NOTES FOR BEEKEEPERs.

Allow no stock of any kind to run in
the apiary during the winter.
Windbreaks around the beehiyes dur
ing the winter are very beneficial.
Do not allow hives of bees to stand
on high benches; set them down close
t the ground.
Do not feed bees at night. Tt throws
them off their guard, interferes with
their regular routine of work and ii
generally detrimental
If the weather is too cold for the bees
to come out, and they must hefed, feed
in the hives and try to keep all covered
up as warm as possible.
Topreyent robbing close the entrance
so as to give passage for only single
bee at time. This is effective il the
bees will defend themselves.
70 make the most out of keeping bees
there must be the best bees, the best
hives and all modern appliances A man
must also have a liking for the business.
If he is not willing to spend the time
on the bees that they require for their
proper management, he had better let
them alone. st. Louis Republic.
St. Landry clarion. (Opelousas, La.) 1890-1921, 1896-01-25
The RipenIng OF Honey.

Many beekeepers have gone to con,
siderable trouble to provide solar evap.
Grating tanks and other means TO ripen
their honey, and. while it may be neces.
sary in certain localities and with some
kinds of honey, the average beekeeper
will find that if he will provide plenty
of combs the bees will ripen and seal
the honey under the cheapest and best
possible conditions, and if extracted
and run into vessels that can be covered
tightly, SO that it cannot absorb mois.
ture from the atmosphere 1t will re-
tain the flavor and aroma that is SO
highly priced in comb honey. Honey
procured under these conditions will
create a market for itself If properly
put up and brought to the notice of the
consumer.

Pasturing Winner Wheat.

The subject of pasturing winter
wheat has received some attention al
the Kansas experiment station. The
conclusion is arrived at that pasturing
is always an injury to the wheat. The
extent of the injury will vary with
the character and condition of the soil
a comparison of plats pastured with
those not pastured amounted to III
bushels per acre. The theory that pas
turing wheat fields infested by the Hes
sian fly is a benefit is thoroughly ex.
ploded. The pupa of the fly is entirely
out of reach of the cattle, being lodged
between the sheaths at the base of the
young stems below the surface of the
ground. Pasturing such fields can only
weaken the plants and leave them al
the mercy of the fy.-F farmers Review.

Winter Gardens.

The garden outdoors is often desc
late looking place in winter. The last
years growth of fresh wood has made
the shrubs bulky and the dead wood
that ought to have been trimmed away
is left till spring. It is simple mat.
ter to make the front yard look neat
and inviting, even when it is covered
by winter SHOWS. IL the shrubs that
need trimming are trimmed and those
that need special protection are
wrapped up in straw or laid unde,
earth and the entire yard shows the
thoughtfulness of good caretaker,
the yard will proclaim at once the tasts
of its proprietors Even the winters
snow seems to wrap itself with more
grace over the well-cared-for shrub

as follows: Eight feet long. ii inches
deep, and IL inches wide, then divided it
into eight nests, with one side of the
box six inches high, SO that when it
was covered they had eight inches left
to enter the nest; then set them one
foot from the floor. In there it was
dark, the space covered by a Iido over the
box to remove the eggs. In this Sc
cluded spot they would deposit their
eggs, and only one hen could occupy
each nest, and she hadn't room or light
enough to do much damage. This was
