This Is an excellent season for
bringing out the family lace box and
going through 1t carefully to see what
treasure it really contains There are
an infinite number of ways In which
bits Of lace may be employed Not
the least of these is a garniture on
ones new millinery. Some Of the very
smartest hats are to be trimmed with
lace or made entirely of it. White
lace is especially favored. and viii Be
seen on picturesque bonnets as well
as on smart walking toques. One OF
the new designs is a bonnet made OF
white lace and trimmed with ruchings
Of narrow black velvet. The only 9th
er garniture is a posy OF tiny pinl
roses. A toQue of black straw has I
jabot of white lace going up the from

While the percentage Of deaths from
tuberculosis compared with other dis

up about feet on the post, then
down and once around a three-quarter-
inch gas pipe, and then 15-pound
weight is tied to the end of the rope
The gas pipe is one straight line tight
ly screwed together and placed In
brackets so that 1t is free to turn.
There is a crank on one end OF the
pipe. The iron weight balances the
weight of the trough SO that by turn
ing the crank the trough can be raised
or lowered very easily. Boards IL
inches wide are then nailed on each
side of the post, leaving space OF
about ten inches through which the
trough can be raised and lowered. The
inner one Of these boards Is part OF
the hayrack. The grain is fed first
and is put in whilo the trough is up
AS the sheep cannot get to the feed
while the trough Is up, one can take
plenty of time in putting out the feed
and then place 1t all In reach Of the
sheep in a few moments by lowering
the troughs. AS soon as the grain Ii
eaten, the troughs are raised and the
sheep reach through under the trough
for the hay. The lower part of ths
hayrack comes out even with the out
side Of the trough. SO that the ha,
rolls out where the sheep can reach !
easily. The troughs along the outsid
of the barn are made In the same man
ner except that they are placed be
tween two upright pieces. They ar
lust inside the line of posts.
These troughs have been In use 10
four years. There is no danger c
catching sheep under them and CHI
king them to death. but after til
sheep become accustomed to being fe
in them there Is practically no tro'

Generally speaking. cheap contrap-
lions are an abomination In the bee
yard. but there are times when some
thing which can be gotten up in
hurry and at a small cost will be
appreciated.
In preparing such hives, however
one should see to it that spacing Is
kept right and nothing but standard
frames should be used. Then when
YOU get around to it you can simply
transfer your frames to another hive
and nothing will be lost, writes l.. c.
Wheeler in the Michigan Farmer.
The hive body can be made by sim
pig mailing four boards together, leav-
ing the ends three-Quarters inch low
or than the sides. Then form a rab
bet by mailing on a strip three-quarter
inch wide and three-eights inch thick
| ON the outer edge OF the end boards
The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1911-06-27

mailing it on with the thin edge up.
The hive should be just the right
depth so that when the frames are
hung in the rabbets they will hang
with the bottoms Just on a level with
the bottom of the hive.
A cheap bottom-board may be made
by mailing four strips together. leav-
ing one of the ends an inch lower
than the sides and the other end.
Set this on the ground and fill with
sawdust or clean sand and you have
bottom board that will serve the
purpose just as well as more ex-
pensive one. A very good cover may
be made by cutting a wide board just
the right length and mailing strips on
each end to keep 1t from splitting.
