HINTS FOR sEEKEEPERS.

Protect the north and west sides Of
The bee hives.
If colony is found queenless unite
it with queen that has a colony.
Many bees are lost when taking o
clearing fight early in the spring.
Bees consume q 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 If you do not
find brood in all sthges it is 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. .--A

THE FLAVOR OF EGGS.
Green Bone Ia the Cheapest Hen Food
on the Market.

Green Bone IL the Cheapest Hen Food
on the Market.
Good feeders have long known that
certain kinds Of food would greatly inn
nrove the flesh of animals for human
consumption. The feeding of roots i'm
proves the quality of mutton; art-
chokes improve the quality of pork.
Enterprising duck farmers have found
that the feeding of celery improves the
flavor of their birds, and chestnuts are
fed to fattening turkeys to produce
game flavor. Green cut bone is fed
to chickens for the same reason and to
increase the size of the fowls and TO in
crease and improve the flavor of their
eggs. Careful experiment and practi-
cal experience have proven beyond any
question of doubt that the liberal feed
ing of green cut bone will double the
egg yield from q given number of hens.
Green bone is the cheapest egg food on
the market to-day, and in many places
can be had for the mere asking. In
those places where it has acquired
commercial value it can be bought for
25 to 30 cents per 100 pounds. This is
much cheaper than wheat, which is the
best of the cereal reproducing foods
Green cut bone has such potent force
in increasing egg production that 1t will
be found especially helpful in winter,
producing large quantities of eggs when
they are of greatest valSe.-Journal OF

pERpLExITlEs OF A PRESIDENT.
Constantly Beset by Seekers After
Office.

To a large extent the administration
of a president of the United States is
judged by the character of the men
whom it selects for public office. AS
soon as president is inaugurnted, his
perplexities begin. lie may have been
the idol of his party up to that time, but
his will be an exceptional experience il
he does not find friends turning into
critics or even into opponents, because
of their disappointment over his nomi-
buttons.
Practically, his first official act Is to
nominate the eight cabinet officers who
are to be his advisers, and each OF
whom is TO be the head of an important
department of the government service.
Then comes the necessity of selecting
ambassadors and ministers, consuls and
collectors, postmasters and district at
torneys, and other officers of greater or
less Importance.
Although most of the minor places
have been brought under the civil serv-
ice rules, and are filed through com
petitive examinations, the number OF
officers nominated by the president, sub
iect to the confirmation of the senate, Is
still large enough to cause new presi-
dent much anxious thought.
On the one hand, president is beset
with the opportunities of men who
want offices for themselves or others.
Perhaps they were active in securing his
nomination. Or they were chairmen
of political committees. Or they were
generous contributors of campaign
funds. Each of them has some person
al or party claim to consideration, which
he does not hesitate to press.
On the other hand, a president feels
the pressure of an enlightened public
sentiment, which demands the sub
ordination of personal and partisan con-
siderations to the public good, and
makes fitness the first requisite in Off
eial station.
This sentiment is specially strong
with reference to the diplomatic service.
1t CRATES upon American sensibilities
to have men appointed to represent the
United States at foreign nations. When
man is commissioned for foreign serv-
ice who does not even know the Ian
guage of The country where he is to re-
side: or another man is made minister
at an important capital for no better
reason than that he has been ahustling
marty leader in congress, the administra'
zion responsible for such appointments

JocNl Markets for Eggs.

It 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 distant market is
because it is easier to do SO than to sell
nearer home. When lot of eggs can be
sent away in crate to be sold by an
agent the work is done, and when sold in
the nearest town more time must be
given. If the towns were better sup
piled prices would be higher in the
large markets, and 1t will no doubt pay
to build up local custom for eggs,
rs better prices ore obtained In that
manner than by shipping to the cities.

BUSINESS JUDGMENT.

II Is Necessary to Make Poultry
Keeping Success.
If farmers and poultrymen generally
would use more business Judgment
thew would be more successful. 1t Is
not only necessary to send fresh eggs
to market, but they should be well
sorted in the crate as to color and size.
Furthermore, they should be clean.
Dirty eggs and all varieties of shapes
and colors will not attract the eye OF
the buyer, says the Homestead. In
these days of close competition one
cannot be too careful about the man
ner in which shipments are made. 1T
is the same with dressed poultry. Poui-
try should have plump and tempting
appearance, free from pin feathers
and absolutely clean. The head and
feet should have a clean and fresh look.
One reason why scalded poultry never
sells we'll in market is on account of
the pale, shrunkSn look of the head.
giving it siclkly look. Another good
business principle is TO serve the mar
ket according to her demands. If she
wants white eggs don't ship brown, and
if she wants brown. don't force white
shipment on her. Your broilers would

that must be closely studied. Waiting

ment. There are too many waiting for
those events. The man who markets
when he has something ready for mar
ket is generally the one who comes out
the best. And he who Is enabled to

the greatest success.

the albumen of their eggs in q form
which is easily digested by the weaker
stomachs of mankind. So he feeds his
