COMB HONEY IN RESERVE.
A Good supply should Be Held For
Winter and Spring Feeding.

Winter and Spring Feeding.
At the closing up OF the honey season
we usually have number of frames
of comb honey not yet extracted, and 1t
is a good plan to reserve these combs
for putting the bees In goou winter
shape This pays better than feeding
and always makes the bees self sus-
tain.ng, says A. II. Duff in Farm. Field
and Flreside. These combs of honey.
all well ripened and sealed up during
the honey season, are the best and
most healthy winter food, and the bees
are more liable to get a more liberal
supply than II we buy sugar and feed
them.
Not only should we have a good re-
serve of the combs In store for winter
ing, but also for sprngng the bees. In
early spring they answer good pur-
pose also and are so much more con
venient. and at any time through the
winter when we find colony short of
stores we can give them frame or
honey, when in no other way can we
supply them with food at this time ex-
cept we make candy for them. We will
always have our bees In better shape,
and the results from this plan of feed
ing will be a better investment In the
long run than If we sell this honey and
feed sugar instead
These combs may not be completed
and all sealed over, but may only be
partially filled with honey. but are all
right for this purpose In this way, and
by placing them In empty hives and
covering them securely from mice they
can be safely kept for long time. The
best way to store such combs Is to
place them in empty hives, using the
same number of frames as we do when
the bees occupy them. so that the
combs may not touch each other, and
thus stack them up one hive on the top
of another, using an ordinary lid at the
bottom and also one on top, which will
inclose them safely.
All unfinished sections or those part
ly filed may be kept for the same pur-
pose and given the bees during early
spring, when they will clean them out
In most cases before they draw on
their honey in the brood chamber.
Some practice open air feeding with
these unfinished sections by stacking
them up and leaving but a small en-
trance to them.

A Game For nksRiyInE.

A potato race is good game to aid
the digestion of the Thanksgiving din
ner. Take ten good clean potatoes, as
round as possible, two vegetable dishes
and two tablespoons. Place the pota-
toes in two parallel rows Of five each
three feet apart, leaving a broad space
between the rows. Place vegetable
dish at the head of each row Divide
the company into two squads and equip
each leader with spoon. Appoint a
timekeeper to keep tally.
When time is called. each leader darts
down his respective line, the object be-
ing to gather up the potatoes. one at a
time. on the spoon, without touching
item with the hands. and to carry
them to the dish and place them in it.
The one who finishes first wins the
prize, and the next in line gets the
spoon BY the time that all have gone
through the experience considerable
hilarity has developed and all have a
voice In the fun.

THANKSGIVING DAY.
WE SHOULD MAKE OF 1T A SEASON
OF REJOICING.

Our Festival at the Ingathering of
the Fruits Is an Imitation of the
Feast of Tabernacles-Eat of Gods
Bounty and Remember the Poor.
Praise for the goodness of God is
never out of place and never unseason-
able, but it is especially appropriate on
days set apart by official appointment
to notice the mercies which have fol-
lowed us, the blessings which we have
enjoyed, the kind interpretations which
have been made In our behalf, the
bounties which have been bestowed
upon us in order that we may render
again to God for all his benefits with
festive JOY and heartfelt thankfulness.
The establishment of a day of
Thanksgiving In the late autumn, after
the ingathering of the fruits, was made
by the early settlers of New England,
In imitation of the feast of tabernacles
held by the Jewish nation. 1t was
wise and pious act, and Its adoption
by most of the states and at length by
the general government of this broad
land is an evidence of the diffusion of
those religious sentiments which were
at the foundation of the settlement of
this country.
We may welcome this annual thanks
giving today with the added interest
which venerable custom has thrown
around it, with the pleasing memories
which early associations weave about
our former celebrations of it, with the
recollections of absent friends who
have shared 1t with us. the reunion of
families the merry laugh of children,
the pleasure of parents and hail its adj
vent as day of sacred and social joy.
1t should be observed with happy
hearts and cheerful voices, and for
the time at least the sigh of sorrow
should be hushed and the tear Of grief
restrained, while full scope Is given to
all the kindlier emotions of our nature.
Let us crowd into its flying hours the
pleasant memories of the past the hap
piness of the present and the falrest
prospects of the future and make 1t
bright and giadsome day.
Let us ma e it. so far as we can, a
udy VI BIdtei III itJoiSiHSi anu NhhS VIC
partake freely of the bounties of the
year, give loose rein to the sweet sym
pathies of humanity and dispense with
a liberal hand and a benevolent spirit
to those that have need, so that the
voice of gladness may be heard in
every dwelling. In imitation of the
time honored custom of our fathers
and in obedience to the language Of
Scripture, let us ''eat the fat and drink
the sweet and send portions to them
for whom nothing is prepared"
