A Wonderful Offer to Women.

We have received word of q most remark.
able offer which is to be made TO women bv
The Deiineator, of New York.
Taking the fact that next year begins a
aew century, The Delineator offers 10 dstr
butte $l7,500 among 1901 women. The plan
is so cleverly arranged that woman living in
8 small town or village, has just a. good A
chance to win one of these 1901 prizes % a
woman living in q city-because the prizes
are given for the number of subscriptions
secured in town in proportion TO the popu-
lation Of that town, instead Of being given
simply to those who send the largest list Of
ubscribers-which, Of course are most easily
obtained in big cities. Another clever feature
of the plan is that ell the cities and towns Of
the United States and Canada have been ar
ranged in seven classes. The cities Of the
greatest population are grouped in Glass l.,
and AZ these cities arc not very many, the
prizes offered are twenty eight; the high.
est prize being $500, and the lowest S.. 90.
The total amount Of prizes given away in this
class is 81, 300. The rem aiming smaller towns
and villages fall into six other classes, and as
the number of towns in class increases, be-
cause, OF course, there are more small towns
than large Ones, the amount Of prizes given
AWAY TO a class increases, so that in Glass I,
there will be $4,000 distributed among col
winners.
Furthermore, to everyone who fails 70 win
one of the 1901 prizes there will b paid an
extrs commission on subscriptions, provided
they equal oae out of every two hundred in.
habit,nts of Tie town from which the con.
tesr,nt SENDS them.
This is altogether q very liberal offer, and
enc which the famous old Delineatoy is well
able TO make good from our point Of view,
we do not see why such an offer needs to be
made by the Publishers of The Deiineatov for
we believe it already has nearly half million
subscribers It's strong hold upon the afec-
tons Of American women has come in the
past generation, from its practical advice
about drass details aud home matters.

and this may be done by allowing
plenty of room in the hive by add
ing sections. During warm days
in the Winter the bees may be
tempted to come out, on which
occasions they clean the hives of
dead bees and perform any neces-
sary work for their comfort. The
hive should be sheltered, but the
locality should not be too warm.

To Preserve Butter.

The following will be found an
excellent way to preserve butter
so as to keep fresh: Salt butter
as usual; work all the milk out l
work mine twice.. To one teacup
salt add one-half cup white sugar
and one teaspoonful salt peter.
This quantity will be sufficient for
two or three gallons of butter.
Have your jar wet. Sprinkle a
layer of above mixture in bottom
of jar. Have potato masher wet.
Mash Tor press) butter in tight.
Have layers about an inch thick
after pressed in. Then sprinkle
the mixture over butter, and so on
until the jar is full. Then over
top with mixture. l have kept
butter this way until May, and it
was better than the grass butter.
The butter will come out in layers,
and when taken out for use pour
cold water over it to remove the
preserving qualities. Use less
sugar if preferred.-MRs. A. R.
ALLISON.

Bees live but a short time, the
average life of a worker being

to lay hundreds of eggs daily, as
