Hints on winding Up the Season'h
Affairs I'm the Apiary and Dispo-
sitiOn of the Hives.

November should be spent in winding
up the affairs of the apiary. All hive
parts which have been used during the
summer should, before being stored for
winter, be scraped clean of Jumps or
ridges of wax and propohs. Especially
should the combs not in use be sorted,
and the exposed parts of their frames
scraped before storing. While doing
this quite lot of beeswaX can be kept
separate from the propolis and saved.
We divide combs into three classes:
First, brood combs; second, extracting
combs, and, third, combs to be melted
up. Brood combs may have few
drone cells in one lower corner, but
otherwise must be all workers, be
straight and contain very little pollen
2. Combs used for extracting may be
partly or wholly of drone comb, bu:
should contain ne pollen. If a CONT
would belong to this class except for
patches of pollen, cut them out and let
the bees fill up the holes next summer
with new comb.
In class 3 are the ones rejected from
and 2; combs heavy with pollen, old,

TWENTY-FOUR O'CLOCK.
A housekeeping System That IL
Strongly Urged by the
Railroads.

According to a decree recently issued
in Spain the hours will be there
counted, after January 1, from one to
twenty-four each day, beginning at
midnight. The government offices, the
telegraph, telephone, railroad and
steamship lines have been directed to
observe the new method. On this con-
tinent it may already be seen in the
timetables of the Canadian Pacific
railroad, says the Youths Companion.
This change has long been urged
in this country. Some years go, when
the railroads brought about the pres
ent system of standard time" or, as
it used to be called, railroad time"
they desired to inaugurate the "a
hour scheme, too. The change was too
radical to be popular, and rather than
imperil the success of the other part
of the programme, the railroads aban-
doned it. Timetables are now usual
ly printed with the afternoon hours
in heavy type, and morning hours in
light, and this device eliminates much
confusion.
If one had nothing to do but to trav-
ell by rail and study timetables, the
proposed change would be eminently
desirable; but for SO of every 100 acts
and appointments outside OF those
connected with the railroads, there is
no confusion arising from the present
system. When we read that lecture
is to begin at eight o'clock, no one
thinks it is to begin in the morning;
and if Mary Minis should write to
say that she will drive over at II
o'clock, almost anyone would expect
to see her in the forenoon, even If she
did not add ga. M"
In astronomical observatories the
24-hour system is already in use, ex-
cept that in them the day begins at
noon instead of midnight.

POULTRY YARD MANURE.
II Is of InestImabIe Value to ANY
Farmer Who VIII Save and
Utilize 1t Nationally.

One of the best and most available
manures is that which our poultry
supplies. First of all, it costs no
ready money and is an article of value
to any farmer who will utilize 1t.
How to save, mix and use this manure
has been a study with scores OF farm
ers during the past few years. In
nearly every farmers yard are to be
seen from 100 to 200 fowls, and often
they have no proper shelter, and the
droppings are lost. Often no thought
is given to gathering the manure for
fertilizing purposes, and in the spring
the owner will pay from $50 to S75
per ton for guano, while the poultry
manure that goes to waste on his
own farm is almost equally rich in
plant food and even better than some
brands of socalled pure" guano.
Poultry manure has the most value
when kept in the dry; its value is
largely dependent upon the kind OF
food which the fowls deposit. AS
a rule the poultry is given richer food
than any other farm stock. Wheat,
rye, corn, also scraps from the table
add to their fare; hence their drop
pings must possess considerable fer
tilizing value. We keep the poultry
together in the hennery as much as
possible. The floor is kept dry, be-
ing covered weekly with ashes OBJ
tanned at planning mill at a cost OF
,16 cents per bushel. Regular every
week it is removed and stored in
dry place, snoveled over and enough
absorbent added to keep from heat
ing. 1t is astonishing how much ac-
cumulates II we wish to drill the
manure il is sifted; otherwise it is APP
piled from the wagon directly. II
farmers who keep poultry and let the
manure go to waste would try this
plan they would save enough the FIST
year in fertilizer bills to build a poul-
try house and fence yard for their
private fertilizer factory.-Chicago

King Oscar Was His Host.

A story illustrating the simple bon
monte of the king of Sweden and Nor
way is told by NJ. CASTOR BONNER, the
5otanist. NJ. BONNER was botanizing
near Stockholm, when he met stran-
ger similarly occupied. The two
Ootanists fraternized and NJ. BONNER
suggested that they should lunch to-
gether at an inn.
NO; come home and lunch with me
instead" said the stranger; and he led
the way to the palace and opened the
gate.
NJ. BONNER was naturally astonished,
but his new acquaintance was most
apologetic.
I'm sorry" he said, "but 1 happen
to be the king of this country, and this
IS the only place I've got to entertain
anybody in" So they went in and
lunched, and talked botany together all

CANADIAN WAX PRESS.

crooked and unfinished combs. These
are cut out of their frames and melted
up. Where two or three rows of cells
next the top bar are good worker cells,
leave them in the frame as a starter for
the new comb next season. These use
less combs, and all odd bits of wax, may
be melted and purified into nice bright
cakes of commercial beeswax.
First put them into rather long
narrow box, and pour cold water over
them to clean them as far as possible
of pollen and whatever else the water
viii carry off. Chop them fine with
spade, and scrape to one end Of the box,
which has been raised higher'than the
other to allow the pollen water to drain
off. Change the water often for two
or three days until the mass is thor.
oughly soaked and washed. Then put
1t into a cauldron kettle, with enough
water to float it nicely. The kettle
should be in an arch, which prevents
the fire coming higher up the sides than
the level of the contents, else the wax
may burn at the edges. When the mass
has boiled well for a few minutes, press
out the pure wax.
To do this you need bag of burlap,
such as binder Irvine is shipped in,
about 10x1S inches, with two loops at
the top TO hold it open by when pouring
in the hot wax. The press is made of
two strong boards, l inch X ks feet;
laid one on the other, and strongly
hinged together at one end, the other
ends being trimmed down for handles.
Sharpen a board and drive it into the
ground beside the kettle for the press
TO rest on, and another for the end OF
the lower handle. Let an assistant hold
the bag open while you dip it about
three-fourths full from the surface of
the kettle with a dipper, then lay it in
the press with the open end folded un.
der. Strips of wood three-eighths-inch
square and one-fourth-inch apart are
nailed across the lower jaw of the press
where the bag rests on it. Under the
pressa tin box about 20 inches each way
has been set to catch the wax as it runs
out. Press by putting your weight
on the upper lever; shift the bag, and
press again. This may be repeated un.
til the beeswax is practically all out.
Empty out the refuse which remains in
the bag, refill from the kettle and press
again. Repeat the operation until
nothing remains in the kettle but hot
water. Now wrap the box in old quilts
or anything to hold the heat and cause
it to cool very slowly, to allow any
dross which may still remain to settle
to the bottom of the wax. If it remains
liquid for several hours before forming
a cake, the under side will be found
coated with a dark substance, which
should be scraped off before selling the
wax.
Be sure to choose a still, mild day for
melting up old combs. With cold wind
it is almost impossible to get the wax
pressed before it freezes" all over the
