There is uo better arrangement for wintering; lioes than an ordinary dry j good* box uiade into a chaff hive, as shown in I'ig. 1, and the manner of fix iuj: it is -d fully explained In the pic ture that no further direction Is need ed. The shle of the large hox i.s taken off lo show how to arrange the hive of bees. The liive is tipped up Ht one side I to show the bottom arrauKement. The side is ]p|a< ed l-aek and the entire j between hives inside iilled with dry chaff, a good roof added and all paint ed r.p nicely, as shown In Fig. 2. This nrratCremeiit is illustrated in Farm. Fireside, in which A. 11. I »uff also tells about moving bees. He says tliqt junviiig them, either long or short distances, should be done be fore cold weather They should he lo cated on the spot where they are in tended during warm weather to be wintered, so as to be thoroughly ac quainted with their surroundings he fore cold weather sets i;i. this not only answers for long distances, but more especially so if they are to be moved about in the rpiary. If colonies are thu- cla.uged just at the beginning of winter, when they do not have a chance to mark their new location by frequent flights, it will re sult in irreparable nan..- and a heavy loss in Ikm s. Tie ■»nly safe plan to move coh iiies in tl e same apiary is to move the hive a few fe> t each day tl.at the Ih's are flying until the desired spot is rca< ht J. In this maimer the bees will follow the hive and iind their way home;- jtfr- 1 11 »i 2. f.C-.l' 1 CHEAP CHAFF HIVE TOR WtVTF.H. otherwise they would become lost or enter oilier hives, in which case they are liable to be stung to death by other bees. The; c iless loss in this respect during the autumn months than at any time during spring or summer, as the bees are lying idle the greater part of the time-it this season. Bees should not be moved during winter. 'I lu y should not be disturbed or molested in any manner while tak ing their winter doze, except on a fine day. when they are flying, to look after their wants. They may be moved in early spring in suftty, when they iwv beginning to fly daily. Commercial Fertilizer and Potatoes. The Virginia station draws the fol lowing conclusions from experiments with commercial fertilizers for pota toes : First.—That potatoes grown without fertilizers contain the greatest amount of dry matter. The addition of fer tilizers tends to diminish the dry mat ter, and also as the quantity of fer tilizer used is increased the amount of dry matter is diminished. Second.—Potatoes grown where sul phate of poiasli was used contain more dry matter than those where muriate was used. Third.—The ash is not affected to any very appreciable extent. Fertili zers tend slit' 11 y to increase it. Fourth.—Very little effect is produced on the starch by fertilizers, their tend ency being to increase rather than to diminish it. Fifth.—Potatoes grown with muriate of potash contain less dry matter but slightly mor starch than those grown with sulphate of potash. Sixth.—Neither the kind nor amount of fertilizer has any appreciable effect 011 the percentage of nitrogen, [rtios phoric acid and potash contained in potatoes. ' / Seventh. —The percentage of chlorine Is considershly increased when muriate of potash is used, and the more muri ate used the higher the percentage of chlorine. Ilov.- Mosquitoes Hibernate. "In what stage of their existence do mosquitoes and similar gnats pass the whiter?" is a query to which Miss Mary K. Murtfeldt replies in the St. I,ouis Republic: So far as has been as certained. the mosquito and its nearest allies hibernate in the perfect form, hidden away in hollow trees, in cor ners of buildings and among low bush es. That ther most severe cold does not impair their vitality is proved by the almost insupportable abundance and ferocity of these insects in arctic regions. They will also survive in heated rooms in a state of semiactivity, as the writer has proved by experi ment. New* tind Notes. Among vegetables which the depart ment of agriculture has imported and pronounces of great merit are two spe cies of asparagus new to America, one from Algeria, the other from Naples. The Brazilian duck, a recent deli cious addition to the menu of the epi cures, is said to be a "wood duck," dif fering much from the popularly raised Pekin. To be a success for market it must be fed and fattened, with the scrupulous care and nicety of the French poultry growers, on finely chop ped mixed feeds specially designed to give delicately flavored meat. Over 2<> important products are now made from corn. Under latest modern discoveries and methods not a particle of corn is wasted. There Is said to be absolutely 110 refuse. Our imports of wines, currants, rai sins and fresh grapes aggregate over $8,350,000 a year. "A liberal potato crop In sight" is The American Agriculturist's verdict, though the crop has proved disappoint lng in the northwest and in parts of New York and Ohio. What Tliey Do. "What do these park policemen do to enrn their salaries?" asked the visiting stranger. "What do they do?" responded the lounger lying on the grass. "Didn't you see tl«it one with the red nose make those women take down that hammock after he had watched tlicra for 15 minutes putting it up?"— Chic ago Tribune. 11 liulibcd tlfT.
