NEWSSTAND MADE OF BOTTLES

HlN ESTAND MADE OF BOTTLES
boards are wide; or if you want to
have double breaster, cut them long
enough to reach clear across all three
bottles. Now drive a five penny nail
through the timber just over the mouth
of the bottles. Leave not less than
one-eighth of the head end of the nails
up. These are to hold the bottom
boards from slipping and sliding about,
and the lower parts of the nails will
hold the rails on the mouths of the bot
ties. Hard winds will not slip either
rail or hive.
Such hive stand is very simple,
and the glass posts are everlasting so
far as decaying is concerned. 1t can
be made very cheap and serviceable as
dual stand or for three hives if pre-
ferred. consider such stand most
excellent one-so good that l shall
adopt 1t for all of my hives.
If desired. four pieces may be used
to constitute the frame work, and these
securely nailed together. Then longer
nail will be required to reach through
and down into the necks of the bottles
Such a frame might be necessary
where three or four stories are left
full of honey for any length of time.
An auger-hole may be made to re-
ceive a pin that will fill the mouths Of
the bottles instead of holding the
frame work or stand with nails. In
this case 1 would allow a quarter Of
the pin to stand above to prevent the
bottom-board from slipping. Shorter
bottles, such as pint beer bottles, could
be used and bought some cheaper.
A long black bottle with deeper re-
used and set up much more easily by
taking wet spell to do the bottle part
of the work. The necks could be
pushed into the ground up to the shout
der Of the bottle, and the concave end
used to hold the frame work by means
of small blocks of wood being cut just
the size of the recess in the bottom.
These long bottles will hold the hive
bottom up so that ones feet may be
showed under the hive; besides, they
hold the hive up from the ground away
from moisture, toads and rats. as we'll
as at convenient working distance,
thereby doing away with so much
back breaking toll.
This stand puts ones second stories
and supers up just right so any one
can do almost all the days work in
an upright position. It's just the right
height for a double-decker queen-nur.
sery. I have been reading different ar
ticles on hive stands and thought this
might be of benefit to some bee keep.
ers. Almost any one can pick up
enough bottles for small apiary, free
of cost and can make the stand very
cheaply.

INCREASING HONEY YIELD.
Simple Plan That Seems to Be Worth
Trying, Because It Has Given
Good Results.

The new way Of putting in sections
for comb honey does not suit the bees
very well; seems to handicap their
work. I had been very much disap-
pointed in the yield of honey from
some strong swarms. At the end of
what / thought a good season l found
my supers only half filled; maybe q
dozen sections more or less filled. Now
have nothing to say against the neat
ness or attractiveness OF the new
package, but 1t reduced the capacity of
the bees, and in relating my expert
ence to several friends they, too, had
the same experience. Running for ex-
tracted honey was satisfactory as to
yield, but to get better results in comb
honey production, / decided to resort
to some other plan BY accident,
found that very rapid filing was done
in the upper story of a Langstroth
hive where the caps had been left out.
In this the bees stored honey in the
promiscuous fashion that they thought
best Well, that wasn't so nice way,
but they made up for it in extra
pounds. That suggested a plan of OPP
Grafton, and the other caps were re
moved and box was made very much
like this and set on the old box stand.
The capacity was increased to an 49,
inch square box, nine inches deep,
which box was inserted over plat
form of about that size that was pre-
viously fastened on top of the box
stand. This gave the bees ample room
and they stored away great loads of
honey. These boxes were left on un-
til cold weather, when they were re-
moved, not a bee being in sight; con-
sequently there was no tussel between
myself and the bees. These large caps
were commodious and plain so that the
workers could store honey in manner
that would expedite matters instead of
hindering them as was the case with
the sections. One great mistake Is In
not giving ample room. Work must
stop when all the available space is
utilized. Try this plan for home use

When Chickens Cannot Walk.

A subscriber asks what is the trouble
with chicken that has lost the use of
its legs and cannot walk. She says it is
as fat as can be and seems to sleep all the
time unless when trying to eat. Many
things may be responsible for the. trou-
BILE, among them being an injury or over
feeding of fattening food. Confinement
on damp ground may also cause rheu-
matism, which will deprive them of the
use Of their limbs. Chicks require exer-
else, and unless they follow the hen and
scratch for bugs and worms they are
likely to become too fat and often break
down. Be careful to see that the chicks
learn early in life to hustle, for the habit
once formed will be followed through
life. The busy chick and the busy hen
are the profitable kinds, and we might
add are the only kinds that ever pay
their way.-Home and Farm.

bottom. This forms a double floor
with air space between, which prevents
overheating and danger from fire.
The back of roof and fiat top board
a, are now put on, using the boards re-
moved from top of box. The top board
should project little over back and
front, as it helps to shed rain. With
tonged, d, and grooved strips, c, two
or three inches wide. make frame or
sash large enough to fill the front
Fasten this sash to tops with strips of
leather and let it rest on the front of
box. Make an opening, d, in the front
for the chicks to run through. Give
the outside good coat of paint and
make several small holes in each end
of brooder near the roof for ventilation,
and the brooder proper is complete.
The breoder may be raised from. the
floor either by light horses or by q box
or frame without tops and bottom.
Place this so that the brooder rests
upon the cleats on the edge in contact
with the support. II the box is used,
and it is best, make door, e, in one
end large enough to admit fiat tin
lamp with tin chimney, or a regular
brooder stove. Provide holes for ven
tilation as in the top. Cover the floor
of brooder with dry, sifted earth or hay
seed, about one inch thick. Light the
lamp and as soon as the thermometer
registers 80 degrees it is ready for the
chicks. After a few days the chicks
will need more room, and run, f. can
be attached to front of brooder.-

It Paws to Read Newspapers.

Cox, Wis, July 4.-Frank M. Russell of
this place, had Kidney Disease so bad that
he could not walk. He tried Doctors treat
ment and many different remedies, but was
getting worse. He was very low.
He read in a newspaper how Dodd's
Kidney Pills were curing cases of Kidney
Trouble, Bright's Disease, and Rheumatism,
and thought he would try them. He took
two boxes, and now he is quite well. He
says
II can now work all day, and not feel
tired. Before. using Dodd,s Kidney Pills,
l couldn't walk across the floor"
Mr.. Russell is the most wonderful case
ever known in Chippewa County. This new
remedy-Dodd's Kidney Pills-is making
