Air pressure will prevent the syrup running out any faster than it is taken by the bees. Five or six of these jars can be placed on one hive at once and warm packing placed around them to prevent the escape of heat from the colony. In a few days the bees will have taken the syrup all down and stored it in the combs when the jars can be taken off and the packing fixed down on the hives for winter. The Ontario Agricultural Collegar, Guelph, is offering a free course of lectures on beekeeping lasting two weeks during January, Persons inter- ested in taking this course should write to the President of that Institution, asking for a copy of the programme. Whit would make the greatest im- pression on a man who had been shut away from human intercourse and denied the use of newspapers for five years - what •tl ould most forcibly attract his attention on regaining the society of his fellowmen? "Well," you say, "he is fairly certain to be interested in learn- ing whether there's been a change of Government." True, and probably he will show mild exeitment if you can tell him there's been a big war in Europe. But it won't be until you get down to a recital of things that come closer to him, personally, that you'll bring him to his feet with eager questioning. Tell him a mighty empire has fallen, and -so long as it isn't HIs empire -a drop curtain of highly embroidered indifference will mask his face. But tell him the auto- mobile bas been so simplified that he can now buy one for the priceofa horse and buggy, and he'll promptly bombard you with questions. A revolution in China may be a world event, but it wouldn't mean Ls much to him as the perfecting of a shaving apparatus that would do away with the necessity of pur- chasing new blades or honing old ones. If You had been a hermit for the past five years, the news of an earthquake in San Francisco wouldn't really mean so much to you as the information that you can now hear any famous opera singer in your own home at the cost of a few cents per hour. Which is only another way saying that the phogograph is of more PERSONAL interest than an earth- quake. You see how it is: Newspapers carry a "news of merchandise" that is just as vital,, as the "news of events" which the editors gather for us. And since this "news of merchandise" finds its only expressicu in the form of Ad- vertising, must we not admit that the Advertising colarnns are quite as worthy of our serious attention as the scariest "scare head"or the most ponderous ed- itorial? Shut your eyes to Advertising -=and you shut out the news of commer- cial progress and development --the news of things that make life worth the liv- ing. Dou't Lei: The Pees Starve. Buckwheat honey seems to be a very scarce article this fall. Dealers in this product who usually buy and sell from fifty thousand to one hundred thousand pounds every year are having greater difficulty than usual in getting their winter's supply. As bees in a great many parts of Ontario depend on fall honey for their winter's stores, this would indicate that they will also he running short before spring unless the beekeepers are careful to see that they are suppliedwith artifical stores. The Provincial Apairist, Mr. Morley Pettit, gives the following directions for mak- ing feed for wintering bees: Place twenty pounds of water in a boiler on the stove and bring to a boil, then stir in fifty pounds of best granul- ated sugar, stirring thoroughly until fully dissolved; bring the syrup nearly to,a boil again and stir in three tea- spoonfuls of 'tartaric acid previously dissolved in half a cup of water. This makes a good thick syrup, which will make the very best of winter stores for bees. A good colony of bees will require thirty or more lbs. of this syrup unless they are well supplied with honey. At this late date the only feeder to use for outdoored wintered bees is the half gal- lon fruit jars. Fill the jar, draw over the top of a piece cheesecloth, then screw down the ring holding the cheese- cloth tight. The jar of syrup is now placed upside down on the frames of WAS SO NERVOUS COULD iwOT EAT OR SLEEP.

Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutive' • disease, requires a con- stitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting direct- ly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in do- ing its work.

Few people understand how really oner- ous have been the duties which Lord Knollys has carried out for so long. The work of the King's private secre- tary is never finished. It is of so con- fidential a nature that, next to the King himself, the private secretary knows more of the things that matter than any man in the kingdom. The confidential reports of the Prime Minister, the For- eign Secretery and all the other officers of State as well as all social matters, pass through his hands. He opens the despatch bags and goes through the con- tents with the King hearing his views, taking notes and after framing re- plies. He is thus conversant with the inner working of the machiney not only of the kingdom but of the whole empire and has more intimate knowledge than than any one of the relations of this country with other Powers. Prime Min- isters and Foreign Secretaries come and go, but the King's private secretary re- mains. It is no wonder that Lord Knollys at the age of 74 feels that it is time to retire from such an exacting post. Preparing the Goose for Cooking. After killing the goose, dip in water near the boiling point until the water has penetrated to the skin, then roll in an old blanket or anything that will pre- vent the escape of the steam. Leave about ten minutes, then begin with the legs and rub the feathers toward the bead. After the goose is cleaned of feathers dress as any other fowl. Some lake to pluck the large feathers while the fowl is still warm, then dip in boil- ing water, wrap up, and the steam wil loosen the down so it can be rubbed off. To truss the goose, cut off the head and feet, split the skin at' the back of the neck and take out the gullet and wind- pipe; make a long slit to the breastbone and remove the intestines without breaking. Clean the inside of the car- cass and remove the olg bag from the rump. Fold the wings back and, with a darning or other long needle and twine, fasten in the long skin; put the legs close to the sides and fasten with a stitch through the body of the goose, sew up the vent and fasten down the legs with a stitch through the rump. It is now ready for stuffing and cooking, or cooking without stuffing - Cooking Notes. When making 'thickening' for sauces, gravies, etc., use half flour and half corn starch. This is much better. Before cooking a ham take off a thin "shaving," also the rind, and see how much nicer flavored your ham will be. To prevent eggs from sticking to the pan or breaking, add a spoonful of flour to the grease in which they are fried, When boiling molasses or sugar can- dy rub the dish in which it is being boil- ed with butter alt arouna about an inch from the top and it will not boil over. Try whipping the cream in the upper part of a boiler With fine ire or cold Water laced in the lower art The cream will not spatter so much and will be 'kept cool and will whip mach more quickly. ..:.r..i..*.,..

'Twere better to wait for a later date When things are a bit more warm. The trouble that lies in the way of the wise Who'd leave had habits behind. Their virtuous sniff is frozen stiff By the chill of the winter's wind. The good intent of the righteous bent Is nipped by the frosty air, And the news turned leaf soon comes to grief And withers beyond repair. Old Janus bold, with his blasts so cold, Bites deep on the virtuous nose; Reform is lost in the awful frost That comes with the month of snows. 'Twere better by much to await the touch Of a genial May day sun For putting on ice your favorite vice, With which you at last are done. For the tenderest flower in Nature's bower That time can never evolve Is a sturdy oak, and that's no joke, Compared to a good resolve. And that is why, with the new year by, To my vicious ways I cling, And contra bonos mores go 'fill the warmer days of spring. -John Kendrick Bangs In Harper's Weekly. Baths for Plants. It is not unlikely that you will note with disappointment that some of your cherished window plants are not so sprightly and fresh looking as when you brought them into the house, and it is more than likely that the difficulty rests with dust clogged pores. It will be found of great advantage to give the foliage a good washing occasionally with a spray or shower of water. A good point to remember is that an oc- casional good Soaking, rather than a frequent surface watering, is better for the roots, will produce better flowers and there will be less likelihood of in- aeLta. Every two weeks is not too often to give the plants a good tub soaking, end for this purpose a bath- tub of quite win% Water is best.

FEEDING GRAiN TO YOUNG CALVES As Boon ar the calf is licked dry it usually gets up and begins to suck. Some farmers do not allow it to suck l at all, but it is better to allow the calf with to stay the cow for a favi days. if the cow's udder is at all inflamed or caked the rubbing by the calf seemitto help to soften it and reduce the Whoa - elation, but two to five days ought to be sufficient. At all events, the calf should be fed the colostrum or first milk of the mother, Just after weaning the calf should not be fed more than ten pounds of milk per day. divided into three feed- ings. This should be given at blood temperature, about 100 degrees. The amount of milk then can be increased gradually to twelve pounds at the end of two weeks. Do not yield to the temptation to feed more, because over- teeding is the chief cause of scours. 1^rom aloe to seven weeks old the ra- tion may be ii creased from fourteen to fifteen pounds daily, while eighteen to twenty pounds may be given to a calf three to four months old. After two to three weeks skimmtlk may be substituted for a part of the whole milk, but the change should be The Ayrshire cow is said to be tho most economical producer of milk and butter of any of the eo called dairy breeds, giving the largest Qua nifty for the feed consumed and yielding the largest net profit. The Ayrshire has a strong, healthy body, with plenty of vitality and vigor, is rarely sick and almost never has any disease of udder or teats. The Ayrshire cattle are of medium size, weighing at maturity about 1,000 pounds. In color they aro red and white, the relative pro- portions of the two colors ,being greatly varied. The Ayrshire cow 1s tough and hardy, with a vigor- ous appetite. made gradually, not faster than oue fo two pounds per day. A little grain may be fed after three to four weeks, preferably placed in a box after the milk Is eaten. One-half to three-fourths of a pound of ground corn or oats daily makes a good feed. The starches of these feeds must be acted upon by the saliva of the mouth in order to digest, and therefore the grain should not be given in the milk. as It would be swal- lowed without chewing. Calves will begin to nibble on ,tray ate about tour weeks of age and Can be fed what good, clean hay tbel• will eat. Alfalfa is perhaps too Igxative to ire ra'L te, young calves, bur may be giv- en after three' :o •tour'months. All changes in feed should Go gradual. Calves should not be turned out to pas- ture unless they have hada little green flied before. as it is liable to cause i:rours. Give all the fresh, clean wa- ter the calf will drink. -l3. 0.
