A CoMB-CARRYING CART.
Arrangement Which One Bee Keeper
Has Found Convenient.

l send you photo of my cart and
fixtures for conveying the combs of
honey from the hives to the table in
the extracting room, writes an Illinois
correspondent of Bee Culture. The
raised removable platform in the
cart on which the two boxes of combs
stand has shelf or bridge projecting
on the further side between the cart
wheel and handle, making connection
with low table in the extracting
room, so that the boxes of combs
standing on boards with casters under
the corners are easily pushed through

the opening onto the table near the
uncapping-can. This table, as well as
a part of the cart platform, has a
raised edge to keep the casters from
running off. A pin, seen in front of
the comb boxes, holds them securely
on the cart.
The table top should he large
enough to allow the two boxes Of
empty combs to be run out onto the
cart after receiving the full ones. A
light sliding door on the inside of the
room is easily handled from either
side The hinged door seen is fastened
on the inside.

PRODUCTIVE POWER OF
WESTERN CANADA SOIL
Winnipeg Correspondence.

Winnipeg Correspondence.
There has never been any who have
doubted the productiveness of the soil
of Western Canada, but there are
sometimes found those who question
the fact of its superiority. During the
past season it has been shown that
in grain raising qualities it possessed
the very best. The late spring pre-
vented grain being sown in many
cases before the middle of May. Yet,
large percentage of that sown at that
time produced excellent yields. Had it
not been for the frost early in August,
which visited most of the north half
of the continent, there would have
been a magnificent yield in every dis
trict in Western Canada. Throughout
the Southern Alberta district where
about 100000 acres was sown to win
ter wheat the yield will be enormously
large. There are vast tracts of valu-
able grain growing land in Western
Canada that are available for home
steads, the Canadian Government Civ
ing 160 acres free, and entry may be
made by proxy, by any near relative,
thus saving considerable cost to the
American who may have entry made
in this way. Any Canadian Govern
ment Agent will give you the partic-
ulars.
Your correspondent has just re-
ceived the following letter from Craik,
Saskatchewan, which bears out the
statement made in the first part OF
this letter.
"Craik, Sask., Aug. 1907.

which we brought with us from Min

We never got half as many flowers on
it in Minneapolis, even during Septem-
ber and October, although we had
more time to attend to it there"

of the great productive power of the
soil here in Saskatchewan, Canada.

mates to Keep Hens with Big Combs.

In the more northern sections OF
the United States it is a mistake to
breed hens that have thin big combs,
as they often freeze, and this is to

protection. Nor should such fowls be
purchased as a foundation stock.
There are many varieties of fowls
that either have the heads covered
with feathers or have a rose comb,
which is less likely to freeze on ac.
count of the blood circulating more
rapidly than it can in the fiabby comb
1t is current opinion that fowls that
have their combs frozen are rendered
for time unsatisfactory producers
of eggs. A fowl with a frozen comb
is an unsightly object at best, and
since it can be avoided it should be-
If fowls with such combs are kept
they will have to be watched on the
very cold days and kept in out of the

tons: Half pound beef suet; half
pound bread crumbs powdered; yolks
of three hard-boiled eggs; two table,
spoonfuls sweet majoram, sweet basil.
and ground mace mixed; four small
onions minced, season to taste with
salt and cayenne. Stun this mixture
into boned cavity; make cuts in meat
and stun them also. Tie into shape;
put into braising pan; pour over pint
of port wine; cover tightly and bake

SERVING Fruit.

Fruit may be served on large
round, fiat dish, or in fruit bowl or
fruit dish. 1t is very pretty to use
the natural leaves, If they can be pro-
cured, for garnishing the dish. The
fruit should be passed and each per-
son be given fruit plate and fruit
knife and finger bowl. The finger
bowl is placed on the fruit plate and
should be lifted and set to ones left
before helping ones self to fruit. A
nice way to eat an orange Is to cut 1t
in half and eat with spoon. Plums,
peaches and pears are eaten from the
fingers; bananas are eaten from the
skin. Pineapple is usually pared, the
eyes taken out, the flesh picked apart
with a silver fork, placed in fruit
dish and sugared and then served in
dessert plate and eaten with spoon
or q fork.
