! would have two wire covered cylin.
ders, one within the other. The inside
one should be of q larger mesh SO that
nothing but earth and small potatoes
could pass through, and the outside one
of such mesh as to allow only thepassage
Of the dirt. By the addition of another
cylinder, another sorting of potatoes
could be made. The inside cylinder
should extend about four inches farther
than the outside one, SO as to make a
more convenient fitting for the boxes
through which the potatoes would slide.
/ think such an arrangement would be
much better than other sorters have
seen illustrated. 1t would be better than
the Hoover sorter, because the dirt would
be separated from the small potatoes,
and two sortings could be made, if needed.
One advantage it would have over the
Collins sorter, would be that there would
be more certainty of separating the soil
from the small tubers. should suppose
that in the Collins sorter, if the potatoes
were thrown in too fast, the small ones
would fall out beyond the lower screen
and tumble to the ground.

The wonderful properties of nitrate OF
soda are being strikingly exhibited at
tho Ohio agricultural experimenting sta.
ton, where wheat is being grown con,
tinuously under different methods OF
fertilizing. Although the nitrate was
not applied until the middle of April, it
stimulated such a big growth that the
plots which received nitrate in large
quantities carry almost thrice as great a
weight Of vegetation as do the plots
that had no nitrate.

Importance of Young, Vigorous. Queen

Importance of Young, Vigorous Queens
1t is very important that every colony
in the apiary should have young and
vigorous queen at its head, for on the
queen depends the best results in bee
keeping. am not an advocate of killing
queens at two years, or even three years
of age, if they are doing good work. The
bees will generally attend to the super
seding business; but they cannot always
be depended upon Therefore, record
of each queen should be kept on each
hive, so that one can know tho exact age
of each queen, when examining the hive.
at any time
If bees tolerate slow laying queen
and are loath to supersede her, one has
only to refer to his record for the WHY
and wherefore. If such colony i.
found, there should be no delay on ths
part of the apiarist in supplying q new
queen. The simplest and most natura
manner Of changing the queen is to sir
in cell from one of the best colonies il
the apiary twenty-five hours after tht
old queen has been taken away. Ii non,
but the best drones are allowed to Il,
during the mating season, all the yount
queens will meet with selected stock
This can be accomplished by the use of
trap having perforated metal largt
enough to pass queen, yet small enough
to exclude the drones.
1t is important to introduce queen
from distance at least once year. b.
breeding in new blood occasionally, thu
standard Of the bees will be gradual,
raised, if the breeder of the queens ha
good stock, and is an experienced MAJ

burned down instead of the old ones,
the loss would have been more than
doubled. Another bright side to the
