v V ."'I-' .' % , , MAKING OF ORIENTAL RUGS. AwtUu TmU Now Dominate* ths Otfl of Artistic Product That la OtaturlM Old. ? ' "From mi artistic point of view it flaay Mem absurd, but it Is nevertheless truo that American taste dominates the output of Turkish rugs," said a man who h&l tnmla a alttHw #UIxAAuMfi.l products of the orient, to a Philadelphia Record reporter. "Any importer will bear me out in this. Of course, inasmuch as the Armenians and Turks who make these rugs hare no power looms on which to reproduce exact copies, 11 would Ma?i ridiculous to suppose that more than one rug of the same pattern and design could be turned out. But the American dealer haa learned to know pretty much what aovt of rug appeal* to the American buyer, and he says to hie a#ent on the other side: 'Make me a lot of rugs that look as much like thi? as poMlble.' 80 the native weavers, on their hand looms, do their best to copy the colors of a special design that is put before them. This handicaps thorn, for theee untutored artisans have their own Ideal*, Just as a painter of pictures has. and It is galling to be thus restricted. It la also not very gratifying to realize that iso rica American, who Is often the par- I T?nu, with no idea of art, should dictate the output of an artistic product that is centuriM old. But the rich American is the greatest buyer of oriental rugs, and must b? considered." WCD ON WHOLESALE PLAN. 11 HkntagM In Brittany Towns Are (MtbrtM on a CHtwx Dajr in tk? Yeas.

BLOOD IN THE BEARING6. Hindoo Thieve* Would Hot Steal the "Doctored" Oil Uaad !n AmtrUnn Machinery. The prejudice against blood that in ' a part of the religion of the Hindoo* j has been made to s?rve a useful purpose. Whan the American engineers were building an electric power station in the Myeore territory In southern India they found that something was wrong with the lubrication of the machinery. The oil disappeared. They discovered that a Hindoo must, by his religion, take a periodical bath in oil. Tie workmen had drained the bearings for bathing purpoeee. How to atop the thieving was a pussling problem until some one solved It. The Hindoo does not eat meat and lie will aot touch anytning that has blood in it Two or three animals were killed, therefore, and blood was dripped luto the bearings. There wa? > no uoore stealing of oil, howover many 1 other things were stolen. The H*r?roi. | The Hereroe, now In rebellion against !

Km*!r Advlee for H?ek?e?cn Who Am Deiironi of Obtalaiag m tioud Crop of Hoa?r< We want to build all bur coloniea of bewa up strong, for those that are strong in numbers arc the only ones we can count on to store a good crop of surplus. One of ti?e greatest drawback to successful bee keeping is that there are so many weak colonies on hand at the beginning of the honey flow that it takes them through the short honey harvest to become strong enough to store hbney. . Each and every hive should be overflowing with bees at the beginning of the principal honey harvest, for when they are thus very populous they can be depended upon to do good work, if the season ia good. Too maiiT colonies run short of oro vision (hiring spring when they ar? building up, and the result Ik that they are crippled in force, for they canuot ronr a brood without plenty of food in the hive or have daily access to a flow of honey. Feeding is the only method that will bring them up to standard requirements, hence they should bt liberally fed. Weak colonies may be brought up strong very rapidly by giving thum some brood from the stronger ones, but we must exercise care in this or | we will cripple the strongest ones and be 110 better off than before. Draw only on extremely strong colonies tc strengthen weak ones. If we have col onies that lire in danger of swumiing before the honey season is properly on we can draw from them and thus cheek them from swarming. It i? always in order to save frame* of honey over from one season to another for the purpose of supplying the bees with honey in spring. Thi? la the most simple and easiest way of doing it, beside* the most sure.

Bran In excellent for poultry, anil one i>oint in favor of bran is that it contain* a much larger proportion of lime than any other cheap food derived from grain, and as the ahull* of eggs are composed of lime it is essential that food rich in lime be provided. 11 may he urged that the use of oyster sheila will provide lime, hut it will be found that it is the lime in the food that is most Hcrviceahle, because it is in a form that can be better digested and assimilated than carbonate of lime, says the American Fancier. I Clover is also rich in lime; and when u metis of cut clover and bran is given the fowls they will need no oyster shells or other mineral matter as a source from which to draw the nupply of lime for the egga. I)<? not forget that in summer, however, the line of all kinds of foods should be lined with judgment. If the hens have a free range give no food at all as long as they are laying, but if they begin to fall olf, let bran be the lending ingredient of the food allowed. In winter the lirmi nrnl i>liivur are even more essential, as the fowl# cannot then secure green food on the range. U?v* l,??rn?d ? l.eaaun. Those who stick to the old method of netting hens, and there are many thousands who do, have learned valuable lessons from the incubator, suyu an exchange. First: They have learnud to ehooKe eggs of uniform size and of perfect shape, with Hound shells. Aw incubator chickens do not have lice, they have learned, secondly, to dust thoroughly their hens before setting, and two or three times during the period of incubation. Thirdly: They have learned to use clean nest boxes and clean bedding. They confine the liens to coops and take great pains to place proper food and water before them. Fourthly: Many test the eggs under hens, fidlowing the example of the machine men, and after testing three sittings, for example, and throwing out the infertile eggs, place the live eggs under the two hens and re-get the third, thus gaining time and compelling "Ridfiy" to do her full ?biu*e of the work, w Have Received Window Shades Iron Beds, Woven Springs, Stoves, Tim ?
