Around the Honey Makers.

Comb honey that is to be sent TO
a distant market should be shipped
before cold weather, since the combs
become extremely fragile when cold.

Of your stock step by step and i'm

The young bees. hatched from Aug.

wise to see that much brood is ready,

PRETTY APPROACH TO A FARMHOUSE.
the standpoint of convenience and of
securing an attractive landscape effect,
deserve special consideration.
A well thought out plan is the first
requisite to get these results, as in
the absence of a definite scheme seri-
Gus mistakes are likely to be made.
This plan should include the location
of buildings, drives, walks, trees,
shrubbery, and every other feature
which contributes either to the con-
venience or ornamentation of the place
1t should be developed with the
larger relationships always in mind.
The location Of the house and farm
buildings is the first consideration.
Even though it happens that some or
all of these are already on the ground,
q plan for their location is Important.
New farm homes are erected to sup
plant old ones and other new farm
structures are added, which make prac-
ticable q general consideration Of the
entire building scheme. Material i'm
provement can often be made in a
farmstead by a readjustment as new
buildings are put up, though the best
results are obtained where things are
planned right from the start.

LADY SHowYoU
SOME EGG LAYER.
Made Remarkable Showing at This
Laying Contest.

Laying Contest.
At the Missouri national egg lay
ing contest at the Missouri State
poultry experiment station, white
Plymouth Rock hen, Lady Showyou,
seems to be pretty much the whole
show. In the first ten months of the
contest she laid 237 eggs, and stands
a good chance to surpass the world s
record for one year This hen weighs
six pounds and has laid FIVE times
her own weight in eggs in ten
months. BY measure she has laid
almost a bushel OF eggs. She has
consumed forty-eight pounds OF dry
mash, thirty-two pounds OF grain
and two pounds of grit, bone and
shell. This hen has not been broody
during the year nor has she molted.
1t costs but little more to feed
and house Lady Showyou than the
ordinary hen, and IL a farmer or
poultry breeder owned a flock OF
hens like her, his profits would be
from six to ten times as great as
would be the case with ordinary
hens that average only eighty eggs
a year.
While Lady Showyou is the ex-
ception and not the rule, it is posi-
Die LOT every farmer ana poultry
man to improve his flock and in
crease his profits if he will persist
emily follow a system OF selection.
Lady Showyou is not a chance bird;
some hens lay more eggs than 9TH
ers and it was after years of breed
ing from hens that were selected for
their heavy laying that a hen capable
of producing 237 eggs in ten months
was bred. The practice of building
up heavy laying strain by selection
may be carried on in every poultry
yard just as effectually as at any ex-
pertinent station, and no poultryman,
no matter how limited his opera
tions, can afford to breed from q
hen about whose egg laying record
he knows nothing.
In the Missouri contest there is
one Hamburg, one single comb white
Leghorn, one rose comb black Mi
norca and five barred Plymouth
Rocks that have never laid an egg,
and there are several other breeds
that have laid less than half a dozen.
There was no selection OF best lay
ers in the flocks from which these
nonproducers were bred.

Hang Up tho Seythe.

1t is undesirable to leave a scythe
lying about yet it is equally difficult
to find a suitable place to hang one
To hang it on a nail is to risk dulling
the blade. while to hang it in the
crotch Of tree is detrimental to the
trees welfare. However, there is a
way. Obtain V shaped crotch from
an old limb, cutting one fork about a
foot in length and the other about six
inches. The rear side Of the long fork
is then trimmed down slightly so that
it can be nailed uprightly to a fat
surface. This will form a permanent
place for the scythe, where the blade
will not get dulled nor a fruit tree be
injured.-Farm and Fireside.

This comes by the way OF Harris

Chas. A. Fisher, of North Fifteenth

running in the woods besides the

gun, yelled in loud voice: "Wait a

stopped and looked at him till he
loaded his gun and shot 1t, making
