There are two best ways of hand

behave they will drive you out In

pint to quart of drones or male bees

when they fill these they are apt to
swarm; this will spoil the crop of
honey. If you can, remove the cause
of the swarming fever. Take out
four frames in the center of the hive
and put in four empty ones. Another
way is to let them swarm once and

mystery to the majority of people.

occupations of Mattoon, Wis, but avn
Exceptionally interesting one also

They are then put into steam box

soften the timber. This steam box is
large box directly behind the drag
saw into which the timber Is piled.
two-inch pipe containing holes
through which the steam can escape
passes through this steam box AT
the end of twelve hours the timber
is removed from the steam box ana
then comes the process called peel
ing. With spuds and axes the bark
Is removed easily, for the timber is
soft now and red hot II Is then
ready to enter the mill and be cut
into veneer.
The peeled log is hoisted on a crane
to the veneer lathe, and that is the

The filling of an ice-house, even the
small one on the farm, requires a
great amount of heavy lifting when
done by hand. A simple and efficient
horse elevator is described by a
writer in the Rural New Yorker. Two
upright posts of the hight of the house
and about three feet apart are set in
, font of the doors and securely fas-
tened in pace. Each has a grove on
the inner side within which the eleva-
tor travels up and down. The rope
/ passes over a pulley near the top of
the house. and thence around another
pulley near the ground. A horse is
hitched to this and the device works
much in the same way as does a hay
/ fork. The secret of the successful
operation of this elevator is in the
mechanism of the trips They are
little irons placed in the side frame
F., of the elevator in such a way that
they will, automatically. hold it in any
place. A trip rope is attached by
which the trips may be raised and
! the elevator allowed to descend when
lit is desire. 1t is always free to
move upward, but it can never fall
unless the trips are sprung by the
! trip rope. This elevator can be
made by anyone handy with tools. and
with a blacksmith TO make the trips
and a few iron braces necessary.
In the prompt destruction of all use
less remnants Immediately after the
harvesting of the crop, We have a
valuable remedy which is all too lit,
tie appreciated by most persons. A
stalk weevil which bores in the stems
| of the potato reaches maturity and
escapes from the vines only aft r the
crop is harvested and the vines are
lying unheeded on the ground. On
the neglected stubs of cabbage and
caulifiower plants many a brood of
/ lice is born in the fail and Indian sum
mer season. Many cut worm and
green cabbage worm, and many a
pupa (chrysalis) of the diamond back
moth passes the winter or reaches
maturity on these remnants, hence
their immediate destruction is advis.
