LoNG-TONGUED BEES.
Market Can Master the Red
Clover blossoms.

We are now putting forth an unusual
effort to improve the honey bee in
length of tongue. Beekeepers are after
the red clover honey crop, of which the
tubes of the blossoms are so deep the
bees cannot reach the nectar in them.
1t is well known that the common red
clover is the heaviest nectar-producing
plant known, and the honey from it is
of fine quality.
1t has been discovered that an occa-
sional colony of bees work on red clover
blossoms, and in some instances have
stored large surplus from this we'll
known plant. Beekeepers have taken
the hint from this, and have made in
vestigations to find that some bees have
longer tongues than others, and on this
account are able to reach the honey in
the red clover tubes.
1t was said that the Italian bees could
master the red clover blossoms, and the
job was placed in their hands, but fter
some big stories of Imagination and The
lapse of timeitwas discovered that but
a very small per cent. of bees worked
the red clover. After careful measure
ments of the tongues of bees, it has been
discovered that there is a variation all
the way from fifteen one-hundredths to
twenty-three one-hundredths of an
inch, the last-named being very rare.
1t seems that if we can attain the
length of twenty-five one -hundredths
of an inch, and have all the bees come
up to this standard, the red clover crop
is ours. Beekeepers have already be-
gun the work to attain this improve
ment by select breeding, and judging
from other Improvements obtained in
different ways by line breeding of the
Italian bees, this improvement is not
an impossibility.
The honey that would be obtained
from red clover if the bees could get it,
would add largely to the total crop of
this country.-A. NJ. Duff, in National
Rural.

PARASITES ON POULTRY.
Camphor Balls, Says One Writer, Are
Sure Death to Red Mites and
other Species of Lice.

\ poultry raiser, who for several
years experimental with various insec-
ticides in search of reliable remedy
for the little red mites and the various
species of the hen body louise that in
tests the nests of sitting hens, could
find nothing effective till he tried cam
phor balls, says Farmers Guide. He
says he has had the hens leave the
nest before the eggs were Matched,
completely covered with these pests,
and has taken off many broods of
chickens when he would find half a
dozen or more big white lice on their
little heads, and this, too, after hav-
ing busted the hen and nest well sew
eral times during the incubation with
various kinds of insect powders.
The balls are perfectly harmless to
the hen and chicks and the hen with
her brood of chicks will leave the nest
absolutely free from lice. Make your
nest and put in the eggs, and at the
same time place in the nest with the
eggs one camphorated ball, which is
sufficient for the entire incubation, and
your hen and little chicks will leave
the nest free from all kinds of YER
mip. When you have placed the little
bali in the nest you need not bother
any more. 1t will evaporate and get
to be very small toward the latter
part of the incubating; but never
mind, it has done it's work.
Since using the camphor ball he has
not raised single chick with scaly
legs. 1t is good idea to keep one
of the balls in the nest where the
hens lay, as it keeps them free from
vermin. The camphorated ball is a
little white ball, and can be had from
any drug store.

A NURSES STORY.
A Graduate of Lakeside hospital,
Lake Geneva, Tells an Inter-
esting Experience.

Peshtigo, Wis, Feb. 10. 1901. (Spe-
ciaD of the most popular nurses
that ever graduated from the Lakeside
Hospital, Lake Geneva. is Miss Lillian
Dreese, of this place. Miss Dreese is the
Vice Templar of the Independent Order
OF Good Templars, and Organist of the
Rebeccas of Peshtigo. During her
twelve years experience as a trained
nurse, she has had many opportunities
for observation, and her opinion in all
medical health matters is held in very
high esteem by the thousands who
have learned to know and love her. In
speaking of her experience she says:
During my twelve years as trained
nurse, have often observed how many
different physicians give their patients
Dodd's Kidney Pills N cases of Diabetes
and Kidney Trouble. About three years
ago, l myself suffered some months
with a weakened and continual con-
gested condition, ard l decided to try
what the Pills would do for me. / soon

parts, and restored harmony to the en-
tire system, and although l often lose
much sleep and rest while attending
severe cases, find that was never in

Pills"
Clergymen say they are good, Sena-

evidence as to the wonderful curative
properties of this Medicine, hundreds OF

Fafteninr the RrniIer.

Choice broilers bring high prices,
but it is not an easy matter to fat
ten broilers, as the food makes them
grow instead of fattening. Then,
again, to force them may result in
leg weakness, bowel disease, etc. Do
not begin to fatten until they are six
or seven weeks old, and then allow
them time to fatter. Feed three
times day, and scatter one gill of
millet seed in litter between meals.
Here is an excellent fattening food:

A. to the Color of YoIIs..

When fowls are deprived of green
food the yolks of their eggs are very
pale yellow. These are much valued
for cake baking. Some people have the
notion that these pale yolks denote in
ferior quality, but this is not the case:
il simply shows a lack of green food,
a full supply of which will soon inten-
Sly the color of the same. Again, many
think that blood spot on the yolk is a
sure sign of bad egg. But this is not
necessarily so, for at times this spot is
deposited upon the yolk from rupture
caused as it passes the oviduct and is
present in the egg when perfectly fresh.
This fact shows the necessity of test
ing even fresh eggs by candle prior to
packing for market; for while these
spots do not really injure the eggs, peo-
pie dislike to use them, and their pres
ence causes buyers to think that you
Eend out bad eggs.-Rural New Yorker.

such floor fowls will rest most com
fortably. If roosts are provided, even
low ones, some of the fowls will not
go upon them, their great weight
making them timid. 1hey will huddle
on the floor under the roost, where
they would become cold, and their
plumage probably soiled in the morn
ing. A low small addition is made to
the regular poultry quarters, the
hight not being more than half that
of the latter. Across the front of the
opening is burlap curtain, hung on
a wire, which is drawn across the
opening on cold nights, making the
fowls very warm within. This low
addition can very easily be made if
the poultry quarters are in another
building, the night quarters being let
out into the room adjacent.-J. E.

why Disinfectnnts should BE Used
Literally and with Regularity
in Poultry Yards.

When roup has become established
on a farm the germs remain in the
soil for months, depending on the
kind of roup, however, as the term is
used to apply to consumption, diph-
liberia, scrofula, etc. The entire
premises should be disinfected two
or three times, drenching the house,
floors and roosts, grounds, etc, with
a mixture made of one pound of cop.

peri, each dissolved in ten gallons of
hot water, then adding one pint of
sulphuric acid. Kill all the birds and
get others that are known to be
healthy. The labor of handling sick
birds is too costly when the whole
flock is attacked. Prevention is bet
ter than cure. Diseases are not al
ways contagious. When some men,
Der of the flock seems to have an all
ment, and no others are affected, it
may be safely ascribed to some
cause peculiar to the individual. For
instance, when one of the fowls
twists it's neck around, seems to
shake its head, cannot eat or is help
less, it is difficult to arrive at cor
rect knowledge of the cause. But it
may be rheumatism from dampness,
pressure of blood on the brain from
high feeding, or an injury. The only
remedy then is to keep the fowl quiet
on straw, and feed only once a day
on lean meat. If it does not soon re-
cover it will be of no value except for
the pot. Do not waste time with
birds that are always sick.-Farm

HEIR TO THE CALF OF MAN.
An American Who Inherits "A Little
IsIa nd Near the Isle of
Man.

Gerald n. Carey, heir apparent to
the little kingdom of the Calf of Man,
who has been working as an assist
ant assayer at the lie Roi mine, Ross
land, British Columbia, was at the
New Markham hotel one day lately,
stopping in Denver, he said, to make
hurried examination of mining ma
chinery. He was on his way to Eng
land and the little island off its coast,
which is owned by his uncle, whose
heir Mr.. Carey is, says the Denver Re-
publican. He registered from Peal,
Isle of Man, for the very good rea-
son, he explained, that there is no
town or city on the Leg of Man, and
also that the family for several years
past has spent a good deal of time
on the neighboring island, where he
was born.
II am going back to Mainland to
join my uncle, w. L. Drinkwater
Carey, who, through the death of my
grandfather, has lately come into
ownership of the Leg of Man." said
Mr.. Carey. "The little island is sep
arated from the Isle of Man by mar
row channel. 1t is in reality a part
of Mainland. In old times the peo-
pie were the same and their laws
and customs and habits of life were
identical on both islands. The Calf
of Man is much the smaller. NV IA
Their would have inherited the island,

heir, and some day 1 may be the
owner of the island, which we are
pleased to call kingdom, although
it is not quite that
But we do claim absolute owner
ship of the island, even to the min
erals that may be found, and the
reason that my uncle has sent for me
at this time is that / have gained
some knowledge of minerals and min
ing since coming to America. and I
shall make thorough exploration of
the island to discover if there is min
eral in it. For long time we have
thought that there was a rich lode of
silver running through the little do
main, and my uncle wants me to
make a test of it. If there is silver
in paying quantities, of course, we
shall work it,"
w. i. Drinkwater Carey claims to
be more than a tenant of the little
island. He has entered upon his lit
tie kingdom, which is smaller than
the principahty of Monaco, not as a
tenant of the Lady of Man." who is
Queen Victoria, for he claims abso-
lutte ownership. The island has been
in the possession of the Careys for
many generations, coming into the
family through a grant from King
Edward as a reward for meritorious
service. There is but one inhabited
house on the island the old seat of
the Careys, a substantial stone build
ing that is surrounded by 100 acres
of cultivated land.
The present owner of the Calf Of
Man has lived most Of his life in the
United States. He left home "a years
ago, and has been a resident Of Chi
cago almost ever since. He returned
only a few years ago to enter into
possession of his kingdom.
