Much of the profits of dairying is
eaten up by the cows. A single COW
may be all right in appearance, and
even in quantity of milk yield, and
yet she may be merely an expensive
luxury; her feeding and care weighing
more financially than her butter pro-
duct Every COW should be carefully
tested not only as to amount of butter
yield. but as to the amount Of feed she
requires to make It from. The test
should involve a careful weighing of
feed as we'll as butter, and cows that
10 not yield a reasonable profit should
be weeded out.

FLOORS IN BEE HIVES.
A Method That Combines Economy and
Great Convenience.


Some hives have the floor boards OF
bottoms fast, and some have them
loose. There are times when one kind
is better, and times when the other is
better. In view of these facts, DR.. G.
G. Miller gives the following informal
ton in the National Steekman and
Farmer.
In the spring of the year it is often
desirable 10 clean the dead bees and
filth off the hive At such times, if
the bottom is nailed ON, there is no
way of making clean job of it but to
take all the bees and combs out of the
hive, troublesome job and sometimes
resulting in injury to colony, especially
if the weather be cold. If the floor
board he loose, it is an easy thing to
raise the hive and put a clean floor
board in place of the dirty one, then
after the dirty one is cleaned it can be
given to another hive, and so on. The
practice of tiering up hives, having
them two or more stories high, is be-
coming more and more common all the
time. and there is ne possibility of do
ing this unless the floor board be
separate from the hive.

For Early Plants.

The hotbed should be located in
some sheltered place protected from
the chilly winds and where there is
plenty of sunshine. Good sash will be
needed to protect the plants from cold.
The frame for the hotbed may be
made about four feet wide and as long
as desired. The best heating material
is strawy horse manure. This should
be placed at the bottom of the frame
from one 70 three feet deep, according
to the amount of heat required. This
should be packed down and covered
with several inches of good soil from
the woods. After the hotbed is thor
oughly warm and the heat begins to
subside it is ready for the seeds. We
have had tomato plants appear above
ground in just three days after sowing
the seed with the thermometer at 125
degrees, but there is danger of burn
ing the seed at this temperature; 70
degrees is about the proper temporal
ture to maintain for the best results.
With a little experience one can soon
learn to handle a hotbed successfully.

SOME USEFUL INFORMATION
Hints for tho Economical wearer of Kid
Gloves to Profit BY.

Economy in all things is often over
looked, and if only more consideration
were given to this subject quite con-
siderable sum of money might be saved
annually. The careless manner in
which a large number of ladies treat
their gloves is an instance in point
and perhaps the following hints may
serve to show how the reasonable care
of kid gloves would result in a reduc-
ton of expenditure
In the first place, it may be pointed
out that rough handling is specially
disastrous to kid gloves, and it very
often happens that a new pair is split
ana ruined by jerking them on in
careless fashion. Always put on a
new pair of kid gloves for the first
time long enough before they are to be
Worn to allow in due deliberation in
the task. When a pair of fine gloves
are bought the purchaser should insist
that they be fitted on in the shop;
then if there are any flaws they will be
detected before the goYes are paid for
and taken away.
In putting on a glove be careful to
get each finger straight. Coax each
one on by rubbing gently with the
thumb and first finger until the fingers
are down to the very ends
In taking the gloves off turn the
wrist over the fingers and take hold of
the ends of the fingers through the
wrist. It wears a glove out badly to
pull it off by catching hold of the
finger tips. Pull the glove into shape
and lay aside carefully. Silk should
be kept to match each shade, and
gloves should be mended as soon as a
break appears, for the old preverb "a
stitch in time saves nine is especially
appropriate to these articles of attire.
Glove mending is delicate work, which
requires both skill and dexterity and
when well done pays admirably for the
pains taken. Glove powder should
form one of the adjuncts to every tot
let table, and pretty glove stretcher
another
Buttoning gloves should never be
done in a hurry. The wrist should be
carefully and gently pulled straight,
and the buttons insinuated gently into
the holes. Use a glove buttoner al
ways, it ruins both the buttonholes
and the finger tips to button them
without.
After purchasing new pair of
gloves always sew the buttons on be-
for wearing them. The annoyance of
having the buttons drop off will then
be averted. -Woman's Life.

FLOOR For BEE HIVE.

There are, however, times when II Is
very desirable TO have the floor boards
secured to the hive. Those who haul
hives to and from out-apialies must
have the floor fast to the hive, so there
is no danger of bees getting out. There
may be other times when it is neees-
sary to have the floor fast to the hive,
but most of the time l would rather
have the floor separate.
1t is not a very hard thing to have
hives SO made that the floors shall be
loose most of the time, but fastened
securely to the hive when needed. For
merly | fastened the floors to my hives
with screws when l wanted to haul
them, then took the screws out when
they were not needed. But | found
out better and less expensive way.
now fasten them with staples, which
can be bought for 10 cents pound or
less. The staples are what are some
times called tobacco staples, and some
times they go by other names. They
are the same as double pointed taeks,
only on a larger scale The staples
use are 13s inches wide, and the two
legs are seyen-eights of an inch long.
OF course, a size a little different from
this would answer. When a staple is
driven in, one leg in the hive and one
in the floor board, it holds as firmly as
a nail driven in. perhaps more so. It
is driven in not quite full depth, and
then it is very easily drawn out. For
hauling, four staples are used to fasten
the floor to the hive, but for a hive that
is merely to be carried into the cellar
two will do, one about the middle at
each side.

The cattle tick will never be EXTERN
mated where animals are allowed to

in districts where they have never

TO them they are well pleased with
their operation.

The Lard Press.

Farmers who slaughter four or more
hogs each year should have lard
press. A considerable number de use
them, but very many do not. A good
press will last life time or longer,
and during this period it will greatly
increase the lard product. In many
eases the difference amounts to the
lard product Of single hog.
