CLEAN HOUSEKEEPING.
Italian Bees Are Extremely Neat and
DO Not Tolerate Dirt Around
Their Hives.

One of the great points Of difference
between an Italian and the common
black bee is that the Italian is good
poor one, says Wallace's Farmer. The
Italian does not tolerate any dirty
combs or any loose chips lying on the
floor of the hive or about the entrance.
If anything gets in too big to be car
ried out, she buries it I'm propolis or bee
gum. Why does she keep house in this
fashion? Partly because she likes it,
like most good housekeepers. and part
ly because she doesn't want any mot h
eggs to be lying about in the dust.
where the moths will lay them if they
can, and then be carried into the combs
filled with bee bread, there to hatch out
and work their way between the brood
cells and spin their webs around the
wings and toes Of the baby bees. Like
most good housekeepers. the Italian is
not a nervous body. She goes at it
calmly, deliberately, has level head.
and always keeps cool, while the black
bee gets alarmed, loses her head. and
runs whenever there is danger. The
black bee is saucy. irritable and cross
grained; the Italian is good-natured
cool-headcd, but when she does fight
she means business. The black bee
will buzz around, make terrible fuss.
and threaten to wipe the earth with
you; the Italian will strike you as quick
as lightning and say nothing about it.
Queer, isn't it, that there should be the
same difference between bees that
there is between housekcepers and be-
tween men; that cool-headedness and
courage and effective work should be
found in one type of bees and in one
type of men, and that slovenliness, fuss
mess. braggadocio and ill-temper
should be found in another? There are
a great many things to be learned by Il
little observation in the beehive.

SHALLOW CORN CULTURE.
ENpc rIments of the Nebraska station
show the Success of the Compare
ativeIy New Method.

A revolution in corn culture in Ne
braska is promised. For some years
the advocates of shallow cultivation
have been endeavoring to prove the
value of their plan. but have made lit
tie Roadway. At the request of Il num-
Der of farmers the experimental sta
ton has been making thorough tests,
and a bulletin announcing results is
being prepared for publication.
Four acres of land was divided into
tracts of one acre each, and each tract
was cultivated by different cultivator.
The result showed that the acre under
deep cultivation yielded 80 bushels,
while one under shallow yielded 60 and
the other two 90 bushels each. The
land receiving shallow cultivation was
stirred to a depth OF three inches, that
receiving deep cultivation to depth
of six inches.
The director OF the experimental sta
ton says that the advantage of shallow
cultivation lies in the fact that the air
does not penetrate SO deeply, and there
fore does not dry out the roots in II
year where the rainfall is below nor
NAL. \ study of the roots of the corn
plant shows that many of them would
naturally grow within three or four
inches of the surface, but when the
upper layer is dry, their source of
nourishment is shut off. Deep cultha-
ton has the disadvantage, too, of tear
ing the roots, thereby hindering them
from securing the proper amount of
nourishmcnt. The one thing insisted
upon in shallow cultivation is frequent
stirring to prevent a hard crust from
forming for any time on the surface.
Wherever tried, the shallow Guilt
waited corn this year has proved the
more vigorous. although so well timed
have been the rains that the yield is
certain to be enormous. The prospects
are such that the millions of bushels
held by spectators in cribs are being
marketed as fast as possible, although
the market has saggcd some within the
month.

VALUE OF cow PEA.
Crop, Says This Writer, IL
Has No Equal.

Capt. l.. \. Wilson writes from Wash
ington in part as follows; Farmers in
the north do not, as rule, half appre-
ciate the COW pea as a forage, feed and
fertilizing crop. Really, there is
nothing they can grow on the farm that
in all respects begins to equal it, and
where conditions are anything like
favorable, good, average crop is al
most certainty. AS an upbuilder OF
poor, sandy and overworked soils, il is
especially valuable. In all-round value
there is but one other legumc that be-
gins TO equal il, and that is the Florida
velvet bean, but for speedy growth
and early maturity of fruit the COW pea
stands at the head. Ii is u wonderful
nitrogen gatherer, and il is therefore
exceedingly valuable both as n green
feed and renovator of the soil. Twelve
to twenty thousand pounds of green
forage per acre, and 90 to 80 bushels OF
seed is not an uncommon yield, and
with this mass of leaf and vine turned
under as fertilizer. or cut and cured as
dry feed, or used for silo. must neces-
sarily be of great value. The matured
pea is especially valuable for all stock
on the farm, as every living thing will
eat them as greedily as they would corn
or oats. Hogs do specially well on
them, and to turn them into pea field
they will fatten perfectly. To grow a
crop fit your ground nicely, drilling
seed an inch or $50 apart, and covering
about three inches deep. Or you can
seed with common wheat drill, which
will do just as well. When plants are
up to four or five inches run over field
with weighted harrow, paying no at
tention to rows, thus freeing your
ground of grass and weeds If ground
is not too foul, this is all your crop will
| need. Most of all the cow pea family is
quick in fruiton and maturing of
fruit, rarely taking over 60 to so days
from date of planting to maturity of
fruit and harvesting of crop. This
makes, therefore, specially valuable
crop for the central and northern Sec
tisns of orr union. where seasons are
inclined to be short, and where crops
so frequently fail"

Cause Of Leg weakness.

Now that the young ROSTERS are run
ming at large they will grow rapidly IL
properly fed, but should the weather
become damp they may suddenly show
weakness in the legs. If they eat and
seem well otherwise they will soon
come in proper condition. as the weak
ness is caused by the birds growing in
height rather than in breadth, the legs
seeming to grow longer, Such birds
show the effects more on sudden
change of the weather than at any other
time, as IL rheumatic. Keep them in a
dry place, feed plenty of bonemeal,
and they will not only easily get over
Il, but will eventually be the largest

WATER BARREL SLED.

such as is shown in the accompanying
illustration, all lifting is avoided. The
sled is about four feet wide and the
runners about five long. The cross
piecesare of two-inch boardsand should
be mortised into the runners to give
strength. To keep the barrel from
sliding off the sled when passing over
uneven ground, blocks cut from 2x4
are nailed down to the cross pieces of
the sled in such way that they will
fit snugly about the bottom of the bar
rel. The longer blocks should be hewn
out. With these blocks there is little
danger of the barrel upsetting. This
sled being small and light is useful
about the farm, where only light haul
ing not requiring more than one horse
is to be done.-Orange Judd Farmer.

Il state of facts that agreed with the

Utility of the accusing evidence, and the
committee reported the whole matter
back to the house as it was presented
to it without comment or recommends
alton. Had the testimony that was
taken before the committee been pre-
scented to the house earlier in the SEES
sion in the form of formal charges
against the judge there are many who
believe Il trial in impeachment would
have been ordered. AS the case came
to the house, after it had been discussed
i'll the press. when Il committee had
been appointed against the protest of
Il number Of the members of the house.
and after the house in executive ses-
sion had resolved not to receive the
petition of Glaspell or consider the mat
ter in any form, the tendency to con-
slider the matter in the serious light of
probable impeachment was not great
and the principal sentiment of the
members was to dispose of the matter
without doing injustice to anyone and
without involving the legislature in an
impeachment proceeding which would
have ~necessitatcd an extra session. The
resolution adopted, therefore. merely
stated that the Impeachment proceed
ing under the evidence that was adj
duced would be neither wise nor juSti-
fable, that the house regretted having
considered the matter, and that the ell
tire case was dismissed. There was
Il sentence in the resolution as origin
ally drafted, stating that the testimony
adduced warranted the newspaper
statements that had appeared. but this
was stricken out. 1t was thought that
it would provoke a fight on the floor of
the house. Glaspells friends would
have opposed the adoption of the reSo-
luton. the entire matter would have
opened up for Il discussion that might
have resulted in bitterness. and the
probability is that an impeachment
might have been ordered. upon the ar
gument that this was the only way to
settle the matter as to the weight OF the
charges.

The bill for the reimbursement of
Bulleigh county to the sum Of $1,197
for the prosecution of William Fl.
Leonard, the wolf scalper who served
Il term in the pe%nitentiary, was one of
those that passed and has been APP
proved by the governor. Leonard's
operations in swindling counties
through the state were first discovered
by States Attorney Allen, who worked
up the ase and finally arrested and
landed Leonard. sending him to the
penitentiary. 1t is difficult to state
just how extensively Leonard de-
frauded various counties and the state.
With two confederates he purchased
wolf scalps wherever he could get
them and palmed them off on auditors
all through the state with afidavits
that he had killed the wolves in the
state, and his total swindling opera
lions aggregated Il large amount.
The whole expenses Of his capture and
prosecution has been borne by Bur-
leigh county up to the present time, al
though the whole state benefited di-
rectly from his apprehension and con-
%viction, and the repayment by the state
of the costs of his apprehension is a
just provision.
