The Average Age ofoueens.

l. How many seasons should a queen
be kept laying? 2. What is the average
age of queens if left alone? was a query
answered not long ago in the columns of
The American Bee Journal.
G. II. Differn replied as follows: /. A
queen begins to fail after the second
year, and the most successful honey pro-
dncer will see that his queens do not get
much older than that g If left entirely
alone, they would probably average
about years.
G. w. Demaree said: l. l now after
long experience leave that to the bees.
They will make fewer mistakes along
this line than am likely to make. 2. l
clip the wings of my queens, and in this
way keep pretty nearly up with them.
The average is about years. Many
queens are superseded at years old:
many more at 3, and nearly all at L.
Mrs. Jenny Atchley of Texas answered:
l. Taking everything into consideration
it might be best to keep queens only .
years, and, to answer the second part of
the question, will say that 2 years is
about all average life for queens in this
locality, but good queens often do good
service even the fourth year. g. 1t real
ly would be hard to average up, as so
much depends upon circumstances.

Shallow Cultivation For Corn.

1t is told III il bulletin from the Indi-
ana station that better success has been
obtained on the station grounds from
shallow cultivation of corn than by any
other method. Shallow cultivation on
the average produced higher Yields than
when the ground was stirred deeply,
and this is simply proving what has long
been advocated. Corn is a plant that
needs only the stirring of the surface
soil and not deep down, as the roots of
the plant do not extend very deep.
In planting corn, however, the bulle-
tin says that it is quite desirable to plow
deep. Early planting of the corn in the
fields always gives better results than
the late, averaging from two to three
bushels per acre more than late plant
ing. Commercial fertilizers, while good
in their way for corn, do not begin to
compare with stable manure, which al
ways gives more lasting and valuable
effect upon the soil. Moderate applica-
tons of stable manure made at the right
time will give more desirable results
than heavy applications of commercial
fertilizers. There is limit to theneeds
OF the plants, and moderate applications
will give often as good results as very
heavy top dressings.

deciding on the price he can afford to
pay for raw manure originally the gar
dener will have to take this feature in
consideration.
These heaps may be made during au-
tumn and early winter right on the arabic
land, and the material will generally be
ready to be spread upon the soil where
wanted when the time for planting it
with spring crops has arrived. 1t is alb
solutely necessary that these heaps be of
considerable depth, not less than four
feet, in order to prevent the rainwater
from teaching clear through and washing
away valuable food elements.
The compost heap while in process of
construction is the most appropriate
dumping place for vegetable. rubbish of
al sorts, the esa9rcasses Ct animals larger
ones cut in pieces house and kitchen
Stops and other waste materials. Refuse
matter of this kind often adds greatly
to the value of the compost.
For general garden crops this manure,
when in the right condition (well rottedD,
is applied broadcast and thoroughly
mixed all through the soil, generally by
blowing under in lap furrow style and
by thorough narrowing.

These Bricht-Eyed, Dazzling Beauties Mt
the Opera House Friday Night.


Mr. Geo. ii. Turner has achieved re-
markable success as a manager of Helen
Russell's Sports Company, the attrac-
ton at the Old Opera House Friday,
September %. This company is prob
ably his greatest triumph, though he is
identified with numerous other attrac.
tions and ranks with the best burlesoue
organizations. The entertainment is
original and refreshing "Monte
Cnristo," which opens the show, is a
merry, musical, nautic Al trlvesty, hand
somely staged, with rare scenic display
and rich sage settings and replete with
novel features in which dazzling beau
ties and rollcking comedians acuuit
themselves creditably. Bright artists,
introducing specialties, including in
teresting vocal. terpsichorean, acrobatic,
novel and other acts calculated to please
the habitues OF theatres. Mr.. Turner
promises one of his most successful
predictions in the beautiful burlesoue.
The pretty and exciting story of the
handsomely formed captive imper-
sonated by Miss Russell, lays the foun-
dation 70: burlesque OF more than
ordinary merit and interest, and affords
opportunity for the introduction of many
entertaining features.

Farmer. He says:
When doors are required to be fastened
at the top and at the bottom, have
seen nothing that excels it. When the
doors are closed, they cannot possibly
open of themselves by either wind or
storm, and when open there is nothing
to catch should they blow shut

What Others Saw.


A Vermont farmer tells in The Rural
New Yorker that he sprays his potatoes
by means of short handled whisk
broom.
The Rural New Yorker says: I'VE
can't cure hay here equal to the English
simply on account Of the climate. They
cure their hay so that it is of bright
green color, such as we seldom see in
American hay. Canada beats us in this
respect"
The Fanciers Journal says: 1--WE do
not recommend our readers to depend
on lining of tarred paper to prevent
lice from harboring in poultry house.
Put the paper outside, use whitewash
and kerosene inside and dry lime or pyr-
ethlin in nests, and lice will not trouble
the flock, and the house will be pro-
tected by the paper from the weather.
Potato growers who supply the bulk
of the stock for market have learned
that extremely early potatoes seldom
yield so well as those that are late or
medium. Not only is it found to be bet
ter to plant late varieties, but the plant
ing itself is delayed later in order to
have the crop ripen after summer heats
have passed. says The American Guilt
yator.
