THOSE CHARITY PARTIES

party, and everything will be disarranged.
That night we will all be awake till well to-
ward morning, and the next day, those who
are not sick will go about snaring and half

Papa" said the eldest, don't you under

poor and that every cent we make will pro-
vide them with some comfort! What you
should do is to encourage us"

When a horse does not appear to
thrive as he should on his food, and
the most careful observation fails to
account for his condition, it is wise to
have his teeth carefully examined, es-
pecially the back jaw teeth or molars.
An irregularity of these is often the
unsupported source of the evil. The
molars occasionally wear irregularly;
sometimes the upper border overlap
ping the external surface of the lower,
while the internal surface of the lower
rises to corresponding height within
the mouth. In such cases sharp points
are found where the wear has been
slightest, and these roughnesses LAGER

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.
Buckwheat 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 il
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

ST. Joseph and shift the load there.
The train had only gone a short dis.
lance when a storm came up so sud.
denly that the rain was falling almost
a, soon as the clouds were noticed.
The geese had been without water for
some hours, and the moment they felt
the rain they were stretching their
necks through the openings between
the Stats and holding their bills open
to catch the drops. Well, got an old
coat and laid it over as many of the
crates as it would cover, so as to save
as many as possible. Then I got a
switch and tried to force the others ia
keep their heads inside the crates
They didn't mind the switch very
much, and had to give each one four
or five good hits before it would pull in
its head, and when 1 started on new
head the old one would pop up again
When we got into st. Joseph It was
still raining, and every goose in the
top crates with the exception of those
under the coat was dead. Whether
they died from drinking too much OF
from drinking while their necks were
IN an unnatural position l do not
know, but every man who has handled
live geese knows that a thirsty goose
in a rainstorm in a crate is as good a,
dead. I've never told of this peculiar
ity about geese without being doubted
but you just ask any poultryman If il
isn't true. IN. Y. Sul.
