PREPARE FOR COLD WEATHER
Bees Must Be Given Proper Protection
Hen House Should Be Made
Snug and Then Whitewashed.

Where are the bees going to win.
posed to the storm? II in the cellar
place should be prepared for them
now, SO that when cold weather sets
in for good the hives can be quickly
placed in position
Once more: Never set the hives
fiat on the floor of the cellar-as some
people do. Bees must have fresh air,
and be kept free from dampness.
Every stormy day in which the hens
are allowed to wander about without
shelter, adds to the discrepancy in the
egg basket.
OF course we can wait until stormy
weather sets in before making the
chickenhouse snug and comfortable,
but it will cost us something, In the
loss of eggs, to do it.
After it has been made all comfort
able for the winter, take the time to
give it another whirl of spraying with
whitewash into which two teaspoon
fuls of carbolic acid to the pailful have
been dropped.
If we will put the drag on the road
after late rains, right up until the
ground freezes, we will have very
much better roads when the frost
comes out of the ground next spring.
1t takes some courage to weed out
the poultry flock down to the very
essence of good quality, but this is the
month to do it. Why feed any old
scrubs during the long winter months
Stuff them two weeks, and send them
to market.
Many people do not know that the
tops of turnips, sugar beets and car
rots can be cut off without imparing
their keeping qualities. This should
be done before they are put into win
ter quarters.
Maybe it is too late to gather road
dust for the fowls. If you have neg
lected to do this, you can give them
sifted coal-ashes, which Is the next
best thing.
A few dollars invested in storm-doors
on the house will not only save fuel,
but will prevent sudden blasts of cold
air from reaching the occupants-a
thing which is always attended by
some danger.
If you will put storm-windows over
the regular windows, be sure to pro-
vide openings in both for proper ven
tilation. It Is a fearful thing to sleep
in an ai1-tight room.

WENT ON WITH THE DANCE
ruption to Interfere With
Evenings Pleasure.

1t was a Thanksgiving dance given
at mountain farm house. There
was only one fiddler, and he was also
the caller. His calls puzzled me at
first. but no one else appeared to
mind 1t as he drawled:
Right and left on the head, and
Bill Taylor don't want to drop that
revolver on the floor! Balance four
and half-promenade, and Jim Hen
derson has a knife in his bute-leg!
Ladies change, and Luke Williams Is
achin' to pick a furse with Tom Be-
bee! All balance to partners, and
when the shootin' begins please re-
member that the fiddler never takes
Sides"
We had been dancing about an
hour, and everybody seemed to be
thoroughly good-natured and at peace
with all mankind, when the farmer
beckoned to me and whispered:
Il said I'd give you FIVE minutes
warnin', but I'm two minutes behind
time! Break fer the barn!"
broke, but was not over 80 feet
from the door when the shooting be-
gan. It lasted about five minutes,
and | cautiously returned to hear the
fiddler In the same old monotonous
voice:
Take partners for the Virginia
reel and don't make SIGH furse over
three men wounded! First lady and
gent forward and back, and Bill Tay-
lor has gone fur a doctor! Forward
again and sasha, and somebody at
tend to that gal In Mysteries! Swing
with the right-now with the left, and
II this isn't the most successful dance
of the season then you folks needn't
pay me a cent?"

w NEITHER she is joyous coed or
w only just plain girl, she is sure
Of the favor of her knight of the ath-
letic field, If she is crowned with a
hat Haunting his college colors. Such
hats are made and provided now at
the order of any school, and are SO
constructed that any emblem OF pat
tern is woven in or built into the body
of the hat in any way which a partic-
ular school may want.
Here are two of the best liked
shapes worn by fans" on all sorts of
occasions. This Is a new idea in head
wear. The hats are made of chenilles,
yarns and specially woven fabrics that
have. core of wire, and they are
crocheted by hand. Or yarns, chenilles
and other things are crocheted over
small supporting wires into the re-
quired shapes.
The fine invisible wires are worry
light. They are a part of the flexible
body of the hat. The shape is sup
ported but not made in the least rigid
by them. There is no way of distin-
gushing them except by their trade

venIson Steaks and Hash.

To hash cold venison, cut the meat
in nice, small slices and put the
trimmings and bones into a saucepan
with barely water enough to cover
them. Let them stew for an hour,
then strain in liquid into a stew pan,
add to it some bits OF butter, rolled
In -four, and whatever gravy was left
of the venison the day before. Stir
In some currant jelly and let it boil
up, then put in the meat and keep it
over the fire just long enough to
warm through, but do not allow 1t to
boil, as it has been once cooked al
ready.
Venison Steaks-Cut them from the
neck or haunch. Season them with
pepper and salt. When the gridiron
has been well heated over a bed of
bright Goals, grease the bars and lay
the steaks upon it. Broil them we'll,
turn them once and take care to save
as much of the gravy as possible.
Serve them with some currant jelly
laid ON each steak. Have your plates
warm.

QUAINT QUAKER
BONNET OF SILK
FOR DEBUTANTE

IF the debutante aspires to looking
i demure let her array herself simply
and don Quaker bonnet. Not plain
and colorless affair, but a pretty and
altogether bewitching development
which betrays a playful mood in the
mind of its designer. Such a little
bonnet is pictured here.
1t Is really capacious bonnet, COW
ering somewhat elaborate couture,
for it is meant only for wear when the
maid is considerably dressed up" A
light-colored gown of crepe de chine
made on simple lines, with a little
drapery, round Dutch" neck and a
wide frill of lace about it, this makes
up costume quite elaborate enough
for youthful wearer to be gowned in
full dress.
To save the day for such a girlish
costume and to lift 1t out of the realm
Of commonplace and into that Of the
imagination. this little joke of bon
net is just the thing.
The lines depart, from the Quaker
model, for the brim flares out In points
at the side in the fashion of bonnets

WHEN THERE WAS NO SHADOW
interesting Occurrence In Midocean on
February 10, 1913-Sun Was
Vertically Overhead.

Every one knows that when a per-
son stands In the full sunshine his
body casts shadow which will be
either short or long. according as the
sun Is high up in the heavens or near
the horizon at sunrise or sunset. A lit
tie thought will bring it home to the
reader that obviously, If the sun Is ex-
actly vertical over a persons head
there can be no shadow. But the prob
lem Is to determine when and where
this shall be the state of things. AS
regards the where" that must evil
IDENTIFY be at some place ON the earth
In the tropics, and the when" must
be the hour of midday. To get these
two things to concur by prearrange-
ment is matter of no small difficulty.
But as a matter of fact they did occur
on a day in February, 1913-namely,
the 18TH when scientific friend OF
mine, W. b. Gibbs, was in mid-ocean
in latitude Is degrees south, the suns
declination being also about Is de-
grees south. A photo. reproduced in
the Strand, represents Mr., Gibbs and
another man standing bolt upright on
the deck facing one another, and
clearly shows the absence of any sign
of lateral shadow-in other words.
it proves that the ship was in such
latitude that the sun was vertically
overhead, and that the time was noon.
when the sun was at its highest alti-
tude as between east and west.

sows, by 10 feet.
There are many things to be said
in favor of individual houses. First

thus lessening the chances of disease
spreading through the entire herd.
Secondly, fields and pastures may be
utilized regardless of their location or
proximity to other farm buildings.
Third, such buildings are quite mex.

own. tt fft

the hens cackle and followed her to
his ice house and there hidden under
the floor were 72 eggs. Brown be-
ieves that the hen wandered into the
ice house and finding cool spot laid
an egg and after starting the nest
went there ever yday.
AS eggs are much higher now,
Brown says his hen is not alone a
good cold storage proposition, but
financier, and he expects his neigh
bors will now train their hens to lay
cold storage eggs.

Standards OF Value.

A recent decision of supreme
court jury in New York state fixed
the value of an interlocutor in a min
strel show at $1,055.42. says Life. This
gentleman was killed in railroad &C
cident.
The interest on this sum at per
cent, roughly speaking. Is $50 year.
1t is, therefore, interesting to learn
that there can be kind of standard
value fixed to the life of public en-.
tertainer.
The decision seems to be fair, as we
think 1t is generally conceded that the
end man In a minstrel show has a
certain value. He can probably make
us forget our troubles occasionally
and Is entitled to be worth at least $50
a year.
But on this basis, how much is an
after-dinner speaker worth? Or. to
put 1t another way. how much should
we be willing to pay any railroad to
run over one?

LATEST STYLES IN LINGERIE

of Lace In Favor.

Night caps and boudoir caps are

material of closer kind. allowing Of
ventilation. The boudoir caps are made
of ribbon and lace, the latter fiat and
dropping at either side of the face.
There is less lawn or muslin than in
the caps of last season. The new
camisoles are cut away In point in
front to suit the open fronted dresses.
Even the winter woven spencers are
treated in similar fashion. to accord
with the mode.
Many camisoles are made entirely
of lace. Some fasten at the back, 9TH
ers In front. 1t is notable that many
OF the new seasons blouses fasten in
front, great relief to the wearers
who do not possess ladys maids.

Improving the Farm Home,

That farm homes are often unsani-
tary, and the scene of illnesses such
as should be impossible in the free,
invigorating air of the country" is
attributable, in probably the majority
of instances. to the use of defective
methods in the disposal of the waste
and sewage of the house. The
noisome cess-pool and the unframed

luting-make such large additions tn
the rate of mortality as to rob the
country, in measure, of its natural
superiority over the town in the alta
tistics Of health.
