Hard to Get out.

An English woman who has been
travelling in Russia seems to have found
it easier to get in than to get out of
the ears country. She sent her pass
port to the authorities before starting
in order to have it vised and then
blithely made for the frontier.
Arriving there she was Immediately
detained and taken before the powers
that not only be, but also do, at the
Russian frontier. Here she was In
formed that her passport did not per-
nit her to leave the country and that
she would be obliged to make herself
comfortable while the police found out
all she had done while in the country.
At first she was rather pleased at
the thought of how she would tell her
friends about it when she got home.
But when she found that she had to
pay not only for her room. her meals,
service and all that sort of thing, but
also for long kilograms which the au-
thorities were exchanging in regard to
her case, her pleasure dwindled as rap
idly as her funds did.
She finally got off. however, but
without receiving any apology or any
reimbursement.-New York Sun.

Feeding Qualities of ArtichoIee

Fee0lnB Aual1tleS or AFf1ehOkeS.
A report recently received at the de-
partment of agriculture from the Ore
gon station contains some interesting
and valuable information concerning
the food value of artichokes. To de-
termine the proportion of rations for
farm animals that can be profitably
made up of these tubers the Oregon
station fed six thrifty Berkshire pigs
which had been running on wheat
stubble and weighed from III to 215
pounds. For two months the pigs
were fed on artichokes supplemented
by a small ration of equal parts of
chopped wheat and oats. An effort was
made at the outset to comDel the pigs
to subsist on diet of artichOkes alone.
but in the absence of grain there was
very little gain. and the pigs were not
contented. They were vigorous in their
demands for something more substan-
tial. The artichokes were grown near
the pens. so that the pigs could have
access to them whenever they desired.
The tubers were left in the ground for
the pigs to root out as they were need
ed A portion of the plat was measur-
ed and the artichokes dug to determine
the yield. which was found to be TAO
bushels per acre. During the expert
ment the six pigs consumed the artI-
chokes grown on one-eighth acre and
made a total gain in live weight of 244
pounds, or an average daily gain per
pig of O.S1 pound. The pigs consumed
during the period 1866 pounds Of grain
or at the rate of 81 pounds of grain
for each pound Of gain in live weight
In other experiments 1t had been
found that it required about five
pounds Of mixed grain for each pound
of gain in live weight On this basis
the feeding of the artichokes resulted
In saving of nearly two pounds Of
grain for each pound of gain in live
weight

THE HONEY HUNTERS.

1t is mistake to let colony of bees
be oyerstocked with drones.
The life of a bee depends upon the
work it does. When it works, its life is
shortened.
Each frame of comb in hive should
occupy 1I5 inches of space, taking caG
to space with exactness.
A worker grub can be transmitted with
a queen if it is as old as 5 or days. but
generally such queens are not fully de-
veloped.
At intervals during the summer, when
the bees cannot gather honey, the queens
quit laying and the strength Of the colony
is curtailed
A swarm of bees hiyed upon full set
of combs al the opening of the honey sea

ready for surplus boxes.
Drones are the male bees. Their use
fuIness extends only to the fertilization
of queens. If bees are allowed to build
their own comb. there is always an excess
of drone comb.
To introduce a queen colony should
be made queenless some three or four
days prior to introducing the new queen.
The bees will take more kindly to her,
