COMB BUILDING.
Effect of Using Old Comb in the
Hive.

The using of the old comb is OBJ
iected to by many on the ground that
in a state of nature the swarm goes
into an empty cavity and builds, first
all worker comb, and toward the last
drone comb. We believe the queen
prefers to lay eggs in worker comb,
and that the bees build worker comb
to please her. When they are so far
ahead of her as to see that she has all
she can fill, they go back to building
the large cells. Because of this we do
not believe in giving the bees part Of
their combs already built; neither do
we think it right to give them, as some
do. half sheets or one-third sheets Of
foundation. If you give them full
sheets, they cannot build drone combs.
But if you give them a good portion,
say half of the combs, already built,
and the rest of the space empty, they
will build more drone comb than with
any other method.

Thanksgiving Decorations.

There are a great many inexpen-
sive table decorations that add to the
attractiveness of the Thanksgiving
table. A very pretty custom is to
have some simple little gift for each
Of the guests. The room itself can
be decorated with fall foliage and
with cornstalks or sheaves of grain.
Of course, these things will appeal
more particularly to the women on
the farm than the men folks, and the
thing to do is but to keep them in the
dark as to what is being done. The
one thing that should be on hand, if
there are any children present, is the
Jack o'Lantern made out of pump
kin. 1t is almost as much part Of
the Thanksgiving dinner as the tur-
key itself, to the children.-Farming.

Where Legislature Meets Every Year.
There are now only six states in

SANITATION ON HOG FARM.
Is of the Utmost Importance in Pro.
ducton of Good Hogs.

If there is one place IN which SAM
tary conditions should be kept right,
it is on the hog farm. The hog yard
of the ordinary farm is not place
that suggests altar of roses. 1t should
however be made as sanitary as our
best horse stables or cow stalls. The
hog is one of the cleanest of animals
if conditions be made to his liking.
He does not prefer filth, and his only
suggestion of dirtiness lies in his love
for wallowing in the mud on hot
day. The mud bath is comfort TO
him. Hogs are not the only creatures
that take mud baths. Otherwise the
hog is clearly animal. Those that
have provided a clean water bath for
him say that he takes to the water
with a good deal Of pleasure. We
have not seen this proved, but we
have had enough experience with the
hog to know that he likes clean things
about him and will work hard carry
ing clean straw to his bed. The best
way to keep disease from the hog
farm is to keep it clean, declares
Farmers Review, though this will not
always do it. If disease germs are
brought on the boots of visitors
to a clean farm they may work just
as great havoc as they would on q
dirty farm. That is not, however, q
good argument against sanitation.

WORK THE STALLION.
He Will Prove Better Sire IT Given
Regular Exercise.

II farmers realized the extent OF
lions that are kept without work from
one years end to the other, and dur
ing the season exceedingly fat, they
would refuse hereafter to patroniZe
any stallion that has not been worked
during the entire year except perhaps
during "the season."
The horse is built for work; other
wise he is of no value. Hence, if we
are to maintain him in health and
yigor, he must have exercise-open
air exercise when he is young and
work after he is old enough. Only
in this way can constitutional vigor
be maintained. The draft horse espe.
develop the draft instinct, in other
words, the pulling instinct, except by
actual work; nor can it be maintained
in any other way. If a stallion is so
vicious that he cannot be worked he
is not fit for a sire
There is no difficulty in working a
stallion, using any kind of ordinary
care. lie should be treated just like
any other work animal on the farm
should work when there is work to
do; work just as hard as any gelding
or brood mare on the place.
If you have been disappointed in a
stallion after keeping him in the
usual way for year, put him to
work and you will ordinarily find that
you will have no complaints of a lack
of surety the next year, declares Wal
lace's Farmer, unless there is some
constitutional defect. He will not
only be more sure, but the colts will
be of superior quality. 1t is simply
folly to keep a stallion in idleness
nine months in the year, then load
him up with fat, and sometimes with
dope, during the season, and expect
to secure the proper number Of colts
or colts of the right quality.

For Celebration
of Great Festival

AS soon as President Roosevelt an
nounces on just which Thursday
Thanksgiving will fall, preparations
for this one purely American fes-
tival begin. The traditions of this
day are not wrapped in mystery,
or entangled with myths and leg
ends so as to render the origin
almost impossible. On this great day
devoted to public worship, and family
gatherings, it is well to count up our
own individual mercies, and remember
how much better off we are than the
next fellow. I am often reminded OF
the young girl, who looked with envy
upon a span of fine horses attached to
a brougham, in which girl OF about
her own age was seated. Just as the
carriage stopped the girl who had
wished for just such luxury, saw
pair of crutches beside the fair car
rage maiden, and she thought, Give
me my own power of walking and she
may keep the horses" So it is with
all of us, our own cross, whatever it
may be, is best.
But I started out to tell about
unique plan for celebrating this great
Thanksgiving day. In family In
which there are four school children,
each child has been given date back
in the early annals of our country and
has been told to provide the amuse-
ment and describe Thanksgiving day
Of that period. This will insure some
historical knowledge and it is certain
ly a good idea. Space forbids going
into all the details of this plan as it
is to be worked out, but these are the
dates selected: 1921, 1923, 1876 and
1888. Costumes are to be worn to
correspond and the whole character Of
the dinner is to be colonial" Tin cups
will be substituted for the porringers
of pewter in which to serve clam
broth, tame turkey will suffice for the
wild bird, but there is to be domes-
ticated duck and corn bread. Cali
fornia will supply the grapes, instead
of their being wild" as history says
they should be, and they furnished the
dessert of the illustrious Pilgrim
fathers. Pan-dowdy will also be
served, made after famous old recipe
handed down for generations. There
are to be four distinct table center
pieces, as each child is to furnish one.
One boy was seen in the toy depart
ment searching for an Indian" doll,
so l presume good old "Massasoit" is
to figure in this really novel way.

To Preserve Wells.

Wells in order to be kept in shape
should be worn always with the same
hat and not interchanged. In this
way the veil becomes accustomed to
the shape of the brim and can always
be made to fit evenly and without
folds upon the hat. The octagon mesh
is now preferred to the plain diamond
figure in the single thread Veilings.
Even in the dotted wells single
thread is more becoming than any in
tricate design. and a heavy coarse
thread is also to be avoided.
