SHALL WE RAISE OUR OWN
HONEY?

The bee business is business of de-
ails, which must be looked after Just
at the proper time; if we neglect them
success will not be ours. There is al
ready a great deal of lottery associated
with bee keeping, and the chances are
very much more against the man who
makes bee keeping a side issue.
The man who wants to go into bee
culture should make it business. and
go into it heavy enough so the bust
ness will support him, or else let it alone.
My theory, | admit, may be- disputed,
but it will be hard work to dodge the
facts as | have observed mem during
the last quarter of century. Time and
again have seen neighbors and friends
invest money in bees and hives in the
hope of adding to their revenues by the
labors of the little industrious insect;
the result has been failure almost with
out exception. The hives stand around
empty, or are used for hens nests or for
storing apples, ETC., and the combs are
eaten up by moths The humming OF
The bees is not heard any more. Indeed.
the exceptions are so rare they ONLY
prove the rule. ] am very loath now 10
advise any man to engage in bee keep
iIg without | am satisfied he is wiling
to give much time and study to the pur-
suit.
The real difficulty lies in the wintering
problem, which is the cause os many
bee keeper giving up the business in dis
gust, even those who have posted them
selves and are up to the times. If there
was an easy and sure method of winter
ing bees everybody could have them and
raise some honey; but as it is it is only
a question of time before the ordinary
bee keeper is forced to give up.-Friede-
mann Greiner, in Farm and Fireadc.

For February festivities that take
place on or pear the fourteenth of the
month, there are this year a host of
charming novelties. The old-fash-
Toned valentines are, of course, out of
date for everybody but children, yet
the sentiment of the day still fingers
in the hearts and darts and paste
board Cupids used on the new candy
boxes. What, for instance, could be
a prettier remembrance for any young
man to give his best GIRL" or even
young woman for whom he had no
particular regard but to whose family
he was indebted for invitations to
dinner or tea, dances or other func-
tons of the season, than one of these
candy-boxes? Two different styles
are shown on this page-one covered
with bright-red paper and decorated
with big bow of red ribbon, having
in the centre Cupid himself, with his
bow and arrows; the other simpler,
but just as effective, covered with
white crepe paper and decorated with
gilt arrow pierced through two
hearts. If these boxes are wanted
for souvenirs at luncheons or parties
they can easily be made at home by
a clever girl, for the crepe paper is
very simple to manipulate. The heart
shaped pasteboard boxes can be
bought ready-made at most stationery
stores, and the hearts and arrows cut
out of red and gold paper respec-
q
Even easier to make is the little
round box shown at the top of the
left-hand corner of this group. Any

PURE BRED POULTRY.

Poultry may be pure-bred and still be
far from exhibition quality, and right
here it may be we'll fo$t the farmer to
know that there are requisites equally
as important in one as the other. Poul-
try for the farmer, first of all, msst
be useful, otherwise the one main point
at issue, profit, will be TUNED into a
loss. The relation of fancy poultry to
useful poultry is so closely linked that
it would be hard to separate the two, the
fancy being the foundation of the useful.
Therefore, the breeder of exhibition
fowls must keep up the quality, while
the farmers and breeders for profit de-
velop the useful and money making quail
ities.-Homc and Farm.

flying Love-Knots."

A picturesque st. Valentine con-
test, which will .noc cost the hostess
but few dimes, is to provide each
girl with length Of colored satin
ribbon, suggests The Delineatior.
This is the only apparatus needed
for the game of Tying Love-Ilnots. "
Each man is to be the timekeeper
for each girl and he must talk to her
all the time she is tying an artistic
love-knot out of the ribbon.
He keeps his watch in hand, and
tries to divert her attention and make
her answer his questions. Three
minutes Is the time limit, and IL she
succeeds in making the knot, he must
wear it through the evening, pinned
to his cravat. IL she fails she must
keep at 1t until she succeeds.

Some St. Valentine "Don'ts. ~

Remember that lou want to enjoy
the st. Valentine party as well &c
your guests; therefore observe these
rules:
Don't fret and worry every hour of
the preceding day until you are ner-
vous and sensitive to everything that
goes wrong.
Don't rush your remes too close on
each others heels. Young people
like to talk.
Don't seem to be making an effort
to entertain them at every moment.
Suggest the games when the talking
grows little less spirited.

That Little Valentine Boy,

His other name Is Cupid. That is
what the old Romans called him.
He had still another name given him
by the early Greeks, Eros. But what
ever he may be called, he is the same
jolly little sprite that you paint, draw
or paste on your valentines as the
love fairy.
He looks very harmless with his
chubby-baby cheeks and his loving
eyes. But look at him closely and
you will find in those eyes sparks of
mischief glinting through the love,
like points of mica in a quartz rock.

Tariff Commission.

Washington-In a speech in the sen
ate, Senator Culberson declared that
che secretary of the treasury by his
report to the senate had raised an is
sue Of fact as to whether national
banks in New York used the $75,O0O,-
900 or public money deposited with
shem for speculative purposes, or
whether this money was used to meet
the demands of outside banks for re
serve purposes.
Mr.. Culberson complained that the
committee on finance had failed to
take any action on his resolution di-
seeting that it inquire into the cause
Of the recent financial stringency. He
declared that the report of the secre
harry of the treasury had shown that
that official had violated the law in
isuing the Panama bonds, because
money for the canal was not needed /;
and that he had violated the law an
awarding these bonds to national
banks, instead of the individuals and
IN using the proceeds Of the sale for
the purposes set forth in the report
and not for the construction of the
canal.
In issuing teh three per cent. GER
tificates, the secretary also violated
the law, Mr.. Culberson, said, because
they were not used for the purpose
provided by the statutes as there was
ample funds for such purposes. More
ever, he said, the secretary had vio-
lated the law in issuing the three per
cents. as the law limits the basis Of
such notes to registered bonds Of the
United States and the Panama bonds.
He had also failed to distribute this
money as provided under the act of
March 4, 1907. His distribution was
mequitable, said Mr.. Culberson, as
the money was used by New York
banks for speculative purposes.
Figures Tell the Truth.
"The public money deposited in the
national banks of the United States"
said Mr.. Culberson, "on March %,
1907, was $149, 100000. On December
,, the amount reached the enormous
sum of $225,0OO,O00. In New York
City alone, on March %, the amount
on deposit there was $14,000,000; on
August %, $2s,OOO,OO0 and on Deem
Der 3, $75,O0O,0OO.

states were given four times as much

"The increase of government depos-
IT'S in the eastern states, from August
TO December, 1907, was $54,OOO,O00
and the increase in deposits in south
srn states was $7,0OO,0O0.
