KEEPING OUT THE MOTHS.
A Case Where an Ounce of Prevention is
Worth a Pound of Cure.

When the habits of moths are under
stood they can be more effectually pre-
vented. The moth millers make their
appearance in early Spring. They are
torpid during the day. but are very
active in the evening. During May
and June they deposit their eggs in
dark places. When moth miller has
laid quota of eggs it dies. The eggs
are very small and are hatched in about
two weeks.
The young worn begins it's destruc-
tive work at once and continues until
cold weather. It is torpid and harm
less during the winter. In late Winter
it changes into chrysal1s and later
into winged moth. If these wing
moths are not allowed to enter the
house to deposit their eggs there will
be no trouble with moths. The window
and door screens should be placed in
the windows and doors early in the
season and close watch kept for the
moth miller.
Moths always work in the dark.
Furs and wOolen clothing have a spe-
cial attraction for them and soiled
garment or a dirty spot on a garment
will attract them hence every garment
should be clean when it is put away
for the Summer. Furs and all woolen
clothing that are not needed during
the Summer should be hung out in the
open air and gently beaten and well
brushed and then wrapped, news
papers are good for wrapping about
clothing because the printers ink is
offensive to the moths. When wrap
ped put in a cedar chest; if cedar
chest is not obtainable, use an ordina-
ry box and paste thick paper around
the edges. Woolen garments that re-
quire washing should be washed and
packed away in the same manner. 1t
is a good plan to write On box the
names of the different garments placed
inside.
When the carpets are taken up in the
Spring the floor should be washed to
remove the dust; then washed in water
to which turpentine has been added
in the proportion of tablespoonful to
each quart of water; care being taken
| not to neglect the cracks and places
where heavy pieces of furniture are
placed. When dry sprinkle around
black pepper along the base boards.

Any farmer may make a new breed
if he has the patience to select care
fully of the best, note their character
istics, discard all undesirable speci-
mems and work on until hts object is
accomplished. 1t is, however, always
in order for him to select his next
years stock from the best of those he
has. The farmer of the present day
has great advantage in having the
pure breeds ready established as q
foundation upon which he can improve
or build something better, hence his
labors will be easy and light compared
with the difficulties in the way of the
pioneer breeders who produced the
breeds we are familiar with at the
present day-Farm and Fireside.

Interesting Changes in a North
Dakota Lake.

One of the interesting problems
which has come under the notice OF
the photographers of the United States
Geological Survey is the gradual dry
Ing up of DEVILS Lake in North OAK
ota. Devil s Lake, or Minnewauka as
it is cal led by the Indians, is the larg
est body of water in the state. 1t be-
longs to the numerous class of lakes
formed by the great glacial ice sheet
on it's final retreat toward the north.
Then and for some time after, when it
was fed by the heavy rains following
the glacial period, it had an outlet to
the south into the Sheyenne River;
and well marked and empty channel
still remains between the lake and the
river. Long before settlers first came
to the region in 1889, the lake had sunk
below the level of this channel and has
since been without an outlet. Regular
observations for the last nineteen years
show steady and almost uninterrupt-
GU oluhluS VI tuC WdGCl' olOfOo VI
trees, which once stood at the beach,
are now separated from it by broad
strips of sand, and the shallow parts
OF the lake, notably the long arms and
bays have been left quite dry.
Another important and interesting
feature is the change in the water from
fresh to salt; this has taken place with
in the memory of man, and is in some
particulars producing unfavorable re-
results. Fish were found in the lake
in great abundance up to about 1888;
since then they have grown rapidly
less, until now, practically none are
caught.
The United States Geological Survey
has recently established a bench mark
near the lake, and, under the charge of
Prof. G. M. Hall, of the State Agricul-
tural College, will make careful records
of the fluctuations of the waters and a
general study of their decline. The
investigation promises most interest
ing results. which may throw some
light upon the climatic conditions of
the past.

Taylor Ransom.

A pretty wedding took place on
Thursday night of last week at EN-
manuel Episcopal church, when Miss
Charlotte Alexander Ransom became
the bride of Mr.. Herbert j. Taylor.
The chancel had been beautifully dec
GRATED in green and pink with back
ground of white, which with the light of
many candles, made brilliant scene.
The bridal party entered the church
to the strains of the wedding
march rendered by Miss Matte
Shreckhise, in the following order;
The ushers, Messrs J. Baldwin Ran
son, I. K. Woodhouse, Taylor Mccoy
and Rudolph Bumgardner, followed
by the bridesmaids, Miss Ella Straith
Ransom, sister of the bride; Miss Fannie
K. Taylor, sister of the groom; Miss
Fannie 2. Gibson. OF Richmond. and
Miss Mary Guy Ransom, of Charles
Town, w. Va, attired in white organ
dies and carrying pink carnations.
Then came the brides maid of honor,
her sister, Miss Mary Eleanor Ransom,
In pink silk and carrying white roses.
She was followed by the bride with her
father, Capt. Thos. D. Ransom. She
was handsomely gowned in white tuck
crepe over white taffeta, and carried
brides roses. They were met at the
altar by the groom and his best man,
Mr.. Harry Coleman, of Roanoke, where
the ceremony was impressively per-
formed by Rev. r. G. Jett.
After the ceremony the bridal party
and few intimate friends and rela-
tives were rendered reception at the
home of the brides parents. Mr.. and
Mrs. Taylor left that night for their
tour, after which they will
make their home IN this city.

ROSE CULTURE.
Suggestions That May Prove Useful to
Amateur Gardeners.

An interesting and valuable study of
roses and rose culture was presented by
F. V. Halman at the meeting OF the
Portland Rose Club. says the Portland
Oregonian. Mr.. Halman's address
was along popular lines, dealing with
the home culture of roses among those
OF limited experience. rather than with
the expert growing of choice varieties
A brief outline of the suggestions
made is as follows:
Decentralization should be given
to choosing place for rose bushes. All
roses require some sunshine, but some
need only the morning sun. while 9th
erS thrive best in the hottest places.
Drainage-Portland soil is clay that
packs if the drainage is not good. A
simple but practical way to arrange
for drainage is to dig hole two or three
feet deep and place in it layer of stones
or charcoal.
Planting-Hardy varieties can be
planted in the Autumn, and will make
a much more rapid growth than if
planted in the Spring. Tender varie-
ties, however, must be planted in the
Spring.
Pruning-The Spring is the proper
time to prune rose bushes, but if their
growth has been SO great as to make
them top-heavy they must be pruned
in the Fall, as they are in danger of
breaking.
Spraying-On account of numerous
pests that infest rose bushes frequent
spraying is necessary. The common
pests are the aphis, mildew, rose cater
pillar or leaf roller, and yellow leaves.
Fertilizers-Fresh cow manure, well
rotted stable manure and chicken man.
ure are all excellent fertilizers. Port
land soil is efficient in potassium,
which can be made up by using hard
wood ashes. Bone dust or saltpetre
may be used to advantage.
Watering-In the blooming season
water should be used sparingly. The
bushes should be sprayed with water.
On the back of rose leaves are little
pores, and it is as important that these
be kept open as that the PORES in the
human skin be kept open.
Mulching-The ground should be
kept loose and covered by something
that will hold the moisture. Grass cut
from the lawn is excellent for this pur-
pose.
Disbudding-A rose bush has only so
much vitality; hence if we allow to
many buds to bloom the roses will be
Inferior.
Fall Blooming-Allow the bushes to
rest through July, then water them
heavily in August for Fall blooming.
Protection IN Winter-As rule
roses in this climate need no protection,
but if they have been covered, re-
move the covering gradually and re
move the final covering on wet,
stormy day. To expose the bushes
Just uncovered to the sun would pro-
badly result in their being killed.

His Quiet Sunday.

and extra thin approximation are
far the best for the production of
comb, which will compare in quality
and ightness with natural comb. 1t
seems certain that heavy foundations
result in combs heavier than the
natural comb and that the increased
weight is due to thicker midribs and
thicker cell walls, but more to the
latter than to the former. Where the
cell walls are very high they were not
thinned down in the process of comb
building.
Experiments were tried with a
number of methods of using founda-
tions in sections. The different meth
DDS of attaching starters are shown
in the figure, to g. No appreciable
difference was noted in comb pro-
duced by using starters in the way
shown in a, and d. The chief ad-
vantage of using long narrow piece,
as seen at e, was that it had tend
ency to induce the building of work
er comb throughout. 1t had, how
ever, the advantage that it's large size
and short line of attachment rem
dered it easy to be torn loose.
Perhaps the best results were OBJ
tanned by the use of long narrow
piece at the top of the section, as
shown at f. The use of small pieces
of foundations in the lower corners,
as shown at C, gave no beneficial re-
suits. The use of short strips in the
middle of the bottom of the section,
as shown at b. resulted In the some-
what firmer attachment of the combs.
Comb built upon foundation is al
ways tougher and more waxy than
natural comb, and the bases of the
cells are darker in color.
Since thick comb has but one
midrib, and the walls of the cells are
heaviest nearest the midrib, it is evil
dent that thick comb will contain
relatively less wax and more honey
than a thin comb. In order to secure
comb honey, therefore, with the least
possible amount of wax, it is neces-
sary to have 1t built in sections that
will permit the greatest thickness of
comb.

HONEYCOMB BUILDING.
Paramount Interest to Profess
siOnal Beekeepers.

In recent bulletin C. P. Gillette,
of the Colorado station, calls atten-
tton to the fact that experiments
have shown that it requires about
one pound of wax for every Is pounds
of honey that is stored in the comb.
The food which is necessary for the
formation and secretion of wax in
the body Of bees is, for the most
part, honey, and it probably requires
several pounds of honey as food for
worker bees to enable them to pro-
duce one pound of wax. The bees
which are engaged in the secretion
of wax are thereby prevented from
collecting honey, and must feed upon
the honey collected by other work
ers. Where comb honey is being pro-
duced for market it becomes. there
fore, q problem Of considerable eco
nomic Importance to determine to
what extent and in what form wax
should be furnished the bees for their
use In building comb.
According to the present practice
of bee raisers, wax Is furnished to
the bees in only one general way,
and that is in the form of artificial
comb foundation. There are, how
ever, many types of foundation, some
with a midrib only and others with
cell walls of greater or lesser length
outlined for the bees. The keeper
has, therefore, the practical problem
of determining the kind of founda-
ton to use, whether with or without
cell walls and of what weight.
Prof. Gillette's Investigations indi-
cate that it is mistake to use deep
cells In artificial foundation unless
their walls are made Of the thinness
of natural cell walls. The only cell
walls which were brought to the
thinness of natural comb were those
built on foundations with light base
and with little wax In cell walls.
Comparisons of the weights of nat
ural comb and comb built on artifi-
cial foundations showed that the thin

Obituary..

Suddenly, on May 8, 1902, at Grot.
toes, Va, W. F. Livers, entered into
eternal rest. For years the de-
ceased was a resident of this place,
having organized The American Hard
wood Manufacturing Company, OF
which, at the time Of his death, he
was president and general manager.
''Will Livers.'' as he was generally
known, was self made man, energet-
ic and possessed of rare business q ual-
tiles. 1t was through his untiring
efforts that The American Hardwood
Manufacturing Co. stands today one
of, if not the most extensive manutac
turing concerns of its kind in the
United States; fitting and lasting
monument to the memory of him so
universally beloved and so deeply
mourned. -
At midnight, silently as the birth of
the new day, he was summoned by the
"Grim Reaper to that unknown
bourne from which no traveller returns,
that house not built with hands, eter-
nal in the skies. Peacefully be sleeps
the sleep that knows no awakening,
until that final day when all shall
stand before their Maker and be judg
ed according to the deeds done in the
body.
He was one of our foremost citizens,
public spirited, charitable to fault,
a dutiful son, a loving brother, a de-
voted Christian, broad minded in his
views and religious belief. To know
was to love him, evidenced by the es.
TEEN and affection with which be was
regarded by the scores of employees
in the institution of which he was the
head. His loss will be greatly felt,
not only by all with whom he came in
business and social contact, but also
fall a sewers blow on this little city,
which, through his endeavOrs, was
fast becoming a manufacturing centre.
Many and sincere are the expressions
of coincidence and consolation received
by the sorrowing family, showing how
highly he was esteemed in life and
bemourned in death. AS fitting
tribute to his memory we can but quote
the words of an admiring friend: eff
there be a place in Heaven for men en-
gagged in commercial strife, that place
Is his, and he has entered there"
