HELPING WEAK COLONIES.
How to Do Away with One of the
Direct Causes of the SO-CalIed
spring Dyyindling.

When the fall flow of nectar is light
the bees dicontinue brood rearing
early, and consequently go into winter
quarters very light in number, and
rather old to insure successful winter
ing. This is one of the direct causes
of the so-called spring dwindIing. 1t
must be prevented by late brooding.
Those who leave their bees to starve
in a poor season are not deserving of
honey in good one.
To obtain the best results from our
bees they should be fed to stimulate
brood rearing, so that our colonies
will be very strong at fruit bloom.
To do this we must begin to feed as
early as the weather will permit the
bees to fly at least once a week. Some
mild day soon after removing them
from the cellar, all colonies should
be closed on what combs they will
cover with sufficient stores to last
two or three weeks, placing the I'M
occupied combs in the outside of the
follower.
When feeding time arrives prepare
your feed, either a poor grade of
honey, maple sirup. or better still
graduated sugar, which should be
about the consistency of newly gath
cred honey. If sugar is used the pro
portion is equal parts of sugar and
water. 1t may be fed without heat
ing, but | prefer to bring it to scald
and to put il in the combs and feed
while milk warm Take the combs
to be used, uncapping what honey
they contain, and fill the empty por-
tion with the sirup. Rest the comb
over the tank in slanting position
with the top bar up and dip the sirup
on it with dipper having perforated
bottom. Place one comb next to the
cluster once week. removing the one
given last. Orange Judd Farmer.

SELL NEAR AT HOME.
No netter Advice Can Be Given TO
Anyone Raising Fowls and Egg
for Money.

Sell your eggs and poultry near the
home, and in the end better profits
will be realized. 1t is astonishing how
much the home markets are neglected
in this respect The summer hotels
in-the country and the winter hotels
in the south frequently get all their
supplies from some large city, even
their poultry andeggs. 1 have asked
a number of proprietors the reason
for such an anomaly. Twas astonished
at the reply. In few words they said
that they could not rely on the home
supply of eggs or poultry. They would
be willing to pay little more than
the market rates for either, but the
farmers had become so accustomed to
sending their produce to the cities that
they were slow in adopting any other
course. They would some days bring
in plenty of eggs, and then for week
nothing more would be heard OF them.
This irregularity could not be en-
dured.
Yet, as another instance of just the
opposite, there is an enterprising
young woman who has a poultry farm
not far from a summer resort. She
has contracted to deliver ten dozen
eggs a day through the summer season
to the hotels at uniform price of %
cents a dozen The eggs are all fresh,
and she is to be relied upon. The ho-
tells would even take more from her,
oud rba 20 mo him affOrtc = ~ aDlorcra
her plant She says she is making
more money with her summer eggs
than with her winter products. Her
ambition is to enlarge her poultry
farm so she can supply the hotels with
spring broilers and tender chickens
all through the summer season. Her
income then will be entirely satisfac-
tory.
But even in ordinary towns and VIII
lagos there are always plenty of fam
lilies who are willing to buy their eggs
fresh every few days from some near
by poultry farm. The prices obtained
in this way win be far more remuner-
atiye than those paid in some distant
city. In the sumemr time fully 40
per cent. of the eggs shipped so miles
or more are partially or wholly ruined
by hot weather. The loss sustained
in this way is enormous, and the farm
ers are the ones to endure it. BY all
means the remedy is to cultivate the
nearby markets. Do not try to ship
eggs to New York, Philadelphia or
. l.. -.

kets which viii pay you better.-An-

knowledge, he took the letter with
him to the village some distance
away. There he persuaded a friend
~ storekeeper TO read it for him.
1t was indeed as he had read for him
self; Tom was dead,
Tatton dumbly thanked the man,
took the sheet of paper and silently
left the place. Out into the woods
he made his way, towards the Old
Fort swamp. Once there, he seated
himself on log, one that had served
the purpose before, and bit by bit
went over the information he had
received. 1t was woefully brief and
insufficient in its details. Tom. had
become involved in a quarrel with
one Ben Jenkins over hog. One
word led to another, each pulled his
gun. and in the fusillade that fol-
lowed Tom fell with a bullet through
his head. Jenkins gave himself up to
the authorities, was tried and acquit-
ted Ele had killed Tom in self-de-
tense. That was all there was to it.

A Low
Country Feud
Copyright, 1901, by Authors syndicate.)

TT ALTON had come from a state far
Their north. He had been in the
low-country for years; but these had
not served to entirely eradicate the
traditions and the inborn teachings Of
his home state. Wild, uneducated
untutored, he was a savage still.
He had brother. Younger, less
wild. and weaker, this brotherappealed
strangely to his love and to his pro-
lection. When Tatton came to the
low-country his brother had remained
behind. For months he did not hear
from him. At length he received
word from friend. For the moment
he was stunned and could not under
stand the reality. Tom, so the friend
wrote, had become involved in a quar-
rel with a man in the section-one
with whom Tatton was well acquaint-
ed-and in the course of the personal
encounter that ensued he was shot
and lailled.
After much labor Tatton had man
aged to read the letter. 1t was slow
work, for he could not read so well
as in the old days when he had casu-
ally attended the little school out
by the branch. Dstrusting his own

Light in Poultry Houses.

According TO my observation, most
poultry houses have too many win
dows, or rather too much window
space. Big windows are not advisable.
My own practice has been to have one
window Of two sashes each containing
nine by-ten glass. This is the right
size Of windows for houses ten by ten
feet square. More glass is uhneces-
sary and makes the house very cold in
winter. Each sash should be covered
with wire screen to prevent the fowls
from breaking the glass. All the win
dows should be IS inches above the
floor of the poultry house. This gives
the fowls abundant light for working
in the litter on the fioor.-F. NJ Mum
ger. in Farmers Review.
