LOCATION FOR BEES.
Trees II elaine ed to BE the Ideal
Place for an Apiary.

I have decided that the ideal place
FOR an apiary is in an orchard, where
there are low-spreading trees. If the
queens wings are clipped, there will
be comparatively little climbing after
swarms. Some prefer shade-boards;
but after having tried both, for the
comfort of the apiarist and that of
the bees, decidedly prefer the shade
of low-spreading trees. Grapevines
do tolerably we'll, but they do not pro-
tect the apiarist; and at the time of
the year when the shade is most need
ed, they are sending out shoots and
branches that interfere with the hand
ling of the hive; and grapevines do
require an excessive amount of trim
ming just at the time bees need the
most attention. The colonies at our
out-yard are placed in groups of three
on the north side of the low-spreading
bass woods. 1t is a great comfort as
well as pleasure to work among
these bees compared with what it is
in the home yard of the grapevines.
Vernon Burt has his apiary in an apple
orchard, and the grass is neatly kept
down by sheep that are allowed to
run among the hives at will. The
lawn-mower does not begin to COM
pare with them. - Colman's Rural

4 Story Which Snapped the Bonds
That United Two Sweet
Young Things.

They were standing at the counter, and
couldn't help but hear.
'.Talk about hard luck" said the girl
with the hot chocolate. Il know wom-
an who had an awful thing happen to her
over in New York
ooh, do tell me about it, gurgledE the
girl with the ice cream soda.
"Well," went on the chocolate girl, 'she's.
not wealthy at all, you know, and she
doesn't keep a nurse. So, one day, when
she had to go down town shopping, she took
her baby and left it at one of these day
nursery creche places. They gave her a.
check for it, and she went off shopping. She
didn't come back to the creche till late in
the afternoon, and when she went to take
out the check it was gone"
Good gracious!' said the girl with the
ice cream soda, looking shocked. What
did she do?'
"Well," went on the chocolate girl, "they
told her she couldn't take the baby without
check, and she'd have to wait till the other
babies were taken away, and then she could
have what was left. So she waited for hours
and hours, till all the babies were gone but
one, and when she went to get that-well,
the only baby left was colored baby
ooh, how perfectly awful!'' exclaimed
the girl with the ice cream soda, in accents
of horror. what did she do? Wasn't she
perfectly frantic? My goodness, how hor-
rible! Didn't she ever get her baby back
again? should think She d have been per-
fectly crazy What did she do?'
"Oh, said the chocolate girl, coolly, "she
took the colored baby. 1t was hers. She
was colored, you know"
And in the silence which followed could
hear the swapping of the bonds of a tender
and lifelong friendship. Post.

river looking like a mere trout-brook
in the distance, the logs in it like little
sticks, and the mill like a plaything

The entrance of the cave is so low that
I had to crawl in on my hands and
knees. Inside, it is about as big as an
ordinary room, and in the middle just
high enough to let a boy stand erect,
the roof sloping down toward the
edges. But the most rema rka bic thing
about it is that roof and walls and
floor are all of jasper, beautifully mot
tied in red and yellow. There is little
doubt that it had been gradually hol-
lowed out by the Indians in ages past,
as they continually Clipped away at
this vein of bright-hued jasper to
get it's hard, sharp-edged flakes for
their arrow-heads. Indeed, | found
several of these and other stone i'm

and subsequently it was made plain
that the secret of the place, once so
valuable to the savage warriors, was
still carefully guarded with sort Of
superstitious reverence by the de-
generate remnants of the tribe.

READY TO TAKE HIS GALL.
The Surprising Offer of Bankrupt's
SOulless Creditor Mt an As
signment Meeting.

Not long ago substantial looking New
Yorker came to Chicago to engage in the re-
tail cigar business. He had seemingly good
credentials and rented an attractive little
store on the North side, buying his fixtures
on credit. On the same terms he laid in quite
large stock of goods and opened his doors
for patronage. He seemed to be doing quite
a good business and none of his numerous
creditors manifested the least alarm as to
the safety Of their accounts. Suddenly he
made an assignment. His creditors were
notified and full meeting was held in the
Office of his attorney, the sorrowtul bank
rupt not being present with them.
The attorney made polite and pacific
speech. An eastern creditor, who had Sc
cured Judgment on a fraudulent claim, had
attached and carried away everything ex
cept 27O cigars and $3.50 in money. The un.
fortunate debtor owed over So 900 to the men
present, which he would liquidate at the
earliest possible moment.
''My client suffers far more acutely than
any Of you," continued the lawyer. Gle
has surrendered all that he possesses. 1t is
not much, it is true, but trust it will serve
as an earnest of his future intentions. He
is crushed by his misfortune and would
willingly divide his body among you"
"What's that" asked a somewhat deaf
old man, supplementing his right ear With
his broad palm.
'tMy client is willing to divide his very
body among you" repeated the attorney; >r,,
".All right" responded the OLD man, lU
take his gall'!"- Chicago Chronicle.

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

Don't cultivate the corn too late,
You will cut the roots.
We would advise feeding calves from
tin or galvanized pals.
If the calf will not drink-and some
will not-starve it to it.
Overripe grass is woody, not fit for
animals. Cut when it blooms.
Cut the grass when the bloom is on
and you will preserve the aroma.
When the rains cease be sure to cul-
tivate and make the surface fine.
The preservation of good aroma in
hay makes it all the more palatable to
the animal.
Glover hay is hundred per cent
better than timothy for all purposes
in feeding stock.
It looks now as if wheat would be a
good price for the next crop. Don't
sell early if you can help it.
The only way to buy binder Irvine is
to club together and demand reduc-
ton in price. The sellers of binder
Irvine are getting rich off the farmers

1t on, securely, no serious difficulties
will be experienced. Have this part
hinged and fastened with hook, as is
shown.
Each side should be open and fitted
with wire bars placed two inches
apart, each end of these wires being
bent at right angles, driven through
the strips of wood and clinched. To
insert the food, simply raise the up
per portion or roof part, the semi-ro-
tundity of which prevents the fowls
from roosting on it. Thus the poultry
cannot get at the food with their feet
to pollute it, and, at the same time, it
is safe from any stray animals that
may come along, such as cats and
dogs, for which it is not intended
