THAT WAS splendid tribute
paid to j. @ Macdonald last
night by the city council by Civ
ing him every vote for successor
to Mayor John Jacobs, resigned.
The TRIBUNE trusts and believes
that Mayor Macdonald will pursue
the same fearless independent
course as that followed by Mayor
Jacobs. While Mr. Macdonald is
a young man, he has shown him
self to possess more than ordinary
executive and business ability. and
it is such timber that is needed in
the mayoralty office The mayor
in his official capacity can do
much to make or unmnke town.
And Mr. Mac Donald is in position
to pull for Florence. Watch him

asked him to resign, this author of

RABBIT HUTCH.

of a rabbit-hutch which strikes me as
excellent and tempts me to build one
exactly like it. The construction is
shown in accompanying illustrations.
My correspondent describes it as fol-
lows: "The building should have the
floor at least two inches off the
ground, and banked up as much as
possible all around, for warmth. Nest
boxes for breeding does should have
partition in for nest. Partitions be-
tween pens should be of wood, as some
hares will fight through wire and they
will not do well. Nest-boxes should
have the lid hung with hinges, so that
the dirt can be removed and the boxes
opened"
In regard to the management Mr..
Edwards says: 81 feed once a day
corn-chop, and alfalfa green when I
can get it, and when 1 cannot, alfalfa
hay leaves. l do not change the food
at any time, and have as fine hares
as anyone around here. give plenty
of fresh water and keep them supplied

GOOD STRONG QUEEN.
Every Colony Can Scarcely he
Overestimated.

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 prolific queen, with vigor
enough to give an active working col
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 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 well 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 well 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.
while we do not know to what extent
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
that has established record, with a
statement also of the record of the
whole apiary.

with salt. Climate has a great deal
to do with the successful raising of
Belgian hares. They require very
dry and fairly warm place, well pro-
tected from cold winds and shaded
from the hot sunshine. The reason I
feed my hares TIE way 1 do is that
corn is fattening, and 1 find they grow
better on it than on oats or wheat.
Rabbits naturally are all muscle. They
require some green food the year
round, but not to excess, as it will
cause bowel complaint; neither can
they live on all dry food, as they can
not digest it. They require fresh wa
ter, and, above all, they must be kept
absolutely dry; the least dampness
will kill them off quickly. Keep each
breeding doe separate and handle as
little as possible. Do not breed doe
again until you can take the young
from her. You will get better young
ones and keep the doe in better condi-
tion. If hutches are kept clean you
will find the hares will also be clean
and more healthy. = T. Greiner, in
Farm and Fireside.

BELGIAN HARE HUTCH.
Colorado Fnncier Describes One That

1he Belgian hare fad is slowly abat-

DO Not Pen the Turkey..

"rI do not wonder that there are so
many failures made in preparing tur-
keys in the market when we take into
consideration the course so many
breeders take in fattening their
BIRDS" says George Wolf. in Farm
Poultry. II have frequently seen
fiocks of turkeys penned up in a
building for the purpose of fattening
for market, and it was failure every
time. This is no more than should
be expected, for turkeys are of a
wild nature, and as soon as they are
cooped they begin quarreling, chasing
one another about and constantly
worrying for freedom. They soon
tire of their food, grow thin, and
will, when killing time comes, weigh
less than when first cooped with the
expectation of fattening them"

apes. He was forced to the conclusion
that the ears gave no clew to per-

How to KIN Ground MoIes.

Ground moles, aside from the dam
age they do to growing plants by lift
ing them or disturbing their roots,
are rather 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 i'll. L. Irwin, in Farm
and Fireside.

SIMPLE SWARM CATCHER.
No Matter Mt What Angle the Pole Is

I have tested quite few swarm
catchers, but have found none to give
such thorough satisfaction is this SIM
pie device, which any beekeeper can
make. Find suitable crotched stick
and remove the bark. Make a ring
about 20 inches in diameter out of
stout wire, telegraph wire is about
right. Next take piece of burlap
and sew into bag shape, then sew the
wire ring into the mouth of the bag
and fasten it into the crotched stick,
so it will swivel, and the device is ready
for use. It is well to have on hand

JOHNSON AT WORK AGAIN.

Racine, Wis, July 22nd.-John John

city, is happy man.
For years he has suffered with Kid

broken down that he was forced to
quit work. Everything he tried failed,
till friend of his recommended a new
remedy-Dodd's Kidney Pills. Mr..
johnson used them, and the result sur
prised him. He is well as ever he was,
completely cured, and working away
every day.
His case is regarded by those who
knew how very bad he was, as almost
a miracle, and Dodd's Kidney Pills are
a much te Iked of medicine.

one or two poles of different lengths
and two short straps with which to
unite them.
This device will reach a swarm 80
feet from the ground. The great fea-
ture of it is it's lightness, and no ma
ter at. what angle the pole is held the
bag is always perpendicular. To hive
a swarm whose queen is at large with
the bees, bring the swarm catcher
right up under the cluster and give
it sharp jerk upwards and the clus-
ter will drop from the limb right into

hive and turn the bag inside out and
the bees will drop in front of the hive
and run into it.-Orange Judd Farmer.

Can a Plank Walk i?

How would you like to see horse
fly? Or plank walk? Over in Mex
leo there is about ten miles of plank
walk out in the streets and the
horses have to fiy-in places-if they
get through that town.
1t all came about because one plank,
in the Mexico plank walk, had a hole
in it and woman put her foot in the
hole and it hurt her foot and she
brought suit against the city for many
thousand dollars, all because her foot
couldn't walk after it had been caught
in plank walk.
Now that city is in the hole.
A big lawsuit, with thousands of
dollars involved, has been decided
against Mexico because woman's
foot was smaller than the hole in the
plank walk.
No one thought a woman's foot
could be SO small, and this belief has
lost great deal of money for Mexico,
and the city fathers of the town with
plank walk and hole in the walk
have ordered all the plank walks
turned over into the streets and new
brick or stone or cement walks must
be built.
Are the feet of the Mexico woman
smaller than the feet of the Canon
City woman? Or are the holes in the
Mexico plank walks larger than those
in the Canon City walks? These are
important questions and should be de-
cided by our city fathers before the
Canon City woman gets her foot in it.
Can plank walk in Canon City?
1t walked away with Mexicos money
and that's the question for our city
dads to decide, Shall it walk away
with Canon City's money!"
1t may be that our city fathers
think the Canon City woman's foot is
too large to be caught, but we warn
them that the holes grow fast and
the patriotism of our Canon City wo-
mems feet will be taxed to the utmost
If these feet grow fast enough to
keep larger than the holes in the
walk. Better fix the walks.

lar session last Monday night.
Gilbert Campbell asked the council
to have the alley at the rear of D. Z.

proper resolution therefor and report
same at next meeting of the council.

nolds for the extension of the 4-inch
water main along north Fifth from
Pike to Walnut-six blocks-was re-
turned to Mr.. Reynolds so as to have
incorporated therein the ten per cent.
condition, so as to conform to other
extensions. In accordance Herewith
no contract was awarded for digging
the said trench as advertised.

date for receiving bids for fire appa-
ratus and supplies from July Is to

The matter of investigating the
purity of the new supply of water for
the city, which had SO far been con-
Quoted by the mayor, was assumed
by the city council.
The contract for printing 100 cop
les of the new city ordinances was
awarded to the Canon City RECORD,
to be in book form with cloth binding.
The council determined to award
the printing of city ordinances and
all legal notices TO the RECORD, Clip
per and Times at one legal rate, each
notice to be published in each news
