At the late annual convention of the
New York beekeepers among questions
of importance discussed was the one Of
honey plants. AS is usual when this
topic is introduced considerable differ
ence of opinion prevailed. The majority,
however, favored alsike clover for bee
keepers. One member, who has grown
it since 1882, claimed that it failed to
secrete honey only once during that time,
and it was q season when white clover
also failed. He not only prefers the al
sike to white clover for honey, but said
that it makes the best fodder for sheep
and cows. He sows it with red clover
and timothy, both for honey and hay, as
it is liable to lodge badly if sown alone.
Another member, who indorsed the fore
going and who now sows alsike instead
of red clover, found the honey from it
as good in quality as the white clover
honey. He did not think it yielded as
large crop Of hay, but it is Of better
quality. In regard to that much adver-
tised Chapman honey plant, the opinion
appeared to be that it is hard plant to
grow and not so profitable as the clovers.
Bees, it was told, work well on alfalfa
when the circumstances are all favor
able, but the various experiences related
did not favor alfalfa rs c honey plant.

It is significant fact hitherto unre-

to the Farmers Union convention, came
instructed to vote for the independent
movement. They represented "a Alli-
ances. In convention those delegates were
outspoken in their opposition to Nc
Kinley.
talked to large number OF these far
mers, and found that many who admitted
that in the past they had voted the Repub-
llcan ticket are opposed to Major Nc
Kinley.
They claim that they still believe in pro-
lection to reasonable extent, but regard
Major Mckinley as an extremist and as
sert that even il no third ticket is placed
in the field they will not vote for him and
they usually wound up the expression of
their views by using that inelegant and
hackneyed expression, ut will not be Bill
Mckinley but Mckinley Bill we will be
asked to vote for.
Ex-State Senator Silas N. Conrad, OF
Massillon, was in the city yesterday. He
explains the action OF the delegates from
his county by saying that the Alliances In
Stark are composed almost entirely of

ing been suspicious OF them and generally
refused to join.

A Kansas poultry grower gives expires
sion to the following in Farm Journal:
Hens like a secluded place for nests
and not too strong light.
Set nests facing wall, with just enough
room to pass between nest and wall.
In pays to SOW an acre or more of small
cereals for the hens. They need it for
pasture in winter and they can harvest
it when ripe.
Plant IL patch of corn near the hennery
on good soil Plow it as often as conve-
nient. The hens win pick up meat and
wallow in the fresh earth.
In prairie countries rows of fruit or
forest trees planted far enough apart TO
admitplowing with two horse cultivator,
affords good place for hens, and the
cultivation helps the trees.
Hens require variety of food, and by
mulching the trees much "grub" may be
provided for them, especially in warm
climates.
The hardy, wide rangers, those clean
of limb and having small combs, are the
kinds wanted by the farmer.
Ground oats, boiled and mixed well
with cornmeal, makes a good ration for
laying hens.

Statements About Poultry.

Mr.. James Rankin, who has made the
artificial incubation of poultry success,
told at farmers meeting in Boston,
not long ago, that he never sold broiler
in his life. He said: "The broiler age
is just the time when all the danger OF
mortality has passed. The last two OF
three pounds can be put on much cheaper
than the first. Whoever raises beef OF
pork knows that this is so. The price of
a good roaster is higher than the price
of good broiler. So we hold our
chickens until they are four and one-halt
months old, and our pullets until they
are a little over year old"
Mr.. Rankin estimated his loss of ducks
at from 8 to per cent. in raising, and
chickens from 8 to 10 per cent. He
thought that fifty cents is a moderate
allowance for growing pullet until she
begins TO lay.
