WHY MEAT is so HIGH.
A Few Expressions that Don't CIar-
ify Matters at All.

By this time, summing up the va
ness, it is possible to form remark
ably clear ideas of why we are pay
inG mere for meat than the resi-
dents Of most other places. The pa
tent and lucid explanations of the
retail dealers lead US to these def
mite conclusions:
The prices Of meat are no higher
in Providence than they are in Bos-
ton Or in any other community in
this part Of New England
The prices Of meat are noticeably
lower in Providence than they are
in Boston.
The reason why meat is higher in
Providence than in Boston and other
cities is because the people of Provi
dence eat more meat than anybody
else
Meat is higher in Providence be-
cause of the greedy farmers. The
farmer gets all the money.
The high price of meat in Provi-
dence is due to the high price of

deterioration in the Nquality of
steel. A cleaver does not last as
long as i. Gse1 to- Some markets
are compelled to get six new cleav-
ers year, where four were an am
pie supply five years ago.
The weather isn't what it used to
be, and so meat is higher.
Meat is high in Providence be-
cause Providence people have hab-
it OF not paying FOR it.
The reason is the high freight
rates. The railroads charge higher
rate from Chicago to Providence than
from Pascoag to Woonsocket.
Meat is high because of the grad.
ual disappearance of the clam and
the lobster
Providence people pay more for
meat than is paid by any 1ther peo-
pie because they love ne market
men and realize that TIE latter al
ways give them square deal.
The price Of meat in Providence is
higher than in Boston because it is
better meat

THE MoDocs.
Fifty Of the Tribe Now Living in
Indian Territory.

Placidly smoking the pipe Of peace,
apparently forgetful Of the eventful
past, about fifty Indians, relatives and
survivors of the renowned Modocs,
who took part in the most interest
ing Indian rebellion in American his
tory, are living on allotments near
Miami, l. T. These fifty are perhaps
the only survivors or relatives of the
once powerful tribe.
The Modocs, it will be remem-
bered, were an Indian tribe of north
ern California and southern Oregon
In 1872 they became turbulent and
refused to remain on their reserva-
tons. Gen. z. r. S. Candy, a vet
eran Of the Mexican and Civil wars,
was sent against them, but they, af-
ter firing on the United States forces,
retreated to the lava beds. The ad-
vance of the United States troops
was greatly impeded by the peculiar
topography of the country, and a
good many of them were picked off
by Indian sharpshooters concealed
behind the rocks and crags of the,
lava beds. Efforts were then made
to negotiate with them. and con-

SONG OF THE KETTLE.
Not Always a Happy One, but Hope
Exists.

Ever since man became civilized
enough to demand hot water for a
shave and woman became addicted to
the condolences of cosey tea, the
kettle with a swan-neck spout has
played the role of leading lady in
the melodrama Of domestic bliss.
Dickens opened up one of his most
popular stories with a dissertation
on how the teakettle began it. 1t
was the teakettle that gave the in
spiration for the steam engine. All
these years man has been consider
ing the teakettle as a sort of IDEAL
lied songbird OF household comfort,
whose activity was concurrent with
the purr of happiness in the breast
of every faithful wife.
1t transpires, however, that all is
not happiness that sings. Lulled
by the tactful housewifery behind
whose smile he sought not the
shadow, man has been suffering his

certain, all queen cells except one
may be cut out four or five days after
the issuance of the first swarm. At
the same time about one-third of
the remaining bees of the removed
colony may be shaken at the en-
trance of the hive containing the
swarm. This materially reduces the
population of the parent colony, but
the loss is soon made good by the
young workers emerging daily, and
the new queen which will issue from
the single queen-cell, spared when
cutting out cells, will soon restock
the hive with brood. The shaking
out of additional bees, coupled with
the removal of all queen cells but
one, will prevent for the time all fur
Their swarming from the given hive,
and in most instances end it for the

young to work as honey gatherers,
will, nevertheless, release from in
side work an equal number OF older
bees, enabling the latter to go out
as honey MISUNDERSTANDING
for April.

When the Bees Swarm

Hiving bees is comparatively
easy task when it is understood.
When swarm is seen issuing or in
the air, the best thing to do is to
simply wait a bit. At that time of
the year the weather is usually warm,
and rushing about to get tin pans to
peat and bells to ring is apt to get
one overheated or too much excited
to do that necessary to be done few
minutes later The bees will gather
in a clump on some tree or brush
near the apiary, and however for
midable they may seem gathered
together, nothing is more simple than
shaking them into a basket or box
from which they may be poured in
front Of the hive, just as one might
pour out a measure of grain. If any
stick to the basket it is only neces-
sary to give it bump on the ground
The bees will not harm you while in
this state. If the hive into which
they are to go has been standing in
the shade so that it is not overhead
ed and if there be plenty of ventila-
ton above and below. the little work
ers are almost certain to take pos
session at once and begin active
WORK.
There is, however, a simpler way
of securing the swarms than the one
described. This is done by having
the colonies placed several feet apart
on smooth lawn or yard and clip
ping one wing of each laying queen
so as to prevent her flying. The first
swarm from each hive is accom-
panied by the old queen, and if her
wing be clipped she will of course
fall in her attempted flight and then
may be secured in cage. The swarm
will then circle around few times
and return. The thing for the attend
ant at this time to do is to replace
the parent colony in by an empty
hive. The returning bees will enter
and the queen may be allowed to go
in with them, the cage being placed
with it's open end directly against the
entrance to insure this. Thus the
swarm is made to hive ITSELF The
parent colony having been removed
to new stand several feet distant
will rarely swarm again, but to make

bic and end it. In a few cases, a
second treatment is necessary. This
done, the scales will drop off.
Every farmer should own one or
more hand sprayers. They are cheap
at 81 each. Use it in spraying veg
etables, hogs, poultry-houses. Be-
ginning in February, the poultry
house should be sprayed with creolin
once, better twice, a week. Spray
the nests, the roosts, the top and the
sides of the house inside.
There is much money in poultry.
Systematically and richly fed, the
average cost of hen year is 81;
it will not go beyond $125 a year.
That means good treatment, produc-
tive of health and eggs.
