winter Care of Bees.

Have a thermometer in the cellar and
try to keep the temperature between
40 and so degrees. Visit the cellar &C.
casionally to ascertain If the bees are
quiet. If they seem uneasy at times,
a little more ventilation will probably
quiet them. Allow as little noise and
light as possible. Bees consume con-
siderable less honey when wintered in
the cellar than when out Of doors, 9TH
err things being equal. The dead bees
should be swept up and carried from
the cellar occasionally and everything
kept sweet and clean. SO as not to have
any foul air In the apartment. In early
spring when the weather begins to
warm up the bees will no doubt show
signs of restlessness. They should not,
however, be set out too early. About
the time of soft maple bloom is right In
most localities. To keep the tempera-
ture low and the bees quiet 1t will be
necessary to open the windows at night
and keep them closed In the daytime,

THE MIXING OF CORN.
Interesting Experiments With Field
and Sweet Varieties.

Interesting Experiments With Field
and Sweet Varieties.
1t has been stated that while the pol
len of field corn will prove troublesome
in mixing with sweet corn, sweet corn
will not mix with field corn, or rather
its pollen has no influence upon the
ears of field corn. In order to test this
an experiment was made at the Rhode
Island station.
In 1898 sweet corn and field corn
were planted together in the following
manner: Potter's Excelsior sweet corn,
four rows; Shakers Early sweet corn,
two rows; Longfellow, two rows;
Stowell's Evergreen, two rows; Long
fellow, two rows. The four rows Of
Potter's Excelsior were on the north

Good Things to KNOW.

We notice in an old journal the fol-
lowing words:
"a few raw eggs mixed with the food
about once week will check any tend
ency to looseness of the bowels"
This is simple remedy If it will do
the work, and it is so very easy of trial,
for it is pleasant in the mixed food and
always at hand for use.
We doubt very much the propriety of
continually giving our fowls some kind
of powders or nostrums to stimulate
them unnaturally. For this reason we
select and publish the above as good,
simple remedy that all can try, with
full assurance of no injury coming by
Its use.

THEY CRUSH The POWERS

This Is written In mid October. The long,
oppressive summer is quite gone. Fading
leaf, whitening tree and the rustling corn in
the fields are signs of the season. Fog,
frost, rain, snow, they are coming. You
remember last winter; of 1900 and 1901.
The weather was cruel. Ali the thous-
ands it killed, and the hundreds of thous-
ands it MANNED and crippled. Oh, the
rough grasp it laid on men at work, women
ct home, and children in cribs and cradles.
Coughs that began before Thanksgiving

We are asked whether sheep may be
allowed to run in an orchard pasture
without injury to the trees. If they
were simply allowed to have run in
such pasture for short time once a
day to pick up windfalls and weeds, it
would be beneficial to the trees, but
if kept there continuously they would
soon seriously injure it by punching
under the trees.

SUCCESS In Dairxinx.

If experience in dairying does not
make a man or woman wise, it counts
for but little. We often see cases
where people grown gray in the care of
cows realize only meager profits from
the business. says Farm and Ranch.
This is because years ago they decided
that they had mastered all there was to
be known relative to dairying and have
since never tried to get out of the rut.
The most conscientious attention to de-
tail work in the care of cows, care of
milk and the routine Of labor required
in butter and cheese making is neces-
sary to success in any or all of these

Handling Dairy Cows.

If farmers knew how TO handle cows
as well as they think they do there
would be few Improbable diaries in

There is more hope Of man who
knows nothing about milk cows and
knows he doesn't than of one who
doesn't know and thinks he does. One
will learn how; the other viii not.

Where the Dairy Bred Cow ExceIs.
There is one point wherein the dairy
bred COW excels all others which is not
often mentioned. She produces her
milk and all milk solids at lower cost
for the same quantity. She is bailt
for that purpose. BY natural selection,
like the trotting horse, she performs
her work at the least possible outlay
for food consumed. For instance, Pro
fessor Hacker found that the dairy
bred COW Houston produced her butter
at a cost Of less than cents pound,
while the dual purpose COW Dora made
her butter cost over 10 cents. $3.50

Last year a special appropriation of
$500, 58S25 was made from this fund
for the purposes of public education
and was used by the various counties
of the state either in reducing the To-
cal school tax or in increasing school
facilities. No better use of portion,
and large portion, of the surplus can,
/ think, be made. The action OF last
year will doubtless be repeated this
year, but think other uses of the sur
plus can wisely be made. Too large
surplus should not be allowed to ac-
cumulate. 1t is larger now than
safe and conservative regard for the
interests of the state require. 1t be-
longs to the people Of this generation
and should not be held for the benefit
of the next. The people are entitled
to receive the benefit Of it now, and a
reasonable portion of it may be used
either in the reduction of school taxes,
the repair and enlargement of the In
stitutions of the state where such are
needed, the substantial increase in the
appropriation for public roads, which
cannot too highly commend to you,
or in such other manner as the legis-
lature may in its wisdom decide upon.
