Bee Keeping.

In bulletin on bee keeping, issued
from the station of the Rhode Island
Agricultural school at Kingston, Mr..
Cushman says: "Bees are poor property
in crude and impracticable hives. but in
those well adapted to their purpose give
a good return for the time and money
invested. Bee keepers who have taken
the time and trouble to study the bust
ness have succeeded with practical hives,
easily opened, in which the combs are
straight and even, allowing of quick ex-
animation with little disturbance of the
bees.
"They unite weak colonies in the fall,
feed them if in want of winter stores,
and in winter give protection from wind
and prevent loss of heat by an outer
case, with packing, or by comfortable
quarters in the cellar. Extra stores are
supplied in spring, and, if needed, more
prolific queen, and by various means ex-
tensiye breeding is induced, to get a
large army of gatherers and comb build
ers before the honey harvest.
eff no more swarms are wanted breed
ing is discouraged during the honey
flow, and swarming is prevented by one
Of several methods; and the large army
Of workers use up their short lives in
storing honey instead of raising bees.
The crop is removed, young queen
given in place of one whose best powers
are used, the remaining bees are allowed
honey enough for winter, and raise
enough young to keep up their strength
until spring. This is followed year after
year, whether the season be good or
poor, SO when the harvest comes good
crop is insured.
Improvement in yield in some sections
is due to the planting of Eastwood trees
in private grounds and along roadsides
forshade. Nothing in this country equals
Eastwood bloom for honey production.
Alsike clover, now more generally
planted on heavy soil in connection
with or in place of red clover, is also
gradually increasing our bee pasturage,
as well as the farmers crop Of cattle fod-
der. Bees may obtain the nectar from
alsike bloom, while they are unable to
reach that in the blossoms of the first
crop of red clover. Buckwheat, usually
a profitable crop aside from honey, may
be planted to still increase the supply of
bee food, though it does not always yield
honey"
Mr.. Cushman emphasizes the impor-
lance of starting with good hive and
sticking to it, so as to have one kind only
in an apiary, thus making possible dou-
bling, dividing, changing combs of brood
or honey, tiering up, etc.

1t is claimed that red polled steers
will fatten more rapidly for beef than
those of any other breed.
When a cow closes her cud" it is sign
that her digestion is out of order and she
ought to be watched and treated for
whatever ailment of indigestion she may
have. The loss of the cud is only a
symptom of some other trouble and is
not a disease in itself.
"Neyer tax property with legs" says
an economic writer to legislators.
An exchange says that chubby SOW
makes poor breeder.
Be doubly careful that your stock has
not to drink water from stagnant, muddy
pools and ponds this month. Cows thus
forced to drink such a fluid will fall off
in their milk, and beeves will fall off in
flesh. Think for a moment how YOU
would like to drink such water yourself.
If your place is not sufficiently well
watered to give an abundance pure and
fresh to all your stock, then keep less
stock.
Western range cattle are shipped to
the Chicago market from about mid
summer up to Nov. /, when the trade
closes. A firm of Chicago cattle com
mission merchants advises farmers and
stock raisers in Illinois and that vicinity
to keep their grass and corn fed cattle
until after Nov. 1, when they will get
better prices for them, after the range
cattle have ceased to come in.
Feed out your farm products on the
farm, to be sure, but be sure also that
you feed them to animals that will re-
turn a profit to you.

America the one in the west is called the
American Hackney Stud Book associa-

The trade in dressed beef is steadily
gaining on the live cattle market. If
the stories are true that are told about
the frightful suffering of cattle on ship
board and the consequent injury to the
beef, then it is well that the dressed
meat trade should gain ON the live cattle
market, as far as the transatlantic cattle
trade is concerned.
When you are fattening a hog feed all
that it will eat clean, but no more. You
can easily ascertain what this amount is
by watchfulness.
Animals do not like to come back to
mussy looking, left over food any more
than you yourself would like to have at
one meal the remains of the last one set
before you just as you left them.
One of the worst features of American
horse rearing and selling is the fraudu-
lent horse auctions that disgrace SO many
of our American cities. The vile tricks
that constituencies auctioneers resort to
to dispose of worthless horses ought to
cause them to be tarred and feathered
and drummed out of community. The
way to rid community of these skin
horse sales is for reputable breeders and
traders to refuse under any circum-
stances to patronize them. Besides that,
on general principles, when you have a
horse to sell be careful that you yourself
represent him exactly as he is, thus set
ting good example to other men who
are less enlightened than you are.

Round about mosquitoes winging

While her lover DER her bending,

Hear his ardent prayer;
"Oh, my (slapD love, adore you'll
Here (slapD bow down before you
(SlapD on Bonded knee.
Tell me, dear (slapD, that you love me;
Bend your head (slapl slapD above me-

And the maiden, softly signing,
To his ardor thus replying,

Hearts exchange fond words and truthful
Vows of constant trust.
