The palm for beauty is not usually given to a country scene in winter, the meadows snow-covered,’the streams ice- bound, the trees toSsing bare branches under lowering, leaden skies, yet in a recent trip out of town I was impressed by the beauty of such a landscape, as seen in glimpses from the car windows. In the stretches of snowy fields there was yet sometimes a gleam of summer where the yellow stubble glinted goldenly in the sunshine. Esthetlc cat-tails rose stiff and rigid from their icy beds, and clusters of autumnal asters and golden-rod were still decked in the semblance of bloom, like old folks in youthful trappings, the brown, strawy calyx of the flowers, rob— bed by the wind of every feathered seed. Trim brown snow-birds were searching empty seed capsules for possible food, and swinging on the bending stalks, cheerful and happy under the winter weather. Tangled thickets caught a tinge of color from the bright red of bitter- sweet and wild rose berries, or the deeper color of red osier; while every leafless tree stood clearly defined against the sky. Some one has said that the charm of a winter scene lies in the grace and delicacy of its outlines. And every tree has its own individuality, so that we readily recognize it by its branching. Who could mistake the elm, with its long, graceful, drooping branches, the sturdy. strong branching of the hickory, the widespreading wal- nut, with its suggestion of summer shade? The swamp oak, with its many gnarled, heavy, angular boughs, suggests that it has had ahard time growing, taking its nourishment in small doses and making small progress in any direction; while the poplar’s upright, regular divisions make it as well known by this as by its white, spongy bark on which rustic lovers cut their names. These barren branches which reveal so clearly every malformation of the tree, every dwarfed bough, every broken t , remind us of “poor humanity” when d- versity has stripped away adventitious aids and brought out the real character_ When summer verdure is gone, we see the real shape of the tree, so under trouble’s touch man shows his native disposition. It is easy to be generous when one’s hands are full; to be kind - and amiable and sweet-tempered, when hap- piness and plenty crown the life. Says Becky Sharp, “ I could be good if I had ten thousand pounds a year.” As we sometimes see a tree grown crooked and awry among its fellows and wonder why it is not straight and beautiful as they, only to find it grew among them as best it could, bending here and turning there. yet ever growing upward, so, when the veil of circumstances is torn from some lives, we see how surrounding influences controlled and directed, shaping the soul’s destiny. An oaken torso, beheaded and with limbs lopped off, stands a type of the barrenness of life when lived for self alone; while of the symmetrical, fully developed tree, which like a well ordered life, adds grace and charm to all surround- ings through its own beauty and utility, the poet says: “ Not a prince, In all that proud old world beyond the deep, E’er wore his crown as loftily as he Wears the green coronal of leaves with which Thy hand has graced him." BEATRIX. -————-o+.___.._ COOKING AS A FINE ART. A friend of the Household Editor’s, to whom a copy of the FARMER for January 29th was sent, containing the question propounded to the Household as to whether it is or is not necessary that a woman should spend her whole life in learning to keep house, sends in reply a letter which though not intended for pub— lication, she takes the liberty to publish, as showing the masculine valuation of cooks and cooking: “Beatrix” occasionally indulges in bright but queer fancies. The article in question might be regarded as a partial stroke of fancy. Don’t you know that cooking has now become the highest of all arts, the highest because the most useful? A cook, if a good one, is not only a commander, but the commander- in-chief of all the social forces. He is the most important personage in the realm, receives more blessing and damnation than any other human being, hence is the most consequential person in any State or nation. It is proverbial that the man who has a good cook in the person of his wife, has a good wife—one who is worth some- thing—no matter if she does use the shovel and tongs inappropriately. Em~ phatically does the judgment of man- decree that the lady who can relieve the “ aching void ” with “ the best the market affords,” “done up ” in the enlightened art of the French cuisine, deserves a place in the heavens of heavens, where final re- wards are only given to the best, the good and the true. The art of arts ought not to be slighted but rather commended to the attention of those who desire length of days with good cooking thrown in. There was a lady here lately from the East, a Miss Corson, who gave lessons in the culinary art to delighted audiences in the neighboring village of Berkely. It is the seat of the California University and also of a Young Ladies’ Seminary. She stopped there about ten days, and took away with her 480 California dollars, as profit clear after all bills were duly paid. Her lectures found daily report in the papers, and were admired for their practical character. Once she cooked a meal for half a dozen in a silk dress, and did not get a spot on it, either. cShe did that to show experimentally that neat- ness and cleanliness can be as well ob- served in the kitchen as in the parlor. Though I did not attend, saw not, and heard not, yet I acquired a great respect for that most useful of all domestic angels that come in the presence of men. She is a “capital gal.” let me tell you. one of some account in the world; unlike two female orators from abroad who were here lately and preached on the horrors of intemperance, how the poor wives were kicked, knocked around, and tumbled over by drunken brutes of husbands, and how the Wicked men deny to them the right to vote and hold “ ofl‘is ” A crusade of that kind is well enough in its proper place, but would any one pretend to say that Mrs. Williard and Mrs. Williams were as useful to society, in promoting the happiness, health, comfort, and good nature of mankind as the dear Miss Cor- son? Not a bit of it. Miss Corson pays her way and is rewarded by her exertions, while the other two are lugged around the country under the wing of some east- ern Total Abstinence Society at agreed salaries. Don’t condemn the dining hall; ’tis the haven of rest to many a weary soul. To cook well a person must have natural adaptation for it, and who can so worthily fill the post of honor except a lady? The Lord him- self so thought, for while he and Mary were in the parlor talking, Martha Was in the kitchen serving. Martha perceiving that Mary was having tow good a time of it, became jealous, and to break off the conversation, found an excuse that she needed Mary’s assistance; but her cunning plea was understood, and she was told to stick to what she was doing, that Mary was doing well, but she was doing better. This shows that Martha was a consequen- tial person, and filled a place in society just as necessary as that filled by her sis- ter. Encourage good cooking, that neces- sary factor to the well-being of society, that high gauge that marks the progress of civilization. Savages don’t care for good cooking, but the cultured man knows its inestimable value. H. G. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal. Feb. 17th. 2 THE HOUSEHOLD. THE HOUSEKEEPlNG QUESTION. E. S. B. asserts that she can make good bread, andI rise to confirm the as- sertion. With such bread as hers in the house, one may answer the door bell without the slightest trepidation, and her housekeeping is “ all 0. K." Still I affirm, and that confidently. that it is the duty of every mother to teach her daughter all that she herself knows of good house- keeping; and this for various reasons. It is asserted by our best medical authorities that a very large proportion of the physi- cal weaknesses and disease from which the mothers Of this generation suffer have their origin in the schoolroom, and that between the ages of thirteen and sixteen, the direct result of undue development of the mental forces at the expense of the physical. Fortunately this is the age at which a girl may get a good domestic education and still pursue special stud- ies, either at home or in the school—room, and so become a strong, self‘reliant wo~ man; intelligent and well balanced, both in body and mind. The value of a good education cannot be over estimated, and I will make any sacrifice to assist my children in obtaining one; but so far as” my experience goes I do not find the greatest practical results, the most varied intelligence, among those who have made school-going the regular business of their youth. To many it becomes a mere routine, and they are far from being well informed. Were I a teacher I would have a limited knowledge of Latin precede English grammer, and I will not allow my children to take up grammar at so early an age as is custom- ary in our country schools. And here I may be allowed to say to “ Slowmus ” that to my mind an intimate knowledge of Latin will neither sour the bread nor spoil the housekeeper. Where is A. L. L.? Surely a mother who has raised and so effectually disposed of nine fair daughters must have ideas on this subject. For myself, I am like the old Scotchman, “always open to convic- tion,” but I would like to see the person who could convince me that it is not best for children to begin early to share the labors of their parents, that they may bets ' ter appreciate what is done for them; and I believe their lives will in this way be- come of greater value to the great world arOund them. MRS. W. J. G. HOWELL, Feb. 25th, 1884. GIvE THE KIND worms NOW. Having been a subscriber to your most valuable paper for some time. I take great comfort in perusing its columns, especial- ly the Household. A few weeks ago I saw an item in the FARMER which puz- zled me somewhat, and therefore I wish to ask the lady friends of this department if in their opinion the item contains truth entirely: “Woman’s tears cost little and availeth much." To my mind it should read just the reverse. Why is it that many, many husbands throughout the land entertain this idea that tears cost nothing, looking on the Wife with con- tempt if by their own harsh, careless words her eyes are bedimmed with tears? Only a few years ago the girl-wife was so dear to them; nothing was too good for her; they were all attention to every want; if sickness overshadowed her how ready to sympathize and caress! I often think when I see men taking (or seeming to take) delight in saying ha’d, unfeeling words to their own wives, why is it? How can they like to see the quiv- ering lips and swimming eyes, and know they have set the heart to aching. Is it that cold, cross words are more easilyr spoken than kind, loving ones? Perhaps in after years when the heart has suffer- ed and borne all that is possible with longing for kind treatment which never comes, and at last the struggle is over, and the pale, care—worn face, and tear-- dimmed eyes are cold and still under the coffin lid, the husband will look thereon and think, “ Ah, how hard her lot has been, and how little have I ever done to lighten her load?” It is too late to recall the past; so look well to your ac- tions while your wife is yet living. I once heard a man say; “ Oh, Mary’s tears fall as easy as rain and amount to about as much!” What ahusband that must be! I thought. What do the other Household members think on this subject? MAYBELLE. CLINTON, Feb. 27th. TWO VALENTINES . As valentines have been all the talk for the past month, I have caught some of the sentiment and also caught one of the valentines of the period. As I looked at the gaudy sheet, my thoughts were about the same as those of a fine old gentleman I once heard of, who one morning met a group of children going to school, who Shouted boisterously at him. “Ah,” said he, “It is not as it used to be. Once, if you met a group of children, they would make a modest bow and say ‘good morn- ing,’ instead of shouting at the top Of their voices ‘hello, old boy!’ Give me back the dear, sweet children Of long ago !" There is as much difference in the val- entines of long ago, and most of those we see to day, as in the manners of the chil- dren then and now. And to show the contrast, I will try to describe two valeno tines received by myself, the first and the last. The first came when I was about nine years ‘old. At school one day I found in my spelling book a neatly folded note, addressed “Valentine.” I sat looking at the unfamiliar word, for I had not studied Webster much then, till a school- mate said “ Oh, Adda has a valentine!” Then she explained to me that if one per- son likes another ever so much, and dare not tell them so, on the 14th of February they send a written or printed letter, signed “Valentine,” telling them so. In one of the corners near the top of the page was what was intended to represent Cupid, with curved bow, and arrow aimed at a large heart, both drawn with a very unskillful pen. Underneath were the following rhymes: “ The r so is red, the violet blue, The pink ls sweet and so are you," l defied set phrases: “And you are the nicest, goodest girl in school!" I always supposed valentines were in- tended to convey some sentiment of re— spect and affection, until I came to see the hideous sheets put up for sale and called valentines. Last year one of our local papers truly said of the valentines Of tO-day that if a. person feels an enmity toward another, the comic valentine is resorted to to wound his sensibilities. for among the horrid creations can be found something to cast a slur on almost any one, of any calling and profession. My last valentine was of this class: a picture of an old lady, pen in hand, writing, and a long string of poetry, the subject, “A Poetess, (in a Horn).” I could not see the resemblance, for I neither wear spectacles nor write poetry, though I think I could write as good doggerel as this; and like the " old gentleman who sighed for the mannerly children of long ago, I re- gretted the kindly, affectionate evidence of love and esteem conveyed by the old- fashioned valentine. MRS. JOSHUA BROWN. ST. JOHNS, Feb. 26th. MEMORIAL DAYS. The custom of observing in some man- ner the birthdays of great and distin- guished men, by countries and nations, has been of long continuance. But the Observance of memorial days 1n com-- memoration of authors and literary men, by schools, societies and individuals, is of more recent date. Our Circle has recently held a com- memorative meeting at the home of one of its members, of Longfellow’s birthday, which was so pleasant and profitable to us that I give the programme as a sug- gestion to others: Written biography Of his life. Questions and answers on his life and writings. Ver- bal synopsis of the poem “Evangeline.” The same of two of his prose works, “Kavanagh” and “Outre-Mer.” Select reading. Recitation of “Walter Von Der Vogelwield.” At the tea table, ,each guest found at her plate a card with Longfellow’s name and date of birth on one side, and on the other a quotation from one of his poems. These were read aloud, thus happily bridging over a frequently awkward pause in the conversation, at the same time turning it into a channel befitting the occasion. Aside from the social features (which are very pleasant) of such meetings, we feel that by such means we are brought more closely in contact and sympathy w@ the thoughts and feelings of such great minds than in any other way. We study their works, their lives, the sur- rounding influences of the times in which they lived, and their cotemporaneous writers. It gives us an opportunity to criticize each other’s opinions, talk of our likes and dislikes of any particular pas— sage, and analyze and define an obscure thought. Where convenient for only two or three to meet together, or only for the members of one family, to make it the and then the spontaneous outburst which 1 occasion for some special readings, study, he .es Ild kc he re- tee ld- an - ,in - ns , the en, 5 of am- one lay, mg- .0115 Ver- ne. rks, alect Von i at ame L the ems. )pily yard same g the 'hich , we ught tathy such We sur- rhich Ieous :y to if our pas— scure y two )r the ,t the tudy, :2 ~ swam/u wags" . or recitations, in which all can partici- pate and become interested, will be found to also make it a time of mutual profit. The “Memorial Days” for the re- mainder of this year in our Circle, will be Shakespeare’s and Addison’s. Milton’s and Bryant’s come in the fall, and we may add Emerson’s, that being coincident with that of one of our members. They are real “red-letter-days” to us, and not- withstanding some of us have kept them for five years, in some way, we still find something new, beautiful and interesting to us in thus making a special study of the writings of these great and good men. I would certainly recommend the obser- vance of these, or of some others, to every literary society, or to add tone and direc- tion to little social gatherings. c. LITTLE l‘ImmIE Roqu, Feb. 29th. —-o—o—o—-—-——— A HOUSEKEEPER’S DUES. “She is a firstclass housekeeper, but doesn’t know anything else,” is the ver- dict often passed on some woman under discussion; and 1 would like to ask in the name of justice, how any one obliged to take care of a house, prepare meals, look after a family and that family’s ward~ robe, fight dirt to the last speck from gar- ret to cellar, and understand all the pro. portions of lard, flour, sugar, and numer— ous spices, can be expected to know very much besides? If she does this sufficiently well to earn praise, let us bow our heads in reverence and forbear to criticise. Few of us can measure the cost of a housekeeper’s laurels, the watch- ful eye, the tireless hand which keeps dust from settling, glassware and iron shining, meals and linen perfect. We may often guess at it when, tired and discouraged, we drop limp into a chair and see dirt and disorder leering at us like a pair of fiends from every corner; or try to talk with some unexpected guest on poetry, science or art, while we know there is not a bit of pie or cake in the house. Oh, yes, says somebody, but housework only occupies a woman’s hands, her mind is free. Let this mocker just try to get through a big day of general work with his thoughts among the stars, and see if the sponge doesn’t receive a fatal chill, the cake a burn, or the lard a fragrant boil over, while the planets roll on un- disturbed in their grandeur. That oft quoted verse of George Herbert’s: “Who sweeps a room as to God's laws, Makes that and the action fine,” is very nice; but, in nine cases out of ten, a. woman sweeps a room in such a state of hurry, with so many other thin to attend to, that she doesn’t indulge i 'any aesthetic thoughts about “ laws,” but only repeats the daily wonder about where “ all the dirt comes from." We ought to remember that we are all beings of limited power, and cease to ex- pect everything from any one person. 81% who keeps the dust and cobwebs out of her rooms is apt to let them settle in her brain, and mice versa; and who of us dares to say which is the greater task? I, for one, think it much easier to lounge in an easy chair and read the truths solved by other minds, than to bat- tle with culinary elements, the riots of animate and inanimate foes, only to fall and fail at last under the merciless stare of some unpatched rent, an unpolished stove, dirty floor, or heavy loaf. A. H. J. THOMAS, Feb. 20th. ————.._._._—— A NE‘V MEMBER SPEAKS. May I become a member of the House hold? When the FARMER arrives, I al— ways turn to the Household first to see what good things are in store. I read it through, then I take my leisure for the rest, and “by the way,” there is but little that does not interest me, for I am a farmer’s wife through and through. Beatrix asks, “ How do you like our new Household ?” I like it very much, but I hope that the new Household will com- prise the old members and so many new ones that we will see it enlarged again before the end of the year. I am much interested in the housekeep- ing question, and am of the opinion that, generally speaking, a girl who has had no experience, cannot keep house as well as one who has. I find that girls when they become wives. and are thrown entirely upon their resources, find many things to learn even though they have been accustomed to housework, and intelligent girls find they cannot learn all there is to be learned in six months, and women who have kept house as many years find there is some- thing yet to learn. I would not say that a girl who has attended s;hool, or been teaching, or employed at something that gave her no opportunity to learn house- keeping, was unfit to Become a wife, or preside over a farm home, for if they have energy and good sense they will try to succeed wherever their lot may be cast; yet I would advise all girls to learn about housekeeping if they have an opportun- ity, as they will escape many difficulties and little vexations which they otherwise would not. Do not think I would advise learning housework at the expense of education. Get as good an education as possible, for we need educated and refined farmers’ wives and daughters; but I think the girl who has a practical knowl— edge of work combined with other accom- plishments will make a successful matron. Ladies, in conclusion let me whisper, don’t ever ask a favor of your husband before a meal or after a poorly cooked one, but if you want a lovely spring bon- net, prepare the “good man’s ” favorite dishes in your best style for his dinner, and my word for it, the nurse will be handed you with full permission to pur- chase the prettiest one you can find. OLD SCHOOL TEACHER. TECI'MSEH, Feb. 27, 1884. INFORMATION \VANTED. I think the MICHIGAN FARMER just a complete paper now, since we can have such a nice Household, where we farm- ers’ wives and daughters can havea place to express our opinions. I hope we may all profit by its reading; let each of us remember that it will be what we make THE HOUSEHOLD. 3 it. Let us talk of flowers and fancy work, and any thing that will be useful and beneficial. I wish some one would tell me through the Household, what makes little white worms get into plant dishes; it is a little fly that lays the egg, but what: is it that calls them? I have had to repot most all of my plants this winter, and in cold weather, repotting puts them back very much, but I have found out lately that I can kill the worms with hot water, nearly boiling heat. Be careful not to get it on the follagc or stems of the plant; but the flies I can not get rid of. If some one will tell me the reason lwill be greatly obliged. ~ I will tell the lovers of fancy work how to make pretty and not expensive tidy. Take apiece of net lace, you can get it for forty cents a yard, and it is oVer two yards wide. Cut a piece the size you want your tidy, and then work it with any color of Saxony yarn you prefer, bright scarlet is lovely. \Vhen you have this done, work a strip “say two inches wide, finish the edge with a buttonhole stitch and sew on your tidy: then line the tidy with white paper eamhric. I guess I won't stay too long or you won’t want me to come again. ‘ MICLLESENIJA. CLAYToN. Feb. 28th. -w—s...____ A NINE year old lassie who calls one of our most valued contributors “mother," evinces a practical knowledge of geog- raphy which would do no discredit to an older student. She was told that there was talk of making a railroad to carry people to Europe Without crossing the Atlantic. After just a moment’s hesita- tion, she replied: "Why, yes; they can do that if they have money enough; just down through Alaska, across Behring’s Straits and across Asia." The readiness and correctness of the. reply show that to this little learner at least, countries in other continents are not mere outlines on maps, whose names and dimensions are to be memorized, but aetualities, where she knows people live and work, and go to schOOl, just as she does. WILL E. S. 13., of the Household, please tell how long she molds the bread each time; and will home made yeast do to start with, instead of yeast cakes? So many of the cakes we get are sour. M. B.

Fanny Field says, in the Ohio Farmer that the Aylesbury ducks rank among the leading varieties—good for feathers, good layers, and excellent for market; but it will hardly pay to keep any breed of ducks for eggs and feathers alone, unless one has a pond or swampy place where they can pick up the greater part of their living, or can sell the eggs for fancy prices. In order to make duck—raising profitable they must be kept for all they are worth—eggs, feathers, and for market. Ducks do not usually lay so many eggs in a year as hens, but the eggs of the improved varieties of ducks make up in size what they lack in number. In large cities ducks’ eggs will often bring extra prices just before Easter, but at other times and in most markets “an egg is an egg,” and ducks’ eggs that weigh three to three and a half ounces each are sold at the same price per dozen as hens’ eggs that weigh two ounces each. When eggs are bought and sold as they should be, by weight, it will pay to keep the best laying breeds of ducks for eggs and feathers alone. Prime live duck feathers bring from 25 to 35 cents per pound, which is about half the prices paid for prime live geese feathers. Prime, all white, duck feathers sometimes sell as high as 40 cents per pound, but it is not often that so good a price can be obtained, even for the best. —----—0-.—o——— s THE Rural New Yorker says: “As our fowls are necessarily confined in small yards, we are obliged to supply them with all the essential kinds of food that they would eat if running at large. But previous to the last six months a full sup- ply of shell-forming food has always been at times neglected and ‘ soft-shelled’ eggs or eggs without any shells, have fol- lowed‘from the neglect. About six months ago we began to feed our fowls bones broken up to the average size of wheat kernels, and we have never seen a soft- shelled egg since. The fowls are exces- sively fond of this food in small quanti- ties, and a very small quantity suffices to satisfy them and to insure sufficient egg-. shell material. This quantity we have found to be a full handful given three times a week for every six hens.” WHEAT fed whole to laying fowls, and wheat screenings or cracked wheat f young chicks, have always produc most desirable results, though it m remembered that they must not be fed in the same quantities as corn, or prepar- ations of corn. The tendency of wheat is to produce a healthy growth, feed the muscular tissues and aid materially in causing the hens to lay often, and rich eggs. ——H_ FANNY Finn) says there is no more “luck ” in poultry management than there is about boiling water in a teakettle after you have kept fire under it long enough. CHARRED corn is an excellent food for laying hens and serves to keep them healthy and vigorous. Do not feed en- tirely but give once a day, and be careful in preparing it or it will burn to ashes. WHILE it is true that young hens lay more eggs per year than old ones, they do not make so good setters nor so care- ful mothers. in the character of fowls in this respect, and a little watchfulness will soon teach the careful attendant which ones will be best to set. —-———.—.—.——_ WHILE fine hay, or fine well-broken straw makes good nests, a very good nest can be made with shavings from wood; select only the thinnest and softest, and make the nest well with them. They can be lightly sprinkled with diluted carbolic acid to keep away lice, and, being very porous, will retain the smell and effect of the acid much longer than any other ma- terial. A CORRESPONDENT of the Rural New Yorker tells how she manages to secure plenty of eggs in winter: “We have a warm hen-house, with plenty of glass on the south side to admit the heat of the sun; a dust bath is in a sunny corner. There is plenty of gravel and burned bones pounded up to make the shells. A cabbage head is given once or twice a week, while the regular feed consists of wheat screenings, corn, oats, potatoes and bran. For a change we alternate their feed thus: Morning feed, either boiled potatoes and bran mashed, or boiled oats and screenings; night feed, raw screenings or corn. We put alittle salt, pepper, and sometimes sulphur in the mashed pota- toes. For drink, sweet skim-milk, warm. This is an excellent substitute for meat.” I caught a severe cold, and remembering you told me to use “Downs’ Elixir,” I bought a bottle, and in less than three days my cough and sore throat had vanished!

Haigh, Attorney, Seitz Block, Detroit Sale of Land by an Executor. LA Pours, 1nd,, Feb. 8th, 1884. Law Editor of the Michigan Farmer. Please answer the following query: Does an executor (in Michigan) in selling lands on an order from court, the same having been appraised, have to conform, in any way, to the appraisement? In other words, does the appraisement gov- ern the price at which such land may be sold, either at private or public sale? An early answer will oblige. Yours truly, A. J. STAIIL.‘ Answer—N0, the appraisement in itself does not govern the price at which a piece of land may be sold by an executor. Before an executor can sell lands he must obtaina decree from the Probate Court ordering the sale of such land, and this sale must be made at public auction, no- tice of which must be given. If it shall appear to the Judge of Probate that the sale was legally made and fairly con- ducted, and that the sum bid was not dis~ proportionate to the value of the property sold, or, if disproportionate, that not more than ten per cent, exclusive of the expenses of a new sale, could be obtained, he shall make an order confirming the sale and directing conveyances to be exe- cuted. Should the appraisement govern absolutely the price for which the property could be sold it would frequently happen , that it never could be sold. The appraisement would simply aid the Judge of Probate in determining how much the property ought to bring. H. M. Snow. How May Drain Taxes be Collected. PLYMOUTH, March 5, 1884. Law Editor of the Michigan Farmer. Being a subscriber of the MICHIGAN FABMEB, I would like to ask a question. The town treasurer has levied on personal property to pay a drain tax, and. the prop- erty did not belong to the person that the tax was assessed to, and the property has ”been replevined. Now can the town treaseurer collect the costs and dam- ages of said suit from the town? SUBSCRIBER. Answer—From the above letter I should judge that the replevin suit had been brought against the town treasurer per- sonally, and that he paid the costs of the suit and now asks to recover what he has paid. The only way in which delinquent drain taxes may be collected, is by re- turning the lands on which the taxes are not paid to the county treasurer, by whom they are sold for taxes, and the town treas- urer had no right to make a levy on per- sonal property for the purpose of collect- ing a drain tax. Personal property may be seized and sold for general taxes but not for drain taxes, and must be collected in the way marked out by the drain law. I do not think that the town would have to pay for the expense incurred by the treasurer in a case where he did not follow the law which is his guide, and the suit was a result of his own negligence. H. M. SNOW. Pay for What You Get. NORTH BRANCH, March 1, 1884. To the Law Editor 01' the Michigan Farmer. Having been a subscriber to your valu- able paper for some time, and seeing many getting valuable advice therefrom, I take the liberty of asking information in your department. A publisher sends a paper to my address for one year and then writes for a year’s subscription, which is sent him, and a note stating that the paper is not wanted any more, and he stops it for a few months. He again sends paper as before without any order from me, and in a year he sends for subscrip- tion price again. Now, Mr. Editor, does it not require two to make a bargain? Please tell us through your paper the law governing a case of this kind. INCOGNITO. Answer.——The law on this point is well settled that if a paper is sent to a person and he takes it from the postoflice, that this amounts to an acceptance of the paper and he must pay for it. Even if you wrote to the publisher to discontinue sending the paper, but took the paper from the office when it was sent, you would hate to pay for it. If you don’t want the paper. refuse to take it from the office. Deal Justly with the Boys. In looking over the past, one little cir- cumstance comes to mind which led me to think as the heading of this article reads, “Deal Justly with the Boys.” When I was a hey my father pointed to a poor motherless calf and says “Harve, if you will take that calf and take care of it, it shall be yours.” Well, I took the respon sibility. I fed and took care of that calf and called it my property and father al- ways spoke of it as the “ Boy’s Calf ” and every one pronounced it Harve’s calf that knew anything abort it. In.proee‘ss of time that calf rose to the dignity of a fine, sleek, three year old steer. One fine day in the fall of the year some evil spirit sent a butcher that way and in answer to the inquiry for fat cattle my father replied that he believed “The Boy has a steer that might do for beef.” The result was that the butcher drove the steer away and father’s pocket-book was increased in the value of its lining by some $40. But I was left to ponder on a question I have never been able to solve. The calf was mine but the steer was father’s. Now at what time, at what age and in what manner the animal changed ownership has always been a matter of anxious inquiry; but I shall never find out unless there are keener revealings in the next world than in this. “Deal J ustly with the Boys.”—Fltnt Globe. ~ V Eight Years Scrofula Cured.

P131 11-11‘1‘11. March 3.15M. Law Editor of the Michigan l-‘armcr Beinf: :‘. subscriber of the Micinoxx FARMI-JK. I would like to ask :1 1111081101]. The town treasurer has 1611011 on personal property to pav a drain tax, and the prop— erty did not belongr to the person that the tax was assessed to and the property has been repl1vincd. Now ‘an the town trcaseurer collect the 1: osts and dam- ages of said suit from the town? 51' ist‘ltllil‘lh‘. 11]Lw[‘07‘.-—-Fl'()lll the above letter 1 should judge that the rcplcvin suit had been brought. against the town treasurer per- sonally, and that he paid the costs of the suit and now asks to recover what he has paid. The only way in which delinquent drain taxes may be collected, is by re- turning:r the lands on which the taxes are not paid to the county treasurer, by whom they are sold for taxes, and the town treas— urer had no right to make a levy on per- sonal property for the purpose of collect— ing a drain tax. Personal property may be seized and sold for general taxes but not for drain taxes,and must be collected in the way marked out by the drain law. I do not think that the town would have to pay for the expense incurred by the treasurer in a. case where he did not follow the law which is his guide, and the suit was a result of his own negligence. 11.31.

THE ' HOUSEHOLD. piarian. What to Do with Weak. Colonies in the Spring. J. E. Pond, of Massachusetts, says in the American Bee Journal: “ We have been advised in days past to unite all weak colonies; this advice,which is good for fall management, is of no value in the spring, unless it should happen that queenless colonies are found. when, of course, union is strength. My experience teaches me that weak colonies united will live no longer than the same colonies would have done if they had been kept separate; the reason being that the blees are all old and can live but a short time after having borne the hardships of win- ter confinement. It is hardly possible to imagine that all colonies will be alike weak, if such should be the case, I should hardly know what to advise, for the bee- keeper who finds his apiary in such a state would hardly be able to strengthen up colonies successfully. “The object of an apiarist should be, net to obtain the greatest possible yield from a single colony, but to equalize the whole apiary so that he may obtain a large and an average gain from each colony. To this end he should in early spring equalize his colonies in strength as nearly as possible, and this can best be done by taking frames of brood from those that are strong enough to bear the loss, and giving them to the weaker colonies. If he has, as he should have, average queens in all his hives, he will be able by careful management and judicious feeding to stimulate, to bring all his colonies up to prime condition, and to have a large force of foragers ready to take advantage of the first flow of honey that is secreted by the early flowers. Many, however, are not careful enough in this matter of stimu- lative feeding. We begin without refer- ence to the strength of the colony to feed diluted syrups, and also spread the brood, the consequence being that a cold frosty night drives the bees into a cluster, the brood is exposed, chilled and dies, and the colony is either ruined completely or so injured that it becomes valueless for the whole season. “ In this whole matter of strengthening and equalizing colonies, there is an op- portunity for exercise of the greatest care and judgment, and to know how to do it just right every time, can only be learned by experience. Many are apt to make the mistake of strengthening colonies too early. By so doing they lose a large amount of stores in feeding useless con- > sumers. We want a large force of forag- ers when there is honey to be gathered, and at no other time. “If any queenless colonies are found, when it is too early to raise queens with any prosprct of their mating in time to be of any use, they must be united with some colony that has a good queen; this, I have found, can best be done by moving the hives close together, giving both col— onies a little smoke, and when the bees are filled with honey removing the frames, bees and all, from the queenless hive, and alternating them with the frames in the otherhive. This united colony should be closely watched, and if any fighting takes place, another blast of smoke should be given them. If the union is made in this manner on a chilly day, no trouble need be anticipated, and no pains need be taken in regard to the queen. I have united many colonies in this manner with- out caging the queen, and find she is not troubled at all, and that the bees unite peaceably, and are friendly at once.” .._.....———— Extracted Honey. A very large part of the honey crop is now taken in the form of extracted honey.. Comb-honey is good and beautiful, but it has the disadvantage of the wax, which is indigestible, and which nobody cares to eat. In the extracted honey we have no wax, it is honey in its purest form. Many people associate extracted honey with strained honey; they suppose that all honey out of the comb is strained honey, but this is great injustice to ex- tracted honey. In getting strained honey all the combs from a hive, combs contain- ing capped-brood, and growing larvae and pollen and honey, are mixed up together and then the liquid squeezed out. In this way there is obtained some honey, but there is also obtained the juice of the growing larvae of the young bees and of pollen, so that the honey has a rank flavor, a dark color, and associations by no means appetizing. But extracted honey is as different from this strained honey as it is possible to be. In getting extracted honey we get no pollen, no juices of bees or‘larvse. We get simply the pure honey, without any admixture whatever. He, who on a cold winter morning has never had pure, candied, white clover honey to spread on his hot cakes, has lived in vain! Life has lacked for him one of its chiefest charms! ' The Best Bee Veil. James IIeddon says: “I consider a black bobbinet veil the best face protector we have. The meshes are round, and the shape and color is best fitted to clear vision. To make one requires a yard of goods, twenty inches wide. When sewed up the veil will be twenty inches long, three feet in circumference, and one foot in diameter. The usual way of attaching this veil to the hat has been to have a cord “ run ” into the edge of one end and drawn up to the size of the crown of the hat. When drawn over, the veil comes out over rim and down over‘the face and inside the coat, vest or shirt collar. I have found that a much better way is to procure a new white chip hat (about fif- teen to twenty cents is the price), and sew one end of the veil'to the rim. This can be done whether the rim is just one foot in diameter or larger; for, if larger, it can be sewed to the rim ashort distance back from its edge. The wide rim hat gives better shade. When so used, your hat and veil are always to be found at once, and the veil is practically about six inches longer than when used in the first way mentioned. NEWEST & BEST! TIIE MAGK noun HANGER!
