Will Honor Winnie Diivin V»y Eroct-

ory lit ItielniionU. \ n.
Without solicitation of any kind, and
solely through voluntary contributions
from those she loved, the memory of
Winnie Davis, "the Daughter of the Con
federacy," will be honored by the erec
tion of a handsome monument over her
grave in Hollywood. It will lie the
lirst tribute of the kind ever paid to
a southern woman by the women of
the south.
This movement was started by the
Richmond Chapter of the Daughters of
the Confederacy. At first it seemed a
difficult undertaking. A great monu
ment to Jefferson Davis was already
awaiting the raising of funds for its
construction, while a proposed monu
ment to the women of the south had
l>een temporarily abandoned. Hut the
women sent out a circular to confed
erate organizations, suggesting that
tlicy contribute as they saw lit to this
work of love, and contributions soon
came pouring in.
The Winnie Davis monument commit
tee soon had SI,OOO in hand, and de
signs for a monument to cost that
amount were asked for. Many were

A hat with a nice broad brim is equal

An ideal sunshade hat for a child of
two years is made of white leghorn.
The straw need not necessarily be the
submitted, but the New York camp of
Confederate Veterans desired particu
larly a design by Zolney, a New York
sculptor. This was an angel in Italian
marble, the price of which was $3,000.
The sculptor's friendship for the Da
vis family caused him to reduce the
amount to $1,050, which included the
SI,OOO raised by the women and SGSO
given by the New York veterans.
Zolney's design was accepted as soon
as Mrs. Davis expressed her wish for
it. The sculptor is now at work on a

It is the purpose to unveil the monu

Yerv dainty colorings are seen in

HOME-MADE BROODER.
It Is Easily Managed and Reasonably
Sure to Give Satlsfaetlon to
All Who Try It.
The brooder here illustrated is cheap,
easily made and successful in every
way. I have two, and have never lost a
chick in thein. It is double throughout.
The lining is ship lap put on cross
ways. The outside is fine flooring put
on up and down. The framework is
two by by four ripped in two. The
floors are four inches apart. The
lower one is nailed to the bottom of
brooder. The upper one can be put
on slats so as to be easily removed
and cleaned.
A is a three plass window, which we
purchased, and secured one that would
just fit the space.

Inches high. B B is the distance from
A A to F F, one foot. This we heated
with a common side lamp. Midway be
tween the ends, and against the back
wall, cut a circle hole in the upper floor
large enough to admit the bowl of
lamp which rests on the bottom floor.
Have the tinner make a chimney simi
lar to those used on incubator lamps.
Now when lamp is in position place a
gallon tin can, with top and bottom
removed, over it so as to keep the chick
from lamp. A piece of stove pipe will
do. Do not have it higher than the
lamp. In top of brooder, close to the
roof, hang a piece of tin or sheet iron
to throw the heat back to the floor. I
used a washboiler cover which just fit
ted the small space in roof. This gives
top heat and prevents leg weakness.
In the back of brooder, at the bottom,
bore holes through the two walls, be
tween the two floors, and on each side
of the lamp, to give the lamp air, or
it will not burn. 1 left no place in mir

HINTS FOR BEEKEEPERS.
Tall sections require more honey to
611 them.
Feeding should begin as soon as warm
weather sets in.
The average life of a queen bee is
about two and a half years. •
Many keepers clip the queen's wings
when they hive their swarms.
Old queens may be moderately pro
ductive early in the spring.
Young queens are the most prolific
and are less inclined to swarm.
Stimulative feeding is the means by
which colonies are made strong.
Some queens are better at three years
old than others are at two years.
Italian bees are better workers and
are more easily controlled than black
ones.
Approach a hive of bees from the side
or rear, so as not to disturb the bees at
work.
Strong colonies prevented from
swarming is the key to large honey
crops.
If moth once gain a footing in the
hives the colonies will soon be de
stroyed.
Basswood is said to be the greatest
honey producer for the time that it is
in bloom.
There is no possible economy in tak
ing from a strong colony to build up
a weak one.
Any colony of bees will be capable o<
turning robbers if proper inducements
are offered.
Colonies that are well fed will in
crease to more than double the number
of those not fed.
Leaving honey about at any time
where they can get at it will often start
the bees to robbing.
There must be promptness in putting
on surplus boxes or sections whenever
the hives are crowded.
A large number of extra combs are
necessary when extracted honey is the
object sought.—St. Louis Republic.

The location of the nest has much tc

HARD TO GET.
The Girls Were Learning to Make
Hair Flowers and They
Wanted White.
A venerable white-haired clergyman re
cently preached in tiie church oi a friend.
He had hardly got back to the vicarage
from the church when the door bell rang
and a young lady asked to see him. lie re
ceived her. They talked about the sermon
and other things, until finally the asked,
dillideutly:
"Oh, won't you please give me a lock of
your hair?"
"Certainly, my child," said the old gentle
man, flattered at the request. "I'll send it
to you to-morrow." And he did.
On his return to his own home he had
five more requests of the same kind, and
be proudly boasted to his wife that he was
(lad to see that he had not yet lost his
power to please. All went well until his
wife received this note:
"Dear Mrs. Fourthly: Won't you please
ask your husband to send me just a little
lock of his hair? We have all been taking
lessons in making hair flowers So many of
the other girls asked him, and he sent it to
them, that I thought I would rather ask
you to get it for me. Won't you please do
this for me. It is so hard to get white hair
for lilies of the valley."
