but from around about. The demo-
cratic cyclone had razed several Of its
contemporaries to various levels, and
the people of Lyle had no desire to
serve as condiments for one of Boreas'
in transitu lunches They determined
to outwit the cyclone, in fact. To build
a cyclone cellar for each inhabitant
would be too expensive, even for an
ambitious community like that in ques-
ton, so it was determined that, if the
dread cyclone should come it should
not be fattened on the youth and beauty
of the town, but must satisfy its raw
enous gluttony on the old and full
grown residents. Accordingly, when the
directors built a, new school, which was
opened at the beginning of the present
school year, there was built near it
a commodious, if not a distinctively
picturesque cyclone cellar, and now the
students in the public school of Lyle,
instead of imagining once or twice
week when the ominous gong rings,
that they are trying to get out of the
building before the fire department
gives them a wetting, form in line and
march with the strictest military dis
cipline to the caYernous recesses of the
cyclone cellar. The bi-weekly visits,
it is said, are a source of no little en-
joyment to the pupils, perhaps from
the military spirit which animates
the marching; mayhap, from the dark
interior of the cave, in which the pupils
are relieved for a time from the closest
scrutiny of the observant teacher.
The success of the new institution at
Lyle has created a f1utter in the other
towns Of the Southern tier, and there
are movements now in progress in Aus
tria, Elmore, Albert Lea, F'airmont,
jackson, Luverne, Sleepy Eye, and
many another prairie town looking for
the extension and continuance of the
Lyle plan.
The Lyle idea has not as yet been
the recipient Of a formal expression by
the state at large either of favor or
disfavOr, but the department of public
instruction is inclined to grant that the
eXigencies Of the citizens of Lyle are
sufficient warrant for the innovation.
1t really makes no apparent difference
whether the occasional marching, so
long as it is not in earnest, is away
from a scorching but imaginary fire,
or devastating but equally fictitious
hurricane.

Purchasing Bees.

The Courier: This is one of the puzzles
to the beginner. when TO buy. A writer in
l think the spring the best time. In the
hands of the master it might pay to buy
In the fall. as they can be bought much
cheaper then. But a novice would not
know whether they were in proper condi-
ton to winter successfully or not. or what
TO do in case they were not, or how to pre-
pare them in case they needed special at
tention preparatory to going into winter
quarters. But by purchasing in the spring,
even though they cost a dollar per colony
more, there is no risk to run, for with a
reasonable season they will pay for them
selves and there will be something left.
l would advise buying as near home as
possible, to save express charges. as it is
very difficult to ship small lots of bees by
local freight. If you feel timid about hand
ling them l should advise buying pure Ital-
ians, as they are more quiet than the
blacks or hybrids; but if you are not. 1
ticular strain you may see advertised in
the bee journals. The honey gathered by
the blacks and hybrids is just as sweet,
and the quantity just as great as that
gathered by the high-toned or high-priced
races, and no bee on earth builds such del
icate combs. or caps its honey with such
bee.
l would advise. if possible. to buy full.
strCng colonies, and wherever you may live
i should advise having them moved or
shipped about the time apple trees blossom.
Make your purchase as early as possible,
but don't be in a hurry to have them
moved: they are much better where they
are until settled warm weather has come
to stay, and the blossoms are producing
nectar. Perhaps some of you don't feel
able to buy strong colonies: if not, you can
buy two, three or four frame nuclei for
less money and at less cost of ~transporta-
ton. These you can build up during the
season, and make good colonies of them
by fall. but you could not reasonably eN-
pect much increase in number, or much
surplus honey. while, on the other hand,
with strong colonies you can double your
spring count. and with a good season and
good managemen get enough surplus
honey to pay for the colonies you buy IN
the spring. 1 advise beginners to make
haste slowly. and make the bees pay their
way every season; then should you meet
with winter losses you Will be nothing out

miscellaneous Notes.

Keep a record during the season of the
plants, trees and fruits. wherever you find
them, and then when you wish to purchase
you will know what you want. You will be
surprised how helpful il will be.
Any fnrmer can afford to think twice be-
$50 a monstrous price TO pay for a young
bull which he is quite sure to be a good
one, and then turn about and pay about
tETee-fourths as much for the veriest
scrub. Why are so many so blind or
thoughtless?
More hard work is to be done on an acre
OF strawberries than upon an acre of any
that more money and more pleasure can
be derived from that same acre. Manure
the ground well, but not too heavily, lest
too great a plant growth be induced and
black rust invited.
Beets make an excellent addition to dry
are especially good for ewes while raising
their early lambs. Run them through
a root cutter and feed them a quart night
and morning. To make good flesh or wool
they must have some substantial food be-
side the "roughness" they gather them
selves.
My method of growing cucumbers espe-
of well pulverized soil together. level them
OFF smooth with the garden rake and scat
ter seed literally all along the row. In
this way | can be pretty sure of enough
plants being left by the bugs to insure a
crop. Our choice of varieties is the Per-
lection Picking. A good way TO plant
cucumber. melon and squash seed is to
them. Then push them down to the re-
CURED depth with the finger. compress the
soil well about the seeds and loosen the
surface soil lightly with the rake.
