FARM AND GARDEN.
NOTES FOR BEEKEEPERs.


QUEENLEss bees nearly always build
drone combs.
ONLY good queens should go into
winter quarters.
ITALIAN bees were first imported in
this country in 1859.
DON'T let the bees either starve or
freeze to death this winter
STORES gathered from decaying fruit
In dry season are unhealthy.
IL honey is overheated the color and
transparency will be affected.
MOVING bees, even short distance,
invariably results in the loss of some.
In the majority of cases unhealthy
stores are the cause of the loss of bees.
DURING the winter prepare for the
spring by making and mending the
hives.
Mosr beekeepers prefer the italian to
the black bees, as they are more gentle
to handle.
In moving bees in freezing weather
care must be observed, as the comb be-
comes very brittle.
WHEN bees are to be wintered on
summer stands they ought to be packed
and fixed up early.
IT is said that bee-keeper at Reno,
New, recently shipped $4,000 pounds of
honey to st. Louis.
THIS is the time to plan all the
changes and improvements to be made
| In the apiary next spring.
THE honey of Central and South
America remains liquid longer, as a
rule, than that of North America.
A MAJORITY of the bees that winter
well are kept in temperature of 45 to
| so degrees, with some ventilation.
| In some states efforts have been
made to prohibit spraying at certain
seasons on account of the liability OF
the bees dying from poison.
SPRING dwindling is often caused by
having too many bees to start in the
winter on. They die before spring and
leave the colony weakened in numbers.
The sting of the bee is more painful
while working on buckwheat. This
fact is attributed either to more pow
erful secretion of formic acid or be
cause it is secreted in increased guam
titles.
FAULT is found abroad with eucalypt
us honey, the strong flavor of which
does not please the English taste. The
Australians are likely to be disap
pointed in the market they had hopec
for.
EXPERIMENTS made to determine tn,
comparative value of comb foundation
drawn comb and starters brough
out the fact that those swarms hiveC
on foundation, as rule, stored tn,
most surplus; next came those hived OF
comb, and then those on starters -

WINTER POULTRY HOUSE,

in front and small one on each side,
which makes it very light. An opening
for egress or ingress is at the front, the
door being shown at the side. The
house is eight feet high in front and
five feet at the rear and faces the south.
By the use of two short posts and some
light scantling a covered shed, to be
made of muslin, may be arranged in
front The muslin may be painted
with iinseed-oil to make it water
proof. If preferred, the lower or open
space may also be inclosed by fasten-
ing strip of muslin, one yard wide,
from the side of the house, around the
posts to. the other side, as wind break.
With this contrivance the hens will
have plenty of light and warmth, the
cost being but trihe, and as the hens
will be more comfortable they will
also produce larger number of eggs

FEEDING FOR EGGS.
Nourishing Rations Especially Adapted
for Laying Hens.

TOT Laying mems.
Cooked feed for the morning meal Is
excellent if composed of the proper in
gradients aud fed regularly
A good mixture may be made of
equal parts Of cornmeal, fine mid
dlings, bran, ground oats and ground
meat This should be stirred into a
pot of cooked vegetables while boiling
hot until the mass is as stiff as can be
manipulated by a pair of strong arms.
The mixture should be seasoned with
salt and cayenne pepper.
Potatoes, beets, carrots, turnips. on
ions or anything in the vegetable line,
clean and free from decay, will be ac-
ceptable. Cut clover hay may be sub
stituted for vegetables for an occasional
meal.
The above contains a variety of food
elements and such as compose the egg
and the bone and muscle of the hen,
the fat forming elements not being
prominent
For the noon meal, wheat is the best
single grain. 1t may be mixed with
good heavy oats and scattered in chaff
or leaves on the feeding floor.
The night feed should be light one
and consist of whole corn.
Plenty of grit shoald be accessible at
all times.
Unless the morning feed can be given
very early, we would advise putting a
little dry meal in a hopper for them to
to peck at until their breakfast is
ready.
We have given substantially the same
advice before, but do So again in an

Display of Courage.

palm to something done by young
assistant surgeon of mine, not quite

Enamel Trinkets in Fashion.

Trinkets of colored enamel have come
to stay. In necklets composed of small
pearls the festooned rows are caught
through bead of rich red enamel at
intervals. The newest laced pins are
very quaint. A cockatoo's head is de-
picted in white and colored enamels,
and is a snowy little affair when nest
ling in the folds of black lace. There
is an infinite variety in the devices,
from wildfowl to the domestic cock,
from the blue jay to the miniature par
rot. Not less pretty are the flower
pins, more particularly the harebell
with diamond half concealed within
the petals.-Chicago Tribune.

! Giers and GOurko Are Dying, aud Wannow-
sky Is EroAkinE Down.
Nicholas dc Giers is dying in St. Peters
burg. Joseph Gourko is awaiting his end
in Warsaw. Peter Wannowsky recently
sought to restore his shattered health on
the south shore of the Mediterranean,
but he has returned to bis Russian homo
as he left it, broken down man. Each
of these three remarkable men has been
half a century in the service of his coun-
try. Each has exercised mighty infiu-
ence on Russian politics since the Berlin
congress. Each approaches his grave,
his breast covered with decorations sig
nifying that he has enjoyed to the last
tho full confidence and even the friend
ship of his sovereign.
1t is trite saying in Berlin that Count
Won Room forged the German sword,
Moltke sharpenod it;and Bismarck drew
it from its sheath. In st. Petersburg it
might be said with equal truth that
Wannowsliy forged'the Russian sword,
Gourko sharpened it, and Giers kept it in
its sheath.
Wannowsky has prepared for war,
Gourko has threatened it, and Nicholas
de Giers has avertcdit. On the conti-
nent the statesman without awar policy
is usually condemned to the obscurity of
the virtuous woman. III. de Giers' ef
forts to preserve the peace have been so
evident and so successful, however, that
the ebbing of his life is watched with
the keenest hopes and fears from Paris,
Berlin, Vienna and Rome.
Giers, Gourko and Wslnnowsky are
the last of the celebrated Russians who
survived the Bisnlarclrian period of Eu-
ropean politics. They were contempo-
raries of Gambetta, ,Ms.cMahan. Disraeli,
Gladstone, Moltke. Room, Bismarck,
Benedek and Andrassy. although none
of the three came into his fame until
long after tho nanzes of those men be-
came household words throughout Eu-
