Make Fly Look Twelve Miles Long.

Prof. Elmer Gates, of Washington,
says he has worked out process by
which objects can be magnified to a
size 500 times greater than by any of
the microscopes now in use. His in
venticn, he claims, will revolutionize
microscopy. and will advance science
10 a point hitherto unheard of. His
discovery. he says, will be of special
value in bacteriology and the study of
the cellular tissues. The professor de-
clares that he has succeeded where all
other scientists have failed-in discov-
ering a way by which the magnified
image projected on lense can be mag
nified by a second as if it were the
original object. To do this has been the
aim of scientific photographers and
microscopists for many years. Prof.
Gates does not take the public into his
confidence sufficiently to divulge the
details of his invention, but he says he
will be ready to give it to the world in
a few weeks. The power of the new
instrument is mentioned as 100000
diameters.-Washlng dispatch to

At first Gabe resented the woman's S

took no notice of his ungracious con-

Timothy Meadows,

It is generally mistake to closely
Craze timothy in the fall. The after
math which grows up after the first
crop has been cut is worth more as a
mulch for the roots than it's value as
feed. 1t will not save the soil beneath
it from freezing, but it will prevent the
alternative of thawing and freezing
which is so injurious to timothy roots,
There is a bulb on the timothy plant
close to the surface of the ground. In
these alterations of thawing and
freezing the stem which connects this
with the root is generally severed and
the plant is ruined. For permanent
grass either pasture or meadow tim
othy is very unreliable grass. At it's
best it needs frequent top dressings to
keep in good condition many years.

Gold Everywhere.

''There is gold everywhere" said the
superintendent of the United States
assay office. why, if you were to go
right out there on Wall street and dig
a lot of dirt from under the paving
blocks and go at it with a pan you'd
wash out gold, but it wouldn't be pay
dirt There wouldn't be enough of the
yellow stuff to pay for the trouble of
rocking the pan. The entire Appala-
chan chain of mountains, running
from Labrador away down into Geor-
gia and Alabama, abounds in gold
bearing rock, but only in a few in
stances has it been found rich enough
to pay for working"

Country Meat Supplies.

There is a great deal Of difficulty In
country places sometimes in securing
supplies of fresh meat during summer
as needed. A good refrigerator with
plentiful ice supply will do much to
keep meat fresh for several days. But
in most cases the mutual exchange or
different portions of small animals VIII
enable them to be consumed without
loss. In the olden time, when nearly
every farmer kept a flock of sheep, to
kill one and divide the four quarters
among four neighbors, each of whom
would reciprocate during the season,
gave each enough for the time, and
proved saving to all. All farmers
who keep poultry have at nearly all
times some specimens that are off duty
for laying, and which can be profitably
killed in case of emergency. Yet so
often when the fowl has been killed 4
large number of eggs are found in her
ovum, makes the farmer think he had
better have kept few small pigs or
some sheep for this purpose. In every
flock there are, however, many rooSters,
so that while these last the family need
not be without fresh meat in any emer-
gency.
a Valuable Timber Tree.
The catalpa is very handsome, and
Is especially valuable for large lawns.
1t would not answer for small areas,
as the tree grows to a large size, and
its branches extend out quite dis
tance. 1t is a vigorous, hardy tree, and
rapid grower; the wood is valuable
for timber and for fencing, and the tree
makes excellent firewood. The tree
grows SO fast on deep, rich river bot
toms that it can be cut for timber
twelve years from the seed. This tree
is largely grown in the West for tele-
graph poles, railroad ties and for barn
timber.
The catalpa is a native of the South
ern States. The leaves are large, heart
shaped, and the tree makes a beautiful
appearance when in full bloom, during
the last week in May. The spikes of
white and yellow flowers are very
beautiful. The tree grows quickly

Ree-keeDiup Hints.

The queen is the life of the colony.
Always set beehives close to the
ground.
Keep the hives well painted, espe-
cially the roofs.
Hives should be set with entrances
facing south or east.
Smoke is the only thing that will sub
due or control bees.
Thorough ripening of honey is more
important than color.
Do not winter bees in house unless
it is frost-proof and dark.
Put a good layer of sawdust around
the hive, especially in front.
The air should always circulate be-
tween the ground and the hive.
Never smoke bees at any time more
than is necessary to quiet them.
Wind breaks on the north and west
sides of the apiary are beneficial.
Heavy canvas or duck is a good ma
terial to cover the frames in winter.
Roofs of hives of every kind should
have a good coat of paint every fall;
leaky roofs are very damaging.
The proper time for transferring
bees is early in the spring, when the
bees are gathering their first honey.
