simple one. Take a plain slate, on one
side of which the name and the date is
previously written. A friend Of the per-
former is instructed to call the name
SO quickly that no one else can get
ahead of him. All that is left to do is
to secrete the name and date on the
slate until it is time for it to appear.
To do this you will have to get a piece
of cardboard, fitting exactly over the
black part of the slate, both sides of
which are covered smoothly with black
slate paper. Sheet b is laid over the
side of the slate with the writing on
it (a). Place the slate with the sheet
wei it face down on the chair. When
you are going to show the secret writ
ing to the audience lift the slate in such
a way that the sheet of paper stays upon
the black cloth. where it (being black.
too,) cannot be Observation-Disclosures

THE BEES.
With Care the Beginner Can Do Much
in the Way of Profitable
Up.

Although the mating of queens can
not be controlled like that of larger
stock, with care considerable can be
done to breed up and improve bees.
If there is no Italian blood in the
swarm, the first step will be to pur-
chase an Italian queen. If one has
Italians Dr. hybrids they can be still
further improved by the purchase Of a
new queen freshly imported from
abroad. 1t is always well to mark the
colonies that have stored the most
honey and breed IRON them the mex
year. 1t is very difficult to keep Ital-
ian bees pure, as the queens will meet
black drones If there are any in the
vicinity; but the cross between blacks
and Italians is often quite as good
The black bees have some redeeming
features, but they are generally too
cross for comfort. Theoretically speak
ing the best time to purchase an Ital-
ian queen is early in the season. 1t
should be noticed, however, that they
are sold at considerably reduced rates
in the fall and so there are financial
advantages in favor of the latter. AS
the queens generally live about three
years, it is well enough to purchase one
in the fall and have it already for
business in the spring.-Prairie
Farmer.

OF VALUE.
Why Progressive Farmers Are Max
ing Constantly Increasing Use
of colder.

Ask men who have made a practice
Of feeding shredded fodder why they
do it, and they will tell you that they
feed it because their cattle, horses and
sheep like it SO well and thrive SO we'll
upon it, and because they cannot afford
% let it go to waste and feed hay which
could be sold for two or three times as
much as the prepared fodder costs.
When the farmer computes the cost of
cutting n s%hreddins his fodder it looks
high, but he must remember that, al
though 1t does cost him from $3.50 to
$3.50 per ton. it takes the place Of hay
which has a market value of from two
TO three times that amount. Men who
have made a practice of feeding shredded
fodder state that it cost from three to
hve dollars an acre to prepare it, and
that an acre of average corr will yield
from 1E to 21a tons of dry fodder. They
say further that a ton of fodder has as
much or perhaps more feed value than
a ton of average hay. Corn used for
shredding is bound and shocked when
the grains are we'll dented and glazed
over, but before the stalk has shown
much signs of %ripening. When thor
oughly dry it is run through the husker
and shredded and slowed away in the
moW.-iowa Agriculturist.

ship to Manila, and follow the lines of
travel to Hongkong, to Singapore, to
Canton, to Toxic, to V~ladivostok, to St.
Petersburg, to Vienna, to London, to
South Africa, and finally to South
America, touching on the way at sew
eral Pacific and South Atlantic islands,
and thence back to his starting point,
he could travel a distance several times
greater than the circumference Of the
globe. If he ordered his mail forward
ed to him, and left correct addresses at
each place, the letters would dutifully
follow him and finally be delivered to
him in New York a few days after his
own arrival there. All that he would
have to pay extra for this remarkable
journey of his mail would be a dollar or
two in tolls, which would represent the
charges for forwarding exacted by some
of the countries through which it
passed. There Is in the post Office de-
partment at Washington the envelope
of a letter which travelled in this way
150, 900 miles, and another which came
safely through q trip of 125, 900 miles.
Both are marked and stamped in a way
to battle any except a very expert de-
cipherer of puzzles.-St. Nicholas.

UNCLE SANS MAILS.
They Can Fellow q Traveller All the
Way round the World and
Back Again.

The United States mails are carried
everywhere. 1t would be almost a phys
ical impossibility for a man to hide
himself in any remote corner Of the
world without being discovered at last
by some Insignificant agent of a world
wide service, the machinery Of which
operates quietly and with clock-like
regularity. If a bird's-eye view of the
different railroad and steamship lines
which carry the mails could be taken
the giant spiders web thus formed
would appear woven in a pattern so in
tricate that the mind would balk at
the mere suggestion of %unraveling it.
And besides the regular steamship and
railroad threads Of this maze would ap-
pear tens Of thousands of cross-lines,
representing pony routes, d~og-and-sled
tracks, swift courier and runner
trails" and even reindeer, whaling
ship and canoe lines. Every sort Of We
hicle and beast of burden, and nearly
every invention of man for quick trans
portation, have been pressed into the
postal service, and it is possible for a
letter to go around the world under
conditions so strange that the mere his
tory of its journey would form a story
of thrilling interest.
If a man should start from New York
and travel northward to Alaska. then

FOR ARMY.
Examinations of Recruits Show Un-
usually Large Proportion OF
Physically Perfect Men.


1t appears from the report Of the sur-
geon general Of the United States army
that the total number OF candidates ex-
amined for enlistment was 1928, and
that of this number about two-thirds,
or 30,176, were accepted. This, says the
Los Angeles Times, is a large proper
ton, when the fact is taken into account
that the standard of excellence required
is very high, none but physically perfect
men being accepted. OF the 1928 ap-
plicants for enlistment AZ, 1873 were white
