Mysterious Movements Explained.

For several days it had been no.
ticed that some momentous care
seemed to be weighing him down.
There was apparent far westward
longing look in his nut-brown eye.
Therefore, when he failed to show
up Monday afternoon at his usual
place in the TRIBUNE office, enquiry
was promptly instituted. 1t devel-
oped that he had left home about
| 80, carrying IA small satchel. He
was traced through back streets and
alleys to the depot, and there it was
learned that he had boarded the
train with a ticket for Warren. Hop
ing that some explanation of his ac-
ton might be discovered the pockets
of his garments left behind were
searched, and in one of them was
found the proof sheet of job of print,
ing, which reads as follows:

Development of both plant and fruit.
Nature gives us all these products,

smaller details of the work.
She asks that the soil be made rich

be of good quality and carefully set

BEE NOTES.

In March every hive should be ex-
amined to see if the bees have SUI
ficient stores to carry them through
until the fruit bloom begins to fur
nish them with honey. Do not think
because they are flying during the
warm days that they are gathering
honey The loads they bring to the
hives are made up of pollen.
Never have bees shipped during the
winter season. even if the weather
should be favorable at the time of
think Of doing such a thing. The best
time to purchase bees is in early spring.
after settled weather has set in. Full
colonies of bees will cost more at that
time but they are by far the cheapest,
as all danger of wintering is past, and
the buyer will have the benefit of the
full colony the entire summer follow
ing.
A simple remedy for foul brood is to
take pure carbolic acid, one part, COM

Get a shallow tin box for each swarm,
and with an awl perforate the cover
of the box, in order to let the fumes
of the carbolic acid and tar solution
escape. Into each box put about two
tablespoonful of the mixture, and
place a box in the center of every in

Success in Farming.

Success in farming does not depend
more on the size of the farm than on
it's management. 1t matters not how
large or small a farm may be, if it is
poorly managed ii will not be a sue
cess. Management is everything. 1t
is doubtless true that large farm
properly managed will yield greater
returns than a small one, providing
there is an ample supply of capital to
back it, We take this view from the
fact that there is a greater scope for
the use of improved machinery, i'm
proved live stock, ETC., than can pos
sibly be had upon small farm. While
this may be true of a large farm, yet
a very small farm, consisting of only
few acresi (more properly garden),
situated near large city and devoted
principally to small fruits, berries and
vegetables will occasionally yield larger
returns per acre for the capital in
vested than a very large farm. In this
section of the country 40 to so acres is
considered a small farm and $50 acres
and over a large farm. Now the size
Of the farm must depend upon the man.
Some men have better nagement
than others and have the ability to
oversee large forces of men and do
business on large scale. Such men
can successfully manage large farm.
= man who likes to putter around by
himself, and who has but little eX-
ecutive ability, might do well on a
small farm but would make miSer-
able failure in trying to run a large
farm. Hence success in farming de-
Ponds less upon the size of the farm
than on it's notwithstanding S.

Honey on the Farm.

AT the farmers institute recently a
representative of THE Farmers Voice
met an aged farmer who keeps bees.
1t is so rarely that bees are found
upon the farm nowadays that inquiries
were made as tic the farmers expert
ence. He said he kept bees at all times
and always had a supply of honey for
his own table and surplus TO sell,
except in the poorest honey years. He
gets as much as so pounds of surplus
honey from a. colony, and this sells
very readily at his home for 1212c e
pound. The income from this does not
seem large, but when there are twenty
or more colonies and each of them re-
turns from So to $40 season, it adds
to the revenue of the farm and is al
most clear profit, as the labor of TAX
ing care of the bees is hardly worth
considering.
Honey will always be one of the
luxuries, and there viii never come a.
time when pure honey can not be sold
at a good price. The cities are full of
rank limitations of honey that sell at
honey prices. and anyone who is able
to furnish a supply of pure comb honey
and get it to market in good shape,
may be sure of getting from 15c to zoe
a pound for it.

HINTS TO FRUIT GROWERS.

Montana Fruit Grower: Blackberries
are a profitable fruit and may be
grown with little labor on almost
every farm.
In setting out an orchard confine
yourslf TO a few, well selected varie-
ties of each fruit; as you become ex-
perienced you can add new ones.
1t pays to set out shade trees around
the orchard to protect the trees from
storms; they also assist greatly IN
identifying the premises.
It is poor policy to depend on
single crop, failure is apt to come, and
it is most disastrous to the man who
has placed all his hopes on one crop.
Don't imagine that TO have profit
able orchard all you have to do is to
buy trees, plant them and afterwards
allow them to take their own chances
There are two dangerous extremes in
the selection of varieties for the or
chard The one is the liability of Sc
Letting too few, and the other too
many You can strike the medium II
YOU observe carefully the success OF
other people.
Every horticulturist ought by this
time to know all about the copper so
luton for fungus diseases. The usual
mixture is six pounds of copper sui
phate and four pounds OF lime 10
twenty-five gallons of water. Sprayers
are so numerous that it is difficult to
name any one that is better than
another.
Spraying has a tendency to heighten
the color of red apples and to give
blush to the light skinned sorts. This
is due largely to the effect upon the
foliage. 1t must be considered that the
foliage is the lung of the tree, and
without good. healthy foliage we can
not reasonably expect bright. healthy
looking fruit. When the foliage IS
healthy, the apples will hang longer
on the trees, giving them more time TO
mature so as TO bring them 10 the
highest state of perfection

TALLY heating the grain Lift the sack
and let it drain for a moment and dip
in tub No. ?. leaving it there from FIVE
to eight minutes, turning and kneading
the sack in the meantime, so that the
grain will be all wet. Empty the grain
on an airy floor in the sunshine or in
a draft, and let it become thoroughly
dry This is the process in it's entirety
and is very simple A supply OF hot
water must be kept on hand to replen-
ish the tubs and keep up the tempera-
ture. In tub No. 2 the water should
not get above las nor below 13S de-
greeS.
