Managing Bees.

1t is always best to start with a full
colony of bees, and one that Is in
every respect In frst-class condition.
1t is true that one can buy a part OF
colony for less money, but 1t Is the
dearest in the long run, and more IL
able to be a failure. A strong colony
OF bees In one season Is capable of stor-
Ing 100 or 200 pounds of honey; be-
sides, they may swarm and make from
one to two colonies. Bees should al
ways be in condition to take care OF
themselves, and do not require such
difficult manipulation as that of a nu-
cleus, or pounds, of bees, and a queen,
ETC., as full and strong colonies are
now sent in the ordinary hives used
In the apiary, and are equipped with
the necessary fixtures to have every
thing In working order the moment the
bees are located and the entrance open.

The Boil weeviI.

The cooperation with the Bureau Of
Entomology of the Crop Pest Com
mission Of Louisiana number Of cul-
tural experiments were carried out in
different sections OF the cotton belt,
during which 1t appeared that Triumph
cotton Is the best variety for use In
sections infested with the boil weevil.
Northern-grown seed, In order to re-
tain Its early maturing qualities, must
be renewed from its Northern sources
at least every other year. The results
obtained from these experiments con-
firm previous work along this line, and
the author therefore recommends thor
ough preparation Of the soil, early
planting, the use of early varieties of
cotton, abundant fertilizers, thorough
cultivation Of the crop, and the de-
struction Of cotton plants in the fan.

Fighting Weeds.

IL the labor annually bestowed In the
endeavor to eradicate weeds could be
applied at the proper times not only
would the nuisance be removed, but
the labor leSsened. In the case of
weeds the slightest amount of labor
saved in omitting to kill them when 1t
should be done entails greater labor at
other times. Nor is all labor on weeds
lost. During the eradication or de-
struction of weeds the regular crops
may be cultivated and the land put in
better condition. One of the greatest
mistakes Is In not destroying the weeds
when they first appear. 1t will require
less labor to destroy hundred weeds
when they are young than to kill
single plant after it has made consld-
erable growth, to say nothing of the
fact that every weed that reaches ma
turity and produces seeds leaves great
er work to be done afterward. AL
though farmers are busiest in spring,
yet by properly preparing the land for
the intended crop they gain time. For
year or two the farmer may find 1t
difficult work combating weeds, but
the time SO devoted will be regained
fo1rfold in after years Weeds can
best be destroyed when rotation is
used, and the ground should be plowed
for corn early enough in the spring to
allow of the sprouting of weed seeds.
This sprouting of the weed seeds is the
most important part Of the process, and
the farmer should be willing to per-
form any amount Of labor IL he can
sprout them at time when they will
not Interfere with a growing crop.

Rate OF FORCED pestructlon.

According to bulletin issued by the
forest service of the Agricultural De-
partment, every person in this country Is
using over six times as much wood as
the individual consumption in Europe,
and the country asa whole consumes
over three times what the forests of the
United States grow during the year. The
consequence of this policy Is an inevit-
able timber famine. 1t is pointed out
that the increased population since 1890
is barely more than half the increase In
lumber cut, SO that the increase of for
est destruction cannot be explained en-
tirely on the theory of increased popu-
lation. The Northeastern States have
passed their maximum production, and
the Southern States are near their max
imum, while the State of Washington
now ranks first In the volume OF timber
cut. At present one-fifth of the total for
est area is owned by the government.
The average age Of trees felled for lum-
Der this year is not less than $50 years.

Ray Stannard Baker, in the second
of his series of articles for the American
Magazine, dealing with the negro prob
lem, condenses his observations into this
phrase 'They want the new South, but
the old darkey" He said he had the
experience Of being told that no north
erner can understand the negro as well
as those who have lived with them all
their lives, and then of finding that
these men rarely knew anything about
the better class of negroes, those who
were in business or in independent occu-
pations, and who owned their own
homes" On the other hand, the best
negroes did not know the higher class Of
the white people In the South, and based
their suspicion and hatred upon the acts
of the poor white trash" To this he
attributes the danger of the present sit
uatioH.

worthy. He likes very much the great
est comfort for the smallest outlay,
and certainly likes to be loved.
But he himself very soon adapts him
self to the philosophy of why run
after street car when you've caught
it?' If women who are determined to
marry would only recognize this un-
pleasant truth there would not be so
many pitiful wrecks of married hap
riness. These foolish women expect
their husbands to remain always low
ers. 1t isn't mems nature.

Building "a silo.

In locating a silo 1t Is well to re-
member that the feeding of the silage
Is an everyday job during the whole
winter and spring. Other things be-
ing equal. the nearest available place
Is the best. If the ground IS dry out
side the barn the silo may be built
alongside, providing for doors opening
directly into the stable. In case silage
is fed to milking COWS, directly there
is danger of its odor filling the sta
BILE to the detriment of the milk. This
can to some extent be avoided by keep
ing the cows at the opposite end Of
the stable and by proper ventilation.
Silos may be built of wood, stone,
brick or concrete, or partly Of one and
partly of another of these materials.
Where lumber is cheap and stone high,

SLEEVE IN PLACE. woman has invent
ed a simple contrivance which does
away with all these trying perplexi-
ties, and she thinks so highly of the
device that she has had it patented in
the United States. AS shown In illus
tration, 1t comprises a narrow elastic
band, having on each end ring, one
being larger than the other. Attached
to the band is double cord. In using
this device the band is formed into a
lasso (by slipping the smaller ring
through the larger one), which is slip
ped over the end of the sleeve of the
waist The fine end of the band is then
secured to the thumb by the ring. The
cord is attached to the little finger.
After slipping the arm into the sleeve
of the coat the ring on the thumb is
released and the band pulled out of the
armhole by means of the cord.

Experience with Manure spreader.

Experience with Manure spreader.
My experience with the manure
spreader teaches me that the modern
method of applying manure to land is
far In advance of the old practice, says
a writer In Farm and Fireside. In APP
plying manure with the spreader 1t Is
put on uniformly, and all parts of the
field are equally benefited. When the
manure was dumped in piles, 1t fire.
quently happened that the work of
spreading was postponed for some
time, and the result was that much of
the fertillzlng value Of the manure
leached out or was lost through fer
mentation. The manure spreader not
only saves the plant food elements of
the manure, but also saves time and
labor, as the work Is all done at one
time. 1t does two very important
things and does them well---it thor
oughly fines the manure and distrlb-
utes 1t evenly.

Enter City Streets on Same
Terms as Steam Railroad
and do Not Have TO Pur.
chase Franchise at Public
Outcry.
THE MAYFIELD-PADUCAH LINE

Interurban traction companies Sc
cure rights of way into and over city
streets on the same basis and by the
same terms as steam railroads, In the
opinion of Mr.. Campbell Flournoy,
one Of the attorneys for the Paducah
Southern company, which has sur
veyed a route between Paducah and
Mayfield, and for that reason, the
company is asking for a franchise
without the formality of public sale
and purchase.
Mr.. Flournoy introduced the mat
ter before the board OF councilmeu
last night, and a conference will be
held by the traction company repre-
sentatives, the mayor. city solicitor
and ordinance committee.
This question of franchise has been
thoroughly threshed out in Louisville.
Greensboro and other Kentucky cities
on interurban lines, and there seems
to be little confusion as to the intent
and meaning of the statutes.
The only thing in the way of the
construction of the line between Pa
ducah and Mayfield, with the ulti-
mate intention of extending it to the
Mississippi river and into Tennessee,
is the Paducah franchise. The COM
pany has ample financial backing by
eastern capitalists, and, most of the
right of way between Paducah and
Mayfield has been secured.
