THE WRITER WAS CURIOUS.
Poked His Hand into a Bag of "Crab-
Apples" with Disastrous
Result.

Four men, two of them carrying q big
potato sack between them, walked into
the Hotel Vendig cafe, at Twelfth and
Market streets. shortly before closing time
the other night, and sat down at one of
the tables. The bag was carefully de-
posted in corner relates the Philadel-
phia Press.
A German waiter took the order with
one eye on the sack. Finally his Gu
riosity got the better of him.
Dot s big bag, amt it?" he said.
''Not is in him."
"Apples, Fritz said one of the men.
Take some home to the children"
The waiter accepted the invitation and
plunged his hand into the sack. He
brought it out again in hurry, with a
kard-shen crab clinging to one of HIS
fingers.
Two hundred brothers and sisters of the
first crab promptly took advantage of the
open mouth of the bag to crawl to lib
erty. They backed out of the sack with
a rush and took possession of the cafe.
nipping everything in reach. Several
seized trouser legs and shoestrings and
held fast.
Heroic walters made a sortie with
brooms and swept the crustaceans back
into the bag and tied it up securely.
Say, please demanded the German
waiter, sucking vigorously at his injured
finger. ''vot kind of abbles do you call
dose?"
"Crab-apples," said the four men, in
chorus

NEW BEE DISEASE.
Reported to Have Made It's Appear
ance in Colorado and Is
Contagious.

A comparatively new disease is re-
ported to have appeared among the
bees in Colorado. It is contagious and
is said to spread even faster than foul
brood, sometimes appearing suddenly
ten miles from an infected locality
When colony is vigorous the disease
may be held in allegiance. At other
times weak colony may be used up
by the disease. The larvae die in the
cells usually after nearly full grown,
then the dead larvae gradually shrivel
and dry up and when about the size
of a common house fly the bees pick
them out of the hive. The disease diff
fers from foul brood in the lack of Of
fensive odor and ropiness in the brood
and also in that the diseased larvae
can with care be drawn whole out of
the cell at any stage, which is not the
case with foul brood. Like foul brood,
it can be cured by transferring the
bees into a clean hive on a new foun-
dation. Sprinkling dry fine salt over
combs, bees and brood is remedy for
this as well as other disease.

HOW TO TELL A STATESMAN
Not Only Man Who Makes Speeches,
But Man Who Makes
Good Ones.

The late Horatio G.. Herrick, of Law
renee, for many years high sheriff of Es-
sex county, always took a keen interest
in the Lawrence schools, and was for a
long time chairman of the school commit
tee. Wishing the Saunders school soon
after the death of Garfield, relates the
Boston Herald, Sheriff Herrick spoke
to the pupils of the life of the late
distinguished statesman, and thus asked,
genially:
Now, can any of you tell me what a
statesman is"
A little hand went up, and little girl
replied:
"A statesman is a man who makes
speeches.
Hardly that" answered Mr.. Herrick,
who loved to tell this story For instance,
| sometimes make speeches, and yet | am
not statesman"
The little hand again went up, and the
answer came, triumphantly:
Il know; statesman is man who
makes good speechesi"

and it's the same with fowls.
The first meal FOR the incubator
chick should consist of a mixture of
grains, ground to about the size of a

While there is little nutriment in

there is no reason shy they should not
eat the fruit.
If the chick is backward in breaking
through the eggshell, help it along.
Sometimes the shell is too hard for the
tender little beaks.
The hens should be kept in COM

GRUB IN SHEEP.
The Best Treatment for This Trouble
Is the Application of Tar to
the Nostrils.

In response to the inquiry of western
subscriber who wants to know how to
prevent grub in the head of sheep, the
Farmers voice says: If a flock is a
small one, it is little trouble to catch
each sheep and apply a good dab of
pine tar to its nostrils with a paddle.
Make three or four applications about a
week apart. For a large flock make a
V-shaped trough of six-inch plank,
making the sides rather steep. Tar this
trough well to within two inches of the
bottom and fill this bottom space with
salt.
Farmers usually believe that grub in
the head often causes death in sheep.
but some of our most competent veter-
inarians say that such is not the case.
and that death is seldom caused by
them. At any rate they disturb the an
imals, cause them great annoyance and
probably pain, and anything that can
be done to prevent the parent fly from
laying its eggs in the sleeps nostrils
is time well spent

The wonderful power of Lydia f.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound over
the diseases of womanlxind is not be-
cause it is a stimulant. not because il

Marvellous cures are reported from
all parts of the country by women who
have been cured trained nurses who
have witnessed cures and physicians
who have recognized the virtue of

credit where it is due,
If physicians dared to be frank and
open, hundreds of themwould acllnowl-
edge that they constantly prescribe
Lydia Il. Pinilham's Vegetable Com
pound in severe cases of female ills, as
they know by experience it can be re-
lied upon to effect cure. The follow

BOTH PLEASURE AND PROFIT
fully Handles Large Num-
Der of Hives.

We have four apiaries in and around
the city, and two others in the north
ern part of the state. We take care
of the four near by, ourselves, the
home yard being queen rearing
apiary, from which we supply the out
apiaries with queens and nuclei, when
needed. This apiary takes more time
than all the others combined We win
ter three apiaries in our house cellar,
bringing the bees home late in the fall.
In the spring we take out one apiary at
a time, give the bees chance to have
a good fly, then take it to it's summer
location. The second one we treat in
the same maner, after which we set out
our home apiary, which usually fills all
available space on city lot But
must add right here that We keep nearly
100 colonies in the space between the
house and shop.
AS soon as possible after having a
good fly, each colony should be looked
over and their condition noted, as some
times queens are lost during this first
flight.
Beekeeping is very fascinating pur-
suit, as well as a profitable one, writes
Mrs. HI. G. Acklin, in the Orange Judd
Farmer. Every farmer should keep a
few bees, for the educating and elevat-
ing influence they have on all who work
with them, as we'll as to supply his own
table with honey. And they should not
be set down in an out-of-the- way COR
ner and no attention paid to them. No
one would expect profits from other
stock treated N this way; nor can we
get it from the bee. But, given a fair
share of attention at proper times, we
soon find the beehive a source of rev.
enue. The bees never fail, when in
proper condition, to store honey, pro-
viding there is nectar within their
reach. Hard times make no difference
to them.
Mild favored extracted honey is a
very fine substitute for sugar. In our
family we use honey in a great many
ways. Canned fruit sweetened with
honey is delicious. Also, jams, mar
malades and jellies, the latter having
to be boiled few minutes longer than
when made with sugar. Cakes sweet
ened with honey are rich in flavor and
keep fresh several days. Caramels made
from honey can be eaten with impunity
Honey vinegar is one of the best, if not
the best vinegar made. 1t is perfectly
pure, just honey and water, and can be
eaten without fear of injuring the stom-
ach. 1t will keep pickles, either plain or
sweet, Indefinitely. All the expense at
tached to honey vinegar is little work.
We wash our cappings, thereby putting
them in better shape for the solar wax
extractor, and use the water for vinegar.
| like the plan of setting them out
on their summer stands in the evening.
They then have the benefit of the fresh
air during the night, and as the morning
light comes on, will seek the outside air
gradually and not with such a rush as
when taken out in the daytime

Utilizing the Hog.

N. A. Clapp says: One of the most
economical ways of feeding corn to
cattle is in the shock. While at first
thought this may seem like a Slip
shod method. with hogs to follow the
cattle and to consume the undigestcd
corn that passes the cattle, there is but
little lost Under this method the food
consumed by the hogs would be well
nigh valueless without them to con-
sumo it. Hogs fattened in that way
yield a large profit"

POULTRY HOUSE WITH SCRATCHING
SHE'D

The shed is covered with mesh wire,
and it is wise to have a door that
may be hooked on to it to cover it dur
ing heavy snowstorms. This will pre-
vent the filing of the shed with snow.
This scratching shed proves a place for
exercise during the snowy months.
Chaff is scattered on the floor and the
grain thrown into It. The covering of
mesh wire is better than a covering
of glass.
Experiments at Cornell, says the
Farmers Review, have shown better
results from hens in open scratching
yards like the one suggested by the
cut than in sheds that were covered in
front with glass and were kept warm.
