 Happy is the poultry keeper who has dry earth. sifted coal ashes and litter with which to keep the hennery sweet and dry for the next six weeks.
 People differ as to their methods of caring for poultry. and it is because ol these differences in methods that one man succeeds and another fails.
 One can usually depend on the hardi- ness of fowls that feather slowly. Many of the smaller breeds feather quickly. and naturally the system is weak after it

HOW THE BEE MATCHES.
Writer Explains Process by Which the Young Workers Are
 Produced.

The egg of the queen bee Is about one sixteenth of an inch long. and as large around as fine cambric needle. These are deposited in the cells by the queen. sticking fast to the bottom of the cell so as to stand on end, being held by an ad- hesive substance. says the Epitomist. In from 60 to 72 hours. these eggs hatch into little worms or larvae. They remain in the larvae state about six days. when the cell containing them is sealed over with raised capping by the working bees and the larvae. after spinning its cocoon and undergoing transformation simi- lar to that from caterpillar to butterfly, emerges a perfect insect. as worker bee in 21 days. or as drone in 24 days. the time being accelerated A little by ex- treme heat, or retarded by cool weather.

TWO FORTUNES LOST.
Trials of a Southerner Who Tried Raising Bees and Goats on the

To get rich quick, you only need to let bees make honey while you wait a friend assured me. Now that sounded good to me who, like'many of us south- erners, is more disposed to rest than to work. So bought a bee-gum full Of bees, says Frank King, of Jackson coun- ty. Ala. in Farm and Home, and set it in my back yard amid flowers and bloom. Those bees got down to business right straight away off, and I was so happy watching them work me up one fortune. until it made me covetous for another.

the snow or bare ground in winter with pieces of the dead clover and alfalfa stems. but their distribution Is effected chiefly by artificial means.
 Dodder seeds placed in the soil ger minate, under favorable conditions. in practically the same manner as do the seeds of clover or other plants. but in- stead of two green leaves there appears above the surfave very slender. incon- spicuous yellow shoot. This binds to one side, then swings slowly around, lengthening meanwhile. until it strikes e green plant If no plant upon which 1t can live Is within reach. the dodder seedling dies as soon as it has exhausted the nutriment stored up in the seed. But If the swinging shoot comes against a congenial host. 1t twines about it. in some places tightly, in others loosely.
 One of the most practical methods to complete the eradication of dodder after removing the vegetation from infested spots is to spade or hoe the soil to the depth of about two inches and to keep this stirred so as to prevent the growth of any plants for three weeks. This method is especially recommended il the dodder vines had begun to produce seed before their removal. Fire may be used to destroy the dodder. To destroy by this means seeds that have fallen to the ground. requires a considerable de- gree of heat maintained for several min 1 uies. This is secured by covering the infested area with light wood or chips well sprinkled with kerosene. Straw or shavings do not produce heat enough close to the ground.
 Dodder has been killed in some in- stances by smothering it with thick covering Of manure. muck. or ashes. but | these methods cannot be recommended. A thick sprinkling of wood ashes when I he clover is wet with dew may accom- plish the desired result. chiefly through | the action of potash. but this method also is unreliable These methods are for application in fields where the dodder is confined to comparatively small spots. They are not practicable where large areas or considerable portions of . fieid are infested.
 ! One of the best methods for subduins dOdder after it has become widely dis tributed. says Orange Judd Farmer. Is 10 turn sheep on the land. confining them
 with a portable fence if necessary. so that they will keep the infested areas | closely sTAzei- While pastured in dod- der-infested felds. the sheep should not be moved aboI; the farm any more than is necessary as they are likely to carry coider seeds and pieces of the vine in the ciefts os their hoofs and in their wool

 Now the fool had dismounted, and she observed that he was bending over another jester who had been unhorsed Why" she murmured to herself in surprise. ''Caillette! AS good soldier as a fool Who among the testers could have unseated him?'
 But her wonderment would have in creased could she have overheard the conversation between the dukes fool and Caillette as the former lifted the other from the sands and assisted him to walk or rather limp to the testers pavilion.

Billy Goat was turned in there.
 All went we'll for few days, but trouble came when Billy undertook to interview the bees! One of them. re- senting the absence of a letter of intro duction. stung Billy on the snout That was the signal for action. Billy was sur prised, but maintaining his presence of mind. and calling to his aid all the con- bative fearlessness of his race, Billy backed off about a mules length. and let drive at the bee-gum with a fury that even Port Arthur could not withstand. He busted the hive wide open, and sent it kiting. Were the bees angry? We'll, actions speak louder than words. They just swarmed onto Billy! In less time than it takes to tell it, every inch of his hide was covered with roaring, wris- gling, stinging bees.
 The goat gave one awful exclamation that sounded like a confederation oi Jap and Russian oaths with Chinese walls, shook himself for an instant with out dislodging bee, then hit the top of my eight-foot fence and disappeared of toward the mountains.
