Care of Bees.

Modern hives with good brood cham
hers equal to the laying capacity Of
the queen are considered best for win
tering; the stores are usually sufficient.
When all breeding Is oyer for the sea
son the central combs are often def
cient In stores. Here good. practical
feeder comes into requisition. one that
can be used during the cold nights Of
October and that Will work success
fully with thick strip. Nothing is gain
ed by compelling the bees to evaporate
a large amount of water so late In the
season. For late feeding use about enc
quart of water TO every fourteen
pounds of the best graduated sugar
When early feeding is practiced thin
sirup may be used, but for late feeding
we need the strip very thick. just thin
enough so the bees can work 1t nicely.

The Spelling Bee at BiIlville.

"We regret to report, says the Bill
vile Banner, THAT the Spelling Bee,
as an organization, is no more. 1t died
game, but it died all over And it was
all on account of the new advanced SPELL
ers coming in contact with the old.
When they tackled the word through"
one of the school members spelled it
like Mr.. Carnegie does, and gave him
and President Roosevelt as his authori-
ties, whereupon he was accused of
being a republican agitator who has
had no place in a democratic spelling
bee. He went throughput it was
by way of the window. Then another
chap created disturbance with the
word probably which he tried to short
en- to 'probly.' He will probably re-
cover, although he has three doctors
and trained nurse. There were many
other instances Of lack of. harmony
in the meeting; but it was remarkable
that although they left the 'e' out of
whisky, it went down peaceablep' r.
