Wintering Bees.

Bee keepers in this part of the
country have experienced con-
siderable trouble in wintering
their bees. 1t is to much trouble
to carry the hives into the cellar
and besides the bees do not do
we'll when kept in the cellar. The
current American Bee journal de-
Scribes several methods for TAX
ing bees through the winter, the
simplest and least expensive OF
which is to take a piece of woven
fence wire a little higher than the
hive. The wire should be put on
stakes driven in the ground about
twelve inches from the hive and
the space between filled with
leaves. Care should be taken
however to leave a hole in the
front of the hive, which should
face the south, so that the bees
can get in and out.

Milk in Winter.

Why do your cows give less
milk in winter than they do in
summer? Just because nature
does not supply them with grasses
and green food. But we have
come to the assistance Of Dame
Nature with B. A. Thomas Stock
Remedy which contains the very
ingredients that the green feed
supplies in season, only, of course,
in a more highly concentrated
form. We guarantee that this
remedy will make your cows give
more milk, and better milk, with
the same feed.
