AMBROSE M'KAY's CASE.

Rockbridge, Mo-, H1se e4th:-The
neighborhood and particularly the
members of Rockbridge Lodge, No.
4s5. A. F. & A. NJ, are feeling very
much pleased over the recovery of Mr..
Ambrose Mckay, a prominent citizen
and an honored member Of the Ma
sonic Fraternity.
Mr.. Mckay had been suffering for
years with Diabetes and Rheumatism,
which recently threatened to end his
days. His limbs were SO filled with
pain that he could not sleep. He was
very bad.
Just then, someone suggested new
remedy-Dodd's Kidney Pills-which
has been much advertised recently, as
a cure for Bright's Disease, Diabetes,
Dropsy, Rheumatism and Kidney
Trouble.
After Mr.. Mckay had used few
doses, he commenced to improve. His
pain all left him, and he is almost as
well as ever. He says Dodd's Kidney
Pills are worth much more than they
cost. They are certainly getting a
great reputation in Missouri, and
many very startling cures are being
reported.

Buzz1NGs FROM BEEDoM.

Extracted honey will lose favor
quicker than honey left longer on the
hives.
If the queen bee be clipped or kept
in the hive by an entrance guard, the
workers will kill her.
Clipped wings will not prevent
swarms from going to the woods.
Neither will entrance guards pre-
vent it.
Grating or inoculating larvae in the
queen cells was practiced first by q
German apiarist, Meuring, in 1866. He
was first, also, to use comb founda-
ton.
Moth eggs call for sulphur or bisul-
phide of carbon. The sulphur will not
kill the eggs. but the bisulphide will.
Either will be effective after the moth
passes the egg stage.

forage. and this ought to increase
their planting. Surely, every farmer,
who has a number of colonies of bees,
will find these crops double yielders,
giving both honey for the bees and
forage or grain for other uses.-Ella

IMPROVING THE FLOCK.
new to Introduce rev Blo.a vitAeve
Going to N Unneeessarlly
Heavy Expense.

In buying new blood one needs to
use judgment. For instance, If one in
tends buying cockerels they should DO
purchased early in the fall, when poul-
try breeders have surplus of male
birds and can sell cockerels for grad
ing purposes very reasonable, says q
writer in the Poultry Herald. Then, il
one has q large flock of common hens
and does not intend to separate them
in the breeding season, enough Geek
erels can be purchased to mate with
the entire flock, for If there are any
mixed ROSTERS kept IN the flock there
is more liability Of the hens mating
with them than the strange males. AS
an example, q case just recently
brought to our attention where .
farmer. bought two pure-bred males
to run with his farm flock and kept
also two of his own ROSTERS in the
flock. His two males fought the pure
bred ones SO that they would not stay
among the hens.
In 3 case like that there would be
very few of the chicks siredi by: the
pure-bred cockerels, whereas. if no
had bought four cockerels of pure
breed and killed of all of his males
every chick he raised would be half
pure blood, and in that way he would
have been improving his flock and get
ting value for his money investment
in the pure-bred males. AS it is he gets
nothing whatever from them unless it
is the satisfaction Of buying them and
having them on the farm.
Every farmer OF poultry raiser
should have place where he can sep
arate few of his best hens for breed
ing purposes Tin most cases seven or
eight hens will lay all the eggs wanted
for Matching purposes) and then only
one male is needed, and the keeper
can afford to buy one of the better
quality and make more rapid progress
in the improvement of the flock
Some people, however, do not take
interest enough to separate the flock
for breeding purposes. In such cases
it will pay best to buy setting or two
of eggs and raise the pure-bred cock
erels, as one is pretty sure to get a
nice lot of cockerels. and in most cases
more than is needed, when he can
often sell for more than the cost of
the eggs the surplus cockerels and
pullets to some one who desires to
raise pure-bred fowls.

Actual Experience Counts.


The poultry business is as much a
trade as anything else, and must be
studied and practiced. Would man
expect to go into the carpenter trade
without studying it and expect to build
a house successfully without first hav-
ing learned the important principles?
Yet a novice will go into the poultry
business and expect to succeed by the
knowledge he has acquired from 9TH
ers-secondhand. Now, this second
hand knowledge is good, very good,
but it must be made available by ac-
tual experience, just as the young car
penter must learn by actually work
ing at his business with his hands,

WORKING AMONG BEES.

ous ~ Many suppose.

Every farmer who keeps bees should
provide himself with bee veil that
fits over the hat and is secured under
the suspenders inside the coat or vest.
The hands and wrists may be protect
ed by wearing mitts without fingers,
says Fannie NJ. Wood, in the n. E.
Homestead. When one does not
wear boots the pants may be
tucked inside the stocking leg; a
nervous man would not care about the
bees creeping inside the pants. A
good bee smoker is indispensable. Dry
rotten wood, that will crush easily in
the hands, makes plenty of smoke
without much heat and never goes out.
Rubber cloths are useful. They are
made of coarse linen or burlap. take up
water easily, and are large enough to
lap two or three in over and over the
sides and ends of the top edges of the
hive. Wet and wiring them out before
using; they will lie down smooth and
close. When take the cover off a hive
or super, one of these wet cloths is
laid on quickly. If any of the bees are
next to it they will quickly get from
under. 1t retains the warmth of the
bees, can be turned back as much as
needed to take out a frame or more
without disturbing the rest of the
bees. In changing supers it keeps all
the bees in their places, out of the way
of the operator. If smoked when wet
and laid on the top of the hive the
scentof the smoke will cause the bees
to fill up on honey and they will be
submissive. The farm beekeeper should
have one or more feeders. They are
inexpensive and come handy when
necessary to feed the bees.

flock. The two outside boards should
be notched one by two inches and IL
inches apart. Having notched two
boards and placed at height wanted,
about seven feet apart, take good
roofing lath, one by two inches, about
eight feet long, and lay crosswise in
notches. This will make swinging
roost. but fowls will soon get used to
it and seem to delight in a swing. This
roost one can walk all around and
reach almost any fowl on the perch.
Look for lice where lath cross the
boards; kill them with coal oil. Lath
should be slightly rounded on top.
Such a roost will accommodate so
fowls if necessary to place as many
together and all are on level.-D. E.

Poultry House In sam naer.

One important matter in summer is
that the poultry house in which fowls
roost should be well ventilated. The
house should also be frequently white
washed and the ground kept free from
droppings. The perches should never
be high-about one or two feet from
the ground being sufficient-as in fly
ing either up or down, if put too high.

Egg. wasted by overfeeainx.

The man who feeds three times q
day. and gives the hens so much kind
ness that they will not scratch or
work, but sit down and wait for him
to come around at the regular hour,
simply wastes time, labor and food.
What is more. he wastes eggs, for such
hens lay but few eggs, because they
are in fat condition. OF course, hens
should not be poor in flesh, but there
is no need of feeding hens more than
they actually require. Eggs are costly
luxuries when the hens do not lay reg.
ularly, and nine-tenths of the failures
are due to overfeeding.-The Poultry
Keeper.

Boys Essay on the Hen.

A hen is an animal made by the
Creator of the universe, which is COW
cred with feathers. and has bill. The
hen stands on two feet, except when
she is tired, and then she stands on
one, and eats corn with her bill. When
the hen sits, she sits down to lay, and
when she lays down she lays down to
set. The hens eggs are good to eat
unless they have been set on.-Ameri-
