with the _idea .of furnishing several

water may become warm and stale or
the barrels covered with a dirty scum
which .seerns to make at 'unhealthful

Is one of the common causes of di-
gestive troubles in poultry during hot
weather and the imaoetanf point is
not 'so much to save labor as. to furn-
ish those birds with a supply of 'pure
fresh water at all times.
Peats and thieves are another of
the free range poultry problents.
Weasels and rats can be elhninated by
raising the colony houses about a
oot from the ground. This furnishes
o breeding places beneath the houses.
Stone heaps And -brush piles should
also be removed to keep 'pests away
from the range. A good -watch dog

near the ground is -a great protection
to the `poultry. Steel traps. on poles

dead hawk to a pole on the -range will
also help to keep them away. One
poultryman reports hanging some bits
of bright tin to a pole on the range.
The flashing of the sun against the
tin seemed to keep the hawks away
from the range.
Lockitg each colony house at sun-
down seems to help in preventing
poultay,thieves. Then the poultryman
can tell if any thief has entered the
house. The lock seems to keep them
from trying to enter. A—good dog

• New seedings of clover and tim-

are better suited for this purpose than
horses and cattle but care must be
used to prevent them grazing the new

Extensive developmentsare expect-
vs. Outside.,
-Whether towinter'in the cellar or
outstde is a question that -every bee-
keeper has to settle. Where the winter
is long and steadily cold; the cellar is
usually more satisfictory, but outside
wintering' succeeds in some moderate-
ly cold places if proper precautions
are taken. At the. Central Experi-
mental Perm, Ottawa, the two me-
thods have been compared during the
last five years. Wintering outside has
been done in an apiary protected.from
wind by a board fence 8 feeChigh the
hives placed -in cases nutde to 'holal
four colonieg each with packing ma-
terial around the sides, beneath, and
above the hives. The cellar was a
low dry one under the Administration
Building, which was heated all winter:
The results have been very close, but
outside wintering has brought the 41-
onies forward slightly earlier in the
spring.
In the wide' belt -where -both cellar
and outside wintening are about equal-
ly satisfactory; the deciding factor ars.
pears to be'aconvenienie. If the bee-
keeper 'has a well insulated and dry
cellar:by using it he will save the
expense of constructing- wintering
cases, and also a Wind -break, if this
is not present. For a few colonies in
a -cold region, a hoarded:in part of the
dwelling house basement makes a
good cellar for the bees, and it is an
advantage if the basement contains
a furnace. Such a cellar should have a
steady temperature somewhere be-
tween 42 deg. and 50 deg. F. In out-
side wintering, it is veryamportant to
-protect the apiary from wind. Out-
side wintering -has the adaantage that
the bees may be laft without atten-
tion throughout the -winter, where'as
in many cellars in the milder arts of
Canada, the ventilation bas to be
watohed and controlled. Outside
wintering has been very,successful at
the Expeeimental Farm at Kentville,
N.S., but at the Exporisnental Farm at
Brandon, Man., the winter has been
found too seveae for the best yesidte.
For successful wintering; more ina.
portant than the method is early and
careful preparation for winter. For
example, one cannot expect cellar
wintering to be successful if the bees
are left outside until zero weather, or
if they are brought -out very early in
the spring. Nor can one expect good
results in outside wintering if .pack-
ing is ,delayed until cold weather.
Neither method will succeed if the
colonies do not contain plenty of bees,
especially young bees, and, above all,
abundance of wholesome stores, pre-
ferably clover honey, or syrup made
from white granulated sugar, stored
in the combs before cold weather.
Mice, if they get into the hives dur-
ing the winter, will ruin the colonies

rate of 12 tons per acre. This work
should be done immediately after the

From Log House to Cottage.
When. we used -to see my friend's
place, the -only buildings on it were
an old log house and a barn without
battens. The lend was not very good,
and -there were only a few acres of
it. No one who had lived there before
expected to make a living ofrthe farm,
but depended for his food and ves7
emistence on what he -could earn work-
ing for the neighbors.
A new man came to the place. He
brought with him a wife and little one,
and a fine ambition. He made the log
house a.s comfortable.as he could and
then turned his attention to the little
farm. For a garter he set out a lot
of- raspberry plants and some fruit
trees.
"A good many of the neighbors
laughed about those berries. It was
more than ten miles to market. How
could any man make muck growing
-berries for folks as far away as -that?
It wouldn't pay; the fruit trees might
bring in something sometime, hut he
wouldn't live long enough. to see them
bear.
Other crops were grown on the
small piece of land. He made it work
to the limit-al.:no waste land anywhere.
It -was not long before the berries
began to hear. The young couple got
up and picked them early in the morn-
ing. Then the wife drove ten miles
to market, starting many times. be-
fore the neighbors were up.
The trees are in bearing now. Other
berries have been set out and more
trees. The old log house is gone—
went a good many years ago. In its
place there as a nice MO frame
house. The man and his wife are be-
ginning to "see through," and, tha
seeing is good. Folks have stopped
laughing. They are trying to do
something like it themselves.

Beginnings of Solomon's Reign, 1
Kings, 1: 1-8: 15. Golden
Text, Job 28: 28...
Chapters 1 and 2 of the first book of
Kings are introductory to our lesson,
and should be read with care. We see
David grown old and stricken in years.
His reign has extended over about
forty years, from about 1010 to 970
B.C. Now some of those about him,
who had been Most loyal to him'an-
ticipating the end of his life, take
steps to aecure the succession to the
throne of his son Adonijah, and at
the same time to secure their own
places of influence and authority in
the court. Nathan the prophet inter-
feres, however, on behalf of Solomon,
son of David and Bathsheba, and re-
minds David that he had promised
the succession to Solomon (1. Chron.
22: 6-10)-. With the king's authority,
and in company with Zadok the priest,
and Benaiah, Captain of the guard, he
acted- so piomptly that Solomon was
anointed and publicly proclaimed king
while the other conspirators were
feasting and talking together. The
eity welcomed. Solomon with glad ac-
clamationsa with music and with
great rejoicing.
Solomon began his reign well, with
fothearance and clemency toward his
opponents and with his father's bless-
ing upon him. It is unfortunate for
David's memory, however, that he
should bave charged Solomon to exe-
cute vengeance upon two men whom
he himself had spared during his life-
time, ;Loeb, who had so long com-
manded his armies, and Shimei, who
had cursed him from the roadside
when he fled from Jerusalem. No
doubt Joab, for his crimes of murder,
and Shimea for his foul and disloyal
abuse, had -richly deserved punishment,
but it would have been in harmony
with David's better nature, and a bet-
ter example for his son if be had
marked his last hours by acts of for-
giveness and mercy, rather than by
suds bloody injairctions.
Soon there was evidence that Aden-
ijah's presumption svas not yot ended,
and in a fit of target Solomon ordered
his death. In this, howe-vet, and in
obeying his fatherai commands; -Solo-
mon appears to have -believed that he
was acting justly, and not only free-
ing his throne from dartgee, bat also
freeing himself from responsibility
for the crimes of Joab a-nd Shimei. See
2: 81-44. So, he declares, Xing Solo-
mon shall be blessed, and the throne
of David shall be established before
the Lord for ever.
One mug learn to look upon the
chanacters ana deeds of David and
Solomon with an appreciation and
understanding of the barbarous times
in which they iived, of the primitive
ideas of social ordee and justice which
th.ers pyevailed, and of the turbulent,
violent, and unscrtpulout character
of some of the men with whom they
hadto deal, David confessecl on one
ocerssion that his nephews, jamb and

setxunt 41 the Load, had made in the

fiees which Solomon offered there was
accompanied, no doubt, by much feast-
ing on the.part of the large company
who went with him. (2 Chron. 1: 1-6.)
Ask What I Shall Give Thee. The
dream is understood by the historian
to represent truly the character of
Solomon at the beginning of his reign
and the deliberate chores which hs
then made. The Lord grants not only
the wisdom to judge the people right-
ly, hut riches and honor besides in
great abundance. It would have been
well indeed for Solomon if the wisdom
which he sought at the beginning had
abode with hire to the end of his
reign.
"I Am But a Little Child." He re-
fers to his lack of experience rather
than to his age, for he had attained
years of manhood send was already the
father of an infant son. His modesty
and appreciation of his father's good-
ness are very creditable to him.
An Understanding Heart. Solomon
had some realization of the greatness
and complexity of the task of govern-
m.ent. He wanted to do well, to judge
rightly, to discern between good and
evil. He believed that suoh under-
standing. and -such power was a gift
of God. The speech pleased the Lord.
It seems strange to us that Solomon
should be assured by the Lord that
there had not been and would not be
one like him, and ono is tempted to
believe that these words have been
added by the historian. And yet, is it
not true, as a matter of history, that
Solomon's name stands alone and
unique? There has not been one like
him. He combined in a remarkable
way in himself piety, learning, luxury,
and love of splendor,
Power Farming for Women.
Power farming makes work on the
farm lighter and pleasanter for the
farmer. that fact is well established.
But --what does the farm woman think
of the new wiankle in agriculture? A

ponies saia recently that faem women

Now a-nd then we find farm hands
who fit in pleasantly at the family
dinner table and with the rest of
home iife but we all know—at least
we women—that the average hired
man .and the service the housewife has
to give him are far from being un-
mixed joys. -So it has come about that
the women's view of power farming,
which did not seem to figure in the
beginning, is now having a direct ef-
fect -on installation of power farniing,
arid wife %miles as broadly as husband
when the tractor and motor truck do
the work.
Daughter, too, .of course, shares her
mother's relief at less work in the
house. In many cases she likes power

a hand in it. She has been driving her
