| BOX FOR CATCHING sWARMs
Bees immediately Take Advantage of Improvised "HoIloW Tree" and
 Cluster in and About 1t.

Most beekeepers still prefer to catch swarms by using ladder. saw, etc., and by cutting down the branch to which the bees are suspended. Messrs Roberts and Hartwick, two Illinois bee keepers, did not like the ordinary swarm catcher, nor did they like the exertion connected with "shinning up trees"
 They have devised swarm box which by means of pole is inserted against the swarm cluster. The box is made hollow and long. They assert that the swarm will immediately take advantage of this improvised hollow tree" and cluster in and about it, when they can be lowered and shaken in front of a beehive.-American Bee Journal

SAVE BEST SEED CORN
Careful Selection Will Increase
 Crop Yield.
Everyone Interested in Industry Should Unite in Campaign for Day on Which to Perform Duty
 College Will Aid.

An increase of 1 per cent in the av- craze stand and yield of corn will amount to a million dollars increase in value, but careful field selection of seed corn can be made to result in an increase of from 5 to 10 per cent in next years crop, according to k. H.. Baker of the Missouri College of Agri- culture. MT. Baker bases this on ex- periment-station figures, comparing the results of field selection with ordinary crib selection, and feels that every day spent iE judicious field selection can easily be made to bring the corn grow CT from $10 to $50 in increased yields.
 Farmers clubs, industrious farmers
 and everyone interested in corn-grow- ing should unite in a campaign for seed-corn selection day on which ev- eryone concerned will see that work is started along this line in his own field. Those who know how to select can meet with those who do not and help them, or if there is sufficient interest, the college will send a man to help in this matter. Many of the clubs have

Dr. Louis Henry Levy, in Pictorial Review says:
 Though the lean individual may be the more agile and vigorous, leanness is also associated with those of a nervous temperament. It is not al-- ways a desirable condition, since. it prematurely ages the face by the early appearance of wrinkles. It is also the. accompaniment of chemically diseased stomachs, resulting, from disturbed digestion and poor absorption of the. digested foods.
 "The foods which are best adapted for the lean are those that have been denied to the obese person-the starches, sugars, and fats, but suffi- cient care must be exercised to pre- vent disturbing an entirely good stom- ach. Let the lean one eat we'll of the, rich foods and sever relations with the sour and spicy ones.

A club of 25 farmers in any good corn section may easily grow 50,0OO bushels of corn next year, if conditions are nor nal.

Ugh! Calomel makes you sick. Take a dose of the vile, dangerous drug to- night and tomorrow you may lose a days work.
 Calomel is mercury or quicksilver which causes necrosis of the bones Calomel, when it comes into contact with sour bile crashes into it, break ing it up. This is when you feel that awful nausea and cramping.

sHRINKAGE OF A CORN CRIB
Varies So Greatly In Accordance With Amount of Moisture 1t Is Hard
 to Give Amount.

The shrinkage that will take place in crib of corn from the time it is cribbed in the fall until 1t Is sold varies so greatly in accordance with the amount of moisture the corn con- tains when placed in the crib, and also the ventilation of the crib, that 1t is impossible to state percentage of shrinkage that will apply with cer- tainty to any particular crib of stored corn Various tests show that the shrinkage in cribbed corn approximates 15 per cent for the first year and 20 per cent for two years.
 Corn that has not been kept dry during the winter is usually disposed of in early spring, for the reason that it is likely to spoil upon the approach of warm weather.

BEEF ON HIGH-PRIcED LAND
Big Increase in Yield of Corn Noted In Kansas Where Attention Is
 Given to Cattle.

Investigations in the state of Kan sas according to w. A. Cochel of the Kansas Agricultural college, show that the average acre of that state pro- duces 32 to B bushels of corn, while the average acre on cattle farms pro- duces between 55 and 60 bushels.
 They also show that the average value of the farm land of the state is S60 compared with the average value of the beef cattle farms of $100 an acre.
 Apparently 1t is not so much a ques- ton of whether one can afford to raise beef on high-priced land as whether one cannot afford to raise it.

Therefore, I began taking it, and in a short while I began to improve, my health and strength began to be built up, and also my flesh.
 After my first child's birth, over two years had passed by, but the . didn't appear. My husband got me some medicine from our doctor, which did me no good, tho he intended 1t to bring the about, for he said the blood was going to my head and caus- ing it to ache, which also helped to make me so dizzy. So I turned to my old friend Cardui and began talk ing it and soon I was perfectly well and strong, gradually gained flesh until weighed about 195 lbs, and was so stout and strong, better than I ever had been."
