Winter Bee Notes.

Among timely bee notes \. II. Duff
advises in Farm, Field and Fireside as
follows:
If you find good many dead bees
outside the entrance of the hives after
the bees have taken a fly during win
ter, 1t is n good sign that they are
strong enough to clean out their hives,
If you find colony that have no dead
bees at the entrance, you may conclude
it is dead or so weak 1t is unable to dc
business.
Do not offer to feed liquid food in
winter to your bees, for 1t is almost
sure death to the colony. Begin feed
ing liquid feed after the weather turns
warm in early spring and the bees are
flying daily.
You can erect wlndbreaks at any
time during winter without molesting
the bees. and if not already done, do il
now. as it will pay you for the time
and expense.
Make some candy from the best
grades of sugar, and give 1t to the bees
that you find scarce of stores about
mldwinter or little later.

One Pc Didn't Get.

The following story of Ben Butler
was told Is: 4 man who said he was
present on tie occasion:
shortly after the war General But
Ter delivered Il lecture 1T Pixies Opera
House in Cincinnati The general was
well on to the climax Of his speech
when slowly from the flies overhead
descended Il large wooden spoon on the
end of string Down and down il
came until it reached n point two OF
three inches above the speakers head
and then ii stopped.
"Thc audience. OF course, was con
vulscd with ilirth. but owing to his
well known visual in1irmity the gen
eral was the last to discover the spoon
and indeed would probably not have
noticed it at all except that in making
an emphatic gesture to italiciZe point
his hand struck the suspended spoon.
Looking up. he recognized the enc
my and took in the situation at a
glance. Without any sign of emhar-
rassment or confusion he detached il
from the string and with the remark,
Hello. there's one | didn't get laid il
down on the stage and triumphantly
finished his address"

THE CITIZEN.
POLE BEANS UNDER GLASS.


Good Forcing Crop, Affording n
New Opportunity to Gardeners.
The forcing of dwarf or brush beans
under glass has been q fayorite prac-
tee at certain seasons of the year with
most gardeners, but it is believed that
the experiments of Professor f. w
Rane of the New Hampshire statioR,
begun in 1867. In the forcing of the
pole or running varieties are perhaps
the first of their kind to claim atten-
tion. The pole bean. Ike cucumbers,
tomatoes trained to one stem, sweet
corn, etc, must have plenty of head
room or space above the bench or bed
In which to develop. Doubtless this
accounts for its not having been con
sidered before. The modern lettuce
and cucumber house, with the beds di-
rectIy on the ground. are well adapted
for this crop.
Professor Rane's experience as sum
med up by himself was very satisfac-
tory and appears to open up another
new avenue for the energies of enter
prising market gardeners. His conclu-
sions are:
Pole beans should be include5 in the
list of vegetables adapted for forcing
under glass.
The requisites for forcing pole beans
under glass are practically the same
as for bush beans. sweet corn. melons,
cucumbers. etc. night temperature
of not less than 60 degrees, with 10 de
grees or more higher during the day.
The hanfse should be kept moist, and
the sol likewise should never become
very dry.
The house adapted for forcing pole
beans should have considerable space
above the beds. ranging about eight
feet.
Pole beans thrive well in almost any
good fertile greenhouse soil In this
respect they resemble corn.
The time from termination until ma
turlty varies with different varieties.
The range for those tested was from
81 to 62 days.
Much time is saved by starting the
seed in pots, precaution being taken
not to allow the plant to become pot
bound before transplanting. The plants
should be In their permanent positions
before they begin TO run.
The varieties that were found to do
well when tested were Mastiff Golden
Pod. Early Golden Cluster and Golden
Champion. named in order of produc-
tiveness.
A cord trellis is preferable to the or
binary bean pole for training up the

Army FIOgging.

Soon after General Gatacre was ap-
pointed an ensign In the Seventy sew
enth foot he turned out with the com
pany to which he was attached to wit
ness the flogging of a soldier. The
man, who had been convicted of seri-
GUS offense and was later to be drum
med out of the corps, took his punish
ment badly. screaming great deal.
Ensign Gatacre shut his eyes and turn
ed white in the face, as though he
would. faint. When the punishment
was over, he remarked to his color SER
geant, IF see much more of this. III

The "noncom" responded. You'll get

USED to it? I'm sure | never shall!'
responded the ensign. Flogging in the
army was soon abolished, however
and the future general remained in the
service.

plants. They are more evenly distrib-
uted by the use Of the cord, and, too,
the shade from the pole is avoided.
Practically no trouble from insects
or fungus attended the growing of this
crop. One variety developed a slight
tendency to pod rot at the last picking.
Red spider and mite, which have been
reported as troublesome In forcing
dwarf beans, are kept In check by
maintaining a moist atmosphere.
Where bush beans can be made q
success as n main crop, with house
adapted for them, pole beans, we be
lieve, will be found much more pro
ductive, area for area, and hence more
profitable.

Crimson Clover.

This crop closely follows rye in the
feeding rotation and has proved very
valuable in New Jersey. 1t has been
proved to be quite as hardy as the red
clover and has yielded from S to II
tons of green forage per acre, depend
ing upon the method of seeding. wheth-
er on raw ground or as a cover crop.
Experience in the growth of this crop
indicates that July is the best month
for seeding, though it may be seeded ae
late as September and do well provided
the autumn is moist and warm. The
best crop results are obtained when the
soil is thoroughly prepared and the
seed lightly covered With harrow or
other tool which does not cover too
deeply The amount of seed may range
from 10 to 10 pounds per acre. On
freshly prepared soil the smaller Quan-
tity frequently answers quite as well
ms the larger, though when seeded in
corn or other crop the larger quantity
is preferable.

LONDON, Feb 17.--What is known

peril once more obscures the pacific
international aspect Of affairs. AS
viewed by the Man-in-the-Street, the
definite news shows that in spite of
denials, Russia has advanced a strong
force within striking distance of Her
at, and whether she intends this as
distinct demonstration against Al
ghanistan or merely as blind to draw
of attention from or ultimately assist
her objects in the Persian Gu.f, Is
merely a matter of 6urmise. Whatever
all this really means, a large portion
of the British public and press Is de
voting serious attention to that time
