Bean Diseases 1 Now that the most active part of the year is over and the bees are safely Packed away in their winter quarters, the beekeeper should turn his atten- tion to the preparation foe next year's activities. As the honey gathering sea- son is comparatively short and things move very rapidly during that time, success •depends mainly Upon having everything in readiness before it is actually needed. Much of this work can be done during the winter months. Ona of the most valuable assets of • the beekeeper is a good supply of empty combs at the commencement of the season and great care should be taken to preserve them during the winter months from the ravages of mice and wax moth. A good method is to place the eombs in supers and to tier the supers up oue above another with a eheet of paper between 4ach and a hive cover on top of the tier, this. will prevent the mice from get- ting at them. The combs should be stored in a. dry Old place. Exposure to zero weather will destme the larvae Of the wax moth. Fumigation with carbon bisulphide will also destroy them but care must be exercised in handlipg this material as it is highly inflammable. All supplies should be thoroughly gone over and put into working shape. If any new supplies are required, or- der them as early as possible and get them made up before sPring. BY eending early orders, Yee not only benefit Yourself bat you are aiding the manufacturer to fill all orders in time. It is not advisable to put foundation in the frames till spring M it becomes very brittle in the cold weather and there is danger of break- ing It in handling, If you have any old broken combs, cappings, etc., now Is a good time to get them rendered, using a wax press for this purpose and to have the resulting wan made into foundation. Protect your beesefrom mice by hay- ing the entrances to the winter cases reduced too small or by covering with Sa screen too small fel' mice to get through, but large enough to allow the bees tcr pass through freely. The entrance of the ,heves in the cellar een also be closed by this acreening. The temperature of the cellar ahould be kept at about 46 P. The cellar should be dark, and well insuleted against ehangee in temperature. If the bees were pleased in whiter quarters rather light in stems, it may become Imeessare to feed them before bringing them out in spring. For this purpose, tandy made as follows is recommended: Otir 6 peunds white 'eig'hth sugar into one) end one- eighth pints of boiling Water. When the sugar is thoroughly dissolved, add 1-4 teaspoonful tartarie acid and boil tt, temperature of 240 P. over a hot fire form 3 to 4 minutes withent stirring.

It is even without smoke funnels to belch a chal- lenge to an enemy. The Furious has a length of more than 500 feet and stands high above the waterline.

Lacking in means of defence, it is capable of great offense. Fifty or more airplanes have their home on the Furious, and Itis these that the good ship is intended to send against the enemy. As bombers it is needless to say that these planes delivered from the flush deck of the Furious, just out- side of the gun range of the enema Mal BETaER HORSES IF THEY HAVE SPOHN'S, DISTEMPER COMPOUND When your horses are subjected to changing weather con- ditions of winter and spring, their systems become run down, with the result that they are very susceptible to DISTEMP- ER, INFLUENZA, PINK Ere, CouGHS or COLDS.
