FARM AND HOSEHOLD.
WINTER PROVISIONS FOR BEES.

II is unfortunate 10 be compel eu
10 furnish food to bees at any time
during winter. The proper Tine
for this is in the autumn months.
Bees that lack stores should he led
enough in warm weather to last
them the entire winter. We can
not count much on colonies that
are destitute of stores at the
beginning of winter. The process
of feeding as usually done will not
answer in Geld weather, as 1t VIII
prove destructive to the BEES
Many careless persons are caught
IN this predicament, the work
having been put off from time 10
time. Late feeding is the cause OF
much disaster, and it should De
avoided by all means. But if we
are compelled to provide food at
such a time we must do the best
we can under the circumstances.
Sealed honey, if possible to ob-
tain frames of il, would be much
the best thing, but when this Is
not to be secured we must provide
candy made from granulated sugar.
A little water is added to start IL
boiling. No more water should be
used than will just serve to dls'
solve the sugar, for if much is
used it will require longer to DOL
ont. Ten or fifteen minutes is
long enough to boil, when 1t may
be poured into vessels suitable TO
mold it into two or three pound
cakes. This candy must be placed
IN the hive where the bees have
access to it at all times, and the
hive must have a protection OF
chat packing or be placed in the
cellar. The blocks of candy should
be placed directly on the frames
over the cluster and thoroughly
packed above. As the heat Of the
bees naturally rises and the candy
is protected so as to retain the
heat. the bees viii cluster about 1t
at all times.
The feed is healthy for bees and
may be recommended in high
terms as a preventive of dysentery,
and be used even if the colony has
abundant stores. / have wintered
colonies on this alone, as an eX-
pertinent, but l prefer some honey
in the hive, especially in the latter
part Of the winter when breeding
should commence. This candy Is
largely used in early spring.
from the beginning OF March, If
colonies are found short Of pro-
visions. Bees will desert their
own stores entirely for it, and Will
work on 1t as long as it lasts
Dysentery is most likely to make
it appearance in March, and in
many cases feed has proved tue
means of curing it. \ colony will
winter on it with less appearance
OF dysentery than on any quality
of honey, but the colony must be
well protected from cold, as the
bees cannot form as compact clns'
tiers as when on the combs.

Read Dust as a Fertilizer.

Sometimes the dust on much
Travelled roads is so filled and
saturated with solid aud liquid
droppings of passing animals that it
becomes a fairly good manure. The
best effect is produced, says the
american CultirdtOr, when it it is
scattered over grass land, the dust
serving as a mulch to keep the sur
face light aud rams washing its
better part down to the grass
routs. Sometimes farmers lacking
phosphate have drilled in road
dust with seed grain, and have
claimed good results from its use.
The farmers who do this try hard
to believe that the inexpensive
fertilizer 1s8s good as any, and
sometimes they succeed. But it
Will always pay to put up a few
barrels OF road dust in or near the
hen house to mix with the drop
pings Of fowls. 1t serves as a de.
odorizer, and absOrbs whatever
ammonia the manure would other
wise lose. Before spring it be-
comes a really good fertilizer,
whatever it may have been at the
beginning. Farmers who live near
cities can usually get the street
sweepings, which are mainly horse
manure and very rich in plant food,
for the labor of drawing away
Except for their liability to con-
tam weed seeds they are an ex.
cellent and cheap manure tor those
near enough to use it freely.
