FACTS FOR BEEKEEPERS.

The queen is the life of the colony.
Always set beehives close to the
ground.
Keep the hives we'll painted, espe-
cially the roofs.
Hives should be set with entrances
facing south or east.
Smoke is the only thing that will sub
due or control bees.
Thorough ripening of honey is more
important than color.
Do not winter bees in house unless
it is frost-proof and dark.
Put good layer of sawdust around
the hive, especially in front.
The air should always circulate be-
tween the ground and the hive.
Never smoke bees at any time more
than is necessary to quiet them.
Wind breaks on the north and west
sides of the apiary are beneficial.
Heavy canvas or duck is a good ma
terial to cover the frames in winter.
Very late swarming out is good evil
dence that the bees are starved out.
Bees Matched during the summer
months almost all die before spring.
Hives should not be set fiat on the
ground, but be raised about two inches.
1t is an advantage always to furnish
a new swarm with a frame of young
brood.
In order to insure straight combs in
empty frames comb guides must be
used.
Neither honey boards nor boards of
any kind should be placed directly in
the frames.
Some kind of absorbing material
should be placed directly over the
combs in winter.
The proper time for transferring
bees is early in the spring, when the
bees are gathering their first honey.
Roofs of hives of every kind should
have a good coat of paint every fall;
leaky roofs are very damaging-St
Louis Republic.

MEMORIES.

Ghosts OF departed better days,
Vague specters Of forgotten scenes,
Peace messengers whose presence brings
Tranquility. when twilight filings
Its purple gloom, and night convenes
Her spirits in the amber haze.
Dark-robed magicians by whose art
Forgotten forms are conjured up,
SnreWd aIchemists whose cunning hold
Turns recollection's rusts to gold,
And pours in fancy's silver cup
The dews of peace to still my heart
welcome you this lonely night,
Crowd round my chair and revel free
nor mind the storm kings fractions shout
Who holds wild carnival without,
Throw charmed mantles over me,
My restless heart with dreams delight
Haste, while the deep ming shadows steal
A-doWn the dusky path of night,
Dim harbingers Of spirit bands
VINO lure the soul TO unknown lands,
Haste, while the embers' dying light
Its mystic picture-lore reveals.
What glories in your largess seem!
What grotesque forms your magic makes,
And in the lights that come and go
Dream phantom of the Iong-ago
Its visions Of dead days awakes,
AND sets thoughts smoldering fires a.

What strange emotions thrill the heart
As each Elysian shade appears!
Sweet apparitions gliding by
AS clouds float DER a summer sky

Upon the Farm.
We often hear it depIored that so
many farmers boys and girls leave the
farm so early, but it is all in their bring
ing up, and nine times out of ten the
parents are responsible. They do not
make farm life attractive enough. They
forget that God designed every farm for
an Eden, and stalk through life as I'M
concerned to the beauties around them
as the dumb brutes under their care do.
I heard young man of % say the
other day that he wouldn't leave home
for anything-that he considered it the
prettiest spot on earth. Come to find
out, that boy never had to get up at
three o'clock in the morning and work
until sunset. He was blessed with
parents who considered their children
of more Importance than oyerwork or
money. Pleasures were furnished at
home to keep the boys out of danger.
Even Fourth of July was celebrated so
spiendidly at home that the boys had no
desire to go anywhere. Invent to one of
those farm entertainments, and there
was picnic all day in the orchard, with
swings and boat rides on the mill pond,
ice cream and fireworks. The farmer
was not a rich man. either; he only
looked out for the good and enjoyment
of his boys.
Some farmers and their wives take
time to interest their children in beau
ties around them, and set them to work
making collections of flowers, leaves
and grasses, with names written neat
1y under each. They let their children
bring MOSES and stones into the house
and form little cabinets of their own.
They encourage them to draw and paint
pictures of all the birds and insects they
see, to learn their names and become ac-

But the average farm of to-day is so
dreary and monotonous, with its end
less routine of duties, oftentimes ac-
companied with hurry and harsh words,
no wonder the young people want to
leave the farm and hunt up something
more cheerful.
There is nothing in the world so
sweet, so healthful as farm life when
carried on right, and there's love at
home" Let parents look to it that their
children are entertained, and so many

Fish farming has never been taken UP
seriously by our farmers, although
hundreds of farms have suitable water
privileges or are so constituted that
ponds could easily be made on them.
The rage for German carp which swept
the country few years ago has acted
as setback for fish farming, because
the German carp is coarse, favorless
fish, its flesh full of bones and its habits
that of buzzard, no feed being too
foul for it and no pond too muddy.
We have native fishes that are first
class for the table, and with very little
trouble they could be bred with profit.
No doubt an acre in fish could be made
more profitable than it would be put
to any other use. This is one of the in
dustries that will come later.-Farm.

There is one point of advantage in the
use of cut straw or leaves which largely
influences laying in winter, and that is
the warmth retained in the poultry
house. 1t is not that these materially
create warmth, but they keep the winds
from coming in along the floor, and as
they also absorb dampness they prevent
the settling of moisture on the walls.
Let anyone go into a stable or stall
that has four or five inches or more
of leaves on the floor, and the stall will
be found warmer and more comfortable

The past five or six years have been a

Overrun with their competitors. But
the experience has been valuable. The
result is a general tendency to return
to the production of the staples in

most satisfactory in the long run. Most
of the so-called "specialties" which
were to do so much for the average
farmer have failed to enrich him. Most
of the new crops which were so loudly
praised in the beginning have been
found no improvement over the old. But
in methods of farming, which involved

Why His Customer Couldn't Eat the
SnBn.


A certain literary German whose manner
of speaking was extremely deliberate, and
who disapproved of impetuosity OF any sort
and under any circumstances, had an anus
ing experience in a restaurant one day.
He was a well-known figure among the
patrons of this particular establishment, as
he seldom dined anywhere else, and he was
generally served by a waiter who had be-
come used to his way of speaking; but one
day new waiter took his order and brought
his soup.
"I.cannot eat this soup" said the gentle
man, slowly, not looking up from his plate.
The man seized the soup plate before the
customer could finish the sentence, and van
ished with it.
He reappeared in a moment with another
supply of the same soup, which he placed
before the gentleman, and then stood re-
garding him with an anxious face, wonder
ing what could be the reason for the soup
remaining untouched.
Il cannot eat this SOUP" again slowly re-
marked the literary man.
''Why not, sir? What is the matter?"
stammered the unhappy waiter, who had
been told he was serving an important per-
son.

genius, calmly, for the third time, because
