HINTS FOR BEEKEEPERS.

Bees must have plenty of ventila-
ton when being moved.
1t is impossible for the bees to Sc

For quietness of disposition and
wide-awake business the Italian bees
are not excelled.
Disturbing bees during cold wealth
er is one of the most disastrous things
that can be done.
The hives left on the summer
stands should have protection of some
kind against winter winds.
The best temperature to winter
bees in the cellar is as near az to As
degrees as they can be kept.
To have bees do we'll during the
winter they must be kept very quiet,
with no disturbance whatever.
Many superannuated queens, toward
the last of their career, lay eggs in

drones.

FEEDING YOUNG PIGS.
Common-Sense Ration for Two
MOnths-OIds Where Feeder Wants
to Make Pork Quickly.

Pigs can be grown very well with
out milk, but keeping them in pen
makes it harder, as exercise is a
very important factor in the healthy
growth of a pig. If possible, get
some green or other succulent food
for them; occasionally grass-covered
sods thrown into the pen will be en-
joyed by the pigs. If pumpkins can
be had for a time they will help.
To these add such roots as may be
at hand-mangels or turnips. These
things only in such quantities as they
will clean up quickly and be hungry
for more when feeding time comes.
Now as to the grain ration. Oats
ground and hulls sifted out (these
hulls need not be wasted but fed to
cattle or hOrses), and corn meal
make an excellent feed. Mixed two
parts of the former to one of the
latter at the beginning, with the
oats decreased as the pigs near the
fattening or market time. The
grinding makes this ration expensive.
If pure middlings can be had, not
adulterated with cob meal or mill
screenings, they, with one-fourth by
weight of bran added, make an ex-
cellent feed for growing pigs. With
this can be fed little ear corn. The
bran and middlings can be best fed
mixed with an equal volume of wa
ter, always fed in clean troughs. If
clover hay is to be had such an
amount of leaves can be fed each
morning as they will clean up during
the day. Put the chaff or leaves in
the troughs and pour over and mix
with them the bran and middlings
and wet the whole with water from
well. This should be fed in the
morning, as they will take more time
to consume it. If fed in the evening
it will be partly left in trough and
get frozen during the night.
AS to the amount to be fed to pigs.
[ cannot say how much; this must be
governed by the appetite or the pigs,
and the judgment of the feeder must
have much to do with learning the
limit of their appetites. Most begin
ners, [ think, overfeed. AS a rule it
is better to err a little in the other
direction.-JohnM NJ. Jamison, in Ohio

MoIasses Cure for Collie.

Molasses has been found to be the
means of rendering good service for
curing horses suffering from collie.
A landed proprietor observed that a
certain number of his horses became
sick of collie, and the means resort
ed to-change of diet, etc.-were of
no avail to restore the health of the
animals In this emergency the gen.
tleman in question hit on the idea
of using molasses, and, 10, the health
of the horses not only improved, but
since giving molasses to the animals
none of them got sick again. For
horses two pounds of molasses are
given in a mixture of eight to twelve
pounds of oatmeal or bran, which is
the ration per day for one horse.

the nests put grease on their heads to
kill any lice that may be there, dust
the hen with insect powder, clean the

THE THREE-OUNCE EGG.
the Hen Yard and Should Be
Made the Standard

Every observant person knows how
widely eggs differ in size, shape and
color; every experienced poultryman
knows how much these qualities are
dependent on the breed, food and age
of the hen. For instance, the Minorca
and Mediterranean breeds have repu-
tatlon for producing very large eggs,
while most people consider the eggs
of the Wyandotte small. 1t may be
observed, however, that the eggs of
this last breed are not really so small
as they appear, being much more near
ly spherical in shape than those of 9TH
er breeds, but of practically the same
content.
People generally judge eggs by a
personal standard which varies wide
~ according to the experience of the
individual. In some countries abso-
lutte justice is melted out to both pro-
Queer and consumer by selling eggs
by weight. For scientific purposes
TINS is about the only way they can
be compared successfully. The posi-
bllity for the weigh of the hens eggs
varies approximately from one to
tour ounces, those over three and
half being classed as curiosities by
most people and those under two be-
ing generally considered unmarked
able. There is a desire on the part
of some poultry fanciers to make the
three-ounce egg the standard for all
breeds except the very smallest, and
to breed and feed with the attain
ment of this standard weight in view.
Other breeders say that, as larger
eggs bring no better price, it is folly
to try to produce them.
In answer to this last point, it may
be SAID that customers are generally
pleased with eggs according to their
size and freshness, and that it is diff
cult to get and keep the best class~of
private egg trade without both quail
ties. This class of customers also glad
ly pays higher price in order to be
perfectly satisfied as to Quantity and
quality, SO that the three-ounce egg
is in the long run the most desirable
and profitable product of the hen
yard.-Prairie Farmer.

10 feet long furnished posts for two
racks. For sides and ends we used
six-inch wide pine stuff. The rack
is II feet long and three feet six
inches wide. About is inches from
the bottom of posts we spiked on
two by four pieces, to support the
bottom of the rack, which was made
of oak boards. The side pieces are
about one foot high above the bot
tom, to keep the feed in the rack.
At the top of the posts we nailed a
siX-inch board, all around, so the
horses and cattle can reach over and
get the feed, and yet cannot throw it
out. Between the upper and lower
boards, calves and young cattle can
get to the feed The rack is crude,
but practicable and durable, and
serves the purpose admirably.-Leo
