EMBEDDING WIRES.
Waxing the Wires with Brush AND
Spoon Combined.

When full sheets of foundation are
used In wired frames 1t is always de.
stable to put the frames in use soon
after the Embedding is done, or the
wires are likely to cleave away from
the sheet of foundation, and this is
especially likely to occur when such
frames of foundation are hauled to
outyards.
AS the spur wireimbedder comes so
near to cutting the sheet of founda-

day rocker wire.imbedder to avoid oc-
casional trouble from the sheets

Embedding had been done.
Now We find it safe to use the spur

will never pull apart at the wires. 1t
Is now our practice to wax the wires

Fertilizers Paw

No farmer should lose sight of the

abundance of plant food is required in

that every particle of vegetable mat

Joe Chapple, editor of the National
Magazine, Is moved to observe that
If the human race could be all happy
by habit, or even moderately rational,
there would be little bitterness, and
no more of the absolutely needless
sacrifice OF the nobler and uplifting
emotions of mankind. To-day he
says, I'VE offer human sacrifices just
as truly as did the Aztecs, and our
shafts of sarcasm and persecution cut
as deep as any sacrificial knife of old,
beneath which the human blood
gushed out and stained the great
stone slab on which the victim lay
bound. True, those who suffered In
the old days were not all helpless vic.
tims-some went to the stake cheer
fully content to die for their convic.
tions. They are now made victims for
personal revenge and public honors,
which could never be attained except
by Staying those in power, over whose
PROSTATE forms the ambitious grasp
the tinsel OF glory they coyet, but
which they, too, some day will find
only broken bauble. 1t has been
said that the way to appeal to an
Englishman is through his stomach;
let 1t not be said with equal truth
that the way to appeal to an American
Is through his purse. Too many great
questions to-day are considered on the
basis OF whether or not there Is
money In It.; but all manhood cannot
be bought with gold, or the nations
sense of justice dulled by pecuniary
gain. Ruskin was one who loved his
fellow-man. This great man said,
The sum OF enjoyment depends not
on the quantity of things tasted but
on the vivaclty and patience of

Artificial Noses,

People sometimes lose their noses by

To Get Zoos.

Among other things, 1t takes lime,
protein and fat-producing materials
to produce eggs and keep the hens in
flesh. 1t is estimated that bushel
of corn will feed 100 hens one day,
but 1t contains only lime and protein
enough to make 80 eggs, while 1t has
fatforming elements enough for two
days feed for 100 hens. This shows
the necessity of having variety of
feed in which there is more lime and
protein. Is it any wonder hens do
not lay in the winter when they are
fed nothing but corn?

Two wheels from an old riding pillow,
