USING HI SMOKER.
Upon Its Proper Manipulation De
pends the ProhtabIeness of the
Bees and Hives.

No one should be without a bee.
smoker, even if they have but one col.
ony OF bees. Good manipulation of the
bees and hives depends upon a smoker.
The smoker in your hands when work
ing with the bees always makes you
the master, while without it the bees
are usually boss. The smoker is the
beginners sure guide to success, if he
acquaints himself with the proper use
of it. There are many different styles
and makes of bee-smokers, but they all
answer the purpose very well. smok-
er will cost all the way from so cents
to $3.50, but the cheapest will let you
out of many a difficulty with the bees.
Fuel to be used in smokers may con
sist of cotton rags, shavings, but de-
cayed wood that is well dried is per-
haps the best.
The beginner is apt to use the smok-
er too severely at first, and finally ex-
perience will teach him to use it spar
ingly. 1t is not only useless to smoke
bees too much, but it is damaging to
their best welfare at any time. De-
~casionally we find a very vindictive
colony that requires severe smoking,
but this is exceptional, and not the
rule by any means. 1t is best to try at
first to handle the colony without
smoke at all, but if they resist use but
little smoke at first, and in most cases
a very small amount will answer much
better than severe smoking. | have
seen colonies driven into a fighting
mood just because they had received
too much chastising in the way of Sc
we're smoking. There are seasons of
the year that bees are more gentle than
at other times, and while they will al
low themselves to be handled without
making any resistance at all during
the season they are gathering honey
at other times they will promptly re-
bel.
After the close of the honey season
they become very irritable and usu-
ally smoke must be used to put them
in condition for handling. It is best to
modest them as little as possible after
this time, other than see that each col
ony is in proper condition, and all have
queens.-A. Fl. Duff, in Farm. Field and
Fireside.

SOME RICH Y TIPS.
High FunctiOnaries Who Receive
Valuable Gifts for Performs
ing Certain Acts.

The hereditary rights of the mobiles
are now mostly confined to such serv-
ices as carrying the orb, supporting
the kings right arm while he holds the
royal scepter, carrying the kings
spurs-in Queen Victoria's case they
were borne by Lord Byron-walking
beside the king in the abbey, and so
on through the list of all possible
little services that might be rendered
to his majesty, says an article on the
coronation of Edward VII, in Frank
Leslie's Monthly.
Before the coronation banquet was
abolished it was the privilege of the
lord great chamberlain to serve the
king with a silver basin and Jug con-
tanning water wherewith his majesty
might wash his hands before the ban
quet. In reward for this difficult serv-
ice the lord great chamberlain re-
ceived the silver jug and basin, to-
gether with 40 yards of crimson velvet,
The duke of Norfolk can show papers

great chamberlain, together with the
lord chamberlain, were entitled to

furniture of his chamber where he Law

ANTI-SERvANT SOCIETY.
Guests mt Parties in Paris Who Cook
Meals and Serve Others
as Walters.

Paris, just now, is more or less ex.
cited over a new phase of social life,
which is known by the name "Corinth-
ianism." 1t seems entirely too mag.
nificent a title for anything of the
kind. 1t really looks to such sim
plicity in life as will result gradually
in the disappearance of the domestic
servant. 1t is an application of the
theory of self-help to domestic life to
a degree astonishing to persons un.
familiar with the eccentricities OF
Paris life. Even the efforts at eco
nomical reform r not seriously re.
garded there, says a London exchange
The quality of "Corinthianism" is
shown best by a dinner party, at which
the guests are believers in the new
doctrine. The guests cook the meal,
lay the table, and two of the younger
persons present act as walters. This
is the equality, which the French are
supposed to prize so highly, applied to
sociallife. In the household, of course,
every person is expected to do his own
work.
The adherents of "Corinthianism"
contend that it solves the servant
question, in addition to conforming to
the highest social rules. 1t restores
people to the original state in which
no classes existed, and conforms to
other high social standards. 1t may
do all these admirable things, but
there are yet many persons who
think that it would be better not to
give a dinner party at all than to have
the guests cook the dinner.

SAVED THE BABY.

New Providence, Iowa, July 9TH
Little Helen Moon, the three-year-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. e. V. Moon,
of this place, had a narrow escape
from death.
Her mother noticed she seemed to
be very clumsy and complained when
she was rocked. Her limbs and face
were bloated badly.
A doctor was summoned but she
got no better. He said she had Kid
ney Trouble in the worst form.
Two other doctors were called in
and they agreed that there was very
little, if any, hope. She was bloated
all over, her eyes being completely
closed and her abdomen bloated I'M
til it vas purple.
They bought six boxes of Dodd's
Kidney Pills and she commenced to
improve at once. She had used nine
boxes before the Dropsy was all
gone. The treatment was continued
and now she is as well as ever.
Dodd's Kidney Pills certainly saved
the little ones life.

Treatment Of Distemper.

Distemper is a disease common to
horses that, as a rule, requires no
treatment, as it runs out and the ami
NAL gets well in about ten days, says
Farm and Ranch. 1t is recognized by
swellings under the jaw and some.
times below the ear, that form alb
scesses containing pus, and, if not
lanced, will in time burst of them
selves. The animals, should not be
worked, but fed on good food, with
plenty of fresh water, and, if the bow
els are constipated, a quart of raw
linseed oil should be given carefully
as a drench by the mouth, never by
the nose, and, if kidneys are sluggish,
give a teaspoonful of powdered salt
peter once a day for several days.

"Bowel trouble says the Country
Gentleman, sis frequent in some
poultry yards during the hot season.
In most cases it is preventable. Foul
drinking water, putrid meat and sour
food all tend to produce diarrhea in
the flock. Observe strict cleanliness
in the houses and yards, and give the
birds only pure food and water. Plow
or dig over the runs frequently, SOW
them down to rye or other grain and
so keep the ground sweet. Foul runs
are a prolific source of disease. Keep
the grit and charcoal box full, so that
the birds may have free access to
them. Remember that one keep
clean is worth many clean ups Do
not feed meat food too heavily while
the weather is hot, and be sure that
the fowls have plenty of fresh green
food Or a c4ean grass run Don't over
feed. Quarantine all new arrivals"

Farm Wages in Michigan.

A report of the secretary of agricul-
ture of Michigan says: The average
monthly wages, with board, in the
southern counties, is $20.35, in the CEN
trail counties $19.s2, in the northern
counties $20.27, and in the state 5000.
The average wages by the day, with
out board, in the southern counties
Is $1.21, in the central counties $1.2O,
in the northern counties $1.29, and in
the state $1.22. The average wages by
the month last year, with board, was,
in the state 1884, and the average
wages by the day, without board, was.
in the state $1.16. Many correspond.
ents report that farm laborers are very
scarce, which is indicated by the con.
tinued rise in wages.

WI ARE PROUD OF THE YOUNG WOMEN OF AMER
1CA, for they are inferior to none in beauty and surpass all others
in sprightliness, independence and magnetic power. A boy who never
mnglcs with girls and never feels the refining influence of the pentler
sex is certain to develop into an awkward, boorish fellow. The chief
advantage Of coeducation lies in the harmonizing influences Of the
girls upon the boys and in the development Of strength and COURAGE
in the girls by coming in contact with vigorous boyish life.
AS a nation we are faulty in the lack of physical education for
our young women. In the average family the daughters are told
that to romp is ~urladylke. The American woman thinks more 81
what she puts on her daughters backs than into their constitutions
consequently the American women fade early and cannot proner1v
endure the strains OF modern life. If an English girl can pav cricLet
with her brothers, why should not an American girl plav sometb;po
better than bean bag? A lily white complexion may be a beautuni
sight from an artistic point OF view, but it shows that the blood is
weak and that the owner thereof is more fit for heaven than for earth

Value of Salt for sheen.

The value of salt for sheep is shown
by an experiment in France, where
three lots Of animals were fed on hay,
straw, potatoes and beans for 124
days. One lot had no salt, one had
half an ounce of salt each day, and the
other had three-fourths of an ounce.
Those that had half al ounce gained
four and a half pounds each more than
those which had no salt, and one and
one-quarter pounds more than those
which had more than half an ounce.
The sailed sheep clipped one and three
quarters pounds more Of wool and q
better fleece than those that had no
salt. showing better results in the
wool.

Grading Hogs for shipment.

Too much care cannot be exercised
in grading hogs for shipment. Uni
formity of size and quality is neces-
sary to secure the best prices; a few
fabby, half-finished animals will
sometimes result in the entire load
selling for several cents per hundred
pounds less than it would if every ami
NAL were uniform. This in the aggre-
gate amounts to a sum considerably
in excess of the value of the poorly
finished hogs in the load. 1t is better
to ship a load three or four short and
have an even lot than to send in the
full number and have the uniformity
broken by three or four culls, which
nearly always take a position on the
outside of the bunch for the inspec.
ton of the buyer.-Midland Farmer.
