Predictions of Much Value in Fall
and in Spring.
Instance of Importance of Service Re-
lated by New York Apieulturists
Who Used Telephone to In
form Neighbors.

fPrepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
BeekeeperS are dependent on wealth
er conditions to prevent large winter
losses, part of which occurs if they do
not know when to put their bees in the
cellar in the fall, or if the bees are
removed from winter quarters too
early in the spring. On the other
hand, it is advantageous to give the
bees the benefit of cleansing flights as
soon as possible in the spring and as
late as possible before cold weather
sets in. Close attention is paid to the
weather forecasts, especially In the
northern states.
An instance of the way in which the
weather bureau of the United States
Department of Agriculture co-operates
with beekeepers occurred recently in
New York state. There are approx
mately $4,000 beekeepers there, half of
whom winter their bees in cellars.
When the weather map indicated the
approach of severe weather, with no
indications for q bee flight in sight,
kilograms were sent, by the state ex-
tension aplculturist to secretaries of
20 county ard regional associations.
These men in their turn were pre-
pared to telephone key men who would
telephone beekeepers In their own To-
callties. In this way most of the bee
keepers who winter their bees In Gel
lars were reached.

WHEN TO TELEPHONY

1t is a bad plan that admits OF no
modifica tion.-Publius Syrus.
TN THESE days almost every sort
i of invitation comes to us over the
telephone. A few years ago 1t would
have been regarded as in bad form
to ask friends to dinner in this way
and a hostess would not have invited
her friends to a card party over the
telephone, but now in most sets and
in most localities this sort Of thing is
permitted.
However. there are objections to
the telephone invitation at any time.
There is always the chance that 1t
will not be correctly understood and
little misunderstanding have been
known to result from the misunder-
stood telephone invitation.
Then there is some difficulty in hav-
ing practically no time to decide
whether or not 1t is really possible
to accept an invitation. Another
tentative engagement may be pending.
The busy mother sometimes has first
to find out whether or not she can
get some one to whom she can en-
trust her children when she Is gone.
The man has to see whether he can
be sure not to have to work that
night. And it is not always agreeable
to have to explain these difficulties,
or to say, 81 will see whether I can
come and will let you know in half
an hour or tomorrow morning"
Whereas when one has written in
vitation, although the answer should
be prompt and unconditional, still
there is time to think the matter over.

used when 1t would be far better to

If You Need a Medicine

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is PLAINTIFF article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says, take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root,
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.

AGNES

THE Greek word agos, signifying a
= matter of religious awe, gave the
adjective agnos, meaning sacred, pure,
and it, in turn, names the tree whose
twigs the Greek matrons strewe on
their beds during the festival of Deme-
ter, which the Romans called Agnus
Castus.
Incidentally, the Latin word for
lamb is agnus, and since this animal
was used for the sacred purpose Of
sacrifice, Agnes comes by her heritage
of purity and sanctity logically.
One of the first women to bear the
name of Agnes was the gentle Roman
maiden whose martyrdom named the
Church of st. Agnese. 1t is said to have
been built by Constantine on the spot
where she was put to the utmost proof
and retains an old mosaic, picturing
her clad only in her flowing hair, being
dragged along by brutal soldiers. An
other ancient church covers the cata-
comb where she was inferred, and the
story goes that while her relatives and
pilgrims who came to pay their hon.
age were weeping there one day she
appeared, suddenly, in radiant glory,
with lamb of spotless whiteness.
The gospel for st. Agnes day was
the parable of the ten virgins and,
since she was accused Of magic arts,
the English superstition arose that, by
watching and fasting on st. Agnes
Eve, maidens could discover their fate
in marriage; by praying nine times to
the moon, and fasting three ewes in
succession, they could secure whom
they would. Keats, in his exquisite
poem, 'The Eve of St Agnes" refers
to this superstition:
They told her how, upon st. Agnes Eve.
Young virgins might have visions of de-
light,
If ceremonies due they did Alright:
AS supperless to bed they must retire.
And couch supine their beauties, lily
white;
Nor look behind, nor sideways, require
OF Heaven with upward eyes for all thai
they desire.
Agnes Is popular In England, Scot.
land and, as a royal name, In France
and Germany. France calls her Agnies
Agneta is an English form; Agnese.
Agnesca and Agnete are Italian. The
Welsh form is Nest. The jewel as
signed to Agnes is the agate, which
gives courage and guards its wearer
from danger. 1t is consider a cure
for Insomnia and insures pleasant
dreams. Thursday is fortunate day
for Agnes and 2 talismanic number.
II she dreams of her jewel, it Is sign
OF journey. Her flower is the WILD
rose, sIgnifying simplicity.
