LIVESTOCK NOTES.

AN occasional clump of shade trees
for cattle to shelter under is appreciated
at this season of the year
SHORTAGE of pasture is much more
injurious than flies, which often get the
blame for stock doing poorly,
HAVE supply of pure cold water
within reach of the stock all Of the
time if possible. They get very thirsty
and will do better if they can drink
often.
GIVE horses liberal allowance of
grain and good hay while they are
working hard at harvesting. Feed reg
ularly and water them as often as pos
sible.
WATCH closely that work horses are
not overdone during the hot days Two
or three hours at time is quite long
enough to have horse pull heavy
binder ON very hot day.
Ii mares which have young colts
must be worked during harvest keep
the colt in cool box stall in the barn;
both colt and mare will be better off
and the possibility of Gripping with
the machines will be avoided
ALLOW your stock to Craze during
the early morning and late evening.
They are free from flies and it is cool
and pleasant at those times. If shut in
a small yard in early evening and kept
there until late in the morning they
will not do SO well - Orange Judd
Farmer.

have usually been in the habit of
uniting the weak colonies in the
spring. But we may sometimes unite
two or three of them and when the
honey harvest arrives they are little if
any better than some weak ones that
were not united. / believe it is better
to unite weak one with strong one
or else just let them alone; at least it
seems so very often. Quite often l
have known colonies that were very
weak in the early spring to build up
fast, and almost equal any of the rest.
They, of course, had young prolific
queens. In such cases it is a loss to
unite them.
But we must do something with those
that have poor queens and do not get
strong enough to give any surplus.
They may not be any better another
year, and may never be of any value so
far as producing any honey, unless we
requiem them. 1t will hardly pay to
buy queen for them, for queens are
pretty high in the fore part of the sea-
son, and if we would buy one they
would hardly get sufficiently strong to
make much money. The cheapest way
is to rear a queen from our choicest
stock and give it to them. | sometimes
kill the queen and give them queen
cell, or unite them with swarm, but
always kill the queen before uniting.
They are very apt to fight when thus
united, but a pretty severe smoking
will generally subdue them. Sometimes
these colonies are very old and their
combs black and pretty well filled with
pollen. In such cases it may not be the
queens fault. The best thing to do
with these combs is to melt them into
beeswax, and give them new combs, or
sheets of foundation, and let them
draw it out. If you have such stands
as these don't fool time away with
them, but overhaul them in some way
and try to make them profitable, for in
all probability they will never be of
any account till you attend to them

HINTS FOR eEEKEEPERs.
KEEP mice out of your beehive.

KEEP mice out of your beehive.
IT is essential that the hives be shaded,
for if the hot sun strikes them the bees
will desert.
GREAT BRITAIN imported during the
month of April, 1898, about ST., 500
worth of honey.
BE careful in hiving new swarms to
get the queen into the hive. or the bees
will not remain.
HONEY is good crop to sell at retail.
The extra price obtained will much
more than pay for the labor, and if well
put up it is an easy matter to secure
permanent customers. Try it this year
before selling your crop outright to a
dealer.
THE beginner is specially warned
against spending his money for any nov.
elites in bees unless he wishes to test
them in comparison with what are rec
ognized as the best. and can afford to
spend money for such purposes Orange
