Chickens in Beehive.

Chickens in Beehive.
The common honey bee is the lat,
est kind of an incubator. That may
seem foolish statement, yet it has
been practically demonstrated 10y an
Ohio farmer. Hereafter the .patien
hen may have rival in the indus
uious little insects, for the latter can
be used to hatch biddy's eggs as well
rs the most improved pattern Of
mans devices. What is more, the
bees can oTtstrip the mother hen by
two days. 1t takes the old hen 81
days to hatch setting of eggs. A
colony of bees can do it in 10, says
the Cleveland Leader. Here is how
the discovery was made: Henry
Decker, an old resident Of Rome, o.,
is an apiarst of no little consequence
He has climbed TO the top of his pro,
fessiona ladder, and has made some
original observations. Mr.. Decker Is
nearly 20 years Of age, but ne enjoys
the reputation of being the first per.
son to utilize the heat generated by
bees for the Matching OF chickens. He
is able to hatch 100 chicks from 100
fertile eggs in 10 days.
In speaking of how he came to
make this discovery, Mr. Decker said;
Il was transferring swarm of bees

whether there was not another hen

matte and peevish in the 3ld-fashionel
way of Matching chickens when one

can give hundred chickens in l9
days? Mr., Decker has practiced this
method OF Matching during the past
eight years. This discovery nigh
be utilized by every farmer who has
the knack of keeping bees. If on
colony Of bees can he made to do the
incubator work of eight or nine hens
and produce from 140 to 400 pound

THOUSANDS WANT TO MARRY.
Keen Competition for Young Women
Who Drew Dakota Farms.

Bonesteel. S. d., April 2-Thousands
of letters from candidates for matri-
mony in all parts of the United States
and Canada are coming to Land Com.
missioner ]. d. Keller of Bonesteel, s.
ID. The writers wish photos, names,
addresses and other information con-
corning the 121 young women who
drew fine farming homesteaJs in the
recent opening OF government land
of the Rosebud Indian reservation in
Gregory county, South Dakota.
The avalanche of letters now pour
ing in on Commissioner Keller is the
result of a recently published inter
view In which Mr.. Keller In speaking
of the rapid development of the newly
opened lands mentioned that over 100
of the lucky homesteaders were young
women and intimated that many OF
them wanted husbands to nelp take
care of the farms.
The letters come from men of every

King Lear Lives.

Speaking apropos OF the recent pro
duction of King Lear in Paris, Maurice
Maeterlinck says: 1T is safe to lie
clare, after surveying the literatures
of every period and OF every country,
that the tragedy of the old king con-
stitutes the mightiest, the yastest,
the most stirring, the most intense
dramatic poem that has ever been
written. Were we to be asked from
the height Of another planet which is
the synthetic play representative ald
archetypal of the human stage, the
play in which the ideal of the loftiest
scenic poetry is most fully realized,
it seems to me certain that. after due
elaboration, ali the poets OF our earth

Not word more. Lieutenant
Louis b. Chandler, thirtietb United
States infantry, turned away from the
coffin at Omaha that was closing be
fore his eyes. A moment later an un
lertaker's wagon was hurrying the
coffin away-in It lay the body of the
lientenants wife, who had chosen to
end an army tragedy by shooting her
self through the heart at the Paxton
hotel here. Almost at the same time
he other officer in the case, Captain
George w. Kirkman, tried suicide, too
al Fort NiobraTa, Neb. But the four
gashes he cut in his wrist and the
morphine that he swallowed immedi-
ately afterward lid not prove enough
to end his life.
Captain Kirkman's court.martial was
begun at Valentine, Neb., a few days
ago. 1t Is certain he will be dis
missed from the army in disgrace.
Captain Kirkman has threatened
time AMI again to follow the woman he
loved-though she was another mans
wife-to the grave. He Is under guard
now and Mrs. Chandler, who was Miss
Elizabeth Henley of Baltimore is In

for her had changed in the slightest
She hal confided In me. She told me
that she had been forbidden to return
TO her home in Baltimore. She told
me that she and her mother had fallen
out forever.
MRS Chandler also confided in me, -
added Captain Kirkman, that her hus-
band owed everything to the influence
of her powerful relatives. Henry

Sheep in New England.

One can hardly take up an agricuI
tural paper nowadays without seeing
some one advocating the keeping OF
more sheep on the farm, and at ths
same time statistics show that they
are growing less and less, says a Yer
mont correspondent of the New York
Tribune Farmer. can remember
when the New England hills were all
covered with sheep, but where hay
they gone and what is the trouble?
Some say that the keeping of dogs
has driven them away. Other say
that it costs too much TO fence against
them, Some say one thing and some
another. Did we not keep dogs years
ago, and did we not have to fence
them in? Now, the whole secret Is
this: They do not pay as well as
the dairy or other kinds Of stock. Put
wool on a paying basis and you will
find men tumbling over enc another
to buy sheep, and these New England
hills will again be covered with sheep.

There are men who make a success

others raising onions; others raising
skunks, etc, but Is that any reason
why We can all succeed in the same
way? see that men every Iittla
while are looking over the abandoned
farms Of New England thinking Of
buying them and turning them into
large sheep raches. DO they think
that they can raise wool and mutton
where they have TO feed The sheep
six months in the year from the barn
and make a success Of ii, against
those who can run them out nearly
or quite the whole year and not pay
much more to get their product to
the seaboard market than farmer in
good part of New England must
pay? These abandoned farms are all
right for keeping sheep through the
summer, but what are YOU going to
keep them on through the winter?
