Issue if the cells are left to mature
The amount of storage room given a
colony has much to do in governing
swarms, and if the bees are kept con-
fined in the brood chamber of hive ex-
clusively they will swarm more read
lily than if they have unlimited room
to store honey. Some races of bees are
more inclined to swarm than others,
and even some colonies Of the same
race are also more inclined to swarm
than other colonies. The Italian bees
swarm more than the native blacE
bees, and still other varieties are more
persistent in this respect. The Cypr1an
bees are inveterate swarmers, and will
frequently swarm with scarcely any
honey in the hive. The Cyprians are
very prolific breeders and will pro-
duce double the number Of young
queens that other varieties do at
sWarming time.-Ex.

Buff Turkeys,

I have raised buff turkeys for three
years, and I will say that as a practical
farm bird they have no equal in any
turkeys that have ever raised, says a
writer in Michigan Farmer. The rich
buff does not show dirt as white does,
and they are a larger bird than the
White Holland; are just as easy to
raise, and do not stay around the barn
so close that they do not thrive unless
fed all summer, but are between the
bronze and White Holland. Never go
to the neighbors, but still get good
living in the fields.
Then the bronze are SO fond Of roam
ing; you never know where the hen is.
She lays all over the farm, and visits
the farmers all around. And in regard
to extra size, | will say that by Christ
mas my bluffs Will weigh as much as
bronzes, and be fat and fine, while the
bronze tom is all lean and lank till the
middle Of February, and, in fact, at
that time the market quotes heavy
toms cents per pound less than hens
or light toms.

Ventila ting Farm BUILDINGS.

Too little attention is paid to the
proper ventilation Of farm buildings
in summer. To put horses into a sta
BILE where there is no circulation Of air
and have them come out all wet with
sweat is harder on them than the work
they do. Basement stables as a rule
are more poorly ventilated than stables
above ground, for the reason that there
is little chance for air to circulate as
only one end of the stable allows air to
come in. A cellar stable that is damp
and musty does not furnish pure air
for stock and they should not be kept
in such a place long at time. Stables
should be as dark as possible to keep
flies from bothering the horses at this
time of the year. An animal rests but
little at noon or out of harness if it has
to keep up a continual switching and
stamping to keep the flies from eating
it up.

A Cheap Carpet.

Save all paper -four sacks. Begin
ming at the top of sack cut a narrow
strip not quite as wide as carpet rag.
When two sacks are cut in strips, sew
the two together, the same as you
would carpet rags; then wind them into
ball, and so On until you have enough
pounds for the carpet. 1t takes the
same number of pounds to make the
carpet as 1t would of rags, one and one
half pounds per yard. When you have
enough pounds for your carpet get car
pet chain and take it to the carpet
weaver and have it woven, just the
same as you would rag carpet. You
will then have a much prettier carpet
than a rag carpet, and it will wear
longer than rag carpet.

Nell to Martha. 1t was just about
dusk, and a tall man in a macintosh
stood ringing their door bell.

peeping over her sisters shoulder
The door was opened by the maid,
and the visitor shown into the parlor.
Then the maid hurried up stairs, and
Z said to the waiting sisters: He didn't
give no name, Miss Martha, but asked
& if he might see Miss Harper
U Martha took off her white apron, and

pOrtant manner, as she started down
stairs.

Nell enyiOusly.

asking for Miss Harper was not an
every day occurrence. Nell began to
gurmise. 1t might be an agent for
either books, life insurance. or foreign
omissions, or it might be one If the
many lovers Miss Harper had had in
her youth, who had at last come back
to claim her. Nell had known a great
deal about those lovers by hearsay.
Nliss Harper was fond of dwelling
Upon them, and so many times had she
spun out her stories, that she had al
most persuaded herself to believe in
them. Nells incredulity had long since
vanished, and now she began to con-
template her sister claimed, and mar

and happy triumph while she herself

you. Nellie. in regard to this gentle
mans proposal" said Martha.
"A proposal already" gasped Nell
Following her sister into the room.

and quite forgot her miserable antici-
8pations in listening to the visitor.

Miss Harper" he said to Nell. placing
a chair for her gallantly: What l tell
you is strictly confidential. In case
you do not care to favor me as l wish.
I trust to your honor to keep this visit
a secret. You know that there have

Time for lowing Turnips,

While Occasionally, under favorable
conditions a good crop of turnips may
be grown by sowing as late as the mid
die Of August, generally the best re-
suits will be secured by sowing not
later than the middle of July. Have the
soil in good filth and reasonably rich,
so that the plants may get good start
to grow before the weather gets too
hot and dry.
One advantage with turnips is that
If they can not be eaten or sold to an
advantage they can always be fed to
stock profitably.

UclecllNc.
Nell had quite given her heart to this
interesting man, and some rather tend
er passages had taken place between
them. so it was with a pitifully sad
face. she heard him say one morning:
eff all goes as l expect, shall leave
morrow morning"
Then he glanced at Nell, and sighed,
and Nell began to wish that the thieves
might not be found for some months,
at least, or never at all.
That evening Mr.. Hunt went out
completely disguised in red wig and
whiskers. and walked with a decided
limp. so that Nell and Martha laughed
heartily at him, as he went down the
steps. He laughed back at them and
waved his hand.
He did not return at all that night.
nor the next day, and their anxiety
was intense. On the next morning
there came a letter for Nell. and for
tunately Miss Harper had gone to
market. so Nell read it unhindered. 1t
was from Mr. Hunt. He stated that
he had been hastily obliged to leave.
that his life had depended upon it, and
that he wanted her to have his trunk
shipped Immediately, and secretly to
an address enclosed. He gave her
few directions as to how to get his
trunk to the station. and closed his
letter with some words that made her
face flush as it never had before: For
your sake / have been careful of my
life. l have you to live for now. You
will see me again before many weeks.

depends upon it. And TRUST YOU

THE FIRST BABY.
Its Coming is Looked Forward 60
With Both Joy and Fear and its
Safe Arrival is Hailed With
| Pride and Delight by All.

The arrival of the first baby ia the
household is the happiest and most i'm
portant event Of married life. The young
wife who is to become q mother delights
TO think of the happiness in store for her
when the little one shall nestle upon her
breast and latterly she shall hear it lisp
the sweet and holy name, "mother." !"
But her happy anticipation quickly varl-
ishes when she realizes the terrible pain
and suffering through which she must
pass while bringing the little one into
the world. An indescribable fear of the
danger attendant upon the ordeal soon
dissfpates her joyfulnes.
Thousands OF women have learned
by experience that there is absolutely
no necessity for the sufferings which at

Loss From Bad Roads.

No other hypothesis than ignor-
anca of the facts or indifference to
their own interests can explain
why the farming population of
the agricultural States. who do
the bulk of the voting, have allowed
themselves to lose such an
immense aggregate of earnings
annually on account of bad roads.
Through a special agent, appointed
for the purpose, the department of
agriculture has been collecting
data showing ths cost Of bad roads
the country over. Replies from
ten thousand letters addressed TO
reliable farmers and teamsters in
various parts of of the United
States have been received. BY
their contents the conclu-
sion ia reached that the average
cost of hauling a ton distance of
one mile Is rs cents, when for the
same amount q ton can be carried
two hundred miles by water and
fifty miles by rail.
The american farmer is at an
expense three times greater per
mile for hauling his produce than
the European farmer. This is be.
cause the service standards abroad
are a great deal better. This drain
upon the agricultural energies of
the country will continue until
this annual surface treatment is
by system of funda-
mental and permanent construct.

HEAVY Exports From Havana.

Washington, October 1.-The
war department gave out to-day a
statement of exports of mer-
chandise and gold coin at the port
Havana for the first eight months
of American occupation.
One of the most striking features
of the report is the volume of
products that passes month by
month out of the port of Havana
at q time when the agricultu-
raj resources of the island are at
their minimum. If the volume of
business continues for the next
four months at the ratio of the
past months, the export trade of
Havana for the first year of Ameri-
can occupation will exceed the
handsome sum If $29,000,0O0.
The total exports for eight
months were $18,958,57O, the
United States alone taking $13,-
423, All worth, leaving 10 be dis
tributed among twenty other
countries only $5,535,153 worth.
The value of exports Of mer-
chandise to the Unined States was
$12,899,033, and gold coin $53O,374.
Spain took 1915, ,O4O worth of mer-
chanise and $1,803,429 in gold
coin, while France took $685. $50
worth of merchandise and $513,95O
worth of gold coin.

Solicitor Thurmond won the ap.
conscientious manner in which he
discharged his unpleasant, arduous
and trying duties during the last
term of the Court of Sessions.
The management of his cases was
marked With thoroughness and
completeness which impressed
his hearers that he was firm in his
determination to do his whole duty
regardless of consequences. His
examination of witnesses was
courteous and polite, his sole pur-
pose evidently being to bring out
the truth, whole truth and nothing
but the truth, whether that truth
be for or against him, thus making
him an ideal prosecutor, IN
stead of a prosecutor as IA often
the case in some OF court houses.
Before a jury he is logical, clear
and impressive, which makes him
an interesting speaker.
We are glad to notice that he is
pushing the payment of bonds
which have been forfeited by rea-
son of the failure of bailed persons
to appear at the time specified.
By pushing these payments he has
recovered several hundred dollars

have been lost to the counties.
