Sellin e Turkeys.

When the penurious breeder Of in
ferior stock, improperly fatted or dis
figured in plucking, places his turks on
the scales, with many apologies, his
stock is also used as an object lesson.
The dealers remarks, though less
agreeable, are no less emphatic In
some cases the whole lot must be re-
sorted, the old stock picked out from
the young, before they can be weighed.
Sometimes the dealer tells the grower
that If he does not have better stock
next year he need not expect to sell it
to him. In some cases the stock is re-
fused at any price. In this way the
dealers bring up the quality Of the
stock raised and maintain the reputa-
ton 1of the turkey product of the To-
cality. As the turkeys are received,
they are laid on sheets spread on the
shipping house floor. Previous to be-
ing packed in the paper lined boxes for
shipment, they are carefully examined
to see that all are sweet or freshly
killed., and at the same time all blood
spots are washed off. An even num-
Der of hens and toms are usually put
in each package. Cushman.

safe wintering, and preparations should
begin early in the season. One of the
most essential things is plenty of good
honey as free from pollen as possible.

or some form Of mural decoration.
One Of the latest of these has been
given to the world by the celebrated
artist, Muyille, in series OF four

Pheasant, American Quail and English
Snipe. They are handsome paintings
and are especially designed for hang
ing on dining-room walls, though
their richness and beauty entities them

Getting Rid of Fertillzed Workers.

At bee-keepers' convention a mem
Der asked how to get rid Of fertilized
workers. A Mr.. Muth replied as fol-
lows: have had some experience with
fertiliZed workers, and 1 think 1t an
easy matter to straighten 1t up. The
colonies Of bees, as we all know, con-
sist OF queen, drones and worker
bees. The worker bees again have the
work Of the colony divided among
them, according to their age, to the
best of our observations. The lees are
of age when about ten days old. When
ten days old they commence to fly out
foraging and bring home honey or
pollen, one or the other, or both, as
the case may be; and the younger
bees, If you observe closely, you Will
find to be organized workers, that
build the combs and cap the cells, and
do all that kind Of work; and the
younger bees are the ones that gener-
ally supply the larvae in the cells with
nursery food, as it is called. The old
bees don't attend to any home work;
the younger bees do it all. When we
raise queens 1t happens very often that
the old bees get tired Of harboring
them. II they have once been disap-
pointed, the queens and all the eggs
we give them will be destroyed, which
is accomplished by the old bees and
the fertile workers. The simplest plan
is to supply that colony with young
bees, and you can give them a queen
at once, which will be accepted. 10
1t by taking comb or two out Of the
hive, and putting in their place a
comb with Matching brood and ad-
herring bees from strong colony and
then introducing the queen. The lack
of young bees in the hive is the only
cause of their refusing the queen.

Ancnt Bees.

Bees when gathering honey are very
gentle and may be easily handled, says
Kansas Farmer. This is especially so
with swarms, and it is only in extreme
cases that they attempt to sting.
Swarms may leave the hive with as
much honey as they can carry with
them, and their being full of honey
accounts for their gentleness. Persons
who understand bees thoroughly have
no fear of stings whatever, and will
work with them at any and all times
and under all conditions with safety.
Unless the swarm is an extremely
large>one it should be confined in the
brood department for few days before
adding upper stories. The brood nest
is thus located where it ought to be,
and will not interfere with the surplus
department. If swarm is hived in a
two story hive the bees will go to the
top to. begin work, hence the import
ance of using the brood chamber proper
at first, and afterwards adding the sur
plus boxes. A good sized swarm when
hiyed on a set of frames filled with
foundation will be ready for the sur
plus boxes in three or four days.

Blue Grass.-It is somewhat curl
GUS as well as instructive historical
fact that less than century ago blue
grass, now regarded as Indispensable
on the farm, was treated as pest,
which all good people were expected to
get rid of as soon as possible. Its
great value was wholly unknown, and
it was not till after years of denuncia-
ton and bad treatment that It
worked its way to its present high
position among the forage plants. We
should learn from this not to be too
hasty in rejecting anything that pres
sents itself for experiment and con-
sideration.-P. S. Kennedy.

ROGERS WAS INSANE.
Ended His Life By Hanging Him
self in the Hillside Home.
He leaves Wife and
Two Children.

Miner Rogers, an insane patient at
the Hillside Home, committed suicide
yesterday morning by hanging him
self with strips made of a bed sheet
News that he was a father impelled
him to the deed.
Rogers was thirty-one years of age
and resident of Dunmore. Insanity
is hereditary in his family, it is said,
and in August last it developed in him
in the form of a religious mania. He
was respondent rather than violent
and was not regarded as a dangerous
patient.
Wednesday his wife gave birth to
their second child and when news of it
was brought to him he became unus-
ually morose and gave every evidence
of being deeply affected.
His condition became such that the
night nurses treated him with especial
care. At 4.30 o'clock a. m. nurse
brought him a glass of water which
he drank. Half and hour later when
the day watchman was making his
first rounds he found Rogers hanging
from the steam pipe. He had made
a rope by tearing his bed sheet into
strips and tying the pieces together.
1t is supposed he stood on the bed
before tying the rope around his neck
There were two other patients in the
rooms, but neither of them were awak-
ened by Rogers act.
The remains are still at the home
awaiting Coroner Longstreets direc-
| tions. He will go there this morning
| to conduct an inquest. This is the
first happening of this kind at the home
| in six wears.
