There Is hu\ \ little opportunity during winter to give bcei attention , and the proper time to put them in shape is during the autumn months Fcodiug Hliould all bo done before cold weather sots iiij and they should bo settled in their winter qunrteis bofoto real winter is at hand It often occurs that winter overtakes us with colonies that lack food In such c.isos wo cannot possibly use Bvrnp for food , as the weather is too cold for the hoes to seal It over , aud un sealed stores will not serve properly for winter , says the American Agricul turist The molsturo which always arises from the bees in cold weather enters the unhealed honuv and dilutes it , making it very unwholosoino Our only resort , thurefoie , for feeding iu colli weather is to make candy and use it This Is vary good and hc .ilthful If properly made aud administered is made from granulated sugar by molting It , adding alittlo water no moio than will thoroughly ipelt the sugar when Itis boiled for i few minutesandpourod out into cakes or slates of three or four pounds ench When cool thib becomes very hard , almost like rock candy In feeding this it is placed on frainus just ever tlio cltibUr of boos where they can have access to It at all timei When in this position it receives the heat arising from the boos , and they re main on it all the time It is bo hard that it will last thorn a long whllo This candy may bo given bees at inter vals during the winter , and colonics may bo brought through in good Bhnpo that would have othorwlso perished This , or any other work that is neces sary to do with bees in winter , should bo done on warm days It will not dote to molest them on a cold diy , but it should always bo'done on days when the bees are Hying the MUkoni'l Antlrrut Ijaw There is juit now a very great inter est in all parts of the west over thoont- como of the enforcement of the anti trust law o Missouri Under the pro visions of Hid act the secretary of st.ito has boon orapqwercd to require sworn statements from the olllcers of all cor porations , whether homo or foreign , that they wore in no trust , pool or com bination which had for its object the artilicial enhancement of the price of those products Some nine hundred corporations have failed to furnish the allldavits , and the secretary has accord ingly revoked their charters , and they are now deprived of the use of the courts to collect any debt in the stuto It Is uot to bo expected that the law will bo enforced without a severe struggle , says the Iowa Homestead Wo notice that Congressman Noidringhaus of the St LouIb stamping company will head the rosibtanco to the law In refusing to make the required allldavit , the nt- tornoys of the stamping company make the following claims : That they ure operating under patents crunted t > y the United Stales ; thut some of their stockholders are living in other states , nnd that the Missouri law contemplates an abrogation ot the hitorst.ito commerce rights granted bv the constitution of the United btates For these and other roasona they propose , assneedily as possible , to carry the secretary before the United States court , whcio the power of the auto in the piemiaes will bo doQuiluly determined Nearly every kind of rascality tries to hide under a patent Notice has been served oa all foreign corporations that at the end of thirty days proceedings will bo instituted agaiust thcin in the courts Wo hope that the farmers of Missouri will stand by the sccrotary in his efforts to enforce the law The Mis souri law is not a toothless babe , like so many of the antitrust laws It hits a full sot of tooth , and can take hold Wo would like to see such laws in every state In fact , the states will bo com pelled , for the protection of the people , to enact and enforce them Sunday on the Farm Wo shall never forgot how clearly the sun shone and how still the winds were on these Sunday mornings of our childhood , muses the editor of the Iowa Homestead The horses scorned to behalf half aslocp as they stretched their necks la/.ily ever the fences , and the sleek oxen wandered leisurely ever the hills George Eliot has a vivid description of a farmyard on Sunday morning , She says : You might have known it was Sunday if you had only waked up in the farmyard , The cocks and hens scorned to know it , and made only crooning , subdued noises The very bulldog looked loss savage as.lf ho would have been satisllod with a smaller bite than usual The sunshine seemed to call all things to rest and not to labor ;
