SETTING HEN AND BROOD.

Managing setting hens is not So
hard as some people think. The most
practical points are to have a good
hen. Don't set a wild hen. After
having selected the hen, then comes
the nest box. A very good method is
to use small store box about the
right size and place about one inch OF
earth in the bottom, then put in the
fine straw. This makes good nest.
My reason for using earth, says a
writer in Orange Judd Farmer, is
that it holds the moisture and helps
keep lice away.
After having the nest ready place
IS eggs in it if the hen is medium
size and Is if large. Fasten the hen
on so other hens will not disturb her.
Let her off every morning on the
ground if possible. If this can't be
done, by all means give her some
dust to scratch in. For feed, give
her corn and plenty of grit. About
the 21st day you will find a nest full
of lively chicks if the eggs were fer.
tile and proper care has been given
the hen. When the chicks are dry,
place hen and chicks in q dry coop
and feed them often.

we are in the presence Of the dead
But not all the associations of this
day are sad; some of them are tri.
umphant, even joyful.
We seem to hear the funeral march
become a pean. Our heroic dead still
live for us, and bid us think of life,
not death-of life to which in their
youth they lent the passion and glory
of the spring.
Memorial day may and ought to
have a meaning beyond mere honor to
the dead 1t celebrates and ssolemnly
re-afflrms from year to year national
act of enthusiasm and faith. It en-
bodies in the most impressive form
our belief that to act with enthusiasm
and faith is the condition of acting
greatly.
Peace calls for it's patriotic devo
ton, no less than war. And, stripped
of the direct associations which gave
rise to it, this is day when by com
mon consent we pause to become con
scious of our national honor and to re-
joice in it, to recall what our country
has done and is doing for us, and to
ask ourselves what we can do for our
country in return.

Whisky Proved Potent to Make Con.

The Kansas regiment of "Jayhawk-

HOW MANY .FRAMEsi
Many Conditions to Be Considered IN
Determining the Question.

A correspondent asks what size
bee hives are best, eight or ten frame.
This gives me an opportunity to dis
cuss hives, subject that is very old,
yet recurring again and again in the
minds of beginners, writes Eugene Se-
cor. 1t is q question that cannot be
answered in a word. Locality, man.
agement and the kind of honey pro-
duced all have a bearing on the an
swer. If one winters his bees out
doors larger hive is desirable than
ii he carries them into a cellar in
the fall and out again in the spring,
because bees consume more food out
doors than in cellar where the tenn
perature is kept at uniform degree
and just right.
Ample stores are always desirable,
and with large hive there is pretty
sure to be more honey stored in the
brood chamber, and consequently the
bees are more certain to have enough
And when one is working for ex-
tracted honey exclusively the large
size of brood chamber isn't so objec-
tionable, because one can empty the
outside frames if necessary, but if
one winters indoors and is compelled
to carry those large ten-frame hives
In and out in his arms, alone, it is
no easy job. Another thing, if one is
working for comb honey, a brooder
chamber may be so large that the
bees will put a great deal of the best
honey where the manager does not
want it.
Therefore, for comb honey and
cellar wintering l prefer an eight
frame hive. If the climate is mild
enough to winter the bees on their
summer stands with or without pack
ing, and if extracted honey is wanted
there would be no objection to a
larger hive. The eight-frame Lang
stroth hive is probably used by more
bee-keepers than any other style.

CAPTAIN HOBSON TO TRY
NEW POLITICAL SCHEME

WASHINGTON Capt Richmond
w Pearson Hobson, of Merrimac
fame, is going to play some practical
politics for a change. The former
naval officer and advance agent of a
billion-dollar navy is thought by many
to have become a rather astute poll
tician. His latest is the develop
ment of a scheme that promises to
make no end of trouble for the scien-
titic departments of the government.
The captain has borrowed from the
agricultural department an expert on
road building, one on soils, one on
cotton growing and one on forestry.
From the post Office department he
has obtained the loan of a rural free
delivery expert
With this menagc and accompanied
by his wife, the captain is going to
make months tour of his Alabama
district. There will be careful
booking of the aggregation and where
people wish it's advice they will get
lectures and practical demonstrations

The thousands of ex-union officers
and soldiers who have died during the
80 years since the first Decoration
day, and the hundreds that have fall
en- since the Spanish-American war,
and whose bodies have been borne
across the sea to be buried in Airing
ton, have made this the largest city of
patriotic dead on the globe. This 30th
of May, like all others, will see every
low green mound of the extensive field
covered with flowers and immortelles.
There will be a repetition of the an
nual ceremonies, with probably addi-
tional interesting features.
The patriotic organizations, sons and
daughters of veterans, and the loyal
people have taken up the work
which older hands have had to ;ay
down. The spirit of gratitude and de-
votion to the memory of the country's
defenders inspires the whole nation
today as it did in 1868.

The Mortgage Litter.

Some successful hog raisers like to
speak of the hog as mortgage litter,
and doubtless he is that in many
cases. The great fecundity of the hog
and the fact that his meat always
brings a big price makes him an cas-,
animal to figure on to help lift the
debt that has been placed on the farm.
The study of the hog and his needs
will increase his Importance as mort.

we can learn how to keep the cholera
away and learn how to furnish cheap
food, rich in muscle-building elements,
we, will reduce in number the mort.
