BOUDOIR CHAT.

Women have gone in for tucking and
faggoting frillings and stitches, and all
the rest of it, and now the industrious
woman has the chance of turning her
work to the advantage of her summer
wardrobe. Crochet belts, crochet lace
edgings, crochet yokes, and crochet col.
lars will all come in useful If only a
good pattern be chosen, bearing well in
mind that they should resemble lace as
much as possible.
In the impatient mood we are apt to
spend far more than is required in the
doing of our work, and this excess is
lost. We cannot estimate the value OF
the power thus misplaced.

The Apiary.

There are few things which must
be kept in mind to insure success.
will briefly touch these. points. The
first rule, which has very appropriate
ly been called "the golden rule OF bee
keeping" is that you must keep your
colonies strong at all times, il you
wish to get honey crop. Keep this
In view always and work for 1t.
The second thought or rule. and one
very closely related to the above is in
relation to the queen. A good prolific
young queen is necessary at all times.
You should see to it that your queens
do not outgrow their usefulness,
queen over two years old as rule, be-
comes Improbable, as the queen is the
life of the colony, it is very essential
that this matter be considered very
carefully.
The hive is a very important mat
ter.
Here are the points to consider in a
hive: First, success in wintering; sec
ond. amount of comb honey obtained;
third, ease and speed of manipulation.
l.. l.. Langstroth, the father of mod
ern bookkeeping came very near solv-
! ing all those points, or at least the
first two, successfully. His ideas on
those two points are the best known
today. His hive has been changed
slightly to secure the third, SO that
his hive, all things considered gives
the best results of any hive In use
today. Each manufacturer has some
pet hobby or theory to catch the fancy;
but for safety in wintering and results
give me the Iangstroth hive adapted
for pound sections.
A common mistake with beginners
is to think that they can improve the
| standard hives. Don't try it. If you
want to make your own hives, send to
some factory and get sample hive all
nailed and fitted up, and make your
hives exactly like it. Each piece and
space has been carefully thought out
and tested and means something

VALUE OF PRAISE.

Has it ever struck you what sweet
ener of life is few words of appre'
ciation and encouragement? How few
of us take the trouble to stop few
moments and praise servant for
work we'll done. or even pause to tell
our nearest and dearest how we appre-
ciate all the daily services, which we
have apparently never noticed.
When our friends die we hasten to
send beautiful flowers as last appre-
ciation of our love for them. But
would it not be better if we had helped
them by little praise when they were
working, or if we had cheered them
in the dark days when they were
troubled and suffering?
Only few kind words of apprecia'
ton! The cost is nothing, but the re-
compense is beyond price. Let che
husband tell the wife how much he
prizes her love for him, and the wife
tell her husband how truly she recog'
nizes all his care for her. And the
mother should reveal in words how
much she values her children's ahec'
ton. while the child who says to its
mother, "Thank you for all your love
to me-" has rewarded her far beyond
knowledge or understanding.-Wom

Value of Irrigation.

"The most important factor In grow
ing crops is soil moisture" says Farm
Stock Journal. Poor soil will grow
good crops If water is supplied in just
the right quantity at the right time,
while the very best soil will produce
nothing without water.
although agriculture is hundreds of
years old the minor details have re-
ceived all or nearly all of the consid-
Grafton of agriculturists up to the
present time. The most important OF
all, that of the regulation of soil wat
er has received the least attention
Experiments on large scale here and
there with irrigation works in sections
of the country where rainfall is sup
posed to be sufficient also have proved
very profitable.
'The probabilities are that auxiliary
in the near future will receive the at
tention that it should. OF course arti-
fetal irrigation in rainy sections OF
| the country on large farms in all pro-
liability will be out of reach for prac-
tical use. Throughout the thickly set
tied portions of the east and middle
states, especially near large markets,
such crops as strawberries, potatoes,
cabbage, in fact almost all trucking
crops could be grown under irrigation
to advantage In many places the cost
of irrigation would be very slight as
| the water supply Is now going to
waste through small or large streams
that could be run by gravitating to
the land or lifted at slight expense by
wind or power. The necessity of
growing larger crops is becoming more
pronounced every year. Experiment
| stations are working out problems in
irrigation and sub-irrigation that are
extremely interesting. In southern
sections, where two or three crops may
be grown on the same land within the
year, returns would be better than in
the north, where only one crop usual
ly is grown. But some means for
increasing the output Of land on the
smaller farms and in trucking districts
must come soon.
"a great deal has been done of late
years to conserve the natural rain
fall with the result that better crops
are grown simply by better cultivation.
The habit of keeping the ground loose
on top to prevent evaporation Is grow
ing and extending each year. The val
ue of rotation to prevent plentiful
supply of humus also is recognized by
better farmers everywhere 1t is now
well known that soil containing plen-
ty of humus also contains sufficient
moisture for the needs of all crops
when rainfall is abundant. When the
soil is very loose water is not brought
up from below with sufficient rapidity
to feed the roots of growing plants. In
such soils probably no means of sup,
plying moisture will be found until ir'
rigation is tried. But other soils hav'
ing a clay subsol and furnished with
sufficient humus the moisture question
is easier"

Feather Pillows.

Pillows wear out just like anything
else, says a housekeeping authority,
even though one may change the TICK
covering from time to time; the
feathers become impregnated with
dust and dirt and lose the life that is
in all good feathers at first. Then,
too, years ago feathers were not pre-
pared, nor pillows made according 10
the scientific methods that now op'
tain. A pair of feather pillows bought
today of a reliable firm, are not al
all like the feather pillows OF our
gandmother's day, as one soon hnds'
and it would be wise for many a
housewife to go through her bed
chambers and place new pillows on
every bed renovating the feathers in
the old pillows, for which purpose
they do very well, but not for AFFORD
ing comfortable rest and sleep al
night.

The Crop That Never Fails.

know of only one sure crop on the
farm that never fails, no matter what
the weather or the condition of the
soil. and that is the weed crop. The
past season has been very favorable
for this crop, and an abundant yield
of seed is sure to follow, so that we
may expect large weed crop next
summer. On occasional farms there
are comparatively few weeds, except
those in fence corners, along the roads,
or in places not cultivated or grazed
by sheep These places on our farms
should be looked after, the weeds cut
and left on the ground, IL green; II
ripe, burn them. 1t Is surprising how
many such weeds can be destroyed in
a short time by a good scythe in the
hands of man who knows how to
use 1t. Along the road, weeds are left
to go to seed, and cause trouble to
adjoining fields that would doubtless
have been almost clear of weeds
