THE DRAINAGE OF SWAMPS
Farmers Who Have No Experience
in the Work Should Engage Serv-
ices of Engineer.

There is no general rule to guide in
experienced persons in the draining of
swamp lands. The quality of swamp
land varies as much as do upland. AS
a general rule here. cranberry and
moss swamp are not the ones to drain
for agricultural purposes. unless un-
derlaid near the surface with well
rotted muck and clay subsoil. Swamps
covered with good timber, not scrub,
and all kinds of grass swamps, are al
most always all right for farming. A
good swamp farm well drained is all
right. Clay subsoil swamps are prefer.
able to sand or hardpan.
Loose soil should not be drained too
deep the first two or three years, but
gradually deepen the drains as the soil
settles, which On some swamps is con-
siderable. Above all things do not
burn off the top soil. as such marshes
are nearly ruined, if not quite. 1t is
true some swamps are ruined by drain.

such matters would do we'll to engage

The uses of these houses may well

VISIT OF THE ARCHBISHOP OF

Ambition.

The archbishop of Canterbury, who
has just arrived in this country has
busy two months before him. Such
distinguished churchman as the pri-
mate of all England does not come to
America every year, and for this reason
the archbishop is likely to be embar-
raised with attentions and burdened
with appointments. The archbishop IL
accompanied by his wife and secretary,
and the party, after a brief visit IN
New York city, will go to Canada
where he will be the guest of the gov
ernor general, the earl of Mimic, at OF
tawa. He will then go to visit friends
In Maine, and will along about the
middle of September go to pay his re-
spects to President Roosevelt.
After that he will go to Boston and
be Mr.. ]. Pierpont Morgan's guest, but
until he reaches that city his days will
be so filled that he cannot accept a
large general reception in New York
city. In October the archbishop has
promised to preach in New York city in
Trinity church, and IT is probable that
then a formal reception will be tender
ed him by George McCullagh Miller,
president of the Church club, of New
York city, on behalf of that organiza-
ton, and Robert G. Hone, president OF
the Catholic league.

A HINT FOR BEEKEEPERs.
How to Secure Full Service Of the
Honey-Makers Without Weak
ening the Colonies.

Apiarist Edwin Bevins claims to
have discovered two ways in which lay
ing worker colonies can be disposed Of
SO as to get all the service out of the
bees that they can render and yet keep
the numbers of the colonies up to what
it was before.
One way is to place the hive contain
ing the laying workers over a strong
colony with a fertile queen, placing a
newspaper with a small hole in it be-
tween the two hives, says the New
York Farmer. The bees will unite
~peaceably. and when considerable
motherhood appears in the upper hive
the hive can be placed on another stand
and the bees will rear a queen from the
brood, if the old queen can be intro
duced about three days after the re-
moval of the hive.
The other plan involves the taking OF
a couple of frames of Matching brood
from a hive and placing them in an
other hive over a strong colony, with a
frame having a wire cloth nailed to
both sides of it between the two hives.
Thus a fertile queen and her escort
are released on two combs, and in a
few days there will be a nucleus strong
enough to take care of the queen. This
hive is then set down by the side OF
the hive holding the laying workers.
Every W or three days a frame with
the bees must be transferred from the
laying-worker hive to the nucleus. By
the time all but two of the frames are
placed in the new hive the queen is at
work there, and everything is harmoni-
Gus.
AS regards the two frames taken to
form the nucleus, they can be returned
to the places from which they were
taken. OF these places can be filed by
the frames remaining unused in the
laying-worker hive.

three feet high in rear, with a window.
six-lighted, in front and door two feet
six inches wide and four feet high at
the east side, as shown in the cut. 1t
is best to have the window so it can
be slid wide open at will and closed
as easily, so we can ventilate to meet
the changes of the weather. All the
furniture that goes with these little
houses is two perches, six feet long,
made of two by four scantling, and a
brooder and drinking fountain. Each
house has a yard to the south IL feet
long. No house is ever complete with
out this yard. for when the chicks are
first moved t. the houses they are
probably not old enough to be given

lean bishops to the d%ecennial Lambeth
conferences and the archbishop is
practically the organizer of it.
Whether any closer tie between the
Anglican church and the American
Episcopal church is contemplated he
cannot say, although there is a practi-
cal unity already. The numerous let
tiers the archbishop has received from
Americans, lay and cleric, referring to
his visit show a sense of community,
and in the warm note of personal SYM
pathy have touched the archbishop.
1t is more thar probable that the
archbishop'S visit to America will
prove memorable on both sides of the
Atlantic. For the conference of 1887,
it is believed, gave birth in the then
secretary's brain to a far-reaching, a
transcendent idea from which may
come a new thing-from which may
spring one of those tremendous forces
which remake the face of the religious
world.
This idea absorbs him; Its realization
is his greatest purpose.
1t is to create in his day and by his
handiwork the union of English-speak-
ing Professionalism into one corporate
body of worldwide scope Such a
union. the archbishop feels certain, is
destined to become the dominant moral
force of the world. greater than the
papacy ever was, a religious replica
of the Roman empire. but an Empire
of God" Such a union would stamp its
will Upon the nations. not by force and
arms. but by the might of faith and
charity and of its high ideal, and so
effect in this twentieth century moth
ing short of a great religious revolution
or reconstruction such as the world has
not seen since the first preaching of
the Christian Gospel.
Such is the archbishop's mission and
purpose in life. His visit to America
is a step toward the accomplishing of
the mission, the realization of the r'lr-
pose. His every utterance and action
in America will be followed in Eng
land most intently.
The Archbishop of Canterbury is the
spiritual, as the sovereign is the civil
head Of the English Protestant Com
munion. He occupies, perhaps, the
most dignifed Office in the empire. In
the order of state precedence he comes
Immediately after the princes of the
blood royal and ahead of the lord chan
cellor, who is the keeper of the kings
conscience.
The archbishop holds an embarrass-
ment OF great state offices. He is pre-
late of the order of the garter and
wears the blue ribbon and gorgeous
diamond star of that order when in full
dress: his is the right to place the
crown actually on the head of the sew
ereign at the coronation; he rs known
as the primate of all England. as dis
tinguished from the archbishop of
York, who is merely primate of Eng
land; he has a seat in the house of
lords and he has a salary of 5000 a
year, which he enjoys, together with
two beautiful historic residences. One
