suit will be dark pulle1s, and the next

If we want to breed to a uniform color,

Necessity of Observation.

There is one argument in favor of
beekeeping which ought not to be lost
sight Oft trains the mind to observe.
If he would make a success, the bee
keeper must train this faculty. If edu-
cation consists in storing the mind with
facts, and if observation leads one to
investigate, prove, and apply, it is as
good as a school so far as it goes. This
is probably the reason, says writer
in Gleanings, that successful bee
keeper is above the average in inteui-
gence. He has learned to observe, and
hence is continually gathering new
facts and adding to his store of knowl-
edge. If a person doesn't know the
average season for white clover and lin
den to bloom, he IS not likely to know
when to put on Supers or to be on the
lookout for swarms; and if he doesn't
know the source from whence comes
this honey, he is likely to put on supers
until frost comes. 1t sounds odd enough
to charge beekeepers with such lack
OF bee lore; but know of persons who
keep pees, and who are as ignorant of
essentials as that. It is not necessary
to add that such persons never study
books or papers on that subject, and
that they never succeed But, study
all we may, and read all we may. we
need to cultivate the faculty of observa-
ton. There are always some problems
in agriculture which cannot be solved
by a general rule. Each one
must work it out for himself amidst
his own environment.

Corn EnsiIage for Lambs.

COrn EnS1lASe IOf L0"Ds.
The agricultural experiment station
of Cornell university reports an inter-
esting experiment in feeding corn ensi-
lage TO lambs. The lambs were grade
Shropshires. about eight months old,
and were fed in two lots Of five each,
the experiment continuing from De-
cember s to April p. They received
grain ration composed of one part lin
seed meal, two parts cottonseed meal
and four parts bran by eight, each lot
receiving practically the same guam
tity, 673 pounds, or 1876 pounds per
lamb during the twenty weeks of the
experiment. In addition to this ration
one lot was given 906 pounds of hay
during the test; the other lot had Cos
pounds and 1,166 pounds Of corn en-
silage. The gain was practically the
same in both lots, averaging twenty
five pounds per lamb. the average
weight being SO 1-2 pounds at the be-
ginning and IS pounds at the end of
the test. The ensilage, therefore, took
the place of 800 pounds of hay, or
about four pounds of ensilage equaled
one pound of hay. If the hay was
worth $40 per ton the ensilage was
worth $3.50 per ton. The lot fed dry
drank more water than the one fed on
ensilage. but when allowance is made
for the water in the food ut is found
that the ensilage fed lot consumed
more water than the others.

Experfments With Oats.


During the past five years the expert

that on the fertile soil of Central East

may expect in a series of years an
average yield an acre OF Il little over
fifty bushels of grain and about one
and one-haf tons of straw: the oats
weighing rather less than more than
the standard weight of thirty-tWO
pounds per bushel; that it is not adj

if the crop follows corn, the use of the
disk harrow giving better results; that
the crop should be sOWn near the last

more than one or two inches deep; that
