summer time when it is too hot to shut
the coops with the tight doors. The

STATE PENSIONS FOR AGED.
English Workmen Are Entitled to
Assistance When Disabled
by Years.

The spread of educated socialism la
Great Britain is also factor in fos-
tering their feeling of industrial SELF
respect. 1t is intoxicating a higher
conception of the dignity and rights
of workers in complex community
dependent entirely upon labor the es-
sential elements of existence. These
ideas are terminating "a large ard
liberal discomfort" at the unequal
fortunes and fate of labor and capital
in the industrial partnership of so
ciety, and before the growth and
spread of this new spirit the work
house and other Objectionable fca-
lures Of the existing poor law system
are menaced with radical and funda-
mental change, if not with a CON-
piete abolition.
The popular demand for state PEN
sions for the aged and deserving poor
is based upon other grounds as rea-
sonable and sound as the argument
against the injustice of the poorhouse
and its callous stigma of pauperism.
This demand asks for justice, as a
substitute for charity, at the hands
of ruling capitalistic class. 1t is
claimed that wages. even at trades
union rates, are regulated more by
the struggle for existence among
competing workers than by any
standard of fairness in the measure
ment of labor's share in the joint pro-
duction of wealth. This contention is
sustained in its force by the known
enormous wealth of the English cap
italistio class, on the one hand. and.
on the other. by the attested fac.
that one of every four or five workers
at the age of 65 has nothing to look
to in his helpless years but the poor
house or outdoor relief. Statistics
confirm the truth of this contention.

tention which leads to the same con-
clusion; namely, that there is no

BEES IN THE SPRING.
Why 1t Is Not Advisable to Remove
Them from the Cellar Before
the Weather Is Settled.

There are often warm DAYS in the
early spring when bees might be re-
moved from the cellar, but the trouble
is that winter is not always over with
the advent of the first spring-like day.
There may be several days, or even
two or three weeks, of quite warm
weather, in which the willows. alders.
elms and soft naples bloom, and it is
really desirable that the bees enjoy all
these advantages; but such fine
weather, when it comes early, is quite
likely to be followed by freezing wealth
er OF several days. duration, and even
by snowstorm. The fine weather en-
courages the bees to fill their combs
with brood that would eventually pro-
duce workers ready for the fields inst
at the opening of the first white clover
blossoms, but the cold drives the bees
into compact cluster in the center of
the hive. leaving half the brood. per-
haps more, unprotected. This brood
perishes; besides, the newly-hatched
bees, IT any there are, are tender. like
> newly-hatched chicken, and easily
succumb to cold. The old bees have
lost a good deal of their vitality and
the cold snap is the 'slast straw need
ed to send them to the bottom of the
h1ve.-Farm and Home.

Horses Require Cut Feed.

While the horse is kept during win
ter mostly in the stable whole oats
are probably better feed for him than
meal. The hulls of the oats. as farm
ers say, tickle his insides'' and in
crease the activity of his digestion
Some oats may pass through undi-
gested, but unless the horse is old
and has lost his teeth this loss NAV
be overlooked. Anyway, the fowls
viii get them. After eight years of
oge horses should be fed cut bav
-noistened, and with meal on it. But
any horse that is hard at work every
day should have his grain in meal and
on cut hay. The meal is chewed with
the cut hay, just as oats would be.
IT is well mixed with saliva when II
enters the horses small stomach and
passes into the intestines. So it does
the greatest good possible for the nu-
triton it contains. All old farmers
say that horses will stand hard work
better on cut feed than on either
whole grain or meal.-American Guilt.

Down 10000 Feet for cold.

After the unfortunate war in South
Africa is over. scientific problem of
much interest will be presented to the
engineers of the Transvaal gold mines
Some of the shafts recently opened on
the rand are expected to go down 1000
or 5000 feet in search of gold-bearine
veins, but in the future, Mr.. John Yates
says, 1t may be necessary to descend
$4,000 feet. That, he thinks. will be
about the limit of depth at which men
can work. because the temperature
there will be at least 100 degrees Fair

feet lower through the adoption of de-
vices for cooling the air.-Youth's Com

A SUCCESSFUL FARMER.

Within three miles of the town go
Ing eastward is the farm of Mr.. w.
Creamer, one of the municipalities
largest and most prosperous mixed
farmers. Mr.. Creamer came to this
country in 1850 and settled on a por-
ton of the land which comprises his
present enormous farm OF 1850 acres.
In common with many others of q
similar period he experienced all the
hardships and difficulties common to
the absence of railway and market fa-
cilities. In no wise daunted, by en-
ergy, industry and indomitable will
he has been able to surmount all OBJ
stacles and has achieved an unpar-
alleled success, and is known through
out the district as one of its preemi-
nent farmers. His operations extend
over 1880 acres, two sections (the
thought alone of so much land makes
the eastern farmer dizzy); 500 acres
of this is broken and the remainder
is excellent pasture land and wood.
This harvest he took off crop Of
500 acres of wheat and 200 of other
grains. Four hundred acres are
plowed and ready for wheat next
spring. Mr.. Creamer is, as has been
stated, a mixed farmer of no mean
proportions, having at the present
time 40 horses, 60 head Of cattle and
30 pigs. The most modern farm
buildings are found on his premises,
the main building being barn IS
feet square on stone foundation
containing stabling for 16 horses and
a large number OF cattle. The loft
is stored with 80 loads of sheaf oats
for feed and tons of hay; there is
also cutting box. Another building
of large dimensions is the granary. in
which after teaming large quantities
to market he still has stored 5000
bushels of wheat. A crushing ma
chine is in the building. There are q
number of lesser buildings contain
ing chicken house, pig pens and cattle
