Winter Care of Poultry.

No one who does not take an inter-
est in poultry can expect many eggs in
cold weather or when the ground is
covered with snow. My experience is
keeping the roosting place clean, good
shelter and a varied diet. To promote
laying, feed alternately wheat. buck
wheat, oats, scalded bran sometimes
seasoned with pepper and occasionally
a little corn. Onions chopped fins and
mixed with their food will promote
health, also scraps from the table; and
thick, sour milk placed where they
can get it is also relished. Where milk
is not at hand keep clean water within
their reach. Crushed oyster shell and
gravel and a dust bath are necessary.
With this treatment hens will pay well
in winter.-Mrs. E. Bates, in Epitom-

St. Jacobs Oil for Chest-CoIds, Bron-
chitfs, Group and PIeurisy.


An outward application for bronchial diff.
fculties is many times far more effective
than syrups, cough mixtures, cod liver oil.
&C., simply because it penetrates through
to the direct cause, which is, as a rule, an
accumulation of matter or growth tightly
adhering to the bronchial tubes.
St. Jacobs Oil, possessing as it does those
wonderful penetrating powers, enables it
to loosen these adhesions and to induce free
expectoration. Cases have been known
where expectorations lave been examined
after st. Jacobs Oil has been applied, and
the exact formation was clearly shown,
where the adhesions had been removed or
pulled off the bronchial tubes. All irrita-
ton of the delicate mucous membrane of
the bronchae is quickly removed by the
healing and soothing properties of st. ia
cobs Oil. In cases of Group and whoop.
ing cough in children st. Jacobs Oil will be
found superior to any other remedy.
st. Jacobs Oil is for sale throughout the
world. 1t is clean to use-not at all greasy
or oily, as its name might imply. For rheu-
matism, govt, s~ciatica, neuralgia, cramp,
pleurisy, lumbago, sore throat, bronchitis,
soreness, stiffness, bruises, toothache, head.
ache, backache, feetache, pains in the chest,
pains in the back, pains in the shoulders,
pains in the limbs, and all bodily aches and
pains it has no equal. 1t acts like magic.
Safe, sure, and never failing.

why a Horse Eat. often.

The horse can conveniently eat fol
20 hours out of the "a. A horse which
is in good health has a good appetite
at all times and is able to stand plen-
ty of work and is rarely IN the sick
list. To be a good feeder, especial
ly on a journey, is a great recon-
mendation in the opinion of every
good Judge of horsefesh. The rea-
son of a horse being such a constant
eater is that its stomach is really
small in proportion to the size of its
body, and therefore it requires feed
ing often, not less than four times
a day, two of which should be early
in the morning and at night, while
hay should in the stall be always
within its reach.-London Tit-Bits

plain, one-foot-square boxes, six
inches deep, and scattered about the
floor, but not under the roosts. The
door has a fixed step a DOT high,
and hence does not open on the level
of the outdoor step. The floor should
consist of earth raised six inches
above the level of the surface outside
by means of broken stone which, en-
closed as they are by the foundation
wall a foot high, will tend to keep it
practically dry, provided there is good
drainage underneath and the location
itself is not too wet. There may be
a good yard in front fenced with
wire netting, but this is not strictly
necessary albeit very convenient at
times.
The dimensions of the building may
be varied, of course, to accommodate
the number of hens kept, one 1Sxs
feet being sufficient for so fowls. The
windows in all cases should be made
to open by lowering the upper half,
as is shown in the picture, and who'll
ly protected on the inside by wore
gauze. Ventilation is thus secured in
a simple manner, and in summer the
sashes can be removed, leaving only
the wire gauze.
The roosts should be made in a
frame hinged to the back of the
house, and rest at the front on posts;
they car then be raised for the pur-
pose of cleaning out from under
them. The front of this house should
always face to the south.-Fred D

VARIETIES OF BEES.
Those Most i'm Favor I'm This Country
Are the C~yprians, Italians and
West Indians.

The Cyprians are the greatest honey
gatherers on record. Their honey has
a watery appearance, which is caused
by the cells being filed so full that the
Gaping rests on the honey. They are
easily offended and cannot be subdued
without using a great quantity OF
smoke. The ~Cyprians are rejected on
account of these faults by those who
produce comb honey. Their symmetry
and bright colors render them things
of beauty, if not a joy forever.
Italian bees were first introduced
into the United States direct from
Italy, early in 1860, by a purchasing
agent of the commissioner of agricul-
ture. They are liked better than other
races, which, though better honey
gatherers, are not as easily subdued
and handled. I think their golden yell
low color has much to do with their
popularity. Italian bees do not winter
as well in a cold climate as the COM
mon black or brown bees, but they de.
fend their hives better against moth
and other robber bees, and are more
energetic in gathering honey.
The smallest bees known are natives
of the West Indies. They build in the
open air, fastening a single comb to
the branch of a small tree or shrub.
This comb is no larger than a mans
hand and is very fragile and delicate.
There are 100 worker cells to the
square inch of surface. The tiny work
ers' bodies are longer than house flies
and more slender. They are blue
black in colo with part of the ab-
domen a bright orange. These dimin-
utive bees gather very little surplus
honey, therefore their cultivation
would not be proftable.-Farm Jour.
nal.
