Kansas City the other day, will never

comes with the animals in his herd.

one was lowing by the sound, just as
you recognize the voice of a friend be

often neighbors put their cattle in my

A Big Libel Action.

The criticisms against so-called patent
medicines which have appeared IN some
eastern magazines are not being allowed
TO pass unchallenged by the manufactur-
ers, as is shown by several recent law
suits. Now the proprietors of DR.. VII
liams' Pink Pills have brought an action
against the publishers Of Golfers Week
ly for malicious libel in the publication
of alleged false and defamatory state
ments regarding their remedy. There are
perhaps, some unscrupulous people IN the
proprietary medicine business as there are
in every other business or profession, but
an unreasoning attack which includes
standard household remedies, whose value
has been universally recognized for gen
Grafton or more, can only result IN plac-
ing the crusaders themselves on the de-
fensjye.

Notes for the Bee Keepers.

Bees should have some pure drink.

Bees, like men, are good-natured
when they are making Roadway in pro-
viding for the future This accounts
for the different receptions given to
an intruder at different times.
Reekeeping is an interesting scientific
study aside from the pecuniary profit.
There is 10 more entrdncing pursuit
when one becomes really interested in
il. aside from its financial side.
BeehiveS are now so constructed that
they may be opened and their contents
removed or changed about and exam
ined without materially interfering
with the action Of the bees. They fire.
quently continue their labors even when
the comb is held in the hand Of the
beekeeper.
Honey is always q ready seller and
the price per pound averages anywhere
from u to 20 cents, depending upon
the locality and quality. A good hive
of bees in the average locality will pro-
duce about seventy-fve pounds of honey
per year and pay 90 per cent on the
investment of the first season. Get
posted on beekeeping if you seek a
pleasant and profitable occupation.
Any one who doubts that there is
money in beekeeping need only look
up statistics on the honey crop of the
United States to find out what a great
marketable article honey is. In the
year 1900 the total amount of capital
invested in bees in the United States
was SO, 1S6 900. The returns from the
national honey crop that same year were
$500, 600, a dividend of So per cent
on the amount invested. What other
crop pays this rate Of interest?

Ventilation of Farm Buildings.
There are no small buildings on the
farm that cannot be amply ventilated
by the simple plan here described
Generally such buildings are of the
single or sloping-roof sort so that the
plan can be carried out at small eX-
pense. In the rear of the house, near
one corner, build an air shaft, made
by joining at the edges four boards
about eight inches wide. Set this into
the ground or fasten to the floor II OF
boards SO that 1t will be firm. Have 1t
open at the top, of course, and make
it three or four feet high. In the side
of 1t, next to the wall of the building
and about q foot up from the floor cut
out a piece so as to have an opening

A small piece Of candle may be made

Do not let tea and coffee remain In

A Barrel Cucumber Garden.

An interesting form of backyard
gardening is raising cucumbers in bar
rels An old sugar barrel without
heads will answer. Get several OF them
and saw them in two, setting the
halves according to the space available,
about twelve feet apart. Drive stake
through the center of the barrel to hold
firm during storms and fill the half
barrel with manure. Plant four hills
of cucumbers around the inside of each
barrel and make a kind of trellis in
the shape of the letter II out Of laths,
one trellis for each hill, one end to rest
on the top Of the barrel. The vines
may be readily made to run over the
barrels and trellis, making a very at
tractive and luxuriant appearance, and
producing immense quantities of cucum-
bers. The crop will be greatly in
creased if the vines are thoroughly
soaked during the dry weather.
