New Round Skirts.

The newest round skirt from Paris
is either gof1ered, tucked or gathered
at the waist and over the hips; con-
sequently the wearer of it should be
slight, and the cloth must not be too
thick. Other skirts are tucked at the
top and then accordion plated. This
killed cloth is chic and has the ad-
vantage of novelty, but unless care
fully manipulated it will develop into
an unwieldy garment.

Poisonous snakes when with youna
are sluggish and retiring in their
habits. The little ones are born with
tangs and poison glands in full per-
lection, and are dangerous even be-
lore tasting food or water. The young
are much more active than the adults
and probably their poison is more
virulent.
The percolation experiments made
at Rethamsted for about 20 years have
shown that in the winter months more
than half the amount of rain pene-
trates into the soil and is available for
springs, while in summer this amount
only reaches quarter that of rain.
Three gauges were used, each having
an area of one-thousandth of IN acre.
The water was collected at three
depths, and was always greater in
quantity at 40 inches than at 20 or
at 60.
Wherever land is valuable for agri-
cultural purposes the fact that wi,e
fences take up little space is becom-
ing more and more recognized. Some
stone fences are often three to six
feet wide, and therefore, waste many
acres of valuable soil on every farm.
The zigzag fence wastes considerable
amount of land. The hedge is also
wasteful and they may proftably all
be torn down and replaced by wire
fences, for the crops which could be
obtained from the area thus reclaimed
would soon pay for the fence.
DR.. William Calver, a scientist OF
Washington, claims to have solved
problem that has been puzzling the
wise men of the earth for 5000 years,
and says that he has devised method
to utilize the heat of the sun as a sub
stitutue for fuel and power. His dis
covery is based upon the simple prin-
ciple of the burning glass, and by an
arrangement of mirrors he can gather
to focus of few inches all of the
rays of the sun that fall upon an acre
of ground. He can melt iron and
steel as if it were ice, and obtain a
heat of several thousand degrees
Fahrenheit. He also has devised
method by which the natural heat of
the sun, gathered in that way, may
be stored in reservoirs and applied
both to stationary and locomotive
engines. DR.. Calver has laboratory
on the outskirts of the city and has a
number of inventions to his credit in
the patent Office.

NOTES FOR BEEKEEPERS.

Never pull up the cover that the bees
have so closely sealed down unless com
PEELED to do SO.
In all hives there should be three
personages-the queen, the worker bee
and the drone.
Beeleeping combined With fruit
growing enables one to take double
crop from the same land.
Any extra work about the apiary
should be attended to and everything
gotten in readiness before the bees be-
gin to swarm.
Worker bees, being undeveloped fe-
males, may now and then be sufficiently
developed to lay eggs, but their eggs
will produce only Grones.
The worker bee does all the work of
the hive, gathers in the honey, pollen
and water, secretes the wax, builds the
comb, ripens and caps the honey.
When returning frames to the hive,
adjust them slowly and carefully. Do
not slide the frame to its place at one
push; slide it up slowly, just to touch
the next frame.-Maine Farmer.

STORAGE ROOM NEEDED.
An Important Item which UnfOr.
tunnteIy Is Overlooked by quite
Number of Beekeepers.

1t is just as unreasonable to expect
bees to store you crop of surplus
honey, without ample storage-room
properly equipped, as anything can be,
and to complain at the bees for not
doing it is proof sufficient of lack of
intelligence. Yet it is done.
You will occasionally meet an old
"mossback" that will tell you that
bees do not do any good in this coun-
try any more, and that they cannot
make a living here, or they cannot
make n living there, when the facts
are that his remarks are applicable
to himself instead of the bees.
Some who should know better may
also tell you that this country is be-
coming overstocked with bees, when
we all know that there are tens of
thousands of pounds of honey going
to waste for every one pound gath
cred, for want of bees sufficient to
save it.
This country is improving faster in
nectar-producing blossoms by far
than the rate of increase of bees.
While it may be true that some locali-
ties are OVerStOckEu WIN DeeS, yet,
take it as a whole, it would be absurd
to think of.
The amount of storage capacity
properly applied for surplus honey
has all to do with the size of the crop,
and if we do not apply it we fail. We
may have a poor honey flow which
we cannot help, but we can get ready
for it if it comes, and it seldom fails
to pay expenses, to say the least.
The best standard hives are all
equipped with the necessary storage
room for surplus, and if we bring
these into use we seldom make mis-
take i'll this particular.
There is a right time and a wrong
time to add surplus boxes, but as a
rule they should be applied at the be-
ginning of the principal honey flow
of the season. Colonies must be
strong to at once accept them, and
weak colonies should not have them
put on until they become strong. SUI
pers should also be added to a colony
when it is crowded for space in the
brood chamber, and thus prevent it
from swarming, if possible.-A. II.

CHEAP MOTIVE POWER.
A Small Gasoline Engine VIII Do
More work. ut Less Expense,
Than Wind or Water.

The ingenious farmer can contrive
many ways whereby na tural forces may
be made to serve his purposes. He
can so harness water that it will grind
feed, shell corn, saw wood and chop
feed; he can secure the services of the
wind for similar purposes, and there
are gasoline engines, tread powers and
stSam powers ever ready to do his
bidding. These last three are pow
ers which manufacturers have for sale
while the water and wind power may
be secured without much cost.
1t is astonishing how much work car.
be gotten out of little gasoline en-.
gine; it will earn It's price every week
on an ordinary farm. Its feed is cheap
and its durability and strength are re-
markable. And another important
thing is the engine is cheap. 1t can be
used for great variety of work re.
quiring motive power. For running
the corn shelter, ensilage cutter, corn
husker, wheat fan. grain cleaner, bean
huiler, etc, it is great convenience.
The price of gasoline engines makes
their purchase more practicable than
to attempt to secure the services of
the wind or of water. Besides, they
are so much more reliab,e.-Farmer S

SALTING THE SHEEP.
A Method That Has Given Genuine e
Satisfaction to One Who Has
Tried II for Years.

would like to describe an apparatus
they will always have salt before them
and no waste, writes Joseph H. Yoder,
in the National Stockman. For cattle
or horses l would prefer to use rock
salt placed in boxes or troughs for the
winter and scattered about the pas
ture on the grass in summer. Rains
have little effect upon it and this wi&
be found both convenient and econom-
ical. For sheep, however, this plan
does not work so well. The rock salt is
SO slow to dissolve that they are not
able to get sufficient amount of it to
satisfy their wants, hence it is neces-
sary to use the loose salt for them.
DUNG the winter a box can be fastened
up at a convenient place in the shed
and at the proper height so they can
have access to it 1T all times of the day.
In summer if they have not a shed to
run under the box can be fastened to a
gate post and have roof placed over it
SO as to keep out the rain. If it is de-
sired to use loose salt for cattle the
same arrangements can be used as have
already been described for sheep. The
roof over the box should be high
enough to be entirely out of the way
of the animals. Where loose salt is
keep supply in the box all the time, as
the animals are liable to eat too much
if they go without for several days.

Pin the rounds or each side carefully,

be securely fastened at top and bottom,
so that the whole ladder may be per-
fectly rigid. The top can be mortised

are to be used one precaution should

sharp iron points inserted in the lower

Was.
Is French losing ground abroad
that is to say, is it being less spoken
and read by educated people on the
continent than was formerly the
case? This is a question which has
from time TO time given rise to inter
esting discussion, and certain lamen-
tations lately uttered by a Partisan
review have brought it once more
rather prominently to the front, says
the London Telegraph.
There is no doubt that during re-
cent years it has met with formidable
rivals. The tongue OF united Ger
many is more studied than it was in
the olden days, and various enter
prismg nationalities of the smaller
kind are bestowing more attention
on their own language and literature
than they had had the opportunity
of doing for centuries. All this may
be readily admitted. and nothing
could be more natural. The immense
facilities now given to travelling,
the enormous expansion of interna-
ticnal trade and the impulse which
the nationality movement has receiv-
ed were all bound to lead to this re-
suit.
