Ten months ago, or just after the
Fourth of March, 1909, the papers of
the country and the people were cla-
morous for change of the date of
Inauguration of the President of the
United States. Thousands of people
from all parts of the country had
started to Washington but the ma
1ority of them were in snow drifts
and packs on the railroads. Those
who had started rom Annapolis, only
thirty miles distant, were twenty-four
hours late. New Workers who, or
dinarily, were only five hours from
Washington did not arrive until after
the Inauguration and would not have
come then if they could have gotten
home on a shorter route. The pre-
Raration for magnificent pageant
was fiat failure but now the people
of the country have forgotten the
discomfort and everything pertaining
tothe proverbially blizzardlike Fourth
Of March, and those who wager there
will be no change in the Inauguration
day will be pretty sure winners.

From every meeting of prominent
farmers who are not politicians, from
every Grange where farmers, who
read and have advanced ideas as to
the needs of the State, meet and dis
cuss live interests, the opinion is en-
dorsed that Delaware, and especially
lower Delaware, must have improved
roads. This is a growing sentiment
IN Kent county and one which the
present Levy Court would be wise in
heed ng; for, as sure as day follows
night, the political advisers and
those in control of that body will
have to answer to the people next
fall for failure to provide the meth
ods to carry out the law which the
last Legislature provided to start the
building of better roads in Kent
county. 1t is an issue that will out
weigh the demands of a politician
anxious only to grasp the fruits of
his aspirations for high office, for the
people are more alive to their in
ferests than they were twenty years
ago, and they know how to get what
they want Milford Chronicle.

If there was ever a pronounced
sentiment for annexation on the part
Of Canada it is non-existent now.
The word" annexation" is approbrious
n Canada Just as the word alliance"
with England is obnoxious to some
American minds because Washington
said "beware of entangling alli-
znces. F." But eliminating the words
" annexation" and "alliance" des-
tiny points to closer and closer re-
Iations of all English speaking
peoples" Prof. Goldey Smith in a
recent reply to a misstatement in a
Canadian paper, said: cit seems
shat l have been reported as advocet-
ing annexation. " Let me assure
you that l have studiously avoided
the use of a term which implies sub
mission on the part of Canada to the
United States. That which, l think,
seems the dictate of nature, and likely
as such to come to pass, is the vol
untary union of the two great
Engli-h-speaking communities on this
continent for their mutual benefit and
security. Social fusion seems to be
already pretty complete.

The energy and helpfulness of the pu-
pills is a lesson worthy of study and
consideration. They keep their own
rooms in order. make their own fires un
grates) and assist i'm the dining room
also. BY early rising and systematic
endeavor they are able to do all these
things and il seems to freshen their
minds for their school books.
1 have long INDUCED the opinion that
the education OF a boy or girl means
their preparation for self-sustaining ac-
auaintance with the active duties OF later
life. after their school days are over As
the world progresses there will be nee
essarily some sustained connection with
industrial education, and one reason
why the Tech school in Atlanta is be-
come so popular is because the pupils
are equipped for positions that will start
them off promptly towards making liv-
ing, as soon as they receive their di-
plomas.
All study and no play will make dull
pupils and while domestic service Is
not play II is a diversion that gives
needful rest to the minds of pupils, and
they get a disciplinary training that is
helpful and instructive when the COM
bine such domestic industry with Ineir
studies. Some of the girls OF the South
ern Female college are able to abate a
good deal of their expenses with ser
vices. and il means everything to them,
because they could not secure these ad-
vantages without such abatement.
AS all take a part, there is no sense
of inferiority or mental employment, and
the president told me of the success of
some of these self-sustaining pupils that
was really phenomenal
l had a good audience, and told them
something about conservation, theme
that seems to be overwhelming In scope
and interest It gives me great pleasure
to see young girls happy faces. 1 do
not think there is anything more beauti-
full in the world than the face of a
sweet, wide-awal1e, happy and useful
young girl.
They are the salt of the earth, the
very best influences that make for the
best things in human life.
LAGRANGE has wonderful future
ahead of il as a railroad center. L can
not therefore. wonder at the spirit or
enterprise which enlivens their interest
in their fine collegiate institutions.
The citizens cannot AFFORD TO do less
than rebuild and generously sustain
their colleges at this point, because 1t
means unmeasured progress and certain
returns in commercial prosperity.

The main requirements of a good poul-
try house are good ventilation and pro-
lection from storms and cold winds.
Hens will not lay when weather condi-
tions prevent them from scratching and
exercise. Many poultry houses have
proven failures because the variations in
night and day temperature were too
great. Prominent authorities on the
building of poultry houses state that ven
tilation can best be furnished by leaving
one end of the house open or covered
with burlap or canvas, using no glass
windows unless necessary for light. the
idea of building a warm house should be
abandoned 1t is shelter that is needed
The house should be built in such way
that the fowls will not roost near the
open front where they would be exposed
to winds; nor should it face the prevail
ing winds. A long house is more expen-
sive to build, for a given capacity, than
one more nearly square. A long narrow
house is also a cold house, having more
exposed surface for a given capacity than
a square house.
The size of house is necessary for a
certain flock will vary in different sec
tons. Where there is little or no snow
and where the fowls can be outdoors ev-
cry day in the year. two square feet of
floor space per fowl will be ample. Where
the climate is such that the fowls will
seek shelter part of the year. rather than
go outdoors on the range. considerably
more space should be provided, say four
to five square feet per fowl The idea
should not be to crowd them so much
that their activity will be interfered with.
Whether the shelter Is provided by en-
larging the house or providing cheap
scratching sheds, is immaterial. Two

Take stout piece of wire with hoos

When frost forms about the inside OF
the hive, the vapor from the bees, to-
gether with the congealing of it in the
remote parts of the hive, gives a BLUSH
white appearance to the surface Of the
combs which by the inexperienced, is
often mistaken for mold. - 90
The bees also must be kept dry. A
substantial hive, with a tight roof, will
keep out the rain.
A few inches of dry, porous material
such as chaff or ground cork packed
between the cluster and the roof, will
have good effect on keeping the bees
comfortable, allowing the moisture to
pass off slowly.
A draught would be injurious. We ad-
wise a wind-break of some sort on the
north and west sides of the hives. Also
guard against the mice, and have the
hive entrances shallow and long, rather
than round
Do not neglect the bees; see to it that
they have food enough and to spare.
Bees differ from other farm stock in
this respect, that they can he given their
full supply of food at once and they
will help themselves as their need re-
quires. Plenty of good food above the
cluster is what takes them through every
time.

good roost may be made from material
two by two inches, then slightly round
ed on the edges.
Poultry keeping is most successful
where the colony system prevails. The
colony system means the housing of
fowls in small houses, preferably por-
table, where the fowls have free range.
The chief advantage Is that the fowls
are more active or buster than when
confined in yards; second, there Is less
danger from outbreaks of disease, as
it is possible to keep the houses on
clean ground by moving them OCCASION
ally; and third, the fowls require less
feeding and care, as they pick up con-
siderable food on the range. Another adj
vantage of this system Is that the fowls
will rid the farm of many injurious
insects, such as grasshoppers. Then, the
colony system will fit in with crop ro-
tatons, and for part of the year the
fowls will live on the stubble fields.
The Illustrations shown represent a
successful colony house used at the
Utah experiment station. The house has
a cloth window, and the traps are very
convenient, as they open from the out
side.

Spring Bee Escape.

the bees. Bees usually move toward
the warmer part of the hive. If the
sun shines on one side of the hive in
cool or cold weather, the cluster goes
to that side. l have often had colonies
eat out all the honey in one end of the
hive, and leave the other end full.
As to passageways through the combs.
there is a difference of opinion. How
ever, my experience leads me to con-
clude that they are unnecessary. 1t is
true that they afford an opportunity for
an outer portion of the cluster to reach
an adjacent inner comb space If the
bees happen to be located directly oyer
the passageway and the weather is
warm, otherwise they serve no purpose.
/ have settled down for my own
part on using wooden blanket or
carpet cover, and on top of 1t, porous and
absorbent material such as sawdust,
chaff, cut straw and leaves.
The wooden material next the bees
conveys the moisture to the other side
of the piece of blanket or carpet where
contact with the absorbent material
causes it to pass upward, so rendering
it harmless to the bees.
/ suppose there is the slightest pos
sible upward ventilation, sort of slow
percolation of air and moisture, but 1t
works well, provided the entrance of
the hive is not too narrow and con-
tracted.
Bees inhale vapor, and when this va
por strikes the cold walls of the hive 1t
sometimes congeals into frosts, melting
into water and running out of the hive
as soon as the weather rs warm enough.
Sometimes it merely condenses into
water and runs out of the hive as soon
as enough is collected. Whether cold or
warm, this vapor is being sent off all
the time, only when it is warm enough
it does not condense into water or ice.
1t very often occurs that the entrance
of hives becomes clogged with dead
bees. and the colonies do not have ven
tilation enough. One of the indications

PREPARING BEES FOR WINTER
BY r. G.. Herman

In considering the requisites for sue
cessful bee wintering, it may be we'll to
note that success is frequently hinged
upon very small things. The neglect
in attending to the small affairs of life
is sure to bring about disaster.
Bees starve to death with honey in
the hives, and sometimes that within
two inches of them, from the fact that
during cold weather bees form them
selves into one compact body, and when
all the honey is consumed within their
reach, unless the weather is warm
enough for them to change their loca-
ton from one part of the hive to an
other, in order to reach their stores,
they will surely starve with plenty of
feed near Them
This is usually the case with single
walled hives, hence the option 80 chaff

COLONY HOUSES FOR POULTRY

There are several reasons for this. Fowls
of the heavier breed cannot fly high, and
those of the lighter breeds frequently
injure the soles of their feet in jump
ing from high perches. Roosts should
be made all, the same heights; for If
they are made some higher than others,
the birds will all flock to the highest
ones and crowd, which is undesirable.
When dropping boards are used they
should be low down, to permit of easy
cleaning. They should be made or
matched lumber and be 20 inches wide
for one perch and three feet wide for
two perches, the first perch placed at
least ten inches from the wall,
