Five models Of many famous
pueblos of Arizona and New Mexico
occupy space in the main corridor of
the building. The stone and adobe

deal to {, student of ethnology. The
advancement of the savage to

VENTILATION OF HIVES.

How to Keep the bees In Good Condition
in Winter.
Bees like other living creatures must
have fresh air, the right temperature.
right degree of dryncss and such foods
as nature has provided for them to per-
petuate the numerical strength OF the
hive and to keep then. In good working
order. A writer in the American Bee
Journal says: 1t is instructive to read
and ponder on the various opinions OF
bee-keepers on different topics pertain
ing to the business. 1 would like to
call attention to the matter of vcntlla-
ton in winter. Some advocate bottom,
some top. and others .hink because the
bees in their natural state close up all
ercvices with propolis that ventilation
years ago Il friend of mine got
colony of bees on shares. The box was
about eighteen inches high, and about
twelve by twelve in other Dimensions.
This box was placed on blocks of wood
about one and a half inches high. from
the bench on which it was placed, and
there it stood in summer and winter, in
the same condition for about ten or
twelve years, the colony always being
among the first to swarm in the spring.
Some seven or eight years ago this
same man had three top swarns come
off at the same time, and cluster to-
gether. and nothing but a Lighthouse or
lOX-Oarn I'd nlve UnclI1 IN, bue ne
thought of an old salt barrel, which
he got, and, placing sticks across it, he
hived the bees in it. They filed the
barrel about two-thirds full the first
season, and the next season filled it up.
The following spring a neighbor bought
it, paying twelve dollars for 1t, and l
helped him remove it. There were sew
eral cracks in the barrel that a man
could run his finger in, and we had to
do it up in cloths to keep the bees in.
In both of the above cases the bees
,vintered nicely. l noticed the past

hives were the fewer bees died, and

POULTRY PlCklNGS.

EEAns1A eggs are said to be darkest
in color when the prl1lets commence
laying late in the fall.
SOME of the most successful poultry
men sell the early Matched roosters for
broilers and keep the pullcts for layers.
THERE is no economy in having the
poultry so wild that they cannot be
handled readily at any time that it may
be necessary.
CRY and TO- this reason it is an easy
matter to overfeed, and there is MOTH
ing gained by having them too fat.
IT is a good time now to feed and fat
ten the old hens for market. This can
be done better now than later. There
is no gain in keeping them any longer
than is strictly necessary.
FILTH from allowing the droppings
to accumulate is. perhaps, the most di-
rect cause of disease. There should be
a regular time for cleaning up and it
should be strictly adhered to.
WHILE for some reason it may be a
good plan to bury fowls that die with
contagious disease, the safest plan is to
burn as soon as possible. This destroys
all chance of spreading a disease by
contagion.
WHEN the hens have a good range
they are able to pick up various kinds
of food and SO have supply of all the
clements that go to make up the eggs
that they produce, but when confined
this variety must be supplied.
AS SOON as the weather begins to get
cool a safe rule in feeding, especially
with the laying hens, is to give a warm
feed in the morning and whole corn at
night, giving the latter just before the
fowls fly up on the roosts.-St. Louis

running off in strings in five directions
1t is uninhabited to-day and still
remains rs it stood untold centuries
ago.
A novel feature Of the daily pro-
gramme at the fair Is the playing OF the
chime bells in the tower of Machinery
hall. Visitors from the country who
have never seen the operation of :
chime of bells are AT a loss to under
stand how it is done. Some very
naturally suppose that it is done by
simply pounding upon the bells with .
hammer, but then again that seems q
little improba BILE when they hear some
of their favorite tunes played and with
such correctness as they are executed.
A visit to the east gallery of the hail
will enlighten the uninitiated on chime
ringing.
There tho operator is at work. At
first sight it would seem that he was
engaged in running a double-geared
combination pumping apparatus or in
a spirited contest of human endurance
against machinery. but a few moments
observation will reveal the fact that he
is engaged in playing the tune which
at the moment is rolling through the
corridors of the grand Court of Honor.
Prof. c. e. Bredberg is the operator of
the chimes at the fair and he manipu-
lates the handles of the keyboard in .
the cars OF the tired sightseer
who sits upon the base of some statue,
or any other base that will afford him
q moments rest, are delighted with
some old-time melody as it goes ring
ing across the domes of the beautiful
city of white.
At stated intervals during the day
Prof Bredberg opens his music book to
a familiar tune and places it before
him on his Ginning stand. Then he
commences a series of gymnastics that
give him muscles like blachsnith's.
1t is not nearly SO easy as it looks to
the knot of visitors that always gathers
around the railing when the professor
begins He dances up and down the
line of handles, at times using one
hand and at others both. When he
grasps handle he gives it q vigorous
push downward, and without an in
stant's hesitation goes on to the next.
1t is the big bells that have hardened
Prof. Bredberg's biceps. 1t is no trick
at all to ring the little ones. but the
deep-toned monsters with heavy clap
pers are harder. To ring them an
amount of strength such as the ordinary
man does not possess must be put into
the stroke. There must be certain
amount of delicacy in each stroke, too.

might be in an ordinary instrument,

ticularly difficult. The banks caved and
slipped in together SO that part of them
had to be shovelcd out twice. Then
when / tried to bore down through the
hardpan it was very tedious job. I
got down about three feet and every
thing as dry as could be. and was dis
couraged aud about to give up when I
saw the CLEAN of water. and with
another effort passed clear through the
hardpan into the gravel. The water
rose surprisingly fast, and flowed out
in Il volume that half filled a four-inch
tile. AS soon almost as this stream
started other small streams that were
coming up by the side of the ditch
ceased to run, and now it is all as dry
there as can be desired, although it
would have mired a duck before we be-
gan.
Thoroughness in tile draining is es-
sential. Better not attempt than to
try and half succeed.-J. f.. Wing, in

DISASTROUS DISEASE.

0spes in Fowls.
This disease often destroys whole
broods of young chicks. 1t Is caused BY
threadlike reddish worms that live In
the throat or windpipo of the poultry.
These cling to the walls, sucking tho
blood of the parts. One worn, wilt pro-
duce 1000 to 5000 eggs. The Matching
of the egg occurs only when 1t is kept
constantly moist and at q temperature
of about 6s degrees Fahrenheit. If the
temperature is below so degrees the

their Vitality for year or more, pro-
vided they are kept moist When the
affected fowls cape and choke for

elected worms or eggs are greedily

water containing them is drunk, thus
spreading the disease and in large
hocks producing q veritable epidemic.
Keeping fowls on dry permeable
soil Feed generously, including
chopped onions or garlic occasion
ally. Wash out the water trough or
pan daily with boiling water. If gapes
is present among the fowls, separate
the sick ones, add to each quart OF
drinking water four fluid ounces of a
solution of salicylic acid, made by dis
solving sixteen grains of the dry acid
in four fluid ounces of clear boiled rain
water. The pen in which the sick
fowls are kept should be as dry as pos
sible, and the ground should be sprin-
killed. twice daily with water, to each
quart of which add four fluid ounces OF
commercial sulphuric acid. Where only
a few fowls are affected a bit of cam
pl,or about the size of a grain of wheat
may be forced down the throat of each

One drop of turpentine dropped Into
the throats has given good results.
Powdered asafetida, ten grains per
head, may be fed in a mash of corn

Turpentine rubbed on the outside OF
the throat will sometimes cause the
worms to let go their hold. The use OF
a small feather or hair loop, dipped in
turpentine and thrust down the wind
pipe of the sick fowl, is often effective.
The worms may either be withdrawn
or else coughed out by the chick.-Gsr-

HANDY FEEDING COOP.

How to Prevent the Hens from Eating
the Chicks Nations.
AS the chickens begin to he fed OUT
side the coop, the old fowls are apt to
be on hand and take up all the choicest
bits before the youngsters can get
them. To get around this difficulty I
take some 1 by 3 inch pieces and make
a frame 2 feet high and i feet square.
On this I nail strips crosswise. SO the
coop when finished looks like the ac-
companying illustra ton. This style of
a feeding coop is much preferable to
the ones made with Stats running up
and down, as the chicks cannot get
caught in the spaces. When the chicks
