Successful wintcring of bees depends
largely on preparations made before cold
weather sets in, such as uniting weak col
onies, feeding, etc. The extra food must
be given so early that the bees can seal
up their stores. Unscalcd comb during
winter in not healthful food. Whatever
variety Of food is given them, the mOis-
ture that arises from the bees during
| cold weather enters the unsealed stores,
and produces disease. 1t is lar better to
look to this important matter during the
| honey season, and prepare frames OF
| sealed honey 10 supply all colonies that
need feed. But, in our greed for
heavy crop, we are apt to lose sight Of
this, and when fceding-time comes, we
buy sugar, at high prices, to supply these
wants. The fact has been demonstrated,
time and again, that it is cheaper 10 de-
pend upon the honey source alone than
to use sugar at any time. Besides, we
are greatly injured by the popular idea
that we feed sugar for the production OF
surplus honey. But, though it is cheap
CT and better to depend upon the natural
honey source alone, yet, if we have col
Onies without honey enough to carry
them through the winter, and no surplus
honey at hand to give them, we must
feed them sugar or lose them. Uniting
bees, and supplying all colonies with good
fertile queens, is Of primary importance.
As we have the advantage Of movable
frame hives, we should thoroughly ar
range the brood-nest in every colony so
that the brood shall occupy the center
OF the hive or combs. Ii o frame Of
brood IS carclessly set on one side, the
bees occupy the other side, and the brood
separates. After properly arranging the
hive and providinga good queen, we are
ready to feed. The food will be stored
around the cluster Of bees. Frames of
comb filled with pollen near the cluster
Of bees are considered injurious to bees
during winter This has been our ex-
perience, and we take particular pains to
either remove such frames from the hive
or place them outside of the brood-nest.
Bees should not cluster on frames filed
With pollen during winter. They use
too much pollen as food, and it has a
tendency to produce dysentery.
During this time Of preparation is the
best time to change the stock of bees
Good queens of all improved stock are
now very low in price, and if we intro
duce queens now we have the full advan-
tage Of the new stock the next season, as
we should not if we put off such work
until the following spring, when queens
cost double, or even more. Bees should
have protection during winter, either by
using chat hives, Or keeping the colonies
under ground. But we should keep in
mind that the most important thing to
give them is good supply OF sealed
honey, within easy access. Many colo
MICS OF bees starve to death from the fact
that the honey is all in one side of the
hive and the bees on the other, while the
weather is so cold that they cannot move
to it. This is another reason for putting
the cluster of bees in the center Of the
hive, and the honey on each side

FREE DOCTORING.

The Boston Globe is vigorously OPP
posing the measure in the Massachus-
etts legislature imposing fine or i'm
prisonment upon the practice of ''med-
icine, surgery or midwifery" by any
other than the regular orthodox ply
sicians. It. regards il as an outrage upon
personal liberty to make monopoly of
dosing people. If the sufferers want to
put themselves in the hands of faith or
Christian science workers. Or any other
persons who claim to be able to diSin-
feet the system, it is their privilege, in
the view of our Athenian namesake.
To show that scientific knowledge is in
definitely distributed among the regu-
lars, the Boston paper had one of its
reporters interview ten of them in one
day, describing his symptoms in exactly
the same language to each. The ten
physicians informed him that he was
suffering from ten different diseases,
and gave him ten different prescrip-
lions, each inconsistent with the others.
There is evidently good deal of lati-
tude inside of the regular lines, with a
fair chance that at times the ancient
DANES familiar remedies may compete
in efficacy.

WEATHER SERVICE.

Senator SCHEFFER's weather service
bill merits favorable action on the part
of the legislature. Up to this time the
state weather service has been main
tanned by few public-spirited citizens
and the st. Paul chamber of commerce;
butas tits of great benefit to citizens ofall
parts of the state there is no reason why
the state of Minnesota should not initiate
the example set by eight Or ten other
states where such service has been
adopted, and extend its operation all
over the state. The president OF the
state agricultural society states
that he considers this service
to be of incalculable benefit to
the producers of Minnesota in giving.
them warning of approaching storms,
by which, in the past, many lives have
been lost in the winter, and many
millions of dollars worth of crops have
been wasted, all of which could have
been arrested if the service contem-
plated by the SCHEFFER bill had been
in operation in all parts of the state. A
similar bill to the SCHEFFER bill was in
troduced in the senate at the last session
and passed that body. 1t was recon-
mended by the committee of the house
to whom it was referred, but, in the
rush of business at tie close of the Ses-
sion. was overlooked, or not reached.
Now that it has again been brought be-
fore the legislature early enough in the
session to be disposed of, we hope to see
it receive the attention it merits.

THE NEW JUDGES.

Gov. MERRIAM is to be congratulated
upon the wisdom of his appointments
for the two additional district judges
provided for by the bill which recently
passed the legislature. 1t is no dis
paragement to the two other dis
tinguished gentlemen who were named
for these positions that Col. KERR and
Mr.. Villas were selected. The governor
doubtless had wrestle in his own
mind to select two from the four names
presented to his consideration by the
bar association, but as only two could
be chosen. there is no room to find fault
with the governors judgment. Col.
KERR long residence in this city, as well
as the prominent position he had held
at the bar and the active part he had
taken in public affairs, had contributed
to single him out as one of the judicial
appointeeS. For the same reasons there
was popular impression that Judge
EGAN would be Col. KERR's associate
on the bench. But Mr.. Villas was
chosen: and. although comparatively a
newcomer to this city, he did not come
20 q W lltC Aoi his
reputation as lawyer had preceded
him. For many years Mr.. Villas had
been recognized as one of the foremost
lawyers in the state of Wisconsin, and
could have held the highest judicial po-
sitions in that state if he had expressed
willingness to accept them.
Both of the new judges are in the
prime of life. and exceptionally qualified
in the possession of legal lore and phys
zeal strength to perform the arduous
duties of the bench. In congratulating
the governor upon the wisdom of his
choice in the selection of judges, we are
likewise impelled to congratulate the
citizens of the Ramsey county district
upon their good fortune in securing the
services of two such capable judges.

"A LIEN LAW.

In framing mechanics lien law the
legislature will do well to give careful
attention to the suggestions and recon-
mendations made by the National Asso-
citation of Builders at their recent con-
vention in Philadelphia. Notable
among these suggestions was one that
the lien laws of the various states be so
amended that they will only protect
actual personal labor performed by
journeymen and laborers upon property
liable to attachment, in amount not to
exceed the value Of tWenty-four days
work for each individual entitled to
protection, and the claims of the direct
contractor. The wisdom of this recon-
mendation is readily perceived by those
who have had any experience in
building. The extensive scope given
to most of our lien laws is
a positive bar to building, because the
builder never knows where or when
there is to be limit to the payments he
will have to make. When person I'M
dertakes to put up a new building he
deals with the direct contractor. His
responsibility should cease there, eX-
cept so far as to give reasonable pro-
lection to the journeymen and laborers
who work for the contractor. When
laborer has worked a month without re-
ceiving compensation from the con-
tractor, it is surely time for him to quit,
or to at least give the owner of the i'm
provement notice that he shall be held
responsible for the payment of the
workman's claim. The trouble with
most of these lien laws is that the prop
erty owner is left at the mercy of dis
honest contractors. While the la
borer should be properly protected.
it is only just that the property owner
should have equal protection, and some
Of the responsibilities be fixed upon the
direct contractor. 1t is the direct con-
tractor who deals with the subcontract-
ors, the material men and the laborers;
and the law should hold him in meas
IRE responsible to them without throw
ing an overburden of responsibility on
the property owner, who has no dealing
with any one except the direct contract
or. There are equities all around, and
they should be observed.

THE FALsIFIED RECORDS.
What Might Have Been a Sensa-
ton Laid at Rest.

Some days ago one of the clerks at
the district court, in looking over the
records of judgments against property,
found an instance where some one had
changed the date of the filing of judy
ment from Sept. 25 to IS. On inyestiga-
ton it was found that the figure had
been changed in all the records the
same. What the purpose was was not
easily seen, unless it was to gain few
days time. Day before yesterday. the
man whom the Judgment was against,
came into the clerks Office and satisfied
the Judgment. 1t was then found, after
some questioning, that just after the
judgment had been obtained, and be-
fore it had been filed, the owner of the
property desired to dispose of the prop
erty. He did not want the judgment
to show, as it would demonstrate that
there was lien On the property. But
the Judgment was filed. and IN order to
make it appear that there was no
judgment against the property, some
one interested had changed the date of
filing from Sept. 25 to Sept. 2S, thus
transferring the judgment to the Shout
ders of the person whom the property
was transferred. No further action
will be taken in the matter. as it has
been found that the person making the
alterations in the records can not be To-
Gated.

BUILDING A NAVY.

The Democratic branch of congress
has exhibited all admirable spirit Of pa
triotism in cheerfully voting to the in
coming administration liberal means
for the construction of navy fit to
carry and defend our flag. 1t is also a
matter of pride with Democrats that.
Notwithstanding his official term is near
close. Secretary WHITNEY does not
abate his interest in the upbuilding of
our navy, but is as diligently at work as
if he had perpetual tenure of his
Office in his course of scientific and
practical inquiry into the best methods
of naval construction. Impartial his
tory will give to Secretary WHITNEY's
administration of the navy department
the credit for giving the first impetus
toward a rehabilitation of our naval
power. He has been sustained in this
policy by Mr.. CLEVELAND, and the
Democrats in congress have acted
wisely. as we'll as periodically, in fur
nishing the incoming HARRISON adj
ministration with the facilities for
carrying forward the policy inaugurated
by Mr.. WHITNEY.

MINNEAPOLIS
TWELVE YEARS OLD.
The Celebration of the Anniver-
sary of the Church of Christ.

Sary OF the ChurCh OF Christ.
The twelfth anniversary of the organ
ization of the Society of the Church of
Christ was fittingly celebrated at the
church, on the corner of Eleventh
street and Portland avenue, last even
ing. The pretty little church was well
filled and every one passed most de-
lightful evening. The programme for
the evening was mainly historical
one, the reports pertaining to the
growth and work of the church.
ID. w. Egan opened the exercises of
the evening with a history of the
church, from its inception. Twelve
gentlemen met at the residence of A.
L. Ankeny and decided to organize the
society. This society had grown and
f1ourished until it now had $50 MEM
bers, while the average attendance at
church on Sunday was $50, There are
now several societies connected with
the church, among which are the
Christian Woman's Auxiliary society,
the Young Ladies' society. the La
dies Aid Society, the Society
of Christian Endeavor and the
Sunday school, with an average
of eighty-fve in attendance. Letters
were read from Revs. E. T. c. Bennett,
Enos Campbell and W. Fl. Rogers, for
mer pastors. Reports from the various
societies were read. and the financial
secretary reported that the receipts last
year were $1,000, and the expenditures
$500. Among those WHO took part in
the exercises and helped to make the
evening an enjoyable one were Miss
Edinger, Miss Matte Ankeny, Miss
Chote, Miss HaZeltine. Miss MershOn,
Mrs. Layman. DR.. Denton, Mr.. Ellis,
COrcoran brothers, Miss Peck and Miss
Jewel. At the conclusion of the sing
ing and reports light refreshments were
served, and social time enjoyed.

FLOQUET'S FALL.

In France one sensation follows so
close upon another's heels, the public
scarce had time to recover its breath
from the surprise of -BoULANGER's
great victory in the department of the
Seine until the world is startled by the
announcement of the resignation of the
FLoQUET cabinet. That this event pre-
cipitates crisis in French affairs is
concededly according to the law of politi-
cal philosophy. 1t makes but little diff
ference by what combinations the resig.
nation of the FLoQUET ministry was
forced, for one master hand is traceable
throughout, and the alpha and omega Of
the whole business is the SUI
premacy of BoULANGER in national
affairs. 1t therefore becomes a
matter of interest to recur to
the government, as recently made pub
lie by the successful French agitator.
He proposes that there shall be presi-
dent holding Office for ten years, aided
by council of state, charged with the
preparation Of laws to submit to ma
tional council of 500 members, chosen
one-half by popular vote. and the other
by the provinces they would represent.
In order to popularize this scheme.
BoULANGER announced it as an adapta-
ton Of the American constitution,
when as matter of fact it is as I'M
American and as distinct from our con-
stitution as is the government of the
car. With BoULANGER at the head of
suchag governmental he proposes France
would be less able to resist mon
archical usurpation than when either OF
the NAPoLEoNs was preparing the way
for his empire. With legislative body
without the power to initiate legisla-
ton, and with only the right to sanction
or disapprOve laws submitted by a CEN
tralized authority, the BoULANGER
scheme would be caricature on repub-
lican government. And yet there is
hardly doubt but that this successful
politician, who has been masquerading
as believer in republic of popular
suffrage, will now establish in France a
government containing the very essence
of monarchy. And it is only little ways
ahead in the future when the brilliant
adventurer will lay aside his mask and
wear the crown he covets.

GRAND JURIES.

Among the jury reforms proposed in
the legislature is the dismissal of the
grand jury, as cumbersome and ex-
pensive relic, of the less enlightened
periods. Some states have been expert
menting with the shorter methods. Wis
consin gave the grand jury desuetude
sixteen years ago, and now there is
clamor there for it's restoration. 1t is
said that law-abidlng citizens do not
like the publicity of appearing before
magistrate to enter complaint against
violators of the laws. 1t makes them
target for the yiciously inclined, and
they are endangered thereby. A bill
has now been presented to the Wiscon-
sin legislature requiring a grand jury
in all cases except where the judge is
sues special order to the contrary.
Under the present system 1t is urged
there is great difficulty in making cases
against the dives that have given some
portions of the state such unenviable
notoriety. Witnesses are intimidated,
and often the magistrates stand in with
the toughs. The secrecy of the grand
jury is believed to be needful in such
cases, and it is probable the legislature
will restore the old system.
