HINTS FOR BEEKEEPERS.
The queen bee is a fully developed fe~
male bee.
Pollen is just as essential to brood
rearing as honey.
Bees fructify the flowers and cause
fruit to mature.
Store honey in a warm, dry place to
hinder granulation. ,
An apiary is best on the south of
east side of a slope.
Leave only as much comb in the hire
as the bees can cover.
The workers are dwarfed female bees.
They never become impregnated. '
Make the hive snug enough to retain
all the heat generated by the bees.
The worker brood in the comb has a
very evenand regular appearance. ,
By instinct the bees build the drone
cells at the lower end of the comb. _
All que'enless colonies should be
united with those having good queens.
One objection to top entrances is
the liability of filth gathering in ‘the
hives.
It is very important to raise only the
best stock of queens that the apiary
willraii‘ord. '
All colonies that lack food must be
fed, and all feeding in cold weather
must be done with candy.
COmb honey will have a blue or
muddy appearnce in cold weather, but
no harm will come from this.
Bees should never be allowed to be- ,
come entirely destitute of honey. Sealed
honey should always be in the hive.
Combs should be handled with care
during cold weather, as they are. then
very easily broken.—St. Louis Repub-
lic.
Feed Corn with Judgment.
Corn should be fed with judgment.
Old corn is better than new and there
~ is a loss in the crib while waiting for
prices to go up, as corn dries some the
older it gets. Corn that is smutty or
moldy should not be put in the crib,
as it is injurious to all kinds of stock,

as “stomach staggers.” If smntty

but ought certainly to produce 1220.
Eight eggs will weigh a- pound, and 120
will weigh about 15 pounds, at the cost
of about. one bushel of corn, worth on
an average about 50 ceiits; at this rate
the eggs cost, so far as food is con—
cerned, about 3%, cents per pound, or
4.16 cents per dozen. They usually
sell for 12 to 15 cents per dozen,‘and_ are ..

WINTER MANAGEMENT.
How to' Keep Young and Old Poultry
in Excellent Condltlon During-
the Severe Season»
To keep a poultry house dry and
warm line the side with tarred paper,
lace loose boards or fence rails over-
ead and fill the loft with chaff (clover
chaff is best). It absorbs all the
dampness arising from the expired air
of the fowls, keeps the house warm
and comfortable, and the chafi is
ready to pack eggs in for shipping in
the spring. The great secret of suc-
cessful floultry raising is to keep the
houses and runs dryr' and clean. Breed
from vigorous, healthy ancestors (with
a frequent introduction of new blood),
and keep up a continual warfare
against the lice. Sprinkle the houses
every two weeks with a strong solu-
tion of carbolic acid. This not only-
destroys the vermin, but is one of the
It destroys the germs or bacteria that
produce cholera, gapes and other in-
fectious diseases among fowls. Buy
a bee smoker and a few pounds of
long green tobacco, and when a hen
hatches her brood, put the little chicks
in a. basket, cover them over'and give
them a thorough smoking with tobac-
co. Tread the old hen to a dose in
like manner. The tobacco will make
the little fellows giddy, but ‘will not
injure them. This procedure will kill
every louse and does it immediately.
If they are very lousy you will find the
Ebottom of the basket lined with them
{after smoking them. Three drops of
l‘carbolic acid in one ounce of sweet
oil is a good remedy to kill lice. Put
[a little on the top of the heads of
chicks and under the wings. Avoid
doctoring your fowls unless they are
sick—American Gardening.
PREVENTING MITES.
Various \Vnys by "Vhich Poultry
Rralsers Aim to Accomplish
This Difficult Task.
Keep your chickens healthy “and
your success is assured. Keep them
“free from mites and there is little dan-
ger that they will not remain healthy.
There are many remedies, all mdre or
less successful, but the best remedy is
prevention. The first great problem
is to keep the roosting places and the
nests free from the pest. To do this is
often a problem. Qpe farmer of my
acquaintance had perches that could
be easily removed. Every little while
he would remove them and pass them
slowly through- a brisk fire. Another
treats the perches, nests and inside of
the coop with a mixture of coal oil
and water, applied with a force pump.
Still another swabs oil? the perches
with tar water. Another keeps a dust-
box for his fo-wls to wallow in. This
box contains a mixture of road dust,
wood ashes and sulphur. "Any or all
of these are good. The idea is to keep
the mites away. One lady in a neigh-
boring county raised chickens by the
thousands every year. She was asked
how she kept her chickens free from
mites. This was her method: She
kept her perches wound with old rags,
and every few days saturated them
with kerosene and water: Mites never
troubled her chickens, nor did .any of
the poultry diseases that follow in the
wake of these pests. She did nothing
else to keep her flocks free from them.
—J. L. Irwin, in Ohio Farmer.

Too Much Drone Comb.
build to much drone comb, says the
Farmers’ Voice. This is not built for
the purpose by the bees. as they build
it for storing honey in, but if not filled
the queen will fill it next spring with
. drone eggs and the hive will be over-
, stocked with the idlers. The way to pre-
vent this is to use all foundation comb
worker size and then the queen will fill
it with worker eggs and the. colony
will be built up when hatching begins
in the spring. If there is too much
drone comb in the. hive’remove it and-
replace with worker comb. By doing
this the supply of drones is easily reg-
ulated by the apiarist, and the bees be—'
come more profitable than they would .
be if left to their own devices.
Pure Breeds and Profit.
It 'is a fact well recognized that no
branch of the live stock business suits
‘the masses of people better than fowl-
raising. It is a paying vocation, and is
"adapted to the young as well as the old.
and to all sections of the country. Prime '
poultry is desirable in every poulterer’s
beginning. The wisest methods
. those learned by experience ahd with
small flocks at the start. Pure-bred
stock costs more at the start, but once
established in the breeder’s yard its
beauty, prolificacy and the consequent
value of all the specimens produced
from the original breeding-birds more
than make up forthe extraoutlay spent
in the outset in producing the very best
stock that money can. buy—Farm and

Popularity of One at the Expense ot
the Other in Political
Campaigns.
Same inquiry was made during the
,recent campaign in New York and else-
where as to what had become of the
campaign songs. Neither the republic-
' nor the democrats went to the trou-
of employing a professional poet,
says the Sun. ' It was evident that cam-
paign poetry was on the wane, and un-
less there is a revival next year in the
presidential, campaign political song
writing will become almost a ibst art.
One reason which may, in part, at least,
account for this is the fact that during
former political campaigns the most
popular songs which were altered or
parodied. to suitpart-y requirements
were usually of a sentimental or pathet-
ic character, whereas the songs now
most popular and most generally fa-
miliar are negro songs of a jocosc
character, which give' little opportunity
for effective political changes.
Campaign songs in presidential elec-
tions have come to be regarded as al-
most as essential as campaign speeches,
and ordinarily the national committees
of the riv parties have special depart-
ments for in employment, compensa-
tion and disposal of glee clubs and
singing quartettes. This is especially
true of the republicans, who have in all
recent national ‘elections utilized, es‘
pecially in the west, this feature of
modern campaigning. The importance
of such songs, however, has been
eclipsed by the greater popularity, as
a symbol of political allegiance, of cam-
paign badges and buttons, .the use of
which has" become so general, and the
expense of which has been so much re-
duced that the.song writers’ occupation
is nearly gone.
