Breakfast was just over at Manor Holt
when Miss Bertha Joel, who took that meal
in her own apartment, entered the room. She
had only been two days in the house, but
already Veronica found her a. trying guest
to entertain Miss Bertha Joel, novelist, was
a woman cropped to the head, and parted at
one side; her complexion was good, though
pallid, and the color of her lips betokened
health. She was tall and strapping in figure,
and she wore gold-rimmed pince-nez across
her Roman nose, which gave an added dig
nifty to her imposing presence.
Good morning. Miss Mannering. Good
morning, Dangerfeld," she said, good-tem-
peredly, nodding her head in salutation. Miss
Joel rarely gave man the complimentary
title before his name; she preferred his sur
name to his Christian name as a mark of
can,araderic. "Ah, I didn't see you" as a
young man rose from behind his newspaper
and bowed.

UNITING COLONIES.
Describes How He Performs
the Delicate Task.

As it may be necessary to double up
some colonies this spring we give the
method followed by Doolittle, the New
York apiarist, in Gleanings:
"For two or three colonies make
box that will hold IL quarts; for
larger colonies one that will hold at
least 20 quarts. One side must be of
wire cloth, nailed on. The other side
should consist of wire cloth nailed to
light frame so it can be easily removed.
A funnel is put into a hole in the top
of the box. Blow little smoke into
the first hive and pound on the top with
the fist, then treat in like manner the
others in succession. In five minutes
from pounding the first hive, the bees
will be filled with honey. Shake the
bees into the funnel, caging the queen
when found. A cloth in the funnel
when not in use keeps the bees in.
Bump the box down SO as to shake the
bees on the bottom, remove the funnel
and cover the hole. Mix the bees shor-
oughly by shaking and tumbling the
box. Bump it down again and drop
into the hole a Gagged queen, having the
cage suspended by wire hooked over
the top of the outside of the box Have
candy enough in the case. Strong col
onies will begin breeding this month
in all attitudes ranging from 40 to 46

FOOD FOR THE PIG.
Unless n Well-ChOsen Variety Is Sc
lected the Highest Success APP
pears Impossible.

Food is fuel, and fuel costs money.
Pigs that in mild temperature, under
certain feed, are doing well, will with
the same feeding cease to gain when
the temperature of the pen drops below
zero. This shows the money value of
comfortable pens, and shows how I'M
wise it is to depend upon the non-con-
Quoting property Of fat to keep cold out,
says Stock and Home.
How little thought is given to this
great subject. Want of discrimination
is common evil, resulting in feeding
young, growing animals the same fat
tening ration given to mature hogs that
are being prepared for market. Max
ing young pigs subsist on corn and
house slop, often mixed with milk,
with no roots, no pumpkins or squash,
no salt, no ashes, nothing to aid di-
gestion and promote health is all
wrong and makes the highest success
impossible. Regularity in feeding is
also matter of great importance. The
good feeder always feeds at the same
hours of the day, and always before
dark at night, which is better than to
rouse the animals up after they have
gone to bed for the night. But what
ever hours the feeding is done, in morn
ing, noon or night, let them be the
same each day.

WAS He BLUFFING?
The Very Disagreenble Revelation OF
a Man Who Was in No
Hurry.

At four o'clock one Friday afternoon not
long ago as Mr.. T was busily engaged at
his desk in a down town office man walked
in and inquired for Mr.. b, who occupies
a desk at the opposite side Of the same Of
fee. Mr.. Thought he recognized the
man as an unwelcome caller. When asked
if Mr.. b was in, without raising his eyes
from the work before him, Mr.. T an
swered, mo, he is not, whereupon the call
er remarked that as he was not very busy he
thought he would sit down and wait
At five o'clock he was still waiting.
At $50, still waiting.
A few minutes before six Mr.. T closed
his desk for the day and prepared to go
home. The caller ventured to ask if Mr..
B, was likely to return to his Office again
that day. Mr.. T. answered:
'No; he is in Buffalo and will be back
next Tuesday morning.
The caller showed no anger. On the con.
trary he smiled.
Don't apologize" he said; "my business
was not important, and your office has
proved a pleasant lounging place. Fact is"
he blandly added, II suppose I'm coming
down with the smallpox and the doctor
told me l must stay indoors and keep
warm"
And Mr. T. anxiously wonders wheth-
er he was lying or not.-Cleveland Plain

Minutes and Seconds,

At least IS centuries B. C. the Baby
lonians used sexagesimal system of
notation. consisting of sari and sossi,
of which we have vestiges when we
reckon 60 minutes to the hour and 60
seconds to the minute, or 5000 seconds
that is, a saros of sossi--to the hour
That we count II pence to the shilling
and 20 shillings to the pound, IL inches
to the foot, 81 hours to the day, 300 de-
grees of longitude around the equator,
90 degrees of latitude from the equator
to the poles, and 60 miles to degree,
may also be traced to the same duo
decimal Babylonian system of numera-
ton, which originally reckoned GO
shekels to the nina and 60 minas to
the talent. All these numbers are fac
tors or multiples of the saros or 60.
Our measures of time, money, or linear
and angular space, are all derived from
the Greeks, who obtained them from
the Habylonians, probably through the
Observation-Disclosures and Queries.

SHEEP AND THEIR CARE.

Fifty sheep make a good flock to keep
together.
Sheep kept on wooden floors will have
ill-shaped hoofs.
Salt the sheep regularly, and not in
too large doses.
Wet land or wet bedding harbors foot
rot and other diseases.
If the eve has weak points select a
ram that is strong i'll those points.
After eve has LANDED feed pretty
freely on oil meal, unless you have en-
silage or roots to feed.
Breeding ewes ought to be kept by
themselves, so that they may not be
under any unnecessary excitement.
If a eve has a weak lamb, be sure to
put her and her lamb where the lamb
cannot be harmed by stronger ones.

1t Increases the Storage Capacity Of
the Soil and Promotes the
Growth of Crops.

Under all circumstances it should be
the farmers aim to conserve the moist
llre in the soil-in the arid regions to
reduce as much as possible the labor
and expense Of irrigation, and in humid
regions to protect crops against
droughts. Various means may be en-
ployed for the purpose of conserving
and economizing the moisture supply
of soils. Subsoiling is one of the most
important of these means. Several of
the stations have made careful studies
Of the influence Of subsoiling on soil
moisture. The Wisconsin station de-
scribes this influence substantially as
follows: Subsoiling (1) increases the
storage capacity of the soil for moist
ure, and (2) increases the rate at which
water will sink into the soil, but (3)
decreases the rate at which it may be
brought back to the surface. Subsoil-
ing also increases the amount of moist
ure available to crops, since plants are
capable of utilizing large proportion
of the moisture present in loose and
coarse-grained soils than of that in
fine-grained and compact soils. AS re-
CARDS the best method of subsoiling, a
report of the Wisconsin station states:
''Subsoiling to be most effective
should be done in such a way as to
leave the soil loose, much as the stub
BILE pillow leaves it. To accomplish this
much will depend upon the character
of the tool and more upon the condi-
ton of the soil when the work is done.
If the soil is to be so wet as to be
plastic when the blowing is done, then
the effect of the subsoil pillow will be
to wedge the portions Of the soil, which
are heavily pressed into an even more
compact and close texture than before,
and thus develop a condition the OPP
posite of that sought. 10 simply form
a long groove or channel in the subsoil
by wedging the dirt aside gives little
aid in the direction sought. Such
work, then, if done at all, should be
done when the subsoil itself is dry
enough, and this is most likely to &C.
cur in the fall after the crop of the
season has withdrawn the moist
IRE from it. Subsoiling late, too, leaves
no time for the soil to lose it's open
texture before the rains to be stored
reach it"

She is a Cuban. Her father was rich
merchant of San Juan.
When the Americans entered San
Juan Aneta decorated the squat, square
house with wreaths and with great knots
of cape jessamine. And she-and the lit
tie colored maid stood at the easement
and clutohed each other and cried and
laughed and tried to sing the strange
marching song which brought the
Americanos intothe city.

Concentrating the Manure.

Very few farmers have enough stable
manure to fertilize all their lands as
they would like. The best thing fer
such farmers to do is to apply this
stable manure mainly to the crops on
which they expect to put the most Of
their labor. 1t does not pay to plant,
cultivate and hoe poor land. Every ad-
dition of manure makes the labor more
effective, and therefore more profit
able. With mineral fertilizers it is
different. These are usually applied to
grain crops, for which dressings of $50
to $50 pounds per acre are usually SUI
ficient for the crop, besides leaving
some to be taken by the clover after
it. These mineral fertilizers so soon
become insoluble in the soil that it does
not pay to apply them in large amounts.
A small quantity each year, sufficient
to make the crop it is applied to, is
much better.-Prairie Farmer.

Pnrsnip. for Dairy Cows.

There is no better root for cows than
the parsnip. 1t has the advantage that
part of the crop may, if need be, be
wintered in the ground where it has
grown. The parsnip, unlike the beet,
makes rich milk. It is equal to the
carrot in this respect, and undoubtedly,
like that root, helps to color winter
made butter. Parsnips are favorite
wiater feed of Jersey and Guernsey
tanners, who by its use have been able
to breed cows whose high butter color
hiss become hereditary in these breeds.
No doubt the parsnip feeding is in part
responsible for the color of Jersey but

removes the greatest harbor for dirt
