Bees ON the Farm.

While I would not advise any one
to take up beekeeping unless he has a
natural ability for 1t. I cannot help but
think that many OF our young men
might do so to a good advantage.
writes New York farmer in American
Agriculturist. l don't expect every
one that takes it up will be as success
full as some have been. but ! am sure
a large per cent Of our farmers might
keep few colonies very profitably. II
some would give their sons a little
more encouragement to take up some
thing Of this kind it would many times
be much better for both father and son.
The first expense is small, and IL it
should be the means of keeping the
boy on the farm it might be a blessing
in disguise.

Nervous
Worn-Out

Ii YOU arc in this condition,
your nerve force is weak-the
power is giving out. the or
gans of your body have
slowed up, and do their work
imperfectly. This failure to
do the work required, clogs
the system and brings distress
and disease. When the nerves
are weak the heart Is unable
to force the life-giving blood
through your veins: the stom-
ach fails TO digest food; the
kidneys lack power TO filter
impurities from the blood, and
the poisonous waste remains in
the system to breed disease.
Nerve energy must be restored
DR.. Miles Ncrvine will do II,
because it strengthens the
nerves: it is nerve medicine
and tonic, that rebuilds the
entire nervous system.
Several years ago I was all broken
down. l was nervous, worn-out. could
not sleep. and was In constant pain.
I doctored for months. md finally the
doctor said he could do nothing for
me. 1 began taking DIR. Miles

Horse ana Cow Nav.

Timothy sells for higher price in the
market than other hay and is regarded
as being particularly adapted to horses.
It is deficient in protein and for that
reason should be fed with a grain ra-
ton Of a heterogeneous nature. For
horses no better basis for n ration can
be found than timothy hay and oats.
1t is less valuable for cattle and sheep.
Clover hay il next to timothy in COM
mon use, and the two are more often
found mixed than either is found alone.
The heterogeneous nature Of the clovers
aids in supplying the deficiency Of
protein in the timothy. Clover is more
valuable than timothy for cattle aud
sheep. but Is not considered SO salts
factory for horses.

A Cumulative Sentence.

According to an eminent lawyer who
practices before the supreme court OF
the United States. there is a custom In
French Jurisprudence that sanctions
the consultation by judge in provin
cial courts with colleagues on the
bench, called assessors, when sen
tence is to be passed upon certain
classes of malefactors.

Among the materials that have been
substituted for rags in the making of
paper is esparto grass. which was for
merly obtained for this purpose from
Spain. but is now largely imported by
British and American manufacturers
from the north of Africa.
Il is a very hardy plant, fourishing
in deserts where other vegetable life is
unable to exist, and the suggestion has
recently been made that by cultivating
esparto grass in the Sahara that great
region Of deserts might be partially re-
claimed and turned into a source OF
profit for mankind
