The Ree,a TroWel

It is not generally known that the
bees sting is a trowel, not rapier.
1t Is an exquisitely delicate litGS
trowel with which the bee finishes off
the honey cell, injects little preserva-
tive inside and seals It up. With its
trowel-like sting the bee puts the final
touches on the dainty and wonderful
work. With the sting it pats and
shapes the honey cell as a mason pats
and shapes a row of bricks. Before
sealing up the cell it drops a little bit
of poison into the honey. This is
formic acid Without it the honey
would spoil. Most Of us think the bees
sting, with its poison, is weapon only
It is a weapon, secondarily, but pri-
marily it is a magic troweI, a trowel
from whose end, as the honey cells are
built up, wonderful preserving fluid
drips.

Growing Protein Feed.

Protein foods, so essential in feed
ing live stock, can be grown far more
cheaply than they cost in the market.
On this subject Wallace's Farmer
says:
The experience of the last thirty
years has shown that a balanced ra-
ton can be grown on the farm without
the purchase Of any feeds containing
protein, as, for example, bran, oil
meal or cotton seed meal. 1t has
shown that forty pounds of silage and
eighteen pounds Of good clover hay
will make a fairly we'll balanced ra-
ton for an ordinary COW; in other
words, that a ton of silage will furnish
half the ration Of an average COW for
fifty days; and that an acre of good
corn that will yield fifty bushels to the
acre will furnish from eight to twelve
tons of silage.
The farmer who has corn Of this
character and clover, or clover and
timothy, or alfalfa meadow that will
yield from two to three tons of hay
per annum can easily figure on the
number of COWS he can keep on a def
mite number of acres during the win
ter season. The number Of acres OF
pasture that will be required will de-
pend upon the character of the pasture
and the season; but usually on the
care he takes of his pasture.
Every dairyman who is keeping
from ten to twenty cows should,
therefore, begin to study the silo ques-
ton very thoroughly. This is one Of
the topics that should be discussed
not merely at Institutes, but at the
firesides IN every dairying community.
The great obstacle in the way of the
individual farmer using the silo is not
the cost of building it, which, consid-
ering its capacity, is not as great as
the cost of a barn would be. 1t is
rather in the cost of machinery neces-
sary TO convert the corn into silage,
and Of the help needed at that partic-
ular time. Here is where cooperation
| comes in.

FAKE CORPORATIONS.

Maine the Easieat State In the Union
In Which to Launch Them.
Do you want company TO supply

form a company to raise bananas IN
Alaska? Do you desire concern to

fihe your papers. You can form a cor
poration with a capital limit only ex-
ceeded by the skyline, and it Won't cos.
you enough TO set you back very ms
terially either
For years Maine has bet the mecca
of these who wished to foist companies
on the unsuspecting public. The fees
for granting a charter are merely nom
inai. The taxes are still more so,
something like an annual franchise
tax Of SIS on $4,000 capitalization. Al
me, no questions are asked, and 1t is
as easy for a company with any OBJ
feet whatever, and Il few dollars to
nav the necessary fees and printing.

tcn-to DO sure, the more capital you
have the more tax you are supposed TO
pay, but after you have disposed OF
your shares you probably won't pay
your tax anyway, and VIII let the char
ter of the company expire. It's only
another Of the get-rich-quick schemes
Recently list of delinquent cerper-
atoms was published IN one OF the Ban
gor papers, corporations whose char
tiers were to expire on account Of I'M
paid taxes 1t filed nearly two pages
set in nonpareil type, with close spac-
ing at that And all OF these were to
lose their charters because their taxes,
amounting In most cases to less than
$50, had been unpaid But hundreds

LOST BOY COMES HOME.
Marinette Lad Carried Past Station
spends Three DAYS Wandering.


For three days Charles Wilson, the
13-year-old son of Peter Wilson, Mari
nette contractor, was missing. Officials
all over northern Wisconsin were look
ing for him. The lad turned up the other
night. While returning from Green Bay
he was carried past Marinette while
asleep on a Northwestern train and got
off at Quinnesec, Mich. Knowing no one
there, it was three days before he could
get any one interested in his case. The
agent of the Northwestern finally put him
on the train and sent him home. The lad
had only % cents in his pocket when he
left home, and he had begged his meals
and slept in sheds and barns.

koneEness of q Great City.

II you live in a large city you are
lost You are swallowed up by the
ocean of people around You. You go
down into the deep and that's the last
Of you, except perhaps an occasional
bubble that may come to the surface
near where you were last seen. There
are so many people you can't escape
drowning. You can't make friendships
rs you do In smaller place, where the
Individual isn't entirely effaced by the
mass. Society Is not what it is in the
smaller place, where the human ele-
ment enters ia altogether. In the larg-
er place your comings and goings are
not noted by your friends even, and
never by the newspapers unless you are
one Of the high fnanciers or packing
house bunch. The births and weddings
In your family are of no more interest
outside of your own fat than are the
wreaths Of smoke curling up into the
empyrean; no merry crowd of interest
ed neighbors with their warm congratu-
lations. The deaths bring little sympa-
thy from the runbling, rafting world
outside; no sorrowing acquaintances
who have stood by you through the long
sickness; there Is little or none of that
evidence of loving kindness that comes
from neighbors and real friends in a
small city or town, where the dollar
mark Is not written 50 large and 50
indeNbly on everything. 1t Is a para
doxical law that where there are 50
many people there are fewer friends,

LINEN MILL CLOSES DOWN.
Albany Concern Cannot Obtain Raw
Material.

The Black Hawk Mills Company, which
has operated a linen mill at Albany for
the last four years, has been compelled to
close down for want of raw material.
The company operated mill at st. Paul.
where the linen yarn was spun, and this
plant recently burned down, together with
all machinery, cutting off the supply of
yarn for the Albany plant. There has
been considerable talk in Albany of Civ
ing the company financial assistance. The
company asks that the city buy and pre-
sent them with the real estate now occu-
pied by the plant, which would cost the
city something like $4,000. The plant,
if it starts again, will employ about 100
people.

The ministers union, organized only
few. weeks ago and soon after affiliated
with the trades and labor assembly, the
supreme labor body of La Crosse, has
been officially cast out by that body and
refused permission to march in the Labor
day parade. This action was the result
of complaints by the brewery workers,
who claimed that the recent agitation
against the saloons had resulted in an in
jury to the Brewery Workers Union. The
city labor body took up the complaints
and after a hearing decided that the cru
SADIE by the religious workers was to the
harm of their fellow unionists and the.
