WEAVING H G
Expert Experience on n Subject
Which Is Of Utmost Interest
L., to Every Farmer.

/ am aware that there is a great diff
ference of opinion in regard to age
that young pigs should be allowed to
remain with their dam. / have no
fixed rule, as l am guided largely by
the way in which the young pigs are
thriving. l have frequently noticed
that the milk from the dam does not
agree with the young pigs, causing
excessive diarrhoea. and in this case
we wean the pigs at six weeks. but as
a general rule l have found better re-
suits by allowing the pigs to remain
with the dam until eight weeks old.
A great many young pigs are injured
by feeding the sow too literally upon
strong rich food. and not having
much exercise in the open air. 1 would
strongly recommend moderate eXer-
else, with plenty of fresh air, which
is quite as essential as pure food.
After the young pigs are 10 days old
the SOW should be literally fed upon
bran and Underground oats, with the
addition of a small quantity of ground
peas or corn. but great care should
be taken hat the sow should not re-
ceive much grain for about 10 days
after farrowing. Many young pigs
are so seriously injured during this
period hat they never r~ecover.--J. E.

THE FIRST PRINCIPLES.
Cnless They Are Carefully Observed
B~eekeeping Cannot BE Made
q Real Success.

There are a few first principles that
should be remembered by every bee
keeper. Here are some of them:
/. Bees when frightened by smoke
will Immediately gorge themselves
with honey and lose all inclination to
sting.
2. The most vicious co.ony of hybrids
may be controlled by using a little to-
bacco in the smoke.
3. The prosperity of a colony depends
upon the fertility of the queen. If weak
colonies have not become populous in
n season, kill the queen and give them
another.
4. Toads, skunks and mice are great
enemies to bees: see hat they do not
have access to the apiary.
5. Increasing or dividing should be
done as early as possible, but rot until
stores are coming in abundantly.
6. Drones are jus: as essential as any
other bee, but too many are a nuisance.
This may be controlled by cutting out
Grone combs and substituting worker
comb or foundation.
Z. Drones may be prohibited in objec.
tionable colonies by dividing early in
the sF-ing.
S. Keep all colonies strong.-Rober.

ST. r. ACADEMY,


We call the attention of our readers to
the advertisement of St. Mary's Academy
which appears in another column of this pa
per. The 10th year opens September 4th,
1900. We do not need to expatiate upon the
scholastic advantages of St. Mary's for the
catalogue of the school shows the scope of
work included in its curriculum, which is
of the same high standard as that of Vassar
and Bryn Mawr, and is carried out faith
fully in the class rooms. We simply empha-
size the spirit of earnest devotion which
makes every teacher at st. Mary's Loyalty
strive to develop each young girl attendant
there into the truest, noblest, and most in
t~el!igent womanhood. Every advantage of
equipment in the class rooms, laboratories
and study rooms, every care in the matter of
food and clothing, and exceptional excel
lence of climatic conditions-all of these fea-
lures are found at St. Mary's, in the perfec-
ton of development only to be obtained by
the conservation of devoted lives to educa-
tional Christian work, in a spot favored by
the Lord.-The Fine Arts Journal.

When a preparation has an advertised rep
utation that is worldwide, it means that
preparation is meritorious. If you 60 into
a store to buy an article that has achieved
universal popularity like Cascarets Candy
Cathartic for example, you feel it has the
endorsement of the world. The Judgment
of the people is infallible because it is i'm
personal. The retailer who wants to sell you
something else" in place of the article you
ask for, has an ak to grind. Don't it stand to
reason? He's trying to sell something that
IS not what he represents it to be. Why?
Because he expects TO derive an extra profit
our of your credulity. Don't you see
through his little game? The man who viii
try to sell You q substitute for Cascarets
is a fraud. Beware of him! He is trying to
steal the honestly earned benefits of a repu-
tation which another business man has paid
for, and if his conscience will allow him to
go so far, he will go farther. If he cheats
his customer in one way, he will in another
and it is not safe to do business with him.

How to Fight Red Mites.

The red mites are difficult to destroy,
but it can be done. If they are in the
nests of the sitting hens the nests must
be burned. and probably the new nests
viii have to share the same fate. as q
few nits and lice may remain on the
hens Sitting hens are quickly killed
The roosts should be so constructed
that the lice will take refuge in grooves
on the under SIDE, after which the
roosts may be temporarily removed,
the grooves saturated with oil and the
insects destroyed by fire. This will
have to be repeated for some time to
make the work complete.-Farmers

NEW POLICE CATECHISM.
Requisites of a Competent Copper a.
Understood by One OF
the Finest.

Imagine a class of about 40 stalwart men,
each dressed in a blue uniform and attentive
~ listening 10 the words OF wisdom that
emanate from the teachers lips, and you will
have some idea of one of Clerk of the Police
Board Harrison's school classes. Many ridi-
cuious answers are given to questions
and some Of them cause roars Of laugh
ter to ascend to the ceiling. At a recent
class meeting Officer Dan Tehan was asked
to describe the requisite of a good police
man. The answer was honesty, sobriety,
t~ruthfuiness, intelligence and several other
virtues, all of which are noticeable in mem
bers of the police force, says the Cincinnati
Enquirer.
After Tehan had been asked the ques-
tion he chested out and answered in a
sonorous voice.
"Hon-istee, Sobrietee, Troot'fulness.
GUIDE m%or-ruls, Impar-rtialitee, intelli-
eince. a plain addrhriss-an-er-um-
oh, a OWLS own slew av things besoides!"
A roar followed the answer, and Clerk
Harrison, endeavoring to keep his face
straight, asked: Officer Blanchard, what
is extortion?'
And the class broke up when Blanchard's
answer smote the air.
1t was:

WHAT SHE WANTED.
And Her Words of Endearment Never
Moved the Man Behind the
Counter.

A fair young girl, perplexity written en-
her countenance, confronted the pale young
man. He returned her gaze with the i'm
passive stare OF one who had never seen her
before. Had he: Listen, says the Baltimore
American.
In a low. weilmodulated voice, without
the slightest trace OF emotion or excitement,
she says:
Il want you, dear heart. l love you, my
honey. Come back. my baby. Why did you
throw me down! The latch strings always
hanging out for you. I've shook that other
man. You're the only fellow l love. Idon't

Was he moved? No. His face took on a
bored expression, and in a careless tone he
asked:

Yes she half whispered.

are having a special sale on sheet music to-
day, and they are reduced in price. Thank
you"
