Praise for Yellow Hammer.

Few birds have so many scandals
connected with their names as the
yellow hammer has in England, where
the old wives used to tell that the
scratches and ~hieroglyphics on its eggs
were the handwriting Of old Nick him
self. They do say, too, that this bird
drinks a drap o. the deevil's blood
every Monday morning" certainly a
bad way to begin the week. So far
as I can learn the yellow hammer is
really a harmless chap. I've always
loved the name given by the Italians

decorations, in ratings, door knockers,
lanterns, and heraldic insignia.
Shields, men in armour, gonfalons,
and weapons figure in brass or copper

separate mansions. 1t is said that the
impetus given to metal work was due
to French Protestant immigrants, who
fed to Montjoie. At any rate, there is
something quite French in the atmos-

desired. One interior feature deserv-
ing mention is the treatment OF the
proscenium. which will be built in

extraordinary effects.
OF especial interest will be the

liquid arvon; apply it at night when
retiring; use enough to moisten the

BY morning, most if not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will completely

Highly Commended.
Very Little Capital Required
To Run Bee Colony.

Agriculture, while considered among
FARMERS as little more than a hobby.
IS worth millions of dollars to the
state, according TO L. V. Rhine, of the
Kansas State Agricultural college, who
talked this morning before the Kansas
Beekeepers' convention at the Cham
Der of Commerce. Rhine asserts that
ander present conditions the state has
aoout 10000 bee colonies, each col
ony producing an average of twenty
five pounds of honey annually. The
product, he declared, is marketable at
so cents a pound, making the honey
Production of the state alone worth
$1,125. 900.
''If proper attention and manage
ment were given beekeeping," said
Rhine. "Kansas would rank among the
first as a honey producing state.
Wherever alfalfa. white clover or
sweet clover is found in abundance,
bees can be kept on a paying basis"
= Good Yearly Income.
The average production for each
colony is at present only about twenty
five pounds of surplus honey annually
because of the poor attention shown
the hives, according to Rhine. If a
farmer or suburbanite would establish
about twenty-five colonies and give
them the proper care they would pro-
duce an average of 100 pounds of sur
plus honey each annually. The product
at the market price of 30 cents a
pound would yield a clear profit of
$3.50 a year. he asserts.
After declaring that the honey in
dustry would thrive wherever alfalfa
and clover are found, Rhine called at
tention to the fact that Kansas has
over one and one-half million acres of
alfalfa, and that clover is abundant in
the eastern part of the state. The
honey production, he pointed out.
would also be increased by sowing
white clover along roads and fence
rows and other waste lands.
