Swarrning or No swarming?

"Other things being equal, which

ony that never swarms or a colony that
swarms, counting the cost Of both
mother colony and swarm" This query
was recently asked, and the following
are some Of the answers elected from
beckocpers in different sections Of the
country as reported in The American
Bee Journal:
&. L. Thicker said: With the old way
Of management and the hives in general
use, the colony that docs not swarm pro-
duccs the most comb honey. There Is
no question about the old way. It Is
generally admitted if n colony is diyid-

honey and also the finest. That which
is true il working for comb honey is
also true in running for extracted.

Ii Regard to HarrONvs.

The Colorado Field and Farm says
on the subject Of harrows: 1t has been
found that the rolling cutters, especial
~ those termed cutaway harrOwS, move
the soil deepest and loosen it most, and
the getaway harrows draw the easiest
Of the class that penctrates deeply. The
spring tOothed haIrows draw moderately
fine to an average degree and till to an
average depth but leave the soil with
an uneven bottom and more compact
than the cutaway, while Oh newly
plowed prairie grass they tear Up the
sod. For the cultivation Of corn they
are very good implements, serving well
the functions required in tillage Of
crops The square toothcd and the
smoothing haIrowS are superficial in
their action on plowod ground, run easy,
but compress the soil more than any
other class and are therefore better
adapted TO loose soils and for putting
IA seeds than TO do the tillagc work Of
soil fitting for crops When depth of
cutting. ease of draft, CyyUncss of bot
tom or of tho top Of the uu.tiucd soil
and loosencss OF soil are considered, the
cutaway type Of harrows Is the best Of
the several classes Of tillage tools used
for the preparation Of the average soil
for crops. 1t is believed that the work
Of this class Of harrOws should always

Results Gained at Different stations.


For Green Manurins and For Feeding
Results Gained at Different stations.
Farmers bulletin No. & issued from
the department OF agriculture contains
"a vast fund of information gained from
reports Of experiments conducted at
many stations. Following is summary
OF the whole subject:
Green manuring improves the phys
ical properties Of the soil by making tho
soil more porous and adding TO its sup
ply Of humus 1t brings up the dormant
plant food from deep down in the soil
and deposits ii near the surface. Green
manuring with buclwheat Hungarian
grass and othor nOnleguminous plants
adds practically nothing to the soil
which was not there before, except a
mass of vegetable matter which decays
and goes to form humus Green manur-
ing with cloycrs, peas, beans, lupines,
etc. Cegum nous crops, actually en-
ricars the soil la nitrogen drawn from
the air. 1t il the cheapest means of
manuring the soil with nitrogen.
But animals as well as plants re-
quire nitrogen for food BY feeding the
crops of clover, COW peas, etc, only about
one-fourthof the fertilizing materials Of
the crop is lost il the manure is proper
ly cared for. The leguminous crop Is
best utilized when it is fed on the farm
and the manure saved and applied to
the soil The greatest profit Is thus Sc
cured, and nearly the same fertility is
maintained as in green manuring.
For renovating worn or barren soils,
and for maintaining the fertility where
the barnyard manure is not properly
cared for, green manuring with such le-
guninous crops as COW peas, clovers and
lupines is recommended. A dressing Of
potash and rhosphates will usually be
sufficient for the green manuring crop.
The practice of green manuring ON me-
dunn and better classes Of soils is ira
tional and wasteful
The system Of soiling or feeding green
crops in the barn in place Of pasturage
enables a larger number Of animals TO be
kept on a given area Of land and the
manure to be more completely saved.
For this purpose lcguminous crops are
extremely valuable. Hay from legumi-
nous crops is about twice as rich in pro-
tein as hay from grasses. Leguminous
crops yield larger crops Of hay to the
acre than grasses Hence the production
Of food materials on an acre, especially
protein is several times larger with le-
guminous crops.
if allowed to ripen, the seed Of the
COW pea and SOFA bean furnishes an ex-
trcmciy rich concentrated feed which
can be ground and fed in place Of expen-
siyc commercial feeds The straw re-
manning may be fed as coarse fodder,
for it is richer than ordinary hay Grow
moro leguminops crops. They furnish
the cheapest food for stock and the
cheapest manure for the soil. They do
this because they obtain from the air a
substance necessary for plants and ami
mails alike, which costs in the form Of
fertilizers and feeding stuffs from 10
to % cents pound.

POULTRY YARDS.
Flow to Fence The Chickens In and ReeF
out Everything Else.

After trying various kinds Of fencing
Cor yard II Virginia correspondent OF
American Cultivator writes that she
has settled on poultry netting rs COM
bining all the desirable qualities, with
few drawbacks. She describes her yard
as follows:
My yard, in which i had as many as
837 chickens Of various ages at ono
time, was 90 feet long by . feet wide
1t is best TO have foot wide plank at
the bottom all around, as small sized
chicks can get through two inch poultry
netting. Last winter had no divisions
in my yard, soto prevent little chickens
from being crowded cut and run over by
biz chicks l had 10 resort to various de-
viccs-small netting runs in front OF
coops, and some other things. Last win
tor had this hig yard subdivided into
10 yards by fences Of cheesccloth tackled
to u wido plalll, at the bottom and to a
two inch wide strip at the top, with
gate made Of the chCCsCclOth tackled on
a frame in each division, so that can
easily pass from one to the other
This dividing of broodS does away
with ell necessity Of wire covered runs
I'm front of ccops to keep tho big chick
ems from tlampling the others, and whom
chicks get large and the mother hen Is
taken from them viii prevent over
cruWding and consequent smotherln&.
Each small yard is & feet wide by -
feet long, which is a very good sized run
for from so TO 40 chicks.
Wherever there are chiC.,eI- tAcre are
hawks, and when they catch even ono
fowl day they diminish the profits
considerably, as the early chickens net
me over 90 cents each. So, TO prevent
their ravages, had poles about 0 feet
high from the surface of the ground
planted all along through the middle of
the yard leugthwise and strips nailed
from one polo to another at the top.
Over this ridge | threw twine which l
tied to the top Of the netting fence ON
each side, tho twinc being about six
inches apart, thus forming kind OF
netting of twine shaped like the roof
Of house. OF course this did not OBJ
struct the sunshine but it kept off all
hawks. / saw one make two attempts
ono evening, darting down to catch n
chicken, but it struck the Irvine each
time, and was not again troubled. For
a permanent yard one might use light
wire.
Ny yard is on the sunny side Of a
hill, which is all right in dry weather,
but when it is wet it is very slippery,
so / shall lay plank walk to my yard,
and also a walk in front Of each coop,
extending the whole length of the yard,
being made III short lengths to fit each
small yard. The gates, of course, must
be opposite each other so that one can
step from one walk to another. These
walks not only prevent one slipping, but
keep the feet dry while walking.
