James Harker, who tells the Canadian

years, describes the one he is now using

that is, the hives represent the seats,
ana there is an alleyway down the
center / use two rows on each side
The bottom rows of hives sit on the
floor; then half way up is a shelf on
which the others rest The house is
used only in summer il being only one
thickness of stock lumber nailed up

bee entrance cut in it. Up to each en-

bees can get into the house to bother

THE HAMBURG eREEp.
Small Fowls That Have Quite Record
as Egg Producers.

Small Fowls That Have Quite a Record
Egg Producers.
This breed was originally Spanish
one. but was introduced into England
in the fourteenth century by way of
Hamburg; hence the name. A variety
of this breed. known as the Campine. is
highly esteemed in Belgium. The gen.
eral characteristics of these fowls are
rather small size-the cock averaging
from four and a half to five and half
pounds and the hen a pound less
blush legs, white ear-lobes, brilliant
double-rose combs ending in an upward
curve, and ample tail The plumage
is exquisitely marked glossy and very
beautiful; the carriage of the cock is
majestic, and his shape symmetrical.
The breed is too small to be profita-
Bile as table fowl, though considera-
BILE meat is furnished in proportion to
the size of the bird. The Hamburgs
belong to the family of non-setters, and
possess great merit as egg producers
laying most of the year except when
moulting. They are considered partic-
ularly good as winter layers.
There are six principal varieties of
this breed, viz, black, golden penciled,
silver penciled, golden spangled, silver
spangled and white. The black species
is believed to be the result of a cross
with the black Spanish. They are
slightly larger than the other varieties
and breed true to color, which is a rich
glossy black throughout They are also
said to produce larger eggs and more
abundantly, and to be more hardy than
the other Hamburgs
In the golden penciled variety the
ground color of the plumnge is a golden
bay in the hen and much darker
shade in the cock. The hens should
have the body penciled across with
several bars of black, and the haclSle
in both sexes should be free from dark
marks. English red caps are said to
have originated from this variety The
silver peueiled species are a little
larger than the gold, the only other
difference being that the ground color
of the plumage is a silvery white In
the former the black penciling is the
same.
Golden and silver spangled Hamburgs
differ from the penciled in the mark
ings, the parallel bars across the feath-
ers being replaced BY one mark at the
end of each feather which forms the

come, especially when the birds are
grown in large numbers.
These birds originated in China.
They are beautiful, with proud, erect
carriage and pure white plumage
outside. The inside feathers are slight
" cream-colored. The neck is long
and gracefully curved; the head long
and finely shaped, with full, bright
eye: the legs and beak of dark orange.
The minimum weight of my birds
when matured is IA pounds, while the
very heaviest will tip the scales at 20
pounds per pair. Losses from vermin
can easily be avoided by yarding the
little birds at home. Mud and water
are not essential to their growth and
well-being. Is is not necessary TO keep
birds till they are six months old in the
fall and then put them upon the mar
ket when it is sure to be glutted, but
much better to market them at ten
weeks, when they are nearly as heavy
and you ere sure to get more than
double the price, as well as save three
or four months extra feed. There are
many other points connected with this
thing which the novice must ponder
carefully before he begins, as slight
mistake in the beginning often means
a great loss in the end. james Rankin,
