If he wants to be free, we'll man again.
If dyspepsia and biliousness or constipa-
ton is the way he got into disease, he has
got to overcome just those troubles before
he can get out.
The majority of diseases begin with some
trouble of the digestive organs or of the
liver, which prevents the supply of proper
nourishment to the system. The best
remedy for these trorkles is DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, because it gives
the digestive and blood making organs
power to assimi1ate food and transform it
into pure, nourishing blood, vitalized with
an abundance of red corpuscles.
1t acts directly upon the liver and gives
it capacity to filter all bilious impurities
out of the circulation. 1t builds up solid,
muscular flesh and healthy nerve force.
In obstinate constipation the Discov-
cry" should be used in conjunction with
DR. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. the most nat
ural and thoroughly scientific laxative ever
devised. The :" Pellets - regulate and in
vigorate the stomach, liver and bowels.
One is gentle laxative two act as a mild
cathartic.

He seemed to get worse all the while,
however, and the disease finally resulted
in curvature of the spine, making him
utterly helpless.
"The bad sores on his neck increased
in size, and were a source of constant
pain. He was in this pitiful condition
for two years, when some one recon-
mended S.S.S., stating that it had cured
some of the worst cases of blood diseases.
As soon as his system was under the ef-
feet of the medicine, the sores began to
get better, and in eight days were COM
p1ete1y healed. Before long he could
walk on clutches, and was improving
every day. In three months he threw
aside his clutches, for he had no further
use for them; the dreadful disease had
been eliminated entirely from his sys-
tenn, and he was restored to perfect
health. The cure was a permanent one,
as no sign of the disease has returned
for ten years."

APPLYING Manu- re.

On the subject of applying ma
nure, would say that where work
land is in pasture, as a means of
rotation, this is the finest place in
the world to put manure of all kinds
and at all seasons of the year. One
advantage in this is that all through
corn blowing and so on manure can
be hauled on wet days, when, if it
must go on work land, it must wait
until the crop is off. Next comes
meadow land that is to be plowed
up in the Fall or Spring for corn.
After that comes the pillow land, but
wherever it is put be systematic in
applying it, so that no ground will
be gone over twice until all has been
covered nce.--COr. IONA Homestead.

for the statement that it costs the

saving that would result in any

FOR THE FARMER.
Notes FOR Beekeepers.

The most prolific queens are not
always the best.
Stimulative feeding for the first
bloom should usually commence in
Winter.
Queen cells are sometimes built
on the face of the comb and are
not discovered.
If the hives are on the Summer
stand see that the entrances do not
get closed in with dead bees.
Placing the hives in pairs is bet
ter than in long rows, as side OF
each hive can be readily reached.
Most beekeepers agree that il
pays to get the sections as nearly
filled with foundation as possible.
Valuable queens may often be
preserved by lifting out the comb
containing bees and putting it in a
hive by itself.
1t is we'll to remember that you
cannot get comb honey without
bees, nor can you get the best quail
ity of it without good hives.
Sometimes it turns very cold sud
denly and catches the bees scattered
over the combs, and they freeze to
death. Then when it turns warm
the bees carry them out to the en-
trance.
If you clip the larger wings on
one side it prevents the queen from
flying as much as if two were clip
ped, and the queen looks better,
while if necessary it will be posi-
BILE to catch her by her other wing.
You can tell by watching the
bees whether or not they have pa
ralysis. Some of them will crawl
out on the alighting board, shake.
tremble and stagger about and final
ly turn on their backs, swell up and
die.
II should be remembered that
you can never unite a colony that
has a virgin queen with colony in
a normal condition. No matter
what precautions are taken, the last
bee of one party will be killed be-
fore the fight ends.
TO combine the Matching brood
and candy plan OF introducing a
queen, make a hole near one corner
of the cage, stop it with cork I'M
til the queen would be received,
pull out the cork, fill up the hole
with candy and let the bees release
her.
In feeding in the Spring to slim
ulate brood rearing, as general
rule, it is not good plan to com
mence much before first blooming,
for if the feeding is commenced it
will be necessary to keep it up un-
til there is some to be had from the
fields.
There is no need of feeding rich
colony. The better plan is to un-
cap a few of the honey cells to in
duce the queen TO feed, as she will
be sure to do if the bees are at work.
and in handling the honey they Of.
fer it to her, and, being better fed,
she lays more.
Drones from layer workers are
defective in their procreating pow
ers. So, also, are drones from un-
impregnated queens, if reared in
drone cells they have the power of
flight, vigor and capacity to fertilize
the queens. But the unfertilized
queens cannot be depended upon
for drones.
