At meeting of Michigan beekeepers
Mr.. Larrabee read paper in which he
considered the best all purpose brood
frame. 1t was not difficult for each one,
he said, to decide upon one for himself,
but no convention of beekeepers could
agree. The essential feature of an all
purpose brood frame was that it should
have top bar thick enough so as not to
sag and from ll6to inches in width.
He liked the narrow bottom bar recently
introduced. for the reason that bees
build combs down to it better; and with
such frame, when withdrawn from
the hive there was less danger of rolling
over or killing bees. The queen also
was less likely to find hiding place be-
tween the bottom edge of the comb and
the bottom bar. Frame ends should be
at least three-eighths of an inch thick.
AS to whether they as "A whole should be
of the fixed or self spacing style was a
point upon which he had not yet decided.
He urged that all beekeepers, as soon as
practicable, adopt a standard size, and
that standard size, in the United States
at least, was the Langstroth. Mr.. Lar
rabee then read replies from number
of prominent supply dealers, all of
which, with one exception, indicated
| that thick top bars are about to displace
all frames with the narrow and thin top
bar

If the farmers can be convinced that
it will pay them, in dollars and cents, to
improve their roads, and if they are
shown how the roads can be improved,
the improvement will begin and not I'M
til then. Meanwhile all appeals to the
farmer founded on the fact that bad
roads are disgraceful are entirely thrown
away.
The circle described by a radius of a
mile or two from the market town bears
evidence of thrift and comfort and plen-
ty The next circle outside shows de-
terioration in the look of the houses and
the fences. and begins to wear poverty
stricken aspect. while the further prog
ress of your journey will introduce you
in due time aud with tolerable certainty
to region Of novels and abandoned
farms This is faithful picture, as
nobody who knows much about the
agricultural districts of the eastern
states will dispute.
AS Mr.. Potter points out the value of
nearness to the market cannot be abol-
ished by any device. What can be done
by the improvement of the roads is to
bring farms that are seven or eight miles
from the market practically as near it as
farms two miles off are now, taking the
average of weather through the year.
Moreover, another great economy that
would be effected by the improvement
Of the roads is that very much larger
load could be moved with the same
teams than can be moved now, and at g
very much better rate of speed.

Gapes in Chickens.

If there is IA person who still doubts
the existence Of the cape worm, let him
take young chicken, the younger the
better, that has the "gapes." hold the
throat toward the rays of the sun, open
the mouth and look down into the wind
pipe. He will see the red worms as
PLAIN as the day. The feather treat
ment, says the editor of The Fanciers
Journal, is simple and effective if care
fully used We usually strip primary
feather of the web excepting small
arrowshaped tuft on the end. A few
twists of the feather suffices to dislodge
the worms and bring them to the sur
face. A microscope will convince the
most skeptical that these "red chords,
which one authority pronounced them
to be, are living organisms.

CULTIVATION OF ONIONS.
How Onions for Market May BE Started
In Hotbeds with Profit.

How Onions for Market May BE Started
In Hotbeds with Profit.
At the Ohio experiment station it has
been demonstrated that onion seed may
be sown in the greenhouse or hotbed
in February or March and successfully
transplanted to the open ground in April
or May. Compared with onions grown
by the ordinary method the transplanted
ones were from 80 to 100 per cent. ahead
in size and total marketable product. A
marked difference has been observed in
varieties, however, as to their adapta-
bility to this method of treatment.
1t is reported that the early varieties
appear to be the class of onions best
adapted to this method. Nearly all are
white and much flattened. Some attain
five inches in diameter and less than
two inches in thickness If sown in
February and transplanted into the open
ground as early as it can be worked in
the spring, the young onions may be
pulled for punching in May and June
or nearly as early as those grown from
sets. By July they are ripe enough to
be pulled and sold in the dry state. Both
in the green and dry state they are much
superior to onions grown from sets and
sell for higher price. Also not only do
they bring fancy price, but the ground
is cleared in time for celery or other fall
crops.
Early varieties that gave the most sat
isfactory results at the station were the
Barletta, Marzajola, Pearl and Bermuda.
The first named is the earliest, while the
Marzajola is two weeks later but much
larger. The Barletta is sold under many
names, such as Extra Early Barletta,
Adriatic Barletta, New Early Adriatic,
Bloomsdale Pearl, New Queen, Early
Radish, etc. Some of the second early
sorts, such as Danvers, Wethersfield,
Michigan and White Globe do not re-
spond so readily to this method of treat
ment as the extreme early and late sorts.
They have in every instance given in
creased yields by transplanting, how.
ever, but the gain is less than with some
Of the early and late sorts.
OF the second early and late varieties
the White Victoria and Prize Taker are
the best thus far tested. Both grow to 6
large size, frequently weighing more
than pound each, and have at the sta
ton yielded at the rate of 1900 bushels
per acre in several cases.
