WINTER STORES FOR BEES.

The quality of the stores with which the bees enter winter is as important as the quantity of stores. In general, honeys from mixed sources and dark honeys, except buckwheat, are not de- sirable for wintering bees. Now is the time to make special examination of ell colonies to determine the quality and the quantity of stores present. Good honey for wintering bees should be liquid and quite bright and trans parent Ca1dicd honey betrays tine probable presence of honey dew, which is wholly unsuitable as a winter food. The objectionable part of honey dew is the gum or dexterin whicht it con- tains The bees cannot digest dexter in, and. it collects in their intestines and brings about a condition known as dysentery. Granulated sugar is free from gums and is perfectly digested
 From the time that honey gathering | ceases in the autumn till it begins again in the spring an average colony will consume 45 pounds of stores. The bees ought to enter winter with this quantity in easy reach If t'.e keeper prefers, he may supply oniy half of | this amount in the fall if he is going | to winter in the cellar and thirds this amount if he is going to winter out of doors. Then the balance of the 45 pounds should be given in the spring after the bees fly. Beekeerers who need sugar for feeding and cannot get it locally should write to the fed eral food administration at AS Lewis street, Hartford Conn, stating how
 many colonies are to be fed, together
 with the minimum amount required
 which ought not to exceed 1G to l. pounds per colony

CHESTNUT COAL FOR
 BROODER INCUBATORS

Poultrymen who expect to use mammoth incubators and coa' burnin; brooder stoves next spring should ar range for their supply of coal. This advice comes from the U. sS. fuel ad- ministratoin and will accordingly be promptly needed by judicious chick en men. Allotments are made by states and smaller community divi- sions and after an allotment has been received and assigned it is very i'm probable, not to say impossible, to provide additional supply. Large hatcheries will not of course, need further farming but some small oper- ators who use only a small amount of coal may feel that they can wait until the last minute to be taken care of. This is not safe way to proceed nor will it be fair to the fuel ad- ministrator to ask for a special al lotment in view of the due and time ly notice that has been given.

CATTLE LICE.

There are three species of cattle iicc that attack dairy cows tsyo; Of these suck the blood from the fatt' s1 the thTd feeds on the drv rt hair Those that suck the - by far the greatest amount re cause considerable irritation .aduce the milk supply. Control uasures on young stock are very essential be- 'ause infested calves do not increase in weight as they should.
 Cattle lice infest the animals par iicularly along the shoulders and un- ner portion of the neck where the blood aupply is greatest The lice null Gply very rapidly as cold weather ap- breaches during January, February and March.
 Treatment should not be delayed until large numbers Of lica appear for this makes control measures more difficult. Cattle should be treated very soon after they are brought in from the pasture. Treatment should be re- heated twelve or thirteen days after the first application, then once each month thereafter. The use of linseed ell is recommended owing to the fact mat this can be applied with a brush at the time when one is cleaning or grooming the animal About a half pint of raw linseed oil is necessary for each animal, and the cost is about five cents for one application. The oil kills the adult insects, but it does not prevent the eggs from matching hence treatment must be repeated soon after these eggs hatch.
 The cows skin is very susceptible tc l injury; for this reason an insecticide ] that is not a skin irritant should be used. It should not be rubbed in toe vigorously. The animals should not | be covered after an application of | lirseed oil; they should not be allow | ed to stand in the sun. nor exercfss ] fire ely until tweny -four hours after i the application.

Early fall blowing returns the best crops It gives 8 longer period in which to decompose the stubble and other particles of vegetable matter that are turned under and it opens up the soil to the reception of fall rains and it helps to dispose of the weeds which trouble the annual crops, and it lessens the amount of work that has to be done in the spring.

Ii is natural that doctors, knowing
from their hospital experiences the ELECTS
Of asphyxiating and corrosive gases on
human beings, should regard their use IN
war as particularly horrible, but they are
not alone in this feeling, and not the least
grievance of the Allies against the Germans
is that the latter, by resorting to tins
Internal expedient, compelled their OPP
ponents also to do the same thing IN
self defense. 1t is poor consolation Tor
them to know that, having been forced
into this rcpulsivc form Of imitation, they

INTO the opposing lines gases in greater
