IN HER HUNDREDTH YEAR.
A Chat with One Who Is Near the
Century Mark.

Philadelphia Record.
1t is not often one enjoys the rare pleas
ure of chat with one who not only has
the crown of gray hairs but is also in
her hundredth year. Such a one is Mrs.
Elizabeth Mallock who lives at Chestnut
and Thirty-third streets. AS she looked
out of a west window of the large sunny
sitting room in which most of her time is
passed, one was, perforce, reminded that
she had been looking out of life's west win
dows for what most of us would call some
years. But it does not look that way to
her. she thinks she would get strong if she
only went out, and seems not to under
stand why she should be weak Any one
else might be tempted to wonder so, too,
since she has no disease and a good APP
petite. Sometimes in speaking of her age
she says jokingly that she is about seventy
two, statement which she might well
stick to If it were not for records.
She was born at Albany, N. Y June 30
1888, but most of her life has been passed
here in Philadelphia, to which CITY she
came with her husband in 1919. Her husband
devolved the responsibility of bringing up
their nine children, two of whom are dead
enc having lost his life in the civil war OF
her seven sons four went to the war She
mas twenty grandchildren, twenty~three
great-grandchildren and one great-great-
grandchild. and she kept her family togeth-
ere even after the children married.
She is interested in everything. The news
papers are read to her, though sometimes
she reads them herself. She takes all the
wonderful improvements a matter of
course, out can get accustomed to football

Sonnet.

The hope of future life was never learned
From any scroll tome; before the time
Expression used the art of prose or rhyme.
The heart amid its lost possessions yearned
For life beyond the grave. Love weeping turned
And hoped that in some distant, sunny cline
Its mate survived far from the surge sublime
OF Deaths long billow, where rose inurned
In autumn's sepulcher at twilight brings
The breeze to mourn its fragrant lifes short
lease;
Where skies are bright, and harps with golden
strings
Vibrate to tuneful songs that never cease;
Where needless of the past the sad soul sings
Forever in the splendid courts of peace!

bringing off their broods, that ''break

His experience simply confirms what
has been repeatedly affirmed. that a
hen can become too fat to he profit
able and that the best remedy for
such hens is to allow them to incubote
giving only one meal every two days.
AS the hen when on the nest does not
exert herself, there is but little loss of
and she will have sufficient
ia stored on her frame, to support her
for more than a week on one meal.
The best method with fat hens is to
sell them, as they will then bring good
prices; but if it is preferred to retain
them let them hatch and raise chicks.

Bone as Grit.

A box of hard ground bone of the
fneness of wheat grains should be
kept in the poultry yard where the
hens can help themselves. The bone
serves as grit and is also food, supply
ing lime for the shells of eggs, and
also contain phosphoric acid in COM
bination with the lime. The differ
ence between oyster shells and ground
bones is that the bones are digestible
while the shells afford but little for
the use of the fowls. 1t is not infer
red that ground bone is a substitute
for cut green bone, for such is not the
case Use the cut green bone but also
grit, as it is the best of all materials
have plenty of the hard sharp bone
for grit that can be used.-EXchange.

satisfactory she will begin laying

The only difficulty that arises is,
that not in every case will they accept

Almost all breeders now use self

Bees in Horticulture.

have lately had my attention called
to the fact that there was great diff
ference in the yield of honey from col
onies located only from one to two
miles apart. Judging from this says
Mrs Harrison, in Coleman's Rural
World, orchardists, farmers and gar
deners, will not get the full benefit Of
their crops of fruit vines and clovers,
if they do not keep bees upon their
own fields. Especially is this true, it
the weather should be foggy and
damp during the blooming season.
Specialists in bee culture know that
a good place to locate an apiary is
near large orchards, seed farms, al
falfa or alsike clover fields, pickle
farms, etc. Those who raise cucum
bers under glass, find they must have
bees in their green house or their GU
cumbers will not set. Those who are
engaged in these pursuits, unless there
are large apiaries near them, should
cultivate bees as we'll as fields.
'"He who would live at ease, should
cultivate both fruit and bees" 1t
would be better for the welfare OF our
country, if bees were more equally
distributed. Very large apiaries are
not as deirable ais that every orchard
and farm should have sufficient work.
ers to gather the nectar, and fertilize
the bloom. 1t is not necessary that
every farmer should be a skillfui
apiarist and secure large crops OF
honey, but he should keep bees ill
large hives, we'll protected from the
intrusion of stock. Where horses and
other animals have been injured by
being stung it was usually the result
of carelessness. Hives should be well
protected, and not placed near hitch
ing posts, nor drinking places.
Plant for Bees.-Beekeeper who
have experimental along this line,
claim that it does not pay to plant
for honey alone; but there are many
crops and trees that can be grown,
| that have a dual value, such as the
clovers, alsike and white. What is
more beautiful upon a lawn than the
linden or Eastwood? Sweet clover,
| Mellitotus alba and Mellitotus
officinalis, are yearly gaining in favor,
as food for stock and bees, and are
fast roofing out dog-fennel and other
noxious weeds, from rOadsides and
waste places. They thrive on gravelly
knobs, railroad entertainments and
rocky hillsides.

Changing the Stock.

If YOU have a hive of old black bees,
it is but an easy matter to change the
stock, and no better time to do it than
Just now. Send to some good, reliable
breeder of italian bees and procure
a queen, for during the fall months
they are sold at less than half the
price they can be had at any other
time. Queens are sent by mail, and
they will come right to your postot-
flee. 1t is a nice little trick to intro
duce a queen to a colony of bees sue
cessfully, but you can easily learn,
and then YOU can do it as we'll as any,
body.
The first thing in order after you
get your queen is to remove the old
queen from the hive you wish to in
troduce the new one to. If your hive
is not a movable frame hive, it is
quite little job to find her, and you
can only with smoke drive the bees
all out of the hive into an empty one,
and by the use of two empty ones you
can shake the bees out on a white
sheet, placing one of the hives about
foot away from the spot you shake
the bees; shake small portion at IL
time. and head them in the direction
of the hive They will travel to the
hive, and it is an easy matter to See
the queen travelling in the procession.
Such hives as these are better trans
ferred into movable frame hives first.
When movable hives are used it is
only necessary to take out the frames,
and the queen can be found on them
very readily. No queen bee can be CIV
en- to a colony of bees at once, as they
would kill her, except in rare cases;
hence she must be introduced and
made acquainted with them by pre-
senting her royalty to them in wire
oauze cage, where she is at all times
present to them, and at the same
time they cannot modest her, as she is
secure in the cage. Thus kept in their
presence for twentyfour, thirty-siX or
forty-eight hours, as the case may be

Miscellaneous Crossing.

sure to decide on crossing Cne TWO
breeds, and for that reason the bet
ter plan is to keep only single breed.
But suppose that it will be beneficial
to cross two breeds there is some sys
tenn to follow. To cross the active
Leghorn, with it's tall comb, with such
a fowl as the Brahma, which is entire
ly opposite to the Leghorn in every
respect, is almost an outrage on ma
ture, as it is impossible to do so with
out losing more than can be gained
from the experiment. There is no plan
by which one can gain more than he
will lose in making crosses, for al
though it may appear an advantage
from some one point Of view there
may be dozen drawbacks from other
directions. A cross of Plymouth Rock
and Brahma would not be so far apart
as one of Brahma and Leghorn, yet
there never has been cross made in
which anything was gained in prac-
tice, though there are many theories
in favor of crosses which are never
fulfilled.
During the past two years farmers
have made nothing, owing to low
prices for produce. One farmer who
has paid hired man wages for years
was compelled to discharge him, but
allowed him the use of a small house
and two acres Of ground at one cor
ner of the farm. The hired man had
no capital and began with poultry,
though occasionally finding days
work with some farmer He had been
on his two acres just three years last
August when his former employer
offered him his old position again. He
did not accept, but rented the two
acres and two more for five years
Then he and the employer compared
notes, when the latter was atonished
to find that his former hired man had
maze more money on the two acres
the last year of the three than the
employer had on the whole farm, and
the hired man had discovered that he
could do better at raising poultry for
market than he could at working on
a farm for the employer. Now here
was farmer with a large farm who
had never attached any Importance to
poultry He had kept fowls, and his
wife attended to them, but they were
not considered in the work of farm
ing" The hired man, by force of cir
cumstances mad to raise poultry be-
cause he did not have the capital to
buy sheep hogs, or cattle, and both
parties found that they had for years
overlooked something that afforded
a larger profit on the investment than
ANYTHING else, and they have deter
mined to give the hens an opportunity
TO assist. And what is true in the
case mentioned applies to all farmers.
They will grow crops that do not
more than pay for the labor, and take
all the chances Oh drouths and low
prices and at the same time give no
attention to the hen, though she re-
turns a revenue every month in the
year.-Mirror and Farmer.
