last week This particular girl came from
an old whaling town In Maine three years
ago and she has been in the poets house
hold ever since. She mnde no acquaint-
ancss among the neighbors' girls, and she
had no steady company. In other respects
she was worthy OF the poets coinmenda-

Destructive bugs or worms, whichever

/ consequence, invested in whale oil that
was warranted to kill bugs Mt long range.
AS he sprinkled the bushes with tho whale
oil light breeze carried the odor OF it back
to tho kitchen, where Mary was working.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Poet noticed that

S. J. Freeborn answered as follows ::

honey, then extract the rest. Let the
bees clean up the sections, and then store
them in a dry place, safe from mice, for

Then he extracts from the medium ones

q. w. Demaree said There are two
methods Of management, and only two
by which the unfinished sections can be
handled without loss. The more profit
able of the two plans is to have them
completed by feeding back pure honey,
having the work done by properly pre-
pared colonies. Il you do not have the
skill to conduct this work, the next best
way is to extract the honey from the
section combs, let the bees clean them
and then preserve them for the next
