No man Is fit to boss his own farm
until he has learned to boss himself.
Some men never learn that.
Bees help to make the crops and pay
the farmer for the privilege. They are
little trouble to keep and may be the
source of a good income.
Little things on the farm amount teas
as much in the end as they do in any
other business , yet the farmer as a rule
does not pay as much attention to de
tails as does the city business man.
While plowing on the farm he had

The little town of Canon City , Colo. ,
shipped over $300,000 worth of apples

A proper combination of spade and

A good many municipalities place a
minimum butter fat limit of 3 per cent
for all peddled milk. If the dignitaries
who framed these ordinances had to
put up with milk that tested less than
the above per cent in their coffee and
on their oatmeal , a good deal more
vigor would be manifested in the prose
cution of violators of the regulation.
Specific instructions sent out with al
most every cream separator put on the
market are to the effect that the ma
chine should be thoroughly washed
and scalded each time it is used. When
it is considered that in extreme cases
slovenly patrons do not clean .their
separators ot'tener than once a week it
is not surprising that the use of the
separator in some localities is not re
sulting in a materially improved dairy
product.
Canned Prune * .
Those who have had opportunity to
pick the full ripened prune off the tree
state that it possesses a delicious quali
ty and flavor which are wanting in the
dry product of commerce. In this con
nection considerable interest is felt
both by growers and consumers of
prunes in some experiments which
have been lately conducted in the can
ning of the fresh prune , as is done so
extensively with apricots , pears and
peaches. Some of this canned product
was sent to the Philippine Islands , re
turned to the factory which put it up ,
and found to be in perfect condition.
This keeping quality of the prune when
put up fresh is a matter which seems
to have been in considerable doubt.
Now , however , that the point has been
determined , it is quite likely that
prunes will be extensively canned.
A Practlcn.l pflicln.1.
The Now York Conmiissiouer of Ag
riculture seems to be a person who
views his oflice in something more than
a purely honorary light. During last
year he and his helpers inspected dairy
herds In forty-five out of sixty-one
counties , finding G2S dairy cows out
of a total of 2,753 inspected affected
with tuberculosis. He inspected 235
milk receiving stations : , 144 of which
he reported in an insanitary condition.
The department of which he is head
not only attended to the above work ,
but found employment for 1-15 single
men and seventy-flve families as hired
lelp. Data secured by the commis-
jloner showed that there were 220,720
farms in the State , and that of this
number 2,273 were for sale or rent
Pasture for
Experiments show that as much
pork can be made from one acre of
good pasture as from one ton of shorts
or corn. The Minnesota experiment
station says that clover makes the best
hog pasture in that State , but Professor
ser Waters of Missouri says that it is
not safe or even desirable to rely upon
a single crop , excepting alfalfa where
it is an assured success , to furnish pas
ture for hogs throughout the season.
Ho recommends a succession of pas
tures from the beginning the sea
son until the hogs are ready for mar
ket , making the feed richer and more
concentrated toward the close of the
season as we approach the finishing or
fattening period. For this purpose he
recommends red clover or alfalfa , cow
peas and soy beans.
It will pay the farmer who Is rais
ing hogs to provide a good pasture ,
even if he is feeding them from other
feeds , for clovers , cow peas and soy
beans are rich in protein and make a
good adjunct to any ration. The cheap
est gains that can be made in hog
raising are whore the hogs are fed
skim milk and allowed to run on a
good pasture of either clover or ul-
f'uli'a. Where possible to do so a pas
ture is to be preferred to the dry lot
for feeding hogs , not only in the in
terest of cheapened gains , but also foi
the better health of the animals.
AIJI IO Cold Storage.
It usually pays to store only the best
grades of fruit. The poorer grades of
fruit are generally of low commercial
value and do not warrant the expense
of cold storage except when the apple
crop is scarce. Inferior fruit has been
found to deteriorate considerably in
storage from decay starting in worm
holes , around scab spots and in other
imperfections. A bruise or cut in the
skin made with the finger nails , by
dropping apples on each other in pack
ing , by emptying them into the boxes
or barrels and by handling the pack
ages roughly becomes very conspicuous
as the season advances and detracts
from the appearance of the fruit , be
sides making an easy starting phveo for
destructive rots. This is especially
true of tender skinned fall varieties ,
like the Wealthy. Most of the commer
cial losses in apples from decay are
related primarily to the rough mechani
cal handling of the fruit.
Various temperatures for the storage
of fruit have been tested. A tempera
ture of 32 degrees gives the most satis
factory result in commercial practice ,
but the fruit keeps well for a shorter
time in a temperature as high as 30
degrees if stored quickly after picking.
The most satisfactory result is se
cured when the fruit is withdrawn
from cold storage and used while in
prime condition. If held beyond this
time it deteriorates rapidly after re
moval from the low temperature , and
if withdrawn while the fruit is prime
It appears to kee as long as apples
in the same condition of ripeness that
have not been in cold storage. Experi
ment Station , Ames , Iowa.
of Bees.
Bees may be managed for either the
production of comb honey or for ex
tracted honej- . While they will pro
duce more of the latter to the hive
than comb honey , yet the higher price
that comb honey will bring makes the
income from each amount the same.
The difTerence in the management is
that for comb honey little section boxes
are placed in shallow "supers , " or up
per stories , in which the bees build
about one pound of hone } ' per box ,
while for extracted honey the upper
story is deeper and contains , instead
of section boxes , large frames , iu which
the bees build their combs and store
their product , the honey being extract
ed by the keeper and the combs used
over again.
In comb honey the bees have to build
now combs each time , but for extract
ed honey the same combs are used over
and over again , and thus the bees have
time to give more extracted honey per
hive than comb honey.
The method of extracting the honey
is very simple , the first thing being to
throw a puff of smoke from the smoker
into the entrance of the hive , and in
about two minutes the bees will be sub
dued. The next thing to do is to raise
the top of the hive and lift out the
frames one by one , and after gently
brushing the bees off , to carry the
frames to some room in which the ex
tractor is kept. All Is now ready for
extracting. Taking a knife especially
made for the purpose , the beekeeper
shares off the cappings , or tops , of the
cells , and , replacing two combs in the
extractor , he gently whirls them
around for about five minutes , and at
the end of that time every drop of hon
ey has been extracted and the combs
are returned to the bees , who fill them
again in a few days.
One advantage of running bees for
extracted honey over that of comb hon
ey is that it does not lead to swarming ;
but as this perfectly natural procirfw
comes from lack of space In which to
store the honey that is at times comlflg
very freely from the fields , it can l > e
controlled by giving more boxes to he
filled , and by clipping the wings ef tile
queen , in which case every swam can
be hired.

LUKE E. WEIGHT.IS stated that as

ly gave out a formal statement regard
ing his high esteem , for Secretary Taft ,
it was not deemed necessary to repeat
what was then said. A statement was
given out at the White House concern
ing Mr. Wright's appointment and the
reasons therefor.
Luke E. Wright , appointed Secretary

TEXANS LYNCH ELEVEN BLACKS
Race War Is Threatened as Result
of the Murder of Whites.
Eleven negroes were lynched and two
white men killed in a race war in Sabine -
bine county , Tevas , the State rangers
were ordered out to restore peace , arm
ed bands of whites and Macks faced
each other in several places and fur
ther trouble was feared. A mob storm
ed the jail at Houston Sunday night ,
seized six negroes accused of the mur
der of a white farmer , hanged five to
one limb and shot the sixth when the
noose broke and he was running away.
The bodies of three other negroes were
found' ' riddled with bullets. Two others
were shot to death Sunday night. Three
were hanged Monday night near San
Augustine.
The trouble grew out of the 'killing
of Hugh Dean and Aaron Johnson ,
white farmers , by negroes. The murder
of Johnson was particularly brutal. He
was playing with his baby in his home
wren a shot from a shotgun fired
th 'ough the window blew his head off.
A negro named Perry Price confessed
to killing Johnson , but said his broth
er-in-law , Bob Wright , gave him 5 to
do the job. Price and Wright are in
jail. They were rescued by rangers
from a mob that attempted to lynch
them. The five men hanged together
were accused of the Dean murder. '
THE LID DOES NOT FIT.
How Prohibition Laws in the South
Are Evaded.
That the 'South ' , particularly Georgia ,
is not dry , despite prohibition laws ,
was shown at the national convention
of the United States Brewers' Associa
tion , held in Milwaukee , and the opera
tion of the prohibitory laws in the
South was one of the chief topics at
the convention. Although the licensed
saloon has passed away in the South ,
the convention was shown that liquor
by the car load is being distributed in
the various States.
The brewers are still doing business
in Georgia , though the brand of beer
placed on sale is no longer called beer ,
and has only about half the amount of
alcohol contained in the old beverage.
The article now manufactured by the
brewers , to conform to the State law
of Georgia , is called .malt ale. " "bud , "
"home brew , " or ' 'near beer , " aid ] con
tains less alcohol than the beers former
ly turned out. Outside of these drinks ,
however , there are hundreds of other
concoctions being sold in the grocery
stores , drug stores and dispensaries.
Monitor Florida a Target.
The long-contemplated experiment in
modern gunnery to test the exact effect
of shots on an armored vessel was begun
in Hampton roads recently , when thc-
raonitor Florida was used as a target by
her sister ship , the monitor Arkansas * .
One of the shots from a 12-inch gun hit
the side of the Florida's turret , smash
ing the 12-inch armor plate , but so far
spending its force that tiiie cloth screen
placed inside the turret ports showed no
damage. THie turret was occupied by a
dummy man arranged with springs so as
to record the shocks of the firing. The
experimental military mast built on the
deck o the Florida also withstood several
shocks from the 5-inch and 12-iuch guns
of the Arkansas. TGie turret was not
nmterially injured by the 12-inch shot.

Dun's Review , the commercial failures in
May were 1,379 in number and $13,043.-

most emnirnging siqn. It is still some
what larger than the' failures of Max

Good to make Cascarets Candy
Cathartic. The first box made
For the its appearance in 1896 , and th >
enthusiastic endorsement oi ,
American People the people has been bestowed
upon Cascarets ever since.
The sale today is at the
rate of OVER A MILLION
BOXES A MONTH , proving that the American people recog
nize , that what is BEST FOR THEM is none too good.
Why this enormous patronage ?
The answer is simple : Cascarets are pure , clean , sweet ; ,
mild , fragrant , harmless but effective little tablets for the treat
ment and cure of Constipation and all Bowel Troubles. They
are put up in r * at little enamel boxes , easy to buy , easy tcr
carry ( in vest-pocket or purse ) , easy to take and easy of action. ,
always reliable , always the same , they "work while you sleep1
and wake you up feeling fine in the morning.
They not only regulate tfte movement and stimulate the muscular walls o
the bowels , but they keep the ENTIRE CANAL CLEAN and antiseptic , forcing
out and destroying all disease germs that breed in the accumulated filth unless
promptly and regularly discharged. Therefore , they are a great preventive ci
disease , and may be taken continuously as a precautionary measure.
The new Pure Drugs Act , adopted by Congress on June 30 , 1906 , and in1
effect January 1 , 1907 , is a GOOD LAW and means better and PUREE ,
drugs for the American People. We endorse it and will live up to it 5o-
SPIRIT and LETTER , an easy task , as we have always been actuated :
by the same principles and no changes are required in our formula or pack
age.
age.We adopted OUR OWN PURE DRUG LAW in 1896 when the first
box of Cascarets came on the market and have lived and worked and pro
duced under it ever since.
To-dayafter a record of nearly 100,000,000 boxes sold , Cascarets STANB >
the greater in PURITY , QUALITY and MEDICINAL MERIT than an ? "
other preparation for Bowel trouble in all the world.
This should be a great argument for any one , to try Cascarets AT'
ONCE , and be healthier .and happier for it. Some people have CHRONIC
CONSTIPATION with all the horrors derived from it ; others have HAB
ITUAL CONSTIPATION from carelessness and neglect but nearh ?
EVERYBODY has OCCASIONAL CONSTIPATION , which , if not
promptly taken care of is liable to result in its degeneration into the wcrsa
forms and cause great suffering and perhaps death.
Cascarets , if taken patiently and regularly , will remedy all of these
awful troubles , but if taken promptly at the very first sign of an irregular
ity of the Bowels , will act as the FINEST PREVENTIVE ever discovered
and will keep all the machinery running in good order. 755

of satisfaction or money refunded. All druggists , lOc , 25c , SGc * .
