under control. The only justification for

that nearly 1000 out 5000 prescriptions be

NEW ARTIFICIAL FUEL.

Produced by tho Admixture Of Whita
Powder with Coal Dust.
Additional tests of a satisfactory
character have been made of new
artificial fuel produced by the admix-
ture OF d white dry powder with coal
dust in certain proportions. Pitch is
the combining medium almost uni
versally employed for utilizing coal
waste, but it involves certain practic-
al objections in storage and use
which, it is claimed, are overcome by
the new process. The composition ct
the powder employed in this case Is
not made known, but it is said to con-
sist of two natural substances, both OF
which are plentiful and inexpensive,

influences whatever upon the boiler

compared with anthracite coal, the
blocks made of this material are of de-
clded value when used in q boiler fur

total horse power developed by the
boiler with the anthracite coal in it's

HILLS DEVICE:

have made very excellent ones out of
tho slaves of old barrels that have
failed down. by cutting piece from
each end of the stave, and using the
bulged part BY mailing several of
these together and placing them on the
frames, with the bnlged side upper

device for securing an open passage
over the frames, whenever the bees de-
sire to change their position.
1t is we'll to have all feeding done be-
fore cold weather sets in. Whatever

which will be wise and economical.
Put chaff cushions over the frames as
large as the tops of the hives will al

caaff acts an abso bent, and will
prevent the accumulation of moisture
in the hive, besides retaining the ami
NAL heat OF the bees.
When the size of the hive will pre-
vent the use of such q cushion; it will
pay to make an outside case for the en-
boards, and, having set the hive proper
within it, pack the space between the
walls with chaff, making provision for
the bees to pass through this space by n
small tunnel into the air through an
opening in the outer cnse. correspond
ing to the entrance to the hive.
Such a device. when properly de-
Tended from rain and mice, will be of
invaluable advantage to the bees, in
keeping up uniformity of temperature
during the long, cold, freezing spells of
gloomy winter.
Wintering bees safely is the great
point in successful agriculture. Those
who can do this we'll need not despair
in making q success of bees aid honey.
AS this has been and still is the dead
point of the business, nearly all failures
have been here. BY successful winter
ing we not only mean the preservation
of the life of our bees until the return
of spring, but also that they shall be
sufficiently numerous to pass the sew
eral trials Of spring in safety, and have
their hives overlooking with bees at
the opening of the honey flow. This
is successful wintcring, and when it is
accomplished our labors will be
crowned with abundant SUCCESSFULLY

AMONG THE POULTRY.

IT is our opinion that you will have a
better potato crop next season if some
of those ''seed potatoes you are saving
are boiled and fed to the hens during
the winter.
If you have any thought of improv-
ing your hock-infusing new blood into
it-now is the best time to do it. Good
young cockerels can be bought for less
money now than in the spring.
If the water dish is kept in the hen
house have one that does not leak.
Some houses are made damp by the
amount of water that leaks out of the
drinking vessel. Dry quarters are
needed to give health and vigor to
poultry.
WE believe in fresh air for poultry,
but it seems to us that the cold and
melancholy winds that play around the
tree tops just now must be little too
fresh for the good of those hens that
are compelled. for lack of better shell
ter, to roost in them.
IF your henhouse is small, its bor-
ders may be enlarged SO as to give a
summing place for the hens this winter
by building a shed. A north side and a
roof will do if no more can be provided.
Take some poles, make a frame and
bank up and cover with straw and tho
deed is done.
