able place in which to work, could
often be saved. Indeed, workshop on
the farm is a Lecessity-an essential
part of the farm machinery-and in
case convenient spot is at hand the
general farmer can do nothing better
than erect a building similar to the
one shown in the accompanying Illus
tration.
As can be seen, it is located against

ter is not easily. as far as warmth goes,
to be surpassed. The second floor is
for storing various agricultural tools
and implements, from the hand to the
wheel rake, and from the ordinary
sickle to the moving machine and
reaper, while one corner-preferabl
on the sunny Side--is partitioned off
into workshop. Being equipped with
a work bench and heating apparatus,
the farmer herein can pass many a
stormy day, no matter what the sea-
son of the year is, constructing berry
and vegetable crates, mending harness
or doing whatever tinkering work is
required on the farm or in the house
An extensive set of tools is not re-

ticable ones VIII suffice. such as vari-

be done. Paint and varnish should also
be in stock, for then, not to mention
any article which has been made, the
harrows, plowy, cultivators, and, in
fact, all agricultural implements from
which the pain has worn off may on

time be brushed over, and so prevent

there is no dirt about the house or
other buildings while the tools, if not
carried away, are always in their
place. The truth is, combining two
buildings thus into one serves two
highly desirable purposes-there is
only one roof called for to cover both

lower floor exceptionally warm quar-

NOTES FOR BEEKEEPERS.

Old comb usually thickens with use.
Empty frames OF comb should be well
taken care of when not in use.
Colonies that are short of stores for
winter should be fed during Septem-
Der.
Most colonies, if rightly managed,
will build down to the bottom of Sec
tions.
If necessary to melt honey, melt it
slowly. If melted rapidly it will be
spoiled.
The best way of keeping empty
combs is to store them in boxes that are
mice proof.
By keeping bees in a good, thrifty
condition at this time robbing may be
prevented.
BeeswaX is a valuable product. Every
particle of comb should be rendered
into wax.
Buclwheat may be sown as late as
the first week in August, and will fur
nish considerable honey.
The objection to using rosin to fasten
foundations in the frames is that it
will spoil the wax later on.
There is often a considerable diff
ference in the amount of brood in diff
ferent colonies, and consequently in
the amount of honey left in their brood

Demand for Fat Lambs.

Prof. Henry saSs, in Feeds and Feed
ing, the demand for well-fattened
lambs steadily increases, the tender
juicy meat finding favor among Amer
leans. Not only do prices for fat
lambs rule high as compared with ma
ture sheep and farm animals general
ly, but there are other advantages in
favor of feeding of lambs before they
reach maturity. A given weight OF
feed goes further with the lambs than
mature sheep; the money invested is
sooner returned, and there is less risk
from death and accident. Thus every
thing tends toward hurrying lambs to
market as rapidly as they can be fat,
tened and as early as they can be dis.
