He had been very ill for three years,

Somebody suggested Dodd's Kidney
Pills. Mr.. Landeman used two boxes.
He is completely cured, and besides
losing all his Kidney Trouble, his gem

No case that has occurred in St. Jo-

GOOD STRONG QUEEN.
The Importance of Having One IN
Every Colony Can Scarcely he
Overestlmated.

When the beekeeper finds that in
the same apiary, and perhaps side by
side, he has two colonies, one of
which produces less than half
as much as the average of the
whole. and the other double the
average, or four times as much as the
first, he cannot help but think that
one must have very poor queen, who
produced but little brood, and the
other a prolific queen, with vigor
enough to give an active working COLI
ony. We are not sure but that some
bees are like some men, ''born tired, ;"
by reason of lack of strength and
vitality in their parents, says the Mas
sachusetts Plowman.
But whatever the cause, there are
few beekeepers who have not had as
much or more difference as this in
colonies in the same apiary, and we
know of but one remedy. Destroy
the queen of the poor colony and all
queen cells found in it, and give a new
queen or queen cell with egg or lar
va in it from a better colony. Then
destroy every drone comb in such
hives, that the queen may not mate
with them, for they probably have
the same faults as their inheritance
as the other bees, and the power to
transmit it as we'll as the queen. No
matter if you know that the colony
was weakened by neglect to keep
warm last winter or by being short
of stores. If the queen does not rap
idly remedy the trouble by rearing a
new and large brood when the bees
are we'll fed, follow the same plan. If
the condition of such colony is
learned in The spring, the better way
is to break it up, and give the bees
to other colonies, where they may
work out the short term of their ex-
istence.
AS was said at the beekeepers' con-
vention at Ontario last winter, to be
good honey producers the colony
must be industrious, numerous. of the
right age at the right time, long lived
and long tongued. This depends upon
the queen to very large extent,
Wn1le we 90 not kHo" 10 NHd1 SN'ChC
it depends upon the queen that was
the parent of the drone she met in
her fight. When all are good queens
there will be no drones but OF good
blood. and beekeepers are beginning
to consider this: so that we may ex-
pect by and by to see advertised
young queens for sale from colony

statement also of the record of the

HEROINE OF THE CIVIL WAR.

dedicated to the memory of brave
Iowa girl. 1t will bear these legends:

crates while making bread for the
union soldiers in the little brick
house of her sister, right in the
stormiest and most dangerous part
of the three days battle-ground. The
first day of the battle she drew and
carried water from the windlass well,
and filled the canteens of the union
soldiers, amid the shrieking of shells
and the awful din of the battle.
For 80 years her grave has remained
unmarked. The movement for a
monument started in 1899, at the
close of the national encampment at
Philadelphia, when the Iowa women
spent day at Gettysburg, and re-
solved to render homage to the mem
ory of the brave Pennsylvania girl.
The money is now all raised. The
monument is to be of Barre granite

How to XIII Ground Moles.

Ground moles, aside from the dam
age they do to growing plants by lift
ing them or disturbing their roots,
are rather a friend than an enemy.
They are insectivorous, and it is in
searching out grubs and cutworms
that they make tunnels. These tun-
nels are merely traps, into which the
worms fall and are picked up by the
mole in his rounds. Persistent
tramping in of his runs will drive
him to parts of the garden or lawn
where he will do no. harm. However,
if he must be killed, it can be easily
done. Open his tunnel, saturate some
waste with bisulphide of carbon, put
it into the hole, and cover with dirt.
The fumes will permeate the whole
system of tunnels, and kill all animal
life there. Don't poison grain; he
won't eat it. L. Irwin, in Farm
and Fireside.

Weevils In Grain Bins.

If you have put weevil-infested
grain in bins, go at once and stop
the pests from continuing their de-
structive work. Spread clean sacks
over the grain and have the covers
all ready to close down tight. Now
take pint of gasoline to every 50
bushels of wheat in the bin and pour
It over the sacks that lie on the
grain; close the lids and throw ex-
ira sacks or covers over all to keep
the air out and the fumes in, and
leave the fumes for "a hours to do
their work. Then raise the lids and
the odor will pass off and the weevil
will trouble no more. Of course bic
sulphide of carbon will have the Same
effect; but the writer believes from
trial that gasoline is just as good.
and it is certainly more available and
cheaper. The above suggestion APP
plies also to the new wheat pest, the
anguomois grain moth.-Farm jour.

PREPARING WHEAT LAND.
Success Of This Crop Depe nds Largely
Upon Selection Of Appropriate
Soil and Good Tulaxe.

The success of this crop depends
largely upon the selection of land
and the preparation of the soil. The
light, sandy and gravelly loan soils
which are known as natural wheat
land are where this grain fourishes,
if the plant elements needed for this
crop are abundant and available, yet
clay soils with proper manipulation
do yield paying crops.
As wheat requires large supply
of nitrogen for good growth, and has
at the same time little ability to
store it, unless available in the soil,
care should be taken to plant where
the soil is rich in this plant food ele-
ment. Clover sod, if broken and
sown to some spring crop that re-
quires good tillage, will yield a
profitable wheat crop.
''Plow early for wheat" is a max
i'm that should not be forgotten.
Wheat land must be plowed early to
give ample time for preparation of
the seed bed, which must be fine and
firm. Large yields are often not
possible, even in favorable seasons,
because of the poorly prepared seed
beds. One must not give heed to
the number of times the land is har-
rowed, but keep going until the
ground is in right condition. If pre-
pairing oat stubble or sod ground, the
land can be frequently worked, and
successful wheat grower advises do
ing this after each shower as soon
as the ground is dry enough to per-
nit.
The soil must be firm but mellow.
Think how small grain of wheat is.
To have it start we'll it must have a
well-prepared seed bed, where it does
not have to send it's roots down for
some inches before it finds suitable
feeding ground, as it does when the
surface is cloddy. Start the plows on
the wheat land as soon as weather
and condition of soil will permit

PoultrJmen who own cows and have
surplus milk have decided advantage
over those who do not. Milk is both
food and drink, and At this season is
especially beneficial to the growing
birds. A safe way to supply it is to
heat it scalding hot, and when it has
cooled let them drink as much as they
want within an hour in the morning. 1t
should then be disposed of and the ves-

USEFUL SOIL ROLLER.
Man of Ordinary Ability Can
Make One Mt Home.

Fig. shows the roller complete.
The roller is made of II rims from
the drive wheels of old binders, iron
outside and white oak inside. 1t is in
three sections, the center being made
of five rims; the outside of three
each. To fasten rims together, take
three pieces of rock elm or oak, 2x3,
and bolt on inside of rims, as shown
at a, Fig. l. All the sections are
bolted together in the same man
ner.
Holes are drilled through the tire
of the binder rims to bolt on these
three crosspieces. Each section for
bearings on ends takes two pieces of
