PLEASURE IN KEEPING BEES
No More Interesting Or Profitable
Business Connected With Farm
Best Keepers Are Women.
(By G. M. BENTLEY

(By c. M. BENTLEY
As q side line, considering the ex'
pense Of installation, there is no more
interesting and profitable business
than beekeeping. Not only IL this true
for the fruitgrower and farmer. but to
the residents of cities, those in mers
camille and professional lines. Some
OF the best beekeepers are women'
True It Is that time and attention and
preliminary knowledge are necessary;
but experience will be gained rapidly
when the living bees are studied in
connection with printed instructions.
A visit to an apiary conducted by .
practical beekeeper will furnish valu.
able suggestions and interest in the
work. No one who wishes to derive
the greatest pleasure and profit from
his bees should expect the little fel
lows to do good work uneless provid-
ed with suitable hives. Do not for
moment attempt to keep bees in hol.
low logs or plank boxes; instead have
modern hives which can be opened
from time to time so that the true
condition of your bees may be studied.
Surplus honey may be taken of with
out destroying your bees, or even dis.
turbing them. Should your bees be-
come diseased it will be an easy mat
ter, with a separable hive. to inspect
them and determine the cause.
Like all other industries when first
undertaken, beekeepers should begin
in q simple way. II you are not

SOME LESSONS IN FLOWING
Burrows Should BE Kept Straight az
Possible, Avoiding TrianoIes or
eellows-Shaped PIeces
By J. q. sTEIN.),

By J. q. sTEIN.)
There are different ways to plow.
One way is straight. and the other
must be crooked, Of course.
By the straight way is meant keep
ing the burrows straight as possible.
and square each piece SO there will
not be any triangles or bellows-shaped
pieces.
Have the field true on all sides:
that IL, 1t may be longer one way
than the other, but each side should
be straight, SO IL you pillow straight
when you start you will have the dead
burrows even and no wedges at the
end.
There will also be no odd shaped
pieces In the center to make q lot
of extra turning.
The crooked way IL used by many.
who start q furrow any old place on
one end of the field and drive to the
other end. without mark to 80 by.
A little crook with people Of this kind
does not seem to be Of much import
ance, but crooked burrows take extra
time and are q nuisance in general.
Another thing which saves much
time, particularly IN harvest, Is Z
space which should be left between
the fence and the field unplowed
This should be about 16 feet wide, and
should be sown to grass. This strip
will save going through the gra1r
with a binder. and back, and 1t also
saves the hired man q lot of extrs

passed out Of existence. The turkey ra1de with

try. Usually the turkey IL q tough bird. which
was purchased cheap BY the proprietor OF tho
saloon (for the rafhe usually takes place there).
The rafae, OF course, draws . crowd Of men. who
incidentally patronize the bar during tho pro
ceedings. Another sportive feature Of Thanks
giving no longer In vogue was the shooting
match. where live turkeys tied to sticks were
used This cruel practice was abandoned be-
cause the New England clergy objected. not on
account Of it, cruelty but because It kept the
men away from the church service. This reason
seems to At in with the idea Of the men back In
the seventeenth century who. while they were
eating Thanksgiving dinner Of venison. discov-
cred that the deer had been killed on Sunday.
They at once sent for the Indian and had him
publicly whipped. and also compelled him to
return the money which he had been paid for
the deer. This being DONE they at once re-
sumed their dinner and finished up tho venison.
New York city is responsible for the strangest
Of all Thanksgiving customs. and one which has
only recently died out. Young men and boys
used to dress themselves in fantastic garb and
parade the streets-hundreds Of the boys wear
ing their sisters old clothes, their faces smeared
with paint and their heads covered with wigs.
AS late as 1885 they held parades and made the
street hideous with their humping drums and
blaring trumpets. In 1870 this queer perform.
ance took on the dignity Of political parade and
prizes were distributed to the companies wearing
the most unique clothing. Senator william M.
Tweed, the famous political boss Of that period.
was the donor Of prize OF $500 in gold. This
custom was undoubtedly a survival OF Guy
Fawkes days. carried out on a later day In the
year: for some unknown reason It was practiced
only In New York city.
Thanksgiving has always been day Of char
ity. and In the old days It was considered bad
luck to turn even tramp from the door. and
today our friendly INNS almshouses and CHART.
able institutions have their turkey dinners. usual
ly gifts from charitable people. Our PRISONS too
serve their inmates with hearty meal and have
some sort Of service Of praise. Tho customs Of
the great national holiday may have changed
somewhat. yet the spirit Of the first Thanksgiv

praise Of the twentieth century, spirit Of
thankfulness to God for his mercy and kindnee,
