WHEN BEES STING

The bee Is by q great many people
considered a very vicious little in
sect, who likes cothing quite so well
as to sting someone, says a writer
in the Michigan Farmer. But this
is not the case. One noted author
says of them, Bees are, on the
contrary, the pleasantest, most 60
cial, genial and good-natured little
fellows one meets in all animated
creation, when one understands
them.'' He then goes on to prove
this by saying that you can tear
their combs to bits before their eyes
and rob them of their hard-earned
stores without a bit of resentment
on their part, etc. While l should
hardly 60 as far as this, perhaps,
still when we think of it there is
usually one or two, or perhaps a
dozen, real cranks to be found in
the average apiary and many times
not single one out of the millions
there. Can you say as much of any
other creatures? To be sure, bees
sting, but the man who understands
them will not get stung nearly so
often as the one who does not, and
who attempts to do the same work
among them. This is not as some
people think, because the bees know
them, but because the bee keeper
knows them and knows when to do
the work and get along with them
peaceably. During a dearth of
honey, bees are like human beings,
are liable to get mad when things
are not coming their way and then
if some great monster comes and
takes what little they have got from
them they are apt to resent it. Or,
after storm when the bees have
been working hard for some time
and are tired and then have been
forced into idleness and i'll humor,
they are good things to let alone.
Nothing will make bees more vici-
Gus than to let them get to quarrel
ing over scraps of honey that have
been left around. If you pinch a
bee she will quite naturally sting.
So, after all, it SINNERS down to
this: If you don't want to get
stung, don't work any more than is

PROVIDING NESTS

A fault with the poultry houses
on many farms is the too limited
number of nests provided for the
hens. The number III actual ex-
istance is often cut down to few
by the filthy condition most of them
are in. There is an unsanitary
condition at which the hen revolts
and she goe~ elsewhere to lay. An
investigation by the government of
houses for poultry on farms showed
that the average number of nests for
each 100 hens was eleven.
One of the results of too few nests
is that the hens will steal" their
nests away. They will prefer to go
about the straw stack, underneath
the barn, in the grass or anywhere
to get away from the disturbance
caused ny so many hens seeking
the same nest. The hiding of the
nests almost invariably results in
financial loss for often the eggs are
not found and when they are dis
covered they have deteriorated in
quality, or should the mother sit on
them the hatch is almost always of
a low per cent. 1t is better to keep
the hens laying in the chicken house,
a matter which is easily accom-
plished by providing at least one
nest for every four laying hens in
the flock.
The second result from the lack
of nests is the production of dirty
eggs. Of course, this is not neces-
sary where much care is exercised
in keeping the nests 1eflled with
chaff, but when so many hens lay
therein and fight for first place the
eggs are certain to be trampled up
on and the nest gets filthy in
much shorter time than where ade-
quate nest room is provided. Dirty
eggs always sell for less in dis
eliminating market. Again, the
eggs are kept warm ty the constant
presence of hens. Through their
heat bacterial growth proceeds Wig
orously. These faults are overcome
by supplying the requisite number
of nests, which should be made clean
and kept 80.

come, when all the ere ations of
mems hands shall have crum-
bled; when this earth shall have
passed away and the great orb
of light has grown dim, nothing
will be left of all the things
that we have builded except the
characters that we have formed
amid these scenes Of time. All
the good or evil that we
have done will be garnered
in our souls. All the activ-
tiles of life, therefore, must
be interpreted in terms of the
spirit, and the value of the out
put of the business man is to be
measured, not in terms of gold,
but by its results in human char
acter. This is the business of
business, and we are lost indeed
if we can see nothing in cur
business life except a ceasless,
heartless scramble for wealth;
nothing in the concerns that we
administer except a means of
personal power and influence.
The first business of the buSi=
ness man should be the building
of human character. 1t is bat
tling with the storms that works
toughness into the fiber of the
oak, and it is battling with the
storms and adversities Of life
that work gianthood in the
characters of men.
There are many who think
that business is simply a money
making matter and that he who
makes the most, no matter how
he makes it, is the most success
full. If he can only make money,
the methods he persues are not
at all important. The speaker
held, however, that, while it is
perfectly right and legitimate to
make money, so long as it is ac-
quired honestly, there should
always be a higher object in
view the serving Of the COM
munity- and that every business
in the long run should be mea-
sured not wholly by what the
owner gets out Of it in the shape
of gain, but by what it does for
humanity. That every man is
entitled to his reward only as he
does faithful work through his
business or profession, one of the
tests of a mans success being
whether he is a better man with
his thousands than he was years
before with his hundreds.

Gasoline Explosion
Burns Bridge Builder Badly at
Long Hollow.

Last Sunday morning George
K. Hanson, foreman of the con-
crete crew at work on the new
bridge at Long Hollow, was
brdIy burned about the face. He
had started a fire, which failed
to burn fast enough. Catching
up a can of gasoline, Hanson
poured some of it onto the fire to
hurry matters. The result was
an explosion of the can, right
in the mans hands, and his face
was badly burned. Instinctively
he threw his hands over his ewes
and that is probably what saved
his sight from injury. While
Hanson was all ablaze, his COM
panions doused him in the creek
and saved him from worse
fate.

Burke Intercedes
for HIM With President.
Washington, Nov. 25, Among
the callers at the White House
last week was Representative
Burke of South Dakota, who, in
behalf of citizens of this state,
appealed to the president for
communication of the sentence of
Charles L. Hyde of Pierre, S. D.
Hyde. who is said to be a mil
honaire and interested in many
enterprises in South Dakota,
was convicted in the United
States courts of fraudulent use of
the mails in connection with real
estate transactions.
Hyde's advertising, it was
held by the jury that convicted
him, misrepresented the facts as
to the sale of town lots ard he
was therefore guilty of fraud.
He was sentenced to one year in
Fort Leavenworth prison and to
a fine of $4,000. 1t is claimed
that the prison sentence is un-
fair and excessive and that it
ought to be commuted to permit
ting Hyde to pay the fine. The
president referred the South Da=
kotan to Attorney General Wick
ersham, who will make a report
on the case.
