HAY WE JINE YOU?
De»r Editor:
As soon as your mind's at leisure and
you've a little time to chat,
I'd like to ax yon a few questions 'bout
railroads and sieli a* that.
] know taint much our business to be
complaining 'bout de lau’.
Hut why do ttie railroad Othorities
want to deal us a foul hand?
Dvshearnit rumored many a time,
by some very shy field larks,
Dat they are swine to take up the
railroad twixt here and Newark.
Now I say ’tis mighty wrong to alius
be complainin
Hut I'd jist like to ktow what about
them isailin.
Now they sholy don't know bout our
resources;
Our tine springs and other courses.
Dat tends to build a small town to a
city,
< )h, 'tis sich a pity.
I’ve hearn they are going to cut us
out
And leave us in the country near
about,
To rastle with the red necks and tall
persimmon sprouts.
Sho as these rumors keep a lloatin. and
they will 1 don't doubt it
I’m a notion to go before a J. 1*. and
ax him what about it,;
Ax him if he can keep our city from
going to sartin ruin,
Jist to please a few railroad "ticials
who ate never nothin’ doin’
And what about our street-ear line
which jines ns to the main,
J fear it will go to destruction, inver
to revive again;
And there's our clever conductor, who
is always ready to oblige,
And lie's sure to lose his job and lots
of money besides.
Next there is our kind, good marshal,
always giving the proper advice,
] fear he will find his financial stand
ing not near, or hardly so nice
For we all know the dirty tutTs, who
with us have taken their aboda
Are sure to go from onr town and fol
low the new railroad
Say where will we get our goods from
and who’ll come here to buy em;
There’s no way to go to our kinfolks if
they were near bout dyin'.
For my part and on the part of oui
dear little town.
I’d like to see the railroad cut through
rather than go around,
Last but not least, are our dear old
city dads
Wonder what will be their occupation,
! They took such a pride to prize up
j sand
It surprised all creation.
I
Now jist what I was going to ax you
dear editor
Is simply this in part.
Provided they do move the railroad,!
May we jine
Ity street car line) to Newark?

BEES USEFUL TO FARMERS
Their Distribution of Pollen Makes
of Them Important Aids
in Agriculture.
In proportion to the population,
the number of persons who keep
bees is very small, yet there is no
branch of farming (for it should
be connected with farming) more
profitable at certain seasons than
the keeping of bees. A good,
strong colony in the midst of the
busy season, says the Rochester
Herald, will colleet and store four
or five pounds or more of honey
daily, the amount of work done by
the bees depending upon the for
uge and 1 he st rengt It of t he colony.
As soon as a colony becomes weak
and incapable of defense i t will he
attacked by l lie st conger ones and
robbed. Hence, in order to keep
each hive np to its fullest capacity
the beekeeper must provide plenty
of comb foundation, in ord-T 10
lesseu tin* work to he fierfoi tiled,
and sow such crops as will afford
honey later in the season, when
the flowers have finished blossom
ing.
1 In* swarming process is noth
ing more than t he depart ure of the
old queen and her working bees
in order to abandon the hive to
the younger queen and bees. By
being on t he alert, and hiving the
swarms as they alight, the num
ber of colonies may be largely in
creased, but the weak colonies sel
dom swarm. Moths usually at
tack the weak colonies, and only
the stronger colonies are able to
pass safely through the winter.
The common bees may be gradual
ly replaced with the Italian or
Cyprian varieties bv removing the
old queen and substituting a new
fertilized queen of either kind pre
ferred. If she is carefully guarded
in a small cage for a few days the
bees soon recognize her, and in the
course of a few months the old
bees will all be dead, and the new
ones will be of the desired kind.
The queen is compelled to lay
numbers of eggs daily in order to
supply tlir* great loss constantly
occurring by the destruction from
birds, storms and other difficul
ties. They should be left plenty of
honey for a winter supply, and the
hives should be well protected
from storms. What the beekeeper
should aim to do is to sow such
crops as will enable the bees to lay
in a large supply of honey, and he
can well afford to do so if he has
a number of hives. At this season
the bees find plenty to do in work
ing on the flowers, but later the
i crop of buckwheat affords ample
forage while it is in blossom. En
terprising beekeepers combine
beekeeping and poultry raising,
finding that a small piece of ground
may in that manner return large
profits. How to manage bees well
cannot be explained in a single
article. All who are interested
should first make themselves fa
miliar with the details before be
ginning by consulting authorities
on the subject. That beekeeping
is a profitable occupation, how
ever. has been demons! r ated satis
factorily to all engaged.
Dyeing by Atomizer.
The atomizing process, which
has found so many applications in
recent years, has now been em
ployed by a German inventor for
the dyeing of cloth and other fab
rics. The new machinery, exhibit
ed at Zittau, differs from appara
tus hitherto used in disguising
with the upper reservoirs, from
which the dye was distributed, and
