As bees are known to fly fr miles In quest of suitable fields of op eration. It Is clear that a single ounce of hotiey represents million of miles of travel. It Is no wonder that these In dustrious little Insects have earned the reputation of being "busy" bees. FIO. 1. A iikax rn.t.EB. TnE ICE BICYCLE. those of a sleigh.

As the duke of Wellington was stand ing one day opposite bis house in Picca dilly, waiting an opportunity to cross the street, an entire stranger to him of fered his arm to the duke to assist him in crossing. Although Wellington hated assistance of any kind, he accepted the stranger's arm, and the latter, having secured a passage by signing to the drivers of the vehicles to stop, conduct ed rbe great man In safety across the street "'I thank you, sir," 'said the duke, releasing his arm and proceed ing to his house door. But the stranger, Instead of moving off, raised his bat end delivered himself to-the following effect: "Your grace, I have passed a long and not uneventful life, but never did I hope to reach the day when I might be of the slightest assistance to the greatest man that ever lived." "Don't be a damned fool!" responded the duke, and turned on his heel. scale, the bunches were pulled by hand and placed in piles until thoroughly dried out. To-day large growers Use machines for cutting off the plants. A puller Is shown In Fig. 1. Two rows are pulled at the same time. The horl zontal knives run just beneath the sur ! face of the ground and cut off the stems. The tops ore brought close to gether by the rods above the knives, They can then be easily gathered up vt;ith a fork and placed In the shock Allow the shocks to remain In the field until thoroughly dried. The shocks after thorough drying can bo placed In a stack or a hay mow. Care must nl ways be exercised to prevent much packing while being stored, otherwise molding will ensue. Avoid tramping by placing a board for t lie operator to stand upon. When ready thresh, using a bean thresher. Small' lots are beaten out with a flail, and cleaned by means of n hand fanning mill. After threshing it pays to pick out the broken beans, also the discolored ones. Especially Is tills true where the crop Is raised for seed.- This may be accomplished by spreading out upon a white-covered table and removing the trash and defective beans. A number of machines have been Invented for ex pedltlng this work, ope of which Is shown in Fig. 2. The beans to be picked are placed In the hopper. A (orce feed passes them regularly through the hopper Into the perforated cylinder, where they are freed from dust and trash. They then foil upon a white canvas belt which Is moving slowly toward the operator. While on this canvas,. the discolored and broken specimens are easily seen and removed The perfect beans remain until they fall Into the spout provided to convey them to a sack or other receptacle.

Always In the fall the price of eggs goes up, partly because the supply de creases then, and also -because with cool weather those who- prepare eggs for keeping ,iu winter have more confidence and begin to buy extensively. We have often wished that no method had'ever been discovered for preserving eggs. Then the winter price would be always what It costs to produce eggs In win ter. Both the egg producer and the consumer would then be better satis fled. It really discourages the use of eggs to buy some and have them plain ly a trifle stale, not changed enough as the dealer will tell you to hurt them. The truth is that an egg not perfectly fresh is an abomination. If only such were sold in market there would be bet ter prices all the year round. But In such weather as we had in August an egg will spoil from the natural heat of the atmosphere In two days, so that It will not be fit to use. The refrigerator must be used more in keeping eggs, not to chill them, but to cool the tempera ture around them. Removing Unfruitful Trees. In every orchard there will be found some trees which are an Injury to the farmer every year they remain In their present position, producing nothing themselves and lessening the product of neighboring trees. All old orchards need more fertility and also more room for each tree to ripen and perfect Its I fruit. Removing trees that have for years cumbered the ground, taking room that might be worth something If It were out. Is often the best way to I restore orchards to productiveness.

When corn fodder Is cut while tho weather Ih Mt ill dry It will cure In bet ter shape and with less loss If put up in Hiiiall cocks rather than In stookn. The reason is Hint as days shorten and nights rapidly lengthen there Is not sunlight and warmth enough In the daytime to cure the stalks as rapidly as they should be. In the cock the stalks will heat, bringing the temperature up to 10(1 or more, night as well as day. If a little dry straw Is thrown on the cock so as to absorb the moisture at night, when the outside cold air condenses it, the stalks below It' will come out green looking, yet slightly softened from tho 1 beat to whch they have been subjected. Stalks fhus cured will be eaten much more readily than slalks that have dried up by lclng exposed In stooks to drying winds. All farmers have no ticed that In winter It Is the corn stalks that have been hen ted nnd even molded In the mow thnt will be preferred by cows to stalks that have been dried In the wind and without the heat needed to soften the outer shell of the stalk. The moist stalks are also more nutri tious, as in drying out the carbon In them turns Into woody fibre, nearly In digestible. In putting up the cocks they should be small, so as not to heat too much and blacken the stalks. For the same reason they should not be left long before being drawn to the barn or mow.

Barn Cisterns, It Is bad for stock to depend on water drawn from wells near barnyards, as it is sure after a term of years to be come contaminated. In all such cases a barn cistern with a filter at the out let through which the water is drawn offers better security of pure water than can be had from water taken from a well, some care must ue taken to prevent dust and dirt being washed in to the cistern from roofs. After thresh ing especially,- and In the fall when leaves are flying, the eave trough should be frequently cleaned so-that as little dirt as possible be washed Into a well. An average barn roof will In a year catch water enough to winter the stock that will usually be fed In the barn. Coming: of Autumn. Autumn wandered through the woodland Touching with his wand each tree; Summer stood reluctant, crying, Bring my beautips back to me."

Residents of the Mission District of San FranoUoo have for months been marveling over the. peculiar case of Mrs. Anna Uayford, the wife of Uioh ard Cayford, who resides at 813 Seven teenth street. Several years ago Mr. and Mrs. Cayford took np their resi dence in the Hawaiian Islands, where Mr. Cayford, who is by trade a black smith, applied himself diligently at his occupation, until at length he bad, by reason of his hard work- and frugality, placed himself and family upon a fair way to prosperity. He had begun to look toward to the enjoyment of a quiet, happy life npon the beautiful islands of, the Paoifio, and in his fancy bad built for himself and bis family a comfortable little home, nestled snugly among the deep and fragrant foliage of that distant land. His wife shared with him in the contemplation of the happiness that the future apparently bad in store for them. She had ar rived at the age at whiob rest and con tentment count for so much in a woman's life, when she was suddenly stricken with nervous prostration. Her condition beoame very serious, and ber physician advhted her that she must leave the islands if she wished to regain ber health. Acting npon this advice, Mr. Cayford disposed of .his business and removed to San Fran oisoo. Mrs. Cayford improved slightly with the obange of climate until July, 1893, when fine was Btricken bv par alysis of the left arm and leg, and was entirely deprived of the nse of those limbs, having to be carried about the I house by ber husband for a period. of two months. . She was treated for some time by a physician, but he was able only partly to relieve her. She was able to drag herself about the house, bnt there was no strength in either of the affected limbs. ' It was while she was in this condi tion that she noticed in a paper the ad vertisement of Williams' Pink Pills. She determined to pet a box of them and try them, thinking, as . she said, that at least she could not be injured by them. Mrs. Cayford tells of the relief she experienced from the time she began taking the pills, and her story is told in snob a plain, straight forward manner that it is given in her own words: "When I first began taking Wil liams' Pink Pills," said Mrs. Cayford, "I bad absolutely no strength in either limb of the left side of my body. The treatment of my pbysioian had partly relieved the paralysis, but after he bad applied all bis remedies I was still in a practically helpless oondition. Before I had taken one f nil box of the pills I began to feel a return of strength in the limbs that bad been so long useless. Feeling reassured by the first effeot of the pills npon me, I purchased a sec ond box, and continued to take them until I had need six boxes, when the last trace of paralysis bad left my body and I bad regained the fall nse of my limbs. Yon cannot imagine bow de lighted I was when 1 felt that my old time aotlvlty was returning. It re minded me of the days when I was so strong and healthy at my island home. I do not know what stronger testimony I oould give as to the merits of Wil liam's Pink Pills than to say that they have restored me to such a degree of strength that I now do all my own work without the least inoonvenienoe, whiob is as muoh as I ever did before I was stricken with paralysis. Bat that is not all. I almost forgot to say bow the pills bave relieved me of a certain hesitancy in speech, which has troubled me for years. My tongue used to become thiok, and 1 would lisp most dreadfully and oould not help my self. I nokioed that after I began tak- !ng the pills I could talk more easily, nd finally I was entirely relieved of the lisping that affected my speech. I bave taken the. trouble to recommend the pills to an old lady who is afSioted with paralysis. . I have not seen her sinoe she began taking them, bat ber husband told me, just the other day, that she had been greatly benefited by them." Mrs. Cayford'i friends are amazed at ber sudden recovery from such a se vere paralytic stroke, and stand in wonderment while she repeats the story of ber suffering and her cure. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills oontain all the elements necessary to give new life and richness to tbe blood and restore shattered nerves.

Mr. Lincoln Nelson, of Marshfield, Mo., writes: "For six years I bave been a sufferer from a scrofulous affection of tbe glands of my neck, and all efforts of physicians in Washington, D. C, Springfield, 111., and St. Louis failed to reduce the enlargement. After six months' constant treatment here, my physician urged me to submit to a re moval of the gland.
