About Unfinished Sections.

After the honey flow has stopped the
unfinished sections that only have a
little honey in them will soon be
cleaned up by the bees without destroy
ing the comb, If covered up near the
hives, leaving room for only one bee
TO go in or out. When given a larger
entrance they destroy the combs, which
are worth saving for starters next sea-
son. When there are many sections
not capped over, or half filed or more,
they may be sold at reduced price, or
converted into liquid honey by melt
ing slowly. After cooling remove the
cake of wax. 4 warm, dry, sunny place
where the temperature stays around the
nineties is an ideal place for storing
honey. Cold and dampness cause honey
to become watery and sour.-Ohio

CLEVER HENS or OREGON.
Their Owner Says They Can Tell
Drones from Working Bees and
Never Make a Mistake.

Worth their weight in coined sill
YER" is the value attached to his flock
OF hens and chickens by w TT. PEN
ming. the most extensive producer Of
honey in the alfalfa region about On
tario, Ore. This high price for poul-
try is not on account of the beauty or
size or pedigree Of his flock, but on ac-
count Of their having developed a fac
ulty of intelligence which enables
them to distinguish between work
ing bee and a drone, which enables
him &c secure much larger yield OF
honey from his 500 hives. as his hens
keep the number OF lazy, idle drones,
who are not armed with stings, but
VINO nave good appetites, reduced to 9
minimum, and more cells are filed and
sealed daily by the busy workers.
Mr.. Penning told the Portland Orc
CONAN the story of the wonderful de~
velopment Of his hens, which are ale
lowed to run at large among his bee
hives, and who, like many other
birds" have a fondness for bees,
bugs, grasshoppers and other insects.
but which, generally speaking, have
learned to leave bees entirely alone,
having in their early attempts at
swallowing them found that pain and
danger lurked in the stings with which
most of them are armed. Within the
past year or two he has noticed his
hens peeking into the entrances OF
hives and occasionally selling a bee,
which. after placing on the ground
and examining critically. they would
sometimes swallow and sometimes all
low to fly away.
This resulted in a careful inyestiga-
tion by him OF the strange action OF
the hens, and he soon found that the
fowls had learned to distinguish the
stingless and useless drones from the
armed working bees, and that in con-
seqence the number of eaters, but
n-produeers of honey, was being
kept within reasonable limits. He has
also discovered that this season the
old hens have taught their chickens
how tc distinguish between the two
classes of bees. He believes that no
other fowls have ever acquired this
valuable knowledge, and has not
found anyone who has ever heard Of
such knowledge being displayed "
any fowl or bird He is greatly de-
lighted at his discovery, for it means
many dollars in his pocket, and his
discovery is now published for the in

Scrubs Eat Their Heads OF.

That scrub animals will waste large
amounts of feedstuffs, was shown in
d feeding test conducted at the Ten
aessee station. A bunch of animals of
good breed and antecedents were fed
FOR beef and gained two and a half
pounds per day, while so-caIled
scrubs" under the same conditions
gained only one and a half pounds, a
difference of one pound per day. The
effect of breeding, blood and conforma-
ton is instanced in another feeding test
where certain beef steers gained only
is pounds in SO days, while others IN
der similar conditions gained 125
pounds in the same period This goes
to show that it does not pay to feed
poor animal. Weed out the scrubs.

WORK FOR YOUNG HORSES
Many Mistakes Are Made in This Di-
reetion by Farmers Who Ought
10 Know Better.

tE may be considered that a horse is

years old, and after that it ought to
pe expected to accomplish any reason
able amount of work asked of it with
out injury. I often think we are in
elined to ask too much of your young
horses. We work them too hard with the
same effect that working children too
hard has: it stunts their growth and
prevents them from accomplishing what
they should when they reach maturity
Feeding young horses is one Of the Sc
rlous problems of farm work and one
which each horse ewner must, largely.
work out for himself.
We have found It not only economical
out good policy to fed the young horse
. moderate quantity Of corn, about one
fifth of the ration, but we always feed
cracked corn and thus avoid any serious
bowel troubles. However, we learned
after some years Of experimenting that
to get the best results from feeding a
ration in which cracked corn was used
we must feed more or less succulent
food. For this purpose we have used
root crops, a moderate amount OF silage
or Stoned clover hay, and had the best
results from the root crops. During the
summer we always permit the young
horses to get enough grass to supply the
green food needed to keep them in good
condition.-American Tribune.

Horses Thrive Best on Oats.


That oats make q better feed for the
horse than corn, especially IN spring,
is generally conceded. The corn has
an overbalance of heat forming mate
rial, which gives him a great surplus Of
fuel to be changed into energy. But
there must be muscle on which to ex-
ereise the energy or it cannot be used.
Corn produces too little muscle. With
oats the balance is more nearly equal
and the energy and the muscle on
which to exercise the energy are in
about the proper proportions. For this
reason the farmer is able to get more
work out of ten pounds of oats than
out of ten pounds of eorn.-Farmers..

THE DEAF MUTE HUSBAND.
Had One Advantage, he Didn't Have
to Look When His Wife
Scolded.

At social gathering some time ago, a
number of deaf mutes were present Re-
freshments were served during the evening,
and in handing small glass of wine to one
OF the guests a deaf mute gentleman hap
pened to spill few drops on his wife's skirt
The wife, relates the Philadelphia Public
Ledger, is also deaf mute, and it was eyi-
dent that she took the mishap in a rather
irritable way. She wrinkled up her fore
head and at once made a series of remark
ably swift movements with her nimbie
fingers. The husband, looking exceedingly
apologize, @ade a few motions in re-
turn.
One. of the guests, who had noticed this
little by-play, slyly slipped out bit OF paper
and penciling something on it, handed il to
friend.
This is what the. letetr read.

STOLEN NAVAJO GIRL
FURNISHED 4 BIT OF DIVER
SION FOR INDIAN COUNCIL.
Her Ute Lover overtaken in His
Flight and Forced to Pay
Double for His Fair
Inamorata.

When the extension Of the Santa fe
& Pacific railroad was projected few
years ago through the Navajo Indian
country along the border line OF New
Mexico and Arizona, great council
of the Indians was called by their head
chief to consider what opposition, ii
any, should be made to the work
Among the notable chiefs who at
tended the council. Big Bull was proba-
bly, the most conspicuous. He came
down from his log hogan on the Chas-
ca, mounted on spirited stallion, and
swept in regal style through Canyon
Bonito, in which the council grounds
were located, followed BY dozen
noisy, red-blanketed warriors. The
weird cries Of his people had scarcely
died away when Iron Kettle and Long
Mouth and Bull Elk, in rapid success
sion, fastened after, riding through the
council grounds at full speed, followed
by retinues Of dusky warriors glorying
in the barbaric splendor Of their high
" colored and silver ornamented trap
pings. After a prolonged delay the
council finally settled down to the busi-
ness for which it had been convened.
and eventually very wisely decided not
to interfere with the building of the
road.
A considerable number of the war
riors in attendance at the council were
accompanied by members of their fam
ilies and the plain at the mouth Of the
canyon in which the council convened,
was speedily covered for some distance
about the opening with the temporary
hogans Of these people. A number of
Ute warriors. attracted by the assem-
bling Of the Navajoes, also gathered al
the mouth of the canyon and estab-
lished themselves in biVouacs on the
plain near the Navajo encampment

American Prunes for Europe.

Another article which has recently
begun to figure. eonspicuously in our
list of exports is the common and de-
spised prune The fact that prunes and
dried apples are going to Europe does
not necessarily mean that American
boarding houses are being improved,
though possibly there IS something Of
that sort ON foot, too. In the case Of
the prunes It means that American
production falmost exclusively On the
Pacific slope) has grown enormously,
and that the methods Of drying and

POULTRY YARD POINTERS.

Good stock is always in demand; in
fernr stock must be sold for an infe-
rior price.
1.-THE little foxes spoil the vines, and
the little mites spoil the profits in poul-
try keeping.
A small flock of fowls, carefully han
died, will pay a better profit than q
large flock carelessly kept.
Color or markings do not cut much
figure when It comes to selecting a
breed for practical purposes.
When supplying private customers
with eggs always sort them both as to
color and size. They will look better
and will bring a better price.
A feast one day and a famine the
next is not conducive to health. thrift
or egg production in flock of fowls.
Regular feeding, well balanced, is the
keynote of success.
If there are pullets or cockerels in
some of the broods that grow faster
them for breeders another season. In
this way you can build up the stamina
Of your flock.
The poultryman who lives near a
creamery OF dairy where he can get
skim milk for his fowls is in luck. It
is an excellent feed for them ard is
especially valuable to use in mixing
the mashes. Buttermiik is also good
IN cu1Iing the flock it is good plan
to save the hens that proved exceptions

be more than offset by their service
