articles: show what "A Day With the President

Each of the articles will be profusely illustrated. An
other series equally fascinating is the one called

be revived those wonderful times when Louis Kos

Notes for Beekeepers.

Every beekeeper should have a
swarming box.
Do not put the bees in the cellar
until cold weather.
Wherever horticulturist can make
a living bee man can also.
There are three classes of worker
bees--house bees, WAX workers and
honey gatherers.
The first bees of a queens laying will
hatch out IN twenty one days.
In breeding bees the main points de
sired are usefulness and color.
Natural queens are those raised by
the bees u.der natural swarming i'm
pulses.
Natural queens can in no way be
produced except under the swarming
impulse.
Any queen cell after being sealed
over can be heated with artificial heat.
Queens raised artlficially are con.
sidered as good as those raised from
natural cells.
II the colony is weak and the brood
chamber not at all full, there is no use
putting in section boxes.

Among the Poultry.


Bone meal will help to prevent leg

Crude carbolic acid is good disin.
fectant.
Ifyou need a new poultry house now
is the time to build it.
If you get an incubator at all, get it
early.
Feed the laying hens largely on
wheat at this time.
If the fowls are free from lice they
will lay better.
Hens will not lay we'll In winter, I'M
le4s kept comfortably warm.
Where eggs are the chief object, the
non setting breeds should be kept.
If they have been kept growing.
March pullets will usually lay in DC.
tober.
Two and three year old hens make
the most reliable sitters and the best
mothers.
1t is poor economy to let the chickens
crowd too closely in the nests.
Now is good time to burn sulphur
in the house and then whitewash.
Healthy, thrifty fowls are nearly
always early risers; hence early feeding
is best.
Boiled oats mixed with corn meal is
an excellent egg producer.
Hens will not eat their eggs if given
plenty of broken bones ard oyster
shells.
The best kind of charcoal tor poultry
is corn roasted until it is dark brown.
Hens should never be kept so fat
that they will not exercise or forage
A chicken that is continually chilled
rarely amounts to much because its
vitality is used up.
Usually hen ceases to lay when i'm
properly fed, or when in a diseased
condition.
If young stock is used for feeding II
should be from the earliest Matched.
Color is essential with market poul.
try only when it Injuries the looks Of
dressed fowls.
In many cases it is better to kill
few sick hens than to run the risk o.
injecting the whole flock.
One Of the best ways of feeding bones
is to pound them up In small pieces sc
that the fowls can swallow them.
Mate your fowls two or three weeks
before the time when the eggs will BE-
needed for incubation.
If the eggs are kept in a cool plac'
and are turned half over once every day
they can be kept for hatching month

will not worry so much for liberty.

select large hens, but the rooster shoule
be active and vigorous.
II the hens can be made to scratch fol-
their grain, they will keep 10 BETTE
health, have better appetites and lay
more eggs.

A few weeks ago the editor was taken
with very severe cold that caused him to
be in most miserable condition. 1t was
undoubtedly bad case of Ia grippe and
recognizing it as dangerous he took imme.
date steps to bring about speedy cure.
From the advertisement of Chamberlain
Cough Remedy and the many good recon-
menda,ions included therein, we concluded
to make first trial OF the medicine. To
say that it was satisfactory In it's results, is
putting it very mildly, indeed. 1t acted
like magic and the result was a speedy and
permanent cure. We have no hesitancy

just the information needed on this sub

HOW THE GOLD Is MINED

located, through having been on several
geological expeditions to the region In
Alaska. adjoining the gold district, and
says that in his opinion the reports from
there probably are not exaggerated. In
an interview published In the Boston
Journal he says

THE yellow metal Is not found in pay

the small streams which cut through the
mountains on either side. These prac-
ticaly wash out the gold. The mud and
mineral matter Is carried into the main
river while the gold is lief, on the rough
bottoms Of those side streams. In most
cases the gold lies at the bottom OF
thick gravel deposits. The gold is COW
