Bee Motes tor January- If weil cired for, thj bees will need no at- entioii this month. Those that are in the cellar will l^ecome uneasy, if not keptat the right temperature, and well ventilated. During warm days, the bees may be carried out to their sumtLer stands, and permitted to fly. If the bees are quiet, it is best t'j leave them undisturbed in the cellar. Win- ter is a time of leisure for the bee-keeper, but it should not be a time of sloth and in- dolence. If the apiarist makes his own hives, sections, etc., this is the time for such work.- But as these are constructed so cheaply and weil at the factories, it is gen- erally best to buy ihem unless one is skilful with toob. It may be well to get the ma- terial in the "knock down," and then put up the apiary. This saves freight, and giv-es work for winter. Now is the time for studying np apianan subjests. Read the literature of the past year, study good books on bee culture, think well of what is read, and in the light of such information plan the work for next year. Every bee- keeper should ex)eriment some, as this makes his advancement greater, and gives added interest to the business. Now, in January, is the time to p'an experiments for the coining year. Honey shoold be kept during winter in a dry, warm room. When thus stored, the comb honey will not break badly, and the e^ltracted does not ferment. Even comb honey often ferments in a cool, damp room. Winter is a good time to bni!d np a mar- ket. For extracted honey, use attractive paUs and j vs, with neat labels, which state the kind of honey, and the came of the per- son that prodnces it. Neat pyramids of these packages, in the stores, will attract bayers. The size of the vessels should vary dmett,mSfC^mi ^^ be tao «iB«BkeJ*e^«^or e«rei»pattiagvp tlie litiBey.^ S^*^ p«lyan»nged, ertr^ dealer wiH be m^ too glad to give it a showy place bitas store. AwriteronbeecaltnreaMte *gâ„¢*i* wintering -wfaidi msy hare force. Ustanm attentiMi to the fact that hooey, the wmto- fool of the bees, is abnoet pnrdy a *ydro- carboo, and so needs littfe digestioi*, before it is absorbed into the nnritive fluid frwn the stomach. Then it is assimilated, and passes off as water and carbcnic acid. Thus the excretion, in winta-. is by rMjBraiion. That this cav go on fr«ely, the air most be dry. The wTrterthen'aasefts, that in those winters most remarkable f ot the bee nKrtality, the air has been very moist. We have the data whereby this can be determined, as in this p'aee the conditicm of the atmosphere as to moisture has been ra^orded dslly for 19 yeirs. If this is true, it snoc-E wtU why dry earth ventilation has been k snccessfuL as by that inethod the trr is kept from getting moist. The api«earsrc3 tf bees that die of "dysen- tery'" is alio favorable to this view they look dropsical, and seem fairly oozing with liquid eioeta. The past seascm has been a v ry remark- able one as to the honey yield. In parts of Ohio and the East, the honey crop lias been very iight. In Iowa, niinoiB, Texas, and other Gulf .States,the product was immense. In one case, in Texas, the yield of a single colony and its increase, has been reported as 1,300 pounds. The rejiuisites of a good bee-feeder are. that It will hold from one to five pounds of hocey or syrup that it can be placed im- mediately above the cluster of be«s, so that they can -visit it on very cool days in fall and spring that it can be closely covered â- with a quilt or chaff pillow ^ad that it Bhall be so made that fee Log can be done â- without in the least disturbing the bees. In tbe cool days of spring and fall, the feeder can be entirely covered by a qcilt or pillow, and no heat will escape, while as it is direct- ly over the clust^-, the bees will be able to take the feed on very cold days. Of course as the honey is turned on to the wire gauze, this will be sticky. â€" Amt^riran A^rifuUuriiU. Mew Tear's Customs. .S-ome odd New Year's customs formerly prevailed in the rural portions of Ergland, and in remote parts, may stfll be found to ^me extent. One of the most curious of these is called the " Apple Howling," which, besides giving the boys a frolic, was sup- |x;ed to secure a zxid crop of fruit for the coming season. On New Year's Eve a troop tf these sturdy country urchins, armsd wdth strong sticks, would visit all the orchards in the neigh borhocd, and en- circiin? the apple trees, repeat in chorus the folio-wing words '• .Stand fast root, ear weU top. Pray God send us a howling Crop. Every twig, apples big, Every bough, apples enon" Uats full, caps full. Pull quarter satks fulL" One cf their number accompanied this chorus on a cow's horn, and during the ceremony the boys rapped the trees with their sticks. We can imagine that " Apple Howling was a very appropriate name. The girls meanwhile were also having their sixtrt, going about from door to doDr. singing verses in honor of the season, and Ijearing the wassail bowl, a great bowl deck- el with garlands and ribbons, and filled w-ith a compKmition vf ale, nutmeg, sugar, and roaste'i c abs or apples, called " Lamb's Wooi." Those visited, drank each other's heilth ia this mixture, repeating Was-fuiiilf, or drinc-hf-il, which are the same as our "Come, here's to you!" or "Til pledge you 1" They generally bestowed upon the maiden wassaiiers, a small coin, or a little gift. An orange stuck -with cloves, appears to have leen a favorite New Year's gift in the olden ti.me, as well as gilted nutmegs^ and Kent sh pippin' In S'.otland, on the last day of the old year, the children e;o from house to house, asking for hiread and cheese, which they call " \Vog-money.-' They make their re- quest in these words â€" "Get up, gnide wife, and binno sweir (be not lazyt, And leal your cakes and cheese v,-hile j'ou are here. For the time will come, when ye'll be dead And meither need yoar cheese or bread." J t must be a hard-hearted person i ndeed who can refuse a trifle to these bonny lads and lassies. In France New Year's diy is celebrated more as it is in this country, by a round of visits being made between relatives and friends, and an exchange of bon-bons, and sweet-meats. It is a contest of politeness, which shall start earliest, and make the first call, but sugar-plums must always be presented either in fancy boxes or baskets, or simply -wrapped in paper. A dinasr is generally given by sooie member of the family, and the evening concludes with a sociat gathering. 'J^ Purs for Gifts. In Europe the fashion of giving real lace I y the bridegroom-elect to his bride has gone out, and in place furs are presented, and no corheille is considered complete without a sealskin pelisse, trimmed either -with beaver or Kamschatka seal The pelisse fits the figure closely, and sometimes it seems divid- ed in two parts â€" a jacket and a tunic. It is also considered high-t^ned to present a pair of sable tails, muff and trimmings, at usual- ly great expense. A m ag ni ficent wrap is of sealskin, with the bac of the skirt arranged in large plaits while the sleeves are in kangaroo shape. No trimliing is used on the garment, except the rich brandenbergs with which the front is fastened. The cloak is lined -with satin quQt- ed in diamonds. Seal-brown plush mantleacome in the same shape, only m them there are not box plaits m the back portion the side seams are open and filled m with plush fan plailing^ acrras which are looped rich festoons of cord tipped with handsome tassels, the topc^^t one com- mencing at tte sleeves under a rich chenille orient The front is secured with cords and tassels. wiix« mJ i__a.sj.

The work is to be com- pleted by July next, and the trade of Southern Manitoba will then be tributary to the dual cities as far as the South-western branch is extended. BRA'IK)y. A project is on foot to buOd a railway from Souris dty to this city. It is the in- tention of its promoters to ask Brandon for a bonus for ^,000, and the country of Brandon for $100,000. This line will be a link in the branch from Emerson, to this point, which will be built by the C. P. E. A by-law was carried on Monday em- powering the dty council to raise ?150,000 for permanent improvements in the city. The club was most scuccessfully opened on a recent night It is one of the bes in Canada and reflects great credit on its pro- moters. Business was somewhat suspended during the stormy weather. It, however, booms again the sleighing being good has brought in a large number of farmers. Brandon can boast that the branch of the Imperial here is the third largest agency of that institution. This is good showing for a town only seventeen months old. POKTAGE LA PRAIBIK. The cold snap of this week has given quite a boom to certain branches of business, and merchants have been doing a good town trade. A slight check was placed upon the gra'n receipts for a few days, hut grain is by no means scarce. A slight disagrcenaat has taken place between the wheat buyers of the town, and prices have gone up a httle to the profit of the farmer. 78o. was reached on the 8th for No. 1 hard.and next week 80c. â- will in all probability be paid. The rise does not affect other grains, and oats still sell at 40c. to 42c. barley, 45c. to 55c. po- tatoes, 75c. to 80c. The fight is between the Winnipeg miUers and the local buyers and may grow into a bitter struggle. Mr. Mdllvanie is evidently gcidg to have some trouble in securing a supply of water at his paper milL 'Boring operations have now been carried to a depth of 100 feet, and no adequate supply of water has yet been struck. The Revmr of a recent date says, the sale oilitamps at Portage Post ofice here i»r the months ending November 30th amoun^ted 'to §1,773.50. The gross business ot the money order dejiartment for the month of Novem- ber amounted to $9,092.21. RAT POETAGE. TTie Canadian Pacific Railway are erect- ing at present a large round house which â- will be capable of accomodating fifteen en- gines. The foundation f o.- a large paper mill is be- ing carried on. It is well known that the water power of E.at PortaQ;e is the largest in the North- west. Messrs. .larvis Berridgeof Winnipeg, and the Rainy River Lumber Company are in course of erecting two large sawmills, and when completed will employ about 200 men each. The lumber business is very brisk at present. The train which started from Pembina Mountain Junction on the South-^western branch of the C. P. K. on Wednesday failed to reach Winnipeg until Saturday. Several passengers, among whom was W. H. Harder, C. P. R. assistant traffic manager, had to drive from Moms to Emerssn, and reach Winnipeg by train fiom the south. â€" Winni- peg CommerciaL It is is estimated that about fifteen dif- ferent engines died out on different portions of the C. P. R. owing to the late severe cold. The rapid construction of this com- pany's lines has outgrown their water-tank accommodation, and the construction of quite a number of frost-yroof watering ar- rangements -will be completed as quickly as possible, so as to prevent a repetition of the state of affairs mentioned. There is at present a sreat amount of railway travelling between Winnipeg and Bat Portage,80 much so that it has beenneces- sary for the Canada Pacific Railway to put three passenger coaches on the daily train. I^rge crowds of men arrive each evening for the new saw-mills about to be erected on the Lake of the Woods. The accomodation is limited and the Ridout House is crowded each evening, so much so that no sleeping accommodation can be had. Great inconvenience is felt for the want of a bank in Rat Portage. It is surprising that a bank has not been opened before thi^ considering the amount of busiBess carried on. One merchant alone, turns over $100 000 per annum and now there is in course of erection two sawmills, a paper mill and the lumbering mdustry there is no doubt such an institation would not only be aconveni. ence to the pubUc. but would also be profit- able for any bank which may chose to open a branch ^It is hoped that a branch ofa bank wiU be opened befcve long.
