A special to the Times-Democrat
from Monroe says the war will have a
serious effect upon the building OF
the Monroe and Natchitoches rail-
read. Marcus Bernheimer, the St.
Louis promoter who was to furnish
most OF the capital, arrived a few days
gro aatl met tie Board OF Direc-
tors. He told them that while all
details had been arranged for the
financial backing of the enterprise
the war with Spain had alarmed capi-
talists and they were not at present
willing to put their money In railroad
construction. This being the fact
he said it would be necessary to delay
the work. When the war ended
there would be no difficulty in getting
all the money needed. The direc'
tors will therefore for the present
snls do such work as will be required
70 hold their franchise.

of the British forces, at dinner
party, drew parallel between Cuba
and Crete, saying: "While Eng
land interfered in Crete on moral
grounds the United States has both
moral and material justification for
Intervention. l believe the quality
of the American army and navy is so
much superior to Spain's that the
Americans viii have no difficulty in
defeating Spain's ships and land
forces, which are their equals OF
superiors on paper only"

MANAGEMENT OF BEES.
Anyone May Succeed with Them by
Taking Advantage of Their
Weak Points.

Scarcely anyone is incapable of
handling and controlling bees. It is
simply mistaken idea of some people
that bees have a special dislike for
them and that only certain individuals
can handle bees, says A. HI. Duff in the
Epitomist. 1t is only necessary to
know how to handle bees for anyone
t. succeed with them. To handle bees
properly it is not necessary to go to
war with them, but absolutely wrong.
II we should undertake to fight col
ony Of bees into subsection the fight
would continue until the last bee of
the hive was dead, providing we held
out that long ourselves.
Bees can only be handled success
fully by kind treatment and by study
ing their habits and becoming well
informed of their nature and mode of
doing things. Anyone may succeed
with them by taking advantage of
their weak points. Smoke is the con-
trolling agent to be adopted in hand
ling bees. By smoking bees they be-
come excited and will at once proceed
20 fill themselves with honey, and
when thus filled are perfectly peace
able and will allow themselves to be
abused, robbed and even killed with
out offering any resistance. The Cy-
prian bees are the only ones I ever
had that at times would resist smoke,
and in order to handle them l have
used simply kind treatment and care
full manipulation and fully succeeded.
IF we but take the time we may handle
any colony of bees without the aid
OF smoke by careful manipulation if
we get well acquainted with their ma
ture and habits.
1t you are afraid of bees you will not
get along with them very well, and the
greater fear the less success you will
have. The fear of bee stings keeps
many from engaging in bee culture.
This reason to the practical apiarist
appears very foolish indeed. You may
say that bees sting persons whether
they are afraid of them or not This
may be trle to some extent, but am
satisfied that fear causes almost 90
per cent. of all stings received. Bees
seem to dislike all rapid-moving OBJ
jects. You may walk slowly through
the apiary and not bee will modest
you, but, On the other hand, if you
pass rapidly among them some of the
bees are likely to follow you, and
hence your actions have much to do
with it.

SELECTION OF CATTLE.
ATask That Requires Rare Judgment,
to Say Nothing of Years of
Experience.

Perhaps never before in the history
of Canada has there been such a de-
mand for stockers as during the last
year. While American buyers have
taken large numbers to consume their
enormous corn crops, Canadian farm
ers, as they are learning the art of
producing cheap feed in the form Of
ensilage and the like, are, more than
formerly, anxious to secure thrifty
consumers of the same. In the last
year or two, many have bought stock
ers for the, first time, and some, at
least, have learned lessons upon selec-
ton of feeders that, while expensive
at first, may prove profitable in the
end. The great increase in dairying
has led to the more general use of
dairJ-bred bulls, and from these hun

Of course it was because Jacob Nuzen-

The comrades believe in the principle of
"staying by their friends" Having used
the MINNEAPoLIs & ST. LOUIS R. R. for
several years in attending annual encamp-
ments, and always finding them obliging
and courteous as well as redeeming every
promise given in regard to superior train
line has been again selected as the most de-
sireable route.
The HEADQUARTERS SPECIAL TRAIN to
Cincinnati will leave Minneapolis & st.
Louis Stations on Sept Sd, as follows:
st. Paul 7:30 p. M, Minneapolis 500 p. No.,
Waterville 10:10 p. M, Waseca 1920 p. M,
arriving at Cincinnati Sunday Evening,
Sept. 4th.
The train will consist of chair car (seats
free), smoker, tourist cars (berths 81 so,
large enough for two persons,) and Palace
sleepers (berths $500, large enough for
two) The rate is 81. so from st. Paul and
Minneapolis, and correspondingly low from
other points. Tickets will be on sale Sept.
8, 4, 5, good returning from Cincinnati up
to Sept, 18th, and may be extended to Oct.
I'd, on payment of 25 cents at Office of
Joint Agent Department Commander
Mortimer will have charge of the train, in
surfing all comrades the best Of attention.
Rates by The MINNEAPOLIS & ST. LOUIS
OFFICIAL ROUTE will be as low as any, and
the accommodations superior. An attrac
tive feature is the diverse route going via
Peoria and returning via Chicago. For

test of the butcher. So that if some
of US have, perchance, remodeled our
stables with the idea of feeding steers,
and after a winters feeding are almost
ready to proclaim that there is mo

cause and see whether or not we have
given the matter fair trial in the
character of animals fed; and before
giving up, if it is necessary to pur-
