THE HONEY MAKERS.

Queens can be reared in the spring as
soon as the drones are flying.
Bees consume much less stores in mild
winters than in very cold ones.
Examine the hive. and if you do not
find brood in all stages it is a sign that
the queen is dead.
Do not open hive of bees on a day in
winter when they are not flying briskly
or in any way modest them
Queens over 2 years old are not, as a
rule. profitable to keep Queens / year
old are best, especially when it is desired
to have them breed rapidly. as is often
the case in the spring.
When two queens hatch out at about
the same time in hive. they generally
proceed to fight each other, but it is sci.
dom that both are killed, In this way
sometimes an inferior queen kills an old
laying queen.
If queen is not fortified in two weeks
after she is Matched, she viii often begin
laying without being fortified at all. She
is then called drone laying queen. and
her eggs will not be deposited in regular
order, nor will there be so many of them
fertilized

Finding a Mine

Two cowboys and several sticks of
dynamite very suddenly and unex-
pectedly discovered the Hualipi mines
near Kingman, A. T. The cowboys
were on their way across the territory,
and they had with them several sticks
of dynamite. to be used when they
reached the Colorado river. One day
they camped some seven miles north of
where Kingman now is. They left the
dynamite among some powders at a
distance from the camp for safe keep
ing. The day was unusually hot, and
in some unaccountable way the dyna-
mite went off. The cowboys hurried to
the place of explosion, and even their
inexperienced eyes saw that the dyna-
mite had blown a gold mine into their
pockets. AS high as $4,000 month
has been taken out of this mine.-Phil,

Facts
for Women

Any article, whatever its merit,
must be made known to the public by
means of advertising. Advertising,
however, though it can do muck for a
thing, cannot do everything. 1t may
create sale for a time, but in order
to insure a lasting demand the thing
advertised must have solid worth.
This is the case with Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound. 1t has
solid worth.
Women everywhere have learned
this fact, and the result is that there
is a lasting and absolutely unequaled
demand for it. It has the largest sale
of any remedy for female ills in the
world, and this has been the case for
years.
The reason for this is that Mrs.
Pinkham claims nothing that she is
not entitled to claim. She can do all
that she says she can do, and her
twenty years of experience make her
advice invaluable. Her experience has
been not only long but worldwide,
and she has helped more women back
to health than any one else IN the
world. These facts should, and do,
have immense weight with all sensible
women. Remember these are not wild
statements but solid facts.

: CALVES WITHOUT MILK.
A Correspondent Who Has Decided

Views on the Question.
l do not believe that a good calf can
be raised without milk, says a CORE
spondent of The Rural New Yorker,
and in these days, when good cows are
so highly valued, it seems piece of
the worst kind of shortsightedness
and mismanagement to try TO produce
a first class COW from calf stunted

appear like economy to take the milk
from the calf and sell it to the cream
cry, cheese factory or milk station, but
it is a poor economy. The cows of the
future demand that the calves of to-
day be we'll nourished Ten or -
pounds of new milk daily will carry a
calf nicely until it is 10 days or 2
weeks old. Then, if the milk is made
into butter, there is skimnIilk to feed.
Change from whole to skimmilk grad

ones are not obtainable, and bran or

sour stuff which is balled out at 80
per cent of the cheese factories. Feed
in small quantities at first and increase
gradually while the milk is decreased.
At the same time feed some grain.

or summer months. 1t should be sown
on the surface and pressed in. 1t is
very essential for the soil to be warm.

has been found to be an advantage to
cover the seeds slightly on such lands
When once established, the saltbushes
are able to withstand very severe
drought.
Many lands impregnated with black
alkali may be reclaimed and made to
produce ordinary crops by properly
proportioned dressings of gypsum. By
planting and cropping saltbush large
amounts of alkali are removed from
the soil. Soils which are slightly too
alkaline for the growth of cereals may
be relieved in a few years by this
method. The protein compounds in n
feeding stuff go to form blood, muscle
and sinew and on this account are
often called ''flesh formers" The salt
bushes compare very favorably with
other foods in these most important in
gradients. The digestibility of salt
bushes is probably about the same as
that of oat hay. Horses, cattle, sheep,
hogs and chickens thrive on them. The
saltbushes are more or less succulent
and care should be taken not to allow
stock to gorge themselves when first
turned out on the pastures. The forage
may be fed In the green state with
straw, to the great improvement of the
palatability of the latter.
The saltbushes are herbaceous or
shrubby, usually much branched
plants, and show remarkable adapta-
ton to arid, saline or alkali impreg-
mated Soils Many kinds are now in
cultivation, both native and foreign
Among the most important foreign va
rieties introduced into this country are
Australian saltbush, slender saltbush,
gray saltbush, round leafed saltbush,
annual or bladder saltbush, all natives
of Australia. The American species
of economic value are shad scale, Nut
tails salt sage, splny salt sage, scrub
saltbush, Utah saltbush. tumbling salt
bush and Nelson's saltbush. There
are about 40 species of saltbushes be-
longing to the genus atriplex in the
western states, some of which will
undoubtedly prove to be as valuable
as those introduced from Australia.
They are known to be hardy as re-
CARDS cold as well as resistant to al

There are extensive areas of land SO

A Mile n minnie Down the Ain.


The spot in the Swiss Alps that at
tracts the winter sportsmen of Europe
is the Cresta run, at ST Moritz. which
is just one mile In length. The tobog-
gaming season here begins about the
middle of November, when the first
snow falls. The condition of the run
is not left to chance, but the slide is
prepared under the direction of COM
mittee. Swiss toboggans in contrast to
the Canadian ones, made entirely of
wood, are raised on runners shod with
iron or steel. The expert rider lies
prone upon the toboggan, head fore
most. both hands grasping the frame
work at the sides and both feet en-
ployed in steering Iron spikes are Sc
cured to the toes of the lSJots, and by
trailing one or the other foot along
the ground the big sled may be guided.
But as this fashion of steering tends
to diminish the speed the most skilled
riders use the feet as little as possible
and depend upon shifting the position.
Though the Cresta run is a mile in
length. the whole distance may be COW
cred in 20 seconds. At the steepest
point a mile minute is made.
