BEES CAPTURE A WAGON.
A Vagrant Swarm Force ThemseIvs

on an Expressman.
A tribe of yagrant bees, following the
lead of n near-sighted old queen who
had lost her bearings, swarmed about
Haswelfs drug store at the corner OF
10th and Lawrence streets yesterday
afternoon, and for awhile had the cor
ner all to themselves. The unusual
sight Of thousands of honey bees buz-
zlng around one of the busiest corners
In town soon attracted Il big crowd Of
people, who at first stood of at a re-
spectful distance and looked on. The
queen lit on the tail gate of al express
wagon, and 1t was curious to see how
quickly the bees swarmed around her
until they We're piled up a foot deep.
while hundreds of the insects buzzed
around overhead or lit on the horse, on
the sidewalk and on the clothing of the
b%ystanders. When 1t was found that
the bees were practically disposed the

out what vas the trouble. Ii was de
slrable In the interests OF the public
safety to get the bees to moye on. but
he didn't know howsto go about II, So
he had to remain on duty and walt for
developments.
Occasionally a venturesome boy
would stir up the pile OF bees, just To
see the crowd scatter. The bees would
settle on passengers In the open ears
as they stopped just before crossing
18th street. and then there would be "a
panic. Women on bicycles ran into the
cloud OF Insects before they We're ware
of their danger, and screeching at
every revolution, they scorched down
the street frantic with fear, just -
cause a few dozen harmless bees were
tickling them on the face. neck or arms.
Where the swarm came from or
where they had set out to go was. OF
course. a mystery. Some farmer
around Wheatland or Littleton is prob
ably the loser, and the owner OF the
express wagon now has a swarm OF
bees which he has no use for, but was
forced TO take home with him because
they took a fancy 10 his wagon and
would no leave IT. A young man who
said he knew all about bees attempted
TO shovel the insects into "A box with u
paper fan. They offered no resistance.
but would not stay in the box, and In
the end the expressman had TO drive
home with a halo of bees enclrcling his
head and the wagon bed half full OF
bees.-Denyer Republican.

Distribution of Labor.

1t is claimed that we have not yet
reached that stage Of progress where
an acre of land will support a COW one
year; that Is. without purchasing other
food than that grown on the land; yet
1t is done in Europe, because every
square inch of the land Is utilized and
kept up to the highest degree of fertil-
ity. 1t Is not difficult 10 make an acre
suport a cow, but ii Is not always prof
table to do so, as the labor required
to care for one COW Is as great as that
necessary for several. IL Is believed
that ffty acres can be made to profit
ably support fifty cows, however, by ju.
diclous distribution labor, but the
profits will depend on the kind OF cows.
Ii is the cost of labor that makes the
expenses so heavy and reduces the
profits.

Root Crops for Poultry.

II would not be wise 10 feed only
roots TO poultry. Yet If the farmer Will
use only one-fourth OF the grain he
gives daily and substitute cooked roots
he win reduce the expense materially
and get more eggs. The cheapest food
Is hat which viii make hens lay, and
the way TO make hens lay is TO keep
them In good health. 1t Is impossible
to have a flock In good laying condition
when only grain Is given. Such foods
as carrots, turnlps and potatoes are not
rich In reproducing elements, but
they perform a service which renders
all the food more valuable than hay.
Let the farmer give his cows nothing
but corn, and the supply of milk would
soon be reduced. From a dietary stand
point. the use of cooked roots is con
nended. and they will enable the farm
er to feed more hens and get more eggs
with little or no additional cost.-Farm

Earring and Featherinz.

We remember but one case of tarring
and feathering, and that occurred In
our youth. A man who was guilty of
inidelity to the marriage vow was seiz-
ed by some men of the town, tarred and
feathered and then forced to ride a
rail- and be ingloriously carried
through the town. Our papers make
frequent mention of this custom being
practiced in various parts of our coun-
try. English editors speak in strong
terms, no stronger than we could use
of this practice as being most barbara
Gus and cruel. And vet 1t originated
in England, from which country many
of our customs, good and bad, have
come. No less a distinguished person
age than Richard Coeur-de-Leon was
che inventor of this American barbar-
ISM" The historian Hoveden, writing
on the Archblshops OF Canterbury, tells
us, and his statements are affirmed by
Doctor Hook. that Richard, before he
sailed for the Holy Land, there to bat
tie for the Holy S%epulchre," made
laws for the regulation of the sailors
and crusaders on board his vessels, one
of which read as follows: Re It enact
ed that "A rObber who shall be convicted
of theft shall have his head cropped af-
ter the manner of a champion, and boil
ing pitch shall be poured thereon, and
then the feathers of a cushion shall be
shaken upon him, so that he may be
known, and Mt the first land ut which
the ships shall touch he shall be set on
shore" When papers speak of "tarrlng
and feathering" they should be careful
to refer to the treatment of a man n In
