Wintering Bees.

Having had over quarter of a CEN
fury of experience in the care of bees,
and not having been out of honey for
over thirty years, will give to the read
ers of your paper my manner for winter
ing bees Place the hives on covered
platform, near together, about two feet
from the ground, III a dry place; then
bore fine holes in the top of the hives.
for ventilation (fve-eighth bitt is about
the size). Then place boxes two-thirds
filled with dry straw to absorb the mois-
ture from the bees and prevent freezing.
Pack dry straw around the hives. to
keep as even temperature as possible.
Give plenty of air at the entrance of the
hives, but guard against mice. Place a
board, edge raised, in front of the en-
trance, to prevent snow from drifting
in; examine often, and keep the passage
clear from snow, ice and dead bees, to
prevent smothering. Mild days in win
ter, if the bees incline to move, raise the
hive little, and remove all dead bees
and dirt from the bottom board, and if
it is dry, your bees are all right if plenty
of honey.
1t is not extreme cold weather that
causes bees to perish, but sudden change
and continuation of cold, as in JS74-5.
For example, the cold winter of 1923
| carried my bees through nicely without
loss. In 1884 my bees were all right
in the spring. In 1915 the extreme
long winter, | lost five colonies; the
balance did well. If you recollect, there
were about 40 days that it was too cold
for bees to move in the least. It is said
by experienced bee managers that bees
cannot endure much over 100 DAYS of
confinement. That is why my bees per-
ished, have no doubt
In 1856 my bees came through all
right, and have trebled their population
and given Us two sets of boxes and filled
their hives full for winter.
When your bees come out in warm
days and there is snow on the ground. it
is protection to feeble bees to have straw
spread on the snow in front of the hive.
&c. ". Dickinson, in Michigan Farmer.

A White Lady Prisoner i'm India,

A Scottish traveller, who stopped for
a few hours in city in the interior of
India, caught a glimpse of a white
woman in native dress She was in a
palki, borne on the shoulders of slaves.
which indicated that her rank was high.
On the following day she sent a message
to him that he was the first European
she had seen since her childhood: that
she remembered being dragged away
from her family, while their house was
burning, when she was FIVE wears old.
and that her name was Lucy: that she
had grown up among the natives, had
forgotten the English language, and was
the wife of an Indian prince; and that
she desired to inquire of the traveller about
her parentage. The messenger implored
him to see the woman, who was weeping
at home; but before he could do so she
was removed from the neighborhood.
presumably as consequence of her COM
munication with the stranger. The in
ference is that Lucy is a survivor of the
mutiny massacres of 1857.

Taking a Likeness Under Difficulties.
arts Cores. of the Hartford Times.

Gambetta is the most of Jehu that
holds reign in France to-day. During
the past two weeks, when everything
that he has to do with has been in the
utmost turmoil, that man has been sit
ting for bust or rather the sculptor
has been sitting for it, while Gambetta
was flying about his office, reading let
tiers and writingthem, debating to three
scribes at once, receiving his agents from
all over France. hearing their reports,
encouraging and discouraging, comment
ing upon them and instructing the agents,
receiving visitors, and talking with gov
eminent officials and lawyers. 1t was
one of the most amusing sights of all
Paris, to sit in the private Office, a per-
nit for which, under pretence of some
business or other, was comparatively
easy to obtain, and watch that helpless
artist maneuver. When the great states
mans back was toward him he went for
his hair; when the profile was present
ed, for the nose; when full front face
was turned upon him he had the most
hopeless task of all. Every one knows
what a Erenchman's face is under excite
ment, all manner of extraordinary con-
tortions imaginable; and the poor fellow
sometimes threw down his steel with the
most woe-begone idiotic stare that lean,
lank, cadaverous, long-haired, grizzled-
bearded, large-eyed, half-starved dog of
a sculptor could put on, till it verify
seemed as though the poor fellow, if he
had had thing on his stomach, would
have been absolutely seasick in the
whirling and heaving that he was forced
to submit to. From present appearances,
however, the bust will be a complete
success, a picture true as life, of the
ruling spirit of France to-day, in his
very best position of intense animation.

Narrowing Wheat.

Secretary Stratton, of the Colorado
board of Agriculture, in his report to
Governor Routt, among other interest
ing information has the following in re-
lation to narrowing wheat:
The practice of narrowing winter
wheat in the spring Of the year, has OBJ
tanned to some extent in the western
states; and reasoning from analogy, Mr.
2. NJ. Human, of Builder county-a
member of the board-having field of
wheat which failed to have a good stand,
and whose general outlook was every
way inferior to the balance of his wheat,
decided to harrow the field and note the
results. The harrow was faithfully APP
piled when the young wheat was four to
six inches high. Many of Mr.. Hinman's
neighbors, who witnessed the operation,
were very free to express their opinion
that the wheat would be ruined. Such,
however, was not the case, as Mr.. Hin
man informed me that imediately after
the narrowing, the wheat took on bet
ter look, and commenced growing rap
idly; and at harvest time the field so
treated gave the largest yield.

times" when light bodied fowls were
the go, it did well enough to let them
roost high, especially as the hen house
was not carefully closed at night to pre-
vent the visits of predatory rats, weasels
and other animals with a natural relish
for chickens in the rough. Now We have
heavier fowls, are more particular in re-
gard to the condition of the plumage,
and take more pains with them, so these
erial roosting place. can readily be dis
pensed with, substitute being readily
found in the now popular roosting
benches, which can be made but with a
small outlay of time, labor and money,
and are movable, permitting the fancier
to move them wherever necessary. These
benches can be made from twelve to six
teen inches high and of 2xl inch Stats
There is no regular length for these
benches, from five to six feet being a
very convenient size, though if the COM
partment be not too wide, they can be
made to conform to the width of the
house, being careful to make them set
true on the floor, with wide spread legs
well fastened on.-Poultry Journal.

Storing Roots for Feed.

In storing roots for winter feeding,
never use the house cellar for the pur-
pose, for the smell that will continually
arise from them and prevade the entire
house will not only be unpleasant, but
may lead to sickness. A barn cellar is
the most appropriate place, though we
have kept large quantities out of doors,
in mounds made for the purpose. We
select a high piece of ground, on which
we put light sprinkling of straw; on
this the heap of roots is put, say about
fifty bushels in heap, after first care
fully removing the tops or leaves. After
the pile has been nicely rounded up,
spread light covering of straw on them
and then put on the earth or soil care
fully to the depth of six or eight inches,
first making a " chimney" at the extreme
top, with a whisp of straw placed upright,
to afford ventilation. By taking the soil
from Immediately around the pile for COW
ering the roots, better drainage is afforded
and they are kept free from wet or
put on which is necessary, go over the
heap and pat it down nicely with the
spade, to make it shed the rain without
washing away any, or but little. In this
way we have kept carrots, beets, pars-
nips turnips and mangel wurtzelS the
entire winter. We always took one heap
at time, when wanted for use, and con-
veyed all to the barn, to a dark place
free from frost. When this lot was used
up, we tackled another heap in the same
way.
If roots are kept in light and airy
place, they will soon shrivel up or rot,
and lose much of their value as stock
feed. After the heap has been finished
and packed down with the spade, it is a
good plan to cover with few inches of
old straw or fresh litter from the stable,
which will prevent heavy rains from
washing the earth down. A better sub
stance is long rye straw placed around
the mound and tied at the top, as this
will shed most of the rain, and if drain
age is properly provided for, no trouble
need be apprehended.-Cor. Practical
Farmer.

The Household.

LIGHT DUMPLINGS.-Take as much
light dough as will make a loaf of bread,
work, into it one-half pound of raisins
Tie loosely in a cloth and boil an hour
and half
MIRACLEs.-Four eggs, two cups of
sugar, two-thirds of butter, one-half tea
spoonful of ginger, stirred thick with
flour. Roll out, cut very thin, and fry
in hot lard.
To KILL MoTHs.-Pour plenty of
odorous naphtha over your furniture;
set the furniture out doors some bright
windy day, and the naphtha will soon
evaporate. Spring and fall are good
times to try it.
CoLoGNE.-Alcohol, one gallon; oil
of lemon, two ounces; oil of bergamot,
one ounce; oil of lavender, (best Eng
lish) one and one-half drains; oil of
orange, four drains; oil of neroli, one
dram; essence of musk, one and one-half
ounces; otto of rose, one-half dram !;
acetic ether, four drains The materials
should be of the best quality, and should
be well mixed, allowed to stand for eight
days, and filtered through magnesia.

is, scald and remove the brown skim
pound of almonds, and pound in NOR
tar with teaspoonful lemon essence till
smooth paste; add an equal quantity
of sifted white sugar and the beaten
whites of 2 eggs. Work well together
with the pestile till very smooth, then
dip the hands in the cold water and work
the paste into balls the size of nut
meg; lay them on white paper an inch
apart and put them in a cool oven for
forty minutes. Cocoanut can be grated
and used in the place of almonds.
To BONE TURKEY.-After fowl is
drawn, take very sharp knife and care
fully separate the flesh from the bones.
beginning at the wings, and being very
careful not to break the skin; scrape the
flesh clear from the bones, going from
the wings to the breast, then the thighs,
then the legs; when all the bones are
lOosened, take hold of the turkey tightly
by the neck and give it pull, VIXEN the
bones will come out; but this requires
the greatest patience and care to do
nicely, and it is far better and cheaper
to send it to professional cook to do for
you. There are steel instruments for
boning turkey.
OYSTER PATTIEs.- puff paste in
this way: To every pound of -four add
! of a pound of butter, the yolk of l
cgg-use ice cold water-chop half the
butter into the flour, then stir in the
egg, work all into a dough, roll, cut
thin, spread on some of the butter; fold
closely, butter side in, and re-roll; do
this until the butter is all used up. Keep
the paste in cold place, while you pre-
pare the oysters. Set the oysters on the
stove in a sauce pan, with liquor enough
to cover them; as soon as they come to a
boil, skim them, stir in little butter
and pepper; also, if desired, a little
cream. Line your small tins with your
paste, put three or four oysters in each,
add a little of the liquor, then cover
with paste; bake in quick oven twenty
minutes; while hot, wash over the top
with a beaten egg, using a swab or
brush, and set in the oven minute or so
to glace.

OFF ROUGH POINT.
BY EMMA LAZARUS,

W. sat at twilight nigh the sea,
The fog hung gray and weird.
Through the thick film uncannily
The broken moon appeared,
We heard the pillows crack and plunge,
We saw nor waves nor ships.
Earth sucked the yapors like sponge,
The salt spray wet our lips.
Closer the woof Of white mist drew,
Before, behind, beside.
How could that phantom moon break through,
Above that shrOuded tide?
The roaring waters filed the ear,
white blank foiled the sight.
Close-gathings shadows near, more near,
Brought the blind, awful night.
o friends who passed unseen, unknown!
O dashing, troubled sea
Still stand we on a rock alone,
Walled round by mystery.
