BUYING PURE BREEDS.
spect Comma n d Prices That Seem
EXtortionate.

II you desire birds that will enable
you to compete at fairs, do not ex-
pect to buy them at a small price.
II you wish to breed frst-class exhi-
bition stock next season, do not be
afraid of the expense. 1t costs time,
money and skill to breed up flocks
to high average, and the prices
usually asked are always extortion-
ate. If you are not particular about
exhibiting, and desire some strong.
vigorous birds that have no faults ex-
cept a twist Of the comb or some
slight defect, for crossing ON common
stock, let tho breeder know it when
you write and he will try to accom-
modate you. Remember, no breeder
generally has two birds at the same
price. They are sold according to
quality. Therefore, be particular to
describe your wants, and do not ex-
pect the breeder to know your de-
sires. A fair hatch from 13 eggs IL
seven-or one over half-though some
are satisfied with five. No breeder
can guarantee every egg TO hatch.
He knows no more about them than
the buyer, but he should endeavor to
send eggs from vigorous stock. A
customer would be fortunate il he
got a pair Of first-class standard
birds from a sitting Of eggs. Some
breeders do not get such pair from
a dozen sittings. The customer is
responsible for the hen that sits on
the eggs, and her management while
on the nest. Some customers do not
know good birds when they see them.
and often complain ignorantly. The
breeder must depend on any state
ment sent him. without being able
to verify or deny it. Before com
planning ask yourself at what price
you will sell the chicks should you
receive an order for them. and make
a comparison between their value
and their cost.-Farm and Fireside.

LEAVE THEM ALONE.


With the exception of taking hives
OF bees to cellar for the winter, bees
should not be moved during the win.
ter. Their location must not Le
changed from fall to spring, either
short or long distances. The most
damaging change made is to change
for short distance, as for instanc,
a few rods. Bees will not follow their
hive for even q few feet away, unless
there are no other hives of bees near.
II there are hives near, the bees will
enter the nearest one, and in most
cases are promptly killed by the Wis
tied colony. This is frequently done.
and the result is that the colony is
greatly weakened by the change.
During late fall, winter and early
spring, the hives contain the leas,
number of bees, and if a change is
made at any Of these times, it endan.
gers the loss Of the colony by decreas-
ing the numbers so low, for nearly
all the old bees will 60 back to Their
former location. On this account it is
much safer to move long distances,
not less than . mile, and farther is
better. When thus taken entirely
away from their former travels they
mark q new location and all return
to it. A colony of bees may be taken
safely and without loss anywhere, If
the hive is moved few feet each day
the bees fly, providing no other hive
is very near them, and they will thus
follow the hive to any required spot
we wish them to occupy. But It is
necessary that they take full fight
after each removal. and thus mark
the last location. If no other hive is
near, they may be moved farther at
time, when they are liable to follow
the hive.
This trouble will occur at any time
OF the year in moving bees. 1t may
lessen the number that fail to return,
il we close the hive and confine the
bees in it for a day or two, and then
smoke them before letting them out.
When thus filled with honey, they
will to some extent mark the new
location and return to their own hive.

THE HENS IN WINTER.

Do not let laying hens eat snow.
4 good night feed is parched corn fed
hot.
A large flock crowded in a small
place will not do well.
A warm feed in the morning will put
hens in shape for days work.
Plenty Of warm water is as benefi.
cial to laying hens as to mich cows.
Cold winds and draughts will cause
roup. Keep the house dry and close.
Keep plenty Of cabbages, beets and
other vegetables where the fowls can
pick at them at any time.
For frosted comb rub on a mixture OF
two parts of glycerin and one part of
turpentine. A few hours later apply
sweet oil. This treatment will usually
