have double breaster, cut them long
enough to reach clear across all three
bottles. Now drive a five penny nail
through the timber just over the mouth
of the bottles. Leave not less than
one-eighth of the head end of the nails
up. These are to hold the bottom

excellent one-so good that l shall
adopt it for all of my hives.
If desired, four pieces may be used
to constitute the frame work, and these
securely nailed together. Then a longe:

this case l would allow a quarter of
the pin to stand above to prevent the
bottom-board from slipping. Shorter
bottles, such as pint beer bottles, could
be used and bought some cheaper.
A long black bottle with a deeper re-
cess or sink in the bottom could be
used and set up much more easily by
taking wet spell to do the bottle part
of the work. The necks could be

THE CAUSE OF BALKlNESS.
To Avoid Trouble from This Cause
Colts Must Be Trained bya
Sensible Method.

Inc cause of balkiness is not always
the same. 1t is usually, if not always.
due to improper handling in one way
or another. 1t is sometimes due to
putting the colt to a heavy load too
suddenly, before he has learned to pull:
or when he has sore shoulders. To
avoid trouble from this source a writer
IN the Gazette suggests the following
plan. The plan that l suggest does
much the same for a horses shoulders
as biting does for his mouth. It ac-
customs the shoulders to pressure, and
that In such gradual way that the
colt trains himself and stands properly

TIMELY LIVE STOCK NOTES.

The fattening up of show animals
is criticised, but the others seldom
take the prizes.
It is a saying among stockmen that
out-crosses show improvement in the
first cross. but that subsequent crosses
deteriorate.
The herds and animals that take
most of the prizes at our fairs have
been handled by the best feeders. 1t
is sometimes more a contest of feed
ers than of animals.
Sheep can get along without water
better than almost any other kind of
stock, but they need water in spite of
that ability ~ do without. anu the
water adds nuch to their thrift, and,
also, as consequence, to the profits
the farmer gets from sheep.

United States Consul General Woman

Smoke as a Conductor.

On the approach of a thunderstorm
French peasants often make up a very
smoky fire; in the belief that safety from
lightning is thus assured. BY some this
is deemed a superstition, but the custom
is based on reason, inasmuch as the
smoke acts as good conductor for car
rying away the electricity. y

knowing anything more than he could
see, and not understanding much of
that, he kept his westerly course, and
on the next day the lookout sighted q
good-sized merchantmen bearing east
ward.
Now bounded every heart upon the
swiftly coursing vessel of the planter
pirate. There were men there who had
shared in the taking of many a prize;
who had shared in the blood and the
cruelty and the booty; and their
brawny forms trembled with the old
excitement Of the sea-chase; but no
mans blood ran more swiftly, no
mans eyes glared more fiercely, than
those of Capt. Bonnet as he strapped
on his pistols and felt of his sword
hilt.
"Ah, We medina glare SOL" said Ben
Greenway, close at his side. Eye are

The rascals saw. Down came their

steered into the wind and lay to.
"Shall we board her." cried Big
SAM.
"Ay, board her!" shouted back the
Infatuated Bonnet. run the Revenge
alongside, get out your grappling-irons,
and let every man with sword and pis-
tolls bound upon her deck"
At the very head of the long line of
ruf11ans upon the deck of the Revenge
stood Ben Greenway; and, although he
held no sword and wore no pistol, his
eyes flashed as brightly as any glim-
mering blade in the whole ships COM
pany.,$
The two vessels were now drawing
very near to each other. Men with
grappling-irons stood ready to throw
them, and the bow Of the well-steered
pirate had almost touched the side of
the merchantmen, when, with bound
of which no one would have considered
him capable, the good Ben Greenway
Jumped upon the rail and sprang down
upon the deck of the other vessel. This
was a. hazardous feat, and il the
Scotchman had known more about
nautical matters he would not have es-
sayed 1t before the two vessels had
been fastened together. Ignorance
made him fearless, and he alighted in
safety on the deck Of the merchantmen

sells, having touched, separated them
selves from each other for the space Of

"Your men have wandered into my

frightened my passengers. Shall L 60
and bring them up, Mai. Bonnet? They
will be better here"
"Ay, ay!" cried the pirate captain,
surprised that there should be female
passengers on board, and Marchand,
followed by Ben Greenway, disappeared
below
"Confound women passengers" said
Bonnet to himself; that is truly bit
of bad luck"
In few minutes Marchand was
back, bringing with him a mfddle-aged
and somewhat pudgy woman, very
pale; younger woman of exceeding
plainness, and sobbing steadfastly;
and also an elderly man, evidently an
,, invalid, and wearing long dressing
gown.

pirate captain and led him aside.

A WORD ABOUT
IGOLD-MOULDED
RECORDS "

Columbia Moulded Cylinder Records
were the first moulded records on the
market by about a year.
They always have been Gold-mould-
ed. \ gold mould is the only economic
cal and efficient mould known to the
art.
Moulded records are superior to the
old engraved records because they
fiard records last longer and have a
better quality of tone.
gold-mouIded record made of soft
materiaLwould be no better in quality
than an engraved record in soft ma
terial
The best moulded records are not
only Goid-moulded. They are super
hardened.
Gold-moulded records are less ex-
pensiye than engraved records. The
process Is simpler.
Formerly. blank cylinders were
moulded. then shaved. then engraved
from an original. The originals soon
wore out under the reproducing
stylus.
Now. a rold-lined mould is made
from the original. and the product of
that mould is a smoothly finished cyl
.nder. with the sound record already
on it. The life Of the original is in
creased 10 times. Il hundred times, a
a thousand times.

cause it i gold-moulded.
IL Is less expensive.
Columbia Moulded Cylinder Records
are new records. made by new pro-
cess. The are not only gOld-mOulded.
They are super-hardencd.
Irrespective Of price. they are SUI
perior in quality To any other gold
moulded record on the market, and
they sell for only p cents.
