TO PREVENT SWARMING.

With a colony which Is provided
with an extracting super, even the
primary swarm can often be prevented.
When the colony. shows signs Of be-
coming too populous, it should be ex-
amined and if the brood combs are
well filled with brood two or three
frames containing sealed brood should
be removed to the super and their
places filled with empty combs. If
there is drone brood in the brood
combs it should be removed be-
fore it Is placed above. The perforated
zinc mat between the hive and super
will not permit the drones to pass
through, hence the reason for Destroy
ing the drone brood.
Such an arrangement will give the
queen plenty of room in which to de-
posit her eggs and the worker bees
will continue to store honey and to
care for their brood in the super above.
AS soon as this brood has Matched, the
operation of exchanging frames should
be repeated, not only once but again
and again. until the press of brood
rearing is over. This plan Is equally
as successful as extracting the honey
from the frames of the hive proper.
The colony is not weakened by having
more or less of its unsealed brood de-
stroyed. The bees are not distressed
or excited, and there is no danger OF
robbing them of needed stores in case.
of q sudden dearth of honey.-Millie
Honoker, in American Agriculturist.

GOOD MICH COWS,

Good milcn cows are quite q source
Of profit on the farm. And no matter
how good the breed, unless COWS have
proper food and a sufTlciency of fresh
water daily, they cannot produce a
great quantity of milk. All COW own
ers should study these questions If
they wish to get the best results Grass
Is one Of the most important crops.
Red clover is the favorite crop. Next
to grass Is corn fodder. Carrots, beets,
peas, and apples are all good. Every
farmer should grow carrots and beets;
they are far the best milk-producing
vegetables Grow and feed yellow car
rots to improve the color of the butter.
The quantity required for cow can
only be determined by trial. See to it
that the COWS are in perfectly good
health, which will enable them to re-
ceive full benefit from their feed, give
perfect digestion, and produce more
milk and butter. Water IS necessity
to COWS, and 1t should pure, cool,
and always within their reach. Water
before feeding and let the heaviest
feed be at night. Salt is another neces-
sity, and about an ounce and half
should be mixed with their food daily.
Always clean the teats with dry cloth
before milking. Milk rapidly with dry
hands and be sure the udder is emp
tied. Never scold or hit the cow. Talk
gently to her and she will repay by
giving more milk. Have perfect Ven
tilation, drainage and every thing
neat and clean in the stable or the
milk will become tainted. Impure milk
Is caused by carelessness or diseased
cows. Careful selection, good breed
Ing, proper stabling. common sense in
feeding and watering, will produce the
best returns for the time and labor ex-
pended in this branch Of farming

omiSt.

What the Lips Show.

The upper lip should be bow shaped,
while the lower should form the arc
of circle, and to be ideally beauti-
full the lower lip should show more
red than the upper. The lips should
be moderately full.
Thick lips show sensuous tempera.
ment; thin lips, exhibiting little or no
color, while indicating firmness and
will power, are also indicative of a
lack of amiability, and. according to
other indications in the face, may
show meanness, if not avarice. Firm
ly closed lips indicate determination;
omen lips, weakness and vacluatioI.
The open mouth is characteristic of
idiots, says Woman's Life.
The upper lip should have a slight
curve inward before its union with
the nose, for the straight lip indicates
its owner to be unamiable and unin-
telligent. Much depends on the length
of the upper lip. The distance from
it to the nose should be one-half the
breadth of the mouth. A short upper
lip indicates liveliness, wit, fertility Of
invention, brilliancy of repartee. A
long upper lip is generally indicative
Of stupidity.

Value Of the Hen.

The hens of the United States alone
during the year 1902 deposited in and
around the barns and chicken houses
10000, 900, 900 eggs, always taking care
to announce each separate deposit
with triumpbart cackle, to the end
that the same might be recorded.
These white pellets brought in the
markets fully s15O.0OO,0O0. an amount
which, combined with the worth of
the poultry (s139,o0O, O,OO0). is nearly
double the value of all the precious
metals yielded up by the bosom Of old
Mother Earth during the period named
and six times greater than all the
wool fleeced from the backs of the
sheep in this country for the same
year.-St. Louis Star.

TO KILL THE THISTLE.

One of the worst enemies OF the
farmer Is Of the Canadian thistle. 1t
works more injury every year TO
farms in this country than many other
causes to which attention is given.
1t spreads slowly apparently, but it
sooner or later takes full possession OF
the land and unless eradicated the en-
tiro farm becomes worthless. The
heavier seeds. which are carried by
winds, will germin ate, but its progress
is by means of long white root stocks,
which are proof against disease and
seasons. 1t is claimed that piece of
root stock If left in the soil will grow
from six to ten feet in q season and
from each small piece as many as SIX
ty heads will grow. The best season
for beginning the war on thistles is in
June. Plough the land and then
plough again every few weeks until
we'll into the fall, the object being to
destroy the young growth as fast as
it appears, as any plant must succumb
if deprived of forming leaves, as
plants breathe through the agency of
the leaves. Another plan is to allow
them to grow until the plants are just
high enough to NOW and then run the
mower over the field, repeating the
work as fast as the plants appear.
AS the farmer may prefer to utilize
the land he can plough the land and
plant it to potatoes. If he will then
give the potato crop frequent cultiva-
ton he will destroy many of the
thistles and tho potatoes will pay for
the labor 1t may not be possible to
subdue the thistles the first year, but
II the work is we'll Zone the thistles
may be completely destroyed the Sec
ond year, when the ground should be
ploughed in the spring and crop of
early cabbages grown. removing the
cabbage crop and bToadcasting the
land, after ploughing and narrowing
with Hungarian grass seed. AS Hun
garian grass seed grows rapidly and
may be moved once month 1t gives
the thistles but little chance, while the
present cultivation of the cabbage crop
Will have greatly reduced the thistles
in number. The point is to keep the
thistles cut down from July to frost,
after which they will be under control.
The roadsides musc also be carefully
attended to. for it is on the unculti
vated roadsidcs that weeds are neglec-
ted and hence arc protected. Neigh
bors should also work harmoniously in
the destruction Of weeds, as frequently
some negligent farmer Injuries the en-
tire community by producing the seeds
of weeds which are carried by the
winds over large area. Weeds may
alEo be carried long distances on the
tops of railroad cars or by water; in
fact, there are so many modes Of dis
tribution that it is almost impossible
for any farmer to escape the nuisance
Of weeds, but all farmers can prevent
their spread, and in protecting his
neighbor he also protects himself The
Canada thistle is not so great nuis-
ance as many suppose If farmers will
determine to combat its spread.-Chi-
cago Chronicle.
