The ST. Croix range in West Superior
is to receive a great deal of attention
from the mining world the coming sum
mer. 1t is probable that several town
sites will he established along the range
at different points. Railroads will be run
over the range, opening up heretofore
unsettled part of tn, county with its vast
resources in mineral and agricultural
wealth. The $500" road is new building
this way and the line will have 10 come
through the st. Croix range to make the
connections that are intended with the
Duluth, South Shore and Atlantic. The
Duluth and ST. Croix road is a broad
gauge logging road that is used for log
ging purposes now, but was put i'll by the
Empire Lumber Company in as good a
manner as possible looking 10 the open
ing up of the country in the near future
and the extension of the road to West
Superior and then down to Grantsburg.
Most of the activity in the St. Croix dis
trct is expected TO come from the work
OF the st. Croix Consolidated Copper
Mines Company, which now controls
about $4,000 acres o. land with mineral
showings upon it. This company pro-
poses to do large amount OF work at
twelve different localities on the st. Croix
range and general rush of settlers is ex-
pected by the mining men. All condi-
tons are favorable for he development
of the mines that wouh seem to exist
there and for the buildii up Of towns
in that neighhorhood.

Notes for Beekeepers.


Drones do not live so long as work
ers.
Bees can e, dry cold, but not
dampness.
Good vinegar may be made from
honey
More bees are lost in wintering than
by disease.
Lack of ventilation is the cause of
dampness in many hives.
Combs cost the bees about ten pounds
of honey for every pound of comb.
The life of the bee depends on the
its life is shortest.
1t is a serious mistake to let colony
of bees become oyerstocked with
drones.
To secure the best results in be-
keeping good movable hives should be
used.
Guides for the brood frames and
boxes need not be more than an inch
in width
Bees should not be moved during the
winter, nor should they be disturbed
or molested in any way.
All empty frames of combs should be
well taken care of during the winter
when not in use.
The worst enemy to empty combs in
winter is nice; If allowed access to
them they vill destroy them.
Successful wintering of bees depends
to great xtent on the right kind OF
fall management.
If cole Mes are fond short Of pro
visions during the winter they may be
supplied with food in the shape OF
candy.
The entrance to the hives should be
contracted during the winter. Three
inches long and three-eighths wide is
sufficient.
2ees seldom. if ever, take fly while
there is much snow on the ground. Ii
they are in proper condition they viii
not fly at all.-St Louis Republic.

Because a man is working for wages
on farm or anywhere else it is not
necessary to make him feel that he is
a mental or a mere machine to be
wound up every day to run for so many
hours. / never worked as farm
hand, but during some ten years or
more in business houses in the city
only had one employer who gave me
TO understand that ! was nothing but
a machine to run ten hours n day. |
only stayed with III a veal; another
year would have killed me. Every
man in whose employ | was, this one
excepted, made me feel that | had
some responsibility outside of the gen
eral routine of my work. These men
would discuss methods and ask advice,
and it was no unusual thing for me to
be left in full charge of the business
for weeks, and in one instance several
months. In every day | was made
feel that the success of the business
somewhat depended upon me. l was
not only to do certain amount of
work, but was expected to have eyes
and ears open and be ever on the alert
to further the interests Of the firm. and
that l succeeded in so doing is one of
the happy memories of life.
If our farmer community would ele
vate the position of the farmland by
the same kind of treatment that the
successful business man of to-day en-
ploys toward those in his service there
would soon bp a better class of helm in
the field, brainy, thinking. seeing

Growing Table Beets.

Upon a sandy loan land which had
been for ten years heavily manfred and
cropped with table beets and celery, it
was found by the New Jersey station
that the use of nitrate of soda in
amounts varying from four hundred
10 seven hundred pounds per acre, in
three equal applications, FASTENED the
maturing of the crop. At the first pull
ing and making of two-pound punches,
there was 63 per cent. more on nitrated
plots than on those without the nitrate
At a secoJd pulling. four days later,
the nitrated plots gave 135 per cent
more lunches. and at third pulling,
three days later, there was liz per
cent more. after which they produced
about equal amounts. The greatest
gain per acre by use Of nitrate was
where they used seven hundred pounds
per acre. S2710 more than where nj
trate was not used. This vas due to
the higher price obtained for the earlier
pullings. and amounted to about So for

Stealing from the Farm.

A man can steal from a bank, mer-
chant or Il corporation, but he can not
steal from old mother earth on the
farm. The soil may be robbed in a
sense by being made to grow worthless
products. but the man is never bene-
flied thereby A man may beat his
'1eighbors. bu' he can never beat his
farm. 1t is always and ever true that
whatsoever a man soweth that shall he
also reap.-Field and Farm.

Poor Butter versus Bntterine.

SORES AND
ULCERS.

Sores and Ulcers never become chronic
unless the blood is in poor condition lis
sluggish, weak and unable to throw OFT
the poisons that accumulate in it. The
system must be relieved of the unhealthy
matter through the sore, and great danger
to life would follow should 1t heal before
the blood has been made pure and healthy
and ali impurities eliminated from the sys-
tenn. SIS. begins the cure by FIRST cleans
ing and invigorating the blood, building
up the general health and removing from
the system a CONSTANT DRAM
e eIe matter UPON THE SYSTEM.
When this has been accomplished the dis
charge gradually ceases, and the sore or
ulcer heals 1t is the tendency of these old
indolent sores TO grow worse and worse,
and eventually to destroy the bones. Local
applications, while soothing and to some
extent alleviate pain, cannot reach the seat
of the trouble. S. S. S. does, and no matter
how apparently hopeless your condition,
even though your constitution has broken
down, il will bring relief when nothing
else can. 1t supplies the rich, pure blood
necessary TO heal the sore and nourish
the debilitated, diseased body.
