1TAL1AN1Z1NG BEES
as Queens Can Then be
Had Cheaply.

Autumn is the best time to Italianize
bees. Queens can be secured at halt
price during the fall months, and by
thus changing queens we have the adj
vantage of the Italian stock the follow
ing spring. We can successfully intro
duce queens during the fall months as
long as the weather is warm enough to
handle bees. At the price queens can be
bought for now it almost pays to re-
queen every colony that has queens
over one year old, with young queens
of the present seasons raising.
Young queens introduced now will
produce good supply of late bees that
will Withstand the winter and, as
result, will come out strong in the
spring. Young queens will, as rule,
lay good supply of eggs during the
fall months, when old queens will cease
laying entirely in midsummer unless
there is an unusual flow of honey late
in the season or they are supplied with
feed.
The usual course pursued in chang
ing queens, or introducing the same is,
first remove the old queen; and it is
preferable to place her in cage and
preserve her until the new queen is
safely introduced and laying. If any
mishap occurs to the new queen the
old one can be returned. In fran E
hives it is an easy matter to find the
queen by simply lifting out the frames
and carefully looking them over; the
queen being much larger than the
worker bees, is readily detected. In
other hives that are not movable frame,
or in common box hives. it is not i'm
possible, but they may be Italianized

Lord CurzOn:s LOGICAL Justice.

An unfortunate clerk in one of the
government offices, with 20 years serv-
ice, recently took leave and overstayed
his leave by nine days. He was called
upon for an explanation, and in the end
the secretary ordered him to be dis
missed. The clerk thereupon appealed
to the viceroy, who called for an explain
alton of the circumstances. The secre-
tary showed that the man had not only
overstayed his leave for nine days, but
was hopelessly incompetent as well.
His excellency thereupon ordered the
man to be reinstated, and wrote across
the secretary's explanation that he con-
sidered the hopelessly incompetent
man was the one who took 20 years to
find out the others Incompetence

BUD THE SEEDLINGS.
How Stray Little Trees, Grown from
Seeds, May BE Made to Bear
Choice Fruit.

On looking over the farm one may
find young fruit trees growing where
birds have dropped the seeds years ago.
These will usually produce fruit of little
or no value if left to themselves. But
when the budding season is here, they
may be budded and made to bear the
choicest fruit.
If. they are not over half an inch or
five-eighths in diameter, they may be
budded within an inch or two of the
ground. And two or three buds should
be inserted, one above the other and
two or three inches apart in order to
make assurance doubly sure"
If three-fourths of an inch in diane
ter, or over, they will do better budded
in the top, say five feet up. And if
there are several branches it may be
better to put bud or two in each
branch, instead of in the stem.
Trees of apple, peach, pear, cherry,
ETC., may be treated in this way, with
a little labor at spare times, and made
to bear the finest fruits of their kind.

HOW TO PULL POSTS.

post he swung the team a little to the
right, then slightly to the left, and
backed few feet, bringing left hind
wheel of wagon about in lime with post
and within few feet of it. One end Of
chain having been fastened around
the axle near left wheel, hooked the
other end around post close to ground,
then lifted chain and set the piece of

A Remedy for BAD Language.

An ocean-going captain was so much
given to using bad language that his
first mate made a bet with him that he
could not do without swearing for a
week. It went on all right for the first
two or three days, until bit of squat
came on, and the sailors were up a!ott
doing their different duties. But their
captain was displeased with their work.
He stood it as long as he could, and
then he threw his cap on the deck in a
towering rage, jumped on it, and, shak-
ing his fist up at the men with an an
cry scowl, he Kissed: "Bless you, my
dears-you know what mean!"-Tit-

Ralinr Glover in the Field.

It is claimed that clover hay may be
baled in the field, but the experiments
made are not sufficient to show the ben
efits derived compared with storing
clover in the NOW. The clover is cut in
the morning, after it is free from dew or
rain, and when well wilted the hay ted
der is used, so as to give it every chance
to cure. In the afternoon the hay is
baled and hauled to the barn. If this
method is practiced care must be exer-
cised in having the hay properly cured
and in just the proper condition for
baling, as baled clover is more liable to
heat than timothy or other kinds.

Make the Farm Home Happy.

Some farmers have wives whom they
work like slaves, and soon these once
fair specimens of Gods work grow gray
and wrinkled. If the drudgery contin-
ues, death follows and the farmer is left
wifeless. There is something in this
life to work for besides money. Wealth
is nice thing to have, but health is far
greater and more necessary. A man or
woman in good health is a millionaire
though penniless. At the rate some
farm women go about their endless
tasks they are quite likely to lose the
latter and miss the former. Their
should be rest, recuperation and enjoy
ment in the farm home. It can be made
the happiest place on earth if its owner
so elects. -Farmers' Voice.

SUGAR FOR SOLDIERS.
Some Experiments Made in Germany
Prove It's Value as a Strength
Imparting Ration.

A paper was read recently at Metz,
Germany, by DR.. Leitensdorfer, at a
meeting of the local Army Surgeons
society, on the subject of the use of
sugar as food in the army. The lee
turer based his remarks upon personal
observations. In three companies of
soldiers ten men without means and Of
weak constitution were used for the
tests, and ten stronger men to control
the same. Before the experiments be-
gan, the weight, pulse at rest and pulse
at work, and respiration were taken
for each individual. The stronger man
having a pulse at rest of so or less
showed an increase of to Is beats at
work; the weaker ones, when sub
jected to the identical exercise, showed
an increase as high as 80 beats above
80 Or over. ..0
The sugar men received seven, and
later on ten to twelve Jumps of sugar
day, each lump being equal to five
grammes. In some cases the amount
was increased up to ~ grammes day.
The result of the experiemnt was the
following In scientific sense a favor
able influence upon the capacity of the
individual was shown at so to 60
grammes day, added to the regular
ration, the pulse and respiration being
lower while at work than with those not
fed on sugar, and then the men fed on
sugar showing an increase of weight
greater than those who did not eat the
sugar. The favorable influence of the
sugar upon the muscles and the heart
exhibited itself in greater endurance.
From practical point of view it was
determined: 1. That men like sugar
and it agrees with them. 2. That sugar
satisfies both hunger and thirst. 3.
That sugar gives quick relief in case of
hunger, faintness and exhaustion, ow-
ing to the fact that it is easily alb
sorbed.
The Agricultural Society of France
on March 5, at the instance of it's presi-
dent, M. S. Tetard, resolved to request
the government to allow more impor-
tant place to sugar in the army rations.
The request has led to an order by the
minister of war to the corps command
ers to make experiments for the pur-
pose of determining if, and to what ex-
tent, the addition of sugar to the ration
would be profitable in the field.-Beet

Rarest Bird I'm Cuba.

The rarest of all birds in Cuba is the
ara-tricolor, commonly known as the
Cuban macaw. Its habitat is the
swamps, and the following general de-
scription will illustrate its beauty:
Forehead, red, becoming yellowish on
top and shading into bright yellow on
the neck; back feathers, cinnamon,
edged with green; under parts, scarlet,
with dash of orange on the throat;
secondary feathers, bright blue on the
upper surface, pale brown underneath;
legs brown and eyes yellow. Seen in
the dusk resting on the lily pads of a
swamp, the ara-tricolor is one of the
handsomest specimens of the bird life
to be found in any land or any Cline

THRIFTY FALL CHICKS.
tect Their Feed from the Greedy
Older FlOcks.

Last year I raised 300 chicks, but
none of them grew and matured so
rapidly as the late Matched September
brood, and think it partly due to their
generous feeds of cracked corn. Find
ing that these September chicks were
crowded from the feed boards when
ever the older focks were fed, placed
in their yard one of the coop runs, a
triangular frame of laths, used earlier
in the season to confne mother hens
near their coop. I have dozen of these
runs. They are the length of lath
and allow little chicks free ingress and
egress, while the mother can but put
her head through the Stats. The open

VIENNA'S HIGH PLACE.
Why the Famous City Has So Exalted
a Rank Among the Capitals
of Europe.

If we take the capitals of Europe to-
day, we must, after weighing the claims
of each, put Vienna first as combining
more than any other the advantages
which appeal to a cultivated man. Rome
is, of course, unique, the ''city of the
SOUL" for all time, where a man may
never weary of exploring and of medi-
tating on things human and Divine.
But as an everyday residence Rome is
a different place from the wonderful
position she occupies as world city.
Her climate is trying for considerable
part of the year, and, though her death
rate has been immensely decreased by
modern improvements, one would
scarcely go there for health. Her in
tellectual life is not at high level,
her fashionable salons have the note of
a superficial and routine frivolity.
There is not good theater in Rome,
the opera fourishes there for only a
few weeks, the music generally is not
striking. AS for Paris, all want to go
there now and then, and we should
many of us agree with Lord Dufferin
eAAoC ~ Aos III q SSAoC, q SdCl GU NAIy u
art and literature and esprit, with a
generally diffused intelligence which
probably eXcels that of any city, Ath-
ems excepted, that has ever existed.
Paris is also unique, but do we want to
live there always? Is there not too much
excitement, too much noise, is not the
world too much with us? We may say
the same of London, with the added dis
advantage that the huge size of the lat
ter and its incredible areas Of ''mean
streets exert a depressing effect on
the mind. Berlin and Madrid are out
of the question; nobody would care to
settle in either; and St. Petersburg is
even more impossible. The smaller cap
itals are far more captivating, espe-
cially those two most charming cities,
Stockholm and Copenhagen, both home
like, but both beautiful. But we think,
if modern cultivated man looked all
round the various cities of Europe, he
would be inclined to fix on Vienna as
combining the greatest variety of
charm and interest and as being the
| most desirable of European capitals.

Care of Young Chicks.

Never keep any more feed before
young chicks than they will eat up
clean, when confined in brooder, but
after you let them outside the brooder
always keep dry grain food in the
brooder, in little trough, so as to en-
tice them to return to the brooder, their
only home. See that their feed trough
in brooder is full before shutdown.
Chicks must not be overfed, especial
ly when young. Chicks must be
kept warm. Chicks must be taught
correct habits in the first days
of their youth. Chicks must have
more attention than wheat or corn.
These rules apply to chicks, ducks and
turkeys.-Agricultural Epitomist.

Well, in the course of an hour Mr..
Walter Andrews let himself in at the
street door, and the occupant of the
ground floor, happening just then to
open his door, said: 'Oh, Andrews.
you'd better call on Clitheroe as you GO

So Andrews kicked Clitheroe's door
violently, and was answered by the
bearded man himself. And when An.

he see but his little sister Addie asleep
in the models chair, with big blue
sunbonnet half tumbling off her head
BY that time Clitheroe had sketched in
the head-sunbonnet and all, while the
tired-out wearer slept.
Brother Wat pretended to be angry
with Addie for taking upon herself sucl,
an adventure. On the other side, the
bearded Clitheroe was there to take her
part.
1T looks very bad for you, Andrews,
to be afraid to have your sister drop
in on you without warning-very bad

idiot Guthrie" had never given her
Clitheroe's message at all. So that, as

had sent Miss Andrews to sit for his
sunbonnet picture. The sittings were
continued until the picture was de.
clared beyond all danger of failure.
And later on Providence further in.

bearded man--with equal satisfaction

IT WAS NOT A COW.
1t Was a Woman Who Had Quarreled
with Her Lover That Was
ON the Track.

"Pete" Duffy many years ago had
charge of passenger engine on the
Cincinnati, Wabash & Michigan divi-
sion of the Big Four, and the great aim
of his, life was to get his train into An
derson on time. One night Pete was
late, and was making up lost time.
There is steep grade at Summitville
and trains generally shut off steam
while going down it, but on this occa-
sion he was in hurry, and put on a
little more steam. The night was dark,
and the air so heavy with drizzling
rain that an object could not be seen
more than 20 feet ahead. Something
suddenly darted across the track in
front of the engine, and was sent hurl-
ing through the air into the darkness.
Got another blamed cow" shouted
Pete to his fireman across the cab.
''Worse than that" yelled the FRY
man. II saw something white"
Pete shut off steam, but could not
stop before the station was reached.
The train was backed to the spot where
the object was seen, and the trainmen,
with lanterns, made search. In field
40 feet from the right of way they found
awoman, covered with blood and groan"
ing with pain.
Pete had sweetheart in Anderson
those days (they were married after
ward), and when he saw that battered
form lying, in the mud tears came to his
eyes.
"Poor little grill" he said, and, stoop-
ing down, he lifted her tenderly and
carried her gently to the car, where be
made her as comfortable as possible.
The company's surgeon found that the
woman was terribly hurt, and it was
months before she recovered. Then the
story came out.
She had quarreled with her lover, and
III moment of desperation determined
to kill herself. When she heard the
train whistle she ran to the track and
threw herself in front of the engine.
But the train was going so fast that in
stead of going under the wheels she
fell on the pilot and was thrown out
of the way. A year or so later she mar
| ried the man of her choice, and is now
living happily. 'Pete" is now on a
western road, but his experience that
dark night on the Summitville hill he
has never forgotten.-Columbus CO.,

Working Young Horses.

A colt should be thoroughly broken
the winter before he is two years old,
and should be driven occasionally, both
singly and with another horse, to keep
in practice what he has learned, as well
as to furnish the exercise required to
keep his muscles in good condition. If
put to work it should be only of the
lightest character, and especial care
should be taken at first not to gall the
shoulders where the collar presses. All
the work two-year-old colt will do
without injury costs about as much as
it is worth in extra care given to the
young animal that it does not injure
him,
