SENSIBLE BEE TALK.
When Properly Managed the Apiary
2ts@ Pays ~ Fair a Profit ms Any
Other Farm Industry.

It costs some 40 to so cents q hive
to use full sheets of foundation in all
the frames, and about the@s same for
each super in the section boxes. What
is the gain? There will be little or no
drone comb. The useless drones in
hive will consume more. than 50
cents worth of sugar in season.
The more drones reared, the less
worker bees there will be to store
honey, says the American 3Cultiyator.
The workers which would occupy
the space that the drone comb fills
might store so cents or a dollars
worth. of honey in season. Much
honey would have been used up in
making the comb for which the foun-
dation is a substitute. We think we
speak within bounds when we say that
every half dollars worth of founda-
ton used in a good colony will add
from one to three dollars to the value
of honey gathered in season, and
when one is working for extracted
honey so that he can put the empty
combs back, the gain may be more.

the advice given before-allow drone
comb only in the best colonies, those
that are gentle and good honey gath
ere's, that these qualities may be
transmitted through the male parent
of the workers as we'll as through the
| queen. There has been little atten-
tion paid to this by even the best bee
keepers, but we think it is Important,
and if it has not been prover so, it is
time some one did prove it. Do not
allow the bees to be crowded Tor room
to work in and store their honey.
When super is from one-half to two
thirds full, raise it up and put an
other under it that they may work in
both. By the time the top one is
capped over, it will. be time to put a
third one underneath it. With plen-
ty of room there will be less tendency
to late swarming.

'sIndians!" he called to them, .
soon as they were within earshot.
But they don't seem to be on lookout
for us at all. They're fooling with
some buffalo over here" 4 :..'.., .s.{53ss s=5
Crawling to the crest, leaving his
hat behind, Dean peered over into the
swale beyond, and this was what he

Half a mile away to the east the
low, concave sweep Of the prairie was
cut by the jagged banks and curves
of a watercourse which, drained the
melting SHOWS in earlier spring. Along
the further bank dozen buffalo were
placidly grazing, unconscious of the
fact that in the shallow, dry ravine
itself half dozen young Indians
Sioux, apparently - were lurking,
awaiting the nearer coming Of the
herd, whose leaders, at least, were
gradually approaching the edge.
Away down to the northeast, toward
the distant Powder river, the shallow
stream bed trended, and, following
the pointing finger of the scout who
crawled to his side, Dean gazed and
saw a confused mass of slowly moving
objects, betrayed for miles by the
light cloud of dust that lowered over
them, covering many an acre of the
prairie, stretching away down the
vale. Even before he could unsling
his field glass and gaze, his plainscraft
told him what was slowly, steadily
approaching, as though to cross his
front-an Indian village, big one,
on the move to the mountains, bound
perhaps for the famous race course of
the Sioux, grand amphitheater in
the southern hills.
And even as they gazed, two tiny
jets of flame and smoke shot from the
ravine edge there below them, and be-
fore tie dull reports could reach their
ears the foremost bison dropped on his
knees and then rolled over on the SOD;
and then came the order, at sound of
which, back among the halted troop
ers. every carbine leaped from its
socket.

Dig Success with Sheep.

Every little while we come across
accounts of men, who, in a small
way, have made splendid money out OF
sheep. One of the latest is that of an
Iowa man bought some Cotswold ewes
two years ago at SO per head. He kept
them until they raised two crops OF
lambs for him and sold. them for S4.25
apiece. The first year their fleeces ay-
eraged 111a pounds. the second year 12.
One crop Of lambs brought S.. so per 100
pounds, the other $3.50. All the owner
did to fatten them was to give them
corn husks' and timothy hay and let
them run in the yard where he was fat

IS EASILY CURED.
Feathcr-Eating Hens Are Not Vicious
But Victims of a Disease That
Yields to Simple Treatment.

The New York Experiment station
recently published bulletin on
Feather eating" among fowls. The
report makes a number of observa-
tions on this habit, suggesting that it
is the result of lack of nitrogenous
matter in the feed and citing expert
ments where fresh cut bone, lear
meat, etc., were fed. ''The vice." the
report says, "is very uncommon
among fowls that have exercise and
variety of food, and it is most eco'
nomical to prevent it's appearance By
careful feeding, but as the spread is
rapid even under a ration which does
not ordinarily seem to encourage it's
development, the vice should be
stamped out by the death or removal
of the first offender"
The editor of the Farm and Dairy,
New South Wales, calls attention to
the fact of the failure to mention the
true cause of Feather eating" ''It
is now well-known fact,"' says the
editor, "that feather eating is due to a
minute parasite (sarcoptis laevis)
which feeds at the roots of the feath-
ers, thus irritating the bird and caus-
ing them to pluck out their own
feathers. Where feathers are pulled
out by other birds, it is due to the
presence of lice, for which they are
searching
The prevention and remedy, says
the editor, are simple, as the mite dis
ease is contagious. Isolation of the af-
fected bird is the first step, especially
if it be a cock. The mites yield read
lily to treatment of one part of creo.

ly the lively mule teams would come
along the winding trail at a spanking
trot. Then the troop would open out
to, right and left and let them take the
lead, giving the dust in exchange, and
once more the rapid march would be-
gin. 1t was four p. m. when the shad-
ows of the mules ears and heads came
jerking into view beside them, and,
guiding. his horse to the right, Dean
loosed rein and prepared to trot by the
open doorway of the stout, black-cov-
cred wagon The young engineer Of
1icer, sitting on the front seat, nodded
cordially to the cavalryman. He had
known and liked him at the Point. He
had sympathized with him in the
vague difference with the quartermas-
ter. He. had to listen to sneering
things. Burleigh was telling the aid
de-camp about young linesmen in gen
eral and Dean in particular, stocking
the staff officer with opinions which he
hoped and intended should reach the
department commanders ears. The
engineer disbelieved, but was in no po-
sition to disprove. His station was at
Omaha, far from the scene of cavalry
exploits in fort or field. Burleigh's Of
fee and depot were in this new,
crowded, bustling frontier town, filled
with temptation to men so far re-
moved from the influences of home and
civilization, and Burleigh doubtless
saw and knew much to warrant his
generalities. But he knew no wrong Of
Dean, for that young soldier, as has
been said, had spent all but few mid
winter months at hard, vigorous work
in the field, had been to Gate City and
Fort Emory only twice, and then un-
der orders that called for prompt re-
turn to Fetterman. Any man with an
eye for human nature could see at a
glance, as Dean saw, that both the aid
and his big friend, the quartermaster,
had been exchanging comments at the
boys expense. He had shouted a
CHEEKY salutation to the engineer in
answer to his friendly nod, then turned
in saddle and looked squarely at the
two on the back seat, and the con-
straint in their manner, the almost suf-
len look in their faces, told the story
without words. r

been. He hated any species of back
biting, and he had heard of Burleigh
as an adept in the art, and man to be
feared. Signaling to his sergeant to
keep the column opened out, as the
prairie was almost level now on every
side, he rode swiftly on, revolving in
his mind how to meet and checkmate
Burleigh's insidious moves, for in
stinctively he felt he was already at
work. The general in command in
those days was not field soldier by
any means. His Office was far away
at the banks of the Missouri, and all
he knew Of what was actually going
on in his department he derived from
official written reports; much that
was neither official nor reliable. he
learned from officers of Burleigh's
stamp, and Dean had never yet set eyes
on him. In the engineer he felt he had
a friend on whom he could rely, and he
determined to seek his. counsel at the
campfire that very night, meantime to
hold his peace.
They were trotting through shall
low depression at the moment, the
two spring wagons guarded and es-
corted by, some 80 dusty. hardy
looking troopers. In the second, the
yellow ambulance, Brooks was
stretched at length, taking it easy,
an attendant jogging alongside. Be-
hind them came third, q big quar-
termaster's wagon, drawn by six mules
and loaded with tentage and rations.
Out some 300 yards to the right and
left rode little squads as Aankers.
Out beyond them, further still, often
cut off from view by low waves of
prairie, were individual troopers, rid
ing as lookouts, while far to the front,
full 600 yards, three or four others,
spreading over the front on each side
of the twisting trail, moved rapidly
from crest to crest, always carefully
scanning the country ahead before rid
ing up to the summit. And now, as
Deans eyes turned from his charges
to look along the sky line to the east,
he saw sudden sign Of excitement and
conamot otion at the front. "a sergeant,
riding with two troopersa midway be
tween him and those foremost scouts,
was eagerly signaling to him with his
broad brimmed hat. Three Of the
black dots along the gently rising
slope FAR ahead had leaped from their

Cleveland's last administration, was
nominated on the first ballot. Hill

Mr.. Major, the famous cement man, of New
York, explains some very interesting facts
about Majors Cement.
The multitudes who use this standard article
know thai it is many hundred per cent better
than other cements for which similar claims are
made but a great many do not know why. The
simple reason is that Mr.. Major uses the best
materials ever discovered and other manufaC-
tureTs do not use them, because they are too eX-
pensive and do not allow large profits. Mr..
Major tells us that one of the elements of his
cement COS S 1915 pound, and another costs
S265 gallon, while large share of the so-called
cementS and liquid glue upon the market are
nothing more than sixteen cent glue, dissolved
in water or citric acid, and in some cases, alter
ed slightly in color and order by the addition of
cheap and useless materials.
Majors cement retails for fifteen cents and
twenty-five cents bottle, and when "A dealer
tries to sell a substitute you can depend upon it
that his only object is to make larger profit.
The profit on Majors cement is as much as
any dealer ought 10 make on any cement And
this is dOubly true in view of the fact that each
dealer gets his share of the benefit of Mr..
Majors advertising, which now amounts to over
$4,000 a month, throughout the country. Estab-
llshed in 1876.
