A HIVE CARRIER.
A Satisfactory WheeP,urrow for II 1 vei
Made at a Small Cost.
The wheel is ono taken from nn old
garden drill. It ia 18 inches hiyh. The
springs running back from it are mor
tised through the end Irara of the frame
and are inado out of one leaf of a Cham
pion spring and bolted at each mortise.
The frame and hand handles are made
of 2 by 2-inch oak, and the sides are mor
tised onto tho ends. The handles are fas
tened to the frame by strap hinges so that
they can be swung out in grasping the
hive, as brought down over tho top. The
lifting springs are made of the same as
the ones going to the wheel. They
should be about 9 inches long, but for a
short man a little shorter, so that the
front of the hive will not touch the
ground in wheeling. These springs
should be screwed to the handles about
one inch back of the middle of tho hive,
so that the hive will tilt forward and be
steadied against tho end bar of the car
rier when the arms are swung in. The
springs should also be sprung inward
about two inches so they will press tight
ly against the bottom when the handles
are brought up against the hive.
The length of the frame should be 18
inches, and the inside measurement be
tween the handles the width of the hive,
with about an inch to spare, so us not to
rub the paint off the hive. A corre
spondent of Gleanings in Bee Culture, in
which this contrivance was originally
sketched and described, says that with
it you can pick a hive off from a stand
HOMEMADE HFVK WHEELBARROW.
or from the ground, run into or out of
a cellar and set it down on a stand prop
erly, as you can see three sides of yotir
hive while running, and the swimming
handles do not bother in running. When
empty, the hinges should be on the out
side, so that when the handles are
straight they will be perfectly stiff.
New Point. In Spraying.
Professor Bailey points out some new
notions in sprayingin American Garden
ing which are worth reading and heeding.
The first requisite to spraying is prun
ing, elso the Epray will not reach all
parts of the tree; hence it promotes
pruning. Labor iH cheap when pruning
is done. It is expensive when spraying
is done. Prune in February and March;
spray in May, June and July, spraying,
too, must drive corn and otluT tall crops
from the orchard. And it will empha
size the importance of lev 1 culture.
Two important facts emphasized are
that for most fungons diseases the spray
should be applied before the fii 'wcrs ap
pear and tliat it pays to spray in a 1 1
season. Spraying in w-t iwa;ii:i k ilwa
discouraged by those who ought to have
upheld it, for the wet season is the one
in whjeh fungi spread mo-it rapidly und
in wh'ii h spraying in uiwjt needed. Pro
fessor Bailey says that we must splay in
wet years, therefore, if in no other, a.?d
the extra labor of more i'remier.t appli
cations is likely to be liberally r.'paid by
the higher pric, of fruit in such years.
So all experience now emphasizes the
value of the arsenical and copper and
sulphur sprays fcr every year. There
should be no half hearti-dueM, no timidi
ty, no procrastination. Lukewarm ar
mies ar never victorious.

SMUT OF GRAIN.
The Hot Water Treutment Soaking Seed
In a Solution of Sulphate of Copper.
The presence of smut in any degree ia
lowering to the value of all grain. Ex
eellent wheat tagged with smut can
scarcely be sold at any price. Abroad,
where American wheat once had such a
fine reputation, it is now looked on with
suspicion. The men who buy wheat in
carloads and shiploads are not to be
fooled any more, and fanners must see
to it that their grains are pure and clean.
At some of the experiment stations the
Jansen or hot water treatment has been
practiced with favorable results aud is
recommended to farmers. The two
methods generally recommended are
(1) soaking the seed 15 minutes in water
held at a temperature of 132-135 degrees,
then cooling with cold water; (2) soak
ing five minutes in water of 136-138 de
grees and spreading out at once to dry.
At the Vermont station the first method
is approved for smut in oats. At this
station it is reported that soaking the
seed oats in hot water appeared to im
prove the quality, aside from the de
struction of the smut. Tho hot water
treatment, however, for smutty seed
corn injured the vitality of the seed.
In an address before a Manitoba farm
ers' meeting Richard Waugh made the
statement that there is nothing more cer
tain in fanning than that smut is pre
ventable. He called attention to the
seven years' investigations of Dr. Bre
veld of Berlin, The doctor, after trying
60 different ways to kill smut, finally de
cided that thero is nothing better than
bluestone. Ono or two cents' worth of
bluestone (not agricultural bluestone,
but real sulphate of copper) will kill all
the smut on a bushel of an ordinary
sample of smutty wheat. He advised as
follows:
"Do not mix it by sprinkling in a wag
on box, but put the dissolved bluestone
in a big tub, soak the seed in it a minute
or two, dripping it back into the tub so
as to save the solution from needless
waste. Eight bushels may be treated
with one pound if not very bad, but
more bluestone is wanted if the smut is
bad. The experimental farms and others
have had clean wheat from badly smut
ted seed when properly treated. Just
how bad the seed may be before treat
ment we do not yet know.
"Some farmers find smut after blue.
stoning, but that coiubb very often from
the .tainted crop that grew on the land
the year before. What was shaken out
of the crop produced volunteer plants
enough to taint the next crop. That can
only be prevented by summer fallowing
after a smutty crop or growing a green
crop of some sort. It is safe to say that
a few years' attention to bluestone will
kill out smut just as surely as strychnine
will kill rats if they eat it. One thing
bsar in mind. Do not wait till the dis
ease is very bad before you apply the
remedy."
Care of Chickens.
Here are a few of the many statements
of general interest made by Mr. Abel L.
Stevens of Wellesley, Mass. , in an ad
dress on poultry delivered before a farm
ers' mooting and reported for the Massa
chusetts Ploughman:
First secure good, vigorous stock.
Mate carefully, with a view of the ob
ject you are aiming for. Place in gojd,
dry quarters; keep scrupulously clean
and feed generously of tho best quality
of food. Hatch the chicks early.
Food enough is stored up in the egg
from which the chick was hatched to
sustain it for the first 24 hours. After
ward, and for the first two weeks, feed
little and often every three hours of
stale bread and cracker cnimbs Boaked
in milk; add to this hard boiled eggs and
fine oatmeal mixed in; also keep before
them dry millet seed.
From this a good chango will be a
mixture consisting of 20 pounds Corn
meal, 10 pounds wheat middlings and 5
pounds fine animal meal.
This should be scalded with boiling
water and fed at B, 9, 1 2 a. ra. and at i! and
6 p. m. Feed liberally with cracked corn
and cracked wheat; give milk for drink
if possible; if not, clean, fresh water in
shallow iron dishes; also keep a dish near
them of finely ground bono and beef
scraps, and an abundance of green food
always. These me'.lio.b will develop
young chicks faster a id n jks them
stronger than any olh':r system of feed
ing. Always keep young chicks shaded
from a glaring sun anil shelt"red from
rainstorms; have a boardv'd floor in
brooding coops, and as soon as young
chicks begin to roost provide a 2-inch
width smooth joist not over two feet
from the floor, protected from all ene
mies of the young chick, and with good
strong stock to start with and the alxjve
good care you should raise nearly 100
per cent of your hatches. Now, at the.
age of 12 wee;ks separate the young males
from the pullets. Fm:d these faNt ma
turing pullets on good wheat and barley
oats to induce early laying, the cockerels

A Strange AcclUeut.
"The strangest accident that ever fell
within my observation," said Harold
Chapman to a friend in the Lindcll, "oc
curred at my homo in Medicine Lodge,
Kan. One day in May, 1US9, I was
driven into the house by a thunder
shower. The rain moderated in a few
minutes, however, and I took a chail
aud sat out on tho porch. My youngest
boy was playing with a tin cup, catch,
ing water from the rain pipe and pour
ing it along a rut in the floor. The water
ran along this rut out onto tho cistern
platform. While ho was stooping to till
the cup from the rain pipe a flash of
lightning came, seemingly attracted by
the iron cistern pump. The current
leaped from the pump to the current of
water that ran along the porch and
flashed along its course to the end.
"As providence, accident, ill luck or
something else would have it our Thomas
cat had come out trom the kitchen and
was standing close to the wet gutter
made by pouring of the water. The cat
received the full benefit of the flash, and
lay scorched and dead in an instant.
Now I Baw that flash distinctly, and
saw it travel from the iron pump along
that gutter to the cat. If my boy had
been there the result would have been
the same. If he had not, why I suppose
it would have been attracted toward one
of us and serious results might have fol
lowed. I slightly imagine that I owe
my lif o to that cat's ill fate. I am much
ohhged to tho oat.'' St. Louis Glooe
Democrat. The Endowment of Daughters.
The propriety of endowing daughters
appears to be now seriously discussed in
different parts of the country. This
arises partly out of u growing sense of
justice, which, tho philosophers say, is
the last sentiment to be developed in the
case of women, and partly out of the
commercial exigencies which in the last
twenty years havo loft stranded so many
women with no means of livelihood.
The endowment of daughters would ac
complish several ends. It would enable
them to marry the men of thoir choice,
it would support them if they do not
marry, and in caso of commercial disas
ter would furnish at least temporary
provision for tho family. The matter
has progressed until the mothods of en
dowments in different countries are ".'n
dor advisement.
According to Sir Henry Maine it was
the passing of the Roman dowry into
France after the conquest of Gaul that
has made of France tho richest and most
prosperous of nations. It is unlikely,
however, desirable as it might be, that
the frugality and self denial the hum
blest Frenchman practices to lay aside
his daughter's dowry will appeal to a
nation accustomed to easy living and as
impatient for swift results as this. New
York Evening Sun.
A Jupanese Editor.
Editors may find some consolation in
the fact that they have inspired feelings
of envy in the breasts of a young Japa
nese boy. A recent issue of an East In
dian papor contained the following note:
"A schoolboy in Loerabaya was asked
to describe an editor of a paper. He did
so in this way. 'An editor is tho luckiest
man in the world. He can go te a cir
cus every afternoon and every evening
without paying a cent. He can go alsc
to the court houses, tho places of execu
tion and the races.
"lie has free tickets to all theatere, re
ceives presents at his office, and gets hie
oars boxed too. Ho goes also to Prigen,
Malang or Lawang (places of amuse
ment). He does not do this often, how
ever. In one paper he can deny every
thing that was said in the previous one,
and he does so, as a rule. When other
people aro already in bed, the editor is
still up. He stays up late to see what
happens. When 1 grow big I shall be
come an editor. Then 1 can stay up
too."
A Sermon Kzehange.
The latest enterprise which we hear
announced in the young and enterpris
ing west is tho "Sennon exchange," of
Chicago. According to popular belief
tho practice of clergymen has been to
writo sermons until they had filled a
barrel. Then tho barrel would be turned
upside down and the sermons all
preached over again. Where a minister
remained in a church a great many years
the congregation would after awhile be- j
gin to know when the barrel was turned.
boiuu sermons were looked forward to
With much interest aud otljers with more ;

is to do away with hII of this. It la no
lunger necessary to pl each a Hoi mon over
a second time. The preacher can taki

to it. This he sends to tho exchange and i
receives ono written by some one else

send ho can get ono for fifty cents. Bal

Absolutely pure
DIABOLICAL INTELLIGENCE.
Instances of the Treachery and Wicked
ness of the Klephaut.
According to my observation, the
elephant is intelligent in a diabolical
way at times, but rarely ever up to the
mark when its intelligence would be
useful. Mo with its docility. That
quality is prominent, no doubt, when
the exhibition of it is convenient to
the elephant, but one often looks for
it in vain when it is needed for the con
venience of any other living creature.
Then the elephant is a revengeful
beast. It is treacherous often, and,
with few exceptions, an arrant coward.
How very uncertain tho docility of
an elephant may be, and how revenge
may be substituted for that quality,
was illustrated by an event that is
fresh in my mind, says a writer in
lilackwood's Magazine. A mahout
tried to drive his elephant into the cen
ter of a newly-excavated tank. The
elephant found out with its trunk that
a hole of some depth was just before it
and would not move. The mahout per
sisted, and urged tho recalcitrant ele
phant with the iron goad, (the gujbag,)
and, after a short conflict, the elephant
seized the mahout with Its trunk,
dragged him off his seat on its neck,
and, placing him below its forefeet,
trampled tho life out of him.
This animal had some reason for be
ing annoyed by its driver, but there is
nothing to be said in extenuation of
another elephant that, aproposof noth
ing, tossed nie with its tusk. I was
feeding that brute in tho eventide,
when the day's work was done and
this toiler, with others, had to bo tend
ed and encouraged. I was feeding it
with delicacies dear to the elephantine
palate, and, without rhyme or reason,
that docile and intelligent creature
butted me into the air, no doubt with
a benevolent intention of impaling me
that was frustrated by my offering no
resistance to the tusk aud by the blunt
ness of tliat weapon.
FLYING MACHINES.
Among Other Things They Would Open
K Up Vast Tracts .of lu& tti talulma-
Samuel Cabot, a manufacturing
chemist of Itoston, is interested in fly
ing machines. At present he ,s trying
to discover the best form of aerial
screw one which will give the great
est push with the least amount of
power. In an interview with a re
porter of the Boston Traveler, he said
"Two questions have been frequently
asked, which perhaps it will be worth
while to answer now, and as part of
my reply will be in the form of a
prophecy, this 'credo' may be worth
the trouble of preservation to compare
with the developments of the future.
What important service can flight in
air serve? Maxim, Langley and all
who have studied the subject thor
oughly, agree that the speed of aeria
tion will greatly exceed that of any
terrestial locomotion. From this fol
lows an entire economic change in the
direction of rendering immense tracts
of comparatively worthless territory
at distances of twenty to forty miles
from cities much more available.
There would also result the relegating
of city property in largo measure to
business and storage purposes. This
would to a large extent accomplish
what Henry (leorge sighs for, but
would do it by means which do not in
volve any wrong to the land owner by
the wage earner. With flying navies,
capable of carrying unseen at night
large quantities of explosives to the
center of a city, war would become so
destructive that it would be soon sup
pluntcd by arbitration as a matter of
common sense, and self-preservation.
"Arbitration once established, an in
ternational police system, controlling
n'ttions as we. do individuals, and en
forcing the decrees of boards of arbi
tration, would bo enormously assisted
by this power of rapid and, if neces
sary, destructive patrolling. Immense
areas of country, now well nigh Im
penetrable, would be open to useful
ness. Large sources of wealth would
thus be added to the civilized world,
and would result In the amelioration
of the condition of the savages of such
regions as central Africa. We should
have to give up selfish legislation and
restriction upon the commerce of other
nations, and be obliged perforce to
'stand on a broader heritage than that
of nation or of zone.' "
Those owing us most do a little of
what the Gazette has a great deal to oc
onpy its time just now. Every little
helps, and money we must have.

Shyster Lawyers.
J. L. Reese, of Brooklyn, holds in
special detestation the shyster lawyer
and his methods for obtaining business.
Mr. Reese is at the Grand Pacific and
said that some weeks ago while crossing
a street in New York city he was
knocked down by a wagon t'flat was
going at a rapid rate, but which he
could have avoided if he had been more
careful and not in such a huny. He
was carried into a drag store, and the
driver, almost as scared as he was, was
one of the first by his side. He gave his
name and address to a policeman, who
constituted himself the first judge in the
case.
In a fow hours he was not much the
worse for tho accident and went home.
He had hardly finished breakfast the
next morning when a lawyer called who
insisted that he knew all about the case
and dilated at some length on reckless
street driving in general and the care
lessness of the driver in this case in par
ticular. He was informed that if Mr.
Reese determined to prosecute the case
he would be informed. Before noon
four otbor lawyers called, and each tried
his best to induce the injured man to go
to law about it. Mr. Reese finally gave
orders that if any one else asked for hira
to find out if he were a lawyer before
admitting him. If any more called he
didn't hear of it. Chicago Tribune.
X.oss of Teeth Affects Length of Life.
The loss of the masticating teeth be
fore the thirtieth year means a shorten
ing of the life of the individial of from
two to five years. To know the extent
to which many of these teeth are lost,
even before the fifteenth year, one has
only to turn to the reports of the ex
amination of the teeth of children in the
schools and orphan homes of London
and elsewhere. If some effective meas
ures are not adopted for combating the
ravages of dental decay it looks very
much as though another half century
would find the poorer classes of English
people practically edentulous before the
twentieth year. New York Commercial ,

Yearning for City and Country Lite.
The man who lives in the country
yearns for tho city, the man who lives
in the city yearns for the country. The
farmer would seek pent precincts of the
town and bend over ledgers; the clerk,
already bent double over his ledgers,
craves the free air and the nnconfiued
horizons of the farm, the distant hills
and the broad acres between. Variety,
is it not, which they both seek?
In opposite currents, doubtless, but
both continually by immutable tenden
cies. Such is certainly tho optimistic
theory of the situation implied by these
"abandoned" fann pamphlets. Is it tho
true one? Apploton Morgan in Popular
Science Monthly.
Interpreting the Scriptures.
"There is a queer old preacher down
in my country," said a native born Mary
lander to a party of friondB in the Man
hattan club ono evening last week. The
man had just returned from a visit to
hia old home after a long absence and
was amusing tho company with anec
dotes. "He is about seventy years old," con
tinned the speaker, "and he has had
little or no education and is utterly in
capablo of preaching a sermon. He be
lieves every word, letter and punctua
tion mark in the Bible is inspired, and
his method of teaching his flock is to
read from the Scripture and expound
and explain his reading to the best of his
ability.
"Of course the good old man quite fre
quently runs up against some passage
most difficult to interpret. His method
of extricating himself, as I have reason
to know, is unique. I was listening to
his exposition of Solomon and all his
glory the other Sunday and wondered
how he was going to do justice to the
great king in the matter of his thousand
odd wives. All of a sudden he came up
on the passage, which he read through
slowly. Then he paused, mopped Ills
brow and said:
" 'Brethren, we have como across
difficult passage Lot us, however, not
shirk our duty. Wo must look the diffi
culty firmly in the face and pass on to
the next verse.' And he promptly pro
ceeded to do so, to the evident satisfac
tion of his flock." New York Herald.
A Shocking Organization.
The Liars' club is all that its name im

iishermen whose improbable stories have
given a bad name to honest, truth tell

Izaak Walton who wquld not tell a lie
about the number of fish they caught
for tho world. The biggest liar is chosen
