Turkish Girls.

Turkish girls of the better!cIass in
the cities, after they are too old to at
tend the primary schools, are largely
educated st home by governesses,
many Of whom come from England and
France, but. unfortunately, do not al
ways represent the highest culture of
these nations, so that the real love of
study is not as a rule, developed I'M
der their influence. Turkish women
have a great aptitude for foreign Ian
guages, and those met on the steamers
of the Bosphorus often speak French,
and it is not unusual for them to
speak German and English also.
It is a well-known fact that many
Turkish women are engaged in trade,
some e carrying on an extensive
business, involving frequent journeys
to Egypt and other places, which pre-
supposes the ability to read and write,
as we'll as some knowledge Of arithne-
tic. Moreover, conversation with the
Mussulman woman in the capital re-
veals some progress at the present
time in independence Of thought, and,
while social conditions have unavoida-
bly, arrested the development Of Tur-
kish women as q class, forces are
slowly but surely working among them
that will result in their final emancipa-
ton.

Care of Bees in Winter.

If the bees are properly placed in
winter quarters, which should be done
before winter is on, there is but little
to do during the winter. AS a matter
Of fact, no meddling with bees in any
way must be done in cold weather,
and the only time we a work with
them in safety is during a warm day
when they are flying. If bees get a
good fly once a month they are likely
to keep in good condition, but if cold
weather continues along for weeks and
months without any let-up, the bees
ire not in any way protected.
Bees wintered out in thin hives, as
\ matter Of necessity, must draw
heavily on their stores to keep the re-
auired amount of animal heat, and
with such in every case, they must
have frequent flights, or dysentery re-
suits, and the loss of such colonies
follows.
Those that are we'll protected can
withstand much more cold and do not
become affected thus, and are in con-
dition to bear much longer confne-
ment. Tt is impossible to accomplish
anything in the way of remedies when
they become thus affected, and only
warm weather SO that they can fly
freely will cure it.
All stock of every kind should be
excluded from about hives in winter,
and the hives should not sit near a
roadway, or near a railroad. Heavy
losses of bees have been reported
where they have been kept close to q
railroad by the frequent jarring of the
hives, thus arousing the bees to activi-
ty, which always results in their con
Stunning stores heavily, and this. con-
nected with long confinement On nc
count Of cold weather, is sure to result
in disease.
Good, healthy stores have much to do
with wintering also, as some varieties
of honey are not as good as others.
The condition of the. honey in the
hive has much to do with the health
fulness of the bees. A large amount
of unsealed stores is very damaging in
winter. This is true from the fact
that the moisture that arises from the
bees in cold weather eontaminates the
honey in the open cells, thereby
rendering it unhealthy. Hence it is Of
importance that all the honey is sealed
in the combs, or at least all reserve
stores. Bees need good attention in
early spring, as they are then breeding
rapidly as they possibly can, or that
their condition will let them, and very
frequently they become short of stores,
and a little timely feeding will save

The Ripn!e Collar.

The newest collar is the n known
as ''ripple,' which really does not
ripple any more than those oflast year.
Il differs from the old collar in that it
fits snugger to the neck, ant, yet has
the same effect Of tiarinS whic. it had.
II the collar flares too much i9loses in
warmth, and yet it is the fare which
Is becoming to most faces. An ingen-
ious maker offur garments has ,bviated
this difficulty by making the collar
slightly more flaring, and then catch
ing it in plaits about two inches wide
nt regular intervals. The plait is not
evident except upon close inspection,
and yet the collar has the effect of be-
ing extremely full, at the same time
standing up snug and trim around the
neck so as hardly to require fastening
in front.

A Curious Forest.

The most extraordinary forest in
the world is one discovered by DR..
Welwitsch, which occupies a lakeland
some six miles broad, at a height of
800 feet or 400 feet above the sea, near
the west coast of Africa. The trunks
of the trees of this peculiar forest are
four feet in diameter, and yet taey
only attain a height of one foot, Civ
ing the tree the appearance of around
table. There are never more than
two leaves, which attain a length of
six feet and q breadth of two feet,
the flowers forming crimson clusters.

dropping Orchards.

"hlle taking a short trip through
Our County a few weeks since, I no
tlced @ bearing orchard planted to
corn, and [ set the owner down at
once as q man who did not attend our
tfult Institutes or horticultural meet
lngs, or he would have known better
and escaped the consequences.s
The corn was shaded and therefore
slckly and slender looking, and as we
had been having an extended spell of
dry weather, both corn and orchard
showed the effect. We are glad that
such instances a>e rare, and that the
majority OF the fruit-growers of Oceana
CountNare intelligent men, men who
are earnestly STRIVING to learn and
adopt all the best methods for success
tul fruit culture. Yet there are those
who think there is no harm in crop
ping a young orchard from one to two,
three and ever four years; and often
the crop has little reference to the
good of the trees.
Our most successful fruit growers
say that after two years neither crop
aor orchard will pay. The first one
Or two years the tree occupies but
little space and the ground may be
planted, but it is advised to plant to
potatoes, melons, squashes or some
like crop that will not shade the trees.
After three OF four years the roots of
the trees occupy fully twenty feet
space and no other crop should oc-
cupy the ground. One must know
something of the roots, their manner
Of growth, ETC., to cultivate success
FULLY. Yet different soils admit Of
different care.
Careful study and observations are
necessary, to be successful in the
orchard; and once in q while a good
lesson is learned from experience.
We had one such lesson and that one
was enough. 1t was in the early days
of fruit growing, that, being short of
ground to crop, oats were sown in the
plum orchard. The trees blossomed
full, and until midsummer hung full
Of plums; but an extended drouth
coming on, the plums, many of them,
after a little time commenced to shrivel
up and drop of-none of them color
ing up as usual. In fact, the crop
was almost a complete failure, while
of the trees died outright; but
it taught us q lesson-there have been
no oats in the orchard since.
What is taken from the soil Of O
bearing orchard will just as surely be
deducted from the profits. -Jennie
