LOUIS WALTER,
Muiftctirtr of ill Holer U
S*lt*>l* for Convey tag Iroaa On to Hat
•heap or Ualv**.
A rank for conveying sheep, calves,
pigs or poultry to any desired place la>
something which every farmer needs
more or leaa. I herewith send A draw-
ing of what I term “a handy conveying
rack.” suitable far carrying one to
three sheep or calves, according to aiae.
It is easily and quickly made of any
kind of soft wood. Mine la at baaawood
two feat wide, four feet long, three feet
high, corner post* of hardwood 2x3;
bottom and top frame boards six inches
CARRYING BACK,
wide, three-fourths inch thick, nailed
to poets. There are two floors, or decks,
and the roof la composed of material
half an Inch thick. Slats 2 y, inches
wide. A strip 1x6 inches, lour inches
long, la nailed lengthwise In the oenter
flush with the Inside of the bottom
boards to strengthen the bottom floor.
Both floors are set In loose, so
they can be removed If necessary. The
two floors are convenient for dividing
poultry to prevent their crowding, or
to divide turkeys from chickens. No-
tice that the gate is divided in two, and
two sets of hinges are used; so Instead
of having to open the whole gate to take
oat poultry from tbe bottom floor, only
half need be opened. Two of tbe side
slats run out to five Inches on each end
for handles. Two men can take the
rack full of poultry and set It on the
scales to weigh It The rack can be
used to advantage In various ways to
suit the owner.—William J. Loy, In N.
Y. Tribune.
BEES.
NOTES ABOUT
Beea will forage when flve days old.
Aristotle numbered beea among civil
people.
A temperature of from 70 to 80 de-
grees Fahrenheit la more favorable to
keeping honey liquid than a lower tem-
perature.
Pliny said for the uses of Ufa bees
labor, work, ordain a commonwealth,
have their private councils, their public
warlike actions, and have morality.
About one-half of the wild bees, ac-
cording to Prof. Braner, have drones
with stings, and some of the wild bees
are only one thirty-third of an inch in
length.
The time that a oolony will be actual-
ly out of a laying queen, from the date
of dequeening to the laying of anew one
reared by tbe bees alone, will be from
about 20 to 80 days.
The average weight of a prime
swarm of beea is six pounds, tbe heavi-
est being eight pounds, and the light-
est flve and one-half pounds. Second
swarms average three pounds.
Varro said Columella both heed to the
belief that the station, of bees should
be in an open, sunshiny place, little sub-
ject to the Injuries of the weather, and
far from the noise of men and cattle,
and the hive open towards the east, but
never toward the north. Water should
be near the hives, and clear, for tbe
bees to drink.
rnpwlnf Brin* for Battor.
To brine butter, moke a strong brine,
two or three pounds of salt to one gal-
lon of watesr. Place straining cloth over
mouth of churn, pour in. brine, put lid
churn, turn sharply half a dozen
times, and leave from 10 to 15 minutee.
Then lift tlhe butter out of churn Into
sieve, turn butter out on worker, leave
It a few minutes to drain, and work
gently till all superfluous moisture is
pressed out. To dry-salt butter, place
butter on worker, let it drain 10 to 15
minutes, then work gently till all the
butter comes together; place It on the
scale and weigh; theu welgh salt—for
slight salting, one-fourth ounoe; me-
dium, one-half ounce; heavy, three-
fourths ounce to the pound. Boll but-
terouton worker and carefully sprinkle
suit over surface, a little at a time; roll
up and repeat till all the salt Is used.
Shallow Pans Am th* 0wt
In the dairies of two or three cows,
where churning the whole milk is prac-
ticed, the adoption of the shallow pan
system of setting the milk and churning
the cream Instead of the whole milk,
will result in more butter of a better
quality being produced, while the labor
will be lessened. As soon as possible
after milking, the milk should be
strained into tin, or glazed earthen-
ware pans for the cream to rise. The
depth of milk In the pans should not ex-
ceed two or two and a half inches.
Spread out thin, the milk Is cooled
rapidly, and keeps sweet longer, and
tbe globules of fat, having but a short
distaooe to travel to reach the surface,
are leas liable to remain in the skim
milk.—Alabama Experiment Station.

A DISASTROUS EXPERIMENT.
Jamaica Fall* tn Bar Attempt to PUso*
Her Fruit* on I-onCon Market.
It is apparent from the ill-fortune
that has attended the shipment of fruife,
from Jamaica that American shippers
of fruit to England have little to fear
from competition In that direction.
When the merchants of Jamaica decided
to embark in the fruit trade in the hopo
of recouping themselves for the losses
sustained through the ruining of the
sugar industry they chartered a steam-
er and loaded her with oranges and
, bananas for England. The whole cargo
Spoiled before tbe vessel hod been many
diyyatsea. Later another attempt was
ntttde with similar results, the steamer
returning to Kingston after having
been compelled to throw .11 the fruit
overboard. The latest venture has
been equally os disastrous. The fruit
arrived at London in sunjh bad condition
that all of it was condemned. It is said
that the Jamaica growers are not ac-
quainted with the methods of picking
and preparing fruit for long sea voy-
ages and until they learn these It will
be jpipossible for them to gain a market
in London.

Remarkable Waterspout Witnessed b;
Heat's Crew In the Tropics-
The Brig Courtney Ford from
Tahiti brings an account of a remark-
able waterspout witnessed in the
tropics on the voyage to Port Townsend,
Wash. In longitude 148 and latitude
151.4 on November 28, at six p. m., a
tremendous waterspout was observed
pcarcely a mile from the vessel. During
tlie first five minutes it remained sta-
tionary and reached an altitude of over
1,000 feet, ending in a curious cumulous
cloud. Its boae was several hundred
feet in diameter, and around it the sea
was lashed into a cauldron of white
foam for a space of several hundred
yards in circumference.
Slowly the spout moved away, though
it remained in plain view for over on
hour.

a decisive defeat in the house, so the
senate found it useless to discuss that
proposition. One feature of the legis-
lative record worthy of note Is the great
number of private pension bills passed,
many of them placing the widows of
officers on the pension rolls at ratings
ranging from 930 to 975 per month.
Private claims and war claims, on the
other hand, have been few. Several
of the pension bills were vetoed by the
president, but congress enacted some
of these despite the veto by the neces-
sary two-thirds majority.
Several important bills are in the
president’s hands awaiting his action,
foremost among the immigration bill,
which establishes an educational teat
for immigrants and bars out laborers
who maintain their homes in other
countries. One set written upon the
statute books this session is important,
and that is the passage of the bill eras-
ing from the statute books all United
(States laws Imposing the death pen-
alty for other crimes than murder, rape,
treason or piracy, and endowed juries
