1t is indeed with sorrow that We heard
that another of our number had gone out
from us, and Bea will long be remembered
by US all. In TIE past few years, she had
known much sorrow. Only a few years
ago daughter was taken, and about year
ago her husband died. I will ask Anon,
who knew her better than most of US, to
write little memorial of her and any
others who would add something to print

To the NJ. B. c.:
By the way, Aunt Madge, I ate some Florida
celery few days ago that was quite good
deal better than no celery. Draw your own
differences. oh, please tell Dell that l really
didn't know what referendum meant when
she wrote of it in her letter, and surely she
will think me nonenity, but take very little
interest in the work of the Legislators of
Maine. AS regards women's rights to vote
don't let Dell know-I'd rather have
nothing to do with voting, If its all the same
to her and the rest of you.
In regard to schools, I've done what could
in the by-gone days, and hopeto do more good
than harm for some time yet. and as for taxes.
/ fear nothing that l could say would have
much weight in a town where many OF the
voters still insist upon taking taxes from a
woman past fifty, nearly or partly crippled
from birth, with tax valuation of $500, and
no one living to assist her to one dollar, or to
help her in any way to care for her little
home gain her living. When this woman
goes from her home in autumn to earn her
living working unduly hard for wages, there
is not single person that she can get to even
look over her house and write % her in re-
gard to it, and she has not heard one word
about it since see left it in November of 1905
But the first day she arrives there she will re-
ceiye visit from the tax collector, who will
ask if she would like to pay her tax.
She has no road to her house. at least the drive
~ from the main road to her house across
another persons land, is very difficult for foot
passengers, dangerous for horses, and quite
impossible for bicycles or automobiles. She
takes her boat and rows to a neighbor usually
when she has an GRAND to do. Some of the
selectmen have abated her small tax some
times. Don't you think they ought to-
She would be willing to vote if she thought
she could better matters for herself and
others, but her idea is that the men (as q class)
will do as well as the women (taken all to-
gether with the other voters) would do, and
she would rather not be obliged to vote.

WORK THE STALLION.
He Will Prove = Better Sire II Given
Regular Exercise.

II farmers realized the extent of
their real loss from patronizing stall.
lions that are kept without work from
one years end to the other, and dur
Ing the season exceedingly fat, they
would refuse hereafter to patronize
any stallion that has not been worked
during the entire year except perhaps
during 1.-The season."
The horse is built for work; other.
wise he is Of no value. Hence, II we
are to maintain him in health and
vigor, he must have exercise-open
air exercise when he is young and
work after he is old enough. Only
In this way can constitutional vigor
be maintained. The draft horse espe-
cially requires working. You cannot
develop the draft instinct, in other
words. the pulling instinct, except by
actual work; nor can 1t be maintained
in any other way. II a stallion is so
vicious that he cannot be worked he
Is not At for sire.
There IS no difficulty in working a
stallion. using any kind of ordinary
care. He should be treated just like
any other work animal on the farm;
should work when there is work to
do; work just as hard as any gelding
or brood mare on the place.
If you have been disappointed in a
stallion after keeping him in the
usual way for year, put him to
work and you will ordinarily find that
you will have no complaints of q lack
OF surety the next year, declares Wal
lace's Farmer unless there is some
constitutional defect. He will not
only be more sure. but the colts will
be Of superior quality. 1t is simply
folly to keep stallion in idleness
nine months in the year, then load
him up with fat, and sometimes with
dope. during the season, and expect
to secure the proper number of colts

SANITATION ON HOG FARM.
10 Of the Utmost Importance In Pre-
duction Of Good Hogs.

II there is one place in which SAM
tary conditions should be kept right,
1t is on the hog farm. The hog yard
of the ordinary farm is not a place
that suggests altar of roses. 1t should
however be made as sanitary as our
best horse stables or COW stalls. The
hog is one of the cleanest of animals
II conditions be made to his liking.
He does not prefer filth, and his only
suggestion of dirtiness lies in his love
for wallowing in the mud on hot
day. The mud bath is comfort to
him. Hogs are not the only creatures
that take mud baths. Otherwise the
hog is . clearly animal. Those that
have provided clean water bath for
him say that he takes to the water
with a good deal of pleasure. We
have not seen this proved, but we
have had enough experience with the
hog to know that he likes clean things
about him and will work hard carry
ing clean straw to his bed. The best
way to keep disease from the hog
farm is to keep it clean. declares
Farmers Review. though this will not
always do It, II disease germs are
brought on the boots of visitors
to clean farm they may work just
as great havoc as they would on a
dirty farm. That is not, however, .
good argument against sanitation.

BY BREEDING NOT FEEDING.
High Feeding Will Not Produce Fine
ness Of Wool.

According to the data now on hand
the fineness of wool is not increased
by high feeding. The fineness Of
wool Is told by the diameter Of each
Individual thread of wool on the skin
Of the sheep. By high feeding 1t has
been found that each of these is
heightened. and that the bulk Of the
wool Is increased. but the diameter
of the woolly hair remains the same.
Each hair III we may call 1t that
comes out of the hair bulb. and the
number of those bulbs on square
inch of the skin remains the same I'M
der any kind Of feeding. But with diff
ferent breeds there is a difference as
to how many q these hair bulbs exist
per square inch. The larger the num-
Der, the finer the wool, and the fewer
the number, the coarser the wool. This
is naturally the case. The fine wool
sheep we have are the product of Sc
lecting and breeding. 1t Is not to be
supposed that we can produce fine
wool sheep out of coarse wool sheep
by any kind of feeding we may adopt.
We can do much by feeding, but there
is one thing that We cannot do, and
that is to increase the fineness of the
wool.

celery and must dispose of it in some
manner to get back its money.
The city is erecting the intercepting
sewer at Mish's Hollow, and in taking
this ground 1t was necessary to take
1000 stalks of fine celery. which still
remained in the ground. and for which
this locality has gained some fame.
The celery was not ripe and cannot be
used for some time, and must yet un.
dergo the bleaching process. The
board Of public works was equal to
the occasion. and after securing the
ground had all the celery removed to
the island, where 1t was placed in
charge Of the Harrisburg park com.
mission. to be bleached and made
ready for use.

COMB BUILDING.
Effect Of Using Old Comb In the
Hive.

The using of the old comb is OBJ
jected to by many on the ground that
in state of nature the swarm goes
into an empty cavity and builds, first
all worker comb, and toward the last
drone comb. We believe the queen
prefers to lay eggs in worker comb,
and that the bees build worker comb
to please her. When they are SO far
ahead Of her as to see that she has all
she can fill, they go back to building
the large cells. Because OF this we do
not believe in giving the bees part of
their combs already built; neither do
we think it right to give them, as some
do, half sheets or one-third sheets Of
foundation. II you give them full
sheets, they cannot build drone combs.
But II you give them good portion,
say half of the combs, already built,
and the rest Of the space empty, they
will build more drone comb than with
any other method.

A GARDEN OF BUCKETS

These beans are imported. They
are about the size of small pea and
have hard, shiny olive green shell.
The sprouts from the beans are as
white as the most perfect bleached
celery and have a sweet, spicy taste
that savors of the artichoke or tender
spring radish. At their highest stage
of development they are about three
or four inches long and as thick as an
ordinary lead pencil.
Whoever has eaten chop suey or
yockamain in Chinese restaurant has
eaten liza choy. for these and many
other dishes prepared by the orientals
can scarcely be served without II.
But the garden in which liza choy
is grown by Lee Ling is the interest
ing thing. Side by side in the corner
OF long. dark room SO wooden buck
cts with battened tops are arranged
Into two or three Of these are put two
pounds of Chinese beans each.
The little green pellets are then
covered with lukewarm water and al
lowed to stand. Gradually they absorb
the water and by the end OF the first
day they have swelled to twice their

normal size. More water IL then
sprinkled over them and the covers Of
| the buckets are replaced.
At the end of the second day the
jackets of the beans have burst and q
tiny sprout appears. In the meantime
fresh quantity OF beans has been put
into two or three other buckets and
treated as in the first case. Every day
| a new lot of seeds are planted in add.
| tional buckets, SO that at all times
there are crops in various stages Of
development.
BY the end Of the third day thu
beans Il tHe first buckets have sent
out sprouts an inch long, which begin
to curl and twist in every direction.
The mass of vegetable matter has
swollen until the buckets are half full
of what at first glance resembles lot
of coarsely chopped cabbage.
From this time forth cool spring
water is sprinkled over the sprouting
beans every few hours and the growth
gradually wells up In the buckets
until at the end of the fourth day the
vessel Is filled with q mass OF clear
white shoots. The tops of the buckets
are fastened down and the sprouts
turn, twist and interlace in the dark
ness.
Gradually the power exerted by the
growing shoots becomes such that 1t
is necessary to release the tops Of the
pals. The liza choy then expands un-
til the white curly mass extends five
or six inches above the top OF the
vessel.
From the bottom of the bucket tn
the very top of the growth there is
nothing but mass Of clean, crisp.
white sprouts. The pals are then
emptied and the sprouts are shaken
up and raked over by hand until they
all lie as loose as SO many straws In
a pile. The green shells of the beans
are picked out and then the liza choy
is put in baskets and placed in the
store for sale.
The buckets are put back in place
and fresh beans are put Tito them. So
by planting in succession in the vari-
GUS vessels as the crops are complet-
ed there Is a never ending supply of
liza choy.
The imported beans planted in the
strange garden cost about five cents q
pound. From the two pounds placed
in a bucket about 16 pounds Of liza
choy is grown. The product sells fer
five cents pound. Therefore on an
investment Of ten cents Lee Ling Sc
cures a salable commodity valued at
so cents.
The demand for the vegetable is
very great. the Chinese restaurants
using from 100 to 200 pounds day
each in a week.

The back end Of the scantling is
fastened to the arm below by means
of rope tied just the right length,
which can be shifted from one to the
other as needed. The hook on the

PAPER FROM PEAT BOG.
SATISFACTORY SUBSTITUTE Fcn
WOOD PULP FOUND.
Industry Begun in Sweden by Com
pany Capitalized At Over $1,000
000-HeIps to Meet Demand
for coarser Grades.

Washington.-The peat bog fur
nishes the latest substitute for wood
In the manufacture of paper. Paper
making from peat on q commercial
scale has already begun In Sweden,
where a company. capitalized at more
than 100000. has made extensive
purchases of peat boys and prepared
plans for the erection of mills for
turning out wrapping paper and paste
board. The money for the enterprise
comes largely from London. but the
process by which the vegetable fiber
of the. peat will be converted into pa
per 10 covered by an American patent.
An account of the successful launch
ing of the enterprise IL given in a re-
port Of United States Consul r. 8. s.
BerEh of Gothenberg, Sweden.
It II claimed that ton of paper
worth $50 can be made from peat at a
total cost OF SIS, thus leaving a salts
factory margin Of profit. 1t is further
claimed that 1t takes only two hours
to convert the peat into paper. 1t
should not, however. be expected that
peat as material for paper making
can take the place of wood pulp for all
purposes. II 1t helps to meet the de-
mand for the coarser grades Of paper
and thus relieves the pressure upon
ths timber supply 1t will do q great
deal for the forests of the United
states.

will not be attacked by moths, and for
that reason 1t is assured to be pecu-
liarly fitted for boxes and bags for
storing furs and WOODEN clothing. 1t
Is further claimed that a process of
bleaching will give the paper snow
white color, and thus make it equal to
the best pulp papers for printing pur-
poses. but this claim does not appear
to have been established by actual
tests on commercial scale. Wrap
ping papers. cardboards and paper
boxes made from peat possess greater
strength than similar articles made
from straw.
