EXERCISE HENS IN WINTER
Fowls Should Be Allowed to Run
About During the Cold
Months.

The. main thing in keeping poultry III
good shape in winter is to get the fowls
to exercise, says H. X. La Forette, Mich
igan, in Orange Judd Farmer. The
greatest difference between a flock that
is doing we'll and one that Is losing
money for its owner is that the former
are active and healthy, while the latter
sit around probably too fat and with
scarcely ambition enough to eat.
With >Cochins am far more fearful
of their getting too fat than of not being
fat enough. give them plenty to eat,
but also provide sufficient exercise by
scattering all grain fed in straw and
make them scratch it out. To be sure
this is rather ruinous to the toe feath-
ering. In preparing them for exhibition
l have found that they will take consid-
cradle exercise in picking corn off an ear
suspended from the ceiling by string.

ABOUT POULTRY AND BEES.

Ordinarily bees range within two OF
three miles of home, in all directions.
Rearing queens at any season is but
forcing" nature; all the cells are built
naturally. r.
In cold weather, when bees are quiet,
is when they are doing best; do not dis
turb them.
Fresh sir is needed in the poultry
house every day. Leave the door or a
window open for ventilation. a."
Feeding broken oil cakes to fowls
twice a week will often promote laving
when other foods fail to give good re-
suits. 80 Ill. 4 +.
There is no animal that Is more mold
able by man than the domestic fowl, and
this fact is being taken advantage of to
improve our focks. 49,. .~.
Every bee-keeper ought to have a bee
tight and mouse-proof room to protect
the innumerable things Of an apiary
from their depredations. IT, +
If an abundance of good sharp grit is
kept constantly within range of the
fowls many ailments that spring from
indigestion may be avoided.

poor combination; a smaller rooster

SHALLOW FRAMES ARE BEST
Decision Is Reached in Much Dis
. cussed subject-Explanation
and Reasons.

Foremost in agricultural discussions OF
to-day is the subject Of frames and their
proper depth for best results in the pro-
duction of honey, says the Midland Far
mer. All intelligent bee-keepers are
aware of the fact that bees are naturally
averse to travelling over honey in the
brood-chamber to store in the sections.
None deny this. 1t is equally true that,
unless the brood-chamber is greatly
contracted at the time the surplus recep-
tacles are on, there will be considerable
strip. of honey along the top of each
frame-if that be deeper than the Langs-
troth. On the other hand, if the BROOD
chamber be contracted, by taking away
a number of the outside frames, it will
be left narrower than the super. AS the
brood-nest must extend out under all
the sections, to insure degree of uni
formity in the completion of these, it is
not difficult for even the casual observer
to see that there is a serious fault con-
nected with this sort of contraction.
With the foregoing facts before us, we
can readily see that a deep frame cannot
give near the amount of section honey
as will shallow one. and the causes are
unavoidable.

HOW TO KEEP COMB HONEY
formulating Of Toothsome Morsel
Makes It Undesirable and
Unstable.

4, The. granulating of honey in the comb
makes it more unstable than almost
anything else that can happen to 1t which
does not destroy the comb, says the Epi-
tomist. Owing to this, comb honey
should always be kept in a warm, dry
place during at least the fall and winter
months, or whenever great changes of
temperature are likely to occur. 1t may
be stored through the winter in a. dry
basement. room or cellar, provided no
frost reaches those apartments; but il
there is sudden rise Of temperature
outside much above that inside, mois-
ture is liable to gather and stand in
drops on the combs, in which case the
honey will rapidly deteriorate. The
only sure way Of preserving comb honey
SO that it will present salable form, is
to store it in rooms so constructed that
the temperature there will remain be-
tween 70 and 80 degrees, and never 60 be-
low go degrees. e.. -....~

APIARY OFTEN NEGLECTED.
Wisconsin Correspondent Gives Ex.
PLANTATION Of Method Of
Keeping Bees.

The condition Of the apiary at the
home of my mother on farm in western
Ohio is typical OF apiaries. on many
farms, says Harry Lathrop, Wisconsin.
In Orange Judd Farmer. The farm Is in
charge of younger brother. who dis
likes bees. He has given them no atten-
ton for several years. They have set
right where they are in the grass over
winter and yet, for the past ten years
the family has had more or less honey
from them, though all undeserved. Two
years ago, while on visit home. took
off the honey, about 100 pounds. some OF
which is still on hand. l have said to
the folks that, If I was sure I could be
on the ground once each summer or au-
tumn, would attempt to keep some bees
for profit on this place in order to DEM
onstrate that such thing is possible.
-. / would prepare half dozen two
STORY, ten-frame hives OF the standard
langstroth size. These would have q
permanent she'll or outer hive, leaving
four-inch space packed with dry leaves
or planer chips. The hives would be

would have a good roof over them. On
top of the double brood chamber would
be placed queen, excluding honey
board, and above this two supers of full
depth extracting combs. =
Good colonies having young, vigorous
queens on all worker combs would be
placed in these hives. would not ex-
pect them to swarm, and the two supers
of extracting combs would expect to
accommodate all the surplus honey they
would store during a season in this
rather poor field. The two-story brood
chamber allowed the bees for breeding
when filled with honey would obyiate
the necessity of spring feeding. When
I came each autumn would extract the
honey from the upper stories, examine
the colonies, requiem where necessary
and leave them in shape for the next har~
vest: no comb honey would be pro-
duced.
There might not be much profit In
this kind of bee keeping. Accidents
might happen and conditions arise
which could easily be corrected if the
owner was not 500 miles distant. But
supposing that bees could be made to
pay fair profit on the investment under
such conditions, how much better could
they be made to pay and how much bet
ter care could be given them by one on
the ground, supposing he was willing to
give them a few spare moments now and
then.

but four or five cents a pair. Fig. 4

the nest on two nails or screws, suspend

time these nests can be hung on the out

other suitable place, as they are water

seems to like to have her nest away from

because we would not join its criminal

citizens and differ from the labor union
plan in that we do not force people to
strike, picket, boycott, assault, blow,
up property or commit murder. ).
We do not pay thugs $40 to break in
the ribs of any man who tries to sup
port his family nor $50 for an eye
knocked out.
We try to show our plain, honest re-
gard for sturdy and Independent work..
men by paying the highest wages in

We have a steady, unvarying respect
for the law-abiding peaceable union,

him gain power enough to purge tho
unions of their criminal practices that
have brought down upon them tho
righteous denunciation of long-suf-
fering and outraged public, but We win
not fawn, truckle, bend the knee, wear
the hated collar Of white slavery, the
union label, nor prostitute our Ameri-

Your boycott may perhaps succeed in

driving us from business, but you can
