Cover those two holes as we'll as the
hole in the top of the shaft with wire
netting so that no bird or small animal
can get in.
This is the shaft by which the air
enters the building. Then build an
other shaft long enough to reach the
floor up through the roof so that II
will come out through the roof foot
or fifteen inches. The top of this smart
must be capped so that the opening
will be protected from rain. The lower
end is to be covered with wire netting.
Fasten this firmly at the roof end and
with corner supports to the floor at
the bottom. The plan is simple, easy
to construct and works splendidly. 1t

Gang Flowing.

Recent improvement in traction en-

difference in the manner of breaking

Notes for the bee Keepers.

Bees should have some pure drink
ing water within easy reach.
1t is claimed that strong colony
of bees is the best preventive against
moths.
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.
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
beck eeper.
Honey is always ready seller ana
the price per pound averages anywhere
from - to 20 cents, depending upon
the locality and quality. good hive
Of bees in the average locality will pro
duce about seventy five pounds of honey
per year and pay 80 per cent on the
investment Of the first season. Get
posted on beekeeping if you seek
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 great
marketable article honey is. In the
wear 1900 the total amount of capital
invested in bees in the United States:
was $1O,1S6,OO0. The returns from the
national honey crop that same year were

R.rre, 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 a stake
through the center of the barrel to hold
firm during storms and I'LL 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 III 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 n very at
tractive and luxuriant appearance, and
producing immense quantities of cucum-
bers. The crop will be greatly in
u eased if the vines are thoroughly
soaked during the dry weather

The bureau of plant industry is do
ing good deal of seed testing this
spring owing to the reports published
in regard to widespread adulteration.
Special attention is given to testing
samples of alfalfa seed for fodder.
Many other seeds come in for careful
examination as to purity but testing
for termination does not receive so
much attention. This is a branch of
seed testing that can be better attend
ed to by the farmer himself and it is
something that every farmer should be
intensely interested in.

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- 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

TREASURES SOLD FOR A SONG.
BY Rev. G. B. F. Hallock. D. D

Text.-'Thus Esau despised his
birthright. Genesis %: "a.
There are some men of so little bust
ness tact that they always get cheated
in a bargain. Men point with scorn
at the famous transaction when Esau
for one morsel of meat sold his birth
right; and yet there are multitudes of
people everywhere who are making far
more shocking and ridiculous bargains.
Now, God wants us all to be happy
we may be sure Of that. But prob
ably no folly is more common than for
people to repeat Esau's mistake by bar
tering their birthright for pleasure
l mean mere frivolous, Improbable,
self-indulgent pleasure; and that. too,
in direct opposition to their better
judgment.
Men barter their birthrights, too, for
fame. Henry Of Navarro made a choice
between the crown of France and his
own soul-between fame and Christ.
He deliberately decided to accept the
kingdom and sacrifice his religion.
" hat w YOU LAlHh vi lIliS DdISdlu
How sadly common 1t is, too, for
men to barter their birthright for gold.
There are men all about us who are
selling their souls for mere pittance
of this worlds goods.
Quite good many years ago our
government decided to redeem all
trade dollars" at their face value,
though they were really worth only
50 cents If on or before the Both
day of September, 1887. you had taken
to the treasury those coins you would
have received in exchange full dol
lar for every one. But you cannot do
that now 1t is too late. The day of
redemption of that coin is past. SO
is there a time for the redemption of
every soul. But let that time pass and
it is gone, and once gone it is gone
forever.
