No matter how healthy and vlfcor

watch for news of a possible out

your neighborhood.
The sturdiest hogs will curl up and
die when the germs of this hog pest
Are introduced into their system
'Clean quarters, pure water, dry quar

while for themselves, but they will not
keep cholera out of a herd.

hogs should be watched, and any new

FEW PRINCIPLES
OF BEE-KEEPING
Essence of All Profitable Work Is
to Keep the Colonies Strong
and Vigorous.
Tthe Importance of scientific apicul
ture is being slowly but surely recog
nized. With a wider knowledge of the
part bees play in the pollination of
fruit blossoms and the spread of rural
•education generally, bee-keeping can
not any longer be regarded as merely
a hobby, but as one of the most Im
portant of the minor branches of the
.science of agriculture.
Although conditions differ, the prln
elples of bee-keeping are the same the
world over. The following axioms
should be noted:
1. Bees gorged with honey never
volunteer an attack.
2: i Bees may always
made
peaceable by inducing them to accept
iiiquid sweets.
3. Be*« when frightened by smoke
!flll themselves with honey and lose
-all disposition to sting, unless they
;are hurt.
be
4. Bees dislike any quick move
xnents about their hive, especially any
motion which jars their combs.
6. In districts where forage Is
abundant only for a short period, the
Sargest yield of honey will be secured
*iv a very moderate Increase of colo
nies.
6. A moderate increase In colonies
In any one season will. In the long
run prove to be the easiest, safest and
cheapest mode of managing bees.
7. A queenless colony, unless sup
plied with a queen, will inevitably
dwindle away or be destroyed by the
•wax moth or by robber bees.
8. The formation of new colonies
should ordinarily be confined to tho
seal on when bees are accumulating
boney. and if this or any other opera
lion niurt be performed when forage
;Äs scarce the greatest precautions
[•should be used to prevent robbing.
The essence of all profitable bee
Ikeeplng is contained in the one golden
gule: "Keep the colonies strong." If
anyone cannot succeed In doing this
the more money he Invests In bees the
{heavier will be his losses, while if his
.colonies are strong he will prove a
bee-master as well as a bee-keeper.

Variety for Sheep.
•Sheep are partial to a change of

perms to be spread by buzzards, dogs
and other carrion eaters,
Purial of the bodies is satisfactory
only when the are sprinkled with
quicklime and buried at a depth of
three to four feet. Many herds have
been wiped out by disease carried
into their ranges by prowling dogs
carrying bones and pieces of carrion
through the fields.
There are no breeds of hogs that
are immune from the cholera. There
are certain individuals among a herd
that show great resistance to the dis
ease, but they are few in number,
So far the efforts of breeders to pro
duce such a strain have been failures.
As to rearing, feeding and caring for
a herd fo farefully that cholera germs
cannot hurt them, it Is impossible,
Anything moved frem an Infected
farm to a place that is not infected
may carry the seeds of the disease.
Of course hogs are most apt to carry
it. but the utmost precautions should
be taken that no animals, implements
or foodstuff^ should be brought from
an Infected place and left where the
know of it the better chance they
have of keeping it isolated in one com
munity. It Is a duty that every hog
raiser owes to himself and neighbors,
to get word to the proper authorities
as soon as possible that the necessary
steps may be taken.
hogs might be exposed to contact
with them. Sick hogs are the most
common of disease carriers.
State veterinarians are always
anxious to be informed of the out
breaks of cholera. The sooner they

P you wish to busy yourself pre
paring for the coming spring and
summer, you can be assured of the
success of certain new styles in ad
vance. It is wise to be ready for the
season which lures us out of doors,
and to make the most of it.
Here is the sweetest of summer
gowns, made of silk muslin and lace
with a fichu and a belt of satin rib
bon. Similar gowns are on display
made of a variety of materials. There
are embroidered cotton crepes, first
of all. Nets, with flounces edged with
lace, embroidered crepe de chine and
voiles. But always lace and more lace.
Point d'esprit net is found very
tul and fine flowered voiles, lawns and
batiste.

Among the handsomest of gowns
are those of white net showing financ
ings of the net edged with narrow
black chantilly lace. Others of sheer
cotton crepe with fold of black maline
laid under the edge of flouncings.
Much hand embroidery appears
the gowns of crepe, voile, etc. But
it is of a kind that does not try the
eyes. Long sprays of flowers of mod
erate size—like the carnation, for
ample—are done with heavy floss in
long bold stitches. The effect is beau
tiful.
