serum on his person which he says is
the first of the widely discussed Fried
mann culture to be brought to THIS
country, DR.. Austin B. Held, a physi-
clan of Pittsburg, arrived on the
steamship Pottsdam, from Europe to
day and at once took a train for his
home where his wife, a consumptive
awaits the arrival of what DIR. Hei
hopes will be cure for her. DR.. Held
has enough bacilli only for one pa
tent, he declared. That patient will
be his wife.
DR.. Held was met at quarantine by
DIR. Milton H. Foster, of the Ellis Is
land Health Service and questioned
about the Friedman cure Dr. Held
told Dr. Foster he had been convinced
of the efficacy of the cure.
DR.. Friedrich Franz Friedman, the
German scientist, who discovered the
serum, last month was offered $1,000
600 by Charles f. Finlay, banker OF
this city, if he would cure 95 out of 100
patients to be placed under his care.

FOR WINTER
EGG PROFIT.
BY NJ. NJ. CHANDLER.

AS much depends upon the con-
dition Of the hens themselves as
anything else, if you are expecting
the winter eggs. You should have
seen to it that your hens were not
running wild during the late fall,
getting too much corn about the
fields or hog pens, or that they are
not starving when you think they
are picking up a good living for
themselves after the grain has all
been put away for the winter. (
For many years l kept only a
small flock of hens and paid little
attention to them except during the
winter. | got, Of course, very few
eggs and found that if I wished
this much sought winter supply /
must look closer to business.
| tried shutting my hens in a
large park during the month of
November and feeding them cook
ed vegetables, milk, a little OF
everything in the shape Of grain,
instead of letting them I'll to the
corn houses; that is, all but those
I wished to market, and those
confined in a large coop with a
floor in it, SO they could not do toe
much scratching, and fed then
more grain and less milk, plenty OF
clean water and usually two week:
would find them in good condition
for the market.
| This, l find. pays better than al

, lover remain with those you ar
going to sell, since the feedin.

' A hen should not be fat whe'
the cold weather sets in any NOR

1t is said that American farmers
use more paint on their buildings
than any other farmers Of the
world. The people of this coun-
try paint every two years on an
average. but in France, Holland
and other European countries the
painting is done on IN average OF
every FIVE years. Americans use
more bright colors than any other
nation.

per at four o'clock of corn. two
quarts to forty hens. This may
seem a small ration, but where
three meals are given you will find
that it is enough and if more is al
lowed them there will be fewer
eggs.
Some think it better to feed all
small grains and no corn, but in
the cool weather | find that corn
satisfies the fowls much better and
it should be fed as hot as they can
stand it.
Never expect real success with
winter egg-raising without a good
bone mill. A bone mill can be had
for S. and will pay for itself in six
months. Bone meal should be a
part of every, breakfast in the hen
roost and the oyster shells and
skimmilk are quite as essential.
Meat is good, but never throw
the carcass OF a dead animal into
the chicken house unless you want
to create disease germs and impure
eggs. Keep the carcass frozen out
of doors and cut from it a small
ration Of meat at a time, and see
that it is all eaten fresh.

dark, damp, chilly coop. Have

how 70 RENDER BEESWAX
RY r. G. HERMAN

The specIal lie action OF the bee.
Wax is not collected from the flow
ers as wax but is secreted by spe-
cial glands situated beneath the
wings of the abdomen of the neu-
Ter. or working bee.
The quality of the wax secretcd
is proportioned to the honey con-
sumed. Beeswax is a very impor-
tant product and in the markets OF
the world it has a more standard
value than the honey.
The solar extractor is very eff
Tcient to render up combs, espe-
.ially new combs OF cappings, into
Ieeswax. During the busy months
Of the apiary, when you are likely
TO have at any time a few small
pieces of comb, or a few scraps
that would either be lost or eaten
by the moth, with the sun extrac-
Tor, usually in close reach Of the
apiary, it takes but a minute to put
those scraps where they will at
once, mechanically, be rendered III
10 very good beeswax by the rays
of the sun.
II the sur extractor is kept. as is
the custom with the careful bee
keeper, with neatness, the beeswax
that will come from it will need no
further rendering unless residues
or dark combs have been melted,
it may be well to mention that it is
advisable not to leave the beeswax
TOO long in the sun extractor, un-
less the extractor is so made that
the liquid wax runs into a par
sheltered from the light. Beeswas
that has been thoroughly bleached
loses its nice bee-smell and take:

time candles, and this is, of course
not desirable.
The reader will thus see that al
though the sun extractor is yer,

not sufficient. Very old combs will
certainly not do for the sun ex
