PROPER PREPARATION OF BEES
FOR SEVERE WINTER MONTHS
Most Important Considerations
Quality, Sound Hives and Good From
Cold and Dampness-Many Little
Things Count

but it works well, provided the en-
trance of the hive is not too narrow
and contracted
Beese inhale vapor, and when this
vapor strikes the cold walls of the
hive 1t sometimes congeals into frosts,
melting into water and running out Of
the hive as soon as the weather is
warm enough.
Sometimes it merely condenses in
to water and runs out of the hive as
soon as enough is collected Whether
cold or warm, this vapor is being
sent off all the time, only when it
is warm enough it does not condense
into water or ice.
1t very often occurs that the en-
trance of hives becomes clogged
with dead bees, and the colonies do
not have ventilation enough. One Of
the indications of this is when you

Honey Love Cakes,

Put two cupfuls of honey and three
quarters Of pound of sugar into a
saucepan and bring slowly to boiling
point. All quarter of a pound of
chopped almonds with the skins left
on. Simmer five minutes, remove from
the fire, cool slightly, add half a pound
of candied peel cut into small pieces,
half teaspoonful of baking soda, half
teaspoonful of ground cloves, one tea
spoonful of ground cinnamon, half Of
a grated nutmeg, the grated rind of a
lemon and enough flour to make a
stiff paste. Roll out, cut into rounds
with cutter, lay on buttered tins and
bake till ready in moderate oven.

Spring Bee Escape.

see water running out of the entrance,
which goes to show that the air inside
is damp and impure.
Take stout piece of wire with a
hook on the end, and rake out the
dead bees. When frost forms about
the inside of the hive, the vapor from
the bees, together with the CONCEAL
ing of it in the remote parts of the
hive, gives blush-white appearance
to the surface of the combs, which
by the inexperienced is often mistak-
en- for mold.
The bees also must be kept dry. A
substantial hive, with a tight roof,
will keep out the rain.
A few inches of dry, porous material,
such as chaff or ground cork packed
between the cluster and the roof, will
have good effect on keeping the bees
comfortable, allowing the moisture to
pass off slowly.
A draught would be injurious. We
advise wind-break of some sort on
the north and west sides of the hives.
Also guard against the mice, and have
the hive entrances shallow and long,
rather than round.
Do not neglect the bees; see to it
that they have food enough and to
spare. Bees differ from other farm
stock in this respect, that they can
be given their full supply of food at
once and they will help themselves
as their need requires. Plenty Of
good food above the cluster is what
takes them through every time.

Light In the Stable.

Be very careful to see that there is
plenty of light. A farmer told me
few days ago that he now had two
valuable horses which had lost their
sight on account of his barn being
without plenty of light. 1t is better
to have the windows in front of the
horses rather than behind them. Do
not shut out the light, and especially
the sun, by hanging something over
the windows, says q writer in an ex-
change. Remember the eye was made
to be used in the light, not in dark
ness. The manger should have at least
four apartments-a place for hay, for
grain, for water and for salt. A bin
In the NOW for ground feed and one
for oats, made rat and mouse proof,
with chute into feedroom, will make
the feeding of the horses q very easy
task.

coming of the Patriarch of Jerusalem,
who, on his arrival, takes a position
at the head of the long line and leads
the way through the narrow entrance
to the Latin Chapel of ST. Catherine,
In which services will be continuous
throughout the night, the Patriarch
celebrating solemn mass at mid

edifice is crowded, the glare of the
lamps, the smoke of the candles and
the heavy odor of burning incense,
with the bodily exhalations from the
vast crowd, making an atmosphere
that 1t is relief to get out of into
the calm. cool night air.
Finally, with the first faint streaks
of light that proclaim the coming day,
the birth of the Saviour is acclaimed
with triumphant music, and with the
parting benediction of the fathers the
multitude disperses to leave the quiet
little city on the hillside for another
year to Its restful peace and the
guardianship of the places sacred
above all others to those who believe
in the religion for which the lowly
Nazarene gave up his life, and which
found its first material existence, fol-
lowing the prophecies by which it was
predicted in Bethlehem of Judea.

Fermented Fruits.

1t is not necessary to throw away
canned fruit which through improper
sealing has begun to ferment. Cut
the fruit up as small as you like and
let 1t come to boil. adding about one
cup of sugar to a quart jar. Let 1t
cook slowly until the fruit has become
transparent and the liquid is sirup.

RYAN TO REMAIN
 WITH CORONA co.
Adler Says Nothing Will Stand in Way of Making $250,000
 Improvements

That John R. Ryan of the Corona Coal and Iron company would be general sales manager of the new company, similar to the position he occupied under the Musgrove regime, was announced yester- day by Edgar L. Adler, who recently pur- chased that company for s1 100000.
 MT. Ryan is one of the best known coal men in the Birmingham district and has been connected with the Corona com pany for years. He has been the right hand man of President Musgrove in the management of the company. His reten- ton by the new owners will be the source of much qualification to his local friends and the coal trade outside of this city.
 Mi. Adler in speaking of his new inter ests said that plans were under way right now to expend about s250,000 on improve ments and that nothing would stand in the way of that work It Is planned, as heretofore announced, to double the ca- pacity of the mines, running the total up to 1,000.00o tons of coal per annum. Here tofore half that tonnage has been mined.
 Mir. Adler and John R. Pill, general manager, have taken hold of the new company like veterans and are not worry ing about any new tricks of the trade that might have come up while they were lput of active harness. MT. Pill is at Coro- na and it is expected will spend con siderable amount of his time there

WADUCT MEETING
 TObE HELD MONDAY
Weatherly Expects All Lines to Be Represented at
 the Conference

The proposed conference of railroad ex- ecutives with Commissioner James Wealth erly relative to a solution of viaduct needs here will not be held tomorrow. It was announced by MT. Weatherly that he had upon request postponed action until next Monday. when 1t is probable that all the railroad executives can be here to discuss the proposition.
 The postponement Of the meeting was caused primarily because Henry B. Spen- cer. vice president of the Southern rail- way, had engagements until Friday and as the Southern is one of the most vitally concerned roads MT. Weatherly thought 1t well to pass the meeting to suit MT Spencer. Replies have been received by MT. Weatherly from all the companies ex- cepting the Illinois Central, tho Frisco and one other. He expects answers from them today.
 Telegrams were sent yesterday by Mir. Weatherly to all the lines advising them of the postponement and 1t is expected that Monday will be day which will be suitable to all the lines.
 Mir. Weatherly Is very much encouraged over the prospects for a successful ter imitation of the proposed viaduct confer ence. He did not ask the Sloss company to participate in the conference as he said the city did not have the right to compel that company to do any construction.

a modern article and general invitation to advance the project has been extended to all persons directly or indirectly con- cerned with this movement.
 This step toward the alteration in the pavement of the streets of the central dis trict of Birmingham is the. culminat ton of the Board of Trade session held yes terday afternoon at the Chamber of Com merce building. Coincident with it's initial meeting since consolidating with the Chamber of Commerce, the Board of Trade planned to definitely naugurate ac- tivities, having for their objective the proposed pavement relaying of several of the prominent streets of the Magic City. Considering the inclement weather the meeting was well attended. President Parker acted as chairman of the proceed ngs, with Secretary Joseph B. Babb of the Chamber of Commerce as secretary. The conference was held to map out the plans of action for the Board of Trade. As beginner. the issue of the removal of the Belgian block pavement was chosen and the discussion was freely participated
 in. The meeting was unanimously in favor of the campaign for a better down town pavement. Every man expressing his views echoed MT. Parker's belief that the move would receive the support of all public spirited citizens.
 To secure the combination of those forces most vitally interested in this cam paign, it was decided to assemble a. public meeting of these parties at the Chamber of Commerce building next Tuesday At this time, the exact nature of the form of campaign and the method of conduct ing it will be generally outlined.
