Taking into consideration every
factor that goes to make up the
success of a city, 1t can be said that
no place In West Virginia has
brighter future than Sistersville.

Mixed with this is the finish of metallic
black and bronze luster. They are beau
tiful in form and feather and breed true
to shape and color. The female has a
lighter shade of gray in her markings
than the male. Her entire color
throughout is of lighter shading.
Size.-The standard weights of this
variety are, for males. from 20 to 80
pounds, according to age; for females,
- to Is pounds. Some old males of both
this and the bronze variety weigh over
40 pounds. These weights are excessive
and of but little advantage in breeding;
medium-sized males and females are
more valuable for producing stock.
None of the several varieties of turkeys
of this variety are fine in form of breast
and body, not SO long in the leg as the
Bronze, and of a rather more contented
nature. The do not average SO large
in size as the Bronze, but where grown
they are highly valued. Some declare
that the Narrangansetts will reach
market size and condition in less time
than the Bronze turkeys, but the writer
has not been able to ascertain the truth
of this statement.

FEEDING THE BEES.
The Precautions Which Must Be
Taken in the Fall to Secure
Strong Colonies.

When an apiarist finds, in the fall,
that his colonies have a scarcity of
stores, he must feed bountifully. In the
spring, if he finds short stores, he must
feed also, with sugar strip. Even q
colony which has enough honey to tide
it over till honey flow is stimulated by
a treat now and then OF the warm strip,
writes Ellen Brainerd, in the New Eng
land Homestead. Before it is possible
for the bees to gather pollen, 1t is well
to place some rye flour where they can
get it. 1t employs them and in a meas
ure takes the place of pollen. In pre-
pairing food for the oees, use white
graduated sugar or coffee A sugar, and
if possible it is best to mix with honey
and water.
Equal proportions of water and sugar
just brought to a boil makes a strip Of
good consistency, but many apiarists
prefer the sugar thoroughly dissolved
in the hot water. 1t is wrong to use any
inferior grade of sweets or to use mo-
lasses in feeding the bees. 1t would be
especially unwise in the fall, when the
bees were storing up for the winter, as
such feed would produce diarrhea.
There are a number of methods OF
feeding bees and many contrivances
have been invented to facilitate feeding
and also to supply the strip in such a
way as not to attract nor feed robber
bees. A good and inexpensive feeder is
the little simplicity trough feeder. Any
Il who is mechanical can easily make
a trough feeder. Fill the trough, which
is merely followed out, oblong pieces Of
wood with lengthwise partitions, on
which the bees perch themselves to sip,
with warm strip. and set at the hive en-
frances at nightfall, or else set the
trough over the frames. If this latter
method is adopted, the super must be
placed on the hive to make a space for
the trough.
Another simple way of feeding is to
I'LL small brown paper bags with strip.
making pin-pricks in the bottom of the
bags, and place these bags over the
frames. If the feeding is done in the
super space. it must be done in the day.
as the empty super would chill the hive
at night. A cake of hard sugar candy,
placed on the top of the frames, over the
brood nest, is a good way of feeding, but
not so stimulating as the warm strip.
If a colony Is found in the spring weak
and short on stores, an excellent way to
build it up is to give it one or two frames
Of brood and honey from a strong coll
ony.

FALL FLOWING.
Opinion That Tt Tends to Rob the
Land of Much of It's
Fertility.

The falI-breaking question must be
settled by every farmer TO suit his W
conditions. but we think it safe to lay
down the general principle that fall
breaking tends to rob the land of much
CT its fertility. says the Farmers
Voice. The Rothamstead and other
experiments have proved conclusively
that the bare soil loses a great deal of
nitrogen during the wet weather of
winter and early spring, while I'M
broken land, that is even sparsely COW
cred with any green crop, loses an in
appreciate amount. This loss is not
so easily detected on our rich prairie
soils, nor is it so great where the land
is hard frozen for long periods, but
the question is, can we afford to lose
any of that element of fertility thai
costs us Is cents per pound to restore?
If we thought that we must break
our lands very deeply, we would be
very much inclined to do the work in
the fall, early enough to permit Of a
seeding of wheat or rye. We would do
this deep breaking preferably in the
fell, SO as to allow the frosts % help
~reestablish the connection between the
upper and the subsoil, as regards water
supply, and would SOW the grain to pre-
serve the nitrogen in the soil and
would harrow or disk it under in
spring.
AS we come better to understand the
problems connected with agriculture,
we find that We have, in the past, done
many things that were entirely I'M
necessary to the making of a good
crop. Some of the best farmers. who
g1ow corn after corn on very rich
lands, have abandoned the practice of
"breaking," as the term is understood
to mean turning the soil with a plow,
and merely disk and harrow the sur
face in the spring a few days before
planting. In private experiments we
lave found this to be preferable to
breaking the land with share and
mold board plow.

Old plaster furnishes good lime ma

Late Matched pullets rarely lay un-

self it is lousy.
Coal oil applied to the roosts in
small quantities will kill parasites.
Proportionately there is more money
in a small flock than in a large one.
A hens profitable laying seems to
be limited to the first two years OF
life.
Statisticians assert that more money
is spent in this country for eggs than
-four.
Even for fattening fowls for mar
ket, an excessive corn diet will not do
for any length of time.
The farmer can produce a pound OF
chicken more cheaply than he car pro-
duce a pound of beef, pork or mutton,
and it always brings a better price.
Alfalfa, well cured and chopped up
fine, will be found just the thing for
poultry in winter. OF course, it may

foot of the table the plants to be sup
piled with water should be grouped, as
our picture shows. For each plant take
a length of worsted, at one end of which
tie a small stone, or anything that will
act as a weight. Soak the worsted .
moment in the water, and then, leaving
at the bottom of the bowl the end to
which the weight is attached, let the
other end of the length of worsted hang
down over the bowls edge. Particular
ly, however,a take care that the end of
the worsted hanging outside comes
lower than the bottom of the bowl.
Doing this, you have in reality on

is water in the bowl it will. by travelling
first up the length of worsted that is in
side the bowl-see dotted lines-and
then down the hanging portion outside.

To be sure that all is in working order,
1t is we'll to set the appliance working,
say, the day before leaving it. And, of
course, the greater the volume of water
originally provided. and the fewer the
lengths Of worsted draining from it,
the longer the supply of water will last.

WHAT HE GOT THEM WITH
No Ailments in the Crowd, But the
Fakir Had Something That
Sold Quickly.

Gentlemen" began the fakir as he ar
ranged numerous bottles on a little table
at a downtown street corner and prepared
for business, has anyone in this crowd
got a toothache?"
No one answered, relates the Chicago
Inter Ocean.
Has anyone an earache or a head
ache?"
Not a man had anything to say.
Very well, then; but are you troubled
with insomnia? Are you low spirited,
and do you find yourself thinking of sui
cider"
The appeal was like the other-in vain.
The crowd elbowed each other, but no
one advanced.
Very well, gentlemen; very well. Now,
is there anyone here who INDUCES in in
toxicants and wishes to conceal the fact
from the women folks? If so, l guaran-
tee that one drop of this marvellous
preparation placed on the tongue will in
stantly remove the odor of any"
There was a mad rush from all direc.
tons, and for the next five minutes he
gave change and passed out the bottles
with both hands.

An Homes Opinion.

Mineral, Idaho, Nov. l4th (Special).-
That a sure cure has been discovered for
those sciatic pains that make so many
lives miserable, is the firm opinion of Mr..
y. S. Colson, a well known resident of
this place, and he does not hesitate to
say that cure is Dodd's Kidney Pills.
The reason Mr.. Colson is so firm in his
opinion is that he had those terrible
pains and is cured. Speaking of the mat
ter he says:
Il am only too happy to say Dodd's
Kidney Pills have done me lots of good,
! had awful pains in my hip so | could
hardly walk. Dodd's Kidney Pills stopped
it entirely. l think they are a grand
medicine"
All Sciatic and Rheumatic pains are
caused by Uric Acid in the blood. Dodd's
Kidney Pills make healthy kidneys and
healthy kidneys strain all the Uric Acid
OUT of the blood. With the cause re-
moved there can be no Rheumatism or
S~ciatica.

How to Dress a Sheep.

To prevent the meat from tasting OF
the wool, as soon as the sheep has been
bled, hang it up and slit the skull across
the hind quarters and the belly. Peel
it back a little and cut a slit into the
belly just back or above the paunch,
letting the wind or gas from about the
viscera. II the gas remains in too long
after the animal has been killed, it per-
meates the flesh and gives it a bad taste,
hence it is necessary to let out the gas
as soon as possible. Afterward the
carcass may be dressed at leisure, keep
ing the wool away from the flesh. BY
following this method the meat is al
ways sweet and good.-Midland Farm

DLENTY of vessels. but what is the
J. condition of those vessels? This
is the first question which must arise
between the one who would be used and
the Christ who longs to use. What IS
the condition? Not the outward ap-
pearance, but the inward state. Not
what man beholds and knows, but what
God sees and knows. What is the condi-
ton of the vessel? Is it clean or I'M
clean? The condition of that vessel is
the point which determines whether 1t
will be used or cast aside. What is the
condition of your heart and mine?
What is there that renders ii unfit for
the Masters use? Let God direct and
conduct the search. and He will reveal
the smut and the dirt and -uncleanness
which now renders you unfit for His
service. What is it that can render the
vessel unclean? Sin, you say, in its
manifold forms and degrees. Yes, such
~uncleanness is readily recognized and
understood. You do no. need to be told
that it is that secret sin, that s~elf-indul-
renee, that violation OF the laws of God
and man. But there is something else
besides the filth gathered by walking in
forbidden paths and receiving unholy
things. The dish upon the shelf may be
unfit for use, not because it has come
in contact with the foul OF unclean
thing, not because it has been used fol
impure purposes, but just simply be-
cause it has been allowed to stand I'M
used upon the shelf until the dust has
covered it. 1t was put away clean and
wholesome, but now it IS unusable be-
cause of the coating of black dust. And
so it may be with the Christian. He
may be unclean from disuse. He may
have lain upon the shelf of indiffer-
eace and neglect SO long that the dust
has collected-the dust of prayerless-
ness, the dust of no Bible reading, the
dust of neglected duty, the dust of Sab
bath ease and neglect Of church. And
if the dust is there it must be cleaned
away, just the same as other foulness,
before the vessel can be meet for the
Masters use.

A ND yet a favorite figure used to
"A typify the humble disciple whom
Jesus loves to honor by filling with His
presence and using in power and with
glory to His name, is that of the clay,
the common clay from which is made
the vessel fit for the Masters use.
Such thought brings cheer and encour-
agement to the poorest and weakest OF
Jesus disciples. One may not possess
the gold and silver of splendid train
ing and abilities; one may not be the
gold or the silver that graces and beauti-
ies the conspicuous places, and that
fills the most prominent and impor-
tant positions. One may be only the
despised and ~unnoticed vessel of wood
or of earth, and still be so clean and
sanctiied that the Master as He
searches the shelves for vessels fit for
His use will gladly take him and use
him. AS the Master passes to and fro
through His house, think Of what may
meet His gaze. Shelves full of YES
sells; enough for all the worldwide
purposes of God. The church is not
weak because of lack of numbers
With the forces now marching under the
banner of the cross, Jesus could speedi-
ly win the world to Himself if those
forces were obedient to His will and re-
sponsive to His mighty power. AS the
Master passes through His nousehe sees
plenty of vessels. He finds there the
gold and the silver ones. How He longs
to use them. How much more could
be accomplished with them than with
the commoner vessels. How much the
world needs them. With eager hand He
reaches out and takes the gold and sill
yer vessel. He covets ii for His service.
He has work for it to do. He looks
within. All. what is it that meets His
gaze? It is unclean. 1t is unfit for
use. Sadly He replaces this splendid
vessel and takes another to examine.
So over the shelves He goes. The shad-
ows on His face deepen, the pain and
disappointment in His heart grow
more intense. until at last with a glad
cry way up on the top shelf out OF
sight and unnoticed and unknown He
discovers the common vessel of clay
which is purged and clean and fit for
use. He takes it down. He says: This
will do" And into that common YES
sci He pours His grace and power until
men, beholding, exclaim: Surely,
this man has been with Jesus"
