Feminine Enterprise.

On June "a The Standard-Repub
published in the thriving town of Car
rollton, Ohio, issued a commercial edi-
ton. enumerating the various places of
business and the many advantages of
Carrollton. The edition is quite like all
other such publications and displayed ex-
collently the superior qualities of the
town. But almost an entire column is
devoted to a description of an enterprise
brought to a high standard by two ener-
getic and enterprising ladies and short
history of its growth will prove interest
ing. Some eight or ten years ago the
husband of Mrs. L. V. H. Baker, who
conducted small store in that place,
died, leaving her almost practically with
out the means for maintaining the bust
ness started. a quantity of goods were ev-
en- then at the depot, and in a few months
payment would be due. The goods came
from Charles Broadway Rouss, well
known to us. The lady and her sister,
Miss Corinth Harsh, wrote to him, stat
ing the situation and asking if he would
place confidence in their efforts to dis
pose of the stock With his never-failing
generosity Mr.. Rouss replied that he
would trust them implicitly and if more
goods were necessary send for them
His confidence was not misplaced. 1t
would be superfuous to go into the de-
tails OF intervening years. All that is
necessary is to say the ladies have amass-
ed comfortable fortune, possess mag
nifcent three-story brick building, and
conduct one of the leading racket stores
in that section OF the country. Mrs.
Baker would not think of purchasing
goods from anyone but Mr.. Rouss and es,
teens him as her benefactor. Whenever
she visits New York to purchase goods
she is a welcome visitor to his home
This is one instance where women's pluck
and energy have reaped rich reward.

1t is a well-known fact that man can
gradually change the habits and even
the forms of animals BY careful selection
IN breeding. There are various breeds
of cattle, sheep, horses and swine, all
coming from ancestors differing entirely
from the farm stock of the present time
There are over a hundred breeds of
poultry, and the difference between the
game bantem and the heavy, feather.
leg Cochin is so we'll marked as to make
it matter of dispute regarding their
relationship. yet both breeds came from
the same ancestors the Jungle fowls.
Success has also attended the efforts to
produce new fruits and vegetables
These facts should encourage every
farmer to improve. A number of years
ago Virginia farmer produced a va
riety of corn which yielded from five TO
seven ears on each stalk, and he secured
yield Of $50 bushels per acre, but the
corn was only adapted to his section.
There is an opening, however, for farm
ers to improve the variety of corn aud
wheat grown by them if they will care
fully select the seed from the best stalks
every year, which will sooner or later
result in greatly increased yields.

Winter Bee Disease.

One of the causes of dysentery. as the
winter bee disease is usually termed, is
disturbing them in cold weather. In
fact, it is often the case that disturbing
them in very cold weather is the most
disastrous thing that could be done, as
it causes dysentery to appear among the
bees 10 its worst form. For this reason
no one should be allowed to go among
the hives in very cold weather any more
than is strictly necessary to properly
look after them, Nor should stock be
allowed to run amoug them during the
winter for fear of disturbing them.
The disease may also appear when
the bees are closely confined for long
time. or when they are compelled to live
upon impure honey. Many good bee
keepers claim that honey from cider
mills, decayed fruit aud honey dew is
not healthy food.
If the winter is an open one, go that
the bees can Fly out aften, they will live
on this kind Of honey without injury
But if the weather is so cold and stormy
that the bees are kept closely confined,
the poor food tells, and dysentery is al
most certain to make its appearance
among them and colony badly afflict-
ed will often be hard to cure.
One of the best things that can be
doDe-in fact about the only thing that
will be of any benefits to give them
a purifying flight. Let them have a
chance for fight the first bright warm
day that comes
Feeding candy is, to some extent,
beneficial. But the best and safest plan
Is to prevent. Give good winter food,
good sealed honey. That gathered dur
ing the first of the season is always
best. Bees will bear confinement Cd
good honey and keep healthy much
longer than on bad II is easier to pre-
vent the disease by supplying healthy
conditions than to cure after the disease
once makes its appearance. -& Louis

1t is useless to attempt to raise young
chicks on cornmeal dough, as such food
is not sufficient. Very young chicks
should be fed three times day, and
millet seed should be scattered so as to
induce them to exercise in seeking the
seeds. An excellent food for young
chicks is bread. made of the following
substances: Sifted ground oats. one
pound cornmeal, one pound bran,
one-fourth pound middlings, one-fourth
pound ground meat, one pound ground
clover, one pound salt, two ounces !;
bread soda, one ounce. The bread should
be orumbled, given dry, and on clean
boards, allowing no food to remain, as
it will become sour if uneaten.
