AMONG THE POULTRY.

1T is our opinion that you will have a
better potato crop next season II some
of those seed potatoes" you are saving

the winter.
lF the water dish is kept in the hen

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 Dor
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 il no more can be provided.

A Turks Piano.

The late Leopold de Meyer, of Ores
den, brilliant and popular pianist in
his day. was once summoned to play
before the sultan at Constantinople,
Going thither, he borrowed grand
piano from one of the Austrian secre-
aries of legation, and had it set up in
a large reception room at the palace.
There he awaited the coming of the
sultan: but when that intelligent
monarch entered the room he started
back in alarm, and demanded of his at

had TO be taken off, and the body Of
the instrument laid fat on the floor;
and Leopold de Meyer squatting cross
legged on a mat, went through his pro-
gramme as best he could in that awk-
ward attitude and without pedals.
But the commander of the faithful
was delighted, and. when the last piece
was played. gave the artist over thou

HILL S DEVICE.

have MADE very excellent ones out OF
the slaves of old barrels that have
failed down, by cutting n 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 cheap and excellent
device for securing an open passage
fover the frames, whenever the bees de-
Asire 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 filled 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 a 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
small tunnel into the air through an
opening in the outer case. 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 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 overlooking with bees at
the opening of the honey flow. This
rs successful wintering, and when it is
accomplished our labors will be
crowned with abundant success. Will

FARM AND GARDEN.
WINTERING THE BEES.


To Do 1t Successfully Is the Great Point
in agriculture.
Many hives are lost during a 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 a 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, it is called Hills De-
vice" 1t is simply placed upon the top
of the frames, and secures an open pas

When the flock is to be improved by
procuring males from elsewhere. the
farmer should so arrange his yards as
to know what to expect. II he turns
the newly acquired male out to become
a member of the flock. where there may
be other males. his object may not be
attained. The proper plan to pursue
is to select the best hens in the flock,
about one dozen, and place them in a
yard with the selected male in the
spring, about month before the time
for Matching the chicks arrives 1t will
do no harm TO allow all OF the hens to
be together during the winter, pro-

THE SHEEP BUSINESS.
Valuable Hints for Those Who Think Of
Engaging In 1t.

Valuable Hints for Those Who Think Of
Engaging In 1t.
Prof. Craig has given some valuable
pointers to those who are about to en-
ter the sheep business. First: Study
your farm conditions and learn exact
ly what sheep will thrive best upon it
Seconds: If you are not able to purchase
even a small fiock of pure bred or high
graded sheep then put all you can adj
vantageously in pure bred ram and
after that do the best you can in buy
ing ewes. Start right even if upon 4
small scale. The sheep will rapidly in
crease. Third: In purchasing a ram
get one fully developed, strong in bone,
straight shaped and thoroughly typical
of his breed and sex, Fourth; Do not
purchase sheep that you have to trust
in for proper development 1t is only
the experienced breeder who can fore
cast development. Fifth; Never take
an ill-doing sheep, even if it is cheap,
with the expectation that it will be-
come all right. Sixth: In selecting
sheep If possible handle them so that
you may know how much of their form
the shears seventh: Select as critical
ly as you can to chosen type. Uni
formity is n cheap feature for you to
buy and yet valuable one in flock.
Eighth: There is no sheep that en-
bodies perfection in sheep qualities.
Judging between different sheep is a
checking of weaknesses and bal
ancing of qualities. Be inclined to-
wards the sheep that appears to be
better every time 1t catches your eye.
Ninth: The purchaser will find it to
his interests to select from field sheep
and thereby shun those that have been
fitted for show. Tenth: The best time
to buy is usually in the fall Provision
may be made with the seller to have
the ewes served by ram of different
breeding from the one you buy and
thereby you add another seasons use
to the ram of your flock.
