OvervvorkinE Young Horses.

While it is well to break the colt to
drive while it is yearling, it should
not be allowed to do any, work until it
is two years old, and then not be set to
any heavy pulling. Three years old, or,
better still, four years, is a better time,
and the younger age only for Perch
erons, or some of the breeds of heavy
draught horses. With the active, nerv-
GUS breeds there is sure to be injury
unless muscles and bones have been
fully developed and hardened before
the horse is set at hard work. Most
horses are at their best for work at six
Or seven years Of age.

CONVENIENT EGG CRATE.

Long Distance.
For one who markets his eggs to
private customers or at the stores even
the egg crate shown herewith will be
found very serviceable. It may be
made any size desired, although it is
not policy to make it too large. A dry
goods box of suitable size should be OBJ
tanned at a grocery store and then fitted
up as required, for this will render the
work much easier than attempting to
make the crate from the beginning, and

sufficient tools or material handy to

William Thomas is negro whose remark
able aim in life is to, under all circumstances,
tell only the truth. William was indicted
by the next to the last grand jury for grand
larceny, and he was brought from jail this
morning to be arraigned. Thomas has what
is termed though case,' so he agreed with
the prosecutor to plead guilty and receive
the minimum sentence-two years in the
penitentiary.
.@stand up, Thomas" said Judge Woford
Are you guilty or.not guilty?"
Judge" answered the man, with sigh,
Il do hate to tell lie, but guess I'll have
to-: I'm guilty."
ooh, you hate to tell lie, do you? I
won't let any man plead guilty if he thinks
he is innocent. You'll stand trial."
This was exactly what Williams attorney
did not want.

accustomed to court ways. He did not mean
that"

NOTES FOR BEEKEEPERS.

The bee life is longer or shorter lust
in proportion to the labor it performs.
Disturbing bees during cold weather
is one of the most disastrous things that
can be done.
Every hive should have good bot
tom board, which should be planed
smooth, and painted.
A locality plentifully supplied with
clover and Eastwood is paradise for
the beekeeper and his bees.
New combs that are pure wax and
have been used for surplus honey are
mot apt to be injured by worms.
The workers are dwarfed female bees
and so small that they never become
impregnated and do not lay eggs.
You need be seldom troubled with
swarming if all the queen cells are
taken out before they are sealed over.
Bees are the best friends of the grow
\ers of small fruits, because they fructi-
fly the flowers and cause the fruit to ma
ture.
Honey improves with age. The older
1t is the finer the flavor. Comb honey
should be kept in a moderately warm
room.
Extracted honey is much easier kept
than comb honey. The latter is liable
to get soiled and must be kept in light
. cases to exclude dust and insects.
Heat does not damage honey, but
tends to ripen and improve it, Damp
ness and darkness damage it. It should
always be kept in dry place.
Dysentery is produced by long con-
finement of bees in close hives during
cold weather. 1t may be caused also
by the bees eating impure food.-St.
Louis Republic.

will be completed about April Is. AS
soon as all the reports are received
the lands will be ordered sold at once,

reason that it is best to dispose of this

Green Food i'm EARLY spring.

All green food that appears early in
the spring is watery and also laxative,
causing "scours," or bowel disease. To
preyentsuch difficulty allowthe hens but
few minutes at first, increasing the
length of time each day. Should the
effects of the green food be noticeable,
keep the fowls up until they recover, al-
lowing enough salt in the ground grain
to season it. To keep a lot of hens on
rye very early in the spring may cause
them to become thinlin flesh and lessen
the supply of eggs. AS the green food
makes more growth, and is less watery,
it may be used more LIBERAL Farm
