Immense Steel Works in Japan Nearing
COMPLETION

The Wakamatsu Iron and Steel works,
under japanese imperial control, are
nearing completion. at a total cost of
$40 700, 600. As an evidence of Japan
csc economy the official salaries are no
ticeable. The president gets $4,000
a year, the chief expert $500, the two
manage $1,000 each, eight experts aver
aging $500 each and thirty clerks and
forty assistants have an average month
~ wage of SO. All the principal ma
chinery appears to be English and Ger
man makes, except the electrical cranes,
which are American made, as also is a
fair share of the minor machinery. The
works and workers houses cover $50
acres.

Managing Bees,

1t is always best to start with & full
colony of bees, and one that is in
every respect in first-class condition.
It is true that one can buy a part of
a colony for less money, but it is the
dearest in the long run, and more IL
able to be q 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 a 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.

HISTORY IN LAW REPORTS.
They Picture Our Civilization for the
Past 500 Years.

EdSL CUU Years
The English and American lawyers
and judges have worked out wonder
full system that must command the adj
miration of all who have competent
knowledge of it.
This system is formed by the reports
of the decisions OF courts Of last resort.
There are probably now some H.
600 volumes of reports, giving the dispo-
sition of hundreds of thousands of par
ticular instances that have arisen in the
actual course Of the ever changing rela-
tons in human affairs.
If every evidence of our civilization of
the last 500 years should perish, says
the American Lawyer, and there should
remain only one set of the reports, all of
our institutions. social, religious and po-
litical and much of our science and
philosophy, could be reconstructed from
them by the traveller from New Zea-

Building a Silo.

In locating a silo it 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 a danger of its odor filling the sta
BILE to the detrimeAt 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

Fighting Weeds.

If 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 emitting to kill them when it
should be done entails greater labor at
other times. Nor is all labor OH 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 a hundred weeds
when they are young than to kill
single plant after it has made consid-
cradle 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
difficult work combating weeds, but
the time so devoted will be regained
folrfold 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 if he can
sprout them at a time when they will
not interfere with a growing crop.
