Glover In Winter.

1--WE are sure that clover grows more
or less all through the winter, +" says
Rural New Yorker "Most of this
growth is below ground. The roots of
crimson clover in particular will make
a very perceptible growth between No
vember and March. Sod ground also re-
tains and absorbs the nitrates which are
formed in the soil during hot weather,
and left unused by the summer crops.
A large part of the waste of nitrogen in
drainage waters occurs during October
and November on bare ground. On our
own light soil, we would not pillow
good clover sod in the fall. The author
tiles do not agree as to the limit to
which clover will accumulate nitrogen.
The matter has not been fully studied
out. but on ordinary soils we are not
likely to overdo the matter of clover
seeding"

A CHINESE WEDDING.

monies Is Decked In Red.
The Chinese place a significance upon
every color, and in connection with a
wedding red obtains deep rooted,
mysterious Importance, the next bridal
color in value being gold. At b.
sweetheart pair of bracelets fastened
together with piece of red ribbon or
cord. The bride and bridegroom drain
two wine cups at the wedding, which
are also connected by red cord. In
northern China the attendants wear
tall felt hats, and each hat has red
feather stuck upright in it. The attend
ants also carry the wedding presents
A sedan chair bears the bride herself.
In south China sedan most wonder
fully gilded is used by the wealthy
classes, and it is decorated with what
appears at first sight to be brilliant in
laid stones, but which are in reality
the glossy feathers of the kingfisher. A
handsome cloth of glowing red with
trimmed border is also thrown over the
chair.
In the case OF the poorer classes red
is also the prevailing bridal color, and
a chair of ordinary carved wood, paint
ed bright red, is used. Above the door
of the chair kind of charm is plaoard-
ed or hung upon red cloth. The chair
itself is sent by the bridegroom, accom-
panied by what corresponds to our best
man. This functionary brings with him
letter written in yellow or gold upon
red paper, praying the lady to enter
and take her place.
Men dressed all in red and carrying
red parcels containing the presents fall
into the procession. Other bearers carry
! boards and banners. inscribed in golden
letters upon red ground. These ban
ners tell the pedigree of both parties.
Behind the bearers come the other at
tendants, with long poles, on which are
hung very handsome lanterns. The
BRIDES veil is of bright crimson hue
and her dress regal gold and scarlet

BEST HIVE FOR FARMERS.
Suggestions Tor Those who Keep .
Few Colonies of Bees.

Suggestions Tor Those who Keep .
Few Colonies of Bees.
In complying with request made
through The American Bee Journal for
information as to the best style Of hive
for farmer who may keep few colo
MES of bees, G. M. Doolittle, an author
ity in "beedom, says:
All depends upon how "the farmer"
intends to keep his bees and what time
he expects to spend on them. II he in
tends only to hive the swarms when
they issue and put on the surplus ar
rangement when the white clover COM
menees to bloom, paying little or no at
tention to them otherwise (Which is the
way the average farmer tends to the
bees), then | would say that the box
hive, formerly known as the miner
hive, - is as good for such one as any
hive in existence.
Why single out this hive from the
hundreds of other box hives or log gums
Of the past is that the top was SO ar
ranged that by the removal Of "honey
board'' the surplus arrangement could
be set Immediately over the combs,
thus placing no more barrier in the way
Of the bees in entering the sections than
there is with the best hive ever invent
ed, and should our farmer ever want to
sell his bees they will bring from 30
cents to 81 more per hive than they
would in any of the others on account
of the provision MI. Miner made OF
Stats standing with the knifelike edge
down, so that the bees nearly, If not
quite always, build their combs straight
and true, so that, when they come into
the possession of the practical bee mas
ter, they are easily transferred to any
of the movable frame hives.
II, on the other hand, the farmer is
willing to give the bees the attention
which they require-which is far less
than he would give one of his horses or
cows-then l would say that nothing
short of good movable frame hive will
be good enough for him. AS to which
of the frame hives Is best would say
much depends on the locality in which
we live If in the south, then the Lang
stroth, or even shallower frames will
do as well as any; but, if north of lati-
tude AZ degrees to 40 degrees, then
would prefer a deeper frame, if the
bees are to be wintered on the summer
stands OF course chaff packing will
help the shallow frame hive, but be-
heve it is something conceded by al
that deep frame is preferable for the
extreme north, where bees are to be
wintered out Of doors.
A hive which will bring the colonies
out strong in the spring is something
worth looking after where the crop o.
white honey comes early In the season
as it always does where white clover il
the chief source of supply, and the hive
which aecomplishes this item the mos
perfectly is the one the farmer, or any
other person keeping bees, should lool
after. Lots of bees In time for thu
honey harvest, without contracting thu
swarming fever, means success to thei
keeper, while few bees at that TIM
means failure, no matter how man,
there may be at all other times.

In some Wisconsin sugar beet expert
ments it was found that white beets are
richer i'll sugar and have higher CO.
efficient OF purity than red beets. Proper
culture was found to be of greater i'm
portance than the use of any particular
kind Of standard seed. 1t was observed
that in general beets grown after cere-
ais were of good quality, and that beets
following summer fallow were exoep-
tionally high in sugar content and
purity.

Precautions Against Orange Hawk
weed.

Do not grow the plant in flower gar
dens OF carry the flowers home for bou-
quets.
Do not buy hay or straw from farms
known to be infected with it.
Do not mix the hay from infected
patches with clean hay. 1t would be
better to burn the hay from infected
patches cut after the seed is mature
rather than run the risk of scattering
the seed by hauling, feeding or in ma
nure.
Agitate the necessity of destroying
patches Of weeds growing along road
sides, on abandoned or neglected farms
and on waste places in towns.
Learn to recognize the plant so as to
early detect its presence on the farm
and destroy it.

che.ne.t Lime For the Soil.

1t is impossible to state definitely for
ali locations and conditions what form
of lime is cheapest to use. According to
good authority, caustio or quick lime is
the most concentrated form and conse-
quently the most economical to handle.
On account of it's caustic properties it
is more vigorous in It's action than the
milder sulphate (gypsum) or carbonates
limestone, chalk, wood ashes, mari,
etc There may be special reasons,
however, why some of the latter forms
may be preferable. For instance, gyp-
sum. on account of its peculiar compost
tion, has been found to be a specially
valuable corrective of black alkah.

DUEL WON WITH A SHOTGUN
Texan Who Depended Upon a Re-
 VolVer Shot in inc Sire ct.

Dallas, Tex, Dec. 30.-Henry Hunt was killed this evening by Thomas Purvis as he was standing in the door way of a saloon at 1O9 Ashland avenue
 Hunts head was nearly severed from his shoulders by a charge of buckshot fired at close range. He had pistol ready to shoot Purvis, but was not quick enough to get in a shot. Purvis is in jail.
 Hunt had been drinking heavily, and Purvis claims had threatened to kill him and also had used violent language to Mrs. PuTvis.
 This has been the bloodieSt and most exciting day Dallas has known for years. There have been scores of drunken brawls, a race riot, three kill ings and numerous stabbings. A dozen or more fires resulted from indiscrimi- nate use of fireworks, but the aggregate loss has not been heavy.

The United States Will No Doubt Be Com peIled to Promise to Build the NC- aragua Canal and Maintain
 Absolute Control of 1t.

Washington, Dec. 30.-The an nouncement that the governments of Great Britain and the United States have begun negotiations for the aoro- gation of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty is premature Formal negotiations will not begin, according to semi-official assurances given in Washington to- day, until the president can assure Lord Salisbury that congress will pass a bIll by which this government guar antees the construction of the Mica Taguan canal. The British government has not forgotted the action of the sen- ate in refusing to ratify the treaty of arbitration, in the negotiations of which England went to unusual lengths to show her good feeling for the United States. That action and the debate which preceded it caused a good deal of bitterness in England at the time, and have left an impression which leads that government to be cautious in committing itself automatically in advance of reliable information as to how congress is likely to act
 It is true, however, that entirely in- formal assurances have been received by this government to the effect that Great Britain would be willing to ne gotiate for the abrogation of the treaty provided the construction of the canal across the isthmuS will he guaranteed by the United States and there is also little doubt that the former govern ment would agree to the abrogauon

MRS. BURNETT IN JAIL
Arrested for PerIury in Her TeSti-
 mOnY in Behalf Of John Collins.

Topeka, Dec. 3O.-Mrs. Mary Burnett was arrested this afternoon on a war rant from Justice of the Peace McClin- tock's court, charging her with per jury. Her bond was placed at $2,000, which she was unable to give, and she is now in the county jail
 In company with a strange man, Mrs. Burnett attempted to elude the officers by driving out of town in a buggy. Af- ter being chased for more than a mile she was overtaken and brought back to the city. Her preliminary hearing will take place in a few days.
 Mrs. Burnett testified in the Collins trial that she had seen a man on the roof of the Collins house early on the morning of the murder. This testi- mony was corroborated by Ella Blu chanan, colored woman. who claimed to have been with Mrs. Burnett. The next day the Buchanan woman again took the stand and swore that she had perjured herself, and that Mrs Burnett had promised to reward her generously for doing so.
