Many beekeepers have visions of
a two -hundred -pound crop of honey
per colony from many colonies, but
it must be admitted that very few
beekeepers really secure a crop of
that proportion. This is nut due to
pilon seasons in many cases, but
::Imus[ entirely due ee uogli4ence ur
lack of preparation on the part of
the• beekeeper.
It [Hakes little difference how well
colonies of bees are Managed, unless
certain eouditiuua are met, so that
the colonies can take advantage of
he inamignlu'nt bestowed ou them.
For instance. if the queen in the
colony is falling or of pour quality,
then it is an impossibility to secure
a crop of Money from that colony.
Again it is a waste of money and
time tointroduce a vigorous Italian
1.l neer to a colony of bees and then
fail to give the queen alt uVpot•tuultY
to lay a large number of eggs, so
that the colony will go into winter
headquarters in prime condition.
Beekeepers who have ten or more
colonies of bees, know that certain
colonies will return then[ crops three
times as large as the average colony
in the apiary. Yet few beekeepers
appreciate that in most cases the
larger crop of honey is due largely to
the work of a good queen. There
is just as much difference in the
value of queen bees, as there Is be-
tween scrub live stock and pure-bred
live stock, and beekeepe'r's can make
few better investments than the se-
curing of choice, young. Italian
Queered to head the colonies. Thu
very hest tiro, to re -queen is from
„ e middle of July to the middle of
Aliatist
The giving of a young queen
means young bees for winter. con-
sequently less loss in winter and
very much stronger colonies in the
spring of the year, and unless the
beekeeper can have strong colonies
In time for the main honey dow, his
colonies will return him but little
profit that season. After the queen
has been safely introduced, the bee-
keeper should be sure to give the
colony sufficient room, both fit► egg
laying and for the storage of any
surplus honey which might be har-
vested. Sometimes one super fa suf-
ficient, while In some locations and
seasons, two or more supers may be
necessary. The beekeeper himself
must be the judge, as he knows
his location and the season and must
be guided accordingly.
The introduction of a good vigor-
ous Italian queen and the giving of
room both for brood -rearing and
honey storage will also be very valu-
able in the complete control of one
of our most serious brood diseases
of bees, viz., European foulbrood.
With a vigorous Italian queen and
an abundance of stores, It means
strong colonies, and consequently
European foulbrood will do no dam-
age. It would pay the beekeeper to
keep one-half the number of col-
onies ordinarily kept, and give these
every opportunity to do good work,
and if this Is done, the total crop
would be just as large as from twice
the number of colonies poorly
managed.

THE BEGGAR BEFORE GOD
A beggar groveled at my door to -day,
Abashed, unkempt, with vague pa-
thetic eyes
And bang -dog look,
And in a weary wail, a poor sing-
song whine,
Ile asked for alms in words worn
smooth by years.
And then as in a flash 1 saw
A beggar at the feet of God,
The same sing -sung of dumb appeal
in prayers,
The same familiar crooking of the
knee,
And then I thought
If 1 were God,
I would not have my children whine
in prayer
Nor fawn before me, beggars in the
dust,
But rather come and stand before my
face
As would a son who seeks his fa-
ther's aid
And nut as one who shuffles through
the gloom
To ask fur grudging alms at sullen
doors.
And then I made resolve:
1'11 wheedle God no more,
Nur will I cringe before Isis dread
estate,
But I will stand before Him as a son,
And trustworthy will tell Him of my
needs,
And Be will listen and will smile to
think
That. 1, the least of all his children
here,
Would call hint "Father," who first
called me "Son"
Fer 1"! my father is a King, the King
of Kings,
And I and not a beggar at his door,
1 11171 his son.
Pastures Pay In Pork Production.
"One of the beat means of cutting
the cost of producing pork," says
E. F. Ferris, who is in charge of the
hog section at Minnesota :University
Farm, "is to use good pasture and
forage crops. This practice Is advis-
able whether grain be high in price
or cheap; there is a decided saving
in either case. Pigs getting green
feed are more thrifty than those
raised in dry lots, consequently gain
faster and make pork at a lower
cost.
Results obtained at the farm prove
beyond question that it is a short-
sighted policy to neglect to grow
good forage crops when pigs are be-
ing raised. Blue grass and similar
pastures furnish good feed in the
spring, but during summer are little
better than an exercising ground.
Some one crop, or more than one,
should be grown to give fresh suc-
culent green feed in summer and
early fall. Dwarf Essex rape. alfalfa
and red clover are the outstanding
top notch forage crops in the corn
belt. Of these rape is by far the
most suitable for Minnesota condi-
tions. The cost of seeding Is low—
about five pounds of seed per acre
1s an average quantity—and in fav-
orable season the crop is ready to be
pastured six weeks front sowing. If
grain Is fed In reasonable amounts
an acre of rape will carry from twen-
ty to thirty growing pigs through
the seasf;n.
"White hogs, and sometimes black
and red ones, blister when runnipg
in rape. There 1s nothing peculiar
about this crop which canses blis-
tering; the trouble results simply
from the combination of moisture,
transferred from the rape to the hog,
and a hot sun. By keeping pigs out
of the rape patch until the dew or
rain has evaporated from the leaves
of the plants, blistering can be pre-
vented.
"Rape can he sown as early in the
spring as the ground can he worked.
Even a small patch in a teed lot will
save grain in raising plea."
Tomatoes are ripening. and It is
necessary to apply small quantities
of nitrate of soda around each plant
to hasten them.

WORLD'S MOST ANCIENT COURT
OF Jt'5'I'ICE.
The most ancient court of justice
in the world is situated in the far
Fast End of London, England. It is
enshrined in an old and dingy brick
building in a rather squalid corner,
which bears the high-sounding name
of St. James' Plate.
In this obscure, out-of-the-way cor-
ner of London is a (:curt which was
hoary with age b,•fore King Alfred
was cradled. It has wandered over

flourishing industries who will be
able to adjust himself to new con-
ditions. The larger the industry
the greater the difficulty of weather-
ing the storm. The largest manufac-
turing business in the world, which
we take the Ford business to be, has
turned the corner
out precisely where the penknife
has been in the slightest contact with
the edge.
Another of its functions is to grant
licenses for marriages to be perform-
ed at one of the hundred or more
synagogues in the British Iales; and
before this is done the Court must
have ;before it the fullest information
as to the parties to the marriage --
their past records, their names, ages,
particulars of their families;' in the
case of minors, whether they have
the permission of parents or guard-
ians, etc.
But perhaps the most useful of all
the Court's offices is that of "guide,
philosopher and friend" to the hun-
dreds who come to it for advice in
the many difficulties of life—from the
widow who is left penniless and does
nut know how to provide for herself
and her children, and the wife whose
husband has deserted her, to, the poor
emigrant who finds himself unable
to earn a living in England and
1 wishes to be sent back to _his own
people.
Of this venerable Court, of which
the world hears and knows practically'
nothing, it may truly be said that it
has a record of usefulness and abso-
lute integrity which probably no
other Court in the world can claire.
Mr. Ford says that the first in-
dication of approaching trouble came
to him early in 1920, when a few con-
cerns manufacturing luxuries or staple
commodities began to fail. He won-
dered how long it would be before
people refrained from buying Ford
cars. When the time came, as it did
shortly, he was not taken unawares.
By June sales were falling off at an
alarming rate. Yet in the face of the
buying strike, as it was called, the
firms that supplied him with raw ma-
terial showed no intention of cutting
prices. In Detroit. firm after firm
shut down, but the Ford plant continu-
ed to run at full blast to everybody's
astonishment.In September came the
sensational announcement that the
price of the cars had been reduced.
It was announced that the company
made the cut in anticipation of low-
ered prices for raw material and that
for a time it would manufacture at a
loss in order to hasten a return to
the basic prices of peace time. It
figured it had' to take a loss some
time, and chose to take it then, the
loss being one of $17,000,000.
-Business increased as a result of
the reduced prices, and some other
manufacturers also cut prices, but
soon sales fell off again. The public
had evidently come to the conclusion
that the process of deflation had not
been completed, and it sat back to
wait. Nevertheless Ford continued
to operate the plant, but he was buy-
ing mighty little raw material. What
he was doing was turning into finish-
ed cars every scrap of material he had
on hand, and to turn this into cars
was the next thing to turning it into
money. Then the factory closed down.
It was expected to reopen in two
weeks, but as a matter of fact, it
did not open for six weeks. This was
the time that rumors flew over the
country. It' was said that the Ford
people were in financial difficulties,
arid that they would • never reopen,
or that if they did .it would be nndet
a new directorship. It was more
than hinted that Henry Ford had been
going about Wall Street hat in hand,
but that because of the attacks of his
paper, the Dearborn Independent, upon
the ,Jews, the latter had been able to
keep him from getting money.
It is true enough that Wall Street
was keenly interested in Ford, but
instead of him asking for money,
Wall Street offered it. The -agent of
one big Wall Street firm visited Mr.
Ford and tried to force money on him.
"I don't need a loan," said the manu-
facturer. The broker insisted that he
did and showed an intimate knowledge
of the financial obligations hnd the
resources of the company. He out-
lined the plan, to which Mr. Ford
listened nut of courtesy. The read-
ing went on for several minutes, and
(then the reader suddenly broke off to
ask: "Who's going to be the new
treasurer of your company?" "That
makes no difference to you. does it?"
asked the manufacturer. "011, yes it
does. We'll have to have, some sav
as to who the new treasurer will be."
This ended the interview. Mr. Ford
handed the banker his hat and hurri-
ed him to the dbor,
Then Mr. Ford proceeded to raise
the money himself. Between Janu-
institution, this Court, which is known
ae Beth Din (the House of Judgment)
is very sedate and dignified. it has
none of the ceremonial of our own
Courts of Justice, none of the pomp
and splendor of Assize.
In a large room on the first floor
of the Court House you will find per-
haps a hundred or more Jews of both
sex and all ages assembled, awaiting
their turn to present their cases be-
fore the tribunal; and meanwhile dis-
cussing their grievances in a babel of
tongues, ranging from Yiddish to the
patois of Russia and Peland-lwith
syrppathetic listeners.
As each successive case is called,
the parties mount the stairs to the
Court, and find themselves in a bare-
ly furnished room and in the presence
of the Reverend Rabbi. and of his
assessors, one sitting on each side of
him behind a long table.
' The two dominant features of the
Beth Din are its silence and its entire
absence of all formality. There are
no prosy or eloquent counsel, no jury
and no warders. In law voices the
plaintiff states his grievances, the de-
fendantsand the wit-
nesses

P
heard. The litigants then
nesses are d g
retire; the judge and his assessors
consult together inaudibly, and the
verdict is quickly given. It is justice
administered on ideal lines of busi-
ness and common-sense, and without
listening ears --dor each case is tried
in camera.
And what is the jurisdiction of this
strange and really wonderful Court?
It covers the whole field of wrong-
doing, except crime. It adjucicates
on debt and breach of promise, as
sault and libel. It decides disputes
between husband and wife, parent and
It child, employer and servant. I lays
down the law in problems of religion
or ritual or diet..
Unlike our own courts of law it has
no power to enforce its decisions. The
litigants whp come before it, how-
ever, must first sign an undertaking
to abide by its verdict; and such is
the faith in its wisdopt and justice
that, with very rare exceptions, its
judgments are accepted as final.

And that this faith is by no means
confined to Jews is proved by the fact
that many case's that would other -
come before East End Magis-
tra es are sent for adjudication to the
Beth Din, with the certainty that
justice will be done. ' In fact, many
ZSf the cases thus remitted could not
be properly tried in an English court,
for the reason that the parties to them
can only speak strange tongues, of
which the police court interpreters
are as ignorant as the magistrates
themselves.
Among other interesting functions
of Beth Din is the granting of licenses
to Jewish butchers, empowering them
to kill animals for food. This is a
task which demands .froth knowledge
and skill, for the animals must be kill-
ed as painlessly aspossible, and the
arterial blood mubi't be drawn off very
quickly. These conditions call for
much study and jirae ice before the
would-be butcher can qualify for his
license.
When he thinks he has sufficiently
masteredtheanatomy of the animals
and has acquired the necessary dex-
terity, he appears before the court
to prove his qualfifications. Part of
his test is to sharpen a slaughterer's
knife so perfectly that the trained
hand of an expert cannot detect the
faintest flaw in its edge. This suc-
cessfully done, he is sent out of the
room; and, onv being recalled, the
knife is handed to him after being
touched with penknife in two or three
places on.the edge.,during his absence.
And, to )?►ass thi8 test, he must point

wore a baffled expression, and she
said softly to herself, "Mr. Buttinski,
Butt-in—to intrude. It sounds quite
Polish; I think even more Polish than
Russian."
He was afraid he would yell with
glee, but he did not. Herculean ef-
fort enabled him to restrain his feel-
ings, and present to her only an or-
dinary -sized smile.
"I shouldn't know one from the
other," he said; 'cbut if you say it
sounds more Polish, I bet it does."
"Would you like to go into a cot-
tage?" she inquired. "I think it
might be as well. They will like the
attention." .
"Will theY• of
course I11 go if
you think that. What shall I say?"
he asked somewhat anxiously.
"If you think the cottage looksclean
you might tell them so, and ask a few
questions about things. And you must
be sure to inquire about Susan Hib-
blethwaite's legs."
"What?" ejaculated Tembarom.
"Susan Hibblethwalte's legs," she
replied in mild explanation. "Susan
is Mr. Hibblethwadte's unmarried
sister, and she has very bad legs. It
is a thing one notices continually a-
mong village people, more especially
the women, that they complain of
what they call 'bad legs.' And they
like you to inquire about them, so that
they can tell you their symptoms."
"Why don't they get them cured?"
"I don't know, I'm sure. They
take a good deal of medicine when
they can afford it. I think they like
to take 3t, They're very pleased when
the doctor gives them 'a bottle o'
summat,' as they call it. Oh, I must
not forget to tell you that most of
them speak rather broad Lancashire."
"Shall I understand them?" Tem-
barom asked, anxious again. "Is it a
,sort of Dago talk?"
"It is the English the working -
classes speak in Lancashire. 'Sum -
mat' means `something:' 'Whoam'
means 'home.' But I should think
you would be very clever at under-
standing things."
"I'm scared stiff," said Tembarom,
not in the least uncourageously; "but
I want to go into a cottage a'hd hear
some of it. Which one shall we go
into?"
There were several whitewashed
cottages, in the lame, each .in its own
bit of garden and behind its own haw-

suggestive of white blossoms and al-
mond scent to the uninitiated. Miss
Alicia hesitated a moment.
"We will go into this one, where
the Hobblethwaitee live," she _decid-
ed. "They are quite clean, civil peo-
ple. They have a naughty, queer,
little crippled boy, but I suppose they
can't keep him in order because he is
an invalid. He's rather rude, I'm

They went together up the bricked
path, and Miss Alicia knocked at the
low door with her knuckles. A stout,
applefaced woman opened it, looking
a shade nervous.
Good morning, Mrs. Hobbleth-
wtaite,' said Miss Alicia in a kind but
remote manner. "The new Mr. Tem-
ple Barholm has been kind enough to
come to see you. It's very good of
him to come so soon, isn't it?"
"It is that," Mrs. Hobblethwadte
answered respectfully, looking him
over. "Wilt tha coom in, sir?"
Tembarom accepted the invitation,
feeling extremely awkward because
Miss Alicia's initiatory comment up-
on his goodness in showing himself
had "rattled" him. It had made him
feel that he must appear condescend-
ing, and he had never condescended
to any one in the whole course of iris
existence. He had, indeed, not even
been condescended to. He had met
with slanging and bullying, indiffer-
ence and brutality of manner, but he
had not met with condescension.
"1 hope you're well, Mrs. Hobble-
thwaite," he answered. "You look
dt."
"1 deceive my looks a good bit,
sir," she answered. "Mony a day ma
legs is nigh as bad as Susan's."
Tha 'rt jealous o' Susanla legs,"
barked out a sharp voice from a cor-
ner by the fire.
The room had a flagged floor, clean
with recent scrubbing with sandstone;
the whitewashed walls were decorat-
ed with pictures cut from illustrated
papers; there was a big fireplace, and
by it was a hard looking sofa cover-
ed with blue and white checked cot-
ton stuff. A boy of about ten was
lying on it, propped up with a pillow.
Ile had a big head and a keen, ferret -
eyed face, and just now was looking
round the end of his sofa at the
visitors.
"Hawd tha tongue Tummas!" said
his mother.
"I wunnot •howd it," Tummas ans-
wered. "Ma tongue 's th' only thing
about me as works right, an I'm
noan goin' to stop it."
"He's a young nowt," his mother
explained; "but he's a . cripple, an'
we conna do owt wi' him."
"Do not be rude, Thomas," said
Miss Alicia, with dignity.
"Dunnot be rude thysen," replied
Tummas. "I'm noan o' thy lad."
Tembarom walked over to the sofa.
"Say," he began with jocular in-
tent, "you've got a grouch on, ain't
you?"
Tummas turned on him eyes which
bored. An analytical observer or a
painter might have seen that he had
a burning curiousness of look, a sort
of investigatory fever of expression.
"I dunnot know what tha means;"
he said. "Happen that'rt talkin'
'Merican?"
"That's just what it is," admitted
Tembarom. "What are you talk-
•ing?,
Lancashire," said Thomas. "Theer
's seine sense i' that."
Tembarom sat down near him, The
boy turned over against his pillow .
and put his chin in the hollow of -his
palm and stared.
"I've wanted to see thee," he re-
marked. "I've made mother an' Aunt
Susan an' feyther tell me every bit
they've heared about Ghee in the v'il•
lage. Theer was a lot of it, Tha
coom fro' 'Meriker?"
"Yes." Tembarom began vaguely
to feel the demand in the burning
curiosity.

"Gi' me that theer book," the boy -
said, pointing to a small 'table heap-
ed with a miscellaneous jumble of
things and standing not far front
him. "It's a' atlas," he . added as
Tembarom gave it to him. "Yo' cos
find places in it." He turned the
leaven until he found a map of the
world. "Theer's 'Meriker," he said,
pointing to the United States. "That
thec's north and theer's South. All
th' real 'Morikens comes from the
North, wheer New York is."
"I come from New York," said
Tembarom.
"Tha wort born in' th' workhouse,
tha run about th' streets i' rags, tha
pretty nigh clemmed to death, tha
blacked boots, tha sold newspapers,
tha feyther was a common workin'-
mon—and now tha's coop: 'into Tem-
