how to cure sSunions.

First try easy and comfortable shoes,
and for the sake of pride never cramp
the foot. Use witch hazel or Ponds ex.
tract. Put the foot without shoe or
stocking on an opposite chair, and place
over the bunion a linen cloth drenched
in the liquid. The heat of the bunion
will quickly dry the cloth. Wet it again,
and repeat as long as you can spare the
time to sit quiet. This is also an excel
lent remedy for chilblains.

Winter Feeding.

Winter fcding, or feeding fer winter
stores is very important to attend to
and we would admonish our readers to
examine their stocks and find out
! whether or not some Of them are in
need Of feeding, and if i'll need, to set
about the work ut once.
The Beekcepers Guide recently, in
| an editorial, gives some timely hints
upon the subject.
All the colonies that appear to be
| light for winter should Il feeder Of
syrup given them once Il week until
! the first frost which ends all further
storing of honey. Sometimes the bees
| fly and Seom TO gather honey and
! pollen but there is never any gain in
weight after this time and all brood
rearing stops. Every colony should
now be weighed, and if it contains less
/ than 20 pounds of honey besides weight
of bees and combs and hive, it should
be given one feeder full of each two
pounds it lacks weight of the required
| amount to winter. Give the feed re-
! CURED all at one time, as the quicker
I the feed is stored in the combs the less
shlinkage or waste. DO not try to
! feed a colony after Il frost with one
feeder, because the bees will use arp
about that amount Of feed each d.
they are fed gaining very little.
! Sugar syrup stored around the 5r,
nest is the very best protection because
it is q poor conductor of heat and cold
! TO have an abundance Of stores around
I,n iCs lIn
thing in the preparation of bees for
winter and the first to attend to. The
liberal feeder is the one that wins and
has good thrifty colonies at all times.
No one can afford to let Il light colony
90 into winter quarters now, since
sugar is so cheap. If you cannot af-
ford to feed all, take up the poorest
ones reducing the number of colonies
and the expense Of the sugar bill. 1t
is certainly just as human and GER
! tainly just as profitable, to take
the combs from Il colony Of bees IN
the fall when they are clean and CON
tain some honey than to let them go
into winter quarters short and starye or
freeze to death in mid winter, or die Of
dysentery, leaving the combs filthy,
full Of dead bees and often mouldy.
1t is the attention Of these little things
that makes the difference between
profit and loss in the business. We
shipped some feeders out to Califor-
mans and while making an effort TO
sell, frequently got a reply, we never
feed bees out here, a sort Of reckless
Dragging and glorying in their waste
full system of Bookkeeping, wasteful
because we have frequent reports Of
hundreds of colonies being lost for
want of feed. Instances of where a
barrel Of sugar syrup or extracted
honey would have saved hundred
colonies. With fifteen years experience
with feeders and feeding, it seems to
us that the California bee-keeper who
makes such replies is proud of his
ignorance and waste. We have writ
ten very often Of this subject and have
repeated perhaps quite often because
it is only in this manner. that we can
establish the importance Of good feed
ers and feed for light colonies Of bees.
