exercise. In finishing off fat hog
nothing is ahead Of corn and pure
water.
Give plenty of room in sleeping
quarters and teach young pigs to eat
early. March and April filters are
best. Keep salt and charcoal by them
at all times. The growing of frame
for the first six months and the keep
ing of equal-sized pigs together must
be looked to. 1t requires intelligence
of the highest order, after the ideal
hog is secured, to keep it, and not al

The CAST OF a DIE.

According to Antiquarians.

fhis Form of Gambling as Old as Man,
According to Antiquarians.
II has long been known that the
method OF deciding a wager by the cast
If a die Is OF great antiquity. Aborig-
nal tribes in almost all of the divi-
lions of the earth were accustomed to
gamble with dice. Antiquarians have
'ound these implements in their explo-
.ations i'm the mounds, etc, which mark
nearly every portion of the habitable
globe. Now it has been demonstrated
hat the ancient Britons were addicted
o this habit and that they priced their
lice boxes and dice very highly. A
number of other curious relies were
picked up in some recent explorations
the lake dwellings in Glastonbury.
From the remains of animals and
rom shells found In these lake dwell
ngs it is concluded that these ancient
Britons. whoever they were, lived on
oysters, oxen. horses, sheep, deer, dogs.
,ats, beavers and swine, which is not a
bad variety for mixed meat diet. They
also had quern stones for grinding
wheat They also had spindle whorls
If stone for making bread, needles
made of bone and combs made of horn.
A dice box was apparently one OF
heir most precious treasures, for one
Of these was found carved out of deer

As If 10 make sure that there was no
mistake about the use to which this
instrument was to be put the dice them
selves were found inside of 1t. No
'oins, however, were found. though
some small crucibles which it is con-
iectured were used for melting gold
were discovered. The first skull found
was that of a young man who had evil
lently been decapitated, for 1t was
stuck on the top of pole The second
skull found was that of an old man
who had evidently led rough life for
numerous healed-up scars on his skull
pore eloquent testimony to this fact.
The general belief of antiquarians is
hat the owners of these two skulls
were killed in the last fight of the lake
twellers, and this theory is borne out
" the finding of numerous sings, with
lard baked earth the size of walnuts
as ammunition, while only one iron
spear was found. 1t is supposed that
he lake jewellers had only sings, while
heir adversaries had spears and also
probably bows and arrows-Chicago

When bees quit swan ming for the
season they will notify you by dispos.
ing Of their drones.
The proper time to transfer bees
from box-hives to movable frames is in
early spring, as later the combs be-
come heavy with brood and honey.
In early spring the brood should oo-
cupy the center combs, and the combs
containing brood should be in a com.
pact body and not scattered here and
there through the hives.
The beginner, when he takes off his
first set Of section, we'll filed with
nice comb honey, enters into a stage
OF the bee fever that remains with him
the balance of his natural life.
No drones are reared in a colony
until the colony becomes very strong
and the combs we'll filled with worker
brood. When bees build their comb
IN the natural way an excess of drones
is usually produced.
The life OF bees during the working
season is very short, and it requires a
good laying queen to keep up the force
OF bees in the hive to produce the best
results. Hence this is a point Of the
greatest Importance.
Leaky covers to hives is very damag
ing to bees, and should be promptly
mended. 1t is not necessary to place
ROOF over hives, but the hive cover
proper should be made to ft we'll and
OF good material well painted. and a
new coat Of paint added every year.
To produce large crop of honey.
bees should not be allowed to swarm
but should be kept together and given
all the room they need to store honey.
II bees are given plenty of storage
room they are not SO liable to swarm.
They usually swarm on account of
limited space.
