An up-to-date hive should contain
movable frames so that the bees may
be easily inspected and manipulated in
any way desired. 1t should contain an
air space all around the sides and over
the top as a protection from the heat
of summer and the cold of winter. 1t
should be made in 1irst-class manner
Of seasoned material, with corners per-
fectly true and tight. The hive and
supers should be as simple as possible
for ease and quickness in handling.
There are several makes and styles of
hives and the choice between them is
largely matter Of personal taste. Few
beekeepers have the necessary tools to
make hives, and it is generally more
satisfactory, and quite as cheap, to
buy them in the fiat from manufac-
turers who get them out in large quan.
titles by machinery with all pieces cut
true and uniform. They are easily
and quickly put together.

Young Pigs on the Pasture.

The summer season is the time to
make pigs pay, They then need no
protection against cold, are not stunted
in growth, and demand but little at
tention. Grass is the cheapest and
best foood for pigs, and they will
thrive and grow upon such diet, as
grass contains an abundance of min
eral matter, which promotes the
growth of bone. Grain is deficient in
lime, which is essential for all young
stock. Glover contains more than
twenty times as much lime as corn.
10 feed corn to pigs in summer is TO
supply them with a kind of food which
they do not require, as growth at this
season is more to be desired than fat.
Those who make q profit from hogs
depend largely upon the pasture free
dom and the privilege of selecting a
variety of food, promoting the thrift
of the pigs and warding off disease.

There is reason to think that the
horse will continue to be with us.
There will always be men who will
prefer a h-stepping thoroughbred
for their own use to any rattling, put
ing automobile, asserts the Philadel-
phia Record. No Improvement in road
locomotives can suppress the natural
affection of men for good horse.
Perhaps for commercial purposes the
horse may cease TO be used, to the de-
light OF all humane men whose hearts
have bled over the cruelties of brutal
drivers; but Of fine pleasure and racing
horses we shall probably always have
many.

WHEN SIZE DOESN'T COUNT.

My little boy came running in
Our house one recent day;
His pretty nose was minus skin,
| much regret to say.
On leaving home his two bright eyes
With laughter had been stirred;
Now he had three, to my surprise
"a black one was the third)
Out poured his tale: how Jimmy Jones
Had caught him unaware,
And mopped the pavement with his bo7cs
While pulling out his hair.
But, then, oh, triumph OF the tale!
That youth went on to say
He'd tackled Jimmy, tooth and nail,
And licked him every way"
Seeking to hide my sinful pride
From that small urchin's view,
said, "How could you lick him COOL?
Jim's bigger far than you"
Whereat with scorr that sturdy elf
Looked fxedly at me.
And straighaway he rid himself
Of this philosophy:
Hes bigger'n me? Why, Papa Jacl;
Bigness don't count, l say.
My pony's swifter on a track
Than cart horse any day;
My pouter pigeon has a threat
Beats any living thing,
But not one single little note
I've heard that pouter sing
"The ePphants big as any house,
And weighs about ten ton;
But could an efphant catch a mouse
Ii mousie tried to rum"
Some more comparisons as pat
That small boy with grin
Shot forth at me; and while sat
My little wife came in.
She only weighs hundred pounds,
But when she saw my pride
In Willie's pugilistic rounds
Her voice rang high and wide.
Such scorn! such fire! | quickly fled,
Defeated, from the din.
And as l went that small hoy said,
Say, pa, does bigness win?'

The Genesis of Fogs.

Mr.. Rollo Russell has for many years
studied the formation of fogs, and now
prints his principal conclusions. Mist
and fog are ordinarily caused by the
mixture of currents of air of different
temperatures. Fogs that do not de.
pend on the meeting of such currents
are rare, but there are many cases
of meeting currents where no fogs are
produced.

Clipping the Queens Wings.

Clipping the queens wings is COM
monty done to prevent the queen from
flying away with the swarm. 1t should
be done when the bees are gathering
little honey, and is best accomplished
in the early part of the season during
fruit bloom. The bees should be
handled, if possible, without smoke.
When the queen is found, which is
somewhat difficult feature for the nov
ice, she should be taken by the wings
with the thumb and finger OF the right
hand, pass her to the left hand. let her
grasp the end of the second finger of
the left hand with her feet and then
close the thumb and forefinger gently
against her body, letting the abdomen
hang down from the second finger.
Clip the wing on one side .slantingly
lengthwise, taking only the lace. Do
not cut the hard bony part. Place her
on the top bar of the hive and let her
go. If it is done right there should be
no loss of queens. New England.

Starting as a candidate for the legisla-
