SHALLOW FRAMES ARE BEST
Decision Is Reached a. in Much Dis
eussed 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
1nef. All intelligent bee-keepers are
aware OF the fact that bees ere 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 arc on. there will be a considerable
strip of honey along the top of each
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 serious fault con-
nected with this sort Of contraction.
With the foregoing facts before us, We
can readily see that deep frame cannot
give near the amount of section honey
as will shallow one, and the causes are
unavoidable.

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.
In cold weather, when bees are quiet.
;s when they are doing best; do not dis
turb them.
Fresh air is needed in the poultry
house every day. Leave the door or a
window open for ventilation.
Feeding broken oil cakes to fowls
twica a week will often promote laying
when other foods fail to give good re-
suits.
There is no animal that is more mold
able bv man than the domestic fowl, and
This fact is being taken advantage of to
improve our focks.
Every bee-keeper ought to have bee
tight and mouse-proof room to protect
mo innumerable things of an apiary
from their depredatlons.
IF an abundance of good sharp grit is
kent constantly within range of the
fowls many ailments that spring from
indigestion may be avoided.
large rooster with small hens is
moor combination; smaller rooster
with large hens is little better, and a
sood-sized rooster With good-sized hens
is the best of all.

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 flock that
is doing we'll and one that is losing
money for it's owner IL that the former
are active and healthy. while the latter
sit around probably too fat and with
scarcely ambition enough to eat.
With Cochins l 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
I have found that they will take consid-
cradle exercise in picking corn Oft an ear

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

The graduating of honey in the com b
makes it more unstable than almost
anything else that can happen to it 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 dry
basement room or cellar, provided no
frost reaches those apartments; but if
there is a 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 20 and 80 degrees, and never go be-
low 60 degrees.

Hinges for the lid can be made OF two
ordinary fence staples by being linked
together, one driven into the lid and the
other into the strip across the top Of the

be used, which are much better, and cost
but four or five cents pair. Fig. 4
shows the back of the nest with two
holes which are to oe used in hanging
the nest on, two nails or screws, suspend
ing the nest six or ten inches from the
floor of the chicken house. In summer
time these nests can be hung on the out
side of the buildings or on the fence or
other suitable place. as they arc water
proof. or nearly so. Sometimes the hen
seems to like to have her nest away from

Put into cup Of vinegar generous

partly dissolves. Apply to the FROST

APlARY 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 a 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
on the honey, about 100 pounds. some OF
which is still on hand. l have said to
the folks that, it was sure l 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.
l would prepare half dozen two
story, ten-frame hives OF the standard
langstrOth size. These would have q
permanent shell or outer hive, leaving
four-inch space packed with dry leaves
or planer chips. The hives would be
placed we'll up from the ground and
would have a good roof over them. On
top of the double brood chamber would
be placed a 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 I would expect to
accommodate all the surplus honey they
would store during season in this
| rather poor field. The two-story brood
chamber allowed the bees for breeding.
| when filled with honey would obviate
the necessity of spring feeding. When
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 ii 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 ana how much bet
| ter care could be given them by one ON
the ground, supposing he was willing tn
give them a few spare moments now anu
| then.

If We can only come back to nature to-

A short time ago inquiry came from
the union forces to know il Mr.. Post

Nuts.
This is the reply: 1.-THE labor trust
has seen 1T to try to ruin our business
because we would not join its criminal
conspiracy. We are plain American
citizens and differ from the labor union
plan in that we do not force peonle to
strike, picket, boycott, assault. blow
up property or commit murder.
We do not pay thugs $50 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
the state.
We have steady, unvaryins respect
for the law-abiding peaceable union
man and a most earnest desire to SEQ
him gain power enough to purge the
unions OF their criminal practices that
have brought down upon them tho
righteous dcnunciation of a long su1-
fering and outraged public, but we will
not fawn, truckle, bend the knee. wear
the hated collar Of white slavery, the
union label, nor prostitute our Aneri-
can citizenship under orders" OF any
labor trust.
You offer to remove the restriction
on our business and with union" gold
choke the throat and still the voice
raised in stern denunciation Of the
despotism which tramples beneath an
iron shod heel, the freedom OF our
brothers.
You would gag us with silver bar
and muffle the appeal to the American
people to harken to the cries for bread
OF the little children whose faithful IA
theirs were beaten to death while striv-
ing to earn food for them.
Your boycott may perhaps succeed N
throwing our people out of work and
driving us from business, but you can
not wrench from us that priceless jewel
our fathers fought for and which every,
true son guards with his life There
fore, speaking for cur work people and
ourselves the infamous offer is &C.

Identification.
The public should remember that
there are a few Labor Unions conduct
cd on peaceful lines, and in proportions
as they are worthy they have won
esteem, for we. as people, are strong
ly in sympathy with any right act that
has for it's purpose better conditions
for wage workers. But we do not for
get that we seek the good Of all ana
not those alone who belong to some
organization. whereas even the law
abiding unions show undeniable EVIL
dences of tyranny and oppression when
they are strong enough, while many
of the unions harbor and encourage
criminals in their efforts to force .
yoke of slavery upon the American
people. AS public speaker lately
said: "Thc arrogance of the English
King that reused the fiery eloQuence
Of Otis, that inspired the immortal
declaration Of Jefferson, that left War
rem dying on the slopes Of Bunker Hill
was not more outrageous than the con-
ditions that closed shop would force
upon the community. These men burst
into rebellion when the king did but
touch their pockets Imagine II you
can their indignant protest had no
sought to prohibit or restrict their &C.
cupation or determine the conditions
under which they should earn their
livelihood" and TO assault, beat and
murder them, blow up their houses and
poison their food il they did not sub
NIT.
The public should also remember
that good true American citizens can
be found in the unions and that they
deprccatc the criminal acts of their
fellow members, but they are often in
! bad company.
Salt only hurts sore spots. So, the
| honest, lawabiding union man is not
| hurt when the criminals are denounced.
but when you hear a union man "hol-
lcr' because the facts are made public,
he has branded himself as either ono
Of the lawbreakers or sympathizer,
and therefore with the mind Of the
lawbrcaker, and likely to become ors
when opportunity offers. That IS one
reason employers decline to hire such
men.
