"HAvE n WITH MEv,
A Club Whose Purpose Il to Break Up

New York Evening Sun.

The origin of the treating habit is lost in
the dust of the obscure ages. All that we
may be certain of is, that it began some
how, somewhere and sometime. that Ii per-
sists as a manifestation of social life, and
that it is a custom so deeply rooted as
practically to resist all efforts to remove it.
Now we may be sure that treating began in
a remote past, when men first realized the
fascination and under stood the effects of
the of intoxicants. 1t was. no
doubt. born in a spirit of hospitality, not of
greed: q product of that sentiment of reci-
procity which seeks to cheer but not TO in

1t was on the veranda of one of the sum
mer hotels that the mother of a small boy
was trying to talk to another woman, but
was compelled TO divide her attention. The
son was capricious to say the least. First,
he was crying because she had told him he
couldn't do something, then he cried be-
cause he didn't want TO do that after all.
and then he wept because he didn't know
what else to do. Il suppose he ought TO be

In an almost incredibly short time he fin
ished, gave a triumphant yell that could
have been heard far across the high-walled
valley and along the ribbon-like dust
streaks that pass Tor roads in that section,
got his water vessel from the fence corner
and started for home. Glad as he was to
leave the field he could not resist the temp
tation to stop for a moment and gloat over
the vanquished field, where the victorious
corn hosts proudly waved their banners
above the fallen foe and boosted of their
invincible ally, man; and he contrasted his
feelings now with those that had tortured
his breast when he had begun to work
alone. Then he hurried on to dinner.
Only once. as he crossed the field that
interviewed between the cornfield end the
woods above the orchard. did his buoyant
spirits droop. In the flush OF his triumph
there had come to him a realization of the
comparative insigniicance Of his victory.

POULTRY POINTERS,

Dark feathers usually cover a dark
skin.
Lazy hens lay on fat; busy hens lay
eggs.
Milk and bran for growth; milk and
meal for fat.
Do not allow the droppings to accunu-
late i'll summer.
Corn, when fed exclusively to the lay
ing hens, has tendency to fatten rather
than to produce eggs.
Reports of extraordinary profits from
one hen should be no guide in making an
estimate on any particular breed. The
average is the guide.
The objection to feeding cayenne pep
per and other condiments is that they
have tendency to disorganize the
stomach and to produce indigestion.
The odor of Carolina tar applied on the
cracks and joints of the poultry house is
beneficial to the health of the fowls
Crude carbolic acid applied on the perch
es is beneficial.
Early Matched pullets should be kept
growing steadily, so as to be reasonably
well matured by early winter. and then
can be depended upon to lay regularly
through the winter.
One of the most important items in
raising goslings is to keep them dry and
warm when they are first Matched. After
they get reasonably we'll feathered they

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

Unfruitful orchards. as a rule. are SO
because the soil is deficient in plant food.
In all transplanting it is essential that
the soil comes in close contact with the
roots.
Fruit trees may be planted in the yard
for ornament and for fragrance as well
as for fruit.
The best raspberries, plums and pears
have been grown where poultry has been
allowed to run.
Trees must be fed just as any other
plant is fed. Many an orchard is simply
starved to death.
Cultivation in the orchard while the
trees are growing tends to induce the
roots to grow deeper.
To cause quick, strong growth of
roses and carnations use nitrate of soda
solution in watering.
Thinning out of the wormy and imper-
feet specimens Of fruit should be done as
soon as they can be distinguished.
Set a piece Of stiff cardboard or bend a
piece OF tin around cabbage and tomato
plants az protection against cut worms.

THE HONEY HUNTERS.

Bees work faithfully and at the same
time board themselves.
Bees are hard stock to fence, but
rarely fail to come home
A grapevine trained to trellis on the
south side makes good protection.
1t has never been definitely determined
just how far bees will fiy for honey.
There are three classes of worker bees
in colony-nurse bee, wax workers and
honey gatherers.
The life of bees during the working sea
son is brief, and it requires good laying
queen to keep up the force in the hive.
As it requires ten times as long to pro-
duce pound of wax as pound of honey.
it is evident that it is economical to use
foundation.
Italian bees are generally admitted as
being superior to black bees. as they are
less liable to get mad. are better workers
and are more easily controlled.
Queens may be reared in late summer
and autumn by making Queenless a hive
that has the necessary young brood aud
eggs to produce queens. Drones may be
in Queenless colonies.
1t is useless to expect bees to work in
surplus when they have space unified in
the body of the hive. If it is a new
swarm, they will fill the hive first. If it
is an old one, they will fill the hive with
brood or honey tirst.-St. Louis Republic.
