Washington, June 21.-Almost imme-
diately after the senate convened the
resolution for the annexation of Hawaii
was laid before it. Mr.. Roach. IN. d.
who had been quoted in the Washington
papers as favorable to annexation, said
he had not made the statement attri.
buted to N-S and was opposed to an.
nexation.
Mr.. Mitchell (Wis.) delivered a speech
in opposition to annexation. He de-
clared that the nation just now was
shorn of its Judgment. The effort to
establish our government in the far
east and the adoption of policy of
Imperialism was evidence that, he
thought, the seizure of Hawaii would re-
move all doubt as to our landgrabbing
The house today concurred in the

of private land claims and to provide
for the settlement of private land claims
in certain states and territories.

AMONG THE POULTRY.

If you overfeed you will have fat

Poultry should have an abundance
of pure fresh water.
Over so hens should never be kept in
single pen. Twelve to rs is better.
Fowls do not injure orchards, but
destroy insects injurious to the trees
AS rule the hens with the largest
combs will prove to be the best layers,
The hen house should be kept clean
and successful poultry raisers know
what clean means.
| Do not put off building the poultry
house until winter. Plan it now and
build it after harvest.
| Dump a few sifted coal ashes into
the poultry yard. Ehe hens will eat
good many of the cinders.
For sca]y legs, a good enough plan
is to dip the. legs into dish of kero.

light of the hens.

Dipping Is a Necesssty.

The sooner a sheepmah realizes the
necessity of dipping the sooner he is on
the road to prosperity with sheep. The
intelligent shepherd would never al
low a sheep to come on the farm with
gu. it's being dipped at any time of the
year. A sheep that has been in stock
yards or in stock cars has run the risk
of being exposed to scab ticks and lice.
One sheep, raiser recently said he never
had sheep of his own raising get
lousy, but he has often bought lambs
that were covered with the pests. This
goes to show how careless some sheep
men are, and how they may injure the
focks of the careful sheepman.-Da-

INSECTS IN HIVES.
a Remedy for Ants and Green FFlies
That Sometimes Make Life .
$ Burden to the Bees. ,,.

There can be no harm done by the
flies and ants, providing your bees are
in good condition and fairly strong.
Otherwise, the ants will work on the
combs and honey and become much Of
an annoyance to the bees. The flies also
will thus annoy them and eat their
honey. Flies are frequently seen about
the entrances of hives in this climate,
attracted by the odor from the bees,
but are seldom seen about the hives
that are strong in bees. When the
flies are thus very numerous it is evil
dence that the colonies are not in
good condition. They are much
worse about colonies that have been
or are being robbed. They are more
troublesome also about weak col
onies. >
The proper thing to do is to examine
your bees and ascertain if they have a
queen, and have young brood in the
combs, and that they have plenty of
honey to live on. If the queens are all
right it will pay well to feed them a
little strip made from granulated
sugar to the amount of gill or half
pint day, according to the strength
of the colony. This will start them
to breeding rapidly, and if continued
they will soon become strong, which
is the remedy for all bee ills. If they
are gathering honey it is not neces-
sary to feed them, but if not, it is of
much Importance.
If it is the large ants-those that
make the ant-hills-I should judge
they were very annoying to the bees,
and I should destroy their nesting
place. You can readily "bottle them
up" Make a hole in the center OF
the ant-hill, and as deep as your
bottle is long, or little deeper, so
when the bottle is set in the hole
the mouth of it will be about an inch
below the surface of the ground. Ar
range the earth around the mouth oil
the bottle funnel shape and the ants
will do the rest. They will all go into
the bottle, and the inmates of an
ordinary ant-hill may be thus bottled
in half an hour.-Kansas Farmer.

Leaving Manure In Heap

The only advantage we could see
from the practice Of dumping manure
in heaps was the ease with which it
could be done and the wagon unloaded
for another load. The manure thus
dumped is never SO evenly spread as it
can be from the wagon. To unload
quickly always have two men on the
load, spreading from each end Of the
wagon. Then there will be no heaps
to lie on the ground, perhaps for
weeks, and giving the field "patchy''
appearance ip the larger growth Of
straw where the manure heaps have
lain. Often this extra large growth
rusts and yields less grain. than where
thu straw was smaller. N

TAKING OFF HIDES.
Few Valuable SuggestiOns Which
May Save You Many Dollars
in the Future.

Let us give few hints, which, if
carefully observed, may save many dol
lars in the future. In skinning beef
hides and calfskins keep the back of
the knife close to the hide, and draw
it tightly with the left hand. This is
simple rule, but by following it the
liability to cut or score is considerably
lessened. On the foreleg the knife
should 60 down to the armpit, So
called, and then forward to the point
of the brisket., On the hind legs the cut
should be made from the hoof of one,
Gown the back Of the leg, semicircular-
ly across from ole to the other, and on
to the hoof. The throat should never
be cut crosswise, and the horns and
tail bones should always be removed.
The operation of sailing is equally
important. To salt hides thoroughly a
water bucket full of good salt should
be used to each 60-pound hide, the
quantity for larger and smaller hides
being in proportion. After this they
should be rubbed and rolled up. indie
pendent of cuts and scores hides
which are not taken off in the manner
specified are classed as No. Is, and if
dried on fences or exposed to the sun
or weather are only fit for the glue
maker.
A butchers SHINING knife should
always be used and no employe should
be permitted to take off hides with
out one, as the loss from one hole in
hide would buy several such knives.
These few rules are simple enough, but
their adoption means a great deal to
the country slaughterer.1National

Spraying Poultry Quarters.

h The sprayer permits of giving the
poultry house thorough scrubbing
occasionally. It is done on warm,
clear day, thoroughly spraying the
walls and floor with water, using an
old broom on the floor to loosen the
dirt, and finally drenching with the
ssprayer, first removing the nests.
After this is done leave the door and
windows open and let the work be
performed early in the morning, but
not in winter, when the temperature
OF the atmosphere is below 40 de-
grees. In summer it should be done
- often as once . week. 3
