The Ants Aunt Gives a Picnic.


The Ants Aunt Gives "A Picnic
The ants aunt had to give a picnic,
because she had been invited to so many
places by all her relatives. and she
thought 1t was time to pay back some
Of the invitations.
But it will be such a bother" said the
ants uncle, when he heard about it,
Don't be foolish, now" replied the
ants aunt. We cannot go in society
without going 10 some trouble"
So the ants uncle said that il would be
all right for he always said something
of that kind when his wife talked about
giving a party.
He was sleeping early the next morn
ing, when his wife woke him and said j:
Benjamin. Benjamin, did you remem-
Der to get the lemons and the sugar."

The Organization of the G. A. n.
The success which attended the various
separate organizations brought into prom
nence and gave renewed impetus to the
plan already inaugurated for the estab
lishment of one grand association, the
membership of which should include all
honorably discharged soldiers of the war
of 1876. The early conception of this
organization is largely due to Maj. B. F.
Stephenson and Chaplain w. ]. Rutledge
who, a year before the close Of the war,
commenced laying plans for an organiza-
ton of this character. The plan proposed
separate army posts of the Grand Army
and on the 9Th day of April, 1866, the first
post of the Grand Army of the Republic
was organized a Decatur, Ill

PARASITES IN HIVES.
ur to Exterminate Insects Which
Prey Upon the Honey Accumu-
IatiOns of Bees.

The presence of ants, cockroaches
and other insects of this nature about
bee hives and in supers is largely the
fault of the hive used. Such hives
usually have corners and unoccupled
places in them wherein such insects
harbor. If you have supers that the
bees do not occupy on the hives re-
move them, or learn why the bees do
not 90 to work in them. Such supers
have open places to admit of these in
sects. Ants, cockroaches and such are
not considered damaging to bees to the
extent of bothering with them, except
in cases where the colony is weak and
cannot occupy all the combs or the
hives and supers. In this case the best
remedy is to build the colony up strong,
by feeding or giving it brood from other
colonies, and also removing for the
time being all surplus supers or combs,
AID excluding these pests by shutting
them out of such places. The latest
up-to-date hives and supers do not ad-
nit Of insects, and the different parts
of the hive are not added until the
bees are ready to occupy them.
Ants get in their work of destruc-
ton most by getting on combs OF
honey unoccupied by the bees. They
will soon destroy the appearance OF
sealed comb honey by cutting the cap
pings full of holes. They will thus
congregate on combs of honey if the
receptacles containing the same will
admit of them. They may be entire
" cut off from such by using a table
with the legs set in pals of water or
kerosene. Ants are very peculiar.
They have their roadways from one

GOOD FARM MACHINERY.
In These Days of Competition Fieio
Work Cannot Be Carried On Sue
cessfully without 1t.

Every good farmer recognizes the inn
portance of having a full equipment o:
farm implements and machinery, and IL
fact the difference between a first-ratt
and second-rate farmer is very striking
ly marked in the quality of machines
and implements found upon theii
farms. 1t looks like waste of time
and labor to spend many weeks OF
months time in preparing for croE
and then lessen its chances of growth
by imperfect implements in working
and harvesting it. The thrifty anc
well-posted farmer sees to it that every
implement, or machine, or tool, upon
the place is in frst-cl0ss order, ano
he also sees that these things are OF
the latest pattern and with all inn
provements such as are calculated to
do the work perfectly, with the mini
mum expense of labor; and then be-
sides there is great deal of satisfac'
ton in having things about the farm
that work nicely. There is nothing
more discouraging to farm hand than
to send him out to the field to work
with an imperfect pillow or any sort OF
implement. He is more than likely to
shirk his work, and the chances OF
matured crop are lessened by every day
that he spends in the field with this
sort of machinery. We wish to i'm.
press upon readers the Importance OF
looking after these things right now
It will not be very long until all sorts
of farm machinery will be called to
use, and it will be good policy to pre-
pare everything in use beforehand. we
know that every year some of the old
things about the farm have to be re-
placed. Now is the time to investigate
the merits of new implements and ma
chinery which you will have to buy a
little later on. We advise looking over
catalogues of the things that you may
want to buy and learn for yourself the
merits of the things advertised. Then
when you get ready to make your pur'
chases your mind will be made up as
to just what you want and the selec
ton will be very easy to make. LooH
over these things right now, and 1t viii
save you many dollars little later on

Corn BIN 6X32
FLOOR PLAN OF GRANARY.

bins are provided for meal feeds or
grain if so desired. An oat bin 10 by
IL feet will hold enough for the ordi'
nary farmer. The cleaning alley, 6 by
10 feet, is very essential in cleaning
seed for spring use. The corner posts
are 10 feet high. The attic or upper
floor is used for a storage way Tor
farm tools, sacks, etc. These are hoist
ed by means of trap door, rope and
pulley.
The small grain portion is sided first
with shiplap and over this is placed No.
2 house siding. This adds to the
strength of the building, keeps out beat
ing rains and makes it almost impos'
sible for mice to get into the granary.
The small grain side will hold about
$500 bushels. The alleyway can be
used for storing buggies or when need
ed can be utilized for ear corn. If de-
sired, farm scales can be put in the
nlleyway and there will be no freezing
down or rotting, as they are always un'
der shelter. A stairway leads to the
second story out of the cleaning alley.

Much is written about keeping boys
on the farm, but we cannot see why
boys who are always longing for some
thing different should be compelled to
pass their lives on the farm. If boy
likes farm work and we treat him prop
erly. nine times out of ten he will stay
on the farm of his own accord. These
are the days when farming requires
skilled laborers, and the boy who likes
the work will become the most skillful
through study and experience. But

Table Mountain Ropeway.

The ropeway located at Table noun
tain is an important example OF line
$3.50 feet long. 1t consists of a single
fixed rope on which one carriage is
drawn to and fro with an endless haul
ing rope, the driving gear having re-
yersing motion, so that the direction
of travel of the carrier can be con-
trolled. Commencing at sea level, and
following the ground on posts spaced
about 300 feet apart, the cable takes a
span of 1900 feet, rising to a project
ing rock some 1880 feet above the
starting point. Resting on support
at this point, the cable again takes a
span of 1,4OO feet to an upper terminal
2,2Oo feet above the lower one. This
ropeway has worked so satisfactorily
that it is not only used for the car
rage of materials employed in the
construction of a reservoir, but is at
times used for passengers.-Engineer-
