FIGHTING BEE DISEASES. Work of Department of Agriculture In Keeping Down Pests. The honeybee annually produces a crop of honey worth at least $20,1)00,000, and there are vast opportunities for increasing this output. The most serious handicap to beekeeping in tfie United States is the fact that there are contagious diseases which attack the brood of the honeybee. There are now recognized two such diseases, known as American foul brood and European foul brood. From data recently obtained by the United States department of agriculture it is known that American foul brood exists in 282 counties in thirty-seven states and European foul brood in 160 counties in twenty-four states, and it is estimated conservatively that these diseases are causing a loss to the beekeepers of the United States of at least $1.1810.000 annually. This estimate is based on the probable value of the colonies which die and the approximate loss of crop due to the weakened condition of diseased colonies. The distribution of these diseases is by no means fully known, and they are co .stautly spreading. The cause of American foul brood has been found by the department to be a sjiecific bacterium, and enough Is known of the cause and nature of European foul brood, which is also a bacterial disease, to make it possible to issue reliable recommendations concerning treatment for both diseases. Both attack the developing brood- and

When the colony becomes weak bees from other colonies enter to rob the honey, and the infection is spread. Both of these diseases can be con trolled with comparative ease by the progressive beekeeper, but the chief difficulty encountered in combating these diseases is the fact that the majority of beekeepers are unaware that anj' such diseases exist. They therefore often attribute their losses to other sources and nothing is done to prevent the spread of the infection. It is therefore necessary in most cases to point OUt the existence and nature of the diseases as well as to spread information Concerning the best methods of treatment. Several states have passed laws providing for the inspection of apiaries for disease, and the beekeepers in other states are asking for the same protection, so that careless or ignorant beekeepers can be prevented from endangering their neighbor’s bees. This Inspection is a benefit in the spread of information concerning disease in so far as the inspection can cover the territory. The department of agriculture is helping in this work by sending out publications to the beekeepers in infected regions by examining samples of brood suspected of disease and by sending out information concerning tbe presence of disease, so that beekeepers will be informed that their apiaries are in danger, the co-opera-E tion of agricultural colleges, state beekeepers' associations and other similar agencies being urged. Every person interested In beekeeping should find out as soon as possible how to recognize and treat these maladies and be on the lookout for them. A publication containing a discussion of the matter will be sent on request by the department of agriculture. Watch Your Alfalfa Seed. ■ Many farmers are willing to take risks in buying cheap alfalfa seed, iwhich frequently contains enough jweed seeds to affect the stand very •seriously. Russian thistle can hardly be-detected in alfalfa seed, nor can it be blown out or removed by screening, and it is the same way with the dodder. '

JUST WHAT THE STATE NEEDS After a Careful Examination of Measure Looking to Amendment of the State’s Constitution, Constitutional Lawyers of Both Parties Have Come Out Unqualifiedly in Favor of Bill Originated by Governor Marshall. Indianapolis special: After two weeks of careful consideration, the Democracy of Indiana has decided that there is much more of good than there is of bad in the proposed new draft of the state const it nt ion. and will accept it as one of its offerings fpr 1912, with full intentioh of backing it up at every turn < " the political road. Since the draft was proposed by the governor and adopted by the Democratic caucus and made a party measure in the general assembly, it has been indorsed by.such men as E. B. Sellers of Monticello, Dan Sims of Latayette, John E. Lamb of Terre Haute, former Judge Robey of the appellate court of this city, and a number of others of the state’s best constitutional lawyers

of both parties as being strictly in line with what the state needs in the way of constitutional change. Furthermore, those who have endorsed it have declared that there is nothing tn the manner of its being offered to the people that would tend to weaken it. or to prevent its being effective if adopted. Governor Will Take the Stump. A story is being told about the Capitol to the effect that when it became known that the caucus had accepted the Governor's draft. Senator William R. Wood, of Lafayette, sent post haste for- Dan Sims, who is a Democrat, to come to Indianapolis and tear the draft to shreds. Sims came, but-after. he had looked the measure over, he appeared before the senate committee as one of the strongest supporters of the measure, and has continued so. It is nofc assured that the governor will take the stump in 1912 in behalf of the draft, when it will be put up to the voters for ratification or rejection. Whether It is or not made a platform measure, the governor will appear to defend it. . T It is on the fact that the governor will thus defend the measure that the Democrats are basing their chief hope that it will be ratified by the voters. The governor spent eighteen months preparing the draft and is eminently prepared to defend every step taken in its preparation. Further than that, he believes with all his heart and soul that the draft is right, that it is neccessary, and behind his arguments in its behalf will be the entire force of his conscience.

Liquor Bill Advanced. "All doubt as to the probability of the general assembly enacting a proper liquor regulative measure were dispelled last week when the house advanced the Proctor liquor regulation bill to engrossment after amending it so as to preserve the essential elements. The house, under the leadership of Representative Seidensticker of Marion county, whipped the bill through in comparatively short order, defeated the SI,OOO license plan, and defeated every effort on the part of the Republican minority to crippl? the measure One of the bitterest fights against the bill was led by Rep resentative Cray.ens, floor leader of the house, but his followers deserted him for the leadership of Seidensticker, and Cravens and his plan were thoroughly repudiated. If the bill becomes a law as it was advanced in the house, it will provide a thoroughly good regulative measure throughout the state. The Child Labor Bill. The gravest kind of fear is expressed that the general assembly will adjourn without its redeeming the party pledge to enact a suitable child labor law. The influence of the Democrats from the extreme southwest part of the, state, headed by Speaker Veneman of thfe house, it appears, has been so strong as to prevent the original bills being passed. The influence behind the Evansville Democrats is found in a group of to-

bacco manufacturers who wish to imploy boys under sixteen years of age and girls under 18 years, which would be expressly forbidden if the bill in its present form Were to become a law. These tobacco manufacturers have brought tremenduous pressure to bear on the Evansville forces and on the house and senate organizations, with the result that the bill as It reached the senate from the house Was thoroughly overhauled in senate caucus and report' d out in such an emasculated form that Representative John J. Keegan, of this city, author of the bill, has declared that he will not permit it to pass the house in that form, and it is believed that he can make his threat good. Keegan contends that the bill if it passes as agreed on in the senate caucus, wou'd weaken even the child labor laws which the senate now has. A great effort is to be forth this week to save the measure in its original form as another step toward the redemption of the party platform. The Boehne Candidacy. The activity of the Democrats from the Evansville district in fighting the child labor bill has undoubtedly weakened the chances of John W. Boehne of Evansville in his aspirations for the governorship nomination in 1912. This candidacy was the chief controlling force in -the house organiaztion and in landing Speaker Veneman, who comes from Evansville, in the speaker’s chair. Everything looked promising for a time for the Bohne candidacy, but the intervention of the Veneman following against the child labor bill has set the union labor forces and the other friends of the measure solidly against the organization, and they will, unless the bill is saved, fight solidly against the Boehne aspirations a year from now. e Keegan, by his superb fight in the house for the measure and by the victory which he won over the speaker and his followers, has made him the logical labor leader for 1912 as far as campaign purposes are concerned, and between Keegan and the Veneman forces it is to be war to the knife unless the child labor bill is saved from its present predicament. . Party Progress Retarded. It Is being freely said about the, statehouse that the Veneman forces, are drunk with power and that their heads have been turned by the success of their coup in landing the house organization. While their power is sufficient, it is held, to defeat any child labor legislation of really valuable nature, it is held that the exercise of their power will work such a hardship on the party in 1912 that it will not only preVent the nomination of Boehne for governor, but will seriously retard the progress of the entire party.

“When conditions in a dominant party become such that a small group of tobacco manufacturers can step in and through control of an organization formed for the purpose of boosting one man to the governorship, defeat the wishes of organized labor throughout the state, defeat the purposes of the state and national organizations who have worked for years to better the conditions of the child laborer and override the wishes of the opposition party, who, following their senator. Mr Beveridge, on this question, join hands with the Democrats in boosting a good child labor bill through, it is. to say the least, a threatening situation,” observed a Democrat in the house who has been assisting Keegan “in the child labor, fight. “It has long been the boast of the Democratic par ty in Indiana that it is free from the control of corporations, and I believe that is true: but it certainly will have to plead guilty in this instance to having turned its legislative organization over to a coterie who are controlled by a tobacco manufacturer It is clearly up to the majority in the week remaining to whip the organization into line or be branded as the foe of the children and the friend of the oppressor of children The party ought not to be made to stand for the blame which a few men in places of power ought alone to be compelled to bear.”

MORE CROPS ON LESS LAND. The problem is not how much land you have, but how well you cultivate it. Ma te the hay land produce, nine tons per acre, and four or five acres of hay wi ! be enough Make the corn land produce 200 bushels per acre and cut down the area to one-fourth. Do the same with other crops, and you will soon find that you have much more land than you can posdbly cultivate.

OLD TESTAMENT TIMES BROOKLYN TABERNACLE BIBLE STUDIES

LIFTED BY WHIRLWIND OUT OF SIGHT Experiences of Elijah the Prophet 'll Kings 2:1-11—March 5 "Enoch walked with God and he wae not."r—----i Genesis CHE Bible tells of three notable nj-*:i who disappeared God took them. One of these, Enoch, we are told, did not die. Another of them. Moses, we are told, died and was buried. Of the third one. the sj>ecial subject of our lesson, it is not stated whether he died or not. But it is our understanding that he did die. ? i’be heaven to which Elijah was tiiketi by a whirlwind was the aerial heaven, in which the birds fly His ’taking nway sifter this manner was in order ir complete the typical features of Ijis life, as we shall see. That neither he nor Enoch went to heaven, in the sense of passing into the heavenly or spiritual state and into the presence of God. is clearly testified to by Jesus, who declared. “No man hath ascended up to heaven, save he who came down from heaven, even the Son of man.” (John 3:13-) Although of En<xh it is declared that he was translated that he should not see death, It is not stated that he was translated to heaven Where he now is no man knows. The object served in the translation ot Enoch probably is to show by and by that it was quite possible for God

to have maintained our race in life perpetually—that only lie cause of sin was it necessary for Ad a m and his fami.y to die; that when sin and death shall be abolished by Messiah during his Kingdom, and wh e n the willing and obedient of mankind shall have been brought to hu-

man perfection again, they will never need to die. Elijah a Type of the Church As Melchisedec (a King and Priest at the time) represented or typified the Church in glory, so Bible students understand that Elijah, the Prophet, typified or represented the Church in the flesh—this side the vail—from Jesus to the present Thus, long after Elijah’s death God. through the Prophet declared to Israel, Behold. 1 send you Elijah the Prophet before the great and notable day of the Lord, and if he do not turn the hearts of the Fathers to the children, and the children to the fathers, then the earth shall be smitten with a curse—a time of trouble such as never was since there was a nation.—Malachi 4:5. 6.

John the Baptist, as the forerunner of Jesus in the flesh, typified this greater Elijah (the Church in the flesh), the forerunner of the Messiah of glory. As John the Baptist did not succeed in bringing the people into harmony with the fathers (Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, etc.), so likewise the Church in the flesh, as God foresaw, has not been successful in bringing peace to the world. As John the Baptist’s failure with Israel was followed by the overthrow of their national polity in A. D. 70, so we believe, the failure of his antitype, the Church in the flesh, to bring in harmony and righteousness, is by Divine intention to be followed by the world wide trouble which will humble man and prepare the way for the establishment of the Messianic Kingdom. Caught Up In a Whirlwind Many Christians have not noticed that there is not only a difference between the heavenly salvation, which God has provided for the Church, and the earthly restitution (Acts 3:19-21)

The oth , er class of saved ones on the spirit ! plane the Scriptures designate a “great company, whose number no one knows." (Rev. 7:9.) These will serve before the Throne. Chariots and Horsemen of Fire naving located Elijah as the type of the “elect" class. Bible Students are inclined to consider Elisha as probably a typical character; also a represents five of the greater spiritual class, the antitypical Levites. - The various instances in which Elijah suggested to Elisha that he should tar ry behind are supposed to represent., the trials and difficulties in the path way of the Church here, which will suggest to the “great company.” the Elisha class, that they continue not to follow their more zealous brethren of the Elijah class '

Spiritism Said to Be Demonism. 1 A most interesting little brochure has recently come off the press setting • |orth with Bible proofs that the comhumcations received by and through I Spiritist Mediums is of Demon origin. Che writer traces his subject through, he Scriptures from the time when ertain of the holy angels became disibedient. He proves from the Scripures that these , fallen spirits personate the human dead, with whose frast history, spirits, though invisible, pre thoroughly acquainted. He shows Ehat they also frequently personte the Creator and the Redeemer, Commanding their deceived ones to !>ray, do penance, etc. This, however, s merely to lead them on and to bring them more thoroughly under demoniacal control. Sometimes by breaking |iown the natural barrier, the human wRI, they possess their victim, and rule him more or less to his ruin—frequently sending such to the mad-hcuse. |<umerous illustrations, Scriptural and Otherwise, are given. The price of the little book is but ten cents; it should be in the hands of all Interested in Spiritism Or who have friends'interested ■ therein.
