"Svyeating" Bees.

The process known as Sweating" Is
not confined to human beings. 1t is
applied to bees by some up to date
keepers.
The natural tendency Of the bee to
wor; and its great dislike to idleness
are made use of to the fullest extent.
Honey IS a product that yields good
profit, so the beekeeper brings the
flowers as near as may be to the hive
and induces his insect gatherers to
work hard to collect the honey from
them.
An expert beekeeper gives the fol
lowing idea Of what they will do Sew
enty-fve acres Of land planted with
white clover or sanfOin will keep 100
hives busy during the three summer
months. The yield of honey for each
fine day is ten pounds per acre, and as
the plant flowers twice and remains In
bloom for a week very often the total
yield is 10000 pounds.
Combmaking is lighter and less dan
gerous work than gathering honey, so
the young bees usually perform this
task. But the keeper wants them all
to work and work hard, so he provides
the base Of the comb In natural size
and pure wax. That leaves less work
I. be done at home, and the bees go
out Immediately there is nothing more
for them to do inside. The keeper also
takes care to constantly empty the
combs. so that the bees shall always
be laboring to fill it.-London Stand

should be used only to smooth the sur
face and restore the original crown.
Apparently some operators assume that
the machine is not to be used except to
increase the crown of the road. EN-
plOyed in this way the crown is made
too great, and a big ridge of loose earth
is left in the middle of the road which
only slowly consOlidates and which is
likely to be washed into the side ditch
eS To make trouble there. Since the in
PRODUCTION of the road machine there
has developed a strong tendency to in
crease the crown Of the road unduly.
Doubtless the object is to secure better
drainage of the rOadbed, but piling up
the earth is an inadequate substitute
for tile drainage. Side slopes sleeper
than just enough to turn the water into
the side bitches are n detriment.
In smoothing the road the road ma
chine should be run over the ground
lightly so as to smooth down the ridges
and fill up the ruts. Only enough earth
should be moved toward the center of
the roadway to replace that washed
down by the rains. The blade should
stand nearly square across the road,
and considerable earth should be shov-
ed along in front Of the blade so as to
have enough loose earth to fill any de-
pressions. The surplus earth should
be evenly distributed along on the sur
face.
This work should be done early, be-
fore the ground becomes hard and diff
cult to work and before traffic has been
compelled partially to do the work of
the road leveler and while the surface
is in condition to unite with the loose
earth left by the machine. Unfortu-
nately this work is often postponed until
the ground is so hard that it is impos-
sible to do a thoroughly good job. If
the ground is Il little too wet for agri-
cultural tillage, it is all the better for
roadmaking, since it will pack better
than though it were drier. During the
summer, if the road becomes very bad
ly rutted, the road machine should be
run lightly over 1t.
In the summer when the roads get
roughed up they can be materially i'm
proved at small expense by running
over them with a harrow having the
teeth down quite fiat.
Finally, during the fall the roads
should be repaired with special refer
ence to getting them into good shape
for the winter. Any saucerlike depres-
sion or ruts should be filled with earth
like that Of the roadbed. The mate
rial should be solidly tamped into
place Holes and ruts should never be
filled with stone, bricks or coarse gray
el. The hard material will not wear
uniform with the rest of the road, but
produce bumps and ridges and usually
result In making two holes, each larger
than the original one 1t is a bad prac
tice to cut n gutter from hole to drain
it to the side of the road. Filling 1t is
the proper course, whether the hole is
dry or contains mud. The holes most
requiring attention are found at the
end of bridges and along the sides of
small wooden box culyerts.

MAKING A NEW TOWN.
What "a Grent Industry Has Done In
Pennsylvania.


IrnnsylNInin.
The town Of South Sharon Is Il crea
ton of the Sharon Steel company. The
originators Of the company about two
years ago purchased over 1000 acres
south of Sharon, and after selecting
sites for the furnaces and mills laid out
the remainder of the land in lot plans.
The lots have been disposed of with
phenomenal rapidity.
The steel company has under course
of erection 800 dwellings, to be either
sold or rented, as tenants may prefer.
There are also over 15O other houses
going up in the town. When all the
mills are running, many more homes
will be erected to accommodate work
men, to say nothing of other inhab-
itants of the place
The main streets have been paved
and severed. and tracks for an electric
car line between the town and Sharon
have been completed 1t Is likely that
the town will be incorporated as bor-
ough and called Bull City, in honor of
the first president of the steel com
pany.
The new town Is now in the midst Of
q building boom. The finest building
thus far erected Is the four story brick
office structure Of the company on Il
terrace % feet above Broadway, the
main street. The next building Of
prominence is the Broadway hotel. In
the business section stores are being
built, another hotel is soon to go up,
and in the residence districts many
handsome homes are being erected.

ROAD MAINTENANCE.
KEEP THE SURFACE FREE FROM
HOLES AND RUTS.

Proper Use of the Road Grader--A
Homemade MISUNDERSTANDING the
Highvny-AngIe of Side slopes.
Preparing For Winter.
The chief object in the maintenance
Of an earth road is to get rid of the wa
ter as quickly and as fully as possible.
In maintenance, as in construction, wa
ter Is the great enemy of good roads.
The secret of success in maintenance
IS to keep the surface smooth and the
side bitches open, says Professor Ira
.. Baker in Illinois experiment station
bulletin
There are several machines or devices
which are very effective in filling the
ruts and depressions and in keeping the
surface smooth. Different tools are
best under different conditions. The
writer has seen a heavy stick Of tim
Der shod with steel plate and drawn
by two horses used for this purpose
with great success. He has also seen
n railroad rail so used. The rail is usu-
ally II or 1G feet long and is drawn by
lOuI ubIStS. W lCll lllc SIOulll - Iltl-
low and loose after freezing and thaw-
ing. the rail will smooth the road down
nicely and do it more rapidly than the
road machine, since it cuts n wider
swath One round trip is sufficient for
any road. The time when the work is
most advantageously done is compara-
lively limited, and therefore one rail
should not be expected to cover too
much road.
In the late spring, after the ground
has settled, the roads should be pre-
pared for summer travel by being shap-
ed up with the road machine or road
grader When this work is to be done
the ground is comparatively dry, and
consequently the heavier road scraper
is required and can be handled on the
roads. It is somewhat unfortunate
that this tool is ordinarily called a road
grader, since the name has possibly
led to Il miScOnCeption as to an impor-
tant use of the machine. AS an instru-
ment of road construction this machine
is used to give a crown to the road, but
as an instrument of maintenance it
