The Innocence Of childhood.

house it was arranged that the children
should present an original play, to be
entirely written and acted by them.

won much praise but for the ending.
This was the story of the play:
A gallant knight joined the brave
King Richard in one of his crusades in
Palestine. Nothing having been heard
from him for more than seven years, the
conviction was forced ON his faithful
wife that he was dead. The villain came
to her and wanted her to marry him.
but at the critical moment the knight
reappeared and clasped in his arms his
lady, who had never ceased to love him.
Then explanations came. and be told Of

Valuable Record.

When the furniture Of Charles James
Fox, the famous English orator and
statesman, was sold by auction, there
was among the books copy of the first
volume of Gibbons Roman history.
1t appeared by the title page that the
book had been presented by the author
to Fox, but no considerations of senti-
ment deferred the recipient from writ
ing on the fly leaf this anecdote:
"The author at Brookes' said there
was no salvation for this country until
six heads of the principal persons in adj
ministration were laid on the table
Eleven days after this same gentleman
accepted place of lord of trade, under
those very ministers, and has acted with
them ever since.
Such was the avidity of bidders anx-
ious to secure the least scrap Of the writ
ing and composition of the famous own
er of the copy that owing to the addi-
tion Of this little record the book sold
for guineas, large sum for the times.

BEST HIVE FOR FARMERS.
su@gcstions For Those who Keep y

Suggestions For THOSE VINO Keep y
Few Colonies of Gees
In complying with a 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. q. M. Doolittle, an author.
lty in "beedom, says
All depends upon how the farmer
intends to keep his bees and what time
he expects to spend on them. If he in
tends only to hive the swarms when
they issue and put on the surplus ar
rangement when the white clover COM
mences 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 theremoval 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 80
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 knifeIike 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.
If, 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 we'll as any; but, if north of lati-
tude AZ degrees to 10 degrees, then |
would prefer 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-
lieve it is something conceded by all
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 of
white honey comes early in the season,
as it always does where white clover is
the chief source of supply, and the hive
which accomplishes this item the most
perfectly is the one the farmer, or any
other person keeping bees, should look
after. Lots of bees in time for the
honey harvest, without contracting the
swarming fever, means success to their
keeper, while few bees at that time
means failure no matter how many
there may be at all other times.

The Rich Plum That He Extracted
From That Christmas Pie.
For the benefit of those who are not

Lippinoott's Magazine, tells the origin
and history of some famous nursery

in the Bodleian library.
1t appears that this worthy was stew

because the monks had built kitchen

But Master Jack had an eye for the

slyly lifted the crust and distracted the
deeds of the Manor of Wells. On his
return, bringing the deeds, he plausibly
explained that they had been given tC

Cheapest Lime For the soil

1t is impossible to state definitely for
all locations and conditions what form
of lime is cheapest to use. According to
good authority, caustic or quick lime is
the most concentrated form and conse-
quently the most economical to handle.
On account of its caustic properties it
is more vigorous in it's action than the
milder sulphate (gypsum) or oarbonates
rhinestone, 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 alkali.

handsome cloth Of glowing red with

chair.
In the case of the poorer classes red

MAKING MILK.
EAnch Depends Upon the People who
own the Cows.

OHFn tine COttoe
!. The man who owns the COWS, says
Hoard's Dairyman, is the one who
makes the milk. lie can make little or
much of it. He can make it clean or
dirty, cheap or expensive. In tact, he
can vary the milk to suit himself. The
COW is only complicated apparatus in
which he burns his various folders and
out of which he obtains his finished
product in the shape of milk. Like all
other machines, the COW is subject to
the laws of thermodynamics. She must
use a certain amount of her fodder to
keep the vital machinery in motion.
This includes the keeping of the animal
heat at the right point, the circulation
of the blood, the digestion of food, the
elaboration of milk and all the other
vital actions which go to make up the
life of the animal.
Experiments have shown that it re-
quires is pounds of dry organic matter
to keep this machinery in motion--that
is, to keep the animal alive and in
health. From the rest of the food given
above that weight the dairyman may
expect greater or less returns in the
form of milk. Here comes the first
point. Now, how much fodder does it
take to keep that COW? Sixteen pounds
or 20 pounds? There is wide margin
here-all the difference between profit
and loss. Ask the COW and see what she
says. If she is using twice as much
fodder as she ought to to keep her ma
chine in motion, then she is not profit
able animal. If she cannot use the OK
cess of feed given her over her mainte-
nance ration to produce profitable
amount of butter fat, she is not worth
keeping and should be disposed of as
soon as possible
No dairyman can afford. under pres
ent conditions. or even under any con-
ditions to keep animals that eat food
that they cannot return a greater value
for the milk pail. If he does keep such
animals, his progress down the finan-
cial hill is neither slow nor comforta-
BILE. His life is one long struggle against
conditions that he might change if be
only would. There are many roads that
lead to loss of profit on the farm. but
the broadcast, smoothest road with the
steepest downward pitch is the one
travelled by the Improbable cow.

Use Much MILK.

AS is we'll known, milk is an impor-
tant factor in the manufacture of cara
mels. Two years ago the farmers around
Bloomington kept only enough cows to
supply themselves and sometimes a
family or two besides. The caramel
company seems to have changed all
this. Many farmers now realize that it
is the byproducts that afford the great
est profit. Besides the fertilizers obtain
ed from the keeping of cows. the profit
from the sale of the milk has already
paid more than the sole raising of corn
or oats. = Bloomington (Ills.) Panta-
