WINTER PROTECTION.
bees Must BE Kept Dry and Warm
and Supplied with an Album
dance of Honey,

Bees in winter must be kept dry and
warm. Honey is their firewood as
well as their food. The colder they
get, the more honey they will eat.
Protection is cheaper than honey.
These frosty mornings send the un-
protected swarms to the fuel pile. If
you have chaff cushions, put them on
at once. If you can do nothing else,
get old boxes and turn them upside
down over the hives. This will keep
off the wind, snow and rain and be a
great help. Be sure to keep the fly
hole open, for they need pure air.
Several winters ago a great many
KEGS died in this section. TO ascertain
the cause 1 visited a number of large
apiaries. 1 found dead swarms only
in hives that had moisture in them.
This got in either by the hive being in
contact with the ground, or by frost,
caused by snow banking against the
hive. / went home and built a bee
house in which I packed the hives in
sawdust, since which L have never had
a case of winterkill and never expect
it. 1T is as cruel to freeze and starve
to death these little friends of ours as
other larger creatures.-W. L. Ander-
SOD, in Farm and Home.

AMONG THE PoULTRY

Hay generates vermin more readily
than straw.
Especially from this time on if the
hens are crowded, disease is almost
certain to appear.
Eggs in process of incubation in hot,
dry weather should be sprinkled with
tepid water occasionally.
Raw corn meal should not be fed to
small chicks. If it must be given, mix
it with one-third shorts and bake.
BY sticking to one breed and select
ing carefully you can build up a strain
that will sell well and give satisfac-
ton.
In breeding and raising poultry, es-
pecially for market, size must always
be considered, as fowls are sold by
weight.
May apple root pounded fine and put
in the drinking water is recommended
as a good remedy for cholera among
poultry.
For Matching duck eggs, hens, in
many cases, are preferable to ducks,
and they make better and more care.
full mothers.
Be sure to keep the feeding coops as
well as those to confine the hen with
her young brood on dry ground; damp
ness is injurious.-Farmers Voice.

Stats. The eggs r gathered from
the hallway, and there is no need to
go into the coops except to clean the
droppings board, renew the litter,
etc. 1t is a good plan to hang cloth
curtains in front of the opening of
each nest box, leaving a V-shaped
slat in each curtain to admit enough
light to the boxes to invite the hen
to enter, but not enough to make it
uncomfortable for the hen or to in
duce egg eating. A hen likes a dark
ened and secluded place in which to
lay eggs, and will begin to lay earlier
in the season and will actually lay
more eggs in such a place than in an
open nest that is exposed to the
light and to every passer-by.-Poul-
try Keeper.

THE HOLE IN WIRE.

anchored. Bore a hole through each
post near the top, run one wire
through these holes from end to end
of the rack, and another outside the
holes. They should be stretched
loosely at first, as they must be
twisted. This must be done all along
the line at once, lest some of the
posts be drawn out of place. A num-
Der of men can twist them tightly
by means of sticks about six feet
apart, successive sticks being turned
in opposite directions. The wires
should be twisted until they are firm
enough to resist untwisting when
they ought to be drawn tight if done
properly. When done the holes left
by the sticks in twisting will serve
as rings for the hitching straps.-A.

Unless Plenty of Thought Is Given to
the Poultry Business Success
Is Doubtful.

The poultry. business requires but
little capital to start, but like all
other business brought to successful
I results, requires an intelligent appf-
cation of thought. Too much money
placed in extra quarters for fowls or
for fancy birds, too much corraling of
too many kinds, all requiring extra
care, extra feed and extra quarters,
lessons the profits to the average
poultry raiser.
My experience is that the most
profit comes from the sale of eggs.
Secure one or a cross of two kinds
of the best egg-producing breeds,
give them their freedom to go where
they will, and with a proper amount
Of energy and observation success is
assured. Location and market facil-
tiles make a great difference in final
results. Three neighbors began
poultry raising, one with a dozen or
more kinds, prepared quarters for
each kind and kept them separate,

pared to profit.
The other two neighbors started
with the best reproducing breeds,
gave them the run of the farm, pro-
vided plenty of nests, food, shelter
and water. Results, best success of
anything on the farm, compared to
the capital invested and time spent.
In the care of chickens, be very care

the rank of Steinitz and Lasker and
%Showalter and Pillsbury.
The latter has just done a feat of
chess playing that to me seems al
most incredible. Against him were
pitted 80 members of the Brooklyn
High School Chess club-boys, of
course, but some of them capable of
putting up a stiff game. Pillsbury
was blindfolded. He was led from
board to board in turn, making his
move promptly and entirely from
memory. Each boy had time to lay
plans while Pillsbury was making 20
other moves. The expert won 90 of
the games. Of course it's no great
feat to beat a boy at chess; the diff
Guilty is to remember 80 games at
once, not one move of which one can
see.
Chess is not a ~favorite game at
girls colleges. There is invariably
basket ball, usually some running, al
ways gymnasium athletics, and at
Wellesley rowing is a large part of
the outdoor work. I think every
mans college in the east has a chess
club.

If the prejudice against goat meat

the aversion to goat meat is not

Money in Diversified Crops.

Agricultural experiments in the
middle west for a series of years prove
that diversified farming pays best.
When the farmer plants but one thing
and it fails, his work for the year is
practically lost. Fortunately this is
not often the case, for farmers as a
rule raise such a variety of products
that the loss of one is not a calamity.
A farmer should study his conditions
carefully and plant those things best
adapted to his soil. Whatever pays
best should be given the most space and
the best care.-Chicago Daily Sun.

the girl OF a generation ago did not think of doing. They have given

did not know.
For another thing, the man Of to-day is not the man OF a gener-

souled sharer OF his sports, and not the feeble, dollhouse plant who
must be spoken to only in whispers, and who must be shielded from
every chilling blast Of winter and shower of summer. The girl Of
to-day can stand quite as much of hardship and fatigue a he can,
and resents any imputation to the contrary.
Many another reason might be named for this passing of the
chaperone, but of them all there is one great reason.
SOCIETY, the society that represents the upper and middle
classes OF humanity, HAS OUTGROWN IT'S PRUDISHNESS. It
IS no longer counted a crime for a girl to accompany a gentleman
friend to the theater unacconpanied by a chaperone. Society no
longer hnds food TOR gossip in every conversation between a young
gentleman and lady that is not listened to by a chaperone. THE
CHAPERONE AND THE PRUDE PASSED TOGETHER, and
