FARM AND GARDEN



Entrances to hives in winter have
been 9 subject of much discussion.
Ny experience is that the entrance to
hives should all be contracted In win
ter. I do notsthink that strong col
onies require large entrances IN win.
ter, and I shonld have all entrances
contracted up to but q small opening.
I think it better if it can conveniently
be done, to close all entrances up en-
tirsly during very cold weather. The
greatest objection to this is that we
are liable to forget to open them on
warm days when the bees should be
out flying.
While I am q firm believer in small
entrances in winter, I am as firmly in
favor of q very large one in summer.
Hence l do not believe we can have q
sumine entrance that will answer for
winter. To winter we'll and keep in
the best condition, bees should have
frequent flights. II left in the sum-
mel hives without the protection of
chat hives they require more frequent
flights then if protected in chat hives.
They remain much longer in chat
hives where the temperature is more
even without becoming in any way in
need of q flight, as they feed more
lightly on the honey and will bear
confinement longer.
Bees consume more honey in thin
hives TO keep up their natural heat
and the effects of heavy feeding thus
necessitates more frequent flights.
When bees are carefully examined
and placed in good shape just ct the
beginning Of winter. it is scarcely
necessary to again examine them
much before the month of February,
and not latter than the first of March,
the time being governed by the
weather. March is the timo that
many become short of stores and the
hives need cleaning. Much dirt and
filth accumnlates in the hives, and it
is only the strongest colonies that can
thoroughly remove it, and we should
not depend upon them to accomplish
this, but clean them all ont during
6ne days when the bees are ont on
the wing.--A. II. Duff, in Farm,
Field and Preside.

winter Care Of Calves and Colts.

.A0 0AO
Colts and calves often go into winter
quarters plump and healthy but by
the time pastures come again they are
gaunt and poor. For this state Of af-
fairs the farmers themselves are large
y to blame, writes L. D. Shook in
American Horticulturist. The change
from pasture to dry feed is q radical
one and many who are short of fodder
let the young stock try to get q living
ont of the straw stack. If the straw is
Of the best kind, clean and bright and
the weather mild, stock would Just
about hold their own, but too often
straw is not ~palatablc, weather cold
and damp, requiring considerable food
to keep up the animal heat. If any
growth is maintained m extra amount
Of food is necessary.
If health and growth are kept up both
warm shelter and good food are neces-
sary. At low estimate it will require
ten bushels of good corn meal or it's
equivalent in other grains to add 100
pounds of flesh to q colt or calf be-
tween December / and May 1, and
this in addition to enough good hay
Dr. other palatablc fodder to sustain q
normal growth, aud even this amount
is less than four quarts of meal per
day. It is best to commence with q
quart of meal twice per day and grad
nally increase it, as they become ac-
customed to it and cold weather in
a However, while there 10 a
true farmers pride in having all farm
stock look fat and sleek, yet with all
young stock the first winter is most
important. IF you can turn them out
to spring pasture in q good healthy
growing condition. they will make a
most rapid and satisfactory growth
from the start, shed their hair quickly
and not require q month or six weeks
6 again commence growing, as is the
Ease when they have been poorly fed
during the winter. No one should at
Tempt to keep more young stock than
,an be maintained in q fine growing
condition. It would be the part Of
economy to sell off the surplus rather
than be obliged to economize or
shorten the supply of food.

Farm Horses cost More.

Those farmers who have put OF buyine
the necessary horselesh until spring have
learned that they win be compelled to pay
considerable more than they did even last
fall. Dealers who have been buying In
the West find they must pay much higher
prices than those OF last winter. At q sale
In Gloucester County a few days ag o
twenty-five head cost the dealer 500 more
than the same number a year ago, and
bidders must make up the difference. At
this sale twenty horses averaged $135. The
same may be said of Cattle Good COWS
are bringing from S55 to So per head. a
year ago the prices were $40 and $50.
