Less than 80 days remain before the gates
Of the Pan-American Exposition are closed
forever. During the crisp, cool days OF DC
tober Buffalo is at her best, and those who
have delayed their visit until now WILL have
the most delightful weather of the year in
which to enjoy the wonders OF the Rainbow

In planning your trip you will probably
want to go east of Buffalo, and it will be
well to keep in mind how pleasantly this
may be done over the picturesque Lack
awanna Railroad.
The same low rates are in force over the
Lackawanna Railroad as during midsum-

the Lackawanna System Is q journey long
to be remembered. Through the Delaware

A WORD ABOUT QUEENS.
Longevity of bees 10 a Subject Which
Apiarists Can No Longer At
ford to Ignore.

Says DR.. c. C. Miller in Gleanings in
Bee-Culture: Longevity in bees is
coming to the front. Assuming that
In harvest time a worker lives six
weeks, and goes afield when 16 days
old, if its life were prolonged a week
II could store 81 per cent more. If one
queen lives twice as long as another,
Will not her workers live at least a
little longer? Is it not possible that,
oy proper selection continuously exer-
clsed, We might add that week to the
life of the worker? If we could add a
sixth to the summer life, that ought to
add a sixth to it's winter life. In that
case, a bee born October /, which now
lives till April 1, would live till May /
quite a help in the wintering prob
lem. Another thing: We can tell
better what a queen is by two or three
seasons work than we can by a single

herself best for three seasons is a

BUMBLE-FOOT IN HENS.

Ihls disease is in very MANY cases

and those on shank by opening at top

one part of acid to ten parts of water,
cleanse them thoroughly, when they

the trouble until the pus is CONCEALED,
1t is almost impossible to press it out
unless some portion of the layers OF

would be worse for the fowl than tc

soreness and let inflammation settle
down into a corn.
When swellings are on the shank Of

result of rheumatism or govt, the fow

The Poultry House Floor.

A poultry raiser advises building the
poultry house floor of dirt. He says
that cement floors cause bumble-foot
and tina board floors are little better.
We think that the gentleman has paid
too little attention to the height OF
his roosts. There is no need Of having
the roosts so high that every time a
fowl flies down it will result in bruis-
ing the feet. Board floors and cement
ioors are certainly advisable in many
cases, and if the roosts are low there
need be no damage from bumble-foot
The writer of this has used a board
floor for years, with roosts only IL
inches above it. No case OF humble
foot ever materiaiized. Moreover, ii
is entirely feasible to keep the floor
covered, with dirt, dust or chaff.-

Through the floor is a ventilating

STRICTLY FRESH EGGS.
They Certainly should Find a Ready
Market Whenever Perfect
Food Is in Demand.

There are various articles of food
which can be produced hundreds of
miles away from the place of consump-
ton, and which suffer no injury or
deterioration from transit; but others
are perishable in their nature, and
even when not actually perishable do
not retain the quality which is their
Characteristic, nor are they absolutely
fresh. In these days of rapid transit,
of refrigerators, etc., a great deal has
been done to minimize the difficulty
indicated, but distance must always be
an important factor in this class of
food.
Eggs are included in the list of per-
ishable articles, but consumers do not
realize that to obtain an egg in its very
best state and while it's nutritive value
is greatest it must be absolutely fresh
not more than two or three days old;
and yet m%ultitudes of those who by
reason of their ability to pay for good
quality ought to create a demand for
the best are content to be put off with
eggs in which, to say the least, the first
indication of decomposition can be
traced. For really fresh eggs it is es-
sential that a price be paid which is re-
numerative to the producer. Some
producers do not feed their hens dur
ing the greater part of the year, but
allow them to find their own susten'
ance. If eggs were mot perishable
articles our farmers could not hope
to cur the highest prices. Con-
sumers, therefore, should realize the
fact and be willing to pay a reasonable
price for absolutely fresh eggs. Wher
once they understand how superior
these are TO those not fresh they viii
do so. If consumers will insist upor
having the best (Which some do), ant
be willing to pay fair prices forit, they
will obtain an article of food superior
to anything that can be used, consid
ering the various modes in which egg!
can be used and their high nutritious
value.--Farm and Fireside.

CHICKENS WITH PIP.
r,,e., they Are Treated without De-
lay the Worm That Causes the
Trouble Kills Them.

Herewith we illustrate a chicken
with the gapes-popularly called the
,.nin." Many a farmer see his chicks
acting as indicated in the illustra-
tion and imagine that the food is not
ripht. The food is changed, but the
trouble is not obviated. The difficult
tv is the presence of the cape worm,
a little red worm with a V-shaped
terminus. This V is formed by the
iuncture of the male and female
worms. We give this much for iden-
~ti6cation purposes. The worms in
habit the trachae. Sometimes they
can be removed by a feather and some
claim to remove them with drops OF
t~urpentine. Others have failed in all
the things they have tried. Without
doubt prevention is the factor that
should receive the most attention

New Way of Keeping Eggs.

A new method of preserving eggs is
being tried. Fresh laid eggs are care
fully opened and the contents of the
shell put into glass jars which are
closed after the air has been drawn out.
The jars are put into cold-storage and
sold to the bakers in large cities, who
are glad to be rid of the shells; at the
same time this enables both seller and
BUYER to tell at a glance whether the
package is good or not. Special care
must be given to their packing, for
one bad egg will quickly spoil the whole
Jar. This, like bottled milk, will only
have a limited sale in our large cities.

NEW YORK, October 27.-A special to the Press from Boston says: The serch of the Turkish authorities for the captors of Miss M. E.

Under the caption, "The Odyssee of Miss Ellen Stone," the Evening Post of Sofia, Bulgaria, copies of which has just been received in Boston, publishes a description of the capture of the American missionary. The article contains an interview with Konstantine Pitsian, the Bulgarian horsekeep- CT, whose horses were ridden by Miss stone and her party when they were held up by brigands in Turgish territory, about twenty miles from the Bulgarian front fer. It thus describes the capture and subsequent events:

 About 500 meters from Leaf1- ing Rock our captors were joined by twenty-two more Turks and Arnauts, who serched the women and took away their watches and other valuables on the spot. Then they led off Miss Stone and Mime. Tsilka and left the rest of us un- der the guard of fifteen meu. There we remained all night un- der pain of being shot instantly if we stirred. When daybreak came we saw that the guards had vanished and we went to Maho- mia. The two women who were captured were travelling in their summer clothing and had no raps with them. Miss stone had about 50 lire (Turkish) with her.
 The brigands spoke only Turkish, and their appearance was that of Turks: On the day after my arrest in Mohomia was talk en before the Kadi, who urged me to say that the brigands were Bulgarians, This I refused to do. because 1 did not wish to perjure myself.
