Winter Protection for Hives.

ing account of how he insures the
safety and comfort of his bee COLO
nieS:
In the illustration the hives are
shown as they are in the open season.
1 leave them standing on the platform,
which afterward serves as the bottom
for the box in which the stands are
incased during the winter. If one or
more of the hives have been moved
away or separated during the swarm
ing season l gradually move them
closer together again and finally place
them as the illustration shows. When
cold weather approaches the casing is
put around the hives. The front, rear
and sides each are separate, being put
together with screws.
My bee box (see picture) is five
feet long and two feet three inches
wide. The front is two feet high and
the rear eighteen inches high. 1 fill
the box with chaff or cut straw, pack
ing it closely around the beehiyes,
then remove the tops, or covers, of
each hive and also the honey board.
covering the frames instead with a
cushion or piece of thick cloth or
blanket. The space between the hives
and the cover, or roof, of the box is
then filed with chaff, etc., and well
pressed down. Finally the cover is
screwed on. and the job is done.
The top, of course, is slanting
enough to shed rain. 1 cover mine
with tarred felt. Bees thus protected
are in good shape, and, if well pro-
vided with honey at the beginning of
winter and have a young or strong
queen, are likely to pass through the
severest winter unharmed and to be
ready for another season of work and
usefulness when spring comes.

Season of Ribbons.

Almost every season is heralded as
a season of ribbons, and yet this one,
more than most, deserves the title.
Ribbons are used on every sort of
gown, in every sort of way. All
widths find uses, from the tiny baby
width to the widest that the looms
produce. A pretty employment of
two-inch wide ribbon, though hardly a
novel one, is a twisted bow knot de-
sign on the deep fiounce of a lace
gown. The ribbon may be pinned on
according to fancy, and then the
dress turned wrong side out, and the
trimming tackled in place.

Limited Capital.

When one has had no experience he
should begin with the lowest risk If
the capital is small, it is better to rent
for year or two than to buy. If one
buys he reduces his working capital,
and should he be unsuccessful he
must stay on the farm unit he can
sell it, while if he rents he can return
the farm to the owner, and leave. It
is claimed that if one buys he can
when beginning get everything ready
for a permanent stay, which is true-
but that is just what an inexperienced
person should not do. He should start
in a small way, and add to his capital
by increasing his fiocks every year.

number of fowls he will know muck

then take his fowls to a purchased
farm, and feel that he has made

There was a lace underbOdy, which

Effect of Wells on the Complexion.

Wells are credited with being hurt
full to the complexion. The skin, it is
said, needs the friction of the air. and
constant covering prevents this, and
also the healthy action of the pores
Then a veil heats the face, and being
covered with a greasy moisture the
dust and dirt stick and get into the
pores Then the veil itself quickly
gets dirty and soils the skin. If the
face be left uncovered circulation is
stimulated, the skin is cooler and
dust is generally blown off without do
ing any damage.

New Idea in Ir.s11 Lace.

In the recent laces is a unique kind
known as French-Irish. 1t has the
beauty of the Irish crochet, treated
with delicate French taste. 1t is a
wonderful combination. The real
Irish lace has but few patterns, the
shamrock predominating. Irish GRO
chet motifS-of conventional flowers
with heavy bolls bursting out from un-
der half-closed petals-show a pretty
effect of this double touch.

White Fox Fur PopuIar.

The revived vogue of white fox fur
is one of the features of the season
and becoming fur it is, though sadly
ready to become grimy. 1t is especial
ly pretty for youthful wearers, but
many of the older women-provided
they are not too old-appreciate the
fact that the fluffy fur is more becom
ing than the close piled ermine and
have taken up white fox and look un
commonly well in it.

The New Bodices.

A notable feature of the new bodice
is the long. straight boned and point
ed effect in the front. There is no
longer the loose blousing effect, as the
bodice is very much boned at the
waist line and boned girdfes, with the
shirring and fullness going in exactly
the opposite direction from those
lately so fashionable. Velvets, velve-
teens and corduroys are quite as
much in evidence, and are employed
to construct afternoon frocks. In fact,
at present there is a costume for
every one of these fabrics in the ward
robe of all up-to-date women. Cor
duroy naturally is more durable than
either velvet or velveteen, and it is
much used for walking costumes.
Both long and short coats are fash
ionable, but the short coats are con-
sidered a little newer, and they are
very much more comfortable.

Ribbon embroidery is seen on some
of the latest evening dresses, and may
be easily worked on a foundation of
either silk or lace. Lace is best for
the tyro, both because the loose
meshes of the lace make the embroid-
ering easier, and because If the lace
has a flower pattern, a beautiful ef-
feet may be obtained by simply fol-
lowing the outline of the pattern for
the embroidery design The secret of
the beauty of the work lies in the
tactful choice of colors, and not many
shades should be used.
Again, ribbons are used as lacings,
as elaborate stock collars, as bindings,
shirred ruff1es, as meshes, and for the
omnipresent and ever beautiful wide

AGRICULTURE,
Progress in Gardening.


What an advance has taken place in
gardening is well illustrated in the
difference in the yield per acre of on
ions in some gardens of to-day and
those of the old-timer. 1t used to be-
considered that 500 bushels an acre
was a good crop, but not any longer.
A Michigan gardener is credited with
a harvest of 966 bushels this fall, but
in this day of new and improved
methods of culture the yield is not
remarkable, as yields of even 1900
bushels have been secured. Many of
the large-rooted vegetables make the
most of their growth during the cool
months of the autumn. Carrots, pars-
nips and beets are Of the number.
During the summer their energies are
given to the growing of top in which
is stored a large amount of raw ma
terial that is prepared by the sun for
use later in the growth of the root.
When the top begins to ripen and die
it is evidence, if the plant is healthy.
that the foliage is being deprived of
it's store and that the root is profiting
thereby. For this reason such roots
should be left in the ground till the top
is dead, or as long it is safe to
leave them. Here is an instance where
haste makes waste" Parsnips. one
might wonder when they stop grow
ing, or if they keep at it all winter.
What appear to be small roots in the
fall prove to be large fellows wher
dug in the spring.
Bees Carry Clipped Queen.

POLE IN AUTO

ALAMEDA, May 2S.-While automobil-
ing this afternoon in Alameda with his
family and some friends, George N.
Phelps, residing at 1882 Walnut street,
Berkeley. ran the machine into trolley
wire pole on Webster street, near Santa
Clara avenue The impact of the collision
was so great that the six occupants of
the vehicle were thrown out Fortunately
none Of them was seriously injured. One
woman, whose name Phelps refused to
give. was cut about the head and required
a physicians attendance.
The accident occurred at o'clock
Phelps attention had been distracted
from the pilot wheel for moment as he
watched members of the party pass a dog
from the rear to the front seat of the
automobile. He lost control of the vehicle
and it swerved suddenly toward the gut
ter and smashed against the iron pole at
the edge of the sidewalk. Out went Phelps
into the street, followed by his wife, two
children and the man and woman, whose
identity Phelps concealed.
After the party had gathered itself to-
gether the machine was repaired and the
Phelps family, minus the guests, re-
sumed the seriously interrupted journey
home.

POSTOFFICE is NEEDED
President Eugene Hallett
Proposes to Have Estab-
lishment on the Campus

BERKELEY, May 2S-The establish
ment of students postoffice on the
university campus, similar to those in
operation in many Eastern universities,
is proposed by Eugene r. Hallett, who
has just been elected permanent class
president of the class of 1905, Uniyer-
sity of California. Hallett's idea will
be submitted to the college authorities,
and II their consent is obtained the in
novation will be made
The funds for this purpose are avail
able, in part at least, If the class of '05
decides to use its profits, made during
the recent commencement week, for
this purpose, and the sentiment of the
class apparently favors such action.
Members will pass upon it and the Of
ficers will then act.
President Hallett has just completed
the task of preparing a report of the
class expenses and its receipts during
commencement week. The class broke
all records in the matter of profitable
projects which it fostered during that
week, and also for expense incurred in
making notable the various class af-
fairs-the class ball, picnic, extraya-
ganza, programme and other features
There was criticism of the class for
the failure of some of it's members to
graduate" said Hallett to-day, but
there has been none, believe, regard
ing the character of it's class affairs
during commencement week, and we
are highly gratified at the result as
shown by the financial statement The
total expenses incurred are divided as
follows: Programme, s401 so; senior
ball, $209 80; picnic, sS1 so; morning
committee, S140; extravaganza, 1895 rs;
general eXpenSeS S215 Total, 1888 2S.
The total receipts were s2664 95, leav-
ing a net profit of $6S1 81. Of this
amount about $3.50 will be set aside for
permanent class expenses, and | think
$500 may be used to advantage in
establishing a student postoffice. This
would require the use of a number for
each student in the student catalogue
and a corresponding number on his box
in the postoffice. The postoffice would
be in the basement of the new Califor-
MIA Hall, where the cooperative store
is to be moved. 1t is desirable to have
such a postofice at the students head
