CABBAGE PALMS.

The palm known as the cabbage
grows 10 a great height, some measur-
Hing 10 feet There is an avenue of
palms almost this height in Cayenne,
French Guiana.
The cabbage palm has its name from
the fact that the heart of the tree from
which the leaves spring is often boiled
ps we boil cabbage. 1t is sometimes
fnade into pickles.
The wood of the cabbage palm. which
Is very close and hard, split longitud-
inally, is made into cutters. but is too
thin for any other purpose, unless it
be the manufacture of canes.
When the lower leaves of the cab
bage palm drop the broad part of the
knotstalk forms hollow trough. some
Zines utilized by negro mothers as
cradles for their babies. Cut up, it
hakes excellent splints for fractures;
the inside of the green leaves when
Stripped and dried forms an excellent
substitute for vellum and the tender
pellice on the inside of the footstalks
answers the purpose of writing paper.

CROPS FOR THE BEES.
Their Cultivation Is Rapidly DecOm.
ing Necessity in Many Sections
of the Country.

Even in California where flowers are
as abundant as the sands on the sea-
shore flower crops are raised ostensibly
for the bees. But the flowers there have
commercial value, or at least their
seeds do, and the apiarist adds another
source to his income.
But in reality this is possible any
where. The bee-keeper should also be
a specialist in some other kind of farm
ing. Fruit-growing seems to go natur-
ally with Bookkeeping, for the flowers
of the fruit trees furnish abundant
nectar for the bees. Then when the
fruit blossoms have disappeared buck
wheat can be sown in the orchard to
yield more food late in the season.
Clover raised in the orchard also fur
nishes good honey for the insects.
Where cut flowers can be sold to ad-
vantage, it pays to raise them on large
scale, with the double purpose of feed
ing the bees, and of selling the flowers
and plants. One may undertake this
business on small scale by coufining
the work to the production of ANIMALS
and hardy perennials. Then no hot
houses or greenhouses will be needed
to increase the initial expense. Con-
siderable success has been attained in
this way by women as well as by men.
One might think of many other crops
that would be suitable for the bees. One
man added dairying to his bee-keeping.
a neighboring grass pasture was sown
with the seeds of wild flowers, and an
upland field with clover From the two
he raised enough milk and butter to
supply the house and make several hum
dred dollars year besides. He calcu-
lated that the pasture fields yielded
him as much return in the shape of
honey as in milk and butter.-Annie C.
Webster, in Journal of Agriculture.

CHEAP CORN CRIB.

outside the cribbing as a stsy when the
corn is put in. A cen,er post is not
needed unless a larger crib is made.
Wires run just above the top of the Sec
ond tier of Stating from one post to
ant Their will make them perfectly
solid 1t is best to have a board floor
laid on the ground, though this is not
necessary in this state if the crib is in
welldrained place. To assist in
scooping when the crib is to be emptied,
at least two bolrds should be laid from
the door through the center The sec
ond tier need not be put on until the
first is filled with corn. thus doing away
with much high scooping in emp4ying
the wagons.
To provide for door to remove the
corn, the fastening of the lower tier
should come by Que of the posts, to
which one end should be firmly fast
ened. The other end should be doubled
back two feet, where another post four
feet high is set firmly in the ground.
The cribbing is loubled around this
post and fastened there. To close this
opening, have short pieces of boards
from two and n half to three feet long
to place crossways of the opening as
the corn is filled in, the pressure from
the inside holding them in place. No
door is needed in the upper half of the
crib.
When filled it should be well rounded
up, as the corn will settle more or less.
For covering, cat willow or other
branches from six to eight feet long
and lay on the top, with the butts to-
ward the center. Fasten the butts to
the center post, if any, or together if
not. so there will Le no danger of their
blowing off, On these throw load of
long slough grass, if any is to be had,
or anything else, if not. that win turn
rain. Over this faaten wires from one
post to another, binding the roof firm
ly on. There will be no danger of
spoiled corn in this crib, as it will keep
perfectly dry.
When the crbisempty it can be taken
down, rolled up and placed out of the
way or can be used for pig or chicken
rens. The cash cost of the crib does
not exceed two dollars.-J. L. Irwin, in

FLOOR PLAN OF ICE HOUSE.

FLOOR PLAN OF ICE HOUSE.
These should correspond in length to
the others. The floor inside this last set
is foot or so higher than the remain
der. The house is to be entered from the
front, where a door should be made.
The roof is composed of rough boards or
even straw; anything that will turn sun
and rain.
In packing the ice, straw and chaff
may be used. Begin by taking poles
cut to the required length, and build
ing up the inside wall of the ice house
ms you would an old-fashioned railpen.
Build about foot at time, then pack
in the ice, filling in all the chinks be-
tween the cakes with ice and chaff.
Then pack straw between the two
walls tightly. 1t is much handler, in
taking out the ice if the layers are
kept distinct. When full, cover over
with straw, leaving space between the
top and the roof. There is little trouble
in keeping ice if the drainage is good,
which this sort of house insures, pro-
vided there is way for the nccumula-
ting water in the bottom to escape. This
is easily accomplished by means of
few Joints of tile or wooden trough

NOTES FOR BEEKEEpERs.

Give strong colony plenty of en-
trance room.
Sulphur will destroy the moth larvae
in old combs.
Use foundations to control the num-
Der of drones
With plenty of stores brood rearing
goes on rapidly.
An apiary is best located on the south
or east side of slope.
Worthless queens may be detected by
the broods they produce.
Bees should not be allowed to be-
come entirely destitute of honey.
We cannot expect straight combs to
be built in hives that are not plumb.
Honey should never be heated to the
boiling point; it destroys the flavor.
Early in the spring is one of the very
best times for moving the bees. The
combs then are light and the colony the
smallest of any time of the year.
If the hives are resting directly on
the ground it will produce dampness,
which is against the best welfare Of
the bees at this time.-St. Louis Re-
public

DIAGRAM OF RROODER.

five-inch drum opening into the space
between the floor and the sheet iron.
Around the top of the drum are open
ings that let the hot air out into the
brooder. Now comes the improvement.
The top of the drum formerly extend
ed out from il some two or three inches.
1t now extends out for ten inches all
around the drum and from the outer
edge flannel curtain is hung, inclosing
circular space with the drum in the
center. The curtain is "slashed" up
every three inches. Within this curtain
will be the warmest place in the brood
er. 1t will always be warm in there. II
it becomes too warm the chicks will 90
outside the curtain. The addition of
this inclosed hover renders Z practical
ly impossible for the chickens to be
chilled or overheated and makes very
excellent brooder into one that cannot
well be improved.
The dotted line shows where the
cover can be placed for an inside brood
er. If it is to be used out of doors it
must have a sloping cover. Put two
lights of glass either in the cover or in
opposite sides.-Orange Judd Farmer.

MUD AND MATRIMONY.
Perplexities Endured by Newly
Married Couple on Account of
impassable Roads.

A paper published at Towson. Balti-
moro county. Nd, recently published
the following from one of its country
correspondents:
"A reception was given by Mr.. and Mrs
William Shepherd few nights ago at their
residence on My Lady's manor Unfortu-
nately Mr.. Shepherd was not present He
was detained on the road in moving a
heavy load of furniture from Baltimore
to his nome His team became stalled on
account of the bad condition OF the road
and he did not arrive home uutil after mid
night. These are some of the perplex-
tiles newly married people have to endure
sometimes"
From league member we learn that
1.-THE parties had been married only
few days before, and this was the re-
ception givenat the groom's home after
their return from their bridal tour.
Think of the groom having TO miss his
own reception by reason of bad roads,
and imagine the feelings of the bridel"

Drawing Manure in winter.

There are many advantages and some
disadvantages in drawing manure from
the barnyard nearly as fast as it is
made. Among the latter is not, how
ever, the danger that the manure so
drawn will waste by the washing of
rains and melting SHOWS the present
winter. The far greater danger is that
the manure will be inert all through
winter and spring. and will only begin

DELICATE CHICKENS.
Their Production for City Markets
Has Developed Into Quite
Little Industry.

For some ten years past certain lit
tie industry has been progressing--an
industry ofluXury, viz: the production
of delicate chickens. You have certain
ly eaten some, for on select tables these
little chickens, OF the size of pigeon,
have been seen for some time. Each
person has his chicken. and such a
chicken! Succulent. tender. juicy flesh!
The director of the school of bird
culture of Gambler tells how these deli
cate chickens are obtained. The young
chicks are given food in which milk
forms the basis of the nourish ment.
Hence the name milk chickens" This
food is made Of barley -four mixed in
boiled milk. This is fed exclusively
and il produces a delicate and fine fla
vored flesh. The milk chicken should
be eaten when it is at the age of from
six weeks to two months. At that age
II is heavy, plump. and should weigh,
at six weeks. four-ffths of pound.
The little chicken of the farmyard and
fields. which picks up its food behind
its mother, is without taste compared
with the milk chicken" The flesh of
the latter may be served to conva-
leacents and invalids when no other
flesh is permissible.-Em $. Windsor,
In Ohio Farmer.

EXCELLENT cLoD CRUsHER,

true concerning the cloG.crusher pic
tured herewith. for not only is il useful
for crushing lumpy soil but also for
rolling and smoothing land
As can be seen. it is very simple to
make. three logs as even IN size and as
round and true as possible being fast
ened inside a framework by round
spikes (heavy wire aails) driven
through the side pieces into the logs. in
which manner the logs can turn freely.
Where large, carefully made land
roller is not at hand. this easily con-
structed substitute is serviceabe. for If
necessary. it can be weighted Freder-

four four by four inch posts were set
in the ground IA feet high, with four
plates at the top to hold the posts in
position and keep them plumb. The
roof was placed in position before the
posts were set up, having the corners at
the cave ends of the roof set so as to
permit the roof tc slide up or down on
or between the posts. Holes were bored
in the posts to put in pins to hold the
roof up. When il is time to begin
stacking. fasten the roof at the top Of
the posts and begin the stack between
the posts. Build TO finish. or in case
there is not enough hay cut, put in

A CHEAP CoRN-CRIB,
IL Holds 500 Bushels and Its Total
Cost Need Not Exceed q Few
Dollars.

The farmer Is often forced to sell corn
when picked because of lack in crib
room. thereby losing considerable ON
account of the low prices at that time
OF the year. Often he can make double
the money by holding his crop few
months. But to do this he must have
his corn stored in dry place OF stand
the loss of much if not all left exposed
to the weather. In Fig. we give .

ed temporary crib. holding 500 bushels.
They can be made to hold any amount
desired.
