THE FARMING WORLD. TRAPS FOR DRON ES. JLo. Eujr War of Getting Rid of Vaeleok Honey Consumer*. Almost any warm afternoon one may Bee numerous large black bees buzzing about the hives with a noise equal to more than t wice their number of workers. These are the drones Who toil not, and are useful only to fertilize the queen. As this is necessary but once ineher lifetime, it is evident that by far the greater part of a drone’s life is spent in useless consumption of stores. Nor is this all; as soon as honey becomes scarce in the field the attention of many of the workers is taken up with destroying these idlers, and the working force depleted to that extent. It is no uncommon thing to see two or more workers hauling out a drone, and either executing him or driving him into exile, j It is important to save the bees as much work as possible, and thus economize their time. That is just what '’drome traps are for, and the one here illustrated is regarded almost universally as the drone trap for all apiaries. A close examination of the cut will explain the method of its use, I think, appearing as the trap does to the observer, when in place across the hive entrance. The back is open sufficiently to admit the bees readily, but the front is closed with a strip of perforated zinc, the perforations of which allow the worker bees to pass through

Al.iif.l IIVAT. « freely, but not the larger drones. The latter, trying to escape to the outer air, crawl about in search of an exit, and finally find it through the apex of the wire cone shown in the center of the trap. (The latest patterns contain three cones.) This leads them into an tipper chamber or apartment entirely j inclosed with perforated strips, and ! from which there is no exit for them, except through the one by whictgdhey entered, a route they are very seldom able to retrace. * In this way in the course of one or two warm afternoons about all the drones in the hive may be captured and destroyed at leisure. Or, if one does not care to 'kill them, an opening from the end of this chamber to the outer air, closed by a sliding tin, may- be left open and the drones allowed to pass out this way - As they cannot return by this route, they are effectual^ debarred from reentering the hive. If this method is adopted, however, care should be taken that they do not simply go into another hive. If they are killed while caged 6ee that no workers are with them. So much for this “alley trap,” as it is - called, as a drone excluder. As a queen catcher it is also valuable. The queen is also larger than the workers, hence unable to pass through the perforated zinc. To prevent the issuing and departure of a swarm during the absence of the apiarist, place the trap before the entrance as for drones, taking care to see that the entrance at the end is closed^ If a swarm attempts to issue the queen will either be forced back into the hive or caught in the drone chamber, and held till the return or convenience of the apiarist. Of course the swarm is not likely to go without her. / Formerly it was considered sufficient to catch her, and prevent the departure of a swarm to parts unknown. Now a new feature is being successfully introduced—a self-hiver. The top of the trap is perforated or removed for this, and a box made with the ends fitting tightly over the ends of the trap, the back consisting of the front of the hive, and the front a sloping board, not too smooth, extending upwards; all forming a second chamber above the trap, bee-tignt, but with open top,1 which should be exactly on a level with the top of the hive. On top of this, place the hive into which you wish to introduce the new swarm. The large chamber of the self-hiver then will open at the top, directly into the empty hive, and the swarm following their queen up through the trap, will presently find themselves in their new hive. By placing a trap across the entrance to this to retain the queen, one can be 6ure the swarm will stay here, and at the same time allow the workers free passage out of and into their new horned By this method one may leave the apiary to look after itself for the day; without fear of losing a swarm ol bees,, and find them on his return rat night already hived and settled in their new* quarters.—American Gardening. Green Food for Poultry. The feeding of green food to poultry in summer demands some attention, says the Farmers' Home Journal, especially if the fowls are confined in the yards. It is usually the custom to chop green food to a fine condition and place it where the fowls can reach it. Such a practice is the best for the winter, but in summer it is a saving of labor to use a spade and take a large sod to the fowls. They can thus pick at it to advantage, and will be better satisfied, not ceasing until they have eaten tops, leaves, stems and roots, as well as scratching the earth to pieces. Even clover is given in this manner, and Teg - etables need not be ent if they are a< iceptable. One thing connectecLwitm feeding green food is that the hensao not bite the grass, bnt pull, consequently when they receive green food they can supply themselves much more easily when the sod is given. A stock of clover would simply be pulled about the yard and be eaten with difficulty, but if the earth is attached to the roots, the fowls will easily .manage it The proper age to begin to feed fowls for fattening is just as soon as "they have reached maturity. They will not fatten well or rap idly until matured.

WHEN TO SELL HOGS. h September and October the Pis Sopply Usually Short. While prices for hog* fluctuate much, sometimes when it is difficult to see a sufficient reason for a change, it has generally been true that prices have been relatively higher a few weeks in September and the early part of October. At this time the supply of fat hogs is usually small. The spring pigs are not yet ready for the market. Comparatively few fall pigs are dropped. Most farmers prefer to wait until they can feed the new crop of ' com* before beginning full feeding. Ilf we may judge of the past, it will be good policy to haver any small fall pigs and brood sows, which it is not desired to retain for breeding purposes. ready for the market at this time. For years past we have thought the common practice of allowing sows to become quite thin in flesh while suckling their litters a mistake. If they are kept in fair fle„sh they can be fattened in a short time after the pigs are weaned. In several recent years such sows would have been sold for as much by the first of October an could have been obtained for them at any date notwithstanding their increase in weight. The evidence-is strong that the supply of good, fairly heavy hogs is now small. . It is quite probable they will be in good demand as cool weather comes on. With present indications as to prices for corn it would seem good economy to feed with reference to prompt fattening instead of with the desire simply of keeping' the hogsin moderate flesh—a plan of doubtful economy most generally, except for breeding animals.—Prairie Farmer. LIVE STOCK NOTES. Try to, improve vour stock every year, and thus add to vour profits aud skill. Don't let the young pigs get ravenously hungry, but do" not overfeed them. . If a calf is half fed when young it will never be the most profitable animal to keep. Give the horses the l>est feed you can get. ' They work hard and should be well treated. Use pure bred sipcs always. Pick the best females for breeders, and never breed t;o scrub stock. Every man who practices mixed farming has just as good a reason for j keeping a variety of live stock. Do you ever give the horses a drink^j in the morning before feeding them grain? If not try your own breakfast, that way once. A yearling sheep* that has been ca.refully attended to will sell in the market with as much ppofit as any other animal that is kept on the farm. Stock that is allowed to fall off in condition is always kept at more or less loss, for it costs as much or more than it originally did to put them b^ck to the weight they have fallen from. Is your horse well shod' and does his harness fit him? If not put on a pair of boots one size too large or small and let down one suspender and find, out for yourself how he feels.—Farnr News._ CONVENIENT CRATE. Said to Be Espeeiallv Valuable In the Handling of CalvesThe illustration shows a very convenient crate for handling sheep, ealves and pigs. Each end is hinged, so that the animal can be driven in at

CRATE FOB YOUNG STOCK. one end, the handles slipped into the iron sockets at the sides, the crate carried to the point desired, and the animal driven out at the other end. Such a contrivance is specially valuable in handling calves, which in many cases can neither be led, driven or coaxed along. The crate should be made light but strong, spruce being the very best wood for such constructions, as it is light but exceedingly tough.—American Agriculturist. Keep the Ducklings Dry. It is claimed that the Pekin duck will thrive well without ponds. It is true that the ducklings can be more easily raised away from ponds or streams than when allowed to have aocess thereto, but this is due to the fact that most ducklings are hatched with incubators during the winter season, when the cold waters of the pond would chill them and cause loss. Woung ducks will thrive better if they are kept away from the ponds until they are well feathered; but despite all claims in favor of the Pekin duck as being adapted to dry locations, my experience is that the adult ducks are more contented when they have a pond. Like all aquatic birds, they enjoy th? water, and though they will thrive on an open field away from water (except for drinking), yet they give the best results when they have the privileges of a pond.—Farm and Fireside. Spading the Poultry Yard. The yard should be spaded as often in the season as possible, in order to turn under the filth, and also to have the surface clean and free from weeds, in order that less dampness may exist in winter. When the ground is frozen over m winter or baked in summer, the droppings will accumulate in the yard; but if they are carefully spaded and raked until- the surface is smooth, the cleaning can be done more easily. On sandy soils the spading of the yitrds loosens the top soil and permits the rains to carry down much of the fil th that would otherwise remain. »A thorough cleaning up late in the season, before cold weather sets in, and good drainage afforded, will greatly aid in preventing disease in the flohla —Farm and Fireside.

A SLAVE FROM BOYHOOD. (From the Red H~ino, Minn., Republican.) “I am now twenty-four years old,’’ said Edwin Swanson, of White Rock, Goodhue county, Minn., to a Republican represents* tire, “and as you can see 1 am not very large of stature. When 1 was eleven years old 1 became afflicted with a sickness which baffled the skill ar\d knowledge of the ’ physician. I was not taken suddenly ill, but on the contrary lean hardly state the exact time when it began. The first symp toms were pains in my back and restless nights. The disease did not trouble me much at first, but it seemed to have settled In my body to stay, and my bitter experience during the last thirteen years proved that to be the case. 1 was of course a child, and never dreamed of the suffering in store for me.. 1 complained to my parents and they concluded that in time I would outgrow my trouble, but when they heard me groaning during my sleep they became thoroughly alarmed. Medical advice was sought but to no avail, 1 grew rapidly worse and. was soon unable to move about and finally became confined continually to my bed. The best doctors that could be had were consulted, but did nothing for me. 1 tried various kimlS of extensively advertised patent medicines with but the samo result, “For twelve long years I was thus a suffei jr, in constant agony without respite, abscesses formed on my body in rapid succession and the world indeed locked very dark to me. About this time when all hope was gone and nothing seemed left but to resign myseir to my most ’ .tter fate my attention was called to Dr. Williams’ Piuk I Pills for Pale People. Like a drowning j man grasping at a straw, in sheer despera- ] tion I concluded to make oue more attempt j —not to regain my health (I dare not to i hope so much; but if possible to ease my ; pain. ' “I bought a box of the pills and they ; setyned to do me good. I felt encouraged \ and continued their use. Al ter taking six i boxes I was up and able to walk around the house. 1 have not felt so well for thirteen i years as during the past year. Only one year have I taken Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills and I am able uow to do chores and attend to light duties. “Do I hesitate to let you publish what I have said! No. Why should If It is the truth and I am only too glad to let other sufferers know my experience.

Y. "jf, A Question Not to Be Pressed. Robert McLean, of Greensboro, N. C., was once practicing before Judge Tourgee, when he lost his temper at some ruling, and used some petulant expression. Instantly the judge said: “Mr. McLean, the court does not understand you. Do you mean to express contempt for the court?*’- Recovering his temper, McLean, balancing himself, said with the greatest good humor: “I hope your honor will not press that question.” Recrmlniation. “How on earth did that scheme of mine get out?” said the emancipated woman to her husband. “I told no one but yon, and you promised to keep it to yourself.” “Why, my dear, I only told it to Mr. Dinsmoreand Mr. Spudds and Mr. Keedick and Mr. Ricketts and—” “That's jnst like a man!” was the woman's angry interruption. “A man can’t keep a secret.”—Judge.

A CORNER FOR SOLDIERS. Or the recruits In the British array last year 83,094 were born in England, 8,56? in Scotland and 3,860 in Ireland. Thirteen hundred and five of these young soldiers were under seventeen years of age. England proposes to fortify the island of Perim in the Strait of Babel Mandeb, through which all vessels using the Suez canal must pass. Ilitherto the garrison has consisted of forty Sepoys, under a native Indian officer. Promotion in the Ouards will hereafter be on the same terms as in the rest of the British army, since Col. Paget, of the Scots Guard*, who has just attained his colonelcy, is the last officer still serving who joined the corps before the abolition of the purchase system. Capt. JonN M. Brooke, a professor at the Virginia Military institute, is one of the few survivors of the MonitorMcrrimac fight. He served on the confederate man-of-war, anti has an additional claim to be remembered as the inventor of the deep-sea sounding apparatus. Two dozen officers of every grade, from colonel down to sergeant, and representing every branch of service in the German army, have just left Berlin for Valparaiso. Their services have been lent to the Chilian government by Emperor William for the purpose of reorganizing the Chilian army. They are to remain in South America for a term of three j-ears. CARICATURE CULUNGS. In the seventeenth century religion was the chief theme of the caricatures, i Other themes were the reformation j and Louis XIV. A wall in a Roman street, which | was closed up about 100 A. D.. when i discovered in 1857 wa& found scratched all over with rude caricatures. One was a gibe at the Christians. The South sea bubble produced caricatures galore. The only woman artist in this line was Mrs. Trollope, whose volume on American domestic manners in 1882 created a sensation. The ancients enjoyed cartoons just as we do and poked satirical fun at each other by pictures: Tire walls of Pompeii when dng u? were covered in many cases with chalk cartoons of local happenings and with scenes from comic plays. Caricature is a ^univer>:al practice among the Chinese and Japanese, but owing to their crude taste and lack of perspective their efforts are not interesting to outsiders. The Greeks, strange to say, when they wanted to indulge in caricature chose their gods as subjects. ’ ' . That the Egyptians were a goodnatured set and fond of wine may be learned from the caricatures they left. One belonging to the New York Historical society was evidently a burlesque on some well-known picture. It shows a.lion seated on a throne receiving from a fox (high priest) an offering of a goose and a fan. AMONG THE CELESTIALS. The most beautiful women of China are of Soo-Chow. They are, as a rule, prettier than the women of Japan. In spite of their mpdesty Chinese girls do flirt and in propeFEuropoan fashion. At church they make eyes at the young men and on the way to school. The Chinese thrash rice by taking a handful and beating a log with it to scatter the kernels on the ground. The farmers break up the soil and punch holes in it for seeds with a stick. Chinese fish with cormorants. The birds sit on sticks projecting over the water and are trained by being starved and then throttled so they cannot swallow the fish they catch. They are rag-ged-looking birds with enormous beaks. As compared with Japan, one feature of every view is strikingly in favor of China. The dress and behavior of the Chinese will not offend Europeans. The women are modest and dress in a baggy garment which completely covers them. The merchant class of China is composed of polite, patient, extremely shrewd, well-dressed pattern shopkeepers. The leisure class is graceful, polished and amiable, but the peasantry reminds one of the country folk of Europe, excepting Russia.
