WORKING AMONG BEES.
essary Tools 1t Is Not as Danger
Gus us Many Suppose.

Every farmer who keeps bees should
provide himself with bee veil that
fits over the hat and is secured under
the suspenders inside the coat or vest.
The hands and wrists may be protect
ed by wearing .mitts without fingers,
says Fannie NJ. Wood, in the n. E..
Homestead. When one does not
wear boots the pants may be
tucked inside the stocking leg; a
nervous man would not care about the
bees creeping inside the pants. A
good bee smoker is indispensable. Dry
rotten wood, that will crush easily in
the hands, makes plenty of smoke
without much heat and never goes out.
Rubber cloths are useful. They are
made of coarse linen or burlap, take up
water easily, and are large enough to
lap two or three in over and over the
sides and ends of the top edges of the
hive. Wet and wiring them out before
using; they will lie down smooth and
close. When take the cover off a hive
or super, one of these wet cloths is
laid on quickly. If any of the bees are
next to it they will quickly get from
under. 1t retains the warmth of the
bees, can be turned back as much as
needed to take out a frame or more
without disturbing the rest of the
bees. In changing supers it keeps all
the bees in their places, out of the way
of the operator. If smoked when wet
and laid on the top of the hive the
scentof the smoke will cause the bees
to fill up on honey and they will be
submissive. The farm beekeeper should
have one or more feeders. They are
inexpensive and come handy when
necessary to feed the bees.

cause a fainter heart to weaken and
turn back, but Mrs. NOVEL; was made
of sterner stuff and travelled on un-
daunted toward Dawson City.
On her arrival at Dawson she de-
cided to earn her living as a dress
maker, and began to apply herself to
her old business in the new field. She
had not been long there, however,
when she heard that Joseph Beck, a
wealthy mine owner, was in need of a
bookkeeper. She secured tho posi-
ton. Entering the Office, she applied
the same energy that had character
lied her as dressmaker.
The eyes of Mr.. Beck were not
closed to all this. Her character and
disposition had won his heart, and he
saw in her now not only the elements
which make a loving wife but those
of splendid partner. So, after a
short courtship he proposed, was &C.
cepted, and the two returned to San
Francisco in the fall of 1898, where
they were married.
After the wedding Mr.. Beck, with
his wife and stepson, Walter S. Now
ell, returned to>Dawson, where, by ju-
dicious investments, Beck increased
his fortune until to-day he is one of
the richest men in the gold fields. Hs
owned the Old Dominion claim,
which he sold at high price, and
bought up claim No. II on uold Run,
for which he was offered 100000. at
present Mr.. and Mrs. Beck own a
claim neighbor to one which worked
$4,000 in four days, and both ex-
pect a great income from their new
digging"
Mrs. Beck recently visited in San
Francisco, returning to Dawson Feb
ruary rs. She took sleighs at White
Horse and Travelled 400 miles in the
severest season of the year back ia
her husband and son in the capital of
the gold fields.
Mrs. Beck's recent trip was for the
purpose of buying country place
for herself and husband, who intends
selling out in about two years and
again becoming a resident of Califor-
MIA. Mrs. Beck bought a large tract
of 1000 acres of land near Red bluff,
which will be conducted as a stock
range, a large number of cattle al
ready having been bought.
On the return of the Becks they
will occupy a palatial residence in
course of construction at Red Bluff.

gold nuggets made into necklaces
and bracelets as souvenirs from the
Old Dominion Claim.

A KANSAS PIGPEN.

important is the large hinged door on
the south side that admits sun to the
whole of the pen and keeps it sweet
and warm. We never have wet or ILL
smelling pens. Have the roof slant
ing at least IS degrees. This makes
the north side so high that the north
winds do not blow in the pens when
the doors are open. Then, again, when
the roof is high at the center you can
get into the pen without humping
your head. A farmer gets enough
bumps in life without going to a pig
pen for them. The figure will show
how the pens are constructed.
Twelve-foot roofing boards are cut so
that AZ feet are on the south side and
7% on the north; width of pens, 8
feet; height on sides, 30 inches, and
each SOW has feet in length. Cost of
materials is about 50 per pen. We
raised $50 pigs with six pens that
spring. At month old we put the
litter in open sheds. We found it did
not pay, so have built six more pens"

WHEN THE HOGS DIE.
Cholera and Other Diseases Usually
Are Caused by Dry and Con-
centrated Foods,

The time of the greatest fatality
among hogs is when they are com.
PEELED to subsist for any considerable
time on the dry and most concentrated
foods, says the Indiana Farmer. In all
experience that is the condition of the
greatest ailment in human life. When
the hogs are turned into the autumn
stubble fields and left to CLEAN on tho
dry, concentrated food there obtained,
if ever hog cholera or any other diseas
occurs, that is the time, at least that i.
so generally speaking. It is not so
much because the seeds of the disease
are more prevalent then, but because
the hog is forced into condition which
makes him most susceptible to the
seeds of disease more or less prevalent,
No animal, not even man, was ever in.
tended to subsist alone on dry, concen.
trated foods, and the human animal
knows too much to risk his health on
such conditions. What the hog needs
along with these concentrated foods is
an occasional succulent ration. With
the abundant opportunity provided fo1
him, clover and rape and beets, arti.
chokes, and even silage, etc., there is no
reason why he should be abandoned to
the conditions which invite disease and
death. There is not month of the
year when an occasional succulent "a.
ton could not be provided for the hog:
This, with pure water, would enable
him to resist and throw off the germs
of disease always prevalent, and sufi.
GENTLY frequent to kill when subjected
to conditions inviting death.

New Problem for Farmers,

Farm tenantry is doubtless increas.
ing in the United States, and this fact
is one with which we must constantly
reckon. AS result of tenantry, social
conditions become yearly worse in
many of our farming communities.
The tenant does not feel that he is
fixture, and takes little interest in the
community. The owners of the land
in too many cases prefer for tenant
a man without children, as there are
in that case none to increase the dis
trict school tax. This is another new
problem that must be faced.-Farm-

which raised and lowered quinine prices
at will. Then the English goyernm mt
| decided 10 introduce the trees into Cey-
lon and india, and the Holland govern
ment planned similar experiments for
Java.
Both countries sent scientists 10 Peru
and Bolivia for seeds and plants. The
natives there got track Of the matter
and impeded their mission in every
possible way. The Peruvian Gust m
house officers would not let the Eng
lish specimens leave the country for
weeks, and In the meanwhile one II the
Boliyians poured some boiling water
over the seeds. After a time, however,
both seeds and plants were secured for
Ceylon and Java. The English set out
large plantations IN Ceylon, and also
about Madras. They chose about the
same latitude and climate as those IN
which the South American trees throve.
and succeeded In producing bark which
yielded fair quantity Of quinlne.
The JaYanese government set out ifs
trees first in the botanical gard n at
Buitenzorg, and afterward here at B7n-
dong and elsewhere. They exper-
mented for gone time, and finally dis

MONEY IN QUININE.
The cinchona plantations of Java are
managed by the government, by syndi-
Gates and by individuals. The syndl-
Gates have the most trees. They have
elghty-three great quinine estates
which are bringing In altogether about
81 000, 900 a year. The most OF these
estates are on lands leased from the
government for terms of .seventy-fve
years. The planters agree to make GER
tain developments and to pay certain
rents In lieu OF taxes, and they have to
carry on their work after the rules laid
down by the government. The private
plantations are managed TO some ca
tent the same way, They are well cared
for and three OF them each yield about
