1t may be safely said that any place
where farming, gardening or fruit rails
ing can be successfully followed Is
adapted to the profitable keeping Of
bees-in a limited way at least, If not
extensively. Many of these localities
will support extensive aplaries. In adj
dltion. to this there are, within the Dor
ders Of the United States thousands of
good locations for the apiarist-forest,
prairie swamps and mountain regions
where agriculture has as yet not gained
a foothold, either because Of remote-
ness from markets or the uninviting
character Of soil or climate.
This pursuit may also be followed
in or near towns, and to a limited ex-
tent in large cities. The ability Of the
bees to range over areas inaccessible
to other farm stock, and to draw their
sustenance from dense forests, when
the timber is Of the right kind, and the
freedom which, because Of their nature,
must be accorded them, to pasture on
whatever natural sources are within
their range of three or four miles, must
be taken into account in estimating the
possibilities Of q locality.
It will be found that very few local
tiles exist in our country where ut
least a few colonies Of bees may not BE-
kept

GENIUS OF WESTINGHOUSE.


Ale Has Contributed Eagerly to
Methods OF characterization.
George Westinghouse has a creative
mind, writes Arthur Warren In Sue

where a trlin runs, or on engine
works, or a dynamo turNS, in which his
name is not llonorcd and familiar. lie
has brought new mcrhNuisms and new
industries into being he has contrib
utrd largely to the progress in modern
methods of transportation and commu-
nicAtlon which have shaped to such an
extent the relations between individuals
and communities, between nation and
nation. The p~OStOfhCe. the telegraph,
the railway and the steamship unite the
most distant regions. Upon thcm mod
trn life is wholly dependent in its so
r!al. industrial and commercial phases.
Stephenson gave us tn" railway Nest

way system a possibility by his invrn-
tons whirE control til" movements OF
trains. Had he done No more than
this his name would still Stand among
the great achievrrs.
George Westinghouse will be 80 years
of age next October; he is built On a
massive scale. tall and as strong as q
blacksmith. lie is alert. f~arsIghted,
quiet. sNnGuine and untiring, with a
constitution strong as nickel-stcel. He
IS a most agreeable man to meet, anu
has a rare faculty for inspiring Others
with his own enthusiasm.
\ remarkable fact in his career is thc
early age at which he became promi
ncnt. At the age Of 30 George Wrestling
house made his first great invention
the air brake. This was the source Of
his fame Il fortune, and since that
time his life has been S intimately as
ISOLATED with the history of engineer

While rape is q food OF undOubtcl
value to farm stock, and particularly
50 for horses, swine and poultry, much
care must be used In feeding it to COWS
and sheep, else it IS apt to make trOu-
Die. If cows AND sheep are allowed to
eat too freely of it under certain con
dltions 1t will cause bloat, particular
ly If the rape is especially succulent
or is damp from ain or dew. The best
way to pasture rape and We consider
this the better plan for any farm ami
NAL, is to turn them on to it after their
appctites have been partially satisfied
with grain or other p~asturage. We es-
p~ecially like the plan of turning the
animals into the rape for only an hour
or two daily. We give them what
grain they have in the morning, then
turn them on to the rape for an hour
and then back into the regular pasture,
where they remain until the middle Of
the afternoon, when they are again
given an hour or less in the rape field.
The rape has its worst effect on sheep.
but in handling them in the manner
suggested there is little or no trouble.

Making Cider

Cidcr-making offers q good oppOrtu-
nifty Of saving the surplus apples from
the home fruit garden, after the best
have been put into the cellar for win
ter use. thus making valuable apples
that otherwise would be thrown away.
A bruise which would render an apple
| unfit for storage does not impair it as
q source Of cider.
The best cider is not made from
sweet apples, or from apples that have
little juice, such as Ben Davis, but
from good, juicy, sour kinds, such as
Northern Spy, Baldwin and the like.
1t IS often advisable to mix a few sweet
apples in with the sour ones to soften
the taste of the cider, but this is a mat
ter Of taste.
If good specimens Of the Northern
| Spy are used, the cider will prove an
expensive luxury. Therefore, any IN
dersized apples and any that become
bruised in handling may be used.
For the man who intends making
only a small a.Yount of cider each year
enough for consumption in his own
household durins4he winter-a mill
WORRIED by hand and pressing the po-
mace of only two or three bushels OF
apples IS the most practical. A mill of
this sort VIII cost anywhere from $40
up, according to the size.
