this way the whole apiary can be
gone over in an hour or so and
the supers piled up and wheel
ed into the honey house. before
the bees begin to fly.
BY delaying the removing of the
supers until cool weather one may
avoid the possible development of
eggs, from the wax moth, among
the combs after they are deprived
of the bees.
The Uniting Of Small Colonies
Colonies that have not sufficient
honey or bees to keep them
through the winter should be
united without delay. This can be
accomplished by putting two ~
more together thus by this way it
is possible to have good colonies
in the spring instead Of hives Of
empty combs and dead bees.
To unite spread out newspaper
on top of the hive containing the
COlOny NntIt y Ou WIEN AnC ubit'N
colony to stand; and then one Of
the other weak colonies should by
placed on top of it. When the
weather grows warmer the bees
Will eat or gnaw holes through
the paper, and the two colonies
will become one flying out through
the entrance of the lower hive.
Providing Stores for the Unsupplied
In a few days select combs con-
tanning sufficient stores for whit
er and remove all other combs,
The colony should be confined to
one hive BODY for winter.
Some colonies as usual are lack
ing in stores in which case feed
ing may be done with just as good
results as though they had them
selves made ample preparations
The best way TO feed is to secure
the surplus heavy combs from
colonies which have more honey
than they need and exchange them
for those from the colonies hav-

October is here; it is now time
to get the bees ready for winter
as the honey crop is entirely over.
Perhaps there are still some supers
on containing fall honey, or there
may be supers on with combs in
that have been run through the
extractors and returned to the
hives for cleaning. 1t is best to take
these off before the end of the
month. 1t is a good plan to re-
move the supers on cool or
frosty morning.
In obtaining this end some use
horoscopes while this is prefer
able to smoke, il requires much
lifting of supers and handling of
the escape-boards. When removing
supers by the cold plan; wait un-
till there is a cool or cold spell,
and the mercury sinks nearly to
the freezing point. The bees will
then have congregated in the
brood-chambers and it will be
necessary for the bee-keeper to
arise early in the morning. The
supers may then be taken off free
from bees requiring only one lift
ing of the super with not single
comb to handle separately. / have
practiced this plan for years. In

We hope that no man who has
pc responsibility OF taking care
cows is going to get so excited
yer politics that he will forget
b make preparations for winter.
There is such a thing as over
Ding political enthusiasm. 1t is a
retty good plan TO remember that
fter November 5th the politicians
gho are running for office will
lot care half so much about you
Is they do now.
The COW will be n great deal
etter friend after election and it
Will pay 10 give her every chance
possible to make good as real
Friend. If the barn needs a new
.loor or the shed needs fixing, it is
hone too early to begin thinking
bout it at least.
A COW needs dry comfortable
quarters and plenty Of good
wholesome feed. The question of
|auarters is quite as important as
The question of feed. 1t is poor
Economy to feed COWS grain and
then freeze it out of them. 1t takes
n whole lot of feed to maintain the
heat in the animal body even
Under normal conditions and if the
low does not have comfortable
Gers or if she has to drink ice
water in the winter time much Of
the feed which she would other
wise use for milk must be used to
keep her warm. This is something
I'VE cannot get around. The COW is
a selfish old thing after all and
is going to take care of herself
before she thinks of her owner and
we can't blame her at all.
Barns can be kept too warm. AS
the winter time are poorly venti-
lated although not necessarily so.
Warm air is. not necessarily impure
air and cold air is not necessarily
pure air. The temperature Of the
stable should be above freezing
but not very far above. The stable
should be 50 well ventilated that
about the same temperature will
DE maintained all the time. Ii
possible have the cows on the
south side of the barn where
there is plenty of sunlight. This will
help to keep the COW barn at the
proper temperature and sun
light is a great destroyer of germ
life.
We mentioned above the drink
ing of ice water by the cows in
the winter time. Many cows are
y mpelled to drink out of holes
in the ice because it is easier for
the owner to chop ice than fix
q wind mill or pump water. OF
course this is all right if man
can afford it but letting the cows
drink ice water is after all lux
ury. The COW either does not drink
enough water to allow her to do
her best work or she drinks so
much that her body is chilled and
it takes a whole lot of expensive
feed to warm it up. You can't put
a chunk of ice in the parlor heat
ing stove without cooling it off
and requiring just that much more
coal to warm things up again.
The same is true with COW. Her
body is supposed to remain at
certain temperature and if it is
cooled off she is going to use
your feed to warm it up again.
\ We don't believe in warming the
water for the cows, however, ex-
cept to take the chill off. The

ing the deficit in their supplies,
although it is not always safe to
depend on this way. The wise
apiarist will look out for heavy
combs during the surplus season
and set aside or store in his honey
house sufficient number to
feed all light colonies. Each colony
should have no less than rs pounds
of good well ripened honey. 1t
should be capped or sealed over
as uncapped honey in a cellar will
take on moisture and become thin.
II unsealed honey is kept in
warm dry place it will not sour.
A large quantity Of unsealed
honey is not proper food for
winter, for the reason that if it is
on the out side of the cluster it
will take on moisture from the
air or the breath of the bees, and
become very thin sometimes sour
ing. A few pounds of unsealed
honey in the center of the cluster
will do no harm as the bees will
keep it warm and dry until used.
Amount OF Wax In Old Combs
The amount of wax to be obtain
ed from old combs depends on
whether the combs are dry, or
contain honey and pollen. l have
obta;pa6 6O nar oant 30 ,Yoxx L.,
weight; but, as rule it runs a
little less than this. New combs
yield a much larger proportion of
wax by weight than old ones. One
experienced in that line can get an
average of 1 1-2 pounds OF wax
from each ten combs of the Langs-
trough size.
Equipment For and Rendering Bees'-Wax
To get the best results one
should have a melting tank,
press, Il use a hand cider press,)
and a warm room to work
in, as wax cools quickly where
there is draft of air. l use for
melting the old combs a tank
"a inches square and IL inches
deep. This tank is placed over an
old cooking stove. The tank should
be about two thirds full of water.
the more water the clearer the
wax. The combs are cut from the
frames, and broken up fine and
placed in gunny sack; the sack
is then put into the tank and
covered with the boiling
water. When melted il is
lifted by using strong, stick Ga
fork or hoe handle will dol to lift
the sack from the tank to the
press. At this point one should
work rapidly as the pressure must
be applied to the Slumgum while
hot in order to get all the wax.
When the combs are all melted,
you then melt the wax and strain
it through a wire strainer into
lard tubs lined with CREASED
paper to prevent it from stick
ing to the wood. When the wax
has begun to cool the scum should
be SKINNED off and the tubs seal
ed as nearly air tight as possible
in order to prevent the wax from
cracking while cooling.

Nothing will discourage the COW

abortion in the herd. 1t is a most

needs heroic measures. Abortion is

water temperature. The COW will
then drink lot of it and this is
what she needs. The COW that eats
lots of feed and drinks lots of
water is a good COW providing she
has tendency to make milk in
stead of beef.
We are glad to see so many silos
going up on Michigan farms this
fall. 1t is one Of the best kinds of
progressive dairying that We
know of. Michigan has led the ma
ton in introducing pure bred sires
into the common herds of Mich
igan cattle and she is not taking a
back seat on the silo question.
The man who uses a silo is like
the man who uses a hand separa-
tor. After learning of its advant-
ages he wouldn't want to try and
keep cows without one.

COURT GIVES JUDGMENT
in SICK BENEFIT CASE
Declares Company Took Mar
row View of Forfeiture Clause.

Indicating that the company should
take a broader view of the technical
forfeiture clauses of its contract
Judge Mcmahon in the First District
Court, this morning, gave judgment
in favor of Joseph Gordon, a negro
employee of the Shade Tree Commits
sion, who sued to ecove sick bene-
fits from the Commonwealth Bene-
fetal Association. The amount award
ed was $82, 81 of which was interest.
The company had refused payment
to Gordon. who asserted hal he had
paid premiums steadily for twenty
years, amounting to several hundred
dollars. Refusal was based on a
claim that Gordon was in arrers be-
cause he had failed to pay a premium
with the seven days grace allowed
after the collection date in the con
tract. In the trial of the suit it was
brought out that the company's
agent had collected the money al
legged to be overdue and John V.
Laddy, counsel for the plaintiff, also
produced evidence hat the agents
had accepted the money after warn
ing Gordon that If it was not paid
at once he would lose benefits.
The judge held that the company
had waived arrearage forfeiture
rights by this transaction and over
ruled the contention that hospital
confinement was not evidence OF
sickness because til econtract techni-
cally read that the claimant must cal
and be attended by q physician be-
fore dues can be paid.
