correspondent of the Western Honey Bee
gives the following result of an experiment
made to ascertain the duration of life in bees
thought would satisfy myself in regard
to the life of the bee in the height of the
working season. had a stand of the little
black bees of the genuine singers, and ON
the morning of May 80 l killed the queen,
and by carefully looking through their hive l
found one black drone, and destroyed that in
the evening of the same day. l put in cell
for yellow queen ON the I'd of June. She
was Matched out and there were few yellow
bees in the hive on the 3Oth in just 81 days
from the time her first eggs were deposited.
On July It'll few yellow bees were to be
seen playing around the hive and on the 18th
day of July, just fourteen days from the
time the yellow bees were Matched out, few
were seen at work with the black bees. Now
any one eau see that if the yellow bees hatch
ed out in 81 days, the last black bees were all
out by the 10Th of June, and If the yellow
bees went to work on the 18th of July, the
last of the black bees must have gone to work
on the 18th of July, making II days from the
time they were Matched, unless one will 60 to
work sooner than the other. This stand con
tanned nothing but black bees when the black
queen was destroyed, and on the Sth of July,
just 80 days from the time the black queen
was destroyed, there was not II black bee to
be seen about the hive. l opened it, Not one
was to be seen inside. Now | know that the
bees will live longer at any other season of
the year, and thought this would be good
chance to test the height of the working sea-
son. The hive was examined every day dur
ing the whole time, so that no mistake might
be made

ONT PHOENIX BRATTLEBORO, FRIDAY, JANUARY 23, $780,



Mr.. f. p. Roe, the horticulturist, in his
Scribncr series on small fruits, writes as fol-
lows of II mooted question in tho culture of
strawberries;
| have now reached a point at which diff
fer from most horticultural writer's. As q
rule it is advised that there be no spring cul-
tivation of bearing plants. 1t has been said,
that merely pushing the winter mulch aside
sufficiently to let the new growth come
through is all that is needful admit that
the results arc often satisfactory under this
method, especially il there has been deep
thorough culture in the fall, and il the mulch
between and around the plants is very abun-
dant At the same time have so often seen
unsatisfactory results that l take decided
stand in favor of spring cultivation, if done
properly and sufficiently early. think my
reasons will commend themselves to practi-
cal men. Even where the soil has been left
mellow by fall cultivation, the beating rains
and the weight of melting SHOWS pack the
earth. All loamy land settles and tends to
grow hard after the frost leaves it. While
the mulch checks this tendency, it cannot
wholly prevent it. As a matter of fact, the
spaces between the rows are seldom thor
oughly loosened late in the fall The mulch
too often is scattered over comparatively
hard surface, which by the following June
has become so solid as to suffer disastrously
from drought in the blossoming and bearing
season. have seen well mulched fields with
their plants faltering and whiting, unable to
mature the crop because the ground had be-
come so hard that an ordinary shower could
make but little impression. Moreover, even
if kept moist by the mulch land long shield
ed from sun and air tends to become sour,
heavy, and devoid of that life which gives vi
tality and vigor to the plant. The winter
mulch need not be laboriously raked from
the garden bed or field and then carted back
again Begin on one side of plot and rake
toward the other until three or four rows and
spaces between them are bare then fork the
spaces or run the cultivator-often the sub
soil plow-deeply through them, and then
Immediately, before the moist, newly made
surface dries, rake the winter mulch back in
to its place as n summer mulch. Then take
another strip and treat it in like manner un-
til the generous impulse of spring air and
sunshine has been given to the soil of the en-
tire plantation.

Vegetable Food for Poultry.

Any of the roots-as potatoes, rutabagas,
turnips, carrots, etc, when boiled and mixed
with corn and rye meal-mako an excellent
and economical daily food for poultry. In
this form fowls are fond of the diet, and it
works very kindly with them. Most expert
enced breeders think it necessary to dole out
dry grain only to their chickens, generally
whole corn, from years end TO years end.
And where large numbers of fowls are kept it
is often considered too troublesome to supply
cooked vegetables for the fowl stock, the dry
feed system being the handiest, of course.
But there is nothing that is so great help to
the poulterer, first and last, either inthe cost
or through the benefits to be derived to the
stock, as a regular food every day of cooked
vegetables. We have tried this practically
for years, and we have found it highly adyan-
tageous as compared with any other method
of feeding There are other kinds of vegeta-
bles, also, which are quite as valuable as are
the roots mentioned for use among poultry. in
their season. The leaves of turnips or car
riots, raw cabbages at any time of the year,
green corn in the ear etc, may be given to
poultry freely, and these will be relished.
But if at least one-half of all the food given
them be of some sort of We getable and green,
fowls will constantly be found in better
thrift and in finer condition than when fed
in any other way.-P0ultry Yard.

In The PHRNIx of Jan. 9th we noticed an
article on Farm Work for January" Now
we hardly think the author of that article liv-
ed in Marlboro, or even in Vermont. He
says the time to take an inventory of ones
affairs is at this time. We agree with him
that every one should find out each year how
he stands, but believe the best time for far
mers in this part of Vermont to be in April,
Immediately after sugaring work is over.
Now we will give our reasons Just at this
season nearly all of our farmers are engaged
in teaming wood and lumber. Most of them
have choppers, and il would be almost i'm
possible for them to ascertain Just how they
stood in amount of wood cut and the value
of the same, as it would in great many in
stances be thrown together, or the hard and
soft wood would be so mixed that it would
cost time and unnecessary labor to sort the
same. Again, the farmers of Vermont have
a kind of work TO do that the farmers of but
few of the other States have, viz, sugaring
Now, Immediately after the maple sugar crop
has been disposed of they can easier calculate
the value of the sugar on hand than they can
in January, for then the price is established
and they can allow just the market price and
not be obliged to guess at it. They have
plenty of time before the spring work begins
to look up their affairs and settle their bills
and commence work for another year.
The writer says Have no flowing water
in the yards to freeze" A good farmer takes
precaution in the fall to have his water pipes
that convey the water to the house or barn
carefully covered and protected from the
cold. We think if the author of that article
had fifteen or twenty head of cattle to water
every day he would not be advising farmers
to pump it. 1t may look very well in print,
but practice is another thing. K.

As the foreign markets for American but
ter are rapidly widening, of course displacing
to a greater or less extent the butter product
of competing dairymen in other countries, it
becomes matter of interest and importance
to know something of butter making in those
foreign countries which are supplying butter
to the same customers We are seeking to
serve. The butter made in Holstein holds
high position in the market aud is mostly
shipped from Hamburg and KEEL The milk
is set in wood tubs or keelers laid on the floors
of the diaries, and where large numbers OF
cows are kept the floor space required is very
considerable. 1t il kept for thirty six hours
before skimming. The cream ia kept till it
IL quite sour before churning, but no special
rule ID adopted for regulating this process.
They use the thermometer to regulate the
temperature for chuTning, but that is the on
ly time they use it. When the butter comes
they stop churning, and wash in cold water
by hand and wash it out finally and incorpor-
ate the salt on the butter-worker, They use
about four per cent. Of salt. They use color
ing, and put 1t in the cream before churning
They use beech casks with white hoops
They turn all their skim-milk to cheese and
give the whey and buttermilk TO pigs, of
which large numbers are kept mostly of the
Berkshire and Yorkshire breeds.
The farms here are mostly in state of TIL
lage, and as there is but little permanent
grass the cattle are fed on clover and other
soiling crops during the summer, and in the
winter they are housed from November to
May, and are fed on hay and straw and oil
cake and grain-no roots. The small farm
ers either sell their milk to the larger dairy
men, which is much the custom, or they
make butter themselves, in which case they
do nothing TO it but press out what butter
milk they can by hand, and do not wash or
salt it, but sell It in Jumps to buyers from
Hamburg, who go round the villages on GER
tain days, and who finish the working and
salt and tub Il themselves.

Why A WARN STABLE Is CHEAPEST. A
cold stable, sometimes no stable, and expos
ure to the cold in getting water are common
things, and they are very costly. Let no man
imagine that he saves anything by not pro
viding warm shelter and guarding his cows
against cold. If he does not keep them warm
in any other way, they will use the food he
gives them in warming themselves. They
will take the necessary tax out of his milk
pail as they go along, or make a future levy
on it to replace the lost tissue which they
have had to use for this purpose. 1t is much
better economy for the dairyman to invest in
hemlock boards or double walls, or even base
burners or steam heaters, than to allow his
cows to warm themselves by the consumP-
ton of food for this purpose. Artificial heat
is cheaper than the natural heat thus gen.
Grated. The gross material of fuel is cheap
er than the refined material of food, but the
COW will DO kept warm with the one or the
other so long as she lives. The dairyman
can decide which.-AmeTicdR Ddiryman

just now the horses need little extra care.
am not a believer in having farm or team
horses clipped, though l think it is a decided
advantage to clip horse which is kept only
for pleasure driving. One that is to be kept
moving, and moving rapidly, when out or
that is not allowed to stand without being
well blanketed when out of the stable, may
be clipped, and when he comes in he will not
have q coat of hair wet and matted with per-
spiration to stand in. He can be rubbed
down quickly and he is then dry and can be
blanketed and kept warm in the stable.
But the farmers horse, kept for work, and
not for fast driving, will usually do better if
he is not clipped. He should be rubbed dry
when he has been out in the rain or snow, or
when he has worked hard enough to get
moist with perspiration. Particularly should
the legs have especial care. The ankles
should be cleaned every time horse is taken
out in mud or snow II this was attended to
there would not be much complaint of
scratches In fact, am rather inclined to
think more farmers horses are famed by hav-
ing the feet and ankles neglected, and being
allowed to stand with their hoofs balled up
with snow and ice, or by standing upon the
manure heaps, than by hard driving or even
by hard pulling.
One thing more: Just get your iron bits
covered with leather or rubber, or use the
rubber bit, during the winter Do you un-
derstand how unpleasant it must be for the
horse to put frost-covered bit in his mouth
If you don't just touch your tongue to it
some cold morning and you will wonder why
the horse does not kick you or bite you when
you offer to put it in his mouth.
Until you do this. don't fail to dip them in
water to take the frost out before you put
them in the horses mouth.
