before the Cabinet meeting tomorrow.

reason to believe it is not an unqualified
acceptance of the American terms. but is
framed on the theory of accepting the
essentials and trusting TO hoped-for
concilatory spirit on the part of the
Government to moderate to some extent
features which the Spanish Government
seems to regard as unessentials.

PURCHASING BEES
Some Really Valuable Hints for NOv.
 anA~ Nv. AnplRnIfmRN

Some Really Valuable Hints for NOv-
 ices in Agriculture.
 This is one of the puzzles to the be- ginner, when to buy. All things con sidered, think the spring the best time. In the hands of the master it might pay to buy in the fall, as they can be bought much cheaper then. But novice would not know whether they were in proper condition to winter successfully or not, or what to do in case they were not, or how to prepare them in case they needed special attention preparatory to going into winter quarters. But by pur- chasing in the spring, even though they cost dollar per colony more, there is no risk to run, tor with reasonable season they will pay for themselves and there will he something left.
 would advise buying as near home as possible, to save express charges, as it is very difficult to ship small lots of bees by local freight. If you feel timid about handling them I should advise buying pure Italians, as they are more quiet than the blacks or hybrids; but if you are not, would not pay larger prices for any particular strain you may see advertised in the bee journals. The honey gathered by the blacks and hybrids is just as sweet, and the quanti- ty just as great as that gathered by the high-toned or high-priced races, and no bee on earth builds such delicate combs, or caps its honey with such virgin white ness as the poor, despised black bee.
 Iwould advise, if possible, to buy full, offong colonies, and wherever you may live should advise having them moved or. shipped about the time apple trees blossom. Make your purchase as early as possible, but don't be in hurry to have them moved; they are much better where they are until settled warm weather has come to stay, and the blos- sons are producing nectar. Perhaps some of you don't feel able to buy strong colonies; if not you can buy two, three or four frame nuclei for less money and at less cost of transporta- tion. These you can build up during the season, and make good colonies of them by fall, but you could not req sonably expect much increase in num- Der, or much surplus honey, while on the other hand, with strong colonies you can double your spring count, and with a good season and good manage ment get enough surplus honey to pay for the colonies you buy in the spring. advise beginners to make haste slow ly, and make the bees pay their way every season; then should you meet with winter losses you will be noth- | ing out but your time, and will have your experience, hives and combs left to begin with another spring. all of which you will find valuable.-Rural World.

During the past four years we have not made any systematic ef- forts to collect the amounts due us on subscription for the ARGUS be- cause of the short crops and hard times; but a change has at last come upon the people; crops are for the most part good all over the country, and we shall expect every one to settle up this fall; indeed we shall insist upon it and to that end we expect to see every mau in the country during the season, but how much better it would be if you will come and pay us or send the money to us; it would save us both time and money.

A Clever Trick.
M. FRIEDMAN

It certainly looks like it, but there is really no trick about 1t. Anybody can try it who has Lame Back and weak Kidneys, Malaria or nervous troubles. We mean he can cure himself right away by taking Electric Bitters. This med icine tones up the whole system, acts as a stimulant to the Liver and Kidneys, is a blood purifier and nerve tonic. It cures Consti- patton, Headache, Painting Spells, Sleeplessness and Melancholy. It is purely vegetable, mild laxa- tive, and restores the system to its natural vigor. Try Electric Bit ters and be convinced that they are a miracle worker. Every bot tie guaranteed. Only 50c. a bottle at c. H. Pasley's Drug Store.

PROPERLY ARRANGED BOOSTS.

est perch will be uncomfortably crowd ed, while portion~of the lower ones is unoccupied. The fear of danger will prompt fowls to seek the highest roost- ing place. If the roosts are level. no injury from getting down and off will occur, and the fowls will not crowd one another. The arrangement shown herewith is convenient one. Make n tight platform 1H feet from the floor to catch droppings. Around the edge nail strip one by three to keep droppings from scattering and going on and of. X platform arranged in this way is con- ducive to cleanliness. as the fowls will not step in the manure and track it over the floor. Place the roosts foot above the platform and rest them firm ly in a slot or mortise. Make them of two by three scantling, rounded on the upper side, planed perfectly smooth so that the fowls will not be likely to get splinters in their feet. Smooth roosts are easily cleaned and do not harbor lice. The perches should be far enough apart to prevent soiling of plumage; 14 or Is inches is about the right distance. Allow one foot on the roost for each fowl of the large breeds and less for the small breeds.-Farm and Home.
