WHEN THE BEES STING.
Simple House n old Remedies That Are
Helpful to Reduce Swelling
and Relieve Pain,

AS the sting of bee is considered
to be acid, an alkali should be EN-
ployed to relieve it. Ammonia or
soft soap would therefore be a good
application.
In an emergency any of the fol-
lowing might be helpful to reduce
swelling or to relieve pain: Vinegar,
olive OIL raw onion, paste made of
clay and water, or flour and water,
or salt and water, tobacco juice, tine
ture Of arnica, honey or laudanum.
If person be not exceedingly
nervous. and excitable, cold water
applied constantly to the wound will
be a good remedy.
Bee stings are exceedingly danger
Gus to some people. A well known
gentleman was stung by a bee near
the base Of the brain, and the poison
killed him in d few minutes in spite
of heroic remedies.
A bee sting about the face is liable
to produce large swellings, and they
have been known to tester and
threaten blood poisoning in few
hours.
Little children are apt to wander
about in the weeds where bee gums
are located. 1t is well to keep in
mind these and other household rem
edies in such instances of bee sting

FRUIT SPECIALISTS.
Not Improbable That They VIII in
Time Control the Markets All
over the Country.

Prof. Green, of Minnesota, is quoted
as saying that the time is coming when
fruit will be grown only by specialists.
He says-or it is said that he says
that the ordinary man is too careless
and shiftless and Intellectual in his
treatment Of fruit trees. He cannot
compete with the man who makes
speciality Of fruit growing and who
cares for his orchards in the best ways
known. Prof. Green is perfectly safe
in such prediction. In fact, he might
pass IL for a statement of present fact
and not be so very far wrong. There
are still a good many farmers who
grow fruit as "side line" without any
particular care for the best methods;
but anyone may observe that they cut
a wonderfully small figure in the mar
kets. A good illustration of the stu.
alton came to notice last fall. In one
neighborhood the apple buyers were
thick and prices we're good-S1.50 to
three dollars a barrel. In another
neighborhood in the same state apples
were rotting on the ground by the
hundreds Of bushels and prices ranged
from IS cents barrel down 10 nothing
at all, with the barrel thrown in. The
difference was merely that the former
neighborhood had a reputation for
apples based on the careful work OF
many professional apple growers.
while the other neighborhood had
grown its apples "on the side" The
same thiHgcan be observed in the peach
growing business, and still more plain
ly in the pear growing business. The
strawberry business, too. is practically
all in the hands Of specialists. This is
a good thing and It ought to be encour-
aged, the only mitigating considera.
tion being that this condition discour-
ages some farmers who ought 70 grow
fruit for their own use. but who are
giving 1t up because they have been
crowded ont of the market by the spe-
cialists.-Country Gentleman.

1t is interesting to note that lust
now Austria is importing American
grape vines, as it has been found
that the American grape vine is not
subject to insect attacks to the ex-
tent to which the European vines are
subject. This is Of value to us. indi-
eating the advantage we have in nat
urally hardy stock. The American
vines have been introduced into
France and Italy and now there are
large vineyards with nothing except
what grows on American stocks.
austria has been slow to recognize
the situation so far as the harder

OF the prettiest of flower holders. This
is of clear glass, with rim at the top
that is capable Of carrying a brass

Brass and copper vessels that have

must be remembered. is the safest
background for any kind of flower.
The hanging flower pots shown in

ration for a window draped in white

desired height by lengthening or
shortening the cord. Almost every

The owl seldom attacks poultry, but
prefers rats, mice and squirrels.
The mole is one Of the farmers best

The kingbird often destroys the

balances the mischief which it NAV do.

that 1t is an ideal succulent crop for

PUEBLO POTTERY.
by the Ancient CLIFF
Dwellers.

A fine lot of Pueblo pottery and
relics of different sorts is shown in
the Ethnology building of the Pan
American exposition. The Pueblos,
who were dwellers in the plains and
in the cliffs as well, are one of the
most interesting, from an archaeo-
logical point of view, of all prehis-
toric people. Their civilization was
remarkable, and their ingenuity in
pottery making, basket weaving,
bead work and many other things,
very great, says the exposition bull
letin.
They had many peculiar customs.
ceremonies and symbolic rites, and
their pottery is ornamented with fig
ures the significance of which puz-
zles the novice and expert alike. One
of these peculiar symbols was a
broken instead of a continuous line
drawn about bowl or other dish,
suggeSting perhaps the finite char
acter of life. A bowl shown in
the exhibit of Pueblo pottery has the
reproduction of two feet upon the
bottom Of it, inside, suggesting pos
sibly the transitory and insignificant
character of terrestrial existence.
Fine specimens of the famous
''black and white ware" are shown,
as well as "red ware" most Of
which is black on the inside. A
number of specimens finished so as
TO give the outside a corrugated ap-
pearance are shown.
Many ingenious fine tools, finished
stone implements, ornamental trink-
cts, presumably having religious sig
nifcance, are on exhibition in the
cases.
The basket work of the Indians is
very wonderful. Baskets made by
comparatively modern Indians are
shown. Water-tight baskets in large
numbers and in many varieties are
seen in the exhibit. All are orna-
mented with figures woven in when
the basket was made.
The Pima Indians are those most
famous for basket making. They
even use baskets for cooking uten-
sils, covering them with a thin layer
of clay to keep them from being de.
stroyed by contact with the FIRE.

SOLID EARTH ROADS.
undeF FavermhIe Conditions fhey
Are the MOSS Pleasant fer DriF-
ing and Best for H0raeH.

Prof. Charles H. Pettse, Of the New
Hampshire agricultural college, says:
An earth road Is one surfaced with
q large per cent. Of earth, which may
be sand, clay, hsrdpan, loan, or .
mixture Of some Of these. A very
common idea Of an earth road is one
surfaced with the natural material
where the road is built. This de-
scription, though generally charae'
teristie, does not give the true dis
tinction between these and gravel
ones and nav convey an entirely
wrong Impression. The true distine-
tion lies in the performance OF
earth over rock or the reverse in the
surfacing material Again, it viii be
seen that the gravel road is inter
mediate between the earth and the
macadam and that there Is no abso-
lutte line separating the earth from
the gravel or the gravel from the
macadam. The latter statement VII
appear EVIDENT il we consider that Il
makes no difference whether the
stone for a macadam road has been
prepared by . stone crusher OF
broken by the processes Of nature
and deposited in gravel banks during
the glacial epoch.
The earth road, under favorable
conditions of moisture and repair
is the smoothest, most elastic, and
most pleasant for pleasure driving
Of any in existence. 1t is safest fol
horses feet and, where the natural
soil is iavora bic, is by far the cheap
est both as regards construction and
repair. On the other hand, if it Is
an ideal summer road, il is reason
ably sure to be muddy and rough foi
perhaps two months in the spring
as well as during the following heavy
rains at other seasons. In short, lis
perfection for all seasons is appar
emily impossible and it depends upor
constant, though inexpensive, atten
tion to minute repairs for its favor

II thus appears that, IL we aim al
durability nothing less than a body
Of rock will keep us up out Of the
mud in the spring; that this wi
render the surface too dry for com
fort and dura hility during the sum
mer, and that the more expensive
and more perfect the surface con
structed upon this foundation The
more expensive and more difficult
the matter Of repair. In the city
spriukling has given greater durahil
ity and comfort TO the macadam sur
face, and the heavy expense for con
struction and maintenance can otter
be easily borne. In the country thest
favorable conditions are usually alb
sent. Some have attempted TO find II
the gravel road the safe middle

macadam They do not, however, ap
