whe. the Bee. Clean House.

The honey bee, like every good
housekeeper, begins cleaning house
in the spring, as early as the wealth
CT will permit. They may be seen
at the hive entrance bringing out tho
bees that have died in the winter,
bits of comb, and everything that
may have accumulated in the hive as
waste material. They are not con-
tent to drop this at the edge of the
bottom board or near the hive, but
cart it all to some distance away,
and it looks strange to see bee fly
ing off with the body of a dead COM
rade as large as itself. This work is
done before they begin to gather
pollen or honey, and any colony that
does not attend to this as soon as
they can take good fight needs
looking after, as it is probably very.
weak, or perhaps queenless. After
they have completed this work, they
are ready to go to rearing brood,
and they may need feeding.-Rural

Mrs. August Pfalzgraf, Of South
Byron, Wis, mother Of the young lady
whose portrait we here publish, wrote
Mrs. Pinkham in January, 1899, saying
her daughter had suffered for two
years with irregular menstruation-
had headache all the time, and pain in
her side, feet swell, and was generally
miserable. Mrs. Pinkham promptly
replied with advice, and under date Of
March, 1899, the mother writes again
that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound cured her daughter Of all
pains and irregularity.
Nothing in the world equals Mrs.
Pinkham's great medicine for regu.
lating woman's peculiar monthly
troubles.

GRADE up THE FLOCK.
Start Right By GETTING q Good Roost-
er, One That Has Been Bred
Right and Il Right.

Have you got that strong, vigorous
cockerel to grade up your flock, to in
crease the egg yield and build up the
size of the birds you sell to market
It is quite time the bird was in the
breedingpen becoming acquainted with
his mates and preparing for the
springs duties.
It is an old and familiar axiom that
the male is half the pen. He may be
mated to q dozen females, hence the
chicks have any one of dozen moth
ers, but he is the father of all and i'm
parts his ,vigor and personality to all
the chicks.
Not only should this head of the
family be a pure-bred male, but he
should be bird of real merit, bred
with care and for purpose. Such a
bird has the power to reproduce him
self and will certainly improve next
seasons flock. A well-bred cockerel,
one bred from meat producing and egg
laying ancestry, will decidedly inn
prove the laying qualities of the pullets
and increase the size as we'll.
It common mistake to breed from
anything left over from the holiday
killings, because nothing else is at
hand. Don't repeat that mistake this
year. Start right by getting good
male bird, one that has been bred right
and is right; and his cost will be re-
turned to you many times over in the
laying vigor of his pullets and in
creased size 0f the chickens marketed.
Get pure-bred male for this years
breeding; get him now.-Practica]

The brooder house I have used for
the past five years accommodates

1t allows two feet for alley. two feet
for brooder and five feet for runs.
The part used for the runs is double
walled one foot high. The remainder
of the house is built of one-inch boards
battened, which makes it sufficiently

Abdul Hamid Accused of DupIicity IN
Dealing With NJ. Constans.

Paris, France.-A high official of
the Foreign Office said that the exact
situation at Constantinople is as fol-
lows:
The Sultan, at the last audience
which he granted to NJ. Constans, the
French Ambassador, agreed to send
the latter the same or on the following
day document giving complete sat
isfaction to France regarding the
claims of French citizens in the mat
ter of the quays, in accordance with
the terms arranged between the Sui
tan and NJ. Constans verbally. In
stead. of doing this the Sultan sent NJ.
Constans q document in which the
terms differed essentially from those
arranged at the audience. Thereupon
NJ. Constans declined to negotiate
any further or to hold other commu-
nications with the Porte, and re-
ferred the matter to the French For
eign Office. AS the matter stands re-
lations between NJ. Constans and the
Porte are broken off, but France and
Turkey are still in diplomatic rela-
tions through the Turkish Ambassa-
1Or at Paris.
IF the Sultan does not keep the
promises which he made at the last
audience" continued the official. "we
shall have to recall NJ. Constans and
send the Turkish Ambassador his
passports
Replying to question, the Foreign
Office official said:
"No naval action on the part of
France has yet been decided on. The
stories in the papers to the effect that
French warships are under orders to
be in readiness to proceed to the Bos-
porus have no foundation in fact Such
measure might, of course, become
necessary, but that eventually has
not yet been considered by the French
Government"
