Wecvils i'm Grain Bins,

If you have put weevil-infested
grain in bins, go at once and stop
the pests from continuing their de-
structive work. Spread clean sacks,
over the grain and have the covers
all ready to close down tight. Now
take a pint of gasoline to every 50
bushels of wheat in the bin and pour
1T over the sacks that lie on the
grain; close the lids and throw ex-
ira sacks or covers over all to keep
the air, out and the fumes in, and
leave: the fumes for "a hours to do
their work Then raise the lids and
the odor will pass off and the weeyil
will trouble no more. OF course BIZ
sulphide of carbon will have the same
effect; but the writer. believes from
trial that gasoline is just as good,
and it is certainly more available and
cheaper. The above suggestion ap-
plies also to the new wheat pest, the
anguomois grain moth.---Farm Jour-
nal.

GOOD STRONG QUEEN.
The Importance of Having One In
: Every Colony Can Scarcely Be
= ..-..r Overestlmated.. a.,

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 a very poor queen, who
produced but little brood, and the
other prolific queen, with vigor!
enough to give an active working coll
ony. We are not sure but that some
bees are like some men, "born tired"
by reason of a lack of strength and
vitality in their parents, says the Mas
sachusetts Plowman.,
u. 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 a queen cell with egg OF. 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 we'll 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 we'll 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 a 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 flight. 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 a record, with a
statement also of the record of the
whole apiary.

NOTES OF INTEREST.

The production of sugar cane in the
Hawaiian islands is estimated at 31O,-
600 tons for 1900.
The presence of the Hessian fly in
wheat is reported from an almost un-
precedentedly large number Of
states.
The output of the IT'S canneries in
Maine is s., OOO,0 900 annually. In .ordi-
nary years $4,000 is paid to farmers
for sweet corn alone.
The disappearance of the ''oid-fash-
Toned apple" is frequent lament.
The modern fruit is fair to look upon,
but genuine flavor is too often absent.
Sugar beet factories are now in
successful operation in California,
New Mexico, Utah, Nebraska, New
York, Oregon, Minnesota, Illinois,
Washington, Colorado and Michigan.
The King of Siam, said to, be the
finest orange ever grown, is the sem

in Florida and California, and looks
like tangerine, with a. loose, rough
skin.

are fastened with. wood, screws
through the tire into the end of the
2x6 piece, as shown by c. !,
The pole attachment and rod for
center is shown at Fig. 2. The pole
is bolted to crosspiece (d), the cross
piece being long enough to bolt ON
brace irons to reach around the end
of center section. The crosspiece is
made of pinch plank, 6 inches at
small end and 10 or IL in center, as
shown. Brace irons can be made
light from crosspiece. to pole. but
from crosspiece: to rod should be of
2xAs, or twisted little as at e; bend
around center rod with set screw to
hold in place. Center rod should be
heavy, so as to strengthen roller.
Washers sufficient must be used to
hold sections in place, so as not to
rub on pole iron where twisted.
Fig. 3 shows a truss iron to
strengthen the, piece running from
pole and crosspiece (d), to rod. The
2xH is on top of d. and lighter
piece on the under side Of d, running
back to near rod and welded or rivet-
ed to it. Keep pole from bending
down, when one is on the seat. Any
kind of seat can he attached to pole,

This was a great innovation, and the
result of it was watched with great in
terest. The little girls proved them
selves quite unhandicapped by the
suppression which their sex had un-

traits of character, the most distinct-

wonderful to behold; but their every

enough to meet with the approval Of
the most ardent dress reformer. In
appearance the girls and women of
Corea are o:ten attractive. Their

started away, pushing the bicycle be-.
tween. them.
Just at $3.50 they reached the West
side corner, near which they had
agreed to leave the wheel over night.
The street was crowded, and, it looked
to Hawkins as if he already had the
money won. The wheel was finished
in red and blue enamel, which made
it especially conspicuous, and when it
was left leaning against the side wall
and only two feetafrom the sidewalk
it seemed certain that it would be
taken within an hour.
Hawkins and Elliott went home
when. they had deposited the wheel,
after agreeing that neither should
watch the wheel during the night or
notify the police or any one else to
keep an eye on it. It was also under
stood that they should meet at eight
o'clock the next morning and walk
over together to see what had hap
pened.
eff the wheels there" Elliott said,
Il win the $40. II it is missing the
money is yours"
Next morning Hawkins got up with
the conviction that he was $40 better
off than he was the day before. He
met Elliott on the corner and they
walked over to the scene of their ex-
pertinent.
IF I win," said Elliott, "of course
I get the wheel as we'll as the $40. If
you win there won't be any wheel"
Hawkins, sure of winning, agreed
to this proposition with a smile.
''Sure," he said, ''you can have the
wheel and I'll give you ten dollars
extra for it,"
A moment later they turned the
corner and approached the vacant lot,
on one side of which they had left
the wheel.
It was there still. Hawkins saw it
first and said nothing. Elliott got
his eyes on it.
"Well." he said, II win. 'tI'll trouble
YOU for that $40. And you may as
we'll cough up the extra ten and take
your old wheel away with you. I GER
tainly have no use for it,
Hawkins, almost overcome, paid the
money and, taking the bicycle by the

Marriage does not bring happiness
to girls in Corea any more than ITO
those in other parts Of the far east.
When young a girl is allowed a free
dom which is denied her later, and it is
aot till she attains the dignity of be-
Ing mother-in-law that she begins to
enjoy life again.

of little consequence, while son is
OF, great Importance, and his advent
into the family circle is always well
coined with Joy. When very young
the boys and girls play together, but
when they reach the.age of eight or
ten a great distinction is made. In
the families of wealth, where none of
the women Of the family are obliged
to do any of the housework or toll in
the fields, the daughters are secluded
in the part of the house reserved for
the women, into which no men are al
lowed to enter. Their brothers dwell
in the mems apartments, where they
are free to do what they please.
Education in Corea is provided to a
certain extent for the boys and young
men, but it is almost an unheard-of
thing for girl to be allowed to learn
anything outside of the purely domes-
tic accomplishments. The girl is .
mere chattel; she is not even consid-
cred unit of society. AS an illustra-
ton of how far this idea is carried it
is interesting to note that the girl has
literally no name. When she is
mere child surname is given to her
for convenience, but when she mar
ries she gives it up and merges her
identity in that of her husband. Her
parents cali her by the ward or dis
trict in which she contracted her mar
riage; her parents-in-law call her by
the name of the village from which
she has come. Later on, when she
has children, she is named the moth

It is safe to say that the small Cor
can girl does not appreciate the bless
ings of her childhood until she grows
up. That many of them are capable
of much broader existence has been
proved by some women missionaries
in southern Corea who have made ex-
periments in their education. They
built bungalow in the midst of the
old city of Fusan, and lived right
among. the people, learning to know
hem in their homes. 1t was not long
before their attention was attracted
to the pitiful case of little orphan
girl, and they decided to take her in
and care for her. Soon they heard of
others, and the little band increased
until it numbered seven or eight. They
hired native teachers. both men and
women, the latter giving the children
lessons in sewing, cooking, and all the
