The beveling of the roof boards, to give the nccrssnry slant, makes the outer de so thin that it is liable to warp and form a crack, no that wind and torm can blow into the top of the hive. To remedy this I nailed on strips, as shown in Fiff. 2.

This gives a cover with some space above the hive, but not enough or in the right shape to put in any covering over the brood chamber. To obviate this I lay the quilting in and hold it in place with two cleats, as shown in Fig. 2. This covering, held up from the brood frames by cross strips, I consider quite essential. The bees themselves would make provision for a way to eross from one brood frame to the oth er, but their plans are thwarted by the changes incident to the removal of the honey boxes. 1 know I lost the first two swarms 1 tried to winter in the lines in their original shape, nnri succeeded In carry ing two through the following winter in these hives altered as 1 hav-? indi cated.

Editor of a Ulae Grass State Papei Kind New Noma (or the Bosy Hen. We have read of Maud on a sum mer day, who raked, barefooted, the new-mown hay; we have read of the maid In the early morn, who milked the cow with the crumpled horn: and we've read the lays that the poets sing of the rustling eoru and the flow ers of spring; but of all the lays of tongue or pen, there's naught like the lay of the Trimble hen. Long, long before Maud rake the hny, the Trim ble hen has begun to lay; an l ere the milkmaid stirs a peg, the hen is up and has dropped her egg; the corn must rustle and (lowers spring if they hold their own with the ban -yard ring. If Maud is needing a hat and gown, she doesn't hustle her hay to town; she goes to the store and obtains her suit with a bnsket full of her fresh hen-fruit; if the milkmaid's beau makes a Sunday's call, sr doesn't feed him milk at a but works up eggs in a custard pie and stuffs h im full of chicken frv; and when the old man wants a horn, does he take the druggist a load of corn? Not much! He simply robs a nest and to town he goes you know the rest. He lingers there and he talks, perchance, of true reform and correct feenance, while his poor wife stays at home and scowls, but is snvi i from want by those self-same fowls; for while her husband lingers then she watches the cackling hens with rare, and gathers eggs, and the eggs she'll hide till she saves enough to item the tide. Then hail, ail hail! to the Trimble hen, the greatest blessing ef all men! throw up your hats and make Koine howl for the preserving barnyard fowl; Corn may be king, but it's plain to be seen the Trimble hen is the Kentucky queen. Miltou (Ky.) News. Ilnnkln's Rnllon for Docks. The well-known pioneer New Eng land duck farmer, dames Rankin, feeds his breeding birds In fall and early winter as follows: Three quarts wheat bran, one part ont feed, one part COmmeal, five per cent, beef wraps, (he per cent, grit, and all the green feed they will eat, in the shape uf corn fodder (cut fine), clover or oat fodder, Feed this mixture twice a day, all they will cut. When the lay ing season begins, about February 1, they get equal parts of wheat bran and cornmea!, 20 per cent, oat feed, ID percent, boiled turnips or potatoes, IS per cent, clover rowen, green rve or refuse cabbage, chopped fine, five per cent, of grit. Feed twice n day sll they will cat with a lunch of corn at noon. Keep grit and oysjter shells constantly by them. Goose Market at Wareaw. At Warsaw, Poland, they hold a goose market every year in October. The geese, about 3,000,000 in number, are driven to Warsaw from all parts of the country. Many of them come from distant provinces and as a con sequence have to travel many miles over roads that would wear out their fact unless soma meant were taken to protect them. Thia ia dons by driving them through tar poured upon the ground and then through sand. The operation is repeated aeveral times, and by the time they are ready Jo start their feet are completely cov red with a hard crust which effec tually protects them from all Inlurv. m IMPROVING A HIVE. , THE HENS IH WINTER. To PrOToat Dlseoaea Taey Moot Bo Kept Dry aaa Waras aaa Pro teetoa frosa Kiooooro. While roup may not exist la the flock, yet hoarseness, rattling la the throat, blindness, etc., art common ailments. They are mostly due to colds, and are usually caused by ex posure to draufts of air at night, either from a crack or crevice In the wall, from top ventilation, or from exposure during the day to high wind. It is very annoying, and af fects the fowls that are very fat more thsn others. As the nostrils are usual ly closed, also, the giving of liquid medicines sometimes results in stran gulation. Keep the birds dry and warm, away from draftsf any kind. Inject one or two dro, of camphor ated oil into each nostril, let the bird be quiet (as exercise seems to increase the difficulty), and give a pill the sixe of a three-cent silver piece in diam eter three times a day, composed of equal parts by weight of quinine, promide of potash 0 red pepper. After so doing swab ilie throat with a solution made by dissolving a piece of blue vitriol ns large as a bean In a gill of warm water, using a soft rag on a stick. Feed on nourishing food, such as chopped lean meat. The 1 main point is to keep the bird dry and warm. If the breathing is very severe give two drops of spirits of 'urpentine on n bread-crumb once a lay. A teaspoonful of beaten raw egg is also excellent. Farm end Fire side. TWO-STORY HEN HOUSE. Simple Contrivance by Which Balldlnar Ton Often Be Mode to Hold Two Flocks. Hens could often be kept In the second floor of n building, if access to the ground could be secured. The cut shows an easy grude up to an RUNWAY TO SECOND BTORT. elevated door. The top and bottom boards are shown in place, but the entire front should be covered with slats. These can extend from the top board down to the bottom board. The grade is so easy that fowls will read ily pass up or down, liy this plan a building can often be made to hold two flocks instead of one. Orange Judd Farmer. AMONG THE POULTRY. One way to warm a vessel of drink ing water is to drop a clean, hot stone into it. It Is better not to let the fowls out at all ou days when the wind is cold and the snow blows. Cut cornstalks make the very clean est of litter for the scratching shed. The fowls will eat much of it, too. An excellent addition to the winter food is very sweet milk, and the fowls may be giveu all they will drink of it once a day. Condition powders cannot be made a substitute fur good, wholesome food. That they are sometimes needed is a confession of lack of care in feeding. I'se them sparingly. Frost has out off the natural meat upply, and its place should be supplied in the daily ration. The insect food will be most missed by the birds that are growing and have not completed their framework of bone and muscle. "Table scraps" may or may not be good poultry food. We have seen such craps that might at least be marked "doubtful." Moldy bread, cake and pie. spoiled canned fruits, tainted meat, chunks of salt meat, masses of fat meat, bits of greasy paper, basting strings from roast fowls, cherry pits and many other like articles that are commonly dumped in the chicken bucket had bet ter be thrown on the compost heap or buried. Farm Journal. The Range and the Yard. On the range the hand get a little at a time, but they are ever moving from place to place and are busy as pos sible. It is a different matter when they are fed by the owner. He throws down the food and they fill their crops it once. Having done so they are satis fied und "wax and grow fat." There is ti lesson to leant from the natural mode of feeding by the hens. Give them this food in small quantities. When fh crop is overloaded too much food is passed into the gizzard to be triturated, and the dig-cut ive organs are overtaxed; but when the food is eaten gradually and slowly digestion is natural and the system is better nourished. Farm and Fireside. Scalded a.d Dry Ploked. The New York Produce Review says: Many shippers, sselng dry picked spring chickens quoted higher than scalded, have been inclined to dry pick all their chickens, whioh is a serious mistake. Large dry picked chicken do demand a premium of one to two cents over scalded, aa they can be used in place of Philadelphia or near-by chickens, bat small dry picked are not wanted by any elass of trade except at a cheap price, aad where the birds run small they are son attractive aad sell bettor when waMxl The mystery of the tsiepctoae ta yet bat imperfectly understood by many, yet two women. 1 with no seisntifte Tol.a.oaa, knowiedfe waats aver, ware made to fool how great a boon to humanity it Is. Only a few days ago a man in Chicago decided to give hia wife a novel surprise oa Mar birthday anniversary. He ar ranged that at a certain moment her mother, whom she had not eeen for years, should be at the long-distance telephone office in Philadelphia and should call up the daughter ia Chi cago. There was a telephone ia the Chicago house, says the Chronicle, of that city, and the husband answered the prearranged call. Turning from the instrument, he said to his wife: "Helen here's your mother on the wire in Philadelphia." The wife seat ed herself at the instrument and heard the familiar voice of her moth er. It uttered one word: "Daugh ter!" Suddenly the young matron in Chicago gripped the instrument and poured out her heart in the response: "Oh, mother, mother!" Then, as she heard the sob that came over the wire from her aged mother, she answered in kind, still keeping the receiver at her ear. Speaking literally, these two women cried to each other until the telle amounted to $15. Later they both said that it was the sweetest experience they had known since their long separation began 1 Nothing could more effectually demonstrate the sym pathetic possibilities of the telephone or better illustrate the vital point of realizing the personality behind the voice. A farmer driving a dump cart backed down on the wharf at Cape Porpoise, Me., the other day and asked the men on the big dredge to drop a bucketful in his wagon. They laughed at him, says a local exchnnge, and said his cart couldn't carry enough. He didn't believe them, and said he was willing to risk it. Final ly the men said if he would unhitch his horse they would accommodate him. This he did, and up came a big scoopful. The arm swung it over the wharf and the loud was dumped. If the farmer never before had a realiz ing sense of how much 12 cubic yards were he certainly has now, for it burled his cart completely from view, und it took him two hours to dig it out. The new belts gloves and neckties of rattlesnake skin have elicited this comment from the Klploy Bee: We knew the poor rattlesnake would have to come to it sooner or later. It was about the only varmint left that wom en didn't wear. Think of a woman's being arrayed in a silkworm waist, a sheep's wool skirt, a sealskin sacque, ostrich feather hat, goatskin shoes, whalebone stays, kidskin gloves, horsehide belt, tortoise shell comb, fish scale trimming, stuffed canary birds, clamshell buttons, Spitz dog muff, mink tail collarette, alligator hide purse. A woman of Danbury, Conn., died recently, leaving quite a little prop erty to various persons. To him who was supposed to be her favorite nephew she bequeathed "my false teeth, which will be found in the up per right hand drawer of my bureau." The young man at once concluded that his aunt must have concealed some diamonds or other precious stones in the set of teeth. According ly he smashed up his bequest, but found no jewels. He will now con test the will. The city of Birmingham, Ala., has already begun to make preparations for a "metallic exposition," to be opened there November 15, 1904, and continue until May 15, 1905. Its charter name is to be the International Metallic and In dustrial exposition. The state is ex pected to contribute $100,000 toward the expenses, and congress is to be asked to give $500,000. ' A New York millionaire's son is serv ing an apprenticeship in the city as a bellboy. He has not been disowned nor disinherited. In fact, the young man's father is extremely proud of him. When he was graduated from college in 18B8 bis father said to him: "I want you to get into the world and hustle for yourself for three years. I want to see what you can do." Arndt K. Housekeeper, of Narberth, Pa has failed for $3,000,000, as the re sult of going on the bond of some friends in connection with a gigantic real sstate operation. He signed the necesssry pspers without, it is ssid. thoroughly understanding what he was doing. The lake regions seem to be attrac tive to people. In Ohio during the last ten years the largest rate of increase in population was in the lake cities and counties. The same conditions are true of the states of Michigan and Wiscon sin. Bishop Potter's denunciation of the New York society woman who appeared at a public function dressed in a robe made of the skine of unborn lambs, appears justifiable. The story haa an extraordinary flavor of barbarism.

They come, says the official bulletin, from every sec tion of the western hemisphere, and every state of our great union. They represent not only the most brilliant social circle and the higher walks of diplomatic and political life, but every profession, science, art, indus try and commercial enterprise; fa mous savants, eminent architects and sculptors, great inventors, profound ethnologists, leading manufacturers, railroad magnates, the Napoleons of trade, commerce and useful and orna mental production, specialist and exhibitors in every field of human re search and progress, and business men of exceptional and administrative ability, many of whom have gathered wide and valuable experience from previous expositions. It is also a fact worthy of mention and commenda tion that a number of Huffalo's rep resentative and most influential oiti rens to whom time is literally money and a lot of It have, without com pensation, accepted onerous and la borious official positions in the va rious departments and upon the com mittees of the exposition, in addition to enriching its treasury with sub stantial cash donations. Thai the only enterprise of its kind in Ameri can history, thu6 backed and vouched for, will be a memorable success is ii foregone conclusion, and that it will richly repay a visit may be accepted as equally certain. Three men in a boat on the Alle gheny river, near Pittsburgh, fell into the wuter the other night, and, not being able to swim, were in danger of drowning. But a companion on the shore begun lustily to sing "The Moonlight on the Luke," says an ex change of that city, in order to en courage them. And, although there waa no moonlight and no lake in Bight, they were so anxious to join in the chorus that they forgot they couldn't swim, and kept up until they were rescued. The probability is the men were so anxious to live and get at the singer that they could not sink. While workmen were drilling nn oil well in Washington county, Pa a chain broke and fell into the hole. All sorts of plans were vainly tried to get the chain out, and finally W. G. Phillips, a slender youth, had a rope tied to his ankles and was lowered head foremost. He managed to attach another rope to the chain and it was hauled up, but the rope around his own ankles almost slipped off while he was being hauled up. Imagine the horrible position of that youth if the rope had slipped off. The adjutant general's department haa on file many applications for re tirement of officers who have served 30 years. Under existing law the president csn, at his discretion, re tire such officers, but unless there is a most excellent reason why an offi cer should not be required to remain in active service sll such applications ara being refused. It is said to be surprising how many officers of 30 years' service are anxious to leave the active list. A grower in Maine claims to have gathered 17 quarts of currants from single bushes In his plantation. For the currant worm he uses London purple or Paris green before the fruit sets. If necessary to apply poison later In the season he uses white hellebore, one quarter pound to 16 gallons of water, applying with a spray pump. After the berriea are picked he sprays again to save the foliage. In ordinary apple years the waste of skin und cores amounts to 500 to 600 car loads, and during years of abundant yield it runs as high as 1,200 and 1,500 car loads. All this waste now goes to the factories, which make cheap jellies. There are upward of 140 of these factories in this country, and they have an annual capacity of some 200,000,000 pounds. Eastern cspitalists with unlimited capital at their command are planning to develop northern Georgia on a huge scale. They hare purchased 30,000 acres oi land in fire counties which are said to be rich in mineral resources.. As yet there is no railroad in that sec tion, but negotiations are under wsy for a line which will aid the enterprise mentioned. A Philadelphia man with liabilities of over $2,000,000 and assets of only $25 baa just gone through the bank ruptcy court. And still some people say Philadelphia Is a slow town.
