EXCELLENT HEN HOUSE.

Ornament in poultry houses should
be desirable, especially if th

Ivoca ted
struction is equally simple and
and such are the points udvoe
lor the one represented in the ac
companying illustration, lu fact, it
contains some improvements over the
ordinary kind of building, whi.-h

inches dee), hihI scattered aliout tlic
floor, but not under the roosts. The
door has n fixed step a foot hili,
and hence does not open on the level
of the outdoor step. The floor should
consist of earth raised nix inches
above the level of the surface outside
by means of broken stone which, en
closed as they are by the foundation
wall a foot high, will tend to keep it
practically dry, provided there is food
drainage underneath nnd the location
itself is not too wet. There may be
a good yard in front fenceir with
wire netting, but this is not strictly
necessary albeit very convenient at
times.
The dimensions of the building may
be varied, of course, to accommodate
the number of hens kept, one lsxS
feet being suflicient for 50 fowls. The
windows in nil cases should be made
to open by lowering the upper half,
ns i shown in the picture, and whol
ly protected on the inside by wore
gauze. Ventilation is thus secured in
a simple manner, nnd in summer the
sashes can be removed, leaving only
the wire gauze.
The roosts should be made in a
frame hinged to the back of the
house, and rest at the front on posts;
they can then be raised for 5-.- nur,

The Cyprians are the greaii -t honey

of beauty, if nut u joy forever.
I Italian liees were first introduced
into the Tinted States direct from
Italy, early in 1800, by a purchasing
agent of the commissioner of agrieu!
Hire. They are liked better than otln t
i races, which, though better honey
gatherers, are not as easily subdue, i
;and handled. I think their golden jel
low color has much to do with thi ir
popularity. Italian bees do not winter
as well in a cold climate as the com
mon black or brown bee, but they de
fend their hives better against ninth
and other robber bees, and are more
energetic in gathering horiey.
The smallest bees known are natives
of the West Indies. They build in the
open air, fastening a single comb to
the branch of a small tree or shrub.
This comb is no larger than a man's
hand and is very fragile and delicate.
There are 100 worker cells to the
square inch of surface. The tiny work
ers' bodies are longer than house flies
and more slender. They are blue
black in color, with part of the ab
domen a bright orange. These dimin
utive bees gather very little surplus
honey, therefore their cultivation
would not be profitable. Farm Jour
nal. Winter Care of Ponltry.
No one who does not take an inter-
est in poultry can expect many eggs in
cold weather or when the ground is
covered with snow. My experience is
keeping the roosting place clean, good
shelter and a varied diet. To promote
laying, feed alternately wheat, buck
wheat, oats, scalded bran sometimes
seasoned with pepper and occasionally
a little corn. Onions chopped fine and
mixed with their food will promote
health, also scraps from the table; and
thick, sour mi'.k placed where they
can get it is also relished. Where milk
is not at hand keep clean water within
their reach. , Crushed oyster shell and
gravel and a dust batb, are necessary.
With this treatment hen will pay well
in winter- Mrs. E. Bates, in Epitom-
1st. ;,

boards are not needed-- Qive the bees

They knew their c.,1 lived anil xnj deased
with Ins people. 'I'hey broke fori ii .nto re
jiin inu w hich la-ted many days. There was
worship in tiic temples and the (loved, and
infinite Kindness everywhere. Tliroii(li cen
tury after century this religious nnd fes
tival observance was had, nnd the remains
of it are seen today in the chief holy day
of tlie ureal Catholic church during the
vernal season, nit hunch now held in com
memoration of a clan. ler and more glorious
event.
The Xew Year oh-errancc, then, is the
survival of n day beyond the period of its
effective use. (luce a sublime object les
son, it remains solely ns a r nl of tlie
beginning of n new year, arbitrarily fixed
by man. Its position in a. peculiar one. It
is neither the bcKiuiiing of any one of
the four seasons, nor the end of any one
of them. It is not the commencement,
necessarily, of a week, even. It does but
assert for man that by his choice of c impu
tation a Xew Year has begun.
Yet, (i a to the ancient, in to the modern,
Xew Year teaches, after all, the same les
son. It tells that tlie old year is dead, and the
j Xew Year is born. It declares tlie niortaj
I ity of all things, and it proves tlint the
' mortal shai) nut on immortality. II. leache

way for the living year, and t hut t he chasm
is invisible between the living and the
dead. A single till;, jus1 , nr Ink of the
cluck, and in tlie minute interval the (lid
Year was and the Xew Year is, ninl from
this lesson one may learn that the sum
of all the lives that have been is but the
expression of the lives that are, just as
tlie result of all the years that have been
is found in the Vew Year just begun.
