The Hum Of the Hive.

Every progressive beekeeper sepa-
rates the light colored clover honey
from the dark fall honey.
A grove on the north of an apiary
helps to insure successful wintering.
The trees break to great extent the
force of the winters wind.
The old eight frame hive is largely
a thing Of the past, the ten frame hive
having taken its place, but a twelve
frame hive would be even better.
Never extract honey before at least
two-thirds of the comb is sealed or
capped over; otherwise the honey is
not ripe enough and will ferment
The best way to strain honey is to
extract it. Strained honey is never
satisfactory, mixed as it always is
with pollen and often with dead bees
and blood.
The Italian bee is at present the
most popular because of its ability
to work and it's comparative mild
ness of temper. 1t is quieter than the
black bee, which formerly was the IA
vOrite.
AS soon as the comb honey is re-
moved from the hives it is best to
scrape the propolis or bee glue from
the section boxes at once, and nothing
is better for this purpose than a sharp
butcher knife, but care must be taken
not to cash the surface of the combs.

will be profitable for you to read that
little national dairy magazine, KIM
balls Dairy Farmer. 1t is published
semi-monthly at Waterloo, Iowa, the
hub of the great dairy region Of the

printed on good book paper and hand
sOmely illustrated by actual photo
graphs taken exclusively for it. Its
purpose is educational and to the man
who would make his cows yield larger
profits, this little magazine is indis-
pensable. Regardless of how many
other papers the farmer may take, this
one is worth many times its price to
him. The subscription price is only
80 cents a year, and the paper will

An EnqIish Apology,

Shortly after Richard Croker estab-
lished his home in Ireland an English
periodical stated that he had made his
first step in the world knocking out his
gymnastic instructor in a fiercely
fought three round battle. This story
greatly insulted the eX-boSs, who has
grown so respectable that he shudders
at the thought of a prizefght. He
wrote and demanded an apology,
whereupon the English editor apollo
gized prOfusely, stating that "Mr. Gro
ker has so many other and higher
claims to celebrity" etc.
1t is possible that the Englishman
was indulging his sense of humor?-

Back to the Farm For Mr.. Brown.

Back to the arm For Wr. Brown.
To be just plain Farmer Brown is
the ambition of William c. Brown,
president of the New York Central rail
way system. In a recent address he
admitted that the lure of the land was
calling and intimated a purpose soon
to retire from railroading and pursue
the simple life of husbandry. Mr..
Brown comes honestly by his love for
the soil, for in his boyhood he followed
the plow, and the smell of freshly
turned sod is perfume to his nostrils.

Louis d. Rrandeis, who recently told
the railroads Of the country that he
could show them how to save $1,000
600 a day, has been labOrer for the
public veal for sixteen years without
pay. Mr.. Brandeis' hobby is humani-
ty. Whenever he can lend his aid to
the solution of Il sociological or eco
nomic problem affecting the common
people he does-gratis. His warfare
for the poor started in 1894, when he
instituted proceedings against malad-
ministration of certain public charities
in Boston. He won after a long fight.
Next he secured the passage of. law
in Massachusetts which in its final re-
suit has reduced the cost of life in
suranCe to workingmen by fully 20
per cent throughout the entire coun-
try. There was no fee for this work.
Personally Mr.. Brandeis IS a medium
sized, wiry man, with piercing gray
eyes and hair streaked with gray. He
was born in old Kentucky, but most
of his life has been spent in Boston.
He is partner in an old established
and prosperous law firm of that city.
He was married twenty years ago, and
he and Mrs. Brandeis live on the same
modest scale as when they began
housekeeping.

BREAKING A CUSTOM.

How the Salt Shaker Was Introduced
to the Spaniard.
Until few years ago no Spaniard
had on his dining table any other re-
ceptacle for salt than the old style
open cellar. An enterprising Briton
saw this, noted that the salt was al
ways dirty and gummy and deter
mined to introduce certain famous
salt shaker from which clean salt
would run freely in the dampest
weather. Brayely he started to tour
Spain for the company.

SETS GOOD EXAMPLE
TO FOLLOW
c. 8. Abel lnstaiIs Standard Type of
White Way Lights in Front Of
the Dodge Theatre.

Those who saw the bright. upright
tungstens burning last night at Fourth
and Main were satisfied with the style
Of white way lamps that have been
installed in front OF the Dodge thea
tire by C. 8. Abel, manager Of the
moving picture house.
-Four of the lights surrounding a
larger central globe are sixty watt
lamps and the fifth and largest is d
hundred candle power. The illumin-
alton obtained from this single post,
serves as an excellent example Of the
appearance Main Street will present
when the city council passes an ordi-
nance for the placing OF such light
ing system on the main business
street. Mr.. Abel has installed tho
lights in front OF the theatre as an H.
lustration and the same appears to be
equally as good as the best manufac-
tured.
The new lighting post is known as
the Waterloo Standard and is the
kind used in Waterloo. Iowa. and
Minneapolis, MINI. The arms on
which the four lower lights rest, can
be turned to an inverse position in
stead of standing up as they now are,
But here it is to be remembered as
matter of economy. that the life of
tungsten is heightened by having
the light straight up instead of in
verified, a fact proven by investigation
n al &r{N
The lamps on the Abel post are
wired in two circuits, the lower
lights being extinguished at 10 o'clock
or at any time optional with the oper-
ator and the top or largest light burns
all night. When a general system OF
white way lighting is adopted by the
| city, the lower lights of post will be
turned off at midnight and the tor
lamp will burn alone thereafter.

Many Worn Out Men and Women
Have the Wrong Idea as to What
Makes Them sick-Trouble
Is Result Of
STRAIN AND WORRY
Nervous Debility Holds Countless
Numbers In its Grasp In All
Large Cities Of the
Country.

Every large city in the United States
contains countless numbers of worn
out, half sick men and women with
poor appetites and bad digestions.
They have no energy. little vitality
and are respondent and nervous.
They have cold feet, sallow complex
ions and they say they are run down. +"
The right name for the trouble Is
nervous debility and 1t is produced by
the strain and hustle and worry of
modern life.
Many think Indigestion causes the
half bad feeling which afflicts them
and they take something to digest
their food.'' This is all wrong 1t
may afford temporary relief but the
cause of their stomach trouble is
the nervous, debilitated condition OF
the entire system and this must be
overcome before the stomach will
perform its functions properly.
Nervous debility is a modern all
ment caused by city life. There is a
modern tonic that overcomes this
Vita. If you are afflicted with nerv.
GUS debility don't wait another day
feeling miserable. stop dosing your
stomach. Get this great tonic and you
will be astonished how quickly your
strength and ambition will return and
how your stomach trouble will disap
pear.
iona Vita is sold on trial and must
bring back your health or the price is
refunded.
Lees Rhubarb Laxative is the as
sistant remedy to iona Vita and is
used in cases of chronic constipation
There is nothing equal to rhubarb as
a natural harmless laxative Harsher
drugs strain the intestines and leave
them weak. Rhubarb acts as tonic
and gives them strength. iona Vita
