It seems to Improve the disposition, especially If there are some trees or shrubs about It Robbing la not prevalent cither, and the abseuce of that always belpa to make bees better nuturod. A good fall flow of honey is not an unmixed good, for careful trials have shown that there Is a superabundance of pollen grains lu this honey which does not make It the most desirable for winter stores, aud the presence of the pollen has a tendeucy to bring on dysentery with the bees, especially If they are wintered in the cellar without an occasional cleansing flight, which the outdoor winter protected beea have. This Is a mighty good argument In favor of wintering bees outdoors. 00 OX Farm and Garden FALL GARDEN WORK. Clssnlng Up and Care of the toil Ara Naoassa ry. All persons who are vented In the lore of good gardening practice the clearing up of their gardens In the fall of the year after hard freer.lng In or der to get out of the way work wlil h can then be better done than lu the spring, when all Is In a rush. In order j to kill the eggs and cocoon of Inserts i and fungous dlxentu war on the latter ' two enemies. niiiMt be continuous If the garden Is to be a success. Itakn up aud burn all rubbish, such as the do-ayed tops of plants and the leaves from trees and bushes, and sweep the gnrdn clean. This will kill many garden enemies, and you will not need to do It next spring. This Is tho time to make extra aoll for future use. If the soil In any part of your garden Is giving out or you need some for next season's potting of house plants make n comiKmt of one pnrt of gosl mellow loam, one-half part each of well rotted horse manure aud chopped up aods lUliNCIIKU Bull. rOH miSTl'.U WKATIIKH. fiotn the roadside, one-fifth Its bulk of sand (if the base Is.1 limestone loami or a dusting of powdered lime (If it be sandy loami uud u ipuirt of bone Hour to each biwlicl of the alHive mixture, all well mixed together and piled un der co.er over winter. The soil lu the beds In which it is not intended to plant bulbs for winter should be trenched that is, piled In rows so as to present as much surface as possible to the action of the front and the air during winter to absorii nitrogen end to make a medium for the action of the soil bacteria, which work In the humus lu the soil aud without which no soil Is fertile. The soil for the ImhIs and borders In which spring blooming bulbs ure to be grown should be deep und friable, tilled with bumus and enriched with well rotted horse manure, dug In deep ly. It Is best to dig the boII first and then chop It with the rake to uiake it fine und mellow Ix-fore raking. No commercial fertilizers need be used for outdoor bulbs unless the soli is new and larks one or more of the primary soil contents. In which case one con taining potash, phosphate or nitrogen may le used as needed. But there la nothing better for a loamy soil than stable manure. When the soil In the bulb beds and borders bus frozen solid It should he mulched with some good covering, such ns leaves, straw or bay, to a depth of six Inches. Strawy manure muy also be used to advantage aud this covered with brush to prevent the covering blowing off. This mulching should not be taken off until the hard frosts are past, as the alternate freez ing and thawing aud lifting the bulbs out of the ground will prevent their blooming- Farm aud Fireside. ...... t , T Tit TiTiti.

The work horse should havo six to ten pounds of hay in addition to the, e-.iru and carrct. A stumbling horse Is dangerous and Is usually made so by bad shoeing. Go to an expert, intelligent sboer. Nowadays farmers tire alive to tho fact that It requires strong bonies to perforin efficient work on the farm. Different qualities of the same kind of grain and hay enter the balanced mtion of the different experiment ata tlous for horses. Tlnre Is solid Kutisfactlon and en coin aswnent for a man to do his best in driving a well mated team that re apouds to good horsemanship. A properly conditioned draft horse, with Its necessary education largely completed, is one of the most perfectly finished products of the farm. Tuke pains to exercise the horses and harden them up before the real ipi'lnir work begins. This Is necessary if you wish to avoid delays and risks. One of the best preventives of icmtcbea In horses is to keep the feet rieou. If mud Is permitted to dry on the fetlocks Irritation Is likely to en-ue. II I I II I I II i I I ! I i"M"H"l-M"l SHEPHERD AND FLOCK. I Ja Never allow the sheep out In storms. In buying sheep do not pick out the big, course looking ones. A auccecsful feeder gives about one pound of osts and corn or lrnn aud corn per head daily. There are few crojm raised on the farm t lint vary aa little in price as wool. Arrnnge the troughs and feed ing racks so there will be no crowding. On all fine days the flock should have the run of a large, clean yard. A pound of mutton can be pro duced cheiiier than any other kind of meat.

Animals Mutt Be In Good Condition at Lambing Tim. Where good warm quarters are available It Is desirable to have the InmlM come enrly. aays the Kansas Farmer. If bad. stormy weather oc curs at this time the sheep farmer will find be must l constantly alert and on the Job If be would save a large per centage of his lamb crop. It Is some times desirab'e to have the lands come on the pasture, since tbey will require much less attention at this time. It la usually customary to turn the ram in with the flock at the time It la desired to begin breeding and let him remain with them throughout the win ter. Some flockmasters make a prac tice of locking the ram up and turn ing him with the flock at night only. Aa a rule. It Is not desirable to have the rams running with the flocks dur ing the summer season, especially where the lambs were dropped early. This practice might result In Inbreed ing, and the young lambs so bred would not grow out and develop prop erly. Kwes wh!ch are to produce lambs should not be allowed to run down and become thin and emaciated during the wluter season. Ill the desire to econo- j inli:e In feed tnere niit-'ht be a tendency in this direction, ami. owing to the fact that the heavy (!cce makes it dilHcult to observe how thin the sheep may be. the ewes might become badly run dowu before tho owner was awure of the fact. Ti e ewes must come to lamb ing time in good, thrifty condition or there will be practically no secretion of milk, and the ewes oftentimes will refuse to own toeir lambs. On the other hand, breeding ewes shou'.d not is? pampered r.nd kept confined closely. On every bright, clear day of the win ter they should be turned out to ranse over the prist ures nnd fields. If they do not have abundant opportunity to exercise and range about over the llelds the lambs will nlmost Invariably l-o bom weak nnd puny. It Is the usual practice to shear sheep lu the spring. If warm quar ters are not available the fleece should not be removed until the weather be comes warm enough ao that the sheep will not suffer from the cold. Whero the lambs come early the ewes are usually not sheared until the lambing season is over. If sheared before lambing time the ewes must be han dled carefully. Bran and 8oraninga- The federal department looking aft er the purity of feeding stuffB, baa de cided that the mixing of screenings and bran Is not bran and must be sold aa bran and screenings. The millers of the country in their interstate com merce trrnsactlons have made a stren uoua effort to change this ruling. They desire the privilege of mixing wheat screenings with wheat bran and label ing the mixture "bran." Feeders will not deny that screenings have feed value, but since screenings contain the weed seeds, chaff and straw In the wheat when originally shlppetl the mixing of brim with screenings reduces the feeding value very materially, and from no standpoint can it be consid ered the equal of pure bran. Farmers i should buy pure bran and not a mix ture of bran nnd screenings at the price of brnn. Silage For Beef Cattle. There is no roughago which Is of more importance to the producer of beef cattle than silage. The value of silage to the beef producer vuries con siderably und is dependent usm a large number of other factors. If rough fodders are scarce or are high priced. If the grain Is high priced or If the grain is so near a good market that much of It can be readily sold, silage will have a greater value than If the opposite conditions exist It Is a great saver of grain regardless of whether it Is to be fed to stock cattle or fatten ing cattle. It will lessen the grain feeding by practically the same amount as Is contained In the silage. DANGERS OF A COLD. Do you know that of all the minor ailments colds are by far the most ilatigeroue?
