THE FARMING WORLD,
HINTS FOR BEGINNERS,
dvic to n Reader Who Wants
Start in R~eekeenfn1

Advice to a Reader Who Want, n
Start in Bookkeeping.
To make a good beginning is always
encouraging. 1 would advise, says a
writer in American Gardening, not to
start with too many colonies, say about
three good strong ones. We generally
succeed better after some experience,
and it is economical to gain that before
investing a large mount in a new en-
terprise. If there is a successful
apiarist in your vicinity, by all means
visit him and secure his advice. As a
rule, beekeepers are very generous and
V no secrets of the trade" to hide
from their fellow men. If possible, it
is best to purchase from n neighbor
aplarlst, but very often that cannC1 be
done. "A Reader does not state, but
possibly the only bees to be fund in
his neighborhood are in box hives. If
so, purchase, and move some colonies
to your place early in the spring, as
soon as the bees can fly every day. 1t
Is best to move them at night, or early
in the morning, before they begin to
ny. Don't close the hive too tight while
moving. Bees must have plenty of air
to breathe. Use wire screen to close
h hive for moving. When you get
them home place them where you wish
TO have them permanently, set up a
board against the front of the entrance
and when the bees come ont they will
notice the hive and none will be lost.
1t is folly to purchase anything but
roaring strong colonies. 1t is a waste
of time tC fuss around with weak col
onies. If you have any choice of hives
take the largest, as that is likely to give
you the most bees, brood and comb. and
you will later see that a large comb
is preferable to n small one or to two
small ones. 1t is best not to move bees
in winter when cold. as they will break
the cluster, and often many die from
the shock and excitement. and some
times the whole colony will perish. The
bees should have a good fight 500 aft
er they are moved. The colonies should
be heavy, as that indicates Il lot of
honey; we don't want TO reed if it can
be avoided, as that might induce rob-
bling.

Fourteen Were Hanged.

During the administration of Gov

fourteen executions have taken place,
and the sentence of capital punish
ment was commuted in twelve cases
to Imprisonment for life. Two prison

execution. Two murderers are now

In 1895 there were six executions

Saint Peter, as he hears a rap on
the gate of the celestial city.
"Who is there ?"
"Major Mckinley. recently Presi-
dent of the United States of America"
"Tm very sorry to say Major" re-
piled St. Peter, as he turned to the
Book of Life, "but your name was
erased while you were President"
"Why, what have l done ? Have
not been charitable and tried to
govern my people with justice ?"
"True. 1t is for what you did not
do. Major, just look across that vale
while hold the veil to one side and
tell me what you see."

number of people composed of chill

that they look like grinning skeletons. ="
"Those people," replied St. Peter

while you were President. More than
100000 of them perished. They
prayed to you, the chief OF a powerful
nation, for assistance as they looked
across the water to the land of liberty.
Their cry reached your ears. Nay it
extended to the remotest part of
heaven. You would not allow your
people to help them. Neither would
you permit another nation to help
them. Are you not, l leave it to
yourself, morally responsible for the
untimely and horrible death of these
people ? But Major, before you go
below, l desire to show you this crown.

Dingley's January Deficit.

There is not much encouragement
for Dingley in the Treasury statement
for January. This was the month for
paying the quarterly interest on Gov
ernment bonds and something of
deficit was to be expected. But the
actual excess of expenditures over
receipts, after deducting the amounts
received from the purchasers of the
Union Pacific railroad, was $7,eoI,-
4S4, or nearly $8,ooo,ooo. The
receipts from all sources were $28,-
795,225, of which not quite halt, or
$I4,269,492, was derived from Gus
toms. This was a gain of about 3,ooo,-
900, as compared with January oflast
year, for which the revival of general
business is responsible. 1t is fortunate
for Dingley and the Administration
that the internal revenue receipts are
increasing, showing gain of over
$1,3oo,ooo in January. 1t has been
the expectation of the Republican
statisticians that there would be
small deficit in January, but surplus
in both February and March, so that
the present quarter. would show net
surplus. But deficit of $o,ooo,ooo
to start with makes this result impro-
bable. Tie Dingley law went into
effect July 24th. The deficit for the
present fiscal year, July Ist, is now
$5I,9oI,S23. The expenditures since
that date have been $239,ooo,ooo of
which nearly $s9,ooo,ooo was paid
out in pensions. These figures speak
for hemselves.-Er.

A Mighty Agency for Good.

A warm welcome was accorded to
the aged commander-in- chief of the
Salvation Army at Pittsburg recently.
General Booth is one of the most dis
tinguished men of his time and the
work that he has done has been one
of the most conspicuous features of
this generation. He had labored hard
and zealously for the uplifting of
humanity and what he has done has
not been without benef fetal results.
He is styled general" but his char
acter is far from being of warllke
nature. His ways have always been
those of peace and in that line he has
won distinguished victories. There is
certainly difference OF opinion as to
the advisability of the way that the
Salvation Army does its work, but
there can be no two opinions as to
the kindly manner in which it aims at
what it considers the benefting of
humanity. General Booth has met
with many obstacles In his work. His
labors and those of his disciples have
met with much opposition, but they
have not become discouraged thereby,
but are still pushing onward in spite
OF all distractions.
Their determination is invincible.
and the methods which they take to
surmount opposition to them are of a
very effective character. What they
have accomplished has made the fact
evident that. peaceful means are some
times the best to accomplish purpose,
let it be what it may. 1t is an inter
esting work which General Booth has
been engaged in now for many years.
He has believed in calling not the
just but the vilest sinners to repent
ance, and has acted accordingly
