ANNIE LAURIE.

Across the sea q fragment, a.
Il Blown with the spray and mist
Shoreward from rosy distances,
81 Where shade and shine hold tryst;
An old song set in colorings
! OF gold and amethyst.
A ship on the horizon
Where misty curtains cling,
Lightly to clearer levels
Her sails of violet swing:
A schooner nearing the harbor-
Listen! The sailors sing:
''Maxwelton braes are bonnie,
Where early fa's the dew.
Twas there sweet Annie Laurie
Gave me her promise true
Oh. the rainbow lights of boyhood
kindle my skies anew.
'Maxwelton braes are bonnie
How sweet that old refrain!
The promises of morning
Break into bloom again.
, And on the lowly roof hear
The music of the rain.
"Maxwelton braes are bonnie"
There's mother at the door.
The cattle down the dusky lane
Are coming as of yOre:
And, mounted on the pasture bars,
swing and sing once more.
''Maxwelton braes are bonnie"
Oh, bonnie maid Of mine.
Thro' all the mists Of distance
Again the dark eyes shine;
The world Is full Of music,
And living seems divine!
Across the sea q fragment,
Blown with the spray and mist
Shoreward from rosy distances,
Where shade and shine hold tryst;
A vision and a memory,

HOW TO HANDLE BEES.
Description Of = self-HiveF sad
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 a queen trap on the hive entrance
of each, populous 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 beehive that is boiling over
with bees, so invented the contriv-
ance herewith shown Gig. y, which
consists of two small pieces Of fat iron
bent at right angles and fastened to the
trap with two screws. To afix the
trap to the hive, slip the fasteners I'm.

Composting Hog Manure.

Manure from hogs ought always to
be composted and mixed with other
excrement to ferment- The excre-
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 La
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 viii.
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.

Pointers ON HOG Raising.

Swine should never be kept in close
pen. Nor should a large number be
kept in a 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
