HOW THE LITTLE BEE PAYS.

Considering the amount invested
and the time required to handle them
money bees are the most profitable
things on our little forty acre farm.
Forty acres farm? How small!"
some farmers will say. The acres are
few, but owing to the quality Of the
SOIL and the crops raised, this little
farm gives steady employment to two
men and summer work for two and
sometimes three more, aside from the
manager.
In raising bees I use one and one
half story dovetailed hives with Hoff-
mans self-spacing frames. The brood
frames are wired and flied with brood
comb foundation. This iusures a per-
fectly formed comb and is great
saver OF time in getting colony in
shape for honey flow.
In the upper or top story use one
pound sections. plain. with fence sep
arations, and foundation starter nearly
nearly the full size Of section. These
hives have double covers and REVERSE
BILE bottomboards by which the size
OF the entrance to the hive may be reg
ulated.
The hives cost complete, ready for
colony, about So each and will last
ten or more years If kept we'll painted.
l have some I have used that long and
they promise good for as many more.
MY bees are on the southeast side of
a tall board fence which serves as q
windbreak.
The entrance to the hives faces the
southeast, very important point in
bee keeping, as it gets the little fellows
out to work early before the sun eyap-
crates the nectar from the flowers.
use bee veil and a Clark,s cold
blast smoker. A little squirt Of smoke
will aggravate the bees so I ALWAYS
tap gently on the side of the hive an
pun IN q little amount of smoke at
the entrance, then as I carefully raise
the top puff in more smoke. One
has to be governed by the degree OF
anger Of the bees as to the amount Of
smoke to use.
My bees net me on an average IS per
stand each season, some as high ae
$1,000 in good season.
AT present have twenty-four colon
les, but would advise anyone starting
in the business of bee keeping to BEGIN
with few colonies of pure Italian or
hybrids and study up on the business.
After some experience one cannot help
but succeed If careful and gentle,-J.

A large supply of organic matter
should be maintained, if possible, by
growing legumes and cover crops. In
fact, a soil that is liable to wash badly
should never pass through the winter
without cover crop.
The roots will hold the soil par
ticles together, and the top will pre-
vent rapid surface currents from
forming.

THE DEADLY POTATO BLIGHT.

This is a fungus disease, which
causes growers immense loss every
year. The experiment stations have
worked hard to find means Of con-
trolling it and their experiments show
that the effects of the disease, particu-
larly in early blight as shown In the
first picture. may be greatly reduced
by two or three sprayings with Bor-
deaux mixture. This treatment also
works well with the late blight, as
shown in the second picture, and If
faithfully adhered to will in most
cases save the crop.

For Summer Colds.

It is the easiest thing in the world to catch cold during the last days of summer, Some often do imprudent things and next find that they are in the possession of one of the most diff ficult of colds to be rid of--the sum- mer cold.
 As rule, the simplest remedies for a cold are the surest. There is mo- thing for carrying off the congestion like hot bath, hot drink and a good sweat Do this at night On arising in the morning rub the body vigorously with alcohol and Turkish towel before venturing forth.
 If it is a tight cold in the head rub the bridge of the nose thoroughly with vaseline at night This simple remedy sometimes works like a charm.
 Another effective method is to snuff up warm salt water.
 It is of the utmost importance dur ing cold to keep the system from be- coming clogged The old senseless maxim, Feed 8 cold and starve a fever" is responsible for many bad compilations. The proper method is to eat lightly, or, if possible, to diet or fast for a day.

BIRDS IN THE EVERGLADES
WILD FOWL ARE FAMED
Adventures of the Hunter Armed With Camera
 and Note Book.

A. w. Dimock writes in Harper's of a recent visit to one of the islands of the Everglades, where he went to study the many kinds of wild birds living there. No guns were fired, and the birds, seeing that no harm was in- tended, soon became tame,
 Day after day we padded our canoe in the little sloughs around and through the rookery, and each day the birds grew tanner. The camera man waded and climbed trees, cut poles and made long legs for his camera, until he got the views he wanted of eggs and young birds, while the mother birds fused around him and scolded at first, but sometimes came back to their nests before the work was finished. Nature worked daily miracles through these young birds.
 One day they were egg shaped pouches of parchment, stuffed by their parents with humps of dead fish, and in few hours, by processes so rapid as to be almost visible, they had convert cd the offensive mass into living flesh and feathers, and in few days evolv- ed form and beauty from chaos of corruption. When the camera man wanted young birds that had graduated from their nests, they had to be chased through the swamp and follow ed up the trees, and our hunter boy went up the later like squirrel and sloshed through mud and water like an otter, sometimes for a long dis tance, but he always brought back his bird, even if he had to cross deep sloughs to get him. He taught the birds he caught to pose by betting them and putting them on the branches chosen by the camera man, and when they scrambled away by catching them again, scolding them, strokng them,
 'The system never failed at the time, but when afterward we padded among the nests, certain vociferous young birds scrambled in haste from their hcmes to the tops of the tallest trees, end curlew matrons croaked from their nests, Johnny can't pose to-day: he isn't feeling we'll Birds too young to get away were very friendly, and from many nests our approach was hailed with cries of welcome, and mouths opened wide for the fish and frogs that often went with us
 Mother birds, too, grew unfearfuI, and as we fed their babies, looked on with complacency if not gratitude One snakebird, or water-turkey, which on our first call dropped from her nest into the water in the clumsy fashion of her species, on our later visits merely stepped aside and viewed with approval our performance of her duty.
 Her two youngsters used to stand on the extreme edge of the nest, with wide-opened bills extended for the deli cacies we brought them, until one of them fell into the water, and when we tried to rescue him, gave fllll-grown exhibition of the aquatic skill which was his inheritance That night he dis appeared, and we thought we knew the hawk that got him, but couldn't afford to destroy with gun the confidence of our feathered cronies, even to avenge one of them"

awkwardness of cashing large checks Every day clubs made up of men rich and poor usually fix the amount for which a check will be cashed as low as $25, and some put it even lower. Few clubs put 1t higher than $1O0 though in rar einstances club clerks consent to cash checks high up in the hum dreds
 Many of the changes in the policy of the clubs touching credits come of a really new conception of club life that has grown up with the modern development of New York. The older and more exclusive clubs are still in theory and practice social organiza- tions; the newer clubs are often mere aggregations of men drawn together for their own convenience in the mat ter of eating and drinking, for busi- ness purposes, or to further some common political end. Such clubs are not places of intimate association and they tend to assume toward their members a purely business relation. New York Sun.

 Why is 1t" said the man who likes to propounds questions, '1that thoughts of certain persons, either liv- ing or dear. come to the mind with such vividness at times only to disap- pear perhaps for months, or years maybe, then to return in all their freshness 2, Psychologists tell us that such things are explainable by tele- pathic influences; but inasmuch as telepapby in pretty vague sort of sci- ence at present that answer doesn't give very much satisfaction. Of course the easiest explanation is along the law of association, that is, that something starts the subconscious memory to working, and the first thing we know the conscious mind is recording the impression.
 The agent in starting the train of thought is, more often than not, the subtlest kind of influence; the scent of flower, strain of music, the way the sunlight falls across the leaves or on the water. There is a little some- thing in the brain associated with 8 personality that responds to this message transmitted through the sens es, and beholdl the face of man or woman of whom one may not have thought for long time suddenly is summoned up as if conjured from the unknown.

SIXTY YEARS TO-DAY.
Sixty Years Ago Today
This Editor started on his Way;
Beginning down in old P-Ar
He finally came to Iowa.

We didn't commence to write poem
but simply to say that according to
record in the old family bible, found
in our childhood home down in Penn
sylvania, we are sixty years old to-
day. We do not suppose that airy
body else cares a fig about it one way
or the other, but we do. Like the
women, we are quite sensitive about
our increasing years; but unlike them
we are not ashamed to state the num-
Der. We sincerely regret that we are
growing old; though much to our
comfort and convenience, we do not
yet feel any of the infrmities that
afflict many people of our age. We
prefer youth, with it's idealism, it's
hope, its ambition, its enthusiasm,
rather than age with it's realism, its
loss of hope. its waning ambition, and
it's lack of enthusiasm.
We commenced hard work at ten
years of age. We have been at it
ever since. But we don't like it any
better than we did fifty years ago. We
have worked hard and tried to get rid
of it but have failed in our efforts.
There seems to be more at hand now
than ever. We had hoped to retire at
sixty. But retirement seems farther
