factor.
In a democracy stability depends upon the reign Of reason, and ii is
the fact that We are a common people that gives us assurance for the
future. Reason demands the facts. by the requirement of publicity is
not meant scrappy snsatonalism or distorted emphasis 1t is the de-
mand that public affairs, and business which is of a public nature because
Of its relation to the public interest. shall be conducted in the light of
day and that the public shall have the truth, the whoIe" truth and nothing
but the truth in regard to the matters that concern them.
Democracy has constantly to struggle against three abuses. The first
is the abuse Of the freedom allowed for individual effort. This is Illus
tratei by concerted attempts on the part of those who find themselves in a
strong position to put others al a disadvantage by unfair means. 1t is the
business of free government, desiring so far as possible to give each indi-
vdual a fair chance, to put a stop to improper practices designed to re-
strict the area Of opportunity.
Then there is the abuse Of privileges received from the government
itself-the misuse Of public franchises granted upon condition that they
shall be used to benefit the public It'll the business Of a free government
to secure the just use Of such franchises for the public benefit.
There il also the abuse of the system Of government itself by prosti
tuing representative powers to selfish advantage.
To guard against these abuses and put an end to them where they
exist the people must be constantly alert.

TABLE No. 2.
Average Weight Of EGGS.

Table No, 2 shows that the eggs
from the colony house fowls were
about ten per cent. heavier than those
from the other fowls. There was
practically no difference in weight Of
eggs from the different sections of the
main house. Eleven eggs from the
colony house weighed as much as a
dozen from the other pens.
The egg records extend from De.
cember ], 1906, to June 20, 1907. The
average yield per fowl was as follows:

CARE IN EQUIPMENT.
Smoker, Veil and Gloves Should De
Ready for Handling Of Bees.

While; one might sometimes tear a
hive to pieces without angering bees,
nevertheless it would bs unwise to un-
dertake to do so without being pre-
pared for other results. Not only
should the smoker be lit and handy,
but the apiarist himself should be
equipped with some kind of an effec-
tive veil. so that in case they should
become vengeful he will be able to-
give them hisaundivided attention As
to whether or not gloves should be
worn depends upon the inclination Of
the man and upon his ability to en-
dure the pain from the stings. Some
men find it necessary to wear them al
ways, while others manage better
without them. If good fitting and Of
soft material they should. not be bun.
giesome nor clumsy to work in. But
stiff, thick glove with open top would
invariably be worse than none. For
women, gloves are, Of course, a neces-
sity since their hands are naturally
softer and more tender than are those
of men efk44 &4f..s
When colony is to be examined let
the apiarist, suitably prepared, and
armed with smoker, approach the
hive directly yet quietly. and admins
ter a few puts Of smoke at the en-.
trance. This will frighten the bees
and cause them to Ill themselves with
honey, after which they will be less
inclined to sting. In about q minute the
cover should be gently raised and .
few more puts blown In over the
combs. After this tho intended work
may. be proceeded with at once, using
from time to time just what smuke is
necessary to control the hoes In
many instances, there will be no fur
ther occasion TO use 1t at all, but in
case they SHOW signs Of anger IT is
better to administer enough to cause
them to rush hack into the ifve xyatn;-
and when it must be- done the quick
or better. But the object should be
to control, not punish, therefore no
more should ever b used than the
occasion demands In this, as in all
other things, enc should be guided by
humane principles, and forbear to
persecute.
