they have held up owing to the Re

with them to fill the vacancy in the
First ward. This is no reason Tor
the six Democrats holding up the
business of the city and preventing
the passing of the necessary appro-
priation bills. If it still continues,

In their roll of honor published
last evening, of the true Democrats,
the names of Senator Pyle and
Representatives John p. Donohoe

is this thus! They voted for Geo.
Gray for Senator. What have they
done that they should thus purpose

THE PRICE OF BEEF.
1t Is Bound to Remain High Until
Farmers Stop Selling Their

There has been a great deal said about

most of them that it is supply and de.
mand that cause high prices. Some
four or FIVE years ago prices were too

prices, and in place of raising from two
to ten calves they let them suck till
four to six weeks old and sold them in
Chicago for veal. That was the lest
way for them to do at the time.
Now it is different. The western
range cattle are not in such great mum.

Care of Horses Hoofs.

Horses are confined to stables more
in winter than in summer, and as a
consequence their feet are more apt to
become diseased, especially when kept
upon dry board floors. The front feet
are always more affected than the hind,
becoming hard and brittle. To prevent
this, to have little pure cod liver oil
applied once in two or three days by
means of a rag or soft brush is great
aid. Rub over the outside surface of the
hoof and also the frog and sole. APP
ply it at night, and it will have plenty
Of time to penetrate into the horny
substance and dry before using next
morning. It is all important that SUI
perfuous growth be trimmed off occa-

THE FALL WEB WORM.

hilating This Pest.

The Latin name of this worm is Hy-
ohantria cunea. The Colorado Expert
nent station gives the following de-
;cription of this insect: This is a yel-
owish or brownish caterpillar with a
olack head that forms large, loose
web or tent in a great variety of trees,
beginning to appear about the 1st of
July and continuing through the sum-
mer. The larvae are rather sparsely
covered with long hairs that are whit
.sh or yellowish in color, with occa-
sional black ones for variety. This in
sect is readily distinguished from the
Tent caterpillar in habits, as the larvae
IF the fall web worm form a very
loose tent with which they inclose the
leaves upon which they feed, and they
DO not appear until the Tent caterpil-

iars have nearly or quite disappeared.
In the illustration "a" and ''b'' are full
grown larvae showing light and dark
forms is the chrysalis: ''d'' is the
moth, showing dark spots. All are
some enlarged. The lines show the
actual length. Usually the moths are
entirely white.
Remedies.-If the webs are noticed
when small they should be cut out
and the larvae destroyed. If the web
has become large, inclosing many
branches of the tree, it may be better
to burn out the web with a torch.
Where there is no danger of poisoning
fruit, paris green may be sprayed
or busted upon the foliage Immediately
surrounding the web. These leaves will
soon be inclosed for food and the
worms eating them will die.-Farmers'

HINTS FOR SHEPHERDS.

The mistake must not be made in hav-
ing the ram and eve over-fat, but in
good thrifty condition.
The sheep is the greatest scavenger
of the farm. A small flock is of great
value on any farm for this purpose
alone.
Money is not at as great risk in a
sheep as in other farm animals, for,
should he die, we can "take it out of
his hide"
The flock will gather quantities of
nutritious food on the stubble and corn
fields in the fall after the crops have
been harvested.
Roots must enter largely in the ra-
ton for fattening sheep. They save
grain and produce superior quality of
mutton.-Farm Journal. -.

SHALLOW CULTIVATION.
Experiments at the Nebraska Station
COnc1usively Prove That 1t
IL Best for Corn.

A test of the relative values of deep
and shallow cultivation of corn at the
Nebraska experiment station developed
beyond doubt the superiority of the
latter method. Four acres of land were
divided into tracts of one acre each, and
each tract was cultivated with a diff
ferent cultivator, the same one being
used on each throughout the summer
The same number of civilizations were
given in each case. In the fall the corn
was picked from each acre and
weighed. The yield was as follows:
Method of Yield
cultivation. per acre.
Shallow cultivation. .68 bushels
Shallow vation.................69 SO bushels
Shallow cultivation..... SO bushels
The land receiving shallow cultiva-
ton was stirred to a depth of three
inches, that receiving deep cultivation
to depth of six inches. Shallow cul-
tivation for corn possesses two advan-
tages over the other method. In the
first place, by stirring the soil to
depth of only three inches the air does
not penetrate so deeply, and it does not
dry out to such depth. A 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 of soil is dry they
cannot obtain any nourishment from
this portion of the ground.
Another injury to the corn crop from
deep cultivation is the tearing out of
the corn roots by the cultivator shovels
BY pruning these roots the inability. of
the plant to secure nourishment is
greatly hindered and the crop injured
thereby. It is very important that the
cultivation should be sufficiently fire.

QUALITY AND NEWS.

Fame and Excellence Are Determtn.
ing Factors in Successful Develop
ment-One Of the Important Func-
tions Of Hish-Class Newspapers.
In presenting interesting phases of
scientific and economic problems, high
class newspapers frequently give in
formation of as great value in their ad-
vertising columns as in those devoted
to the publication of the principal
events of the day; and when the fame of
a product is extended beyond it's natural
limits into foreign lands, and large de-
mand created throughout Great Britain
and her Colonies and the principal sea-
ports and cities of Europe, Asia and Al
rica, it becomes pleasant duty to note
the fact and to tell of the points of ex-
cellence on which so great success is
based. We refer to the now world
famed laxative remedy, Syrup of Figs,
the product of the California Fig Syrup
Company. The merits of this we'll
known excellent laxative were first
made known to the world through the
medical journals and newspapers of
the United States; and is one of the dis
tinct achievements of the press. It is
now we'll known that Syrup of Figs is
an ethical proprietary remedy, ap-
proved by the most eminent physicians
everywhere, because it is simple and ef-
fective, yet pleasant to the taste and ac-
ceptable to the system, and not only
prompt in it's beneficial effects, but also
wholly free from any unpleasant after
effects. It is frequently referred to as
the remedy of the healthy, because it is
used by people who enjoy good health
and who live we'll and feel we'll and are
we'll informed on all subjects generally,
including laxatives. In order to get it's
beneficial effects, it is necessary to get
the genuine Syrup of Figs, which is
manufactured by the California Fig
Syrup Co. only.

a WORD ABOUT QUEENS
Every Colony OF bees Should Receive
New one before the ,Prin-
cipal Flow Degins.

The bright apiarist requeens colonies
of bees almost every year. While queens
may live three or four years, and In
some case even five years, yet they out
live their usefulness and are not ear so
prolific the second year as they are the
frs t and seldom prove profitable the
third year of their lives. It is true
there are some exceptions, but the above
is the general rule. Old queens usually
quit laying eggs entirely at the close of
the honey season during the fore part of
the summer, and even if the honey flow
continues well on in summer they will
check up on egg production. While good
young queens lay more eggs during the
honey season than old ones, they con-
tinue to lay eggs all summer to some ex-
tent and in autumn months brood will
be. found in their combs, hence such
colonies are in the best condition to sue
cessfully go through the winter, and al
ways come out stronger in the spring.
Old queens are more inclined to swarm,
and will deposit eggs in the queen cell
cups even when the colony is by no
means strong enough. The result is
that the colony will cast small swarms
if allowed to swarm at all, and if pre-
vented by the usual method of removing
the queen cells the old queen seems tc
pout about it and persists in starting
more queen cells and also seems te
make speciality of the queen cell bust
ness, neglects laying generally, and the
result is colony that will store but lit
tie if any surplus honey. Much larger
crops would be the result if each col
ony of bees were to receive a newly
hatched and fertile queen in the early
spring and before the principal flow be
| gan. This method of management
would in great measure prevent swarm
ing and also add to the number of bee.
in the hive, which is the two prim,
requisites in the production of larg'
honey crops. No queen over two year,
old should be retained in a hive and i
will be better still to requiem ever,
year, even if the queens have to be pur
chased at one dollar each, which is tn
usual price of them, but it is muc]
cheaper for everyone who keeps bee
to rear their own queens, which ma,
readily be done even with few hives O
bees. Some queens are far superior t.
others and at the same time may be O

Increasing the Manure Supply.

Never enough manure is made upon
the farm to meet all the needs of the
soil. Where! the farmer lives near city
or town he can often get fresh manure
for the hauling or little more. It is
always. safe to go on the principle, in
getting strange stable manure, that it
is full of weed seeds, and to adopt meas
ures to kill them. Compost such ma
nure in flat piles, mixing with it a con-
siderable quantity of unslaked lime. As
soon as the pile is made soak it thor
oughly and cover it with blanket of
dirt three or four inches thick, slapping
it down with a spade. The lime will
