ALLEE AND PENNEWILL
LEADING CANDIDATES

was full OF good humor and joking, and
the petiring senator seemed in high glee.
The outcome Of their talks was that
neither would permit his friends to dead
lock the legislative body. though in the
event that two of them in running receive
an equal number Of votes it may be
deemed wise to carry IL over in the Legis-

ring sides opportunity to think it over.

Trespassfng.

Inventive genius seldom achieves sue
cess at the first attempt. A half
grown boy in Pennsylvania, who had
devoted his leisure hours for many
months to the making of a milking
machine of his own devising, at last
completed 1t to his satisfaction, and re-
solved TO make a trial of it. Without
saying a word to any one, he carried
his machine down from the attic, where
he had wrought patiently day after
day to bring it to perfection, and took
it out to the barn-yard, where old Cher
~. the family COW, stood placidly
chewing her cud, with her big, lusty
calf playing round her.
A few minutes later his mother saw
him trying TO re-ente- the house I'M
seen. He was covered with dirt from
head TO foot, and in state Of demora-
lIzation generally. In his hand he was
carrying something that looked like
the wreck OF toy battleship.

] honor you, my dear old friend,
For valued favors, without end.
Through sunny days and stormy weather.
We've wandered, arm in arm, together
IN times of drought and times of wet
Since the glad hour when first we met
Your faded garments-old and worn
Give evidence Of hardships borne.
Your strength has been severely taxed;
You're all unstrung, unnerved relaxed;
You've now become 80 old and thin,
You show the ribs beneath your skin,
You're worse. of late, whene'er it rains
I'm sure you feel rheumatic pains.
Your joints are stiff your members shake
And tremble, at each move you make.
Your powers are surely on the wane;
An ordinary hurricane
Or slight touch of a cyclone
Would scatter each remaining bone!
You're warped and tattered. | declare,
And looking much the worse for wear:
Your coat shows countless holes aud
scars,
AS if you'd passed through many wars,
Farewell Your life has been too hard
You have my sympathies, old pard
Forget your ugly gaps and seams,
And lay you down to pleasant dreams,
Peace to your bones! May no rude pest
Encroach upon your place of rest
No scorching sun disturb your shade,
No drenching storm your peace invade.

BEES THRIVE IN WASHINGTON.
Busy Little Insects Bring in Goodly
Revenue Each Year.

Busy Little Insects Bring In GOodly
Revenue Each Year.
Charles w. Sager, the bee king of
central Washington, has succeeded in
making a record in his apiary that will
attract the attention Of all those inter.
ested in honey-making, says the Seattle
Times. At his ranch near Belma, Sa-
ger has upward of 100000 bees
Speaking of his experience in bee cul-
ture in this locality recently, he had the
following to say:
when / came to this country four
years ago the few people here who had
bees told me two supers to a colony
would be all any would gather. That
year 1 lost much because 1 was not
prepared with supers and the bees had
no room to store what they could gath
er. In 1905 l had ninety colonies in
the spring. During the season they
produced $3.50 pounds of honey, $50
pounds extracted honey and 6,600
pounds comb honey, an average of nine
ty and half pounds to the colony.
THE best colony produced 19e
pounds. The lowest gathered fifty-six
pounds. In 1906 they did somewhat
better. l began the season with eighty
six colonies. from which l took S,S6S
pounds, or 103 pounds to the colony
The gathering this year will be only
about half crop. This condition, how
ever, seems to be general.
IN a good year the bees can gather
honey quickly and consequently it is
very clear. Comb honey usually whole
sales for 1917 cents a pound, and the
extracted product for 8 1-3 cents At
this price the colony making 1876 pounds
would produce $24.50 worth of honey.
The principal advantage of extract
ing the honey Is that It leaves the comb
ready for the bees to refill, thus saw
ing the time required to build new
combs. Also the freight on extracted
honey Is only about half what it is on
that bees will produce one and half
pounds of extracted honey to one CT
comb honey. Alfalfa makes the clear
est and very best honey. Each variety
of bloom makes a different colored and
favored honey.
This country is much better than
the average for honey because Of the
great quantity of alfalfa raised. How
ever, the ranchers are cutting their
grass so soon after the bloom arrives
that the bees do not have the opportun-
ity they could if 1t were left standing
few weeks longer.
During the working season the aver
age life of working bee is forty-two
days. Sixty-three days from the egg to
the grave. A good queen win lay from
1000 to 5000 eggs in day. l like to
have about 10000 bees to the colony

some singly and some In crowds, and
they wouldn't leave us till we gave
them money, and the more we gave
money the more came, and we couldn't
get clear of them. And Terence got so
angry, because whenever he tried to

after all. He looked awfully pleased
at that. so we hailed one of those car

our way through all the drivers we
hadn't hailed we climbed in and drove
off in peace.
Terence heaved a great sigh of re-
lief, and l sat quite silent, so as not
to put him of by any ill-advised re
mark, and in a few minutes he pulled
himself together, and took hold of my
hand (I had left it lying near him in
case he wanted it,, and he began:

Well of course, Terence took his
hand away very quickly, and pretend
ed he had been pulling up the cover,
and got very red; and I smiled sweet
ly and thanked the driver.
But that stupid Italian had no tact !;
he just let his horse drive itself, and
sat sideways, looking at us and telling
us stupid stories about the places we
passed. OF course, 1t wasn't for me to
tell him to look the other way and
not interrupt us, and Terence just sat
still, muttering sort of Greek words to
himself. However, we were nearly
home, and l felt something must be
done, and l saw | should have to do

us If they found out that we had driv-
en- home. after all. and that as we
were near the hotel we had better get
out and walk the rest of the way.
Terence frightened up wonderfully
at that. and we stopped the carriage

The English walnut.

Trees of the English walnut are
now a fairly common sight in Western
New York 1t Is estimated that sew
eral hundred trees are alive and thrifty
in that section, and 1t is claimed that
this variety of walnut is really about
as hardy as the peach.
A. C. Pomeroy, of Lockport, y. Y,
writes that while last year he lost over
100 peach trees from winter killing,
only one English walnut was killed, al
though the peach trees We're in the
walnut orchard. Mr.. Pomeroy sends a
photograph of one of the Oldest English
walnut trees ON his farm. The tree, as
shown in the illustration, was twenty
two years old, but the photograph was
taken eight years ago.
The tree is still as vigorous and pro-
ductive do ever in the thirteenth year,
and has been producing every year for
many years. This spring the tree was
we'll filed with nuts, but the weather
being 50 unusually cold and wet, most
of the nuts dropped. Professor Van
deman has named this variety the Nor
man Pomeroy In honor of Mr. Pome-
roy's father, who first propagated this
variety in New York state.

Giving Calves Good Care.

If allowed to run down in condition
during the falk Flies and heat, in
company with short pasture, have
laid the foundation for more than one
runty yearling.
Give the calves ample cover, dry
sheltered place to sleep when cold or
stormy and smple fresh pasture or
little grain as shorter days come on.
When winter finally sets In see to 1t,
whatever neglect the older stock have
to take, that the calves are kept thrifty
and loose skinned until well started
into the winter, and then keep them
thriving. 1t costs very little to do this,
and 1t costs a great deal to make pre-
sentable yearlings of thels e neglected
first winters
