POULTRY AND BEE NOTES.

Turkeys are becoming moe profit.
able every year.
What mites lack in size they make
up in numbers; they are therefore very
dangerous enemies Of poultry.
II the pens are kept clean and lice
and mites are absent diseases will
rarely appear in the took.
Bees are the most useful of all in
sects in the fertilization Of fruits.
When all the frames in a hive are
filled with foundations, the cells will
be worker size.
Bees that have a young queen do not
build as much drone comb as when
they have an old one.
"Balling" receives its term from the
manner in which bees cluster about a
queen, in attempting to sting her.
Love lightens poultry labor.
A farm without poultry is a financial
mistake.
Why not turn the cheap eggs into
chickens?

MACHINE READY FOR BUSINESS.
a satisfaction that can not be figured
In dollars and cents. But If there were
800 frames to be drilled for foundation
wires | believe this machine could be
constructed, and the frames punched,
in less time than the work could be
done by hand. The construction will
be sufficiently clear from the Illustra-
ton.
The punch should be shaped like a
chisel edge. and inserted in the ma
chine in such a way that it cuts
squarely across the grain of the wood.
For material in making this | cut up a
sacking or broom needle, and file or
grind 1t to the proper shape. 1t should
be about 1892 or one-eighth inch in
diameter. and two inches in length.
Most Of these pieces of metal, if they
can not be procured from the scrap
pile or old WORKOUT machinery to be
found on nearly every farm, can be
found In the odds and ends at almost
any blacksmith shop. The drilling can
be done by hand or by the biacA smith.

How Bees Embalm.

Bees says Horbis, can embalm
as successfully as could the ancient
Egyptians. 1t often happens in damp
weather that a slug or snail will enter
q bee hive. This is, Of course, to the
unprotected slug q case Of sudden
death. The bees fall upon him and
sting him to death at once. But what
to do with the carcass becomes q vital
question. II left where 1t Is It will
breed a regular pestilence. Now
comes In the cleverness Of the insects.
They set to work and cover 1t with
wax, and there you may see 1t lying
embalmed. just as the nations Of old
embalmed their dead. When II is q
snail that is the intruder. he Is, Of
course, imrenetrable to their sting; 30
they calmly cement his shell with wax
to the bottom Of the hive. Imprison-
