A PARADISE FOR WOMEN.
Divorce Unknown and Widow
hood Hard to Bear.

The treatment accorded women in
the island of Sumatra ought to be a
great satisfaction to the advocates OF
women's rights. At marriage the
worldly possessions of the husband
are made over to the wife, and he
thenceforth devotes his energies to
increasing this fortune. Divorce is
practically unknown, perhaps because
husband and wife do not live together
but live in separate houses.
The lot of married woman is such
a happy one in this favored land that
widowhood is rendered proportionate
ly hard to bear. Consequently the
orihamme, or widows veil is specially
manufactured of the lightest possible
material; it's texture being as fine as
muslin, with the results that the most
gentle of breezes soon tear it to pieces.
Thus within very short space does
the widow ind herself free to marry,
and but few months elapse before she
has found someone to console her and
has again bound herself with the gold
en- bonds of matrimony.

The temperature averaged about

In the localities visited by good
showers the corn is very fine and all
crops are good.
Wheat threshing is about COM

Bees in Early Spring.

Probably the most critical period
for cellar wintered bees is during
early spring. The long confinement
of five or six months is very hard on
bee life, to say the least. II bee
cellar is so arranged that the tenn
perature can be regulated at the
most favorable point, it will be a
great saving on the vitality of bee
life. Should the bees become rest
less and begin 20 crawl about their
hives or cluster on the outside of
them It would indicate that they are
getting uncomfortable on account of
foul air, or the cellar may possibly
be too warm. We would suggest
opening the cellar windows at night
and admitting cool air until the bees
have formed compact cluster
inside of the hive. Bottom boards,
of course, should have been removed
when the bees were placed in the
cellar; but, il this has been neglect
ed, raise the body of the hive an
inch or two all around to admit suf-
ficient ventilation.
A great mistake is often made in
taking the bees out Of the cellar too
early in the spring, as the weather is
unsettled at this time, and cold
snap Of few days will be very apt
TO cause the colony to dwindle to al
most nothing, if it does not entirely
succumb.
We would advocate setting them
out about the time soft maple and
elm trees begin to bloom. III there
are only few hives they can all be
set out at once. Select pleasant
day, so that the bees can enjoy a
cleansing flight.
Bees often become sadly mixed up
if a great number of hives are set
out at one time, some hives getting
too many bees and others not
enough. If the bees are disposed to
before setting out time
has actually arrived, they may with
profit be set out some pleasant day
for flight and then be placed back
in the cellar toward evening.-F. @.

Neatness a Good Investment.

Many farms are estimated below
their true value because of slovenly
appearance. Weeds higher than the
fences, trees blown down and left to
rot, fences out Of repair, gates and
barn doors off their hinges, or swing
ing on one hinge, unsightly litter in
door-yard and at the barn-these
and many such evidences of care
lessness depreciate the value.of any
farm. The soil may be excellent,
the water facilities all that could be
asked for, and all natural advan-
tages requisite to make good, high
priced farm may exist-and yet that
farm scarcely makes its owner a
