HIVE-LlFTING WHEEL-CART.
A Continuance That Will Prove Serv.
iceabIe to the Bee Keeper.

Honey production having grown
from retail to wholesale, hives, OF
necessity, need handling more rapidly
and easily. Every professional apiarist
surely must always need a hand-cart
of some sort. Then why not try to
make it do more than one thing? By
the plan shown in the illustration
think anyone can modify the details to
suit his needs; as, owing to hives be-
ing so various in many ways, one par
ticular pattern would suit only one
man. In truck made as suggested,
would have the floor-boards of the
truck nearest the front free-just to
rest on the handles-and kept in place
by cleats on the under side, either to
come inside or outside of handles, so

state Forester to Stop Fires.

State Forester E. M. Griffith has ap-
pointed a large number of special fire
wardens and taken charge Of large
forces of employees of lumber compa-
MES to fight the forest fires in the
northern part of the state. He says
that already the property loss has
been enormous, and unless rain comes
soon it will increase rapidly. The loss
to the state forest reserves has been
over $4,000. A deputy has inspected
all locomotives used in Wisconsin to
see that they are properly equipped
with spark arresters, and most of the
railroad companies have rendered the
services of employees to patrol their
roads in dangerous districts Mr..
Griffith says a heavy general rain
would put an end to most of the fires,
but that if one does not come before
the equinoctial storms the losses from
the fires are certain to be alarmingly
large.

Belts are a real source of extrava'

Fashion is very exacting in the matter

Belts of corded silk-plaited braid and
linen-leather are the chief favorites,
while almost every silk belt is finished

The state railroad commission heard
the complaint of the Wisconsin Tele-
phone Company against the city of
Green Bay for trying to enforce an
ordinance requiring the company to
put its wires in that city under ground.
The city contends that the ordinance
is not unreasonable. The commission
took the case under consideration.
The telephone company was repre-
scented by Attorneys E. S. Mack and
E. F. Fairchild, and President Alonzo
Burt, and the city by Attorney T. P.

To Get Rid Of Mice.

When traps are of no avail or are
objected to in catching mice a good
plan is to saturate bits of sponge or
cotton wool with oil of peppermint and
place it in their holes, or sprinkle the
oil in any place that they are likely to
frequent. Another plan is to make a
cement of plaster of Paris, cayenne
pepper and cold water. and fill the
mouse holes with this. The best rem

Trimmings.

That this is a season of elaborate
trimming cannot be doubted. En-
broidery and soutache braid are even
more in vogue than they were last
season. The latter decorates net or
filet and embroidery, either applied or
carried out. in designs, is worked in
with it.
At the same time the rule of great
simplicity of adornment, as regards
suits, and of unlimited decoration, in
the case of dressy toilets, whether
designed for day or evening wear,
holds good and women should be care
full to see that dresses are trimmed
suitably for the purposes for which
they are intended.

Travel on Increase.

The railroads entering Madison ex-
perienced the greatest rush of bust
ness of the year. Passenger travel
has not been SO great for year. This
is the statement of John T. Gething,
agent for the Northwestern line. Sep
TENDER is always a heavy month for
travel, but its volume was even more
satisfactory than in past years. The
closing of the summer resort season
has something to do with this result,
as has the cool weather which recent
ly put a damper upon further so
journing at the lakes. But the main
reason for the extraordinary amount
of railroad business is the preferment
of the month of September for travel.

Convenient Form of Nest Boxes.

For the bottom use a 12-inch board.
Fasten it at the back with hinges and
at the front attach to it several leath-
er straps by which it can be hooked
up on nails to hold it in place. These
nests should be fastened against the
wall.
When you want to clean them, all
that is necessary is to unlock the
straps from the nails in front and let
the bottom down, thus empyting all
the contents The bottom can then be
quickly scraped and swept or washed
with a spray pump, and then put in
place again. The sketch shows tho
