Ants In Hives.

A good way to catch the ants in
hives is to soak a sponge in honey
dilute the honey with water, as
then it will better enter the pores Of
the sponge) and put it where they can
get at it. When the sponge Is full Of
ants throw it into boiling water, and
repeat.
The best way to keep ants from
troubling is to find and destroy them
in their nests. This work must be
done at dusk in the evening, to get
all Of the inmates of a nest. Pouring
boiling water over the nest will kill
great many, but it hardly will get
them ALL The most effective way is
by using the drug bisulphide of car
bon. Make three or four holes in the
nest with thin stick, then pour in
the liquid. The holes must be quickly
closed with earth, to prevent the drug
from evaporating and reducing its eff.
fectiveness. About an ounce will be
enough for a nest. The carbon changes
to gas that penetrates all parts of
the nest, and is deadly to all animal
life.
Be very careful when using the
drug not to have fire Of any kind near
The carbon Is volatile, and the re-
sulting gas will explode with great
violence, the same as does gasolene
Don't let any one with lighted pipe
or cigar approach when using 1t. As
there is not much call for 1t, the bisul
phide Of carbon Is not always carried
by druggists. Then kerosene or gaso
lene can be used In the same way
but about four or five times as much
must be used for a nest.

see the treetop over the end Of the
upright stick. Then all he had to do
was to measure along the ground to
where his eye had been when lying
down, and that gave him the height Of
the tree.
The point about this method is that
the boy and stick made right angled
triangle with boy for base, stick for
perpendicular, both Of the same length,
and the Zine of sight, the hypotenuse
or long line of the triangle. When he
got into the position which enabled
him to just see the treetop over the
top Of the stick he again had a right
angled triangle with the tree as per-
pendicular, his eyes distance away
from the trunk, the base, and the line
of sight the hypotenuse. He could
measure the base line along the ground
and knew it must equal the vertical
height, and he could do this without
reference to the sun. 1t was an in

AN INTELLIGENT DOG.
What a Clever Collie Did With His
Masters Plaid.


The shepherds who live among the
hills and on the plains of Scotland
have to travel many miles day while
looking after their flocks of sheep, but
they would have to travel great deal
more if they had not with them some
very clever collie dogs.
These little four footed friends are
so wise and clever that their masters
could not do without them. To show
you how clever these doggies are the
following story is told of one of them:
One day Scotch shepherd was
caught in a rain shower, and when he
arrived home his plaid, which he wore
over his back in place of an overcoat,
was quite wet through.
But he just took it off and gave it
to his collie dog, and doggie at once
went into another room, carrying the
plaid in his mouth.
And what do you think he did with
it there? Why, to the astonishment
of an English gentleman who had fol-
lowed to watch, doggie went and sat
on the hearth in front of a big fire,
and there he held out the plaid over
his paws.
And he turned it about and about in
front of the fire until both sides Of the
plaid were quite dry. Then he took 1t
back to his master.

rearing boy should be kept and pre-
sented to him. He said:
parents should always let boy
know that it has cost a great deal Of
money to rear him. 1t Is estimated
that child costs it's parents from S3,-
900 to $4,000.
When a boy reaches the age Of
twenty-one years his father should
present him with bill for the amount
1t costs to raise him.
Whether the boy ever pays the bill
or not, makes no difference. He is
taught lesson that he probably will
never forget.
The minister said that 1t is not
a good idea for parents to open their
children's mail.
The Rev. Mr.. Vaughn also says:
The husband must be the "Ruler" but
the wife must hold the pocketbook
give the husband his allowance, that
girls must not go to college, wear silk
stockings or peach basket hats, and
that divorce will be avoided by arbi
tration in the happy family of the
future.

KILL RUSSIAN ROBIN HOOD.
SchooIboy Who Turned Brieand
Robbed Rich to Give to Poor and
Cooled Police for Years.


Mohilev, Russia.-The noted robber
chieftain, Savitzky, the "Robin Hood"
of the Russian revolution, has been
killed by members of the rural guard.
With three members of his band Savit-
zky was surrounded by the guard two
days ago in neighboring village, and
after fight that lasted for four hours,
all four were killed. One member of
the guard lost his life.
Savitzky, who was a high school stu.
dent when he took to brigandage, had
been the terror Of the police of the
provinces of Tchernigov and Mohilev
for several years, but he was a source
of amusement to the rest of Russia
on account of his daredevil exploits.
He delighted in playing fantastic
tricks on the police. He masqueraded
under their very noses, and pitted his
ingenuity against theirs by announc-
ing in advance the crimes he intend
ed to commit. He was almost invari-
ably successful.
He repeatedly disguised himself
and Joined the detachments sent out
to search for him without the authori
ties being the wiser. Once, on q
wager, he visited the Governor of this
province and various other officials
disguised as priest. 1t was his Gus
tom to rob only the rich, and he dis
eributed his spoils among the peasan
try with lavish hand. He finally
was betrayed by a member Of his
band.

But we have used the cage to very
good advantage in catching swarms
just coming out. One or two Of them
are kept handy in the yard; and If a
swarm is seen coming out, one of
these cages is clapped Immediately
over the hive from which it is COM
ing. Even If some of the bees have
gone out they will soon come back
and cluster around outside while the
rest of their companions are cluster
ed inside
In the drawing here shown 1t will
be observed that the swarm is cluster
ed on top Of the cage. AS soon as they
are all out, the cage and all is picked
up at the intersection of the cross
pieces at the top, set over the hive
ready to receive them, when the cage
is given jounce on the ground. A
little later on it is given another
bump until the bees have entered
their new home.
OF course, this method of catching
a swarm Just as it is coming out is
not new; but sometimes old things
need to be resurrected until prospec-
tive users begin to see their value.
This cage is one of the new old de-
vices that should be made up for next
seasons use.

honey are produced; but If one is

KILLS WOLVES IN NOVEL WAY
Black Hills Rangers Play II Low Down
on Wild Pests.

Sturgis, S. Dak.-As a result of a
trick played by brainy Government
employees it is likely that the old
range country this side Of the Mis-
souri, River will at last be rid Of q
great many of the wolves that have
been the terror of stockgrowers.
Under direction from Washington,
rangers of the Black Hills forest re.
serve set traps in which they caught
something over 100 wolves, without
seriously injuring them. Then these
wolves were confined In an enclos-
ure, surrounded by high fence, and
infected with the mango.
After the disease had made good
headway the animals were released.
As a result, farmers are finding dead
wolves, and others are so weak and
emaciated that they are easily killed.
