The Ktonea of Baalbek.
On Iho onlsklrU of the modern

There it Ins remained in stlont
grandeur for upward probably of
3?00 years, enggesling to Iho thought-
ful obsciver many interesting and
curious reflections. How long was
that stone in process of excavation
and fashioning? How many human
hands were employed upon the work?
What implements were used for Ihe
gigantic toll? llow was it <o have
been removed from tho quarry to its
appointed placo? How rotted (o its
position when once carried there?
Why, after all iho labor which had
been bestowed upon it, wag it left at

cover the answer to this last question,
we should probably learn of some
great crl.is lu Iho world's history,
some mighty incursion, somo decisive

tie y cut fine before feeding or jjre- "symptoms and treatment as brought
served in silos.—[Now York World, out hr the experiments of tho British
Hoard of Agriculture as follows:
“Sheep affected by foot-rot may im-
prove, or from time to time become
worse, and Anally may recover aud
present a perfectly haaltby condition
of foot, notwithstanding that they
have bcon kept tlie whole poriod ru-
der the conditions which induced the
disease. The contagion of foot-rot
remains for some lu the system (from
ten to twenty days) without any in-
dication of (ho disease appearing in
tho skin between the daws. An af-
feted sheep may, therefore, escape
detection even by an expert, end may
introduce foot-rot into a sound
flock.” * • •
“When foot-rot appears in a flock
every slieep should be examined at
least thrice a week, and a dressing
applied the moment any moisture is
seen between^iho claws. A mixture
of ono palTpure carbolic acid to leu
parts water is recommended as a good
application. A Hula of it may he
poured from a narrow-mouthed .bottle
on to tho skin and allowed to ran be-
tween ilia claws. In thgT advanced
stages of tho disease all of tho loose
horn may he carefully removed and
the club-like growths beneath It shonld
ha dressed with carbolic acid, chloride
of zinc or pcrcliloride of iron, and the
parts protected by a coaling of tar.
Au easy inoihod of dealing with
foot-rot in a Urge flock without the
work of daily examination of tho feat,
is to drive tho sheep twice a week
over a dry floor which is covered with
powdered lime, or through a trough
containing a solutiou of one part car-
bolic toid lo lifty parts water, iu
which a little soft soap is dissolved.
Sufficient fluid should be kept iu the
trough to insure that Hie feet are com-
pletely covered. Prevention can only
he secured by avoiding the introduc-
auirriNO or hauling bum.
One very Important point in ship-
plug bees is to load the hives so that
the combs will run tho long way of
Iho railroad car—parallel with the
rails—hut crosswise of the wsgou
when hauled. The reason for this is
that on tho railroad the only severe
shocks come from the end, while on a
wagon the worst bumping is from
side to ilia. Tho lost is easily tested.
While In the wagon, hold an ordinary
pail by tho rail. It caff' swing freely
iu one direction ouly. If held se that
it can move only lengthwise of (lie
wagon, It will not swing uosrly as
much as if it is freo to move cross-
wise. On steep, rough hills, or where
it will often happen that both front
wheels strike au obatruotioii at' the
same time, It might be best to reverse
this and buve the combe ruu the long
way of tlie wagou. But, ordinarily,
tlie other way is bettor. Springs
under s wagon for banting heos are a
very good investment.—[Bee-Keepers’

CAUSE OF GAFES IN CHICKENS.
This disease is known to ho pro-
duced by * small thread worm that
occupies the aif passages of the lungs
and throat. These smell worms gath-
er In mnssoi, folining a colleottou of
frothy matter that interfere with tho
breathing, and tints produces great
distress and finally tlio dentil of tlie
birds. The young birds are mostly
lroubled4n this way, aud often whole
brood* aro lost in a few days, j How
the worms guilt access lo the young
chicks is a disputed question, hut it is
believed diet OlP eggs of them are
voided by older fowls, who are al-
most always iufested by those worms,
hut on account of tlioir greater ability
to resist tho injury they do not suffor
seriously. Thetc eggs, being thus
swallowed.by Iho chicks in some way
ea*y lo concelye, soon hatch aud find
I heir way to tlio throat and do ihe
mischief complained of. This is the
common belief of experts, and it is
supported by tho fact that when the
chicks arc kept oo ground that has
not boen oocuplod by old fowls, and
the coops are kept clean ovary day?
and iho old fowls Imro been carefully
kept and aro freo trom tbo worms, the
chicks onjoy complete immunity. Tur-
pentine is an eflective rernody for
Ihese parasites, aud if * Hoaspoonful
of it is stirred Into a teacupfal of
meal and the chicks are fed on it, they
will not ho trottblod, and if not loo

Vines on Nalls.
Iu a recent report of tho Secretary
of Agriculture, it is asserted tlust tho
common notion that vines covering
wall* tend to produce or promoto
dampness is so far from being true
that tho contrary is the case, such
covered walls being drier than those
exposed. A moment's reflection would
suggest that a thicket of leaves acts
(hatch, throwing off rain and keep-
ing walls dry. They nlso have the
further effect of preventing walls from
being heated by Ihe sun, so that iu
case of dwellings where the wall* are
covered during the summer (lie
rooms aro perceptibly oOoler in emoe-
quonco.

The let# Duke of Cambridge wee in
the bsblt of thinking out loud, ao to
speak, end there were times when*hr*
■ audible expression of opinions was at
' least iuopportune. It it related of him
<by a lxmdon journal that durip r divine
service, whenever the rector said, “Let
us prey,■“'•His ■ (toy*! Highness would
answer in a voice audible throughout
the church, “Aye, to be sure; why not!"
Once at the opera, after the Duke had
swept the house with his glaasei, he
catted out in a tone that reached from
pit to dome, “Why, J declare, there are
not half a dozen pretty girls Id the house
— not half* dozen, not half a dozen.

Not long-ago there lived in Penntyl-
,ni» in old lady who was celebrated
for having a famous breed of turkeys.
Du one occasion she sold one of these
to a gentleman named Brown. When
rooked and served up at table it was
found to be so tough as n lie quite un-
eatable. Meeting the old woman a
short time afterward Mr. Brown said to
her: ’
“What did you mean by telling your
turkey to met" —

“it wasn't good nt all," »aid the gen.
tleman.
--No good I It was bound to bo good.

tle shows."—Boston Globe.
