It is a mistake to remove too much honey and to depend on feeding liees should be moved out of a windylocation for the winter. The move may mean the loss of many bees but the loss will not be serious, as only the young bees reared late In the seaton live over the winter. Winter insulation may be applied any time after the colonies have been prepared for winter. Tacking cases of various sorts may be used. Wood cases made of good grade of siding are expensive but will last for many years. Tar or asphalt paper is satisfactory if properly applied. "Slaters' felt" is one of the most" economical tar papers to use. The colonies should be about 4 to 0 inches from the ground. If two or more colonies are to be packed, it is more economical to place them' In pairs, both facing toward the south or east If possible. Set them tightly against each other. The space l»etween the bottom boards and the ground should be filled with packing material. Then place the slaters', felt, around the two colonies, standing it on edge as tightly as possible, against the ground. tJfce laths to hold the fell In place. Four to sit Inches of the packing material should be packed between the felt and the hive sides. Then put on the top packing and fold the felt over. Use cn additional piece of felt for a cover.

If you put peaches on your breakfast'menu you will l>e giving your family Vitamins A 'and It and some iron (dried ^aches'are especially rich in Iron); and if yow exchange grapes or apples for oranges you will be getting some of that sa 'te Vitamin C that is in oranges, plus some V-Wamin B and valuable minerals.

Sumner Newton Blossom, editor of the American Magazine, went out to Hollywood to confer with John Iktrrymore. In the course of numerous discussions, the talk turned from literature to an intimate and essential article of baby's wearing apparel. It seems that there are two methods of folding and adjust ing the piece of linen, the actor hold ing that one was far better and the editor, who has had experience with white ducks since he was a lieutenant In the navy In the World war, advocating the other. The discussion went on -and on, until quite late: in the night. • • • Finally, neither being able to clinch his argument, I Surry more suggested that they awaken the Barry more baby and try out both methods.

Warm Storage Is Best x j k for Potatoes at Start Potatoes should bejstored at a tem perature around 50 degrees Fahren helt for the first few weeks, says Prof. Ora Smith of the New York State College of Agriculture, as this temperature will allow cuts and bruises on the tubers to heal. Potatoes which are stored Immediately at a temperature of R5 degree*, fall to heal and lose as much, as !2"> per cent In weight by decay. They also lose much additional weight by shrinkage. An approximate temperature of 50 degrees may he obtained by keeping the doors and windows of the storage open during the dav.tjo let In warm air, and closed at night. Or-, If the weather Is extremely cold, a wood* or coal stove might he used. After the first few weeks, the ten»- perature should be- lowered to 3(Kt8 degrees Fahrenheit, ami this temperature should be maintained during the entire storage period. The humidity should be between 8S and 95 per cent, or just below saturation, so that no moisture condenses on the tfalls or ceiling or collects on the top layer of potatoes." If the temperature Is low, usually no harm results even If the top layer of potatoes Is moist. 1 Why Balls Are on Cow's Horns vTnere are sometimes t«i I Is on the ends of the horns of cattle.
