In this parasitic State it has no need

Condition as tt was bfore the legumes

Olant Eaat India Been,
One of our acquisitions with the
Philippine Islands ta likely to be a new
species of the honey bee. It Is one
half larger than the American honey
bee, with a much greater capacity for
making both wax and honey. In Its
wild srrate It builds combs on large for
est trees or ta clefts of the rocks In the
mountains of the Island. As It goes np
(he mountains for a distance of 6,000
icet, tt Is believed that ft can be acctl
mated so as to live in the United States.
Mr. Fiwhk Benton of tbe Department
of Agriculture went to the Philippines
to inreetlgftte these new kind of bees.
He reports tbero not to be easily Irri
tated, unfortunately a swarm which
Mr. Benton captured In the jungle died
oi its passage across the Pacific. These
bees have a wasp-like figure, with or
ange-colored bands encircling its body.
The combs it makes are much larger
than those made by ordinary bees. If
ft can be domesticated In hives tbe
hrvM must be very large ones. In fact,
a roonl would scarcely be too large, and
It might accommodate several swarms.
Care of a Uorae,
The animals should be first watered,
then fed, and white they are eating
their com the bed Is turned up, the
stalls mucked out, the feet picked out
with tihe picker, and the Boles, frogs
and walls well washed with the water
brush, the shoes being examined to see
that they are firm and serviceable.
Thorough grooming with brush, curry
comb, sponge and linen rubber.
SIctt and idle horses require grooming
as much aa working ami amis do to keep
them tn health. If horses got more effi
dent grooming there would be fewer
Complaints as to "surfeit, " pimples,
blotches, hidebound, roughness and
other things that affect the health and

there would also be lees demand for

sary through the akin becoming on

tion.

Oalnar Raw Bone on the Farm.
The quickest and simplest method of
utilizing old bone la to bum them in
the ki-tehen ove and carefully save
the ashes. In this way you get In the
ash all the phosphoric acid and lime
there is 111 the bone, but you lose tbe
nitrogen, which goes off as gas tn the
smoke, whore the quantity of bones Is
small, however, and cupeeittlly if the
facilities required for other methods of
using them are not at hand, and If the
bones cannot be sold at a fair price,
this burning ot them is far better than
to permit them to go to waste. Bone
makes an Intense heat, and as far as It
goes la a Valuable fuel. Every thrifty
farmer aavea all the wood ash from
the bouse, for ft is so rich in phosphoric
acid ana potash that not a pound of it
should be wasted, but every bit of wood
ash (whether containing bone ash or
not) should be religiously preserved.
Every intelligent and thrifty farmer
knows the value of A dressing of rich
Wood ash and fine bone meal. Except
for the lose of nitrogen by burning, this
home-made combtoaition of wood ash
and bone ash will accomplish nearly as
good results as the famous unleached
wood ash and bone meal mixtures-

Hoard's Dairyman.
Very many people are fond of a good
garden, but think they can not keep
chickens and have a garden, too. The
Maine farmer tells of a ponltryman who
Is noted for success tn producing re co-1
taDies. lie grows twice as much on an
acre as formerly. He keeps 100 fowls,
and has two lots of ground, one being
given up to fowls, while tho other Is
used for garden, the lots being about
one and A quarter acres each. The next
year be turns the fowls on the garden
plat and uses for a garden the plAt then
vacated by the fowls. By thus giving
up the garden plat to poultry every
alternate year he keeps the soil very
fertile.
Cream left to Itself will spontaneous
ly become sour; this Is the result of the
growth of lactic acid bacteria, which
feed upon the milk sugar, and as a final
process convert It into a lactlo acid.
Other forms of bacteria are always
present In cream; some have little or no
effect In tbe ripening process, while
others, If allowed to develop, produce
undesirable and often obnoxious fla
vors. To cultivate and develop these
"wild" germs Is called "spontaneous"
ripening, and Is often attended with un
certainty. Good butter-making de

Carbolic salve should always be kept
ready for use at the cow barb. Bruises
and sores often occur In the best tegu-
lated establishment and there Is noth
lng really better than a Carbolic oint
ment for such cases. This may be pur
chased already prepared at any drun
store, or the dairyman cao easily pre
pare It for himself by simply taking
some vaseline or even lard and adding
to It a very small quantity of the acid.
Two of three drops of carbolic acid
would be Sufficient for one tablespoon
ful of the vaseline or lard, only mix
them thoroughly together. Such oint
ment Is a rapid healer and keeps files
away from sores. It Is excellent for
man or beast. Practical Dairyman.
