have MADE very excellent ones out OF
the slaves of old barrels that have
failed down, by cutting u 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 bulged side upper
most we have a cheap and excellent
device for securing an open passage
over the frames, whenever the bees de-
sire to change their position.
1t is well to have all feeding done be-
fore cold weather sets in. Whatever
feeding has to be done, do it at once,
and let the bees have time to seal it
over. 1t will then be under their inn
mediate control and management,
which will be wise and economical.
Put chaff cushions over the frames as
large as the tops of the hives will al
low. These are made out of coffee
sacks and filed with wheat chaff. The
chaff acts as an absorbent, 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 cushion, it will
pay to make an outside case for the en-
tire hive out of store box or light
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 a
small tunnel into the air through an
opening in the outer case, correspond
ing to the entrance to the hive.
Such 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 well need not despair
in making success of bees and 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 overfowing with bees at
the opening of the honey flow. This
Is successful wintering, and when it is
! accomplished our labors will be
crowned with abundant success.-Wil-
liam Ballantine, in American Farmer.

AMONG THE POULTRY.

1T 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 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 a little too
fresh for the good of those hens that
are compelled. for lack of better shell
ter, to roost in them.
If your henhousc is small, its bor-
ders may be enlarged so as to give a
summing place for the hens this winter
by building shed. A north side and q
roof will do if no more can be provided.
Take some poles, make frame and
bank up and cover with straw and the
deed is done.

Make an Acre Double Its Crop.

Instead of cultivating too much land
the true system of successful farming
is to make an acre double Its crop. To
do so the manure and fertilizer should
not be spread over a large surface. 1t
does not pay to give Il plant only half
enough for it's support, but rather tc
give it all that it needs, as will be the
case when small plot receives the
manure. Economy of labor aud less
ening of the cost in fertilizers, as well
MS larger profits from an acre, will ther
be assured

WAR "REMINISCENCES.
FATE OF THE INpIANoLA.

Ludicrous Incident on tho Mississippi
During the Late War.
The confederates did not gain much
by their capture of the Indianola. Her
fate was one of the most ludicrous
events of the war. She was patched
up so that she would float and then
taken to Wnrrentown, a village eight
miles below Viclssburg. There the
confederates went quickly to work re-
pairing her, intending, with that splen-
did steamer added to the Queen of the
West, to enter upon a brilliant career
of river victories
But these hopes were destined to dis
appointment, and at that in most un-
heard-of manner.
The sailors in the federal fleet above
rVicksburg planned to play a trick on
the confederates in Vlcksburg no6
thinking of anything but joke. So
they took an old coal barge which they
had found floating down the river, and
in few hours piled up timbers on her
sides to make her look like one of their
gunboats Pork barrels were piled on
top of each other for smolSestaclSs, and
two old canoes were used for quarter
boats. The furnaces were built of
mud, and only intended to make black
smoke and not steam.
One dark night slow burning, smudgy
fires were built in the mud furnaces,
and the queer craft was showed out into

FARM AND GARDEN.
WINTERINo THE BEES.
To Do 1t Successfully Is the Great Poins
in ApIculturo.

To Do It Successfully Is the Great Poins
in Apiculturc.
Many hives are lost during o long
spell of hard freezing by getting sep
arated from their supplies. The clus-'
ter being located in the center, SO long
as the bees can reach their stores they
will survive all right But, having ex-
hausted all within the reach of the
cluster, they will perish, though abund-
ance of food be in the remote combs.
To avoid this, we have cut inch holes,
with sharp knife, in the center of all
the combs, to render them more ac-
cessible to the bees. When left to
themselves to construct their own
combs, following their unerring in.
stinct they will leave passages, render
ing all their combs accessible. This is
all prevented by the use of full sheets
of foundation, which cause the bees to
build them solid; hence, the necessity
of making artificial holes in these
combs to correspond to the natural
passageways of the bees. Another de-
vice to secure the same thing was in
vented by Mr.. Hill, and, from the name
of the inventor lis called Hills De-
vice." 1t is simply placed upon the top
of the frames, and secures an open pas
sage from one to the other. The fol-
lowing cut will enable anyone to under
stand its nature and construct it. We

into n sitting posture Accordingly on
the night before it's burial il was
stretched out at full length upon q
board resting upon two wooden trestles
with its head and feet tied down by
ropes.
Old Uncle 81 insisted upon watching
the remains of his dead friend. Short
ly after midnight he became very
thirsty and stepped out to neighbor-
ing suffers to procure drink. During
his somewhat protracted absence two
large cats found their way into the
tent containing the remains of poor old
Jack, and when Uncle 81 returned he
was naturally indignant ut seeing
these felincs sitting on the corpse-one
at the head, the other at the feet.
Selling n billet of wood from the
round, he aimed powerful blow with
it at the pussy sitting at the head 1t
missed its mark and struck and severed
