how many bees are clustered, all over
the trap, it can be removed in an in
slant without even jar; when a swarm
issues the queen remains in the trap
confined in an apartment by herself.
I then remove the old hive and place
an empty one in it's stead, also remov-
ing the queen trap with the queen, and
then sit in the shade and watch results.
Invariably the swarm will return in ten
to twenty minutes and enter the empty
hive, for the bees mark the location
and come back to their old stand after
they have missed their queen. I then
release the queen and let her run in
with the swarm. I have had three
queenless swarms hanging in one clus-
ter, but when they break cluster they
returned to their respective hives. I
have also had them return and cluster
all on one hive. Of course, such mass
of bees could not all enter, so would
take dustpan and brush and divide
them up. l could not get the right
bees and queens together, but that
seemed to make little difference.
I have tested quite a few swarm
catchers, but have found none to give
such thorough satisfaction as this sim

swarm Catcher Which Are
Great Labor Savers.

In an apiary of 60 colonies or more
it frequently happens that several
swarms issue simultaneously, and, of
course, always cluster together in one
huge mass. If the queens are at large
with the bees the cluster will neces-
sarily be hived as one swarm, and the
queens will kill each other, until only
one survives. TO prevent this loss, a
week or so before swarming time I
slip queen trap on the hive entrance
of each popplous colony. Just word
about attaching the queen trap. The
directions which accompany the traps
are to fasten it to tie hive with two
nails. Now, it is not the best thing for
the beekeeper or his neighbors to ham,
mer on a beehive that is boiling over
with bees, so I invented the contriv-
ance herewith shown Gig. y, which
consists of two small pieces of fiat iron
bent at right angles and fastened to the
trap with two screws. To affix the
trap to the hive, slip the fasteners I'M

USES OF DEAD HORSES.
In These Days OF Industrial Rivnlr:
and Economy Every Part Finds
Profitable Use.

The leg bones are very hard and
white and are used for handles OF
pocket and table cutlery, says the
Horse World.
The tail and name are especially
valuable, as from these are made the
hair cloth of commerce.
The ribs and head are burned to
make bone black, after they have
been treated for the glue that is in
them.
The phosphate of lime, acted upon
by sulphuric acid and calcined with
carbon, produces phosphorus for lu-
offer matches.
The short hair taken from the hide
is used to stuff cushions and horse
collars, thus the dead are made to
minister to the comfort of the living.
The hide furnishes waterproof
leather known to the trade as cordo-
van, and is used for the manufacture
of high-class hunting and wading
boots.
There is an animal oil yielded in the
cooking process which is deadly
poison, and enters into the compost
ton of many insecticides and vermi-
fuges.
In calcining of horses bones the
vapors arising are condensed and
form the chief source of carbonate
of ammonia, which constitutes the
base of nearly all ammoniacal salts.
The hoofs of the animal are re-
moved and after being boiled to ex-
tract the oil from them, the horny
substance is shipped to the manufac-
turers Of combs and what are known
as Mikado goods.
The bones to make glue are dis.
solved in muriatic acid. which takes
the phosphate of lime away, the soft
element retaining the shape of the
bone is dissolved in boiling water,
cast into squares and dried on nets.

WOOD VOICES.
n. OAK

NV woods with many voices speak to
NY Southern woods that are my home
and kin.
Their wide arms welcome me, to lose
therein
Allworldly care, and wander forth as free
AS in dear childhood days used to be.
In springtime, when the earliest buds
begin
To waken, and the wild March breezes
The jasmines swee. response, then every
tree
Gives greeting as I pass beneath the
bough:
Love and have hope" they say, "for
God is good"
And when the world is clad in pride Of
May,
Heart. sing for joy, as we are sing
ing now
'Listen!' so speak the voices of the wood:
'Love and be glad; for God is love-" they
say.
Still to my soul the woods their sermons
preach
When breathless summer burns the
grasses dry.
And Tapped in, quivering heat the broad
fields lie. rw
The leaves are languid yet in murmur-
They tell each other what the tall pines
teach:
Love and be patient; bide His time
they sigh
The solemn pines that soar up toward
the sky
So far it almost seems within their reach.
And while the golden autumn loiters by,
No melancholy mars it's fading glow
Even while the brief, sharp winter-tide
is here,
Still are my great pines green against
the sky,
And they and leafless boughs alike
breathe low:
'Love and be strong; have faith, for God
is near"

The Eecundity of Parasites.

A certain authority has stated that
single female louise may become the
grandmother of 10000 in eight weeks
time. Some other parasitic insects
are said to breed even more rapidly.
There is but one way to eNterminate
them and that is to kill the first one
as quickly as possible before it has
an opportunity for breeding. This
is not so difficult if one pays atten-
ton to the matter, and as soon as
their presence is suspected uses any
good reliable remedy for them, OF
which there are many, although we
know of none more efficient than ker-
osene emulsion, or mixture of kero-
sene one pint in four pints of skim
milk. In that proportion it may be
used safely by sponge or cloth. rub
bling it into the skin. We remember
when it was as unusual to see calves
in the spring that were not troubled
with lice as it is now to find a flock
of poultry without them. and we hope
another half century will Danish them
from the poultry yard as generally
as the last half century has from the
calf pen.

Pointer. ON HOG Raising.

Swine should never be kept in close
pen. Nor should a large number be
kept in small lot. think that every
hog, of whatever kind, should have a
good shelter from rain and snow, both
summer and winter. For winter shell
ter prefer a small house three or four
feet high made of logs or boards. and
as near wind-proof as possible. 1t
should be large enough only for six or
eight head. Blue grass is the best fall,
winter and spring pasture we have
here, but clover is the best for late
spring and summer. Rape has never
been tried here till this season, and it
may take the place of clover to some
extent--D. r. Dunihue, in Farmers
Review.

Composing HOG Manure.

Manure from hogs ought always to
be composted and mixed with other
excrement to ferment. The eNcre-
ment from pigs does not heat readily,
and when drawn on the land to be
spread thinly before being plowed
under it will not ferment sufficiently
to do much good the first season. If
mixed with the excrement from
horses the faults of each help to cor
rect those of the other. Horse ex-
crement heats too rapidly and is liza
BILE to frefang or be burned in the
heap, leaving nothing but the ash as
manure. Some farmers make hog
yard back of their stables, allowing
the hogs to root over the piles of
horse manure which are thrown OF
from granted horses. If the horses
are fed on whole grain the hogs will
get thus a good deal of their keep,
and ON roofing over the horse manure
their own excrement will be mixed
with it.-American Cultivator.

Of its vast forests. Outside of the limited
areas of BIG TREES in California. there are
no such forests of pine, fir, hemlock, spruce,
cedar. etc., as are found here. The trees
ars long and straight, and the massive tim.
bers and fine shingles made from them are
shipped all over the world.
Washington Fruit is q product of great
value. Its flavor and color are unsurpassed.
East of the Cascade mountains, the climate
is dry and warm, and irrigation is neces-
sary. This makes the farmer independent
of rain. West of the mountains irrigation
is unnecessary and the rainfall is ample for
all purposes. Canneries and fruit drying
establishments can be operated proftably
in this state. Grain, hops and alfalfa are
very profitable crops, and beet sugar is
rapidly making Roadway.
Washington is a coming empire. Brains
are in demand in all professions, and labor
is wanted and is paid remunerative prices.
