Corn Meal for Butter.

Mr.. Farlee, the noted Jersey breeder,
has great faith in the use of corn meal as
an important part of a butter ration. On
this point Hoard's Dairyman fully agrees
with Mr.. Farlee as to the value of corn
meal with this provision, that it be fed to
COW Of distinctive butter temperament
and heredity. Dairy farmers who have
had experience with general purpose"
cows, particularly high grade short
horns, have noticed that if q heavy corn
meal ration was fed for any length of
time, they would be quite apt to shrink
in milk and commence laying fat on the
carcass. This no doubt is due to the
strong tendency to flesh making which
they had inherited. 1t requires COW of
strong, decided dairy heredity to take
and convert a heavy corn meal ration
steadily into butter and not divert the
food to her own gain. The fact shows
how necessary it is, if we are to engage in
dairying, that we start right in breeding.

Of Interest to Bee-Keepers.
TWO POPULAR FORMS OF sWARMING APP
PARATUS DESCRIBED, WITH DIRECTIONS
FOR THEIR APPLICATION.

That our readers may be quite ready
for the swarning season we give in adj
vance some items on swarming and its
attendant clustering, along with sugges-
tons about swarming apparatus, from
"Gleanings in Bee Culture" Mentioned
with other swarm catchers is the one
used by A. E. Nahum, an experienced
apiarian. 1t has no patent on it and is
illustrated in the accompanying cut.
1t is simply wire cloth cage fastened
to a pole with two legs, SO attached to
the pole that they can be set out or in,
something like tripod. The lower end
of the pole may be sharpened, to stick in
the ground, in order to steady the catcher
and to prevent it from being tipped for
ward by the weight of the bees. The
head or cage is 10x10 inches square by
II thick, and is covered on each side
with wire cloth. It is made in two parts
and hinged together, SO as to open and
close. When closed it is held together
by small hook. One of the parts of the
head is fastened to the pole, forming a
catcher, as may be imagined by referring
to the cut.
The head is made Of 5x8 inch stuff,
hence is very light. Mr.. Nahum usually
furnishes eight or ten of these catches to
each of his apiaries. If two or more
swarms issue at one time he proceeds to
catch the bees and queens, using
catcher for each swarm, and, as is usual
ly the case when more than one swarm
issues at one time, they will mingle and
cluster together. In such case he sets
the catchers near together and awaits
the results. If more bees settle on one
catcher than on the others, he shakes
them off from this one, and on rising
they will almost always divide up equal
ly, each swarm clustering around its
queen.
The corn pepper catcher is thus de-
scribed by one who used it:

Grating Different Species.

Barry, who is standard authority on
the subject, says: One species is fire.
quently grated with success on another
by which certain important notifications
are wrought upon both the size and fruit
fulness of trees and the quality of the
fruits. Thus we can graft in many cases
with beneficial results the peach and
apricot on the plum, the pear on the
ounce, strong growing species and va
rieties on weaker ones, and vice versa.
There must, however, be a close alli-
ance between the stock and the graft.
We cannot graft an apple on a peach,
nor a cherry on pear, but the individu-
ais Of naturally allied group may, with
more or less success, be worked upon one
another. Scions are usually cut in the
fall or winter and should be kept dor
mant until used, but not in a place so
dry as to shrivel the bark. They are
sometimes cut from the trees at the time
they are needed, but in such cases it is
best they should not be as forward as the
stalks. In grating, the inner barks of
the scions and stalks must come into
close. contact, and the operation should
be performed in early spring, before
there is rapid movement of the sap.

Ribgrass and Clover.

Professor w. j. Beal sends warning
to farmers, in form of q bulletin from
the Michigan State College station, about
ribgrass Or narrow leaved plaintain,
which is becoming common in clover
seed. While it is not the worst of weeds,
the seeds are difficult to separate from
those Of the clover, and when present in
jure the sale of the clover seed. He
says: Plantago lanceolata L., ribgrass.
ribwort, English plaintain, narrow leaved
plaintain, buckthorn plaintain has pc
rennial root, rosette Of narrow leaves
six to ten inches long, acute at each end,
an angled flower stalk one to two feet
high, bearing cylindrical spike of
flowers. The shining seeds are brown,
oblong, convex on one side, concave on
the other The leaves usually spread
close to the ground like those of the dam
delion and thus exclude other plants.
The stalks are slender, without leaves,
and afford little fodder. Careful farm
ers who read this notice will do we'll by
calling the attention of their neighbors
to the subject and help keep ribgrass out
of their fields.

IN UNPATENTED swARMING APPARATUS.

AN UNPATENTED SWARMING APPARATUS.
''The lid of the pepper was thrown
back, and the pepper itself was crowded
up gently against the lower end of the
cluster. The bees very soon rolled over
each other until the pepper was level full
of them. The wire cloth top was thrown
over and snapped shut. We did not
know whether we had secured the queen
or not 1t did not matter much, for half
or two-thirds of the cluster was confined
in the pepper, and the queen, if outside,
together with the remaining bees, would
cluster around their captive comrades.
We thrust the handle down into the soft
dirt near where the bees were flying
quite thick, and the pepper was thus sup
ported a couple of feet from the ground
where the bees could get at them. We
then left them for an hour or SO. When
we returned all the outside bees were
clustered around the pepper They were
now in such shape that we could carry
them were we pleased and hive them
where we pleased, which we did with
entire success"
In concluding the article CLEANED
from, the editor presents two ideas;
First, if the queens are not clipped, the
queen herself will usually be found on
the outside of the cluster or near the bot
tom end. If, therefore, the corn pepper
cage or other receptacle be pushed gently
against the lower end Of the swarm, you
are likely to secure not only the larger
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1890-04-30

portion of the bees, but the queen also,
and in this event your swarming is
practically done. The other idea is this
After these wire cloth cages, such as the
corn pepper and Manum's arrangement
have been used few times for catching
swarms, they will acquire the scent of
the laying queen and of former swarms.
The catcher will, in consequence, be
more readily accepted for clustering by
succeeding swarms. In time these cages
will have little bits of wax adhering to
them, and these, also, form no small
part of the attraction.

Feed Trough for Swine.

We give an Illustration of q conven-
lent trough for feeding hogs and sheep.
1t is especially well designed for feeding
hogs, and may be placed in the pen, the
swinging door above the trough forming
one side If desirable to use Il cut of
doors, it may form part of fence. The
construction is simple. Two upright
board standards, about four feet high,
are nailed to the ends of trough to sup
port a swing door OF partition, which is
adjusted SO that the lower edge plays
back and forth just over the top of the
trough.

A Messy Lawn.

Orchard grass grows best in the shade,
but it is not good lawn grass, for the
reason that it grows in punches and does
not cover the ground well when sown
alone. Blue grass is the best single lawn
grass and will endure a good deal of
shade, but where there is so much shade
as to cause moss to grow the best remedy
will be to let in the sun by reducing the
shade.
