The w. G. I. u, of Tennessee, is actively
engaged in work for the colored population.
More than 3d. 600 children of school age in
the city of Chicago are said to be addicted to
the use of strong drink.
A children's organization, composed OF
about ten thousand members, is connected
with the Norwegian Total Abstinence So
ciety.
Thomas jefferson said: ITO the use of
ardent spirits is to be attributed much evil
legislation. If l were again placed in posi-
tion TO do so, my first question to candidate
for Office would be: "Do you drink ardent
spirits@"

And conscience tells you SO;
Though friend should bid you err,
Be firm, and answer No!

There are thirty rum shops to every school
throughout Western Siberia and thirty-fve
rum-shops to every school throughout East
ern Siberia, and in a country where there
exists such disproportion between the
facilities for education and the facilities for
intoxication, one cannot reasonably expect to
find clean, orderly or prosperous villages,
says George KEENAN, in Century.
At recent meeting of the Scottish Tenn.
perance League, Mrs MAR, who has been
engaged in mission work in Africa, told how
she demonstrated with chief for accepting
present of rum and giving it his people
| The chief replied by asking her question to
which she had no answer. He said; Don't

A striking commentary on why the saloon
don't go is furnished by an incident which
occurred at Blackburn, England. A house
was built for beer shop at an expense of a
thousand pounds. A wealthy man living
near the intended public house objected to a
license being granted. The magistrates re.
fused the license as long as this man lived
there, but when he left, although petition

One of the many problems for the bee
keeper to solve is: "How to winter bees
successfully" There are a number of
ways, each of which have their advo-
Gates, and many practical bee men are
successful in wintering their bees in a
cellar, in burrying them in cave and in
wintering them on their summer stands.
1t is of this last method of which intend
to write, as it is one that is generally
used by the average farmer and is as
practical and gives as good results as
any.
The qualifications for successful win
terlngs are: First, plenty of bees. Sec
ond, sufficient amount of food in the
hive. Third, proper protection from the
cold.
There are generally plenty of bees in a
healthy colony as long as the honey is
being gathered freely. In this section
the honey flow lasts till the first frost.
About this time it is well to examine
each colony, and if weak one is found
unite with one that is stronger. One
strong colony is worth half a dozen
weak ones for wintering.
If any of the colonies have at least
thirty pounds Of good honey in their
hive they should be fed honey, or sugar
syrup enough to make up the deficiency.
A good syrup for feeding bees is made
by dlssolvlng five pounds of granulated
sugar IN one quart of water, heat until
it forms smooth syrup, feed to the bees
while warm
he matter of protection is harder
one to deal with. If your bees are not
in chatf hives they must be protected
from the piercing winds and cold storms
Of winter. If there is q thick hedge or
tight board fence to the north and west
of the apiary the chances of wintering
are much better. Extremes of tempera-
ture should be guarded against. This
can be done by banking the hive with
straw and covering with boards, leaving
the entrance open so the bees can fly
should there be a continuous spell of
warm weather during the winter Or
the farmer can use such protection as his
ingenuity suggests only that the result
be the same. He who cannot think and
invent for himself will never make a sue
cessful bee keeper.
After protecting the bees from the
side we must try to keep the warmth
from the cluster in the hive by placin Q
chatf cush ons, folded newspapers, leaves
or something of that sort above the
quilt covering the bees. Always re-
member to put some bent pieces of wood
or some other device between the Quilt
and brood frames to allow the bees to
pass from one frame to the other. II
your bees are in chaff hives, as they
/ should be, all that is needed is to protect
from above, as already described.

Farmers EueI,

Comparatively few farmers employ any,
thing but wood as fle for family use.
There is every reason why this should be
so; upon most farms where there is much
extent Of timber or wood land, there is
generally enough dead wood to furnish
all the light fuel for summer, and the
cutting of timber for necessary repairs
Will go far toward affording the supply
for winter, when the demand is n ore
severe In any event, the farmer who
has wood growing upon his farm, which
he can by turning on his labor convert
into fuel, and so secure'a supply without
any cash outlay, will be likely to resort
to that means in preference to any
other.
A wood fire requires considerable at.
tention in order to secure the best re-
suits, but for general use both summer
and winter, for family purposes there is
nothing better.
And yet, counting the value of the
wood standing, the time required in cut
ting to haul, hauling and time required
to prepare it for use at regular wa es, the
cash value would prove an obstacle to its
use.
AS before stated, because it can be Sc g.
cured wholly without any cash expendi-
ture, and because it can be cut and pre-
pared for use when there is no other
work of the farm pressing, rende it the
popular fuel among farmers.
But in order to secure the best results,
wood should be thoroughly seasoned be.
fore it IS used. In burning green wood
that is filed with sap or moisture, there
must be certain amount OF evaporation
carried on before the fuel will burn, and
certain amount of heat must be en-
ployed in the process; how much of that
heat can be utilized during the process it
Is dlhcnlt to determine, but it is rea-
sonable to suppose that but a small
amount of it can be made available.
Then there is lost in burning green wood
Just as much heat as is required to ex-
pei the moisture from the green wood.
When there is a years supply in add
vance no tlouble in this line need arise,
and if it Is desirable to occasionally use
a stick of green wood to regulate the
heat little better or to prevent too
rapid combustion of the dry, it can be
used.
1t is always best to perform the labor
required in the woods to get ready fol
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1889-01-11

hauling in the early winter, OF what Is
better, in the late fall, so as to take
advantage of any favorable conditions
for hauling, and so as to have supply
at hand for the employment Of spare
hours.
If wood is to DE hauled upon snow we
much Prefer cutting in eight feet lengths,
as it requires less hauling and IS fully as
convenient for chopping at the wood
pile. In cutting thought should be
had for the season of year in which the
bulk of the pile is to be used, and place
by itself that which is smaller and light
wood for summer use. In preparing for
the winter supply it is very good
economy to leave a considerable proper
ton of large size, and especially leave
knots split only so much as may be nee
essary to put into the stove, for the reason
that coarse wood burns slower and makes
coarser Goals when burned, and may
therefore be considered much more
durable. At the same time there should
be "A sufficient quantity finely split so
| that fire may be kindled in the quickest
/ possible time. Those who enjoy the
constant heat of continuous coal lire
know little of the discomfort of occupy
ing ten or fifteen minutes in building a
fire under unfavorable conditions.
After the wood is prepared for use, it
should remain exposed for a time in or.
der to aid the process of seasoning, and
/ Gen it should be placed under cover,
carefully piled up, and remain ready for
future use.
With the variety of opinions regard
ing the best woods for fuel, it may be
said that considerable depends upon
how it is to be used; for burning green
some kinds are far superior to others,
but when seasoned any will answer the
purpose, although there is always a
preference for the harder and more com.
pact varieties.
The hard birches, hickory, ash and
and oaks, are good and will not fail of
making good heat. Some of the soft
are equally as good, but are consumed
much more rapidly, which is objection
able for winter use. " 40 York Observer.

Warming Water for Farm Animals

The question, Does it pay7 has been
propoundeG to several dairymen who
have warmed the drink for their cows in
cold weather, and every one has an-
swered, Yes. How could the answer he
otherwisel if the water is not warmed
for the animal. it must warm it itself In
the stomach the water is brought to a
temperature of nearly one hundred de-
grees. When the animal warns the
water, it uses its food for fuel. If corn,
hay, etc, were burned by the stockTan
to warm the water, then there might be
no gain; but he uses much cheaper fuel.
1t is hardly more trouble to put fuel
under tank than to give the animal the
extra food required for the heating of
the food in the stomach. Tank heaters,
are now manufactured, and by using
them the water can be heated easily and
economically. Heating the water pays
for the further reason that cold water
taken into the stomach arrests digestion
and then causes loss of food. whereas
warm water stimulates the digestive
organs to vigorous action. The animal
that drinks water at the freezing point
is chilled and enervated. -American

FARM AND GARDEN.
Cattle Stalls.

An excellent arrangement for cattle
stalls, says New York Tribune CORE
spondent, consists in a feeding-rack for
coarse fodder raised about three feet
from the floor and the top pitching to-
ward the animal. Under the rack at one
end is a feed-box for fine feed. The
animal, of course, must be fastened with
a tie. When it is eating from the rack
mark on the floor where the toes of the
hind hoofs rest; then spike to the floor
Just even with and forward of the mark
a round stick, tlattened on one side aud
about four inches thick. When eating,
the animals hind feet will stand outside
the stick, and the droppings will fall
there, and when it desires to lie down it
will step over the stick and put its head
down under the rack, as the stick is so
thick it will not rest its hips on that.
This style of stall obviates the necessity
of a drop in the floor, and the animal
keeps cleaner and rests better; but each
stall is only suitable for cattle of the
same length of body.

THE BATTERY TO GO
Unless Our Public Spirit Can Make

Officers at Fort Douglas are in posses.
sion of inform alton indicating that
Light Battery D, Fifth Artillery, will
not remain long at Fort Douglas. The
battery came here from Omaha at the
time of the Murray -McCook uprising
three years ago. Expensive stables
have been built and costly improve
ments made to accomo late these troops,
but these are to be abandoned or con-
verted to other uses, and the battery to
be sent to the bleak plains of Kansas.
Fort Riley, in that State, was long ago
selected by General Sheridan as a
school for cavalry and light artillery,
and in acco1 dance with his desires Con.
gress has made liberal appropriations
for the construc ion of barracks, officers
quarters and stables at that place.
Several batteries are to be concentrated

No other changes are propable at the
Fort for some time, except, perhaps,
the transfer of the company of the
