Churning in Summer.-The churn-
ing in summer time should always be
done early in the morning so as to get
it out of the way while it is cool. 1t
is good plan to start it before break
fast. If one of the men can be spared
from the chores to do this job it should
be so arranged, as with most churns
it is pretty heavy work for a woman.
If the churn is not filled too full three
quarters of an hour ought to bring

called upon to marry a young couple

sided with Sam Blake, and believed the

Weakening the Swarms.-By instinct
bees store their honey Immediately
above their brood, and never below.
During a good yield thes often en-
croach upon the brood space and limit
breeding. This tends to weakening
Of the swarm. If combs are inverted
it places the brood at the top and the
honey at the bottom. On discovering
this the bees will remove the honey
and carry it to the surplus arrangement
in the upper story where it is wanted.
Finding the lower part of comb
empty the queen will Immediately de-
post eggs in the cells and thus in
crease the brood, and eventually the
stock of bees. This is advantageous in
asmuch as an increase of bees will give
corresponding increase in honey

Carrots VS.. Potatoes for Mich Cows.
w. III. Carpenter, proprietor of the
Yakima City Cheese factory, said in
the Washington Farmer, the other day:
There are many who make potatoes
the principal root feed, having an idea,
! suppose, that because it in
crease5 somewhat the flow of
milk, the profit increases ac-
cordingly. But the tester reveals that
the quantity of butter fat in the milk
is not proportionately increased; or, in
other words, feeding potatoes is a po-
lite way of watering the milk. Pota-
toes contain 80 per cent water, and if
one is selling milk by the quart potatoes
must be just the feed, but when it is
taken to the creamery and its value is
gagged by the tester, the dairyman
finds that he is making a mistake. I
have made practical tests of both car
rots and potatoes, and l have become
convinced that one ton of carrots Is
worth more than three of potatoes. I
am advising farmers who furnish milk
for my factory to put in enough ground
carrots to supply each COW with
daily ration of from to 10 pounds, ac-
cording to the season and circum-
stances"

And so he talked on for an hour, all
the while making ready his small
travelling trunk, laying his plans of
procedure after he should reach Gray

stand. He meant to tell the truth-it
was not needful to do othcrwise-but
it might be best not to tell the whole
truth. II he could save Sam Blake

Early Drones.

my method of getting early drones is

pounds of bees and about five combs

middle combs should be about half

Gaping some of the honey on the mid
die comb, about the size of the palm of
your hand is sufficient, and on the two
combs next to the middle one a smaller
space should be uncapped. Care should
be taken not to uncap any of the drone
comb till the queen is getting very
prolific. In starting the brood next the
cluster should not be farther from the
drone comb than one-half an inch.
When the queen fills the uncapped cells
with eggs, the bees will begin to uncap
the honey to make room for the queen.
If she is good queen she will fill every
