Bee Hive as an Incnhator-

Bee Hive as an Incubator.
A farmer in Ohio is reported to have
successfully practiced Matching chickens
by the heat given off by a swarm of
bees. In response to inquiry. the fol-
lowing reply was received: lean hatch
over bees every egg that is fertile. First
you need an oat chat hive Then stretch
q piece of cheescloth above the bees and
Jay the eggs on it. Put a cushion on it's
side and top around the eggs. If any
have doubt about the temperature being
right for Matching eggs, they can test ii
for themselves if they have swarm Of
bees handy. "-Massachusetts Plough

in the neighboring city. The cows pur-
chased. the next step was to build an
ice house and get q cabinet creamer.
This outfit worked fairly well, but the
ice crop was uncertain, and the dis

there were no cream separators In this

My power at this time was supplied

had SO lately been experiencing, says

One morning on attempting to start
the machine it absolutely refused to

and the good-natured inventor accom-

platinum exploding points had simply
gummed over, thereby preventing their
sparkling. Again all was smooth sail

of points my engine for awhile worked
very nicely. But one Of these occasional
cleanings, after it had refused to work.
found the head had drawn out the
platinum points so that instead of a
spark being made as the electricity
jumped across the short interval be-
tween them, they touched one another.
The current passed without sparkling
and no explosion took place. A knife
blade passed between the points sep
arated them and thus remedied the diff
aculty and was again doing business.
1t was evident that had been prop

When His Lerdship Unhesomed Ii,
Butler Thought Himself
Well on.

A good story deals with Q learned
Judge called Littledale, who was very
much under the thumb Of his wife. Lit
tledale had butler who had been in
the family many years, and with whom
he would. not have parted on any &C.
count; he would sooner have parted
with her ladyship, relates London Tit
Bits One morning this excellent butler
came to Sir Joseph Littledale and said,
with tears in his eyes:

What's the matter, james,"
I'm very sorry, my lord" said the
butler, "but wish to leave.'

do you wish to leave for? Haven't you
got good situation?"
Capital situation, Sir Joseph; and
you have always been a good, kind
master to me. Sir Joseph. But, oh, Sir
Joseph! Sir Joseph!'
What then. James. what then? Why
do you wish to leave? Not going to get
married, eh-not surely going to get
married? Oh, James, don't do it!'
Heaven forbid. Sir Joseph!"
"Eh. Ell? Well, then, what is It!
Speak out, James, and tell me all about
1t. Tell me-tell me as friend! II

The consolation was enough. and

great many grumbling invalids, says a
home journal, there are also Just as
many invalids who appreciate what is
already being done for them and hest
tate to ask further favors. The nurse
who is ever ready to find out through

Of place in the sick-room. To be the
right kind Of nurse you must honestly
want to be Of help.
It has been said that good nurse is
born, not made. and certainly it does
seem as II some people have q natural
gift in this direction. They are many
admirable women-sometimes they are
even doctors-who make abominable
nurses. They understand all the in
tricacies of the disease in question, and
give the best treatment and medicine
for the case, but they completely lack
all the gentleness. tact and sympathy
that soothe and help sick person.
Though their intentions are excellent,
they do what they know is best for you
as ii it were disagreeable duty and you

Within the bounds of China township,

urally attracted great dealo of attention.

Dodder seeds placed in the soil ger
inmate, 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

spicuous yellow shoot. This binds to

frightening meanwhile, until it strikes

it can live is within reach, the dodder
Seeding dies as soon as it has exhausted
the. nutriment stored up in the seed. But
If the swinging shoot comes against a
congenial host, it twines about it, in
some places tightly 10 others loosely. .s..
One Of thesmost practical methods I'd
complete disqualification ofdodder 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 if
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 considerable de-
gree of heat maintained for several min
utes. This is secured by covering the
infested area with light wood or chips
we'll sprinkled with kerosene. Straw or
shavings do not produce heat enough
close to the ground.
Dolder has been killed in some in
stances by smothering 1t. with thick
covering of manure, muck, or ashes, but
these methods cannot be recommended.
A thick sprinkling of wood ashes. when
the 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 field
are infested.
One Of the best methods for subduing
dodder after it has become widely dis
tributed, says Orange Judd Farmer, is
to turn sheep on the land, combining them
with portable fence if necessary, so
that they will keep the infested areas
closely grazed. While pastured in dod-
der-infested fields. the sheep should not
be moved about the farm any more than
is necessary. as they are likely to carry
dodder seeds and pieces OF the vine in
the clefts OF their hoofs and in their wool.
Dodder can usually be eradicated b.
thorough cultivation with corn or root
crops for two successive seasons. For
the destruction of alfalfa dodder ant
clover dodder, any crops may be cult
waited except those of leguminous plants;
but, as warty dodder and field dodder
grow and thrive almost equally we'll on
q great variety OF host plants, only sucn
crops can be grown for their eradica-
ton as will admit of clean cultivation.

Ii is stated upon good authority that
at present not 10 per cent OF the mail

which is expected to remedy this con q.
dition provides that all bidders for
contracts to carry mail must live con-
tiguous to the routes upon which bids
are made and If awarded the contract
must carry the mail themselves or
give 1t their direct supervision.

Department awarded contracts for

der. without regard to his place Of
residence, and permitted him to sublet
them II he so desired. As result,
professional mail contractors sprang
up, living mostly in Kentucky and
Missouri. These men bid upon con.
tracts, not only in their own states,
but also in the West. Not knowing
anything of western conditions, they
often took contracts at figure that
would not permit the routes to be
operated with profit. The routes
were always sublet to anyone who
would take them, and as the pay was
extremely low, poor service resulted.

In the forthcoming contest these
men will again IN aud will try TO
lower their former record which has
stood now almost three years with
