Dampness Causes Many Ills.

Protection from dampness is of the
greatest Importance. More injury
comes TO chicks from dampness than
from all else besides. If they can
find dry spot for their feet dur
ing the day and a warm, dry place
to stay in at night, they will do fair
ly veil, even during a long vet
period, after they are three or fur
weeks old. Small chicks suffer very
much during wet weather, and should
be protected from both wet and
dampness. Cold and damrhess pro-
duce colds and bowel trouble, either
of which is very disastrous to a brood
of chicks. During wet weather il is
not amiss to tie small piece OF gum
camphor with a small stone in a
piece of cloth, and put in their drink
ing water. 1t is one of the best sinn-
pie remedies for colds.-Country Gen
tleman.

NOTES FOR SHEEPMEN.
Stick to your breed.

Stick to your brood.
The conditions for q healthier wool
trade are more favorable.
Less crossing and better blood line
breeding would be a blessed good
thing for the country.
More sheep will be imported this
year than ever before, particularly
of the very high class variety.
Each succeeding week shows signs
of an increasing wool trade and the
outlook is more promising.
Advices from abroad reveal a very
unsatisfactory condition prevailing
in the woolen manufacturing centers,
many of the factories producing only
a very small percentage of their full
capacity.
The London wool auction sales now
in progress are not at all satisfac-
tory, Merinos barely commanding a
price equal to the closing values of
the last series, and all cross-breds
have declined from five to six per
cent.-American Sheep Breeder.

GOOD HIVES FOR BEES.
Work That should BE Done as soon
as the Busy Little insects Be-
gin Their Work.

Hives become unfit for good manipu-
spring and put in good order we lose
a great part of their usefulness. Bees
carry in large quantities of propolis or
bee glue and plaster il over the inside
of the hives and over the frames in
such quantities that it almost disqual-
ifies the frame hive for the use 1T is
intended. Bees also build burr combs
around the edges of the frames, and
about in the inside of the hive; this
also blocks good handling. While hives
are made to prevent the building Of
burr combs as much as possible no
hives entirely prevent it.
During the honey season bees fre-
quently build out some of their combs
in which they store honey so wide
that they can scarcely be placed back
in the hives without bruising the
combs and killing bees. These combs
should be trimmed down to the proper
thickness by shaving off the surface
with sharp knife. The frames should
be cleaned of propolis and burr combs,
thus putting the frame in the best
shape for good handling during the
honey season.
We can clean up the hives nicely by
beginning with clean one and setting
the frames with contents. bees and all,
into it from another; then this one
may be prepared for the next colony,
and so on until the entire number OF
hives are put in good shape and with
but one empty hive 10 start with.
This is the important work to be
done in spring and should be done just
after the weather gets warm and the
bees are beginning work. Transfer
ring bees from old hives into new ones,
and all the work of cutting out and
STRENGTHENING up the combs in the
frames should be done at this time.
Some who are not well posted become
discouraged with combs that have
turned black and think them worth
less, but by no means is this the case,
for after brood is reared in combs
they all turn black, but are not inn
paired from usefulness.-A. II. Duff, in

objects upon which bird may light.
No bait is needed. The trap is simply
opened on top of the pole, where the
bird sets it off and is caught in the act
of alighting, a. OF course the trap
must be firmly secured to the pole.
The device is based on the principle
that birds of prey habitually light on
prominent objects in large open
spaces, where they will have a good
outlook for game. A trap well placed
Will, during one season, catch all the
hawks within a radius of several
miles. Owls and other large birds are
also frequently found in the trap. The

pole, the better 1t is.-Orange Judd

SIXTY DOLLARS AN HOUR.
Estimated Cost to the Citizens Of Hos
ton of Keeping Watch ON Two Rat
Holes the Other Day,

This is a story of a rat and two
holes in the ground. The holes were
very small holes, just big enough to
let two rats into the cellar of the
Old South meeting house, and prob
ably more than big enough to let
them, wiser and leaner rats, out
again, says the Boston Evening Tran
script.
These two holes, with the intermit-
tent assistance of the rat, entertained
the good citizens of Boston at the
rate of 1000 an hour for an indefinite
period in the middle of one day re-
Gently. 1t is easy enough TO reckon.
During the show there were from 80
to 35 people standing in choice posi-
tions along the Milk and Washington
street ratings of the fence about the
tiny yard of the Old South meeting
house, constantly changing crowd
that renewed itself every minute.
Now in this crowd were all kinds
of persons, from the Office boy at
three dollars week to the broker
at $500. Everyone watched his min
ute before he went about his busi-
ness; for some the monetary loss was
only the fraction of Il cent; for 9th
ers it mounted up in The dollars. \
low and conservative estimate of the
average monetary value of these peo-
pie is 20 cents an hour. Thirty peo-
pie standing for one minute are equal
to one person standing for half an
hour. But the entertainment extend
ed over many minutes. An hour of it
for 1000 people was paid for by Bos-
ton employees in $50 worth of time.
What did this $50 crowd of 1000
persons see for its money? Most of
the people two holes in the ground;
some of them the bright, beady eyes
poor fellow was probably trying to
get away to some less hallowed, but
more fruitful surroundings, when the
first observing eye saw him and by
looking collected the audience. He
lay low for many long minutes, so
many that the whole crowd about
the fence was in utter ignorance of
what ii was watching; but still the
crowd hung on, looking at the holes,
or gazing up at the sparrows which
twittered i'll and out of their nests
in the close ivy growth on the wall.
Every time the rat looked out one or
two saw him, and then everybody
devoted his attention to the holes
again. And neither rats nor holes
can have known how much they were
costing the employers all over Bos-

The best method to follow for the
smaller breeds is TO teach them to go
upon a roost as soon as they are old
enough. Place roost in their coop
as soon as they are old enough to leave
the hen or brooder, so that they will
learn the habit of roosting as it keeps
1heirlegs in better shape as to smooth
ness and color. This will not do so
well for larger fowls as they are so
heavy and clumsy that it is not of ben
eft to them, for the reason that it
often bends their breastbone out Of
shape. The best plan for them during
the summer is in open sheds upon
clean sand, protected from all rowing
animals by wire cloth fronts to the
sheds. These sheds or runs should be
cleaned up every morning and raked
over so as to keep them clean and
sweet.-Country Gentleman. -

DIR. Mcnamara, NJ. P, is skeptical Of the
origin of most of the witticisms ascribed to
children. He asserts that they are manu-
factured by children of an older growth,
chiefly because they make good reading
But in his own experience he has come
across some genuine witticisms, some of
them unconsciously humorous, by school
children. At an examination in Scripture
the question was asked; "What did Moses
do for living while he was with Jethro!"
A worldly-wise youngster replied: "Please,

Few Things for Hunters to Remember

protection of game in the county. 1t
Is appropos by reason oil the near
opening Of the hunting season 1t
Is as follows:
FEW THINGS HUNTERS SHOULD RE

That reliable statistics show that
in general game bird and animal life
is on the decrease.
That this decrease is largely due
to thoughtless hunters who hunt for
meat aud who kill as long as there
il anything left to kill, regardless Of
future supply.
'rhet seav shaala content them
selves with moderate bags-enough
only for their immediate use.
That no hunter who believes In fair
play, would kill a bird when 1t Is
not on the wing or drive rabbit
from its hole.
That the true sport In taking
game comes from putting the hunt
er's knowledge aud skill against the
craftiness and swiftness Of the game.
That, though the Il. S. Supreme
court says that wild game Is the
property equally Of all the people of
the state, yet farmers and land hold
ers have rights ard wishes in the
matter and no sportsman would dis

That game laws are made for the
benefit of the greatest number of
people and their violation Is evil
denee of poor citizenship.
With these things In view the fol-
lowing notice has been issued:
We, the Monongalia County
