and endeavor to make 1t brief. The
fact came to me from several sources
that Mr. Needham had bought the
bread that won the first prize in the
recent contest and after looking the
matter up carefully found that such
was the case. That he had induced his
clerk to enter q loaf OF bread he had
bought OF Mrs. Beckwith, who makes
home made bread for living. Mrs.
Beckwith says she furnished him with
the loaf OF bread that drew the prize.
but that neighbor lady had entered
one OF her loayes which she had taken
pains with and was to have had some
of the money II 1t won. That 1t did not

THE HONEY MAKERS.

The first work young bees do is feeding
the brood.
The first swarm is always the cream of
the colony.
After the FIRST warns issue cut out all
the queen cells one.
Granulated sus r is said to be the most
healthy Diet for wintsring bees-much
better thun any quality of honey.
Whenever bees ure allowed to breed too
early in the spring without having good
supply Of pollen they soon dwindle away.
Spring dwindling is always the result
OF bad wintering. 1t is mostly produced
by continuance OF long spell of cold
weather.
To make dividing success, colonies
should be very strong and almost ready
to swarm. Care must be taken not to
get the stock too weak.
On the approach OF warm weather feed
strip made from good quality Of gran
ulated sugar. This will stimulate brood
rearing, aud when the honey season
opens you will have large working force
OF bees.
The size OF the cluster in the hive de-
termines the space occupied by young
brood. The queen. no matter how prolific
layer she is, must be confined to space
occupied by the cluster Of bees.-St. Lou.

Two Hard Days for Mother Hates.
There's just two days that I don't

Said Mother Bates to me
The circus day an July Fourth.
They're hard as they can be.
An when they both come in one week,
It's Just cryin sin
To watch the four boys that own,
An try to keep 'em in.
"Oh, don't mean all day, you know.
But long enough for me
To get 'em of all lookin we'll
An At for folks to see,
An long enough for me to say
Now, boys, don't you forget
.(Not even IL you haven't seen
The entire circus yet)
Come home, for dinner III taste good
An you can go again
An. see the rest this afternoon.
The animals remain
But do you think see a boy
Until the sun is set?
No, not boy-from Bob to Joe
They're round that circus yet.
But IL the circus ended there
/ wouldn't care SO much.
The circus now has just begun,
i get the final touch
For every strap that's in our barn
An every bit Of clothes
That's got button made OF brass
Out in the wood shed goes.
We have q circus then at home
About week or two.
Until my old head nearly bursts
An somethin' comes that's new.
This year the circus didn't last
The Fourth came in next day,
An. I just thought them boys would die
"A workin' hard that way.
At a o'clock they all got up
An each one fired the gun,
An every Twin thing, guess,
Began to jump and run.
But pa and me. We clean forgot
That July Fourth was near,
So night before we went to bed
Without a care or fear,
A thinkin' what blessln' that
! The circus come and went
Without broken arm or two.
An we was just content,
When goodness me! that gun was fired.
An / thought one day more!
| Will all my boys be here tonight
Or on the other shore 2
or Will they turn from white to black
From BLOWN in the gun.
\ Or find that one eye Is enough
To see the July fun?
4 Or Just find out one ann will do
For helpin' on the farm?
i Well. all day long / truly prayed Goo
Keep them boys from harm.
But by an by the end it come
| An Bob was carried in,
His shirt sleeves torn to smithereens,

4 The doctor said oh, he's all right.
For sure we'll pull him thru

As mothers always do.
An forgave him everything
4 He'd done since he was born.
4 An hurried up to make him feel
4 He wasn't as forlorn
4 AS tho he'd shot his head clean Off
i (That's what thought he'd DOB

Just loved him thru and thru.

SubSOiling.

What is known as subsoiliug
is blowing the earth below che
depth at which il is usually
plowed. Where blowing has
been generally but ten inches
the soil below is the subsoil.
This may not be a scientific
way Of speaking of it, but it is
the popular way. There is a
difference between surface plow-
ing and subsoiling, in that the
surface soil is turned upside
down, while the subsoil is
stirred by the subsoiler with out
being brought to the surface.
Subsoiling makes more room
for the development of the
roots, and enables the plant to
extract food and moisture fro m
a greater area. In addition the
capacity for absorbing and re.
tanning moisture is increased
During the heavy fall of mois-
ture in winter and spring the
ground thus obtains and holds
for future use greater supply.
Speaking of newspapers Sam
Jones says: "If 1 wanted to get
a right square judgement,
I'd rather go in a news
paper Office than a court of JUS
tice. No man, whose life is
true, pure and just, is afraid of
all the newspapers in America
They are the best detective
force in the county to-day. They
have punctured more shams,
and, so far as 1 am conc erned,
/ say, take the bride off and
let them go. The ones that will
be hurt Will be the SnamS ana
frauds. And if you think the
newspapers print too much of
a sensational kind, don't you
read it. The papers need to
be reformed, but the people
have got to reform first. News
papers are printed for money,
and to suit their patrons. If
you think they are run on a
high moral platform, like Bar.
NUNS circus, just reform your
selves, and the paper will fol-
low suit"
