WORKING AMONG BEES.

Gus as Many Suppose.

Every farmer who keeps bees should
provide himself with bee veil that
fits over the hat and is secured under
The hands and wrists may be protect
ed by wearing mitts without fingers,
says Fannie NJ. Wood, in the n. +.
Homestead. When one does not
wear boots the pants may be
tucked inside the stocking leg; a
+ nervous man would not care about the
bees creeping inside the pants. A
good bee smoker is Indispensable. Dry
rotten wood, that will crush easily in
the hands, makes plenty of smoke
without much heat and never goes out
Rubber cloths are useful. They are
made of coarse linen or burlap, take up
water easily, and are large enough to
lap two or three in over and over the
sides and ends of the top edges of the
hive. Wet and wiring them out before
using; they will lie down smooth and
close. When take the cover off a hive
or super, one of these wet cloths is
laid on quickly. If any of the bees are
next to it they will quickly get from
under. 1t retains the warmth of the
bees, can be turned back as much as
sneeded to take out a frame or more
without disturbing the rest of the
bees. In changing supers it keeps all
the bees in their places, out of the way
of the operator. If smoked when wet
and laid on the top of the hive the
scentof the smoke will cause the bees
to fill up on honey and they will be
submissive. The farm beekee per should
have one or more feeders. They are
inexpensive and come handy when
necessary to feed the bees.

AMBROSE M'KAY'S CASE.

Rockbridge, No., June 24th:-The
neighborhood and particularly the
members of Rockbridge Lodge, No.
435, A. +. & A. NJ, are feeling very
much pleased over the recovery of Mr..
Ambrose Mckay, prominent citizen
and an honored member of the Ma
sonic Fraternity.
Mr.. Mckay had been suffering for
years with Diabetes and Rheumatism,
which recently threatened to end his
days. His limbs were SO filled with
pain that he could not sleep. He was
very bad.
Just then, someone suggested new
remedy-Dodd's Kidney Pills-which
has been much advertised recently, as
cure for Bright's Disease, Dia betes,
Dropsy, rheumatism and Kidney
Trouble.
After Mr.. Mckay had used few
doses, he commenced to improve. His
pain all left him, and he is almost as
we'll as ever. He says Dodd's Kidney
Pills are worth much more than they
cost. They are certainly getting a
great reputation in Missouri, and
many very startling cures are being
reported.

BuZZINCS FROM BEEDOM.

Extracted honey will lose favor

If the queen bee be clipped or kept

Clipped wings will not prevent
swarms from going to the woods.
Neither will entrance guards pre-
vent it.
Grating or inoculating larvae in the
queen cells was practiced first by a
German apiarist, Mcnring, in 1866. He
was first, also, to use comb founda-
ton.
Moth eggs call for sulphur or bisul-
phide of carbon. The sulphur will not
kill the eggs. but the bisulphide will.
Either will be effective after the moth
passes the egg stage.

Sweet clover is also good crop for

forage or grain for other uses.-Ella

Miraculous Escape.

Lightning played "Home, Sweet
Home" with variations on the electric
connections at the home of Louis L.
Dunn, in Minneapolis. The front Of
the building was wrecked, and every
carpet in the house ripped up. All
electric wiring was burned out, and
the bells fell to the floor, while the
telephone box went up in smoke.
Forty people were in the house when
it was struck, and that none of them
were killed is miraculous. A recital
was being given by Miss Anna O'Dowd,
sister of Mrs. Dunn. All of Miss
O'Dowd's pupils had gathered for the
occasion.
Mr.. Dunn and Mr.. Gleason attacked
the conflagration with bed quilts, and
subdued the flames in the lower part
of the house. Then, proceeding to the
attic, they had hard fight, because
the fire there had gained good head
way. Fifteen minutes from the time
the lightning struck all dang er from
fire was past.
The appearance of the house inside
was chaotic. A checker board which

was shivered into splinters. The bolt

IMPROVING THE FLOCK.
How to Introduce New Blood Nitho1t
Going to an >Unnecessarlly
Heavy Expense,

In buying new blood one needs to
use judgment. For instance, if one in
tends buying cockerels they should be
purchased early in the fall, when poul-
try breeders have surplus Of male
birds and can sell cockerels for grad
ing purposes very reasonable, says a
writer in the Poultry Herald. Then, it
one has large flock Of common hens
and does not intend to separate them
in the breeding season, enough cock
erels can be purchased to mate with
the entire flock, for if there are any
mixed roosters kept In the flock there
is more liability of the hens mating
with them than the strange males. AS
an example, case just recently
brought to our attention where a
farmer bought two pure-bred males
to run with his farm flock and kept
also two of his own BOOSTERS in the
flock. His two males fought the pure
bred ones so that they would not stay
among the hens.
In a case like that there would be
very few of the chicks sired, by: the
purebred cockerels, whereas, if he
had bought four cockerels of pure
breed and killed off all of his males
every chick he raised would be half
pure blood, and in that way he would
have been improving his flock and get
ting value for his money investment
in the pure-bred males. AS it is he gets
nothing whatever from them unless it
is the satisfaction of buying them and
having them on the farm.
Every farmer or poultry raiser
should have place where he can sep
arate few of his best hens for breed
ing purposes Tin most cases seven or
eight hens will lay all the eggs wanted
for Matching purposes) and then only
one male is needed, and the keeper
can afford to buy one of the better
quality and make more rapid progress
in the Improvement of the flock.
Some people, however, do not take
interest enough to separate the flock
for breeding purposes. In such cases
it will pay best to buy setting or two
of eggs and raise the pure bred cock
erels, as one is pretty sure to get a
nice lot of cockerels, and in most cases
more than is needed, when he can
often sell for more than the cost of
the eggs the surplus cockerels and
pullets to some one who desires to
raise pure-bred fowls.

COMMON SENSE ROOsT.

flock. The two outside boards should
be notched one by two inches and IL
inches apart. Having notched two
boards and placed at height wanted,
about seven feet apart, take good
roofing lath, one by two inches, about
eight feet long, and lay crosswise in
notches. This will make swinging
roost, but fowls will soon get used to
it and seem to delight in swing. This
roost one can walk all around and
reach almost any fowl on the perch.
Look for lice where lath cross the
boards; kill them with coal oil. Lath
should be slightly rounded on top.
Such a roost will accommodate sc
fowls if necessary to place as many
together and all are on a level.-D. E.

The man who feeds three times a

ness that they will not scratch or

to come around at the regular hour,
simply wastes time, labor and food.
What is more, he wastes eggs, for such

are in fat condition. Of course, hens
should not be poor in flesh, but there
is no need of feeding hens more than
they actually require. Eggs are costly

Strange Drowning.

BY the overturning of a boat in Snail
lake, St. Paul, Thomas p. Cronin and
Louisa Ellwanger were thrown into
the water. Cronin started to swim to
shore and asked the woman to cling to
him, assuring her that they would be
safe. Miss Ellwanger, however. chung
to the boat and was later rescued by
three boys. Cronin was caught in the
mud and drowned. There was no part
of the lake where the water was more
than four feet deep. Cronin was an
employee at the st. Paul Foundry and
Machine Works.
