A MALIGNANT ENEMY.
Why the Rec Moth should lie Fought
with Utmost Niror

Bees are capable of taking care of
themselves, under ordinary cncum-
stances, if the colonies are strong, but
if they become weak in numbers and
the food supply diminished towards
the starvation point, owing to an un-
favorable season, or for agS other
causes, the enemies Of the little work
ers find access and encroach upon all
that remains. The bee moth is one of
the enemies most to he dreaded. These
insects may be seen flying about in the
evening and are attracted by the light
of lamp or candle and may be de-
stroyed to some extent by making 4
lighted trap. If not carefully guarded
against, they will deposit their eggs in
favorable conditions about the hives
which soon hatch out a brood of worms
These worms form the pupa or chrysalis
state, by inclosing themselves in
silky web which may be found about
the empty combs and the joints of the
hives, ready when the time comes to
again change TO the butterfly stage of
transformation. These insect enemies
of the bee should be destroyed. if pos
sible, whenever any evidence of their
presence appears.-Farmers Union.

meat on the outside, the inner portion
near the bones is not frozen. AS the
freezing process goes on this heat il

cause OF all the trouble. 70 overcome
this difficulty two New Zealand invent
cIs have devised a method of freezing
the meat from the center 50 that the
heat is driven outward.
The apparatus consists of a hollow
steel shaped like the scabbard of a
sword, but divided internally from the
hilt to near the point by a steel parti
ton. The brine or other freezing agent
enters this from the supply pipe
through the tube to the hilt of the in
strumcnt. passes up one side to the
pcint. returns down the other, thea
passes out through the second tube to
the exhaust pipe and is returned to the
refrigerator to be recooled. Sometimes
this steel is inserted in the bones them
selves, and so reaches the center of the
meat; ard in other cases alongside the
bones. 70 withdraw the instrument
the freezing agent is cut off by triple
cock, and a warm fluid passed through
in its place, which instantly releases the
adhesion between the blade and the

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

Every farm has a place for sheep
that no other stock can fill.
In all farming it is an item to keep
the manure near the surface.
For want of sufficient moisture a tree
may starve with its roots in the midst
of plenty.
Teach the young horses to walk well
and a good foundation is laid for the
faster gaits.
Thorough gru5bing is the surest
way of getting rid Of elder. sassafras
and persinlmon.
Always keep the pillow sharp, il makes
better work and is easier for both the
team and plowman.
One advantage in using the drill or
seed sower IS that the seed will be dis
tributed more evenly.
A light daily feed of oats can nearly
always be given 10 the weaving colts
at this time with benefit.
When the tools and implements are
stored away Je sure that they are
properly cleaned and painted.
The best systems Of cropping are in
variably those which call for the
most thorough preparation of the soil.
Feeding, watering and grooming
regularly will aid materially in keep
ing the horses in good. thrifty con-
dition.-Farmers' Union.
