WORK FOR SECTION HON^Y. Money Can Be Made by Handling It in This Form. While honey cut out of large frames Is quite popular in some regions, and sold under the name of bulk honfey, and while larger quantities of comb hpney can thus be produced than in any other way, the greater part of comb honey is produced in small boxes called sections, folding about one pound each, as shown in cut. The.kind most In use is 4*4x4*4x1% Inches, outside measure. My prefer­ ence, says Farm and Home, is for the T-super, although it is not most gen­ erally in use. The grade of comb honey founda­ tion used in sections is called thin super, although some use extra thin A Section of Honey. super, and the amount used varies all the way from a triangular piece meas­ uring one inch on each side up to enough to fill the section practically full. I consider it economy to use the larger amount, a bottom started five- eighths of an inch deep, and a top starter coming down within one-eighth inch of this, the starting coming with­ in about one-sixteenth of an inch of the wood at each side. When the sec­ tions are thus filled with foundation there is no need of an excluder to keep the queen out of the super. Bees do not so readily begin work !n section supers as in extracting su­ pers with combs that have been pre­ viously used. In order to start work more promptly, it is advisable to Use in the first super of the season one or more bait sections. These are sections that had been partly filled at the close Of the previous season, and the honey then emptied out by the bees after the sections were taken from the hives. A single bait in the middle of a super will answer, and in a poor season I have had 100 or more of these baits filled and sealed and not another sec­ tion touched. If only when supers are thus given, the bees would start to work in them, and keep at work in them, what a blessing! Rut alas, just about-the time work is fairly started in the surplus apartments, some colony will take a notion to swarm, stopping all surplus work, and if left to its own devices sends out a second swarm some eight days after the first, and then at inter­ vals of a day or two other swarms, sometimes five or six in all, the last of them being mere handfuls, and only a vexation. Other colonies will take the same notion, and the season will end with a large proportion of worth­ less colonies and little or no surplus honey. Although it is not an easy thing to prevent each colony from swarming at least once, it is well to know some of the things that tend to prevent exces­ sive swarming. First of all comee abundance of room, and here extract­ ed honey has the advantage. C. P. Dadant, on^ of the heaviest producers of extracted honey in the country, uses very large hives, with no exclud­ ers, and not more than one colony in 20 swarms. Keeping down the temperature is important. PMce the hives in shade where there is a free circulation of air, as under shade trees. Also let there be plenty of ventilation of the hive itself by .means of large en­ trances, or by raising the hive on blocks. When working for extracted honey, an opening of one-quarter in the entire width of the hive may be allowed to each story. DRY FEEDING OF FOWLS. Opinion of One Poultcylhan That It la Not a* Good as Mash. I notice in a report of the Ontario "Station that the feeding of mashes to poultry is discouraged. If one will but read the report they will see that in the feeding of the hens at that station the very necessity for feeding mashes is removed. The men that advocate the feeding of mashes are generally right, for they do that mere­ ly to lessen the work of the digestive organs in grinding up dry grain. I see, in looking over this report, that the manager of the poultry depart­ ment says that he has been using sprouted grain in the place of the mashes. Very well, that is just what we might expect. The idea in the feed­ ing of mashes is carried out in the feeding of the sprouted grain. A lit­ tle further on I see that he is also feeding soaked grain and finds soaked oats very good. There is another substitute for dry grain. Still further on I read that mangels and meat also are fed. The report Says that "dur­ ing very cold weather in the winter they fed occasionally a little corn, either in the morning or evening," and that this is fed usually in the litter. Now the writers who oppose feed­ ing mashes will take this report as an argument on their side, and I am will­ ing to admit that in the establishment of the professional feeder or raiser of poultry there is little or no need for mashes. Rut I find that on the farm we do not have the great variety of food for poultry that is had in such establishments. On the ordinary farm the fowls get grain and water almost entirely during the whole season when the birds have no access to green things out of doors. They get the scraps from the table, but in a flock of perhaps 200 fowls the table scraps do not go far. So it is a good idea to induce every farmer keeping fowls un­ der such conditions to feed a mash once a day preferably in the morning, for at that time the fowls will have empty crops and will make the most of the mash. At night the fowls, be­ ing perhaps not hungry, much of the mash may be left to freeze. "If farmers can be induced to give a warm mash once a day it will save much sickness among the fowls, for most of the troubles come from indi­ gestion. I have also found that most cases of indigestion are curable by feeding no corn or other grain for awhile, but feeding soft foods. The mash is very easily made by putting the meal or middlings in a pail and pouring in boiling water at night, al­ lowing it to stand in the cellar or the kitchen till morning. By morning this food will be all cooked. JUDGING FROM OWN CASE. • -- ' « Deacon Recognizes the Wants of a Fel­ low Sufferer. General Booth, the head of the Sal­ vation Arriay, wad discussing the anti- suicide bureaus that his church has opened. % "Kindness and charity," he said, "are factors of these bureaus. The charity will be of the right kind, I trust. There are, you know, two kinds of charity, and too much of it is like the •barber's. "There was a poor deacon in War­ wick who had no money and needed to be shaved, and he went from barber to barber, but none of them, despite his holy office, was willing to shave him for nothing. "In the end, though, he found a barber who, on hearing his tale, said gruffly: "Sit down there in that chair." "And this barber shaved him. But the razor he used! Dear me| Its dull edge and the nicks in it! Under the operation the tears flowed In rivulets down the poor deacon's cheeks. "Suddenly the barber's dog in the adjoining room set up a terrific howl­ ing. " 'Be still.there!' cried the barber. And he muttered anxiously: 'What ©an they be doing to him?' " 'Alas!' said the deacon, 'I shouldn't wonder if some one was shaving him out of charity.' " WORN TO A SKELETON. A Wonderful Restoration Caused a Sensation in a Pennsylvania Town. Mrs. Charles N. Preston, of Elkiand, Pa., says: "Three years ago I found that my housework was becoming a bur­ den. I tired easily; had no ambition and was failing fast. My complexion got yel­ low, and I lost over 50 pounds. My thirst w a s t e r r i b l e , a n d there was sugar in the kidney secretions. My doctor kept me on a strict diet, but as his medicine was not helping me, I began using Doan's Kidney Pills. They helped me at once, and soon all traces of sugar disappeared. I have regained my former weight and am perfectly well." Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. TOLD HIM THE TRUTH. NEW H0ME8 IN THE WEST.

BRUTALITY OF MEDICAL ETHICS. MAKES CLEANING EASIER. Put a Dropping Board Under Your Perches in Chicken House. Why not have a dropping board in your chicken house and keep it clean? Fifteen minutes once a week will be time enough to clean after 100 hens, Roosts and Dropping Board. and you won't dread going into it. After cleaning the board cover it with ashes or slaked lime. Have roosts all on a level, says Missouri Valley Farm­ er, and the hens won't crowd. CHICKEN CHAT. Sell the Old Roosters. Again let us say it--sell the old roosters. The very next time you go to town, crate the old fellows up and take them along. They are only board­ ing with you now and giving nothing for their board. They rush in and gob­ ble all the chickens' feed they can get, are often mean to the smaller chickens and are not even an orna­ ment to the flock. Of course this does not refer to the pure breds of high scoring class, but to the lot usually found on the farms. The trouble is. too many of this kind are still found on the farms. The demand for poultry products is such that there is no danger of an over-supply. The success with poultry depends on the little things as much as on the large things. f Charcoal and grit are as important f ks food and water. Do not think of j trying to raise chicks without both. Many a country boy and girl might make a neat little sum of money year­ ly by keeping a flock of chickens. Experiments in confining laying tur­ keys are showing that it does not greatly affect the fertility of the eggs. It takes about a handful of grain to fill the crop of a fowl at night. This is a safe guide to follow in feeding yarded fowls. Pure, cool water is one of the es­ sentials in keeping the flock healthy. Do not permit the birds to drink from stagnant pools. A handful of black walnut leaves in the sitting hens* nests and a few limbs broken off and hung in the hen house keep the place free of all lice and mites. Make Chicken House Snug. Cracks in the chicken house are not good things to have in the winter, when a cold wind drives snow through them, and there can be better things In the summer, when the festive mite must have a place of shelter. However, it is next to impossible to build with hard pine lumber and not have cracks. The best thing to do is to stop them from the outside, with battens, to keep out the cold, and stop them with crude oil or coal tar from the inside, to keep out the mites. Everybody Drag. "When the smiles of spring appear. Drag the roads; When the summer time is here, Drag the roads; When the torn is in the ear. In the winteT cold and drear. Every season of the year. Drag the roads! "When you've nothing else to do. Drag the roads; If but for an hour or two. Drag the roads; It will k»>ep them good and new. With a pirpoae firm and true, JPall in line! It's up to you! t Prag tlw roads! The Hen Louse. The hen louse lives on the hen night and day. He goes about with her in all her Wanderings, whether foraging for food or hunting a nest.' Naturally he takes up a place of residence on some part of the body of the hen where it will be difficult for the fowl to dislodge him. He has a number of favorite retreats. One of these is on top of the head, for it Is certain that the hen cannot peck him there. Anoth­ er is at the base of the wing feathers, where the closely lying quills protect him. Another place is at the base of the large feathers of the tail, which also protect him. He also hides under the wings, but is more easily found by the savage fowl, who is always on the outlook for him. Grease is his deadly enemy, for it drives him out of all of his hiding places. Watch the Flock. Watch the flock closely during late summer. This is the time when dis­ eases and insect pests gain a foothold. Don't let the flock remain in that back pasture without inspection more than 24 hours of the time. A cur-dog may destroy your choicest eves you are careless. A Great Surgeon Barred from Mem­ bership in Medical Association. (From the National Druggist for June, 190") Dr. Augustus Charles Bernays, who died a few days ago in St. Louis, was, probably, the foremost surgeon in the United States. His fame was co­ extensive with the civilized world. He was not only an operator of the high­ est order, but a tireless and exhaus­ tive worker in the field of original surgery. He performed the first suc­ cessful Caesarian section in 1889 in St. Louis, and also the first successful coeliotomy for gunshot wound of the abdomen and the first gallstone opera­ tion in Missouri. A record held by Dr. Bernays has never been equaled: Out of eighty-one successive cases of appendicitis which necessitated operations, seventy-one in succession were with t perfectly satisfactory re­ sults, the seventy-second patient fail­ ing of recovery, but the subsequent nine cases were successfully treated. And yet, with such a record, match­ less as was his skill, varied and ex­ tensive as was his learning, wonder­ ful as were his accomplishments, he was not considered, by the American Medical Association, as worthy of membership in that organization. No charges^ were ever brought against him which, in the remotest degree, reflected on his qualifications as a surgeon; his moral character was never the subject of attack; he was never accused of having ^one any­ thing unbecoming a man or a gentle­ man. "The head and front of his of­ fending had this extent--no more!" He dared to think! He refused to mold his opinions and to govern his actions by the arbitrary rules which those whom he knew to be his infer­ iors had set up for his guidance! In other words, he could not regard the Code of Ethics of the American Medi­ cal Association as being inspired, or having any binding authority on him where his judgment told him it was wrong. And so, twenty years ago or more, on account of some trivial in­ fraction of this sacred "Code," a movement was started to expel him I from the local association, which was J only defeated by hiB hastily sending in his resignation. As membership in l the A. M. A. is dependent upon mem- ! bership in the local and State socie- i ties, his name was dropped by the ! national organization. j And so, though hfc had saved thou­ sands of lives; though other physi­ cians had profited by his art; this } brilliant surgeon; this great and able man, has, during all these years, been ; an outcast--a medical "scab;" not recognized as "et-hical" or worthy ol i fellowship Uy that body of physicians ! banded together in the American Med I leal Association! j And this is the association which ! under pretense of working for the | public good, is, in reality, only seeking to control Congress and the State Legislatures in the interest of theii own selfish schemes; which is trying to create a Cabinet position and tc place one of its members in that po­ sition; which is endeavoring by law to exclude from the use of the mails, all manufacturers of medicines who do not comply with the absurd re­ quirements that they choose to set up; which, in short, is trying to put upon the statute books of State and nation laws that will, in effect, estab­ lish a kind of medical priesthood, to which only their own members will be eligible with power and control over the health and lives of the people! God help the druggists, the drug manufacturers, physicians not mem­ bers of their guild, and the people generally, if this association ever sue ceeds in its undertaking. If it do^s, it will, after the fashion of the labor unions, dictate a "closed shop," and say to doctors who prefer to be Inde­ pendent, "You must join our union or, failing to do so, compel them to get out of the business. It will say what medicines shall be taken, and how they shall be made. It! will hedge the people about with a lot of petty regulations under pretense of protect­ ing the public health. In fine, a medl cal bureaucracy will be established tt tyrannize over the people. Let no man call this a false alarm. If there are those who are Inclined to do so, let them read thp journal ol the A. M. A. Let them scan the proceedings of the association, held always behind closed doors, and care­ fully edited, as they are, before they are published in its official organ. I they will do this they will sedythat we are not trying to create a, bugaboo t* frighten their tisiid souls. Dad-« Indignation Got the Better of His Judgment, An old German farmer, Who resided in one of the rural districts of the state of Io^a, was the father of a half-witted boy, whose lack of intel­ lect was the cause of no little anxiety and solicitude on the part of the pa­ ternal parent. "Dot poy Shon," he was heard to re­ mark in the course of a conversation with a neighbor of like Teutonic origin, "he iss not ferry bright, aber I ton't vant you to tell him because I ton't vant him to know it." Meanwhile the young hopeful was driving through the barnyard with a load of hay, which in attempting to turn a sharp corner he unfortunately upset. The old man Immediately became highly indignant. "Shon!" he bellow­ ed in a voice of thunder, "you iss a plame fool, you always vass a fool, you always vill pe a fool, you not know noddings."--Judge's Library. Sends Emigrants to Canada.

SICK HEADACHE CASE OF ECZEMA IN SOUTH. Suffered Three Years--Hands and Eye Most Affected--Now Weti and Is Grateful to Cuticura. "My wife was taken badly with ecze­ ma for three years, and she employed a doctor with no effect at all until she employed Cuticura Soap and Ointment. One of her hands and her left eye were badly affected, and when she would stop using Cuticura Soap and Ointment the eczema came back, but very slightly, but it did her a sight of good. Then we used the entire set of Cuticura Remedies and my wife is en­ tirely recovered.
