The Walls of a HOG Pen.

To secure the best lining for a hog
pen it would be well to cover the stud
ding with cheap lumber, and fill be-
tween the studs with dry sawdust or
planer shavings. On the cheap lumber
tack tarred paper, tapping the edges
well; then put on half-inch or inch
strapping and cover this with matched
lumber. A wall built in this way
should be warm provided the work is
well done and the doors and windows
fit properly and the ceiling is close.
1t is very difficult matter to keep
the walls of hog pen dry in cold
weather without artificial heat or very
thorough ventilation. Some hog raisers
provide openings for ventilation sufii-

struct enclosed pins two or three feet

Feeding Bees in the Cellar.

. Two ~ VIC SStl0Vs b.
sugar syrup may be given to bees
IN the cellar with the regular division
board feeder. It would be advisable
to put the feeder in the middle of the
brood nest; but better way would be
to give the bees cakes of hard candy.
The candy should be made by boiling
graduated sugar syrup, with little
honey in it, SO that, when cool, It will
form into hard, translucent cake. A
Two or three pound brick of this when
put on top Of the brood frames will be
enough to take care of any colony
short Of stores.
The question as to whether the emp.
~ sugar should be put ON top will
depend largely on the size of the en-
trance. If it is one inch by the width
OF the hive, take of the super and put
the cover on top next to the frames. III
the entrance is only three-eighths OF
an inch deep it may be advisable to
leave the super on, putting in a chaff
cushion. In this case the cover should
be left off. In the absence of the
cushion any old carpeting may do as
well.-Gleanings.

Ice in STORAGE,

Provided the walls are constructed
so as to keep out the warmth by rea-
son of good insulation, the ice may be
stored close to the walls. In order to
cover the ice sufficiently fully three
feet of space should be left above for
straw or other insulating material, and
an air space for ventilation. The ice
should be cut in uniform blocks and
packed as solidly as possible, filing
the chinks with broken ice as the fill
ing proceeds. When six feet of ice
have been put in and chinked up SOL
idly, dry straw, which is the cheapest
and most convenient insulating mate
