BEES,
Hives Can Be Put In Condition and
 Supplies Laid In During Winter.

Now that the bees are safely housed for the winter, and weather condi- tions are giving the farmers a respite from all work other, than the daily chores, the days and evenings can not be better spent than in careful read ing.
 To keep abreast with the latest progress in beekeeping it is absolute ly necessary to be in touch with what the other fellow is doing, as every now and then some new method is discovered which makes manipuIatio ton of colonies easier and adds to the out put of surplus.
 It is a good thing now to lay in all supplies needed for the coming sea son, because during the leisure of winter there is ample time to put hives. etc, together and have them in readiness when the swarms begin to emerge or the colonies need new sections for the surplus.
 Hundreds of section boxes can be put together, and foundation put into place and the section supers gotten all ready for tiering when the flow begins to come.
 It is economy to use full sheets of foundation in both the brood frames and the section boxes, as it insures straighter combs in each instance
 In the case of the brood frames, whether they are to be used in the brood nest or extracting super, by all means wire in the foundation se- curely, as this prevents the breaking loose of the combs when extracting or handling them.
 Nothing can be done to add to the comfort or security of the bees at this season. if all colonies were in god shape at the time they were pre- pared for winter; any fussing with them is sure to do harm.
 Where the colonies are stored in cellars for the winter, we must not forget to see that the cellar is proper= ly ventilated at night, the bees kept in absolute darkness, and the tenn perature not permitted to rise above 60 degrees. There come occasional warm days in February when the bees are restless. Then is the time to open the windows of the cellar for a couple of hours during the night to allow the animal heat to be carried off and fresh air admitted.
 At times quite a number of dead bees will accumulate upon the floor of the cellar. but this is no occasion for alarm, for they are simply old bees that have come out to die.

An Easy Way To Get
 Fat And Be Strong

The trouble with most thin folks who wish to gain weight is that they insist on drugging their stomach or stufhns it with greasy foodss rubbing on use less flesh creams, or following some foolish physical culture stunt, while the real cause of thinness goes un- touched. You cannot get fat until food you eat
 There is a preparation known to re- liable druggists almost everywhere which seemingly embodies the missing elements needed by the digestive or gans to help them convert food into rich, fat-laden blood. This modern treatment is called Sargol and has been Sargol aims through regeneratiye, re- constructive powers to coax the stom- ach- and inteStines to literally soak uE the fatteninR elements iof your food and pass them into the blood. where they are carried to the starved. broken You can readily picture what result this amazing transformation should produce as with increased weight the cheeks fill out, hollows about nAcE shoulders and bust disappear and from 10 to 20 pounds of solid. healthy flesh IS added to the body. sargoi Is abso- Iutely harmless. inexpensive, efficient Lee & Osgood, Norwich, and Chesbro'f Drug Store Willimantic. and other leading druggists of this vicinity have 1t and will refund your money If you are not satisfied. as per the guarantee found in every package

THE IMPORTANT DUST wALLow
Winter Poultry Quarters Need Some Such Provision for Health of Hens

Hens that are kept confined in poultry house with a board or con- crete floor should be provided with a dust wal1ow throughout the win ter season, for their own amusement as well as for the purpose or provid- Ing an opportunity for them to keep down the hen lice which are bound to thrive during the winter season. 1t behooves the poultrymen to store enough dirt, in some protected place where it will not freeze, to last throughout the winter.
 If a dust wallow is not provided for in the poultry house it can be made by putting a box of dirt in the brightest part of the poultry build ing or by partitioning off a corner and filling that in with dirt. The sun must shine into the dust wallow if 1t is going to be used by the fowls. Hens provided with plenty of oppor- tunity to dust themselves will not re- quire any extra attention from the poultryman by the use of commercial lice powders. A thorough spraying of the roasting quarters and nests once a month will be sufficient to take care of the vernin in the winter time.
 Moist Ioam is by all odds the most desirable for dusting purposes When hens are let out in the spring it will be observed that they do not go to the driest places but to that place in the yard where there is still some moisture left in the earth, and here they wallow in the dirt and are happy. Sand is not good because il is too fine and dry and same is true of coal ashes. They may be mixed with heavy dirt to keep the dust wal low filled during the winter, but there should always be a larger percentage of dirt than coal ashes. Wood ashes should never be used because they contain I've which which injures the skin and shanks and the calcium which they contain sets free the ann monia in the poultry house which re- suits in great loss of the fertilizing value of poultry litter.
