NOTES FOR BEEkEEPERs.

Keep the brood in the center of the
hive if possible and the honey on the
outside.
All combs that are built by bees
naturally contain too much drone
comb.
Foul brood is very contagious and
will spread with great rapidity over an
apiary.
Never allow swarm of bees to re-
main long after settling; hive them
as soon as possible.
In the heat of the day, when the air
is full of them on the wing, is the best
time to work with bees, After dark is
the worst time.
In arranging the frames in the hive,
the best and newest combs should be
placed in the brood nest, and not on the
outside, for surplus honey.
Comb honey is easily damaged. The
greatest pests are moths. If they are al
lowed access to comb honey, they will
soon cut the cappings and destroy its
appearance.
Curing honey simply means proper
evaporation of the water it contains.
This is accomplished in the hive by
high degree of temperature, and can be
done outside by maintaining the same
conditions.
Colonies that lack stores for winter
should be fed the required quantity in
the fall and September is the best time
to do it. 1t should be done while it is
yet warm enough to allow the bees to
seal the stores over.
Every colony should have 25 or so
| pounds of good sealed stores to bring
them through to the first of May, with
good winter protection besides. 1t is
| far better to have little too much
stores than too little.
Strong colonies of bees sometimes be-
come suddenly depleted in numbers,
with not enough left to keep up the
necessary warmth to hatch the eggs
| This is because no young bees have
been hatched, and the old ones, super
annuated left the hive in search of food,
and were not able to return.-St. Louis
| Republic.

Wonderful Results from Pink Pills.
Mrs. John TooIoy Relates a Remarkable
Story.


From the Democrat, Chdrleuoir, Mich.
The Democrat has had its attention called
to a remarkable cure, due to the use of DIR.
Williams Pink Pills, and the following
statement made to n reporter of this paper,
will be read with interest by oil similarly
afflicted. Mrs. John Tooley, of Dwight, in
this county, is the lady benefited by the
medicine named, aud she makes the follow
ing statement:
STATE OF MICHIGAN, L.
COUNTY OF CHAKLEvoIx. %
"ln the year 1891 l wis a great sufferer
from extreme nervousness, which finally
developed into an aggravated attack of st.
Vitus dance. My health was very poor and
l suffered terribly for six months, constant
ly growing worse. Finally left home and
went to my relatives in Canada Tor visit,
and my people never expected would re-
turn alive In Canada i was induced to try
DR.. Williams Pink Pills. and the resultwas
truly marvellous. When / began taking
them l weighed but ninety-six pounds, and
In nine weeks time, during which l took
four boxes OF the medicine, Pained so that
| weighed 125 pounds, and the st. Vitus'
dance and all nervousness disappeared. l
returned home in nine weeks, completely
cured and ia the best of health. and have
continued so to this day. Previous to tak-
ing the Pink Pills | had been attended by
several physicians, but with no good re-
suits. | owe my life to Pink Pills, and d'have
friends, and my mother and three brothers
have taken them with good results. my
mother for heart trouble l will be glad TO
answer any and all enquiries as to what
Pink Pills have done for me-
(Signed.) Mrs. John Tooley.
Sworn to and subscribed before me this
End day of July, 1886.
Mrs. Tooley is now the picture of health,
and the Democrat reporter could hardly
realize that she was ut one time so near TO
death. But her testimony is unassailable,
and she is very earnest in her desire to
spread the good news to other sufferers.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills contain, in a
condensed form, all the clements necessary
to give new life and richness TO the blood
and restore shattered nerves. They are
also a specific for troubles peculiar to
females, such as suppressions, irregularities
and all forms of weakness. They build up
the blood, and restore the glow of health to
pale and sallow cheeks. In men they effect
a radical cure in all cases arising from
mental worry, overworlz or excesses OF
whatever nature. Pink Pills are sold in
boxes and may be had of all druggists, or
direct by ma from Dr. Williams Medicine
Company, Schenectady, n. Y.

MARKETING FOWLS.
How to Dress Chickens and Turkeys for
the Chicago Market.

How to Dress Chickens and Turkeys for
the Chicago Market.
Poultry should be kept without food
or water "a hours before killing for
market; full crops injure the appear
Rnce and are liable to sour, and when
this occurs correspondingly lower
prices must be accepted tAan obtaina-
bic for choice stock. Never kill poultry
by wringing the neck. The demands of
various markets vary little in the
manner of dressing poultry, and in
preparing it for market; the custom of
the market to which one is to ship
should be followed.
Chickens for Chicago should be
killed by bleeding in the mouth or
opening the veins of the neck; hang
by the feet until properly bled. Leave
head and feet on; do not remove the
iEtestines nor crop. Scalded chickens
sell best to home trade, and dry picked
best to shippers, so that either manner
of dressing will do if properly done.
For scalding chickens the water
should be as near the boiling point as
possible, without boiling; pick the legs
dry before scalding; hold the fowls by
the head and legs and immerse and lift
up and down three times (if the head
is immersed it turns the color of the
comb and gives the eyes shrunken ap-
pearance, which leads buyers to think
the fowl has been siclS); the feathers
and pin feathers should then be re-
moved Immediately, very cleanly and
without breaking the skin; then
plump" by dipping ten seconds in wa
ter nearly or quite boiling hot, then
Immediately into cold water; hang in
cool place until the animal heat is
entirely out of the body.
To dry pick chickens properly the
| work should be done while the chickens
are bleeding; do not wait and let the
bodies get cold. Dry picking is much
more easily done while the bodies are
warm. Be careful and do not break or
| tear the skin.
In dressing turkeys for Chicago OBJ
serve the same directions as are given
| for preparing chickens, but always drv
Pick. Dry picked turkeys always sell
best and command better prices than
scalded lots, as the appearance is
brighter and more attractive Endeavor
to market all old and heavy gobblers
before January 1, as after holidays the
| demand is for small, fat hen turkeys
only, old toms being sold at discount
to canners.-Farm, Field and Fireside
