The Picking eazette's Adventures.

The Picking Gazette, which justly
claims to be the oldest newspaper in
the world, having been founded in
1870, may be said to have appeared
with an irregularity tantamount to
suspension during the late Chinese
troubles. A very few copies of this
journal have survived those trou-
bles, as the Boxers made a point of
destroying all the printed matter
they could lay their hands on con-
tanning edicts, etc, hostile to their
cause and of decapitating its pub
fishers. Consequently The Gazette
had to be secretly printed, and it is
only lately that some members of
the editorial staff have been able to
return to Picking under the protec-
ton of the American authorities
there. 1t is a significant circum-
stance that during its existence for
seven and a half centuries every sus-
pension of its publication has been
followed by the establishment of a
new dynasty.-London Chronicle.

Actually Carried a Chair.

Many people seem to remember
only by an effort that the Empress
Frederick was the princess royal of
England. She herself never forgets
it. 1t was a grievance of the Ger
man court that the wife of their
crown prince always remained "die
Englanderin." Bismarck was never
tired of growing at it. Her easy,
informal manners were always scan
dalizing the stiff Prussian court.
Soon after her marriage she shocked
her lady in waiting by carrying a
chair across the room for herself.
The lady protested. 1t did not be-
come a princess of Prussia, she re-
monstrated, to carry her own chairs.
"Well," replied her mistress, 'the
princess royal of England doesn't
mind doing it. In fact, l have often
seen my mother carrying two
chairs. London Answers.

ILLINOIS HIGHWAYS.
Money Annually Wasted Would Soon
Build Good Roads.

Hard roads statisticians have figured
that Illinois now spends and has been
spending for years more than $1,000
600 annually on it's road work - more
than it is proposed to raise from both
state and township taxation under the
Curtis bill. This money goes for the
pay of the county and township and
road district officials, for roadmaking
tools, for labor and where farmers
work out their road tax the allowance
to them is figured in.
This sum, it is estimated, would be
sufficient in a dozen years to equip ev-
cry township in the state with a north
and south and an east and west mac
adam road of first class quality, yet
this enormous sum is annually spent
for nOthing-dumped into the mud, lit

lack of scientific skill applied to road
building.

rails can be used. 1t is even admitted

Good Roads Difficulties.

The chief difficulty in the matter Of
good roads is the ignorance of the
farmers In many sections as to their
construction. They build them care
lessly or improperly, and the new road
way soon goes to pieces. The farmers
lose heart and come to the conclusion
that it hardly pays to construct roads
which last so short a time. The first
thing to be done, therefore, is to show
the farmers how to construct and
maintain roads. This is easy. The
roads are not expensive, and when once
properly constructed they can be main
tanned at a minimum Of cost. This
has been the experience wherever the
National Good Roads association heS
been at work. - New Orleans TimeS'

Advantages of Broad Tires.

We see much talk Of good roads, but
they will never be made permanent I'm.
til wide tires are more universally
used. 1t is not, however, on the public
highway that wide tires are most ad'
vantageous. 1t Is on the fields, through
the lanes and about the barnyard where
they prove of the greatest value. The
State Agricultural College of Missouri
found that on blue grass sward SPAS
pounds pulled as easily on three inch
tires as 1000 pounds on 11a inch tires
In a part of New York state wide tires
reduced the cost Of hauling 20 per cent
but the saving Of draft is not the only
advantage of the wide tires, for mar
row tires cut ruts that can be seen
across the fields for a whole season
and each one of these ruts serves as q
ditch, which after each rain carries of
the soluble part of all manure and 9th

Embarrassing.

The experience which a certain
young lady had in London on the
day of Queen Victoria's funeral will
serve as an excellent warning for
those women who are inclined to al
low their humanitarian impulses to
get the better of them. This sym
pathetic lady relieved a woman who
appeared to be in fainting state of
her baby and had it left upon her
hands by the disappearance of the
mother. After waiting in vain for
the mother to return the embarrass-
ed young woman told her story to
a policeman on the outskirts of the
crowd. Il have heard that story
before" he grinned in a knowing
way and refused to believe her. A
visit to the police station brought
the same result-an utter disbelief
of the unfortunate young woman's
story. The workhouse was tried,
but with no better fortune. 1t was
six weeks before the shopgirl was
able to get rid of the child which
had come to her in so strange a
way, and it entailed the very great
est trouble on her friends before
they could induce the parochial au-

of the case.-Argonaut.

WHEN THE BEES SWARM.
How to Hive Them With n Basket.
The Queen Trap Neat Affair.

How to Hive Them With n Basket.
Phe Queen Trap IA Neat Affair.
If the cluster is low, it is easy to
hive a swarm of bees. Slip a basket
right up under the cluster and jar the
limb. If the bees have clustered high
UP in a tree, get a pole long enough to
reach them and fasten the basket to
the end of it. A common peach basket
will do very well. When you have the
basket right up under the cluster, give
the pole a sharp jerk upward, which
motion will jar the limb, and the bees
will drop into the basket. Have the
hive under the tree and dump the bees
in front of it, and they will march in
like an army. The hives should be
raised an inch or two in front to give
them air. The bees will commence to
give a contented hum, and if there are
any remaining on the tree they will
hear it and join the rest. In the even
ing the hive can be carried to the loca-
ton where it is to remain.
Sometimes a swarm will cluster on
the trunk of tree or wall; then it will
be necessary to use a brush to get
them into the basket. The ringing of
bells and beating of pans and all such
notions are of no avail. A first swarm
will most always settle. l have never
yet seen it to miss, provided the queen
was with them, and if the queen is not
with them they will most surely return
to their hive. Sometimes a swarm will
hang on a tree all day, and then again
they may depart in little while. 1t is
better to hive them within half hour
after they have issued if possible.
Still a better way is to have queen
traps on the hive to catch the queen.
With the queen traps it is a delight to
hive swarms. When the swarm issues
the queen cages herself and cannot
leave witt the bees. The swarm will
cluster on some tree, when the apiarist
can replace the old hive with an empty
one and place the trap with the queen
in front of the new hive on the old
stand. The bees will remain from 1C
to 20 minutes, when they will return
and enter the new hive. The apiariSt
can then release the queen, and she
will run in with the swarm, and the
| hiving is done, says F. G. Herman II

HIGH FARMING.

Brother to the OK, Can Do.

Brother to the OK, Can Do.
One of the most restless creatures in
existence is an ambitious farm lad of
is who has not yet decided what he
will do for living. Jacob Bicycle, in
Farm Journal, advises such lads that
ii is very often the best way to settle
down at home and hew their way to
peace and plenty right on the old farm.
But Mr.. Bicycle very sensibly adds a
programme of some interesting and
profitable things live boy can do to
begin with:
First.-He can learn how to bud and
graft and always be ready to do such
work for the neighbours; also to supply
scibns of valuable kinds of fruits. In
time many a dollar can be made in this
way.
Second.-He can learn all about in
furious insects and fungi that assail
the farmers crops and how TO apply
remedies to their devastation. Get the
best sprayer, learn how to use it and
take contracts with the neigl.JUrs to
protect them at all seasons Of the year.
There is money in it, and the neighbors
will be glad to be relieved of such re-
sponsibility.
Third.-Take a course in surveying
and learn to write simple legal docu-
ments and in time find that you are a
very important man in the neighbOr-
hood. There will be plenty of business.
Fourth.-Learn about landscape gar
dening and take contracts for laying
out lawns. Get up clubs for trees,
shrubs, seeds, fertilizers, newspapers
and magazines during the winter sea-
son.
Fifth. - Grow rare strawberry and
small fruit plants, fruit and shade
trees and other things that no one else
has near by, so that the folks around
will know where to come for such
things.
Sixth. - Get a Babcock milk test
and be prepared to tell the neighbors
the individual standing of their cows
at so much a head. There is room in
every dairy neighborhood for a person
of this kind, and he will have plenty
to do.
Seventh.-A neighbours plum trees dc
not bear, he has yellows among his
peach trees, his apple orchard is blight.

ROADMAKING MACHINERY.
IT Has Divested Highway Building of
Many Difficulties.

Many Dthiculties.
Road building in many sections of the
country has never got beyond the
gravel wagon and the farmers shovel.
In most states the farmer "wOrks out"
his road tax on a day that is most con-
Senient to himself and when there is
nothing that can be done on the farm.
He runs a scraper up and down the
highway, throwing the dirt in mounds,
hauls a few loads of gravel, scatters it
about promiscuously and the job is
done for the year. 1t is this kind of
road building" which makes many
country highways impossible for Il
good portion of the year.
In no department of mechanical in
dustry has greater progress been made
than in the perfection and manufac-
ture of roadmaking machinery. The
use of this machinery under the direc-
ton of experts reduces road building in
any kind of soil to a very simple prop
osition. A wider knowledge of mod
ern roadmaking machinery among the
agricultural classes would divest the
problem of many apparent difficulties
in the minds of those to whom legisla-
lures must look for the initiative in
this matter.
Modern steam power roadmaking
machinery, combined with state aid
under a state engineer of highways,
furnishes the practical solution of the
good roads problem in this country.
