, and an owner of sire who
will not promptly furnish the evidence
Of breeding when called upon. and IN
owner of sire who will not promptly

jumped up and rushed at the waiter,
but they were not quick enough. The
meek man had let out with his left foot
and kicked him in the shins. That kick
bent him forward. and, as he came,
the meek man swung his right and
caught him in the short ribs There
