'Th is work is expressed in the watchword o f the, league—"save the boys," and it means to save them from the degrading influ enqes of the saloon.

Here are some (rue incidents of the drunkard’s degradation. Who can im­ agine anything more thoroughly heart­ less? A drunkard in a town not far from .Philadelphia had a child to die, and the ^mother -abd friends tenderly prepared the body for burial. In the- bestroom in the house, tidied as well as her extreme poverty permitted, the mother laid her little one. But the de­ praved father slyly entered the room When she was gone, and, untying the little .shoes on the dead feet, hid them under his coat and pawned them for drink. f Another man,! with credit’ at the store all gone, without a crumb of bi'ekd or anjP’ otfier food at home, and child down with diphtheria, pleads with the merchant for a small saek of flour on trust. "W e have nothing to eat, and my child is very sick with diphtheria," which was true. The kind-hearted merchant relented and gave him the flour. But, can you be­ lieve it? The drinking wretch, deliri­ ous with his appetito fiercely aroused by tbe possibility o f a few.glaaaes, took the flour to a tavern and exchanged it for ram!—Philadelphia Methodist —An Atchison county (Kan.) farmer assisted a woman financially in getting a divorce with the intention o f marry­ ing her himself.

Its Introduction and V s lw Dbeossad by a Fr*etlpal Apiarist. A t the Michigan state bee-keeper* convention M. IL Hunt said: The ins telligent use o f comb foundation haa added largely to $be pleasures and’ profit o f bee-keeping, and Its impor­ tance is second only to the movable frame. Tbe first practlcaTfoundation was .made in l874, andtbe demand bas increasedao raptdly that at times there has been scarcely enough beeswax to produce i t In 1878 it was said; "W e can hardly conceive what an immense business this is soon to become.1' Dur­ ing the first yeara o f its introduction a large proportion of poor CDtnb founda­ tion was sent ou t but this-did.not seem to affect the demand. 'Several attempts have been made to make comb with fnll depth o f cells, but so far they have all been- failure* Its great bulk, th e . extra expense aud the greater amount of wax required, all combine to make it undesirable. In my ubo of founda­ tion in tho brood frames I have been, most, pleased with the full Bheetsof light brood in wired frame* There iff only wax enough in this grade to draw* out the cells a trifle, giving the bees a chance to utilize the natural secretion of wax that is sometimes lost Nice, straight, all-worker combs are secured in this way at little expense. Full sheets give more bees a chance to operate; making them less liable to cluster and secrete wax which may bo wasted. By the use o f starters only, in brood frames, perhaps the bees w ill enter the sections -sooner, Btoring a greater proportion of their honey there; but that is not always an advan­ tage. The bee* must have o certain amount to winter on, and i f forced to put their stores above, and the flow' coose3 about the time the sections are completed, it necessitates feeding for their winter supply. SKIMMILK FOR COWS. Gratifying Desalts Obtained in Various Barts o f New York. In .parts o f (Jattaraugus and Dela­ ware counties; N. Y., It bus been the custom a long time to feed skimmilk hack to the cows, and with gratifying result. No accurate data are recorded to show its actual value, but enough benefit is known to continue the prac­ tice. An extensive' dairyman of the latter county, ever alert to investigate' and adopt hew and'promising methods, says that "skimmilk fed to cows w ill produce as much’ butter-fat as it w ill 'pork-fat if.fed to p ig * " Here is again o f.200 per cent’ In the feeding value o f skimmilk when fed to cows instead of pigs, for butter-fat is worth three times as .much per pound as pork-fab Moreover, this method obliterates that usual nuisance, the hog pen, where the swine are fed milk in warm weather; the care of thqse disagreeable, animals is eliminated from the dairyman's daily duty. When milk is fed to hogs grain must be added to make solid pork. The dairyman quoted above would say that both this grain and milk, if fed to, cows, even at pasture, would be mnch more profitable. Another result of feeding skimmilk to cows, if one ex-, perlment station professor bo correct, is that after long lactation it aids in retaining in the butter-fat tho volatile flavoring oils that are largely lost from the milk o f cows as they approach the time of parturition. A writer says ell critical bnttermakers know that the better from "strippers" lacks tho quick, rosy flavor that milk o f fresh cows Imparts to butter. Now if feed­ ing milk helps to retain this flavor in the product good dairymen w ill be glad to avail themselves of the prac­ tice.—-Galen Wilson, in N. Y. Tribune. TO PREVENT SUNBURN. Common Fluster Lath the Uest Froteo- I tlon for Tree Tranks. Several precautions should ho used to prevent sunburn or sun scald on the limbs and trunks o f trees! 1, The tree should be set to stand per­ p e n d icular, or leaning a f e w degrees toward the one o'clock sun, and should always be kept in that position. The s u r p l u s growth on t h e south- or south­ east side should be cut back to keep tho top well balanced. 2. Train the tree to a low head, so that the shade at the top shall protect the trunk from the direct ■raya o f the midday eun, 3. Mulch or cultivate the ground eboat the trees, sor that their vigor shall,not be checked during the growing season. Bark-burning Will seldom occur unless there is some check in the flow o f sap. 4. The cheapest and best artificial de­ vice to protect the trunk is common plaster lath, or thin strips o f board about one and one-half inches wide, o f suitable length to (rnyjj|^from tbe branches to the ground and Woven to­ gether with wires so arranged (sea ent) that when placed about the tree the ends may be used to fasten tbe edges together. These maybe removed at any time for examination. For branches exposed to the direct rays Of the sun, wrapping with cloth or straw paper bands is the best protection. Besides, such bands make excellent in­ sect traps.—J. S. Harris, in Farm and Home. ........... ■ A im - slaked lime is a good disinfect­ ant; scatter it liberally over tbe Boor every few days. *
