To Prevent RobbIns in the Apiary.


AS the time of robbing is when the
honey flow is short, and hardly ever
when the flow is full, this is the time
to watch for indications of marauders.
A queenless colony or one week in
brood will not fight much for their
stores. Italians are better defenders
than common black bees. Colonies
wintered indoors are more liable 70
be robbed than those outdoors. Con-
tracing cracks and entrance so that
only one bee can get in or out at a
time Will aid great deal ,as
they will be able to protect them
selves in this way. With little close
attention you can detect robbing bees.
They fly with legs widely spread and
move very cautiously about the en-
trance. They also have low soothing
hum. You can tell II they the your bees
or your neighbor's by sprinkling some
-four on them at the entrance and then
watching the other hives to see If
any bees with the -four enter.
If you find them fighting hard, close
the entrance somewhat and If the ow-
ners have much strength they will pro-
tect themselves. III bees are going in
and out tumbling over each other you
have a case of robbing hat has got
under bad headway and you must re-
sort to extreme measures at once.
Close up the hive entirely and securely.
In this cas- elf the weather be quite
warm danger of suffocation will follow
unless you have an opening covered
with wire cloth large enough TO ventil-
ate. A better way is to cover an empty
upper story with wire cloth. securely
fastened down. But sometimes this
does not stop them, as the robbers
inside will communicate with those
on the outside and pass honey through
to them. By watching yon need not
allow robbing to reach such an advanc-
ed stage. Even then by using two
pieces of wire cloth about half an inch
apart over the opening, you can fool
them. After bees have been shut up
thus the best time to let them out is
at sundown. Then get up early and
see II they are all right.
There are many co-called cures for
robbing. but the best is prevention
lin time. A strong colony having once
gained headway will destroy another
in from four to ten hours and this
is not the stopping point. When once
they succeed they do not seem to hesi-
tate to tackle the strongest colony in
the yard. Do not tempt them to robb.
ing by leaving partly exposed honey
around and by careless feeding The
chief things are neatness and care
about yard and honey house. Do not
let dead colonies remain ON stands
but remove them at once to some sdfe
spot and keep your eye on the colo
nies when robbing might be expect

Not Too Much Washing.

Some suggestions of Prof. r. A.
Pearson as to washing butter are un-
der dicussion in different journals.
after drawing off the buttermilk,"
says Prof. Pearson, eve again come
to point where there is a difference
not only of opinion, but of practice.
Some pour In more water and after a
few revolutions of the churn draw ii
off, and repeat the process until the
claim that the flavor may be washed
out and wash as little as possible.
Some excellent buttermakers that
know never wash their butter at all.
The flavor is an integral part of the
butter and can no more be washed out
out of sugar. II you do not believe
1t feed the cows a mess of onions and
try to wash out the flavor"
Practical buttermakers favor some
washing. but not too much. Even the
illustration of the professor does not
seem fortunate, for too much dilution
OF sugar would leave little concentrat-
ed saccharine. Some taints OF butter,
1t is quite certain, may be washed out,
though not that of garlic, which has
come from the diet of the COW, and
not from exposure afterwards. But
even this, we add in passing, may be
wholly antidoted by feeding the cows
with certain preparation (medicated
food).
The question is whether the fine
aroma of the butter may not be soaked
out by too much rinsing or washing of
the butter In granulated form. Expe-
rienced buttermakers who have
learned the art of making butter of
finest quality and which brings the
highest price, will say, don't put
your butter to soak" You may well
rinse 1t quickly for once; that is an
other matter.-Farm, Field and Fire

She Would Not be
Without 1t Now.

Neither would thousands of others. We
refer to Vogeler's Curative Compound It
does SO much good and seems to reach
every form of stomach trouble, that people
have found that 1t is the one true specific.
And what are stomach troublesl The easiest
answer is that three-quarters of all the dis.
eases and ailments which affect us proceed
from one form or another of stomach
trouble.
Indigestion is one of the worst and most
prevalent forms, but Vogeler's Curative
Compound cures Indigestion. Here is one
instance
Mr. w, Bowel, of "a, Priory Street, Win
chester, Col, writes: ~ wish to state that
my wife has been taking Vogeler's Curative
Compound for a long time, and 1t is the
only thing that has done her any real good
for indigestion, in fact nothing would induce
her to be without bottle now.'
When we stop to seriously consider the
fact, that this great remedy is made from
the formula of one of the most eminent living
London physicians, it is no wonder that
people who have happily experienced the
benefit to be derived from its use, will not
now be without it at any cost.

One of the points of interest in the
financial district is the bronze statue
of Washington in the front of the
United States SubTreasury on Wall
street, says the New York Times. 1t
is invariably pointed out to visitors,
asked:
why do they polish only the knees
and not the whole statue?"
Mentor and guide has to shake his
head. and admits that he does not
know.
1t appears that some years ago a
peddler with some new kind of polish
came to the Sub-Treasury and extolled
the virtues of his compound to one of
the guards. why" he said, Il could
even polish up that rusty old statue
out there in a jiffy."
GO ahead" said the guard.
The agent went to work with a will
and in a few minutes had succeeded
in taking off the beautiful dull oxidiz-
ing from the legs of the statue as Tar
as the knees. Just then Mr.. Muhle-
man, the deputy assistant treasurer.
came up the steps, and in less time
than it takes to tell it the agent found
himself sitting at the foot of the statue,
while Mr.. Muhleman lectured the sur
prised guard in foTeibie language on
the vandalism of indiscriminate polish
ing.
But not even the variability of the
New York climate has been sufficient
as yet to restore to the polished parts
their old dull beauty.

ANOTHER MARTYR ron RANsoMr

The correspondent of a Chicago pa
per writing from Beyreut, Syria, which
is in Asiatic Turkey, warns the Amer
/ lean people that they may expect to
| hear before a very great while of an
other capture of missionary by brig
ands similar to that of Miss Stone. 1t
! appears that Miss Mary Pearson Eddy,
an American missionary, has conceiv-
ed it to be her duty to journey into the
widest part of Syria to preach the
gospel It will be recalled that Miss
Stone had such an inspiration respect
ing Bulgaria. The region that Miss
Eddy purposes to penetrate is inhab-
tied by brigands quite as reckless as
those of the Bulgarian mountains that
held Miss Stone for so long a time.
The Turkish authorities have warned
Miss Eddy, as they warned Miss
Stone, that she will be taking the
greatest risks, that her mission can
not possibly be attended with results
warranting the hazard she will assume,
and that the government cannot assure
her safe conduct. The section it has
been pointed out to her, is only semi
civilized and is in chronic rebellion
against Turkish authority. in the
face of all this, however, Miss Eddy
persists in her purpose to make the
trip. The time of her departure has
not been definitely fixed, but it will be
in the latter part of May or the first
of June in all probability. She says
she feels called" to undertake the
missionary work she has planned in
the country of the Syrian outlaws.
1t would not be surprising, there
fore, if in early summer the country
should be apprized of the fact that
this second missionary had fallen into
the hands of outlaws and that they
demanded a heavy sum in ransom for
her. The Syrians have doubtless been
informed of the success of the Bull
garians in turning Miss Stone into a
valuable asset, and they will make the
most of their opportunity in the case
of Miss Eddy, probably raising the
price for her above that obtained for
Miss Stone; and the religiously in
clined people of the United States will
be called upon to put up the money for
her release. And after Miss Eddy has
been captured, ransomed and released
in all probability our government will
call upon Turkey for redress.
1t seems that Turkey has a just
cause for complaint respecting the do
ings of American missionaries within
it's territory. They will not heed its
warnings and when they get into
trouble in consequence the Turkish
government is held to be at fault.

papers Gen. Miles has some friends.
The Philadelphia North American, for

Root has been permitted to take a va

out the tangled affairs of the War De-

that paper says: 1.-THE retirement of
Root, voluntarily or compulsorily,
seems likely to precede the retirement
Of Gen. Miles. For the public good and
for political reasons change in the

matters pertaining to the War Depart

is ADAM AN IDEAL ONLY,

1t is proverbially a hard thing to rid
human nature Of "the old Adam" In
the sense Of the quotation, ''old Adam"
is an ideal parsonage characterized by
moral weakness. Was there really any
other Adam than the ideal one? Was
there first man." and was that man
Adam as we have been taught to know
him? The question has been preeipi-
tated upon the New York Presbytery
by a young student of Union Theolog-
zeal Seminary of the name of Vincent
Noll 1t win be recalled that the New
York Presbytery has had a number of
knotty problems passed up to it by
the Briggs case, echoes of which are
still to be heard at intervals.
According to the report Mr. Noll
had applied to the Presbytery for a
license to preach under it's auspices
and appeared before that body to be
examined as to his fitness. Every
thing went well with me-" he says,
until some minister asked me what
my views were on the third chapter OF
Genesis, which treats of Adam and the
garden of Eden. answered that In
my opinion the chapter was purely al
legorical. In a moment things were in
an uproar. I told them that did not
believe in the existence Of Adam as a
man, but as an IDEAL" In addition to
this the young candidate for the cloth
was questioned respecting Isaiah. OF
the prophet he said that he did not be-
lieve that Isaiah possessed the spirit
of exact prophecy, of a mediumistic
sort, but outlined the future by kind
| of deductive reasoning" In other
words, Isaiah did not see an actual
Christ, but conceived some personifi-
cation of ideal qualities" And what
he thought of Isaiah in that connection
he thought of all biblical prophecies. -
That was quite enough to cause the
Presbytery to hesitate about giving the
! candidate a license. If there was no
Adam, manifestly there was no Eve, no
serpent and no apple. and there would
result as a consequence of their elimi-
| nation a troublesome void in orthodox
| theology.
The Presbytery has turned the case
of Mr.. Noll over to an examining COM
mittee. The young man hopes to get
his license Notwithstanding his appar-
emily unorthodox views. Meanwhile
President Brown of Union says that il
Mr.. Nolfs views are heretical, there
are many heretics in Presbyterian pull
| pits. 1t is a pity that churchmen can
not become reconciled on matters such
as these, for the sake of the peace OF
mind of the laymen whom they teach.
