KEEPING ANTS OUT OF HIVES
Ordinary Table Turned Upside Down
With Empty Inverted Tomato
Cans Will Do the Wor k.

To the numerous inquiries as to
how to keep ants out of hives, why
not take Josh Billings advice as to
bedbugs-"just kill 'em all'? The
best way to kill ants is with the oft
repeated remedy, /. e., bisulphide OF
carbon. However, there are places
which. for one reason or another, 1t
is almost impracticable to kill off the
ants; and then the apiarist needs a
hive-stand that will exclude them.
The illustration shows one of my
hive-stands complete and ready to have
the hive placed upon it, writes J. NJ.

upside down, and an empty tomato
can, with the top melted off, inverted
over each table-leg. The ants can
crawl up the table-leg and all around
Oh the inside of the can, but they cam
not make the turn around the lower
edge of the cans, and come up on the
outside of cans and thus reach the
hive.
The space between the table-leg
and inside of cans must be at least
half an inch; but the cans rest on the
ends of the legs.
Just take an old super or box. Cut
four pieces 2x2x12, and nail one in
each corner. Round off the projecting

twenty girls who lived in the same

affair that would be somewhat differ

going to give rather costly wedding
gifts, as the groom was minister
and going to take his wife to far
away western missionary field. Each
girl brought bowl and spoon and
such a variety. They delegated two
of the girls to do the buying SO AZ to
have as few duplicates as possible.
It was an afternoon thimble party and
each brought one dish towel to Fem

TO REMOVE STUMPS EASILY
Where Time ls No Object Hole May
Be Bored Through Center and
Fire Built to Burn 1t.

An easy way to remove stumps,
where time is not an object, is to dig
a trench beside the stump and then
to bore a diagonal hole through the
stump so that the lower end of the
hole will be near the top of the trench
and the upper end some distance
above the ground. Build fire in the
trench and partially cover it so that
the fame will draw through the auger
hole like it would through a flue. AS
soon as the fire is started a draft is
created through the auger hole and
this helps to fire the stump much
more rapidly. This method requires
no great equipment and will be found
effective though it takes time. If one
is SO situated that he desires to clear
a considerable area Of stumps the use
of the stump puller would be the more
economical method although it may
