spading the Poultry Yard.

The yard should be spaded as often
in the season as possible, in order to
turn under the filth, and also to have
the surface clean and free from weeds,
in order that less dampness may exist
in winter. When the ground is frozen
over In winter or baked in summer, the
aroppings will accumulate in the
yard; but if they are carefully spaded
and raked until the surface is smooth,
the cleaning can be done more easily.
On sandy soils the spading Of the
yards loosens the top soil and permits
the rains to carry down. much of the
filth that would otherwise remain. A
thorough cleaning up late in the sea-
son, before cold weather sets in, and
good drainage afforded. will greatly
aid in preventing disease in the flock

LIVE STOCK NOTES.

TRY to improve your stock every
year, and thus add to your profits and
skill.
DON'T let the young pigs get raven
ously hungry, but do not overfeed
them.
If calf is half fed when young it
will never be the most profitable ami
NAL to keep.
GIVE the horses the best feed you
can get. They work hard and should
be well treated.
USE pure bred sires always Pick
the best females for breeders, and
never breed to scrub stock.
EVERY man who practices mixed
farming has just as good reason for
keeping variety of live stock.
Do YOU ever give the horses drink
in the morning before feeding them
grain? If not try your own breakfast
that way once.
A YEARLING sheep that has been
carefully attended to will sell in the
market with as much profit as any
other animal that is kept on the farm.
Stock that is allowed to fall off in
condition is always kept at more or
less loss, for it costs as much or more
than it originally did to put them
back to the weight they have fallen
from.
Is YOUR horse well shod and does his
harness fit him? If not put on pair
of boots one size too large or small
and let down one suspender and find
out for yourself how he feels.-Farm

ALLEY TRAP.

freely, but not the larger drones. The
latter, trying to escape to the outer air,
crawl about in search of an exit, and
finally find it through the apex of the
wire cone shown in the center of the
trap. (The latest patterns contain
three cones.) This leads them into an
upper chamber or apartment entirely
inclosed with perforated strips, and
from which there is no exit for them,
except through the one by which they
entered, route they are very seldom
able to retrace. In this way in the
course of one or two warm afternoons
about all the drones in the hive may
be captured and destroyed at leisure.
Or, If one does not care to kill them,
an opening from the end of this cham
Der to the outer air, closed by sliding
tin, may be left open and the drones
allowed to pass out this way. AS they
cannot return by this route, they are
effectually debarred from reentering
the hive. If this method is adopted,
however, care should be taken that
they do not simply go into another
hive. If they are killed while Gagged
So much for this GALLEY trap" as it is
called, as a drone excluder. AS a
queen catcher it is also valuable. The
queen is also larger than the workers,
hence unable to pass through the per-
forated zinc. To prevent the issuing
and departure of a swarm during the
absence of the apiarist, place the trap
before the entrance as for drones, tax
ing care to see that the entrance at the
end is closed. If swarm attempts to
issue the queen will either be forced

turn or convenience of the apiarist- OF
course the swarm is not likely to go
without her.
Formerly it was considered sufficient
10 catch her, and prevent the departure
of swarm to parts unknown. Now q
new feature is being successfully intro
duced-a self-hiver. The top Of the
trap is perforated or removed for this,
and box made with the ends fitting
tightly over the ends of the trap, the
hive, and the front sloping board,
not too smooth, extending upwards;
all forming second chamber above
the trap, bee-tight, but with open top,
which should be exactly on level with
the top of the hive. On top of this,
place the hive into which you wish to
introduce the new swarm. The large
chamber of the self-hiver then will
open at the top, directly into the empty
hive and the swarm follouino thar
queen up through the trap, will pres
emily find themselves in their new hive.
BY placing trap across the entrance
to this to retain the queen, one can be
sure the swarm will stay here, aud at
the same time allow the workers free
passage out of and into their new home.
By this method one may leave the
apiary to look after itself for the day,
without fear of losing swarm OF bees,
and find them on his return at night
already hived and settled in their new
quarters. American Gardening.

For you. through all the year.
And oil the while, may the sun still smile

Roses wild are blooming fair;
And the wind that Ger them plays
Adds their sweetness to the air.
Somewhere in the trees above,

Col. BrOughtOn Starts the Movement in
Georgia.
The Georgia branch of the American
Cotton Growers Protective Association
assumed the first stage of organic l;ion
when Col. w. A. Broughton, recent Y
appointed president for this state, named
the county presidents that are to take
the work of organization up in their
respective Counties
Col. Broughton has appointed presi-
dent in every county in the STATE except
four-Glenn, Rabun, Towns and Union.
These counties are not cotton producing
counties according to the census of 1890,
the statistics showing that they are the
only counties in the state of Georgia that
failed to raise a bale of cotton.
The duty Of the county presidents is to
call meeting of the cotton growers of
their respective counties, to be held the
first Monday in March. At this meeting
it shall be ascertained how many of the
cotton growers of the county will sign
the articles of agreement recently adopt
ed by the convention in jackson, Miss,
where the national organization was
formed. At that same meeting delegates
will be appointed from each of the coun-
ties to attend state meeting to be lheld
in Atlanta the third Monday in March.
At the state meeting delegates will be
appointed to attend the next national
meeting, to be held in New Orleans on
the first Monday in April.
Thus the national association hopes to
achieve firm and substantial establish
ment.
Sin brief the general terms of the articles
of agreement are to this effect: That
each cotton grower signing shall Obligate
himself to cut his cotton acreage 25 per
cent. the coming year; to pay an admis-
sion fee of cents per acre (this may be
changed to general fee of so cents): none
of the obligations to be binding unless Is
per cent of the farmers of the signer's
county shall sign, and 50 per cent. of the
cotton growing counties of his state shall
join.
