THE DISSATISFIED BEE. 'Twas on & happy summer morn when all S the world was glad and gay, ; ‘A busy, honey-seeking bee set out on her accustomed way : ; To gather all the hidden sweéts distilled by o blossoms fresh and fair ! That, fragrant- from their bath of dew, were waiting for her everywhere. The morn was sleepy with content, and as B she crooned about her task " She fell to musing: ‘lt would be a pleasure could I rest and bask ; Among the flowers all the day as does the golden butterfly, ; And watch the fleecy clouds that sail like phantom ships across the sky.” “*Twould be a joy,” thought she, ‘to dream amid the roses and the phlox, Or let the breezes swing me in a hammock made of hollyhocks; ) . # And for my dainty feast to mix the ricn red poppy’s drowsy wine With perfume from the mignonette and honey from the eglantine.”” - “The great grasshopper never toils, nor does the butterfly,’”” said she, ‘““And shall T have no pleasure-time? Is - there no rest for weary bee? - Enough of duty! Long have I performed my task day after day, As patient bees have ever done, but now the time has eome for play.” . And so, as bee ne’er did before, she laid aside her simple task That happy morn that she might learn how pleasant it would be to bask Among the flowers all the day as did the golden butterfly, : And watch the fleecy clouds that sailed like phantom ships across the sky. And like a queen she lay and dreamed among the roses and the phlox; She let the breezes swing her in a hammock made of hollyhocks. ; And for her dainty feast she mixed the flame-red poppy’s drowsy wine With perfume from the mignonette and : honey from the eglantine. - Her dissipation soon produced a season of . profound repose, And while she deeply slumbered on the ~ velvet bosom of a rose e The dark came down, and when she woke Jer-little heart was wild with fright; She wept, and when she-cried aloud her ; cries were echoed by the night. With much regret she thought upon her folly and declared that she, If saved from harm, would evermore do as becomes a prudent bee. And while the night wind chilled her heart and dews were falling cold and damp, A night-policeman fire-fly ¢came and held < “aloft his shining lamp. ~ In deep contrition she confessed the foolish things which she had done, - And now it came she was not home, as bees ‘ should be, at set of sun; e - When the policeman saw her tears he \' sought her sorrow to .allay, ‘*Come, follow after me,” he said, ‘“and , with my lamp I'll light the way.” ' She gladly followed him until she came in ¢ safety to the hive; It filled her'heart.with joy to know that she had reached her friends alive. : And from that day to this they say no_bee has ever dared to roam So late that she has had to have the I night-policeman take her home. —Nixon Waterman, in L.

e e COLD STORAGE ROOM. Excellent Plan Described by the Editor of the Country Gentieman. i .Can you give me’ plan for icehouse with cold storage room, eﬂher underneath ice or at end, as thought best—ice to be used from icehouse as needed, and at same’time keep the storage-room cold? Can this be done, or will ice melt so rapidly that I should be without it? Would it be better to build cold rcom separate and flll with ice asneeded? Ice can cool adjacent objects only by absorbing their heat, and consequently melting faster than would be the case if surrounded by nonconducting substances which are not disturbed or renewed after once giving-up to the ice whatever heat they will readily yield. Assuredly, therefore, an icehouse will be depleted faster if its contents are called upon to abgorb continually the heat from an apartment of some size, opened from time to time, and perhaps refilled in whole or in part with material comparatively warm. Care must consequently be taken not to expect too much cooling from a limited quantity of ice; but if a reasonable proportion be observed between the size of the ice mass and that of the connected refrigerator, our correspondent’s idea is perfectly feasible. As to a detailed plan for carrying it out, we can only—in view of the meager information furnished us as to the dimensions desired, the temperature intended to be preserved in the cold storage room and the kind of goods to be kept there—suggest that a design somewhat like the following might probably be found useful. The ice does not rest directly on the joists; but there is a bed of oak lath, about 114, by 3 inches, laid across the ;oists, about 4 or 5 inches apart, on which the ice is laid. The drainage is carried off by a series of V-shaped tin or iron troughs, which run between the joists, all which carry the water to one point, where it is conveyed outside Iy a trap pipe. These troughs reach over to the center of the top of the soists, and are soldered together, so that no water will drip on the fioer below. It will be seen that in this plan there is no sawdust or other preservative in contact with the ice, and the air of the room circulates around and over the ice. As long as the temperature of the goods stored is above ‘the temperature of the room, there will be a

Af the entrance to the storeroom there must be a vestibule, either inside or outside, as space or circumstances may direct. 1f outside, the walls should be thick and the door . very neavy. The doors, both inside and-out-side, should bé fitted with rubber, so as to close perfectly tight, and both doors must never be opened at the same time. This vestibule should be large enough to contain a fair wagonload of goods, so that if you are reeeiving a load of stuff, you are not required to stop until all is in the vestibule and ready to store. : . : The opening for putting in the ice, sliown just under the pulley in the cut, has two doors, with a space between—c¢ach door a foot thick. The window in the cold-room has three sets’ of sash, well packed or cemented: The walls are 13 inches thick, lined with 17 inches of sawdust. Thirty-six inches of sawdust are put on the floor over the ice. The building shown is 25 feet square, inside measure, and 22 feet from floor of cold-room to ceiling over the ice. The iceroom is 12 feet high, and the coldroom nine feet. Pillars are required under the center of the ice.—Rural New Yorker. '

' The Beet Leaf Miner. - : Dr. J. A. Lintner, of New York state, as reported in Insect Life, has found the larvae of several species of fliey mining the leavesof beets in some vegetable gardens of the state. This insect has also been found to be doing considerable damage to some sugar beet plantations in Califprnia. 1t seems that there is little that can be done in the way of direct remedies for this insect, without sacrificing the foliage, although the foliage is not important to the beet crop after a certain time. In-. sect Life recommends the cutting and destruction of the beet tops after the roots become well grown. If this plan be adopted, and the fields be plowed and harrowed after the roots are dug, the probabilities are that no serious damage will follow next season.

WINTER DAIRYING. Why There Shouid Be No Abandonment 5 of the Industry. [ There is but little doubt that theicoming winter will see a good many farmers abandoning dairying as a winter business on account of the high price of many of the cow feeds and Scarcity, but in most of these instances we think a mistake will be made. A disadvantage is that cows are selling cheap, even for the best, and next spring they wiill be unusually high, and the dry cows wintered will eat and produce nothing to. compensate for their food. When it comes to a problem of exchange, it is doubtful if feed even at present ]ﬁ)rices | can be turned into anything more prof- 1 itable than 20-cent butter, providerd one has a warm barn and the liecessai‘y~ ar--rangements to well care for his fcows, ‘ g 0 that there is not an undue demand upon the food to protect the cowT?rom ; the rigors of winter; and this fvaste | makes the feed biil high,when tar paper and hemlock boards would have agcom- | plished the same purpose and left the ‘ food—extra—to have gone either to a ‘ ‘more economical keeping of the cow or a greater yield of milk. One of the reasons why the winter dairy well managed is profitable is that there is a daily compensation for one’s labor ancﬂ outlay in feed, as there is a constant call for millkk and butter in the winte}, and one is not obliged to anticipate or run up bills for the future, as buttq“r _and’ milk are spot cash goods, and i;t is a 1 quick rotation-—if the term may bg used —of feed into produce, and as qﬂlickly ! turned into money. Not the least of | the economies of the winter dﬁry is the fact that as now demonstrated, the milch cow will actually do better and produce better on the more rough foods, like corn fodder, roots and the like, with corn and cob meal combined witJ some oil meal and the like, than upon fine and more costly market hay, and thifi gives the farmer a chance to tuyn gihese bulky, unsalable feeds into the finest of foods for humanity, and, more,@ gives him employment in the winter, and in his interesting and profitable work he finds little time to yearn for a seat in: the legislature. The winter dairy has a place in the farmer’s farm work, and there should be little abandonment of - the industry, for the man who does so will soon' regret his decision. DBetter keep at it.—-Practical Farmer. | —_— | DAIRY" _MANAGEMENT.E A Canadian Woman Tells How to Make Cows Pay a Profit. ‘Mrs. E. M. Jones, of Brockville, Ont., who is a famous dairy woman, in an address before a farmers’ congre‘Fs in Quebec, said: ; L - “We must increase our produ&ts and increase our profits, too. Anid one, great way of making more profit is to follow the teachings of all great dairy schools and colleges. They continually tell us to ‘lessen the cost of production.’ How is this to be done? By starving our cows? Far from it. DBut b‘y_keeping a better class of cows, fegding and caring for them better and using more skill and care in mnaking our butter. We thus increase our output and at the same time we lessen the cost of production. - |

“Do not think I advocate toa high feeding, for that is almost as great an error as starving your cattle. Feed generously and of suitable material, but find out each cow’s capacity anf feed her up to the highest point at which she pays for the feed, and not one ’blt beyond it. “In my herd the usual green ration for each animal in full milk varies from seven to ten pounds per cow each day. This is composed of ground oats, ground peas, wheat bran and ocicasionally a very little oil meal. The| ration is divided into two feeds and given night and morning upon the silage. Should the silo be empty, the grain isjalways fed upon hay that has been cut and moistened. . A - “The quantity of silage fed is|3o to 40 pounds a day. At noon my cattle ges a very small feed of cut can%‘ots‘ or mangels, and any further supply of food required consists of bright, early cured, long hay put in their mangers. They get all the salt they need,all the water they want twice a day, and each cow is well curried and brushéd over every day. Whenever weather permits they are turned out for a short time about noon, but are never left lout till cold and tired. The barns are thoroughly cleaned out twice a day.’f : L e | CIRCULAR COW BARN.

The neat ventilator at the top shows that the aniurals get fresh air in winter. The greatest objeetion to a basement stable is that the ‘ moisture from the animaly rises through the floor above and penetrates the hay and grain stored upon thlet~ﬁoor g and often’ Tolds them. o ‘On the whole, however, this Larn is built on an excellent pattern.
