Cattle with spectacles are to be seen
on the Russian steppes. The steppes
are covered with snow more than six
months of the year says the Detroit
News Tribune. The cows subsist on
the tufts of grass which grow above the
snow and the rays of the sun on the
snow are so dazzling as to cause blind
ness. To obviate this calamity it occur
red to kind hearted man to protect
the COWS eyes in tho same way as those
of human beings. and he manufactured
smoke colored spectacles which could
be safely worn by cattle. These spec
tacles were a great success and are now
worn by 10000 cattle which no longer
suffer from the snow blindness which
once caused such suffering among them.

The Cotswold Sheen.

Cotswold sheep have been bred pure
for at least three centuries. The Cots
void of today is In many ways at vari-
ance with the old type and 1t is sell
dom now that we see q flock OF pure
bred Cotswold that cannot lay claim
to the ideal type of a combined wool
and mutton sheep. True. they are as
large a breed as we have. but did you
ever know of market on which a
prime Cotswold lamb would not bring
the top figure?
Some very careful experiments have
been made in recent years to test the
different breeds for profitable feeding.
The Cotswold always is right at the
top. The now desirable export trade
demands the heavy weights that Cots.
wolds make at two and three years.
Cotswold rams have been used by the
largest sheep company in the west
chiefly for the last Is years. New
stud.breeding flocks are being found
ed all over the country to supply the
demand for Cotswold rams that is in
creasing with each succeeding year.
AS sheep of beauty and high charac-
ter in their whole general appearance,
It can be said that no other breed
equals them, and for real sterling quail
tiles as wool and mutton producer,
they are more than holding their own
in this country.

The Busy Bee.

II your hives are poorly sheltered.
or full of cracks, the heat will pass
out and the bees will have TO consume
just so much more honey for fuel.
II your bees have good warm hive.
good queen and plenty Of honey,
very little care will be required from
you until next swarming time arrives.
II any hives are gaping in the cor.
ners now will be good time to renal
them, and put on an additional coat Of
paint.
Do not try to keep your bees warm
by closing up the entrances of the
hives. Make the top as tight and warm
as you please, but allow sufficient bot
tom ventilation.
To protect empty combs from the
moth larvae, place them where they
will get a good freezing during win
ter. Nearly all empty combs will be
found to contain moth eggs in au-
tumn. IL the combs are kept in the
cellar, or other moderately warm
place, these eggs will hatch into lar
vac, and feed upon the honeycomb.
Look out for mice getting ihto bee
hives during winter; They play havoc
with the combs.
Remember, 1t Is just as important
to take proper care of the honey, and
put It on the market in a first class
condition, as 1t is to use the best and
most economical means of securing 1t.
One of the essentials OF proper care
is keeping the honey in very dry and
warm place; especially is this true of
comb honey, or extracted honey in
open cans.
Honey taints very easily, and for
this reason 1t is best TO use as little
smoke as possible when extracting.
After many experiments In melting
honey, | have come to the conclusion
that 1t cannot be done without impart-
ing to 1t waxy flavor.
When hunting wild bees, light a
small fire and burn small pieces OF
old comb or beeswax, drawing the
bees in this way. Then take a comb
of honey and let the bees settle on it,
anu pace IL lH5lut vi n DOh. w utu yDui
first bee gets filed. keep your eye on
her. After circling several times, each
circle being larger. she will start on
straight line from you-sometimes
she will start for home when so far
away that one needs good eyes to see
her.
II the colony is close by, there will
soon be others following the first bee.
When you can see them leave the
comb and go without circling, then get
a direct line marked by something you
will remember. Get some of the bees
into the box and carry them to some
other location where your observa-
tion will not be broken by trees, and
let your bees down on the comb,
watching them as before, till you Sc
cure straight line from this point.
Now, all you have to do, is to follow
up this line until you come to where
the other line crosses.-F. G.. Herman,

AppIvinu Manure,

Farmers will have their own views
and practices how to apply the ma
nure. Circumstances and conditions
will make more or less difference. A
farmer should study the matter care
fully and by experimenting on his
own land try to find the best methods.
Both methods of plowing manure
under and surface applications are
practiced, and each will have its ad-
vantages. Coarse, strawy manure
should produce the best results by
plowing under, as II Is difficult incor-
porating It with the surface soil to
any satisfactory degree by narrowing.
Turned under IL will be out of the
way of cultivation, decay and furnish
food for the roots Of the plants as
they extend downward.
It will also serve to tighten the soil
and furnish vegetable matter which is
Of importance. The writer used to
have an idea that surface manurlng
at least on his own land, was alto
gether the best, but later develop
ments rather indicate that plowing the
manure under has its advantages, and
Is to be preferred.
or course, soils, seasons and depth
of plowing will have some influence
or affect in the matter. and one should
not be so decided in his opinions and
practices that he will not be willing to
make change when indications point
to an improvement in so doing.
Then, in conclusion, do all possible

crib.Biting and Wind Sucking.

When he wind-sucks, is he vicious or

pacity of q horse doing regular, con-
stant work, but should anything occur
to prevent his working-as. for in

ing place for their teeth or jams be-
fore they wind-suck. but few are
able to do so with no fixed point to

PANsIEs AND SPRING BEDDING.

PANSIES AND SPRING BEDDING.
Numerous varieties of pansies are
given from four or five types. The
Odiers are marked by three in the
catalogues, but they are all derived
great velvetry blotches; the Bugnots
by five. Both are foreign strains, but
thrive admirably in this country. The
Oder pansy is finest, however, when
given the protection of a cold frame
in winter. Casslers and Trimardeous
are both superb, large flowered sorts,
the latter rather flabby in appearance.
The English pansies are large, round,
velvety beauties not very well adapt--
ed to this country. The bedding pau
sizes are a mass of small, brightly col
ored flowers; they fairly bloom them
selves to death.
1t is time to choose between them.
or to SOW all of them, II you have
room. Usually before the last flowers
of last years seedlings have faded
there will be young pansy plants
springlng from self sown seed all over
the bed.
An old cold frame that can be shad-
ed in the day time is a capital place
in which to sow pansies now. Lack
ing this, they can be sown in a box
or pot in the window, on a corner of
the porch or In cool, sheltered nook
almost anywhere in the garden. IL
an outdoor bed Is chosen for the SOW
Ing, be careful that the soil Is deeply
dug. very rich and moderately porous
with leaf mold and sand; also that
the surface of the bed is raised enough
to keep tbe water from standing on 1t
in winter. Otherwise the little seed
lings will need TO be transplanted.
My own Seeding pansies are always
transplanted from the cool, sheltered
nook that early fall or midsummer
sowing presupposes, to well pre-
pared one that gets the sun and the
shelter of buildings all winter. In
other words, do my transplanting in
October instead of in the spring. From
this sunny bed the plants are trans.
ferred after they have bloomed
through April, May and June, to one
having northern exposure. Here
they rest and give few blooms dur
ing summer, blooming finely again in
fall. When the fall rains begin each
old root will send up strong new shoots
that in little while will be full OF
lovely flowers. The bedding pansles
may be sown in quantity in spring
for summer fiowers.-Vick's Maga-
zine.
