the Proper Caper to Skin

Three young women who boarded North
side cable car the other day were evidently
dressed Tor a reception, and carried card
cases in their Frcnchilly gloved hands. They
attracted much attention, which was not
surprising, as they were young and would
have been handsome but for a similarity of
facial misfortune-each one mad prominent
red nose, which presented lurid and re-
markable appearance.
Fortunately for the peace of mind of the
other passengers on the car, woman-also
in gala dress-knew them well enough to ask
with great astonshment:
"oh. haven't you heard! We are going to
Mrs. HIS reception"
SO am 1. But mean what has happened
to your noses?"
Nothing; our noses are all right. But
haven't you heard about Mrs. HI"

quaintance.

her poor nose. The cards were out already
for this reception, and she felt SO badly about

decided to show their sympathy by wearing
the same kind Of nose in the reception"
oh, you sweet things. But why did you
not let all her friends know? / would have
been delighted to have got up my nose in
the same style, but suppose it is too late
now"
They left the car together, and two women
who bad been listening with lend d-me your

gasped:

Leaving M...re 4. H..,..

The only advantage we could see
from the practice Of dumping manure
in heaps was the ease with which 1t
could be done and the wagon unloaded
for another load. The manure thus
dumped is never so evenly spread as IL
can be from the wagon. To unload
caickly always have two men on the
load, spreading from each end of the
wagon. Then there will be no heaps
to lie on the ground, perhaps for
weeks. and giving the field ''patchy''
appearance in the larger growth OF
straw where the manure heaps have
lain. Often this extra large growth
rusts and yields less grain than where
the straw was smaller.

TAKING OFF HIDES.
a Few Valuable Suggestions Which
May Save You Many Dollars
in the Future.

Let us give few hints, which, if
carefully observed, may save many dol
lars in the future. In skinning beef
hides and calfskins keep the back of
the knife close to the hide, and draw
It tightly with the left hand. This is n
simple rule, but by following it the
liability to cut or score is considerably
lessened. On the foreleg the knife
should go down to the armpit, So
called, and then forward to the point
of the brisket. On the hind legs the cut
should be made from the hoof of one,
down the back of the leg, semicircular-
1y across from one to the other, and on
to the hoof. The throat should never
be cut crosswise, and the horns and
tail bones should always be removed.
The operation of sailing is equally
important. To salt hides thoroughly n
water bucket full of good salt should
be used to each 6O-pound hide, the
quantity for larger and smaller hides
being in proportion. After this they
should be rubbed and rolled up. indie
pendent of cuts and scores hides
which are not taken off in the manner
specified are classed as No. IS, and If
dried on fences or exposed to the sun
or weather are only fit for the glue
maker.
butchers skinning knife should
always be used and no employe should
be permitted to take off hides with.
out one, MS the loss from one hole in a
hide would buy several such knives.
These few rules are simple enough. but
their adoption means great deal to
the country slaughterer.-National

INSECTS IN HIVES.
A Remedy for Ants and Green Flies
That Sometimes Make Life
Burden to the Bees.

There can be no harm done by the
flies and ants, providing your bees are
in good condition and fairly strong.
Otherwise, the ants will work on the
combs and honey and become much of
an annoyance to the bees. The flies also
will thus annoy them and eat their
honey. Flies are frequently seen about
the entrances of hives in this climate,
attracted by the odor from the bees.
but are seldom seen about the hives
that are strong in bees. When the
flies are thus very numerous it is evil
dence that the colonies are not in
good condition. They are much
worse about colonies that have been
or are being robbed. They are more
troublesome also about weak col
onies-
The proper thing to dois to examine
your bees and ascertain ii they have a
queen, and have young brood in the
combs, and that they have plenty of
honey TO live on. If the queens are all
right it win pay well to feed them a
little sirup made from graduated
sugar to the amount of gill or half
a pint day, according to the strength
of the colony. This will start them
to breeding rapidly, and if continued
they will soon become strong, which
is the remedy for all bee ills. If they
are gathering honey it is not neces-
sary to feed them, but if not, it is of
much importance.
If it is the large ants-those that
make the ant-hills-I should judge
they were very annoying to the bees.
and l should destroy their nesting
place. You can readily bottle them
up Make hole in the center of
the ant-hill. and as deep as your
bottle is long, or a little deeper, so
when the bottle is set in the hole
the mouth OF it will be about an inch
below the surface of the ground. Ar
range the earth around the mouth OF
the bottle funnel shape and the ants
will do the rest. They will all go into
the bottle, and the inmates of an
ordinary ant-hill may be ohus bottled
in half an hour-kansas Farmer.

Dipping l. . Nece..ity,

The sooner sheepman realizes the
necessity of dipping the sooner he is on
the road to prosperity with sheep. The
intelligent shepherd would never al
low sheep to come on the farm with
out its being dipped at any time of the
year. A sheep that has been in stock
yards or in stock cars has run the risk
of being exposed to scab ticks and lice.
One sheep raiser recently said he never
had sheep of his own raising get
lousy, but he has often bought lambs
that were covered with the pests. This
goes to show how careless some sheep
men are, and how they may injure the
focks of the careful sheepman.-Da-
