shingles for Farm Buildings.

I learn that many farmers have
been deceived by buying iron or steel
roofing. A building was covered with
iron roofing and cost $72, and only
lasted ~ years. Then the same
building was covered with good hem
lock shingles that cost only 1872, and
these shingles will last 80 years. I
have a building that was covered
with shaved hemlock shingles in
1861, and it is fair roof to-day.
Sawed hemlock shingles, 16 inches
long, cost here $40 per 1000. Also
some farmers have been deceived by
buying shingles made of sap pine.
These will last only about IL years.
In Wisconsin pine shingles are made
from slabs, and are nearly all sap,
and will not last as long as good
hemlock shingles, but these cost
three dollars per 1000. Red cedar
makes good shingles, but white cedar
makes poor shingles.-L. H. Ketchum,
in Country Gentleman.

Hon. David Meekison is well known.
not only in his own State, but through
out America. He began his political
career by serving four consecutive
terms as Mayor of the town in which
he lives, during which time he became
widely known as the founder of the
Meekison Bank of Napoleon, Ohio. He
was elected to the Fifty-fifth Congress
by very large majority, and is the ac-
knowledged leader of his party in his
section of the State.
Only one flaw married the otherwise
complete success of this rising states
man. Catarrh with it's insidious APP
proach and tenacious grasp, was his
only unconquered foe. For thirty
years he waged unsuccessful warfare
against this personal enemy. At last
Pe-ru-na came to the rescue, and he
dictated the following letter to DR..
Hartman as the result:
"Ihave used several bottles of Peru
ma and feel greatly benefited thereby
from my catarrh of the head. I feel
encouraged to believe that if use it a
short time longer will be able to fully
eradicate the disease of thirty years
standing. Yours truly,
''David Meekison."
Many people can tolerate slight ca
tarrhal affections. A little hoarseness.

A Kensington doctor, whose prac-

NOTES ABOUT BEES.

set in orchards where bees are kept
are alsike and sweet clover, but these
crops would not do the trees any

dale, in the New York Farmer.
Smoke causes bees to fill themselves
with honey. Disturbance has the
same effect. They probably do this
because the smoke and the disturb
ance cause them to think they are
to be driven from their hives, and it
is their instinct of providing for the
future that prompts them to take
along with them as much of their
stored food as they can. After the
smoke passes away, or the disturb
ance subsidies, the bees return to the
cells the honey with which they have
loaded themselves.
Sometimes small after-swarm of
bees will leave the hive and gather on
near bush or tree. Those will go
about from bush to bush, but will
not return to the parent colony.
Such after-swarms often have much
trouble with their virgin queens.
Not all small clusters that leave q
hive are to be classed as after-swarm.
Frequently number of bees will &C.
company a superseding queen which
is about to take her nuptial flight.
These always return to the hive.
Bees should not be transferred too
early in the spring, when the wealth
er is yet cold and there is no honey
to gather. Transfer them when fruits
are in bloom.
Disarrangement of the brood-comb
can be more easily overcome when
the bees are storing honey than at
any other time.
If it be necessary to move an api-
airy, do it just before the bees take
their cleansing flight in the spring.
Old comb can be used without
placing it exactly as it was placed in
the hive in which it was made. The
bees will straighten up everything to
their own taste.

PROFIT IN cH1coRY.
A New Industry That Has Obtained .
Fair start in Several Western
"... States.

Chicory is grown quite extensively
as a substitute or adulteration of
coffee. The root, which resembles
somewhat q beet, is the part used,
although the leaves have a value for
cattle food. It is essentially cool
climate crop, but is cultivated in
nearly every country in Europe. The
industry in this country has obtained
good start and is confined very
largely to sections of Michigan, ILL.,
nois, Wisconsin and Nebraska. Maur-
ice G. Kains, in a bulletin Of the
United States department of agricul-
ture, gives the average yield per
acre Ut six to ten tons, the average
Williston graphic. (Williston, Williams County, N.D.) 1895-1919, 1901-04-11

price as six to eight dollars, and the
cost of growing from $50 to $45 per
acre. With intelligent management,
fair season and an average yield
and price, the profit is somewhat
more than from growing corn or
wheat.
The varieties commonly grown are
Brunswick, Magdeburg and Schles-
ische, which are here illustrated.
The former two are of the same
form, Fig. b, the roots of Magde-
burg being somewhat longer, but
harder to dig, although more pro-
ductive. Schlesische has a short,
blunt, thick root, Fig. a, and is COM
paratively easy to dig. A deep loan
of medium richness and texture is
the best soil. In fact, any soil which
will allow a good root development
is suitable. A light dressing of stable
manure is used, but the best prac-
tice is to apply manure in excess to
the crop which precedes chicory.
Chicory does best when following
some cereal crop like wheat, barley
or oats. AS soon as the cereal is
harvested the land should be gang
plowed six inches deep. The surface
should be narrowed after every rain,
or once in two weeks until late fall,
when it should be plowed ten inches
deep. In spring the surface should
be narrowed down fine and kept mel
low until planting time. Chicory
should be sown at corn planting
time, when the weather has become
fairly settled. Seed is put in with a
garden drill at the rate of two
pounds per acre. 1t should be plant
ed about one-third of an inch deep,
in rows Is to 10 inches apart. The
cultivation should be similar to that
given beets. Harvesting should be-
gin in October, the later the better
before frost. The harvesting is sim
liar to that of beets. The roots are
sent to the factory, where they are
then carefully washed, cut into
pieces of irregular shape about half
an inch in diameter and roasted

Cornstalk Shelter for Hens.

A cornstalk shelter for the hens can
be made quickly and cheaply. The
hens are very fond of low, open shed
facing the south, and one can be bailt
of stalks that will last two or three
years or longer. Drive a few posts il.
the ground and wire some rails against
and on top of them. Lean the stalks
against these and lay them thickly an
top for the roof, which should have {
steep slant. Cover the roof with few
inches of straw and lay few stalks on
top to keep it in place, which will make
it waterproof. In the spring the stalks
may be taken down and thrown in the

scent Is Traced Back to William
the COnQneIOr.

The queen was descended from Viii.
liam the Conqueror, who claimed con-
nection with the previous regime and
included Alfred the Great among his
ancestors. Here is the family line,
traced backward from her majesty to
William, says the Toronto Mail and
Empire.

duke of Kent; third son of George

of Wales; son of George H.; son OF

queror.
The queen throughout the Georges
was a Guelph. This family was
founded in 4s9 by Anulphus Hunul-
plus, or Guelph, the first of the
northern kings of Italy. He subse-
quently obtained possession of Ba-
varia, and the Guelphs ruled there
for many centuries, and afterward
held sway in Saxony. One of the
Guelphs, William, founder of the
house of Nuremberg, had seven sons
and eight daughters. The sons
agreed among themselves not to d.
vide the dukedom. One, to be select
ed by lot, was to marry, and he and
his children after him were to rule.
The unusual arrangement was OBJ
served to the letter, and George, the
sixth brother, won the matrimonial
prize. His youngest son, Ernest Au-
gustus, succeeded him, marrying the
IACCtACoo OOpAItts OuuS ACCl VI CAC
king of Bohemia, whose wife was the
daughter of our James 1. The Elec-
tress Sophia, granddaughter of James
l., would have succeeded to the Brit
ish crown on the death of Queen
Anne. But she died seven weeks be-
fore that monarch, and her son,
George l., assembled the throne. BY
way of James I. and his daughter,
the queen was connected with the
Guelphs. She was also united in the
same way to the royal line of Scot
land. James I. of England, and the
sixth of Scotland, was the son of
Mary, queen of Scots, whose lineage
is traceable back to Elizabeth, Dun
can and Malcolm, of tragic fame. The
Scotch line, the Norman line and the
Hanoverian or Guelph line, all unite
in the queen and royal family. 1t is
claimed that one branch of the fam
lily tree reaches to Alfred the Great
and Egbert.

Corn Weakened by Smut.

The SHUTS of grain are due to a

gains an entrance to the grain plant
at some period in its existence after
the termination of the seed, and
grows entirely within the body Of its
host until it is mature, when it forms
it's spores or reproductive bodies in
some definite portion of the host,
