FIGHTING SEVEN DAYS
According to the Latest News OF
the Battle of Aqua DuIce,
Colombia.
REPORTED REVoLUTIONIsT DEFEAT
But No Confirmation ThereOf-ColOm-
bian GunbOat Missing with
500 Men ON Beard.

Washington, Aug. ga dispatch
dated yesterday, received at the Co.
lOmbian legation last night, from Gov
ernor Salazar, of the department OF
Panama, reports that fighting between
the government troops and the revOlu-
tiOnists at Aqua Dulce still continues.
The battle has now ragged since last
Tuesday.
Report That Herrera Is Defeated.
Panama, Colombia, Aug. 5.-Tele-
graphic communication with San Car
los was re-estab lished yesterday after
noon, and at 8 p. m. General Salazar
received a telegram from San Carlos
saying that some revolutionary officers
belonging to the forces of General
Herrera had passed that town in fight.
They reported the defeat of the revO-
lutionists at Aqua Dulce. This news
has not been confirmed.
Government Gunboat Missing.
The United States cruiser Ranger is
reported to have gone to Aqua Dulce
for the purpose of bringing wounded
back to Panama. Definite news of
the engagement is expected when she
returns. The government gunboat
Boyaca, which is missing, left here
last Tuesday with achievements for
General Morales Bert, who is located
near the port of Aqua Dulce. She was
, attacked by the revolutionary feet and
obliged to retreat. Since that time
nothing has been heard of the Boyaca,
| but being faster than the revolutionary
gunboat Padilla she is believed to have
escaped.
Ranger Would Go in Search.
General Salazar, governor of Pan
anna, is of the opinion that some acct
dent has happened to the gunboat
which has left her helpless at sea or
! stranded on the coast of some island.
| United States Consul General Gudger
| and Captain Potter, of the United
States cruiser Ranger, have sent a
cablegram to Washington asking per-
mission, for the sake of humanity, for
the Ranger to search for the Boyaca.
! There are over 800 men on board the
Colombian gunboat, and Generel Sal
azar hopes that the Ranger will be
permitted to go their rescue.

BRAN IS EXCELLENT.
Poultry Thrive on 1t Because 1t Con-
tains a Generous Proportion
of Rich Lime.

Bran is excellent for poultry, and
one point in favor of bran is that
it contains a much larger proper
ton of lime than any other cheap
food derived from grain, and as the
shells of eggs are composed of lime
it is essential that food rich in lime
be provided. 1t may be urged that
the use of oyster shells will pro-
vide lime, but it will be found that
it is the lime in the food that is
most serviceable, because it is in a
form that can be better digested and
assimilated than carbonate of lime,
says the American Fancier.
Glover is also rich in lime; and
when a mess of cut clover and bran
is given the fowls they will need no
oyster shells or other mineral mat
ter as source from which to draw
the supply of lime for the eggs. Do
not forget that in summer, however,
the use of all kinds of foods should
be used with judgment. If the hens
have a free range give no food at all
as long as they are laying, but if
they begin to fall off, let bran be the
leading ingredient of the food al
lowed. In winter the bran and clover
are even more essential, as the fowls
cannot then secure green food on the
range.

Have Learned a Lesson.

Those who stick to the old method
of setting hens, and there are many
thousands who do, have learned val
liable lessons from the incubator,
says an exchange. First: They have
learned to choose eggs of uniform
size and of perfect shape, with sound
shells. AS incubator chickens do not
have lice, they have learned, second
ly, to dust thoroughly their hens be-
fore setting, and two or three times
during the period of incubation.
Thirdly: They have learned to use
clean nest boxes and clean bedding.
They confine the hens to coops and
take great pains to place proper food
and water before them. Fourthly:
Many test the eggs under hens. fol-
lowing the example of the machine
men, and after testing three sittings,
for example, and throwing out the
infertile eggs, place the live eggs un-
der the two hens and reset the third,
thus gaining time and compelling
ssBiddy" to do her full share of the
work.

JUNE IN NORTHERN ITALY.
It's Beauties Interestingly Described
by a Writer Who Has Visited
That Country.

Varallo itself is but days journey
from Andorno. In June weather the
drive thither is beautiful. The narrow
country road mounts through chestnut
groves as fine as those which cast their
velvet shade for miles about Promon-
togno. At first the eye dips from one
green ravine into another, but at
Mosso Santa Maria, the highest point
of ascent, the glorious plain again
into view, with white roads winding
toward distant cities, and the near
tanks of the hills clothed in an unbrok-
en- forest. The Val Sesia is broader
than the Val d'Andorno, and proper
tionately less picturesque; but it's ex-
panse of wheat and vine, checkered
with shade and overhung by piled-up
messy rocks, contrasts effectively
enough with the landscape of the
higher valleys, says Edith Wharton, in
Scribner's. AS Varallo is neared the
hills close in and the scenery regains it's
sub-Alpine character. Unforgettable
is the first glimpse of the old town,
caught suddenly at bend of the road,
with the sanctuary lifted high above
the river, and the tiled roofs and
church towers clustered at it's base.
The near approach is a disenchant-
ment; for few towns have suffered
more than Varallo under the knife of
modern improvement" and those who
did not know it in earlier days would
never have guessed that it was once the
most picturesque town in north Italy.
A dusty, wideavenued suburb thinly
scattered with cheap villas, now leads
from the station to the edge of the old
town; and the beautiful slope facing
the Sacred Mountain has been cleared
of it's natural growth and planted with
moribund palms and camellias, to
form the pleasure" grounds of huge
stucco hotel with failure written over
every inch of its pretentious facade.
One knows not whether to lament the
impairment of such completeness, or
to find consolation in the fact that
Varallo is rich enough not to be ruined
by it's losses. Ten or fifteen years ago
every aspect was enchanting; now one
must choose ones point of view, but
one or two of the finest are still intact.
Turning ones back, for instance, on
the offending hotel, one has still, on
summer morning, the rarest vision of
wood and water and happily blended
architecture; the Sesia, with it's soft
meadows and leafy banks the old
houses huddled above it, and the high
cliff crowned by the chapels of the Sa-
cred Way. At night all melts to a di-
viner loneliness. The clustered dark
ness of the town, twinkling with lights,
lies folded in hills delicately traced
against sky mauve with moonlight
Here and there the moon Furnishes a
somber mass of trees, or makes cam
panile stand out pale and definite as
ivory; while high above the cliff pro-
jects against the sky with an almost
Greek purity of outline, the white
domes and arches of the Sanctuary.

BUILDING COLONIES.
Timely Advice for Beekeepers Who
Are DESTROYS of Obtaining
Good Crop of Honey.

We want to build all our colonies of
bees up strong, for those that are
strong in numbers are the only ones
we can count on to store good crop
of surplus. One of the greatest draw
backs to successful bee keeping is that
there are so many weak colonies on
hand at the beginning of the honey
flow that it takes them through the
short honey harvest to become strong
enough to store honey. Each and
every hive should be overfowing with
bees at the beginning of the principal
honey harvest, for when they are thus
very populous they can be depended
upon to do good work, if the season is
good.
Too many colonies run short of pro-
vision during spring when they are
building up, and the result is that they
are crippled in force, for they cannot
rear brood without plenty of food in
the hive or have daily access to flow
of honey. Feeding is the only meth
cd that will bring them up to standard
requirements, hence they should be
literally fed.
Weak colonies may be brought up
strong very rapidly by giving them
some brood from the stronger ones,
but we must exercise care in this or
we will cripple the strongest ones and
be no better off than before. Draw
only on extremely strong colonies to
strengthen weak ones. If we have col
onies that are in danger of swarming
before the honey season is properly on,
we can draw from them and thus check
them from swarming.
1t is always in order to save frames
of honey over from one season to an
other for the purpose of supplying
the bees with honey in spring. This
is the most simple and easiest way of
doing it, besides the most sure Keep
off all surplus boxes during spring and
confine the bees to the brood cham
Der until near the approach of the
honey harvest.-A. II. Duff, in Farm
ers' Voice.

Drive Disease Into Trees

A very curious superstition appears
to be gaining ground in Berlin and
claiming large number of support
ers. Three doctors" have established
a reputation for Graduating disease
from men and beasts and driving it
into trees. The cures are effected at
night on Tuesdays and Fridays of the
week of full moon. A needle is stuck
into the skin over the affected part of
the body and remains there until a
few drops of blood appear. The blood
is collected in sheet of paper, and the
paper is rolled in the shape of pill.
The doctor" then goes in wood
alone, carrying the pill, selects a tree,
and inoculates the bark with the pill.
The process of blood letting is repeat
ed three times.-Health.

their respective hives. Each alter
darker color for the purpose of help
ing the bees to mark their hive.
The bee house was built in March.
About the middle of April, when the
weather was favorable to open hives,
1 took the long Ideal hives into my
home apiary and transferred the
bees and combs from the chaff hives
into them. 1t was only necessary to
take three frames at time and lift
them from one into the other. To-
ward evening, when the bees stopped
flying, I closed the entrances with
wire netting, loaded them on wagon
and drove to the bee house and they
were soon arranged in position. The
next day, which was pleasant, the bees
came out in great numbers and evil
IDENTIFY became somewhat confused as
to which were their right hives and
three hives were deserted, the bees
having joined some of the others. But
II built up nicely and in May I divided
three of the stronge ones and made
full complement of 20. In the latter
part of May I removed the division
board and filled the hives with frames
of comb foundation.
There was not swarm to issue
which was as had hoped. The bees
are always comfortable, being shaded
from the hot sun, and they seem to
have sufficient room on 20 frames in
one body. 1t is very comfortable for
the operator too. 1 took from this
house in September $50 pounds of very
nice honey which brought sol. The
yield in my home yard was much be-
low the average, so that the year can
be classed very poor honey year. AS
there are enough surplus combs built
1 expect an average crop of 1000
pounds a year from this house. No
further expense is necessary, only
carriage in bringing home the honey
visited the house during summer only
once every week or so.-F. C. Herman,
in American Agriculturist.

AMONG THE POULTRY.

Bran is excellent for poultry. 1t
contains large amount of lime,
which will help in the formation of
shell.
Even if supplied with grain the
fowls need more heterogeneous food
in addition, as eggs cannot be de-
rived from food that is lacking in
the elements required for their pro-
duction.
Prepare to get those pullets that
are to lay next winter on the way
1t is the early Matched pullet that
furnishes winter eggs and the early
Matched coclIerel that wins at the
shows or sells highest in the mar
ket, according to the use to which
he is put.
Even if you do live on a farm, Sc
lect out a dozen of your best hens
and mate them to a frst-class male
You will make money and add to
your pleasure by doing this. There
is no good reason why a farmer
should not have the best fowls that
can be found.
A splendid trade is being worked
up in broilers in Ontario. The breed
wanted for this is one giving a
plump carcass at very early age
The Wyandotte has this tendency.
Quite naturally laying hen eats
but little more than one not laying
and it is very easy matter to re-
duce the profit of flock of 20 to
zero by keeping five or six chronic
non-layers among them.
The scarcity of eggs and the high
prices that have ruled during the
winter should induce farmers to give
hens their proper place on the farm.
AS rule all live stock receives atten-
ton, being well sheltered and fed,
but the fowls are supposed to be able
to largely provide for themselves.
The plan may result in the fowls be-
ing able to exist through the winter,
but the hens do not lay.-Commer-
cial Poultry.

MONEY IN BEEKEEPING.
Which Was Managed Wisely
and systematically.

The hives used were made to order.
They hold 20 Langstroth frames
crosswise and are expressly used for
extracted honey. The total cost of
the hives, fixtures and house was
$125, not counting the bees. The top
row of hives rests on frame just
high enough so I can raise the COW
ers and look into them comfortably,
as the interior view shows; the other
row rests on the floor. The hives
are only one story, so there is no
use for queen excluders and no tie
ing up to be done.
The hive entrances match the cor
responding slots in the side of the
house and when the bees enter the
slot or entrance they go direct into
