may be used to cover plants in the

,
Are you making any provisions to i
< lielp the birds through the winter? '
Now is a good time to purchase !
hooks and send for bulletins or |
magazines in order to pot new ideasj
for making the work inor? profitable
mext year. j
It is a good timo now to handle, j
r begin the handling of celery. /
Press the leaves together with one j
Hand and with the other pull the *
atoll well up around the plant, taking
care not to get dirt in the heart. |
This will train the leaf stalk to an |
upright position, allowing the blanch- 1
4ng process to be continued by any
4eoired method.
Grow a few bulbs irt pots; they
make nice house plants for winter r
blooming. j!
Make cuttings of bedding plants
vbefore'they are killed by frost. Tip
cuttings are best.
Why envy your city neighbor his
nice lawn? At small cost you can
Have one equally as pretty.
A good rule to follow in gatherling
apples or other fruit is to handle
them "like eggs." Bruised fruit
will not keep.
If it was not possible for you j
to sow your orchard to clover or |
wetch, plant rye or oats as a winter
cover.
Wintering Bees.
Cietnson College, S. C., Nov. 3.?
in the North wintering bees is a
>r more serious question than horei
in the South. Nevertheless, there (
ire several pointers which should he <
tept in mind by beekeepers in South
Carolina. In the North double
iailed hives are used, but as a rule
tingle walled hives will be sufficient
pi this State.
Whenever possible the hives ought

rotected as much as possible by j
ulldings.
Perhaps the most important con-i j
'deration 4s the danger of starva- ]
?n. Where the temperature is j
irm enough so there is more or j
us activity in the colony during the ^
inter theie is a large amount ot, 1
oney consumed by the bees than
1 cooler climates. So it is very1 ou
.lportant to examine all colonies
{ior to the preparation for winter
|see if they are supplied with tn
PMRh honey. A colony should th

.iry Aiien it noes into the winter th
id it is desirable that this should l?

inter comes on. Sufficient stores n<ay
be supplied by placing in the an
t(e frames with sealed comb or by I li
