culture had made lately i was work ing there raid so was my brother gale one afternoon a man comes along that was selling these patent bee gums with sashes to them thai gits shet of a good deal of the trouble it is to hive i passle of bees nd he wanted right smart to sell one to troofie but troo fie felt too pore to buy patent bee gums as times was for money matters was powerful scarce then but the ma he hung on and al lowed that it would suit him to stop for dinner and feed the hor>e and then if troofie would furnish the lum ber he would build the gum for a dol lar and give troofie tiie directions o that he could operate it and not get stung aficr dinner the man took and turned in and made the bee gum with what we could hope him understand and troofie give him his dollar and | the man iit his pipe and got i i.i wagon then troofie says regard i ._' j them directions mister you mustn't ;' r_ir that fore yon go fer nuthiu'l 1 enters me like a bee stiug a::d i re gard em the

ant bores into the ground and constructs a residence of halls and galleries which if filled with hot water may be robbed of its home like air poisoned molasses are also used near the ant hole with good ef fect so that i have seen as high as 1,000 ants and a sluggard or two killed in one night in a small garden where muskmelous were growing in profusion the aphis or plant louse is another ei-emy of the farmer and may be said to rank next to the tariff and the man wiio wishes to explain the same to bacco is death on the plant i the louse is bitterly opposed to the use of tobacco in any form
