Fifty years have witnessed wonder ful changes In most Industries, but none greuter than have been made In modern bee culture. In our grandfath ers' days bees were kept In straw "skeps," log "gums," and box hives. Af ter tolling through the long summer to lay up a store of sweets, the cold days of autumn saw the bees consigned to the sulphur pit, while their combs of honey were mashed up and bung In a muslin bag before the fire to drln. strained" honey was the result and sometimes there was a decided flavor of bee-bread and brimstone. The Interior of a beehive was a seal ed book until 18C2, when the genius' of Langstroth, by the Invention of the movable comb-hive, broke the seal and allowed man to scan the wonderful pages. This was the first, the revolu tionary step of modern bee-culture the foundation of all subsequent Im provements. To-day bee culture Is almost an ex act science. There Is money In the business and the question Is often ask ed : "What are the profits of beekecD- lng?" They vary from less than noth ing (when the bees must be fed, be cause the weather Is such that no crop has been gathered) to amounts that are fabulous. One colony, and Its Increase.

On the basis of personal experience the author of a Pennsylvania bulletin discusses the feeding and care of poul try, artificial Incubation, the raising of ducks, turkeys and geese on the farm, poultry diseases, and related questions. A combination of fruit growing and poultry raising Is especlallyv recom mended. "Locate your poultry-houses If possible so that the runs will be In an orchard.

Fifty pounds of comb honey or 100 of extracted would be considered a good average yield. The latter sells, at wholesale, from 4 to 7 cents a pound, and retails at about 10 cents. Comb honey wholesales from 10 to 13 cents a pound, and retails at about 16 cents a pound. But apiculture does not live to Itself alone. It has been proved, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that many crops of fruits, vegetables and grain are greatly Improved, both In quantity and qual ity, by the agency of the bees In bring ing about perfect fertilization of the blossoms. Some flowers remain abso lutely sterile unless pollen Is conveyed to them by some mechanical means from some other blossoms. In the sweet springtime when the wide-spreading branches of the apple trees are almost hidden by masses of pink and white promises of future frultfulness, many of us do not realize that all of this beauty, this sweet perfume, the tiny drops of nectar nestling amoug the petals, are a part of nature's plan for securing the attendance of those marriage-priests the bees.

Several of the State experiment sta tions have shown by their tests loss of fertility In barn and stable manure by the old methods of handling It, which suggest the Importance of dally or weekly hauling and spreading on the fields. The latest experiments made by the Ohio station prove that when ma nure was thrown Into the open barn yard and permitted to He there for five months before being hauled to the field It had a value of $2.40 per ton. When drawn directly to the field as fast as It was made the value was $3.25 per ton. AWhen the manure was sprinkled with ground phosphate rock as fast as it was made In the stable, thus preventing some loss of ammonia, the value was $5.18 per ton. The claim Is made that at least one third of the value of the manure Is lost as it is usually put on the land with a fork' and that ten loads put on with a manure spreader go as far and do as much good as fifteen loads put on In the old-fashioned, careless way.

A crowd of Russian farmers, the first of this class of Immigrants to arrive at Philadelphia In any considerable numbers, reached there recently on the American liner Friesland, from Liver pool. There were many who had fought for their country against Japan and who still wore the military re forms ln which they had been dis charged. There were In all 850 of these much-sought-after farmhands, nearly all of whom are members of the Greek orth odox church. Most of the Immigrants left last night for Illinois, Minnesota, Nebraska and the Dakotas. Though illiterate, they are Industrious and thrifty. The leader of the party stated that, owing to the political and eco nomic crisis,' 300,000 farmhands will leave Russia this year for the United States, coming principally from the Dnelper and Don districts, the richest farming districts of the country.

I SES SKIN DISEA HUMORS IN THE BLOOD When the blood is pure, fresh, and healthy, the skin will bo soft, smooth and free from blemishes, but when some acid humor takes root in the circu lation its presence is manifested by a skin eruption or disease. These humors get into the blood, generally because of an inactive or sluggish, condition of the members of the body whose duty it i3 to collect and cany off the waste and refuse matter of the system. This unhealthy matter is left to sour and ferment and soon the circulation becomes charged with the acid poison. The blood begins to throw off the humors and acids through the pores and glands of the skin, producing Eczema, Acne, Tetter, Psoriasis, Salt Rheum and skin eruptions of various kinds. Eczema appears, usually with a slight redness of the skin followed by pustules from which there flows a sticky fluid that dries and forms a crust, and the itching is intense. It is generally on the back, breast, face, arms and legs, though other parts of the body may be affected. In Tetter the skin dries, cracks and bleeds ; the acid in the blood dries up the natural oils of the skin, which are intended to keep it soft and pliant, causing a dry, feverish condition and giving it a hard, leathery appearance.
