Apiary Of f. G. Herman, Leonia, N. j.
bees in house-apiaries. When / open
one of these hives the bees do not fly
up with the same alacrity that bees
do from the hives that stand in the
sunshine.
The house contains twenty colonies
of bees in two tiers of hives. The
broad side of the house which is in
view faces eastward, and the end
southwark; there are no hives facing
the other two directions.
The hives In this house are known
by the name, Long Idea" They hold
crosswise, twenty Langstreth frames
each. They are expressly used for
extracting honey.
One row Of hives is set on frame
just high enough for me to be able to
raise the covers, and look into them
comfortably, and the other row rests
on the floor. / might add that the
hives are only one story, so there is
no use for queen-excluders, and no
tiering to be done.
There are no bees at large in the
house, excepting few which leave
while handling the combs, and these
quickly make their escape by way of
the windows, which are left open all
summer for ventilation. The netting
on the windows is so arranged that
the bees can leave the room, but can
not enter it.
The awning over the windows is TO
prevent the rain from coming in while
the windows are left open. The hive
entrances match the corresponding
slots in the sides of the house, and
when the bees enter the slot, or en-
trance, they go directly to their re-
spective hives.
Each alternate entrance is painted
dark color; this is for the purpose of
helping the bees to mark their right
hive.

of the bag. Mr. Dutney's invention
aims to overcome this defect by a
novel construction OF feed-bag, in
which The feed is stored in pockets at
each side and feeds automatically to
the bottom Of the bag. The bag is
open at the front and back except for
the shallow box at the bottom, thus
providing ample breathing space.
There is no waste of the grain, for it
is fed to the animal as he eats it, and
the feed is regulated so that he cannot
bolt his food The feed pockets are
very readily filled. The tongueless
buckles on the strap permit of adj
justing the bag sungly to any animal,
whether his head be long or short.

Tragic incident Of the Forest Fires Of
1910 In Idaho.
Overton W. Price. vice president Of

in his book THE Land We Live In"
tells this story Of heroic forest
ranger:

great drought and unusually high
winds was the worst for forest fires

ION the Occur dtAlene national for
est. in northern Idaho. Ranger Pulaski
had under him forty men. who after
many hours of hard work had got a
big fire practically under control. Sud
denly the wind strengthened until it
blew gale. 1t Immediately became a
question of saving the lives of the
men. The fire fighters were in deep
forest many miles from railroad and
far from any clearing.
Pulaski remembered that within a
mile Of where they were working there
was an abandoned mine shaft running
back about forty feet into the hillside.
He rushed his men to the shaft as
quickly as possible and told them as
they passed through their camp to
catch up their blankets as they ran.
The shaft reached. Pulaski hurried his
men into 1t and. packed like sardines,
they filed 1t up. Pulaski placed Trim
self at the opening, across which he
stretched blanket.
within few minutes after the
men were In the shaft the fire came.
The blanket at the opening caught.
and Pulaski jcrked it away and hung
up another. which caught in its turn.
The blanket caught again and again.
and each time Pulaski replaced it UNI
til toward the last he he'd the blanket
across the opening With his bare
hands.

would soon be overpowered and that
his men would rush to their certain
death. he drew his revolver and said
that he would kill the first man who
broke away.
I'm perhaps twenty minutes the
worst of the fire passed by. Five of
the men in the shaft were dead from
suffocation; the thirty-fve others were
alive. Pulaski was blinded and seri-
ously burned upon the face and arms.

was partly restored. Had not his hero

PROVIDING SHELTER FOR HAY
Practical Method for Protecting Top

There are many farmers who pro

lowing manner: Posts from twelve to
sixteen feet high are set into the
ground at corners and along sides of
a parallelogram, says the Iowa Home

around tops Of posts and they are
boxed down two or three feet and a
roof is put on as covering. The
hay is then Kicked beneath the roof,

BRITISH TO APPEAL TO HAGUE
Understood Instructions Are Now on
Way to Washington.

London, Sept 3.-It was officially an
nounced that the British government
would make a formal demand upon
the United States government for
arbitration of the British claim that
the Panama canal toll act. as passed
recently by the United States congress
and signed by President Taft, violates
the Hay-Pauncefote treaty.
Nothing definite is known here be-
yond the brief official announcement
that the formal demand for arbitra-
tton will be made, but It is believed
that instructions are already en- route
to the British embassy at Washington
concerning the situation.
The British demand will be made
under the arbitration convention Of
1908 Great Britains contention will
be that the question at issue does not
affect the vital interests, independence
or honor Of the United States and that
therefore It is clearly within the scope
Of the 1908 convention. since the mat
ter to be arbitrated is not an act Of
! congress, but an Interpretation OF ard-
Gle of the Hay-Pauncefose treaty.

BAlL0TIN6 UNUSUALLY HEAVY
Fight centers on coverrorship-4slieve
That 10000 Votes Will Ee Pollsd.
Progressives Claim They viii
Make Fine showine-old
Guard Confident.

Burlington, VT, Sept. 3.-Rallies in
scores of towns and cities brought to
an end a political campaign for the
governorship Of Vermont unprecedent-
ed by the interest aroused and of bit
terness engendered. Today vote APP
proaching 10000 is prophesied- of which
State Chairman of the Progressive
Party c. d. Thompson of Brattleboro
claims 10000. That this is the high
water mark is evidenced by the more
conservative claims of other bull moose
leaders.
Twelve thousand and upward will be
a virtual victory for the third party
movement, and to keep this figure down
is the desperate endeavor Of the old
guard Republicans. They will make
no statement other than the claim that
their ticket will be elected.
For a quarter Of century the aver
age vote in Vermont on n presidential
year has been 63,0O0. Giving the Pro
hibitionists and Socialists 5000, 10000
voters are left to be divided between
Allen NJ. Fletcher of Cavendish, Re
Johnsbury, Democrat, and the Rev.
Frazer Metzger OF Randolph, Progress
sive. Two years ago the Democratic
nominee for governor pollSd r7yO00
votes. Mr.. Howe is expected 10 exceed
this number because of the strong VII
son sentiment in many parts Of the
state
Legislature May Decide
That the Democrats went to the polls
today with unbroken ranks Is virtually
conceded. If they succeed in bringing
their vote up to 10000 the 10000 left
for the regular Republicans and Pro
gressives will likely be split in $4,000
for Fletcher and 1900 for Metzger,
and the election will be thrown into
the Legislature.
Vermont has not been 30 shaken up
in years and a surprising vote either
way will not upset the knowing poll
ticians. The Prohibition candidate for
governor is the master Of the state
grange, Clement F. Smith. The Social
list candidate for governor, Fred w.
Suitor of Barre, has not made an
active campaign.
The alleged tremendous lodging
record OF Mr.. Fletcher, whose millions
have been paraded before the voters
by both Progressives and Democrats,
and the continued statements that he
came to Vermont from Indianapolis
with the purpose Of becoming gov
ernor, are the most vulnerable points
In his political armor. The rest of his
ticket bids fair to be elected.
It was the wish of the Republicans
to conduct the campaign on state
Issues, of which there are practically
none that interest the Progressive
party. The latter stand for wide open
primaries and It is this that the old
guard fears. The rank and file wish
TO have something 10 say about who Is
nominated for the governorship, which
they have never had heretofore. The
Progressive movement has been great
ly aided by the brilliant array Of bull
moose orators who have covered the
state.

disfigured when a child of two.
The boys burns healed so that his

cred so that he could not turn his
head without revolving his whole
body. The only sounds he could utter
were like the wimperings of an infant.
The boy, whose home is In Nonesses,

DIR. Roberts performed many intri-
cate operations on the boys chin and
finally restored its free movement
he had to graft skin from other parts
of his body upon his face. Finally
the lip was replaced by surgery.
The last of the operations was
finished a month ago, and the wounds
