‘Give Something for the Home!
Give something for the Baby, For Mother, too, and Dad, An engine for the Lad,
A doll for Sister, maybe,
And yet, this glad December, As up and down you roam,
The finest gift, remember, ls something for the home!
Though something for a minute, Some heart a moment cheers, The gift with Christmas in it is something for the years. The little gifts are pleasant, The gifts as light as foam, But, for the great big present, Give something for the home!
There isn‘t any other
That hea ""' hold as fast, That pleases Dad and Mother
' ""1 something that will lut- A chair, a table near it,
“own to light the gloom—
To hrio" the fihristmas spirit,
Give something for the home!

A Word T0 The Beekeeper
(Eirperimental Farm News) Bees need protection from cold and draughty homes. Winter is ap- proaching. the bees larder is well stocked, or should be. otherwise, valuable property is likely to be lost before next airing. Bees to be win- teired outside are no doubt snugly packed in their cases. but are they well protected against cold and driving winds? asks C. B. Gooder- ham, Dominion Apiarist. They need it. because such protection is 111st, as important as 00d cases and pack- ing material. f natural windbreaks are absent e slatted board fence a- bout six or seven fret high is a good substitute, The apfarv should be rotectcd on three sides at least, all our if possible. Bees to be wintcrc in cellars would be just as well in- side now. There is iio advantage leaving tlicm out, exposed to co d and changeable weather. waiting for a flight t-liev may never get. colony of bees offers a snug winter home and a nice supply for but. sucih boadcrs are apt to be very costly to the bcekeeper, protect your colonies from such pests. Bee equipment. is Ebipéilslve. and there- fore worth a fair amount of care. It does not. improve the appearance of the apiary nor prolong the lite of the equipment tself by leaving it lying around until wanted next summer. Drawn comb is perhaps the mot valuable asset's beekeeper can have. but mice and wax moth can ruin it in short time. Place the combs in siipcrs and tier the latter up with an inverted hive cover at the bottom and another cover on top of each pile_ this will keep out the mice. store the combs in a cold building, the moth cannot. work at freezing tciriieratures. Check over all used equipment as you put it a- way for winter, some of it may need repairing, which if left until next sprng may never be done. Do now is n good motto, procrastination may prove costly.
BETHLEHEM ONCE UNIMPORTANT
The city of Bethlehem, birth- place of Jesus Christ. was con- sidered least important among
ancient Pulfstine towns before the Nativity. Eut tradition has it that the birthplace of Jesus was dese- Grated bv a peqan temple cf Adonis before the Emperor Constantine uiit the Basilica of~the Nativity in A.D. 330. The Basilica is one o-l the oldsst churches in Chris- tendom and has a history 1.500 years‘ old. The original building
is still standing but it has been a1- l-"re:l_ by additions.
Jilong the crowded street they come and go Under the holly bouyhs and cedar wreaths; Surely some mighty truth has made it so.
And wrought this season when the tired world
L4 richer air, and human hearts are moved Beyond the joys and yrlefa of every day
To old fmnillar things, the long beloved
And precious things that living thrusts away.
No selfish urge has set the hurrying feet No selfish urge has set the huyyiny feel Of Christmas shoppers when the thousands
Theirs is a nerrand tremulous and sweet,
Stirred by the song of angels overhead; ' And laden arms bear gifts that strangely blur
