■nrytody expects to make some pres
ents at Christmas; perhaps they are
very small presents and a lean purse
compels the size of the gifts, but no
matter what you buy or make, you
| J should have a well defined idea in your
mind as to what you must do. to do
anything at all with satisfaction to
yourself.
First, set down on a piece of paper
the names of. those who are to be re
membered. Fix the amount you are
willing to spend, and then what you
think might be suitable for them and
satisfying to yourself.
After that list is completed, then set
down some nice little remembrances,
such as Christmas cards, etc., which can
be sent to those who do not expect or
desire Christmas gifts per se. but who
are pleaded to know that you had them
in mind.
Lastly, go over your worn or cast
aside things at home, and have a lot
of such things ready for the needy or
humble poor people who will feel bet
■ ter for the remembrance.
T cannot imagine a more dissatisfying
performance than to wait until Christ
mas rush is on and then make a break
for the stores when the clerks are al
ready overtaxed as to service and the
things badly picked over as to choice.
I think there is too much good money
wasted in these wild rushes? not to call
a halt on the rush performance, es
pecially for house mothers.
As a rule valuable gifts should be
i > confined to the dear ones of the house
hold. but a little money will go a long
tray in tasty little trifles that surprise
the recipients with their beauty and in
expensivenss.
But a person should be prepared to
do the work of selection in a systema
tised and pleasant wax.
a BILTEF VISIT TO LAGRANGE
Some weeks ago I had a letter from
the president of the Southern Female
college, at LaGrange, in Troup county,
asking me if I could find time to make
au address to his college girls during the
fall or early winter.
After one or two disappointments, be
cause a person at by age must be large
ly governed by state of health and
weather conditions. I finally reached La-
Grange on the afternoon before Thanks
giving. The day had been as balmly as
June, and the citizens were out en
joying the delightful Indian summer
' weather. The Southern Female college
was burned down two years ago and the
directors have had a hard pull to raise

Jtory. because the insurance had lapsed
J only a few days, so there was nothing
to do but begin de novo and replace the

to work and their own shoulders to the
wheel and have just finished a large
E three-story brick building on the old
site.
They had been occupying the new dor
mitory about a week, when I reached
the college and it was an inspiration to
me to see and hear of the Immense dif

1 have long indulged the opinion that
the education of a boy or girl means
their preparation for self-sustaining ac
quaintance with the active duties of later
life, after their school days are over. As
the world progresses there will be nec
essarily some sustained connection with
industrial education, and one reason
why the Tech school in Atlanta is be
come so popular is because the pupils
are equipped for positions that will start
them off promptly making a liv
ing, as soon as they receive their di
plomas.
All study and no play will make dull
pupils and while domestic service fe
not play. It is a diversion that gives
needful rest to the minds of pupils, and
they get a disciplinary training that is
helpful and instructive when the com
bine such domestic industry with tueir
studies. Some of the girls of the South
ern Female college are able to abate a
good deal of their expenses w|th ser
vices, and it means everything to them,
because they could not secure these ad
vantages without such abatement.
As all take a part, there Is no sense
of inferiority or menial employment, and
the president told me of the success of
some of these self-sustaining pupils that
was really phenomenal.
I had a good audience, and told them
something about conservation, a theme
that seems to be ever-widening in scope
and interest. It gives me great pleasure
to see young girls’ happy faces. I do
not think there is anything more beauti
ful in the world than the face of a
sweet, wide-awake, happy and useful
young girl.
They are the salt of the earth, the
very best influences that make for the
best things in human life.
LaGrange has a wonderful future
ahead of it as a railroad center. I can
not therefore, wonder at the spirit of
enterprise which enlivens their interest
in their fine collegiate institutions.
The citizens cannot afford to do less
than rebuild and generously sustain
their colleges at this point, because it
means unmeasured progress and certain
returns in commercial prosperity.
I was delighted to see how much land
had already been plowed for the crops
of 1911. and without a doubt the Atlanta
and West Point railroad is the smooth
est riding train that I know anything
about in Georgia. In every way the vis
it to LaGrange was enjoyable to me.

COLONY HOUSES FOR POULTRY
The main requirements of a good poul
try house are good ventilation and pro
tection from storms and cold winds.
Hens will not lay when weather condi
tions prevent them from scratching and
exercise. Many poultry houses have
proven failures because the variations in
night and day temperature were too
great. Prominent authorities on the
building of poultry houses state that ven
tilation can best be furnished by leaving
one end of the house open or covered
with burlap or canvas, using no glass
windows unless necessary for light. The
idea of building a warm house should be
abandoned. It Is shelter that is needed.
The house should be built in such away
that the fowls will not roost near the
open front where they would be exposed
to winds; nor should it face the prevail
ing winds. A long house is more expen
sive to build, for a given capacity s than
one more nearly square. A long, narrow
house is also a cold house, having more
exposed surface for a given capacity than
a square house.
Tlje size of house is necessary for a
certain flock will vary in different sec
tions. Where there Is little or no snow
and where the fowls can be outdoors ev
ery day in the year, two square feet of
floor space per fowl will be ample. Where
the climate is such that the fowls will
seek shelter part of the year, rather than
go outdoors on the range, considerably
more space should be provided, say four
to five square feet per fowl. The idea
should not be to crowd them so much
that their activity will be Interfered with.
Whether the shelter Is provided by en
larging the house or providing cheap
scratching sheds, is immaterial. Two

square feet per fowl, or even less, is am

Roosts should be made low or near
the ground—not higher than two feet.
PREPARING BEES FOR WINTER
By E. G. Herman
In considering the requisites for suc
cessful bee wintering, it may be well to
note that success is frequently hinged
upon very small things. The neglect
in attending to the small affairs of life
is sure to bring about disaster.
Bees starve to death with honey in
the hives, and sometimes that within
two inches of them, from the fact that
during cold weather bees form them
selves into one compact body, and when
all the honey is consumed within their
reach, unless the weather is warm
enough for them to change their loca
tion from one part of the hive to an
other, in order to reach their stores,
they will surely starve with plenty of
feed near them.
This is usually the case witVl single
walled hives, hence the option chaff
hives to confine the heat arisi'sj; from

the bees. Bees usually move toward
the warmer part of the hive. If the
sun shines on one side of the hive in
cool or cold weather, the cluster goes
to that side. I have often had colonies
eat out all the honey in one end of the
hive, and leave the other end full.
As to passageways through the combs,
there is a difference of opinion. How
ever, my experience leads me to con
clude that they are unnecessary. It is
true that they afford an opportunity for
an outer portion of the cluster to reach
an adjacent inner comb space if the
hees happen to be located directly over
the passageway and the weather is
warm, otherwise they serve no purpose.
I have settled down for my own
part on using a woolen blanket or
carpet cover, and on top of it, porous and
absorbent material such as sawdust,
chaff, cut straw and leaves.
The woolen material next the bees
conveys the moisture to the other side
of the piece of blanket or carpet where
contact with the absorbent material
causes it to pass upward, so rendering
it harmless to the bees.
I suppose there is the slightest pos
sible upward ventilation, a sort of slow
percolation of air and moieture, but it
works well, provided the entrance of
the hive is not too narrow and con
tracted.
Bees Inhale vapor, and when this va
por strikes the cold walls of the hive It
sometimes congeals into frosts, melting
Into water and running out of the hive
as soon as the weather fs warm enough.
Sometimes it merely condenses Into
water and runs out of the hive as soon
as enough is collected. Whether cold or
warm, this vapor is being sent off all
the time, only when it is warm enough
it does not condense into water or ice.
I It very often occurs that the entrance
of hives becomes clogged wdth dead
bees, and the colonies do not have ven
tilation enough. One of the indications

Coal Badly Scattered
BINGHAMTON, N. Y., Nov. 24
Many thousands of tons of excellent an
thracite coal is today scattered along a
20-mlle stretch of railroad track near
here, where a Delaware and Hudson coal
train of 43 cars ran away last night.
Thirty-nine of the cars broke off and
jumped the track, one after another
along the curves on the 20 miles of
' down grade. The wreckage will block the
I line for several days. All the men of
* the train crew jumped and escaped.
There are several reasons for this. Fowls
of the heavier breed cannot fly high, and
those of the lighter breeds frequently
injure the soles of their feet in jump
ing from high perches. Roosts should
be made all the same heights; for if
they are made some higher than others,
the birds will all flock to the highest
ones and crowd, which is undesirable.
When dropping boards are used they
should be low down, to permit of easy
cleaning. They should be .made of
matched lumber and be 20 Inches wide
for one perch and three feet wide for
two perches, the tirst perch placed at
least ten Inches from the wall. A

Poultry keeping Is most successful
where the colony system prevails. The
colony system means the housing of
fowls in small houses, preferably por
table, where the fowls have free range.
The chief advantage is that the fowls
are more active or busier than when
confined in yarde; second, there Is less
danger from outbreaks of disease, as
it is possible to keep the houses on
clean ground by moving them occasion
ally; and third, the fowls require less
feeding and care, as they pick up con
siderable food on the range. Another ad
vantage of this system is that the fowls
will rid the farm of many Injurious
insects, such as grasshoppers. Then, the
colony system will fit in with crop ro
tations, and for part of the year the
fowls will live on the stubble fields.
The Illustrations shown represent a
successful colony house used at the
Utah experiment station. The house has
a cloth window, and the traps are very
convenient, as they open from the out

of this is when you see water running
out of the entrance, which goes to show’
that the air inside is damp and impure.
Take a stout piece of wire with a hoof
on the end, and rake out the dead bees.
When frost forms about the inside of
the hive, the vapor from the bees, to
gether with the congealing of it in the
remote parts of the hiv£, gives a bluish
white appearance to the surface of the
combs, which by the Inexperienced, Is
often mistaken for mold. ‘
The bees also must be kept dry. A
substantial hive, with a tight roof, will
keep out the rain.
A few inches of dry, porous material,
such as chaff or ground cork packed
between the cluster and the roof, will
have a good effect on keeping the bees
comfortable, allowing the moisture to
pass off slowly.
A draught would be injurious. We ad
vise a wind-break of some sort on the
north and west sides of the hives. Also
guard against the mice, and have the
hive entrances shallow and long, rather
than round.
Do not neglect the bees; see to it that
they have food enough and to spare.
Bees differ from other farm stock in
this respect, that they can be given their
full supply of food at once and they
will help themselves as their need re
quires. Plenty of good food above the
cluster is what takes them through every
time.

Mrs. Christian, who is a very distant
