have always had more or less
trouble every season with combs melt

but the cost is considerably more than
whom built from STARTERS"
Some of my hives are exposed to the
sun. and when large swarms are placed
on unwired combs they are very apt to
break down unless we'll ventilated or
shaded. Extracting supers are still
worse. for when the combs are nearly
a very nasty, dauby mess. By giving
thorough ventilation we can overcome
this trouble to 4 great extent. I often
raise the hive about one-ha1f inch from
the bottom board, and also raise the
cover. This gives a direct draft clear
through the hive. Generally, it will
be sufficient to raise the. cover daily.
Sometimes, during heavy wind storms,
they will blow off unless q weight is put
on them. have had colonies get quite
a drenching by the cover getting blown
off; but never could seesthat 1t did them
any injury, as they can quickly dry
themselves.
On a warm day we can always see
quite a number of bees at the entrance,
rapidly moving their wings; evidently
they are trying to create a current OF
air through the hive, perhaps, for two
purposes-to ripen newly gathered hon
ey. and to keep the hive at the proper
temperature.
I have seen statements where the
writer thought they were young bees
testing their wings It may be, but I
think the main object is to ripen honey
and ventilate the hive. They are much
more noticeable in strong colonies
than in weak ones, and the strong ones
generate much more heat. I have my
bees in the shade when convenient, and
also ventilate them.
There is no danger in chilling the
brood, or making the wax too cool for
them to work unless the weather is very
cool. This applies to the honey season
only. when the weather is pretty
warm, and not for spring or fall treat

PICKING THE GEESE.

The When and How Depend Upon the
Feed and Care.
In answer to the query: Chow often
in one season ought geese to be picked?''

situation as follows: They feather out
more quickly where they are permitted
to run on green pasture and have album

Do not pick until laying is over. Geese
cannot be artihcially mo1ting and pro-
ducing strong eggs at the same time.
Never pick them in cold weather.

not ripe. they are soft and bloody. And
this is one of the reasons why store
bought feathers sometimes have such q
disagreed BILE odor. The best guide, ex-
perieuce, tells us to take only small
pinch of feathers in the fingers at q
time. and with . quick downward jerk,
from tail to neck, displace the first
coat of feathers with only a very little
of the second coat, the down. Do not
pick the holsters, those large feathers
under the wings. If you do, the poor
creatures wings will droop contsnu-'
ally. When the goose dies we can
strip these off for filing pillowa for
home use. But never take tbOQ from
the geese while living.

Success in the Dairy.

Many native cows arc really excellent
dairy cows. If they were bred to good
bull, who has come from family
known to be great mixers, their calves
would be valuable and well worth rails

secret of success in the dairy. Breed to
animals whose records are known and
do not take service from any scrub ami

be improved each generation and a good

given to the record of the male, but a

in making a herd or improving one.

years, but, like John Browns body, ito

Morse and Fulton are inseparably asso-
ciated with the telegraph and the
steamboat, and ere long the name of
Bell will be familiar to the schoolboy
as connected with the origin of the
