SOME TIMELY HINTS.

Observe Them. II You Want Eggs During
the Winter Months.
l. Get the hens into healthy growing
condition, shrinking, if necessary, to
remove surplus fat, or adding to, if
poor. In the first instance, feed only
on cooked vegetables and oats or bran;
in the latter give more corn. :"
2. Make the ration one rich in egg
materials. Let certain per cent. of
animal food, meat scraps, meat, meal, or
food of this nature be given daily. One
pint to q pailful of cooked food is
enough. -
3. Feed. to promote health rather than
destroy, and 1>lnper the quantity. A
wooden pail full of cooked vegetables,
or cooked clover, with two quarts of
mixed ground grain worked we'll into
the mass, is breakfast enough for 30
hens. Reduce rather than exceed this,
the sole object being to satisfy the
claims of hunger and promote activity.
Let the night ration be not more than
one quart of mixed grain (whole) to
II hens, be so scattered about the chatf,
leaves, straw or earth, that only ker-
mel will be found at time. This means
that the hens will scratch busily until
dark, and this it is which promotes
egg building. In the coolest weather,
fill the crops just at night with corn.
for the same reason that you fill the
stove with coal-to keep warm.
4. Three or four times a week feed,
cooked or chopped clover with ground
grain in the morning mash.
Clover, animal meat, meal or scraps,
wheat, vegetables and oats, if fed as
indicated to hens having comfortable
pens, will insure steady egg production.

Saved from . Lion by . Pillow.

An English officer was shooting re-
Gently in Somaliland. One night. when
he was in bed inside his tent, lion
sprang over the rough thorn fence.
which it is usual to throw up round
ones encampment at night. Instead
of picking up one of the men or ami
mails that must have been lying about
asleep inside the fence. he would have
none but the sportsman himself, made
a dash into his tent. and seized him
fortunately only by one hand. Then,
by some wonderful piece Of luck. as the
lion changed his grip for the shoulder,
he grabbed the pillow instead, and 80
vanished with his prize. The pillow
was found next morning several hun.
dred yards distant in the jungle, and
outside were also the spoor Of l!oness,
who had evidently been awaiting the
return of her lord with something eat.

NOTES FOR BEEKEEPERS.

It is the bees reared in the fall that
we have mainly to depend upon during
the winter and spring.
Each colony should have frame or
two of brood, for it is the bees Matched
in the fall that survive the winter.
The objection to leaving honey in the
combs late in the fall is that it is apt to
become dark in color.
If bees are to be wintered in cellars,
care must be taken to have them dry, as
dampness induces disease. +
More bees are lost on account of bad
food or none at all than from all other
causes combined, especially in winter.
There is no factor in wintering bees
that is SO important as the matter Of
food, and it is one that is often neg
lected.
It is often the case that there is more
or less robbing while feeding in the fall
and it is an almost certain indication
that something is wrong.
All colonies in good condition at this
time should have a portion of brood in
the combs, and if this is not the case
something is wrong with the queen. =
Quietude is one of the essentials in
successfully wintering bees, whether in
or out of doors. Never disturb them ex-
cept when strictly necessary.
One way of making n nice entrance
during the winter to the hives of bees is
to spread sawdust over considerable
surface in front of the hive and filing
up level to the entrance.
Mice are very fond of honey and will
soon clean out a colony. Before winter
begins, it will be good plan to fix up
the hives so that it will be impossible
for mice to get Inst. Louis Republic.

There Must Be q Division.

The cry is nowadays: Give us the
good, all round animal" The Country
Gentleman thinks there is an element
of error in this. Carry out this idea to
an extreme, and you blot out the dis
tinctive characteristics of every breed
of animals existing. As in the ,necllan-
ical, so in the animal world-there must
be q division of labor. We owe all the
improvement Of the present day in all
classes Of domestic live stock to special
breeding for definite purpose. Let
the breeder of the race horse try to
combine the strength of the Clydeslale
or Shire with the speed of his thorough
bred, and the result is an increase of
strength, but reduction Of speed.

Combustion Of Csllulold.

A German scientist attacks nebular
belief by asserting that celluloid is
ignited only by an open flame and that,
therefore, there is no more reason to
be afraid of tho inflammability of cell
luloid articles than the infammability,
for instance, of muslin dress. The
story OF the celluloid billiard ball which
was ignited by contact with burning
cigar lying on the rim OF the billiard
table, and which in it's turn set atlre the
billiard cloth. he declares untrue, be-
cause impossible. If the burning end
of a cigar is held closely against cell
luloid billiard ball, the latter melts at
tho point Of contact and vapors arise,
but the heat il not sufficient to ignite
these vapors.

How to Fat ZEN Turkeva.

Turkeys will not fatten if confined in
close coops, as they pine if deprived OF
liberty, but if several turkeys are con-
fined together in small yard for ten
days they can be made quite fat in that
length of time. Feed three times day
as much as they will eat, giving corn
meal, ground oats, middlings and
ground meal, equal parts by weight,
scalded, morning and noon, and wheat
and corn at night. Keep head of cab
bage in the yard. also sharp gravel,
ground charcoal and fresh water. a
few turkeys can be fed with chickena
if preferred. It is not necessary to
force themit TO eat.

rrees Are the Farmers Friends

Farmers seem to give very little st-
tention to forestry, and great tracts Of
timber are cut without regard to tho
future. Now that we have had a severe
drought in some sections, while other
sections have been dry in previous years.
it is time to consider the cause, which
il claimed to be the destruction of tho
trees. If there is an inducement to cut
timber because it brings 4 high price,
it will be at the cost of droushts and
losses in the future.

referred to are Chamberlain's Cough

for rheumatism, lame back, pains in
the side and chest. and Chamberlain s,
