Diagnosing Bone Fractures.

A rather peculiar use for the tuning
fork has been mentioned by a writer
in the Chicago Medical Recorder, that
of locating fractures, especially of the
long bones. The test is made by plac-
ing the bell of stethoscope over the
bone, near the supposed fracture,
where the soft tissues are as thin as
possible, and the handle of tuning
fork as close to the bone as possible
beyond the supposed seat of fracture.
The sound will be transmitted through
the bone to the instrument and thence
to the ear of the examiner. When the
bone is intact if the test is properly
made, the sound VII be heard with
great distinctness: but if there is q
lack of continuity the sound will either
not be heard at all or will be heard
very fainuy.

Cold Cured Cheese Wins.

Tests made by the New York Agri-
cultural Experiment Station on the
curing of cheese in cold temperatures
Gao deg) have drawn out conclusions
as follows:
Il. The loss Of moisture is less at
low temperatures and therefore there
is more cheese to sell.
-. The commercial quality Of
cheese cured at low temperatures is
better, and this results in giving the
cheese a higher market value
'3. Cheese can be held long time
at low temperatures without impair
ment of quality.
a. By utilizing the combination OF
paratfining cheese and curing it at
low temperatures, the greatest econ.
omy can be effected"

Wintcrinq Bees.

Mr.. John FiXtes, apiarist at the ex-
perimental farm at Ottawa, giving evi.
dence by the standing committee on
agriculture on the wintering O.. bees,
said:
We have tried very extensive eX-
periments in win;ering bees in the
following situations: In the cellar OF
a private house; in the root-house,
where the roots are kept; in pit,
that is hole dug in the ground on
a hill side: out of doors, on their
summer stands, and also in the house
apiary. We found that wintering in
the cellar is the best method in this
section of the country, and l am safe
in saying, it is better to winter in
the cellar in any section of the coun-
try where the thermometer goes down
to 10 below zero. The amount OF
honey consumed by outside wintering
will be about one-fourth or one-half
more than it will be by wntering
inside: in that way it compares very
favorably with the wintering of ami
mails. if you winter an animal out
around a straw stack, it takes very
much more feed to keep up the animal
heat 1t is the same with bees.
Keep the bees at an even tempera-
turc, 40 10 4G degrees, and in fairly
good cellar; it is not necessary that
the cellar should be perfectly dry.
The best way to arrange the hives in
the cellar is TO place a block about
three inches thick under the entrance
to the hive SO as to raise them from
the bottom board. Most people when
they have purchased two or three
hives, th.al that they must prevent
the bees from coming out of the hive
during the winter and put the wire
sal2e over the entrance; the newt
able result is that they smother their
bees. 1t is far better on the contrary
to give them free ventilation at the
bottom.

Ans.-The accompanying illustra-

require more wire, but no more posts
over hill than on the level. The
