MAIL ORDER HOUSE EVIL.

There is no use in claiming that concerns. They are entitled to exist as we'll as the small merchant There can be no doubt as to the perfectness of the system that they are conducted upon. No use in denying that now and then they fail to give satisfaction to their customers. So do the mer- chants in all lines of trade. He who believes that these great concerns are not injurious to the merchants in the smaller cities and towns knows little about their operations. Then how is it that the mail order houses are in- furious to the people of the land? Great economists agree that it is the coreentration of capital and power in the large cities wherein rests the dan gers that threaten the people. The mail order houses are great factors in this concentration They are suckers of the blood of the country, the mediums that take from communities where it is earned the money that should be retained by the people for the u6NelOpiISHL anu SAliSHilioHt Oi their own communities. Herein is the mail order house evil. On these grounds all wise people will do what ever lies in their power to head of the greater growth of the system. Any system should be retained within its limits for the greater development of its resources and general enrichment, is a bad system and should be decried. It is not sufficient that the consumers retain the profits that should go to the tradesmen of the place. By this there is little development of industry. The towns and cities lose the business that is necessary to employ the people, while the wealth to an extent may be retained

An Ornanization Era.

This is an age of organization" ]" The farmers combine to regulate the markets for their products, the grain dealers and the stock buyers combine to keep prices down, the four manu- facturers and the meat packers com bine to keep prices up, and the job bers combine to hold the combined manufacturers in check, and the re- tailers combine to carry on their busi- ness in way to gain living and make light the exactions demanded by the manufacturers and the iobbers. The working man combines to protect himself in his work and against the cutting of wages, and so it goes. The struggles of life are many, but can not they be lessened by having fewer combinations? Will not the practice of home trade principles act in pre- ventative way against combinations?

CLEAN WATER VESSELS.
Do Not Contaminate Flock by Un
 clean Dishes.

Water troughs or fountains that can easily be cleaned are the only kind that should be used in tbe poul. try yard. Wooden troughs often be. come slimy, especially in warm weath. CT, though the water in them appears cle sr and clean.
 A broom and soapsuds should be used on such troughs, afterwards rinsing thoroughly in clean water. If this task Is attended to once a week, and the receptacles filled with fresh water every morning, the hens will be amply supplied with all the fresh water they need, if it is kept out of the sun.
 If ducks are kept, wooden troughs will be found the most convenient, and in using these slats of lath should be nailed across the top to prevent the ducks wallowing in the water, render ing it filthy and creating . sloppy muddy place in the yard.

Brush and Spoon Waxer.

sures that they will stay imbedded, whether used this year or next; aids in preventing sagging along the wires, making that line (usually the weak est the strongest place in the sheet of foundation. Frames with sheets of foundation so prepared are espe- cially good for hauling to outyards and over bad roads.
 Our older methods of waxing the wires in place were faulty. With brush the brush would not carry enough wax; with a sharpnosed tin spoon with a small notch in the end it was difficult to follow the wire and to regulate the flow of wax. During the spring of 1906, writes E. F. At water in Bee Culture, MT. H. E. Crow ther and myself originated the plan of combining the spoon and brush, as H. lustrated herewith.
 The sheet of foundation, with wires imbedded, should be supported on a slant, then with the combined spoon and brush it is an easy matter to wax the wires in place; easy to follow the niISo easy lO lllc AOW Oi wax, and the spoon easily carries enough wax to finish one or more wires without stepping to dip again. Don't imagine that an exceedingly light coating Of wax is required, neither should it be used lavishly.
 This little tool is easily made, and should be on the list of supplies. Per. haps the brush can be combined with waxtube, though we prefer the point ed spoon as shown.
 Fig. 1 shows the complete spoon and brush combined, ready for use Fig shows the parts-the brush and the spoon.
 The spoon without the brush is the simplest tool to use when we want to attach either starters or full sheets of foundation to plain top-bars. It is the ''Onderdonk spoon" as described in the American Bee Journal years ago. It is also perhaps the best tool to use when we fill sections with foundation fastened on three or four sides-a plan that I discarded after years of trial and experiment.

GENERALLY OF POOR GRADE.
Sales of Cheap Jewelry by Mall
 Amount to Millions Annually.

The report of the sales of one large mail order house showed nearly half millions of dollars worth of jewelry and silverware sold annually Take the total of all the jewelry sold by the mail order system of business and it is likely to amount to fully $25.000,- 900 to s30,000,00O annually.
 If the people could be made to un- derstands what kind of stuff in the watch and jewelry lines Is generally sent out by the mail order houses they would be more careful in buying. The guarantee of these houses amounts to little, regardless Of the millions of dol lars of capital they may have em- ployed in the business. All the guar autee binds them to do is to supply a new case if the one does not wear for the 20-year period" Not one case in one thousand, even though they do not last five years, are returned to the concern for exchange. The cases are generally lowest grade, and made to order for the concerns. Not long since the manager of one of the catalogue houses called upon a large watch manufacturing concern. By the way this company would not sell the company it's own trade-marked watches unless there was an agree ment not to cut prices. However, be- fore the manager left he had agreed for several thousand watches to be supplied them. Those watches were of certain grade, were sold at prices lower than good watches could be as- sembled and tested. These watches have the special marks of the con- cern, but not the name.
 In rings, emble1ns, all classes of jewelry, the mail order kind is the cheapest. Should something of a su- perior character be listed, it will be noted that prices are as high as the local dealer asks. In silverware is where the catalogue house gets in it's fine work on patrons. Plated ware is generally sold according to the amount of silver, the weight to the piece or the dozen pieces, used in the plating and the amount of carved work, etc. Like other goods, the mail order house handles a class of ware that is lightly plated and inferior to that which is handled in the regular stores.

EMBEDDING WIRES.
Waxing the Wires with a Brush and
 Spoon Combined.

When full sheets of foundation ars used in wired frames it is always de. siable to put the frames in use soon after the imbedding 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 wire-imbedder comes so near to cutting the sheet of founda- ton in two, we have, in the past, found it better to use the old Easter day rocker wire-imbedder to avoid oc- casional trouble from the sheets breaking or pulling apart where the imbedding had been done.
 Now we find it safe to use the spur imbedder, and the sheet of foundation will never pull apart at the wires It is now our practice to wax the wires in place after imbedding them into tho sheet of foundation. This in.
