WINTER BEE DISEASE.
How to Manage Colonies Which Ma ,
BE Afflicted with It.

How to Manage Colonies Which May
BE Afflicted with 1t.
One of the causes of dysentery, as the
winter bee disease is usually termed, is
disturbing them in cold weather. In
fact, it is often the case that disturbing
them in very cold weather is the most
disastrous thing that could be done,
as it causes dysentery to appear among
the bees in its worst form. For this
reason no one should be allowed to go
among the hives in very cold weather
any more than is strictly necessary to
properly look after them. Nor should
stock be allowed to run among them
during the winter for fear of disturbing
them.
The disease may also appear when
the bees are closely confined for long
time, or when they are compelled to live
upon impure honey. Many good bee
keepers claim that honey from cider
mills, decayed fruit and honey dew is
not healthy food.
If the winter is an open one, so that
the bees can fly out often, they will live
on this kind of honey without injury
But If the weather is so cold and stormy
that the bees are kept closely confined
the poor food tells, and dysentery is al.
most certain to make its appearance
among them; and n colony badly affiict.
ed will often be hard to cure.
One of the best things that can be
done--in fact about the only thing that
will be of any benefits to give then
a purifying fight. Let them have g
chance for a flight the first bright warn
day that comes.
Feeding candy is, to some extent
beneficial. But the best and safect
plan is to prevent, Give good winter
food, good sealed honey That gathered
during the first of the season is Away,
best. Bees will bear confinement or
good honey and keep healthy much
longer than on bad. 1t is easier to pre-
vent the disease by supplying healthy
conditions than to cure after the dis
ease once makes its appearance.-St
Louis Republic.

AMONG THE POULTRY.

Keep the chickens and their quarters
clean.
Having high perches often causes
humble foot.
Supply raw bone, either crushed or
in the form of meal.
With laying hens wheat may be the
principal grain food.
So far as is possible the food should
be varied every few days.
Push the Matching. The early Matched
pullets make the best winter layers.
Tobacco stems or leaves placed in the
nests will aid in keeping them free
from vermin.
Observe which hens are the best lay
ers and breed from them. Such traits
are hereditary.
With large breeds one cock to every 10
hens is sufficient; with small breeds
one to every 1S hens.
Give the fowls all the range and ex-
ercise that the weather will permit from
this time on until spring.
When eggs from a distance arc re-
ceiyed for Matching, let them remain
"a hours before putting them under the
hen.
Fowls that are closely confined and
are fed largely on highly concentrated
food, are often affected with cramp of
the legs.
In selecting breeding turh IS, as a
rule, broad-backed, full breasted and
large-boned fowls will give the best re
sults.-St. Louis Republic.

DISMAL FAILURES.

The attempt Of Mr.. Mcguire to raise
q railroad issue in this campaign has
dismally failed. AS a means of obscur-
ing his isms and his cranky notions it
has proved TO be a farce. The people
have not been deceived in the slightest
degree, and the. attempt TO keep the
single tax and the odd notions Of the
fusionist candidate in the background
have really resulted in making them
more prominent.
But neither of these ignominious
failures are to be compared with the
greater failure of assailing the Admin
istration and seeking to move the peo-
pie to a vote of want of confidence in
the President and his advisers in the
Government The sick-soldier plea, and
the alleged inhumanity and neglect
charged 10 the Administration in case
OF soldiers, have, under the light of
truth, proved to be mere scarecrows
The people have discovered that it is
surprising our men did not suffer more
than they did. They have found that
never in the annals of history has a
nation so quickly modified an army,
and with such haste sent raw troops
into action in climes to which they were
unaccustomed, and under conditions SO
terribly trying.
The good sense of the people can be
trusted, a fact which the fusionists
have discounted to their heavy cost.
The people of California are now fully
awake to the meaning their votes will
have week after next, in a national
sense. They realize that a verdict il
favor of the fusionists would be ac-
cepted as a rebuke of the President
who, it is conceded, has been wise and
discreet in the management of the war
and it's aftermath, beyond even the ex-
peetations of his closest friends. His
case is another exemplihcation of the
truth that the strength of no man Is
known until 1t is tried in the fire oi
pressing necessity, and the open door
of opportunity.
