WOMEN WHO HUNT.
All Klniln of Gnmo Fall Ilornro Tlictn and
Special Weapon Aro Mitdo for Tliclr
Vho.
A newspaper said tho othor day that
as rlilo shooting' required a stendy
nerve and a good oyo few women wero
capable of using tho most dollcato of
firearms. As a matter of fact, when a
woman has had an equal chanco with
men at riilo practlco she has moro than
demonstrated her ability to equal man
with tho weapon.
Every year women po to Maine, to
Canndu, to tho Hoclties, to Africa, to
India, and slioot door from runways,
mooso from boats, and tlgors from tho
backs of elephants. They also take
their alpen-stoek and strap crampons
on their feet, to seek tho chamois of
tho blnalc Alps, and It Is pleasing to
noto that tho dlfilcultlcs of tho preci
pices and tho shyness of much hunted
game aro not too much for the hunt
ress, with cheeks mado rosy by tho
thin cold air of hlfrh attitudes, slnco
Bho fetches her gamo down nmn-fnsh-ion.
So far as is known no woman
lias over killed an elephant, but lions,
tigers, frrlzzly, Russian and black
bears, panthers, leopards, deer of
most if not all kinds, and tho
uplands, long1 shoro and sea birds have
fallen whan woman have pressed tho
triggers of their weapon.
So important has woman becomo in
tho hunting field that tho manufactur
ers havo had to pay special attontion
to weapons for her use. Tho guns
must not be so heavy as thoso for men.
Tho coming of smokolcss powders and
long, slender bullets fired from six or
seven pound rifles has put women on a
footing1 besido men, for tho now rlllcs

THE FARMING WORLD.
TAKING OFF HONEY.
Usoful Hints ItoKitrriliiK tho When nud
How of This TuhIc.
Those persons who wish to have a
vory fine article of comb honey In sec
tions, something to please the cyee, will
be very particular to not leave their
honey on the hives until It becomes
what beekeepers call "travel-stained."
If left on even but a short time after
being finished, the bees, by traveling
over the delicate white comb with their
gummy feet, will darken it so ns to spoil
it for exhibition purposes or for realiz
ing a first class price for it when taken
to market.
Honey is much improved in quality
by remaining on the hives n few weeks
after being finished. It will become
more dense In texture, and nlmost nil
experienced beekeepers ngrcc that It
has a more delicate tnste or flavor, even
though It Is somewhat darker and less
plcnslng to the eye.
It is best to remove all white honey
thnt from clover nnd bnsswood before
the dnrk honey, which is usually gnth
rred from buckwheat, goldenrod, etc.,
begins to come In, or you will have
vlitc nnd dark honey in your sections,
which would spoil It for market. An
other thing for you to remember is thnt
the bees will not be Idle if they enn help
it. So when the honey flow stops they
will very soon carry the honey from the
super to the brood nest, first from the
uncapped cells, after which they will
uncnp the cells nnd spoil the sections.
If the object Is to got honey to please
the eye, it should be removed as fast as
it is all capped over; only in this way
can you get the whitest honev. I prefer
to remove a super nt a time, if the honey
is nearly all capped over. As bees are
more apt to finish sections in the cen
ter of the super first, I make It a point
to place the unfinished sections on the
outside of an empty super to take thi
place of the one removed, if one is need
ed; this will induce the bees to more
readily go to work In the empty ense.
To remove the honey it will be neces
sary to have the smoker in good order,
using- only the best elenn smoker fuel if
you would nvoid soiling the sections
with soot or smoke. Puff a very little
smoke into the entrnnce of the hive to
throw the bees oil' their guard, then be
sure to remove the super so it can be
readily removed. Now rnisc the cloth
or cover nt one corner nnd puff In tho
smoke lightly, then drop it and raise
nnother corner of the cover, smoking
nnd dropping ns before. Now gradual
ly remove the cloth, smoking the bees
down while so doing. If the smoking Is
well done almost nil the bees will leave
the super. If the bees have not nearly
all left give them a little more smoke.
Now quickly remove the super, which
if loosened ns directed can be readily
done.
The super enn now be carried to some
room, to the honey house, if you hnve
one, nnd the bees, If any are left, will
Foon lenve the sections nnd they can be
released through a window or screen.
This removing of the super must be
done expeditiously or the bees will re
turn to the super, and the result will be
the uncapping of the honey and a big
job to drive the bees down. It is com
paratively nn easy matter to remove the
section honey while bees are gathering
honey rapidly, but when bees are idle
the removing of honey is more of a task,
nnd unless great care is taken robbing
is apt to result. If no honey is dropped
about the hives or yard, or if bees are
not allowed access to the honey re
moved from the hives, robbing will be
avoided.
Man' beekeepers nre using the bce
esenpe and have less trouble to get the
bees from nmong the sections. It is
only necessary to place the escape be
low the super, when in n short time tlu
bees will have left the super, unless a
queen should hnppen to be present.

NOTES FOR SHEPHERDS.
It is sudden changes in the weather
that affect sheep and lambs more than
anything else.
The price of feeding sheep is simply
out of reach of some buyers who feed
for the margin there is in the busi
ness. Sheep or lambs must not be allowed
to run on rape while it is frosted.
Wherever they touch a leaf with frost
on it it will break oil' and die.
Iowa sheep feeders have recently
purchased 10,000 lambs and.ewes in a
single Colorado county. Trey were
shipped to Iowa to be fed.
There is nothing better to sustain the
vigor of a rani than a liberal feed of
wheat bran. It has nearly all the phos
phates of wheat, and these nourish the
nervous system.
Now that sheep feeders nre gel ting
about ns much for lambs as for sheep
a year older, the lamb trade is develop
ing wonderfully. A revolution upon
this basis seems to be working its way
through the live stock trade entire. It
at least assures a quicker return ou
money Invested. Ilural World.
Failures In Cooking Feed.
The failures consequent upon feed
ing cooked feed to hogs havo resulted
from bad management. Through care
lessness the hogs may have been al
lowed to gluttonize themselves and lose
their appetite. Tho ration may have
been deficient, the feed may have been
ground too coarse und then not thor
oughly cooked, tho feed may have been
made too sloppy, it may have been too
dry, it may have been fed too hot or
too cold, it may have been fed in filth
nnd dirt, it inny hae been fed too ir
regular, and if fed to young pigs it
may ha?o been nllowed to sour, and
then failure would of course follow,
nnd the short-sighted feeder would at
tribute it to cooking the feed rather
than to his own carelessness. Fann
ers' Jieview.

The winter care of breeding stock
If. likely to be neglected. Regular and
moderate work is the best means oE
exercise for either stallions or mares.
I, frequently happens, however, that
the farmer or breeder has more hoises
than he has work for during the winter.
In this caso other means must bo pro
vided. Some regular system should Lo
fidopted. Tho brood inures will faro
better on good blue grass pasture, with
access to a roomy, open shed for a little
fodder and a light grain ration, than
they will with high feeding in warm,
close stables. They can be wintered in
this manner much cheaper, nnd with
wiKtly better results, thnn by the moro
expensive methods of close stablicr.

These special complaints from which so
many women suffer arc not necessary. Dr.

It is not n haphazard medicine. It in not
