SUCCESS WIFI PoULTRY.

Those people who do not have good
success in Matching eggs under hens,
usually will not do much better with
the incubator. They may be divided
into two classes, one that is careless
and neglectful. and the other that
is altogether too fussy, who wants to
be stirring the hen. or feeding her,
or handling the eggs three or four
times day. For either of these to
succeed with the incubator there must
be a thorough reformation; a deter
mination to follow the instructions
given exactly, and do no more and no
less than Is explicitly laid down, and
to do 1t by the clock This can be
done, Of course, but how many can
or will settle down to those rules?

While Senator Patterson was talk
ing the Republican Senators fed to
their committee rooms and to the
cloak rooms. Loud shouts of laugh.
ter were heard in the corridor back
OF the Republican cloakroom. This
is one of the stories told:
Some time ago Mark Twain and
Senator Depew went to England on
the same steamer. When they were
four days out a concert and banquet
were arranged and Twain and Depew
were put down for speeches At the
proper time Mark Twain was intro.
duced and talked for twenty minutes,
making typical Mark Twain speech.
Then II was Depew's turn He arose
-and said
Ladies and gentlemen: Mr.
Clemens and had an agreement that
we should write out speeches and ex.
change them. He has just made my
speech but unfortunately, | have lost
his manuscript and have forgotten

people present roared with laughter
at the joke. Mark Twain had moth.

in my former article, but will answer
for a plantation under hill culture,
except that there is no need for the
use of the level plow and no laying of
plants, since runners must be kept

A BOAT CAMP.

Many boys who own boats would
like to go off on camping-out trips of
two or three days duration along some
river or pond shore, but have no tent,
perhaps, in which TO spend the nights,
or for shelter during showers. Two
iron supports are provided, one to set
firmly in staples in the stern of the
boat, the other to fit into its sockets of
staples In the bow strip of cloth as
long as the boat and wide enough to
come well out over each side is fitted
with ropes. The rope that Is fastened
along the centre of the strip passes
through the eyeholes at the upper ends
of both bow and stern supports, and
is carried out to be attached faulty TO
small stakes in front and in the rear of
the boat. The other lines are drawn
out on either side and attached to
small stakes. A canopy is thus formed
over the boat that provides q very good
shelter indeed
The middle seat can be removed,
and very comfortable bed made In
the bottom of the boat, rowboats being
| almost invariably wide enough to ac.
commodate two persons very comfort
| ably. Such covering, with the iron
supports, can be rolled up and packed
In few inches of space, and can be
spread above the boat, when hauled up
on shore, and secured in FIVE minutes
Such a canopy protects not only the
campers, but all the stores that are
carried, and has the merit of occupy.
Ing almost no space at all, and of be
Ing quickly put into position 1t has
also the special merit of costing but
a trifie--a factor that frequently de

A BEE NOTE.

When hundredth part Of an inch

ed but trivial and of little consequence.
but scientists have figured that il
the bee, whose tongue--the extractor
of sweetness from the fiowers-is but
One-twenty-flfth of an inch in length,
Is capable Of obtaining plentiful
store of honey, then bee with a Ion
ger tongue must necessarily gather
more sweetness.
Glover beekcepers. by selecting only
those bees with naturally long tongues.
have succeeded in lengthening the
tongues of q number of bee colonies
a hundredth Of an inch. II does not
sound much, but it enables these in.
sects to do quarter as much work
again in the same time.
Man has done more than this for the
bees. He has given them ready homes
where they are safe from wasps and
other enemies; frames for making
their combs without using large uuan-
titles of wax for outside walls. and
food during flowerless weather. lie
has also brought them to America
where there Is an abundance of honey
bearing flowers.

MARK KETING BERRIES.

Picking is a very important part of
the business. Women make the best
pickers; too many young piCkers have
too much fun It is always best to
have certain number of hands by the
day, SO they will always be on hand.
"A picking shed must have been pro-
vided. with suitable shelves and plenty
OF carriers. | prefer eight-quart car.
riers without legs, A supply of boxes
should be on hand, with plenty of
,cratos If the fruit Is sold in nearby
towns, most of the crates can be re.
turned; and with machine for max.
ing boxes we prefer them fresh made,
only one day old Most growers pre-
fer to have them made UP ahead.
Never ship red or purple berries in
quart boxes. If it is possible, do not
pick while the fruit is wet.
Distant markets must be sought,
