Winter Protection of Bee Hives,


After the bees have stopped their fall
flying the hives should be set in a row,
facing south, with about six inches of
space between the hives. Drive few
stakes between and in front Of the
hives at an angle Of about forty-fve
degrees, so that when boards are plac-
ed across them the lower edges Of the
boards will rest against the hives just
above the entrance. Then pack leaves
over the hives and between them, doing
the work thoroughly; the board will
prevent the packing material from clos
ing the entrance. Cover the leaves
with straw to a considerable depth.
Dig a trench along the back of the
hives, forming ridge against the hives
that will shed water and keep it from
getting in at the bottom Of the hives.
This is a very simple plan, yet gives
ample protection, while, by using the
board in front, the opening Of the hive
receives all the sunlight there may be
during the winter. Should the winter
be unusually severe, more straw may
be added from time to time during the
winter to obtain the needed warmth.

HOG WATERING DEVICE.

in such way as to make four drinking
places, the hog sticking it's snout
through hole to get the water. This
barrel should be in a corner of the lot
or near fence where it will be pro-
tected to some extent from the coldest
weather. At D will be seen a valve
which regulates the supply of water
and keeps barrel B so full of water all
the time. E is the line of pipe leading
from the float barrel to as many wa
tering places as may be placed on the
line. Barrel A should be covered with
litter to prevent freezing.-Iowa Home

wi1helm,s Eldest Son.

| WI1he1m'S Eldest SOns
Perhaps the fierce light that beats
upon the throne" blinds people to possi-
BILE faults and failings of the German
Crown Prince, but he really seems to
be manly, attractive young fellow
who deserves to be liked for his own
sake. We have heard so much about
the Kaiser as ruler, composer, writer
and sailor that it is especially satisfac-
tory to know something about him as
| father.
The tie between Wilhelm and his
eldest son and heir is an unusually
close one. The Kaiser looks person
ally after every detail of his sons
training, not only at the university, but
also in his service with the Guards at
Potsdam. Instead of making the
Crown Prince believe that he is not
old enough to understand the deepest
secrets of statecraft, he has for many
years discussed all public questions
with him with the greatest frankness,
believing that this is just as important
a part of his sons education as the book
knowledge. And it is.
The result is that while the Prince
has sunny disposition, he yet takes a
serious view of life and is conscien-
tiously fitting himself for the duties
that will come to him, if hesoutlives his
father. In addition to regular studies
and statecraft, and military service, the
Crown Prince has had plenty Of oppor
tunities to become a good shot, splen-
did horseman and fine tennis player.
He also plays the violin exceedingly
well and draws and paints with skill.
Emperor William has five other sons
and while they do not receive the spe-
cial training in statecraft that has been
given to the Crown Prince, the En-
peror has laid out plans for their prac
tical education that is little unusual.
August William and Oscar, the third
and fourth sons, with six companions,
have been established on little farm
of twenty-eight acres, and the boys do
all the work. The house is the little
peasants hut that was there originally,
and it has merely been made comfort
able for the new tenants. with mat
ting, red chairs and whitewashed walls.
In the cupboard are plain earthenware
dishes. A young peasant and his wife
are all the attendants given the boys,
who often brew their own coffee when
their work in the garden has made
them thirsty.
The boys themselves planted the po-
tatoes, corn and other vegetables, culti-
waited them, and when ready for mar
ket gathered them and sent them to the
royal kitchen, receiving regular market
values for everything.
If more royal fathers had such sensi-
BILE, delightful ideas, royal boys would
not find it so hard after all to be born
so close to throne-Minneapol Jour-

chamber and pouring scalding water
into the opening so that it will soak
through the castings.
Among the preventive remedies, al
kaline washes Or solutions are probably
the most useful. Soft soap made to the
consistency of thick paint by the addi-
tion of a strong solution of washing
soda in water, is good formula for
application. 1t should be painted over
the bark, especially about the base of
the trees and upward to the main
branches. A small quantity of gas tar
added to the solution will also assist in
repelling the insect and will not injure
the tree.-Orange Judd Farmer.

Success in Dairying,

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. 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 conscien-
tious attention to detail work in the
care of cows, care Of milk and the rou-
tine Of labor required in butter and
cheese making is necessary to success
in any or all of these branches.eFarm

Saving Garden Seeds.


There are many seeds that the farm
His sweet corn from the earliest ears
to mature, and his field corn from the
most perfect ears, straight rows and
well-filled tips he can find, and if pos
sible from stalks that have two or more
ears, to induce the habit of twin bear
ing stalks. These should be thoroughly
dried and kept dry until wanted for
planting. Rows of peas and beans
should be saved expressly for seed, and
not the seed taken from those that are
left after picking for market. We
have even let the first that set ripen
for seed, and picked them dry while
picking others for table use. This we
did to insure early maturity in the next
crop. Cucumber, pepper, tomato,
seed from some of the best if not the
earliest on the plants, and if we cared
to save beet, carrot, turnip, cabbage or
onion seed, we saved the best we had
to set out in the spring for seed. The
lettuce and radish go to seed the same
year if left long enough. Having Sc
lected our seed and seen it thoroughly
ripened, every package was carefully
labeled with the name of the variety,
and the smaller ones put away in tin
box, that insects might not get to them.
and the larger ones in cotton bags Sc
curely tied. few we thought we
could buy cheaper than we could grow
them, and better because grown in a
more favorable soil or climate, but
when we saved seed as we have de-
scribed above, we had no running out
of any variety.-American Cultivator.

In the midst of the prayer that fol-

asked:
