From long experience in managing an
apiary, we have come to the conclusion
that clipping the queen's wings is a
decided advantage. No swarms will
then escape to the woods. The owner
mn go f 1*0111 home, attend church, with
out having his miml disturbed with
thoughts o f losing swarms in his ab
sence. It is better to do this than run
tlie risk of losing excellent queens and
swarms. The bees will never leave for
good if the queen does hot accompany
them. This, of course, has reference to
first swarms, as second swarms may
•ssue at any time, with a young queen
fully fledged, like Minerva from the
head o f Jove, ready for flight and legiti
mate business. These latter can also
be prevented by opening the hives after
they have cast swarms, examining
carefully the combs and cutting out
a]| queen cells, but one in each hive.
I f tliis is done no second swarm will
issue. Column s World.

best use of it. There should be a cer-
taiu hour at which to begin feeding In
the morning and a time at which to
quit feeding at night, or rather evening,
for we don’ t believe in feeding afte r
dark except in the shortest December
days. The farm er who feeds his stock
by lantern light during spring and fa ll
months will be apt to get crops in late
and pick corn till holidays. T h e fam
ily meals should not vary ten minutes
from the specified time, neither should
tin* men ever keep meals waiting. Chil
dren should be off to school on time,
neither too late or too early. T h ey will
be more apt to have their lessons on
time if everything is regular at home.
The work is so much easier to do when
every one knows bis time and place;
life is pleasanter and happy tim e« come
oftener. System preserves health, for
we know that worry kills more per
sons than disease.
P o u lt r y Pointers.
Buckwheat is fattening; when fed
sparingly is egg producing.
Sell the culls as soon as possible, in
order to save feed and give more room.
Do not set the drinking vessels too
low; if you do the fow ls w ill scratch
dirt into them.
Let the nests he in a dark place. The
hens like it better, and are less liable to
acquire the habit o f egg eating.
Fow ls left to select their food, doubt-
less would take seeds, insects and
grass. W e should come ns near as pos
sible supplying these preferences.
I f your hens lay soft shelled eggs it
is because there is not enough lime in
their food.
Feed them g rit—gravel,
oyster shell, plaster or ground bone.
There is considerable difference be
tween selling eggs for 10 cents and 2.r>
or «10 cents a dozen, consequently it will
pay to pack them in salt. Salt is cheap,
and packing eggs in it does not destroy
it.

special Correspondence.
Portland, Or.. Oct. 7.— Say, do yon
know that this is a pretty good kind of
a town? The people are more sociable
than one would think. Several very
nicely dressed ladies, and w ith their
faces done np in paint and powder,
have invited me to come righ t to their
bouses, and me never having been in
troduced to them at all.
1 call that
real sociable, I do.
Out at the Exposition, where I was
a total stranger, one lady 1 never saw
before introduced herself to me, and
asked me to her honse, saying she had
several very attractive girls. O f course
I had to go, and w hat do yon think I
done? Yon see, 1 had to shave m y
self.
I got a flexible razor strop, canvass
ane side, leather the other, from W ood-
srd, Clarke & Co., Fourth and W ash
ington. They m ail these elegant strops
to any address for th irty centr.
Saturday n igh t was Redm en’ s n igh t
at the Exposition; and, ju d gin g from
tbe number o f ’em there, it looked as
if there were no pale faces in Portlaud.
These make-believe Injuns had w ig
wams, tomahawks, and pipes o f peace
galore. One th in g that most pleased
me was that I find they pay pretty
good sick benefits, and also they make
M ark T w a in ’ s saying good, that the
good Injun is the dead Injun; for as
soon as you ’re dead your squaw gets
some thousands o f dollars.
" A l l carpets fade.
Some people say
they w on ’ t, but w e know they w i l l . ”
W h at do you think o f a sign lik e that?
1 was surprised to see it in the largest
carpet and furniture house west o f C h i
cago, the H. C. Breeden Company.
This honse has four Moors 100x100
crowded w ith a ll classes o f furniture
from plainest cottage to superb haud-
carved mahoganies.
1 was afraid to
ask prices as I looked through the w on
derful establishment.
M y frien d was
not bo carefnul, and w e found that
prices here were cheaper than anywhere
in Portland. That comes from trading
w ith factories in trainload lots. P o rt
land is justly proud o f the great H. C.
Breeden establishment.
M ayor Pennoyer and H arvey Scott
are having it hot over the fire depart
ment. The mayor, he has the depart
ment; aud H arvey, he has the grum b
lin g; so it looks juBt like each one
would have his own tnrn— the m ayor
w it r the department, and H arvey w ith
his grum bling.
It a in ’ t for me to say
a word one w ay nor tother, but I
think when H a rve y ’ s done w ith S y l
vester, and the m ayor is through w ith
the editor, that th ey’ ll kiss aud make
up. Both are pioneers, and that makes
Oregon aristocracy. _
Somehow I feel as i f w e deserved no
manufactures here. Our people seem
to prefer Eastern or foreign goods.
Look at Oolden W est Baking P o w
der, an article that is surpassed by
none, whioh has been used by me for
five years w ith entire satisfaction.
It
is made here by men of character; yet
how many of us use Eastern goods
without a thought that money spent at
home for home goods stays w ith ns.
This same honse— Closset & Devers—
has an exhibit of a P. P. C. gas coffee
roaster, patented on ly last A p ril.
The
machine roasts 160 pounds o f coffee in
from 0 to 13 minutes, as against 46
w ith the old method.
The long, sim
m ering of the coffee over an intensely
hot fire destroyed a ll the fine aroma,
and virtu ally k illed the coffee.
By
the new and short method the coffee
falls through a flame, at the rate o f 40
times to tbe minute.
The flame, being
in the cylinder w ith the ooffee, the in
tense heat d irectly applied, draws tbe
o il which is near the surface o f the
ooffee out and sen Is the berry so that,
as tbe roasting continues, none o f tbe
aroma escapes.
This is a campaign o f education.
On
the corner o f T h ird and W ashington,
there are d aily, and all-day, from one
to three crowds discussing the money
question.
Y on never bear a word on
ta riff— thank U od l
Free silver is a ll
one hears.
I t ’s liv e ly bouts they do be
having, too, I oan te ll yez that.
Of
oourse, I don 't pretend to know whioh
side is righ t but I do know that the
plain folks lik e me seem to know " s t a
tistics” on either side better than I
ever knew ainoe I studied Rule Three.
The law and tbe m edical sohools a ll
opened last week.
