What Others Saw,

A new insecticide recommended by a
correspondent of Orchard and Garden
is simply strong stream of water di-
rected upon the foliage, applied every
evening. This is the neatest and most
efficacious remedy he has ever found for
slugs and rose bushes. 1t was also found
admirable for plant lice on currant
bushes and web worms on shade trees.
Feeding silage from the top, rather
than cutting it down from the sides, is
considered preferable by Professor Cook
and many other good authorities.

and an accurate account was kept of the
variety, quantity and cost of the food
supplied, and the daily and yearly gain
in weight until the animals were slaugh-
tered. The following are some of the
conclusions resulting from the expert
ments:
1. The experiment seems to indicate
that there is but little difference in the
cost per pound of raising steers Of the
different breeds under the same condi-
tions. The superiority of the beef breeds
rather lies in their early maturing quail
ties, which enable the feeder to turn
them off, well ripened. at two instead of
three years.
2. That calves brought up on the pail
when properly fed will make as much
growth and be equally as valuable for
feeding as if they wee allowed to suckle
their dams
3. That prejudice resulting from lack
of information may be, too often is, the
basis of our estimates of the comparative
value of breeds.
4. That early maturing breeds may be
kept until overripe, thus lessening the
value of the carcass for the consumer.
5. The lesson is very emphatically
taught that average native steers weigh
ing from 100 to 1900 pounds or less at
three years, cannot be raised and fed
with profit. Well bred steers weighing
from 500 to 800 pounds more at the same
age may be- The value of good blood
for beef production cannot, then, be
overestimated. 1t only can, with good
care and skillful feeding, in these times
and with the present markets, bridge the
margin between loss and profit for the
grower and feeder
6. That the quality of beef produced
by combined grain ration in which
wheat bran, oats and some oil meal form
the principal part is preferable to that
produced by q corn ration exclusively.
Z. The lesson is plainly taught that
early maturing breeds may be sold with
most profit, perhaps at oneyear if pushed
from the start. The cost per pound of
production is greatly increased with each
succeeding year. Certainly under most
favorable conditions they should reach
the limit of profit at from twenty-four
to thirty months at latest. This may be
modified in ordinary feeding by the fact
that the yearling steer will need more
expensive food than older ones. The
latter will consume more rough fodder
proftably than the former.

The Butter Color Question.

American Dairyman says: Dairymen
are in the habit of usingtoo much butter
color While the fact is that pure white
butter will not sell, at the same time too
deep q red is sure to injure the price. A
light straw is the proper color, and if the
COWS can do this without let or him
trance oil the better, but be sure and see
that they do, or else use the commercial
article that the law does not prohibit.
Hoard's Dairyman, commenting on the
above, says: Glad to see that the head of
the old American Dairyman is level on
4he morals of coloring butter 1t is a
sound view to take that the higher
grades of butter are colored artificially
less and less, for the reason that the Cos
pei of good feeding and breeding is being
more and more practiced, and this ne
cessitates less artificial coloring. We
are for the good butter breeds and for
she big feeds for the cash there is in
Ghem-not so much for the color that
comes with them. But if it comes as an
inherent adjunct all the better, but chief
ely so because it saves paying out cash for
coloring matter.

italian bees, introduced successfully
into this country about the year 1860,
have met with such favor that most
apiarians of note as well as many small
beekeepers throughout the country have
adopted them in preference to our native
or dark colored bees. Notwithstanding
this wide dissemination, there are, how
ever, many beekeepers who are not ia
miliar with their habits and qualities. 1t
is for the benefit of this class of readers,
and in answer also to several queries,
that the accompanying cut is given of an
Italian queen bee, magnified to show its
peculiarities.
Experience appears to have proven
that the Italian bees are larger, more
beautiful, more prolific, swarm earlier
and oftener, work earlier and later,
gather more honey, work on blossoms
that natives do not, are less inclined to
rob, defend themselves better and are
less disposed to sting than any other sort.
As a rule, other things being equal,
the brightest colored queens and drones
are to be preferred. Still color is not an
absolute test of purity, for some Italian
queens are quite dark colored and fail to
show very distinct bands.
In reply to the question, GLOW to pro-
cure Italians?" the answer is, there are
many trustworthy apiarians engaged in
rearing Italians, from whom good stock
may be secured. Full swarms may be
purchased Or a single queen may be in
troduced to a colony of native bees. In
twenty-one days after her introduction,
if fertile, her progeny will begin to APP
pear, and, if the change be made in the
spring, the native bees will usually all
disappear during the summer.

relieving Contracted Feet in Horses

EelleVIn@ contracted rect IN horses.
The belief very generally prevails that
there is nothing better for relieving con-
fracted feet in horses than water The
great trouble is to apply it properly with
the ordinary bandages. Arecent invention
has been introduced to take the place of
the old time swab. This continuance is in
the shape of a metallic foot lined with
sponge and having leather pads covered
with sponge to fit inside the shoe, cover
the sole and frog, which cannot be
touched by the ordinary swab, and also
go up back of the heel. 1t is claimed
that this boot is not only much more
convenient to adjust than the swab, but
that it will hold the moisture much
longer. These boots are made of differ
ent sizes, so as to fit the feet of both
large and small horses.
