A WORD ABOUT QUEENS.

Says DR.. C. c. Miller in Gleanings in

coming to the front. Assuming that
in harvest TIME q worker lives six
weeks, and goes afeld when 16 days
old, if its life were prolonged week
it could store "a per cent more. II one
queen lives twice - long az another,
will not her workers live at least .
little longer? Is it not possible that,
by proper selection continuously exer-
cised, we might add that week to the
life Of the worker? If we could add q
sixth to the summer life, that ought to
add sixth to its winter life. In that
case, bee born October l, which now
lives till April /, would live till May 1
quite help in the wintering prob
lem. Another thing: We can tell
better what queen is by two or three
seasons work than we can by single
seasons work. The one that shows
herself best for three seasons is .
safe one to breed from. Ihave queens
born in 1897 that are among the best

CHICKENS WITH PIP.
Unless They Are Treated without De-
lay the Worm That Causes the
Trouble Kills Them,

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

A WIDOWS TRIBUTE.
Set Up in q st. Charles (Mo.)
Cemetery.

Conventional tombstone design has
been knocked sideways by bereaved
Missouri widow. The poor woman
had been deprived of her husband by
the sudden action OF one of the
famous native mules, which, resent
ing some act on the mans part, de-
l4vcred an uppercut with telling ef-
feet.
This is the subject Illustrated in
bas-relief on the stone, the time inn
mediately after the kick; and the
stone stands at the head of grave
in small town-St Charles-not
far from st. Louis.
The stone itself il of q common
form-a straight shaft of white gran
lite, resting upon a base of brown
stone, and surmounted by beveled
cap, on which stands something that
looks much like haystack (prob-
ably it is-the man in whose mem
DRY it was erected having been Q
farmer).
But the bas-relief IL the point of in-
terest. It is 10 inches in diameter.
In the background stands an inno-
cept looking, mild appearing animal,
that might be lamb were it not for
the lack of wool and the presence of
monstrous head and abnormally
large ears. "A rope is about the neck
Of the mule; the other end of the
rope is held by maid of peculiar
architecture, who stands with one
hand grasping her apron and with
great astonishment shown on her
face.
The cause of the astonishment,
says the New York Herald, is lying in
the foreground. It is man, who APP
parently is held in the air by resting
on an elbow. He wears a panied ex-
preston. What is first mistaken for

for the citizens to vote $1,000, 900 tax.
it was found that the women voters
held the balance of power, and that
in order to carry the measure the wom-
en- would have to vote solidly for it.
This was an appalling situation.
Women are no more fond of paying
taxes than men. Besides it was the
first time Louisiana woman had
ever voted at all, and most of them
thought a ballot was q boomerang
that was liable to fly back and ami
hilate them.
In this emergency Miss Gordon
came to the front as woman leader.
She called a mass meeting of the
women, picked out such as could talk
intelligently in public, and organized
q campaign of education. Committees
went from one end Of the city to the
other, holding parlor meetings in
every neighborhood, where they
preached the gospel of sanitation.
They sat up and wrestled of nights
with every tax-paying woman, and
taught her to fill out ballot, and the
result was that on election day it was
found that the women's vote had been
cast as a unit for sewerage and drain
age.
In recognition Of her services Miss
Gordon was presented with a superb
medal by the Progressive Union" an
organization composed Of the leading
business and professional men Of New
Orleans.

The Poultry House Flssr.

A poultry raiser advises building the
poultry house floor of dirt. He says
that cement floors cause bumble-foot
and that 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 .
fowl flies. down 1t will result n bruis-
ing the feet. Board floors and cement
floors are certainly advisable IN many
cases, and If the roosts are log there
need be no damage from bumb]e-foot.
The writer Of this has used board
floor for years, with roosts only 10
inches above it. No case Of bunble-
foot ever materialized. Moreover, II

BuMBLE-Foor IN HENS.
An Affection That often Leads -
Serious Consequences, II Not
Properly Treated.

This disease is in very many cases
caused by carelessness. Flying down
from high roosts to floor which is
always more or less covered by small
gravel stones results in bruises that
are precisely like what are usually
called 'stone-galls." The flesh Of the
foot being very tough, pus cannot es-
cape, so if not attended to it must
CONCEAL, and an ungainly, troublesome
foot be the result. The fowl goes lame
and careless of it's comfort; in nine
cases out of ten, the poultryman fails
to investigate in time to prevent SEE
rious trouble. When discovered before
the pus congeals, lance the swelling
at the rear of the foot, and the pres
sure upon it in walking will press the
pus out and there will be a much
smaller callous than if allowed to set
tie down of its own accord.
Some cases are treated by making
an incision in front and rear of foot,
and those on shank by opening at top
and bottom, and by the use Of a syr-
inge and solution of carbolic acid, Of
one part of acid to ten parts of water,
cleanse them thoroughly, when they
heal satisfactorily. When not aware Of
the trouble until the pus is CONCEALED,
it is almost impossible to press it out
unless some portion of the layers Of
the foot are removed with it, which
would be worse for the fowl than to
use strong liniment to take out the
soreness and let Inflammation settle
down into corn.
When swellings are on the shank or
knee joints, which are generally the
result of rheumatism or govt, the fowl
may as well go to the block, for It is
doubtful policy to breed from such
q specimen. Where q fowl Is to be
doctored, use strong IMMINENT, and
bind the shanks and joints in leaves or
bulbs of the skunk cabbage and give
internally one drop each morning Of
Fowler's solution of arsenic for .
month, or bromide of potassium three
grains per day, until the trouble il
cured. Bumble-foot may be prevented
in great degree by providing low
roosts and keeping the floor OF the
fowl-house covered three inches deep
with loamy sand, which costs less than
to doctor fowls for want of i'll. K

tiniest powder-train would mean the
blowing up of this mill, and, it might
be, the blowing up of another and an
other by conclusion.
All this young Dupont realized in
single glance. Here would be an awful
disaster presently, and many lives inn
periled, unless those falling firebrands
could somehow be kept off that roof.
To know this was to act. Millionaire or
not, peril or not, it was his plain duty
as Dupont to fight those sparks;
and. without moments wavering, he
turned back and scrambled up the
bank.
.Come on, boys!" he cried. "Start
the bucket line And moment later
he was climbing to the roof of the
threatened mill. And there he did all
that q brave man can do; he stamped
out the falling embcrs; he dashed wa
ter again and again upon the kindling

and for q time he seemed to conquer.
But presently the fire famed hotter,
the sparks came faster, and the water
came not fast enough. He saw-he
must have seen-that the struggle was
hopeless, that the mill beneath him
was doomed, that the explosion must
come soon. They called on him to save
himself. He shouted back an order
that they pass up more water, and
: keep passing water.
tThe men below did their best, but 1t
was a vain effort, for in those days the
roofs Of powder mills were made OF
pitch and cement-not OF iron, as to-

work is the perspective. One is not
sure whether the mule is amusing
himself by jumping upon the man OF
has retired to His corner at the call
of time. The position and length OF
the mules legs would lead one to be-
ieve it to be copy of the famous
animals that pillow on hillsides until
the legs on one side are shorter than
those on the other.
Thus, in the cold marble, is told
how this brave man met his death.
Whether the widow intended to hon
or the man or the mule cannot be
stated.
When the monument was complet-
ed the children Of the dead man OBJ
jected to its erection and asked the
assistance of the people in control
Of the cemetery to prevent the artis-
tic widow from carrying out her
plan. The authorities declared that
such monstrosity should not deco
rate the burying grounds. and in
formed the widow that unless she
would bring dire punishment on her
self the monument must never "enter
the gate of the sacred place.
And it did not. She tore a panel Of
the fence and had it taken in and set
up without using the gate. There it
stands, by the side of more modest
and conventional headstone erected
by the less artistic children.
