CURIOUS PETS FOR WOMEN.

Some minds are strikingly original,
even in the choice of pets. Certainly
this was the case with the wife OF a
gentleman farmer who made pet of a
pig. The animal lost its mother early.
and the lady, taking pity on the little
orphan, bore it of to the kitchen,
where she succeeded by the aid OF a
feeding bottle, in rearing it.

Stimulative feeding often reduces

Rye meal is good material to give bees

Improper care during the honey season

While clipping of queens may not i'm

Colonies destitute of honey should be
fed literally and regularly until they can
gather honey from flowers.
There is nothing else that will help to
enlarge the honey crop so rapidly as q
good supply of empty combs.
Never open the hive to excite the bees
when it is too cold for them to fly. The
best time to remove surplus or arrange
good brood frames is after two or three
days of good honey weather.

honey at this season, feeding candy made

Eggs are most easily digested when the
whites and yolks are thoroughly mixed
before cooking, as in custards. scrambled

The best way to keep boiled mush from
