After getting all colonies in good
shape, the last thing to do just as
steady winter begins is to take them
to the cellar. Select a day suitable
for the purpose, If possible not too
cold, and, of course, 1t must not be
warm enough for the bees to fly. Per-
haps late in the evening is best, espe-
cially if the day is not very cold. A
complete arrangement of everything
must be previously made, so that there
may be no hitch in the proceedings.
Remember that ordinary cellars or
cellars as they are ordinarily kept,
will not answer for keeping bees in.
Bees must not be mixed up with other
matter usually kept in cellars. A Gel
lar for bees proper should be used ex-
clusively for them. but if the room
may be spared in a good, dry cellar,
1t may be set off for the bees with a
good, tight partition. 1t takes but
small space to accommodate quite a
number of colonies of bees, in the
manner in which they are placed

1t is said that the morphine habit
is spreading alarmingly among the
ical men whose patients are women of
fashion, as well as doctors who work
among the large army of milliners,
dressmakers, blanchisseuses and shop
girls of the French capital, equally
aver that they find the use of morphine
becoming more general, and this opin-
ion is confirmed by chemists.

Cost of Raising Steers.

The Utah experiment station has
made some experiments with a view to
ascertaining the cost of raising steers
from birth. They were conducted
with four grade Jerseys. At first they
we're given only whole milk alone, but
later skim milk and grain. During the
summer the calves were pastured,
while in the winter alfalfa. corn sto-
yer, grain and roots composed their
ration. At the beginning of the test
calves Nos. l and 2 each weighed So
pounds. gaining 1876 and 1.12 pounds
per day, respectively. Calf No. 3
weighed 94 pounds at the beginning
Of the test, and gained an average Of
1.39 pounds per day, while 76 pounds
was the weight OF No. at birth,
which gained lis pounds on an aver
age per day. Calf No. l gave a profit
of S127S; No. 2, $3.50; No 8, s9.3s,
and No. I, $6.s2. The total cost Of
raising the calves was S65.32.
These steers, it will be remembered,
were grade Jerseys, thus accounting
for their light weights. Grades Of any
good beef breed would no doubt have
given much better returns, but this
experiment was intended to show what
may be done with grade Jersey steers
by those who seek to improve their
dairy herds by the use of a Jersey
bull. The quality of the meat was ex-
cellent, the very best sold at the To-
cal market during the year.-Tennes-

But for the manure on some farms
the cows would give no profit, as many
farmers bestow no attention to breeds
or the characteristics of individuals.
When it is considered that no two
cows are alike. and that one may be
capable of giving twice as much profit
as another, the farmer who keeps in
ferior COWS imposes upon himself a
severe tax for incompetency. The best
of care and attention will not enable
an inferior COW to give a profit COM
pared with those that yield large guam
titles of milk and butter.

Farm and Garden Notes.

The calf for beef animal keep fat.
The one for mixer, keep thrifty.
Movable pens are good investment
on any farm where hogs are raised.
Do not expose selected seed corn to
severe cold, and keep it in dry place.
Packing winter apples in dry sand
is recommended by those who have
tried it.
The warm side of haystacA is not
a sufficiently warm place for dairy
COW in the winter time.
Experimentalists say that sheep
manure is worth $3.50 a ton, as
against so for horse manure.
One OF the handiest things about
the stock barn is box stall. For a
sick animal it is a great convenience
ofttimes.
Get all the eggs you can out of a
hen during her first two winters At
ter that she is generally too old to
amount to much as an egg-layer.
All farmers do not agree in the opin-
ion that manure should be hauled out
to the fields in winter as made. Yet it
is the practice Of many good farmers.
AS things look now, the man with a
fine orchard of bearing trees is the
man who will make some money for
the next few years. But an orchard
needs care from early spring until the
fruit is gathered.
A recommended collie remedy for
horses is one ounce each of sweet
spirits OF nitre, sulphuric e.ner
and extract of Jamaica ginger, to be
given in pint of cold water and re-
peated hourly until relieved.
1t is a good idea to have a well in
your barn basement. Every well or
dered stock barn has basement. BY
this means water of moderate COOL

for cattle and sheep. Stock are COM

One Of New York's veteran sports
men has in his Office a stuffed Mon
golian pheasant.
THAT pheasant" he said to caller,

worth of the birds and turned them
loose on my land. They strayed, and
everybody shot them except me- One
Gay farmer came in and said the
birds were in his corr and he didn't
like to kill them, but he wished I'd

went shooting in his corn field. l got
that bird and it is the only one out
of the whole lot l did get. So that
pheasant cost me just little over

Few things are ever done to less
profit on the farm than buying apple
trees, spending time and labor to set
them out. and then simply leaving
them to take care of themselves.
Trees that are expected to make
healthy growth, and at the proper age
produce an ample output of fruit,
should have as much care and atten-
tion given them during their growth
as is bestowed upon ony other crop
on the farm. Neglect to do this is the
prime cause OF the failure to grow
fruit. Notwithstanding it is the excep-
tion rather than the erule there are cases
where fruit growing is more profitable,
on land too rough, broken or stony to
cultivate advantageously for anything
else. If possible, it is advisable to
cultivate, however, until the trees
come at least into bearing, which is
usually four or five years.
Trees newly set out do not require
as rich soil as when they come into
bearing, and with care during that
period, and by keeping the orchard
in cultivation, the fertility can be built
up. Corn or potatoes are either of
them preferable to small grains to
raise in q growing orchard, though
some authorities persist in advocating
the latter, and, as far as the condi-
tion OF the ground will admit, it is best
to plant corn SO that cultivation can
be given both ways. Added to this,
be the crop sown what it may, in mark
ing out, the rows should be sufficiently
far from the trees so that there will
be no danger of injuring them in cult.
ing. All things considered, both the
trees and crop should have thorough
cultivation during the forepart of the
season, leaving the soil in a good, fine
tilth, and the surface reasonably level
when the crop is laid by. If it can be
done, the trees should also be care
fully mulched in June. Why? Because
this will help materially to retain the
soil during the rest of the summer,
which, in turn, will enable the trees to
maintain an evenly vigorous, thrifty
growth. Provided the trees, in con-
sequence, should continue to grow un-
til fall, the mulch can be removed in
time for them to mature their new
growth of wood; then, the ground hav-
ing frozen, it can be put back again as
a protection during the winter In
deed, the best time is in winter to
draw and apply the manure.
1t is a good plan to mulch the trees
at least two years after setting out,
for thus they will have an excellent
opportunity to get well established;
and even then thorough cultivation
and careful mulching will help great
ly in promoting a vigorous, thrifty
growth. When the trees have come
into bearing, the orchard should be
seeded down to clover. Mammoth
clover is the best crop to grow in an
orchard after it begins to bear, and
it will benefit the orchard if it is al
lowed to fall down and mulch the
ground, for after that it can be pas
tured closely with hogs through the
growing season.-F. o. S.. in Agricul-
tural Epitomist.

CUBAN CONSTITUTION

mc-ed That This Docs Not Cover

HAVANA. Juno 17.-Tne committee of
the senate and fouse of representatives
appointed to confer with President
Palma concerning his alleged violations
Of tic constitution, report it was de-
cidcd that Senior Palma had not violated
the constitution. 1t Is added by the
committee that tho president had the
power to arnul military orders OF an
executive nature, while those of leg
islative character can only be annuiled
by the congrcss.
This report IS not considered to cover
the full decision OF the committee. 1t
is claimed that Senior Sanguily. enc of
the committee. stated at the conference
that 1t was u5cless 10 deny that the. con-
stitution had been violated, and iS was
necessary to put a stop to such viola
ticns.
The generally accepted view is that
cnly the congress has the power to a1-
null military orders of whatever kind.
The order changed was No 156, which
put the police of the Island under civil
service rules. This Gas changed by
President Palma. SO that the order ap-
piled only to Havana.

an agreement that the secretaries must
