touches the source of human emo
ton in the swarming life about

Farm Helm,

thinking. If farmers will arrange
their work or reorganize their meth

around instead of picking up Tom,
Dick and Bill as they stray out into
the country during the rush season of
harvest, pay all they can afford, give
the men good living quarters and help
them to keep out Of the mire of ignor-
ance and Indifference by encouraging
the better side of their nature, they
will not only C a much higher

that every man is entitled to a square

probably it will be found handler to
use the solder in the form of a wire,
though later a bar will be found to
be convenient.
Having secured the outfit the first
thing is to tin the point. To do
this, file the beveled surface down
bright, and heat in the stove (gas,
gasoline, wood or coaD until hot
enough to melt the solder.
Then with a small, fat stick smear
the surfaces with the acid and rub
the end of the solder over them
Gig. -.
If it does not melt freely get the
Golfer hotter. After timing the point
try not to get it so hot it will burn
off; in case you do, however, retin by
the same process.
If the timing is not on, the Golfer
will not pick up solder nor melt it
freely.
For a starter let us try a leaky pan
Sandpaper or scrape clean around the
hole and smear with acid. Take the
Golfer properly heated and set the
point on the hole, applying the solder
as shown in Fig. 2. Watch and see
it run freely (you can tell at once if
1t fuses properly, and remove the
Golfer.
If the Golfer gets cold, take the
other one which should also be in the
fire. The work may be done equally
we'll inside the pan.
If the hole is too large, cut a small
piece Of tin and put yer the hole,
having first used the acid on both
patch and pan. Put the Golfer on top
Of the patch, and when sufficiently
hot run the end Of the solder wire
around the patch. 1t should melt
readily. Hold down with the Golfer
or stick until the solder runs.
This. briefly is the problem of sol
dering. Other applications will be
readily solved once one is familiar
with the tools.
Most metals can be soldered; not,
however, cast iron or aluminium. In
the case of galvanized iron or zinc,
s muriatic acid straight. AS more
skill is acquired, you will be able to
pick UP solder on the point of the
Golfer, when you can buy solder by
the bar.

PROTECT THE HONEY MAKERS
Bees Should Have Neither Wind or
Sunshine During Winter-Empty
Building Is Best.

Put your bees in a sheltered place
until next spring. They should be
sheltered from both the wind and the
sur. Probably the best place to keep
them through the winter is in an
empty building. There is no danger
of bees freezing in the coolest
winter II they are protected from
the wind. When not protected during
a blizzard they are often frozen by
the chilling wind. If the sun strikes
them a cold spell coming immediate
ly after warm weather finds the bees
unprepared for it, Changes in tenn
perature also the bees to eat
more honey than when an even tenn
perature is maintained. Thus, If the
food supply is short, there is danger
Of them starving before spring flow
ers bloom.
When an empty building is not
available straw is often packed around
the hive and held in place by a box a
little larger than the hive. This is
not so satisfactory as the first method
suggested, for bees are often forgot
ten after a snow storm and are smoth-
cred before the snow melts from the
entrance. If they are given plenty of
food and good protection in the fall
and then left alone there will be a Wig
orous swarm ready to make honey in
the spring.

Charles H. Frazier essayed the deli
cate task of tightening up the valve
of his heart and reinforcing the entire
structure.
Examination disclosed the fact that
the aorta was about to rupture. This
would inevitably have resulted in
death.
DR.. Frazier opened the aorta as
near to the heart as possible and
deftly inserted a hollow needle which
had been electrically insulated.
Through this needle DR.. Frazier push
ed and arranged in evenly distributed
coils more than six feet of solid gold
wire. This thread of wire was guided
by the surgeon through the pulsing
alone, and it was built up in the
aorta, at the point Of its weakest dila-
ton, just as a weakened building wall
would De strengthened at its most
perilous point. Thus the heart was
bound round, on the inside, with a
coil of strong but fine wire, caught
and held in place by the surgeons
trained fingers. Then the problem Of
preventing hemorhage arose.
Coagulation of the blood was the
great, the vital end sought. It was
decided to employ electricity to obtain
this purpose. C~oagulation takes place
at both ends of the ~galvanic current
that at the positive pole being small,
black and hard, and that the the mega
tive being larger, softer and of yell
lowish color. 1t happens that the
blood is the very best agency in the
body for the conducting Of electricity,
and when, as in this case, both poles
are inside the sac and near to each
other, a mild current of electricity
will aus vigorous e~lectrolysis. In
applying the current to Braden
rheostat was used to control the flow
and to prevent shock when it should
be cut off.
Thus by coagulation the reinforce
ment Of the heart was accomplished
over the gold wire framework and
nature is building a new wall within
the valve, stopping all leakage and
giving John Braden a new lease of
life.
