Windbreaks for Bees.

/ don't think we sufficiently value
vindbreaks for bees, says Mrs. l.. C
Axteli, in Bee Gleanings. If wintered
out of doors they are invaluable. We
could see great difference in the loss
of bees in wintering just as soon as we
had erected high board fence seven
and one-half feet high on the east west
and north sides 1t does not make the
apiary much warmer In the summer as
we feared 1t would. because in hot
weather the wind nearly always blows
from the south or southwest or south
east, and then 1t blows into the apiary.
II it blows from the north or northwest
or northeast, generally the weather is
cool, and 1t makes no difference IL 1t
does not blow into the apiary. If the
bees are wintered in the cellar, and are
set out upon their summer stands with
o windbreak, even If packed with chat
the wind pierces the cracks in the
hives, and chills brood in small col.
onies, while the bright sunshine at the
entrance invites the bees to fly, and the
cold wind so chills them that they
never return.

Costiyeness In Sheen.

! The number of sheep that die from
costiveness is very large. The sheep is
naturally costive, as any observer must
know from the character of the drop
pings. 1t is because of the tendency of
timothy hay to produce costiveness that
we so often advise against its use for
feeding sheep. 1t contains great deal
OF tannin. Straw has the same tendency,
and yet good straw is such valuable
food that we advise its use, but with
such foods as oil meal. Timothy hay
we would not feed under any conditions
Those who have adopted ensilage will
have at hand very ready means to
keep the bowels of the sheep in order.
Those too, who have taken our advice
and provided roots, will DO similarly

costive 1t must not be expected that
they will go through the lambing
season properly At the same time we
must be careful not to feed too much
watery food in winter to the breeding
ewes. Western Rural

NORTHWESTERN FARMS.
Wonderful Sights In Grain-Gathoring and
Flowing.


Flowing.
! have had the curiosity to see one of
the big Dakota farms, and wentout with
John W. Dwight, of the famous Dwight
farm. The fields are each GAO acres in
size, a mile square. They are surround
cd on every side by railways, and there
are no fences. The roads are supposed
to be sixty feet wide, but the fields are
plowed right out to the double wagon
way of about twenty feet, and thus no
land is left to waste.
/ saw forty-one reapers cutting grain
in two Of these big fields. The reapers
require four or five horses or mules to
pull them, and the bundles or sheaves
are tied with cord automatically and
tossed to one side for shocking. Farm
ing on such scale is entirely unlike
the old way down east. The grain Is
stacked in the folds, threshed on the
ground and hauled in great wagons hold
ing three tons each to the elevators at
the nearest railroad station. The straw
Is burned.
1t rained the day arrived at the
farm, and wheat cutting having just
been finished, threshing was suspended
and the hands were sent out to pillow.
They can pillow in weather when nothing
else can be done. They used wheel
plows, drawn by four or five horse
teams, and cutting into burrows each of
about thirteen inches in width. The
soil is deep black loan, its color alone
declaring its richness and fertility. 1t
is plowed to a depth of four or five
inches only.
saw twenty-one of these plows being
operated in 64O-acre field. Every time
the twenty-one plows crossed the field
they had plowed under strip mile
long and about forty-three to forty-four
feet wide. 1t was great sight. 1 was

Some Methods of Destroying These Pes

tiferous Birds.
The United States Department OF
Agriculture recommends the following
treatment: Dissolve arseniate of soda
in warm water, at the rate OF an ounce
to pint; pour this upon as much wheat
as 1t will cover in vessel which can be
closed so as to prevent evaporation, and
allow 1t to soak at least twenty-four
hours. Dry the wheat so prepared, and
1t is ready for use. Three kernels of
this will kill. Winter is the best time
for operations. Other birds are then
absent, and sparrows are hungry,
alighting in flocks in the streets after
passing teams and along railroad tracks,
whore grain is scattered from wagons
and cars. Here poisoned wheat may be
administered with wholesale destruc-
ton to them, and little danger of harm
to any thing else.
If 1t is found that the birds are too
wary to take the poisoned grain at first
they can be led up to it by feeding them
at the same hour of the day for few
days with sound grain as preliminary.
When they are used to it and off theiE
guard, throw down q little poisoned
wheat-not too much at once, but just
enough for them to eat before they
have found out that there is any thing
wrong-for you can not catch them all
at the one attempt BY this means q
large percentage is got rid of at one
time. Then begin with the sound grain
again, and after two or three days use
more poison. By this means of alter.
mating non-poisoned grain with the
other article, sparrows may be killed
all through the winter months just az
fast as they come in from other places,
and in time be almost annihilf ted,
