Farm Beekeeping.

There are two best ways of hand
ling bees for box honey. In the first
place You must not be afraid. If you
can control yourself you can control
the bees; If you don't behave they

In the spring there are the queen,
twenty thousand to fifty thousand
workers and from a pint to a quart
OF drones or male bees in each Five.
Put on twenty-four boxes when they

Will spoil the crop of honey. IL you
can, remove the cause OF the swarm
ing fever. Take out four frames in
the centre OF the hive, and put in four
empty ones. Another way is TO let
them swarm once and cut out the re-
naming queen cells.
From six hives not swarmlng four
hundred pounds OF honey were gath
cred. From eleven allowed TO swarm
once only two hundred pounds were
harvested.

A FELINE HEROINE

During the fire in the Tyner Block.
Hartford City, Ind, there was an un-
usual exhibition of feline instinct,
says the Syracuse Standard.
While the flames and smoke filled
the room cat. which had a family
OF four in the rear OF the store, made
use of the fire escape in resculng her
family. She carried two kittens
across counters and shelves to reach
a window. Here she left them and
Went after the other two.
The mother cat was drenched on
her return trip, but safely carried the
third to the landing. The fourth was
abandoned after she had made final
effort to go back into the store. The
hremen, noticing her efforts. rescued
the fourth.

Carrots For Horses.

1t is not alone nor chiefly the nu-
triton in carrots that makes them
valuable feed for horses and other
stock in winter. They have an ad-
mirable effect in keeping the bowels
open, loosening the bile. ana thus
promoting healthful circulation of
the blood. A stalled horse kept on
dry feed through the winter becomes
bilious, just as human beings do who
lead sedentary lives We have not
got into the habit of dosing horses
for biliousness, nor need We A
mess of carrots daily. with half the
uusal amount of grain, will keep a
horse in better working order than
oats without the roots. In most
places carrots can be bought by the
quantity at about half the price of
oats, and pay the grower well at
that.-Weekly Witness.

NfuIcliing.

In mulching fruit trees be careful
not to make resorts for the mice.
To avoid the disaster of girdled stems
raise a slight mound of earth about
the tree, beat 1t smooth with the back
of the spade, and keep the mulch at
least a foot or two away. Another
mistake is in making these mounds
of chunks of turf or of sod, the grass
of which, with the crevices between,
offers a strong invitation for the mice
to enter. The earth used for such
mounds should be in a pulverized
state, and then be beaten smooth and
compact.--New York Witness.

"weathered" Farm Implements.

1t is full time that moving ma
chimes, harvesters and other horse
implements which cost money to buy
should be left In the field to obtain
the benefit of the fall and winter
weather. Plows and harrows will
of course, be needed yet, and these
will be kept under cover for awhile,
but can be left out later after the
fall plowing has ceased. This prac-
tice OF fall weathering OF implements
is quite general In many farming sec
tions, and is encouraged from year to
year by large class of farmers. It
insures thorough weathering of the
wood and produces in the metal parts
OF the machinery a fine brown color,
called by some scoffer rust The
greatest satisfaction from this prac-
tice, 1t seems, is derived by the
implement sellers as a class.
There is spirit of economy. too,
in this weathering" as wooden build
ings in which to house the imple-
ments cost money and at the same
time the odd moments needed to
construct them can better be utilized
by the farmer in sitting around the
stove in the village store telling stor-
les or commiserating with a neigh
bor whose wife has scolded him for
not purchasing her a sewing machine.
