ENEMIES OF BEES.
Moths, Worms and Ants Wage War
Against tho Busy Insects.

Moths, Worms and Ants Wage War
Against tho Busy Insects.
Moths, worms and ants are the ene-
Fruit and Farm.
The moth miller slips into the hive
at night to deposit its eggs around un-
der the edges of the box hive, where
they hatch and then make their way
to the combs. The black bees do not
defend their hives as well as the
Italian bees. If the bees become queen
less, they soon get weak and the moths
find easy prey, as the bees will not de-
fend themselves. When the queens
get old they decrease the number of
eggs. They lay daily and they grow
weak again. The moths then over
power them. 1t is then the duty Of
the apiarist to assist the bees. Get
Italian bees, which are almost moth
proof, and have good hives. Do not
keep old queens in stock. Requiem
stocks that have four-year-old queens
with young Italians If the bees are
black they will soon all be Italians.
See that they are strong and will repel
the moths.
The apiarist must sweep off the bot
tom boards and assist the bees in keep
ing the surroundings clear of weeds,
trash and dirt. To get the moth out of
the combs, fumigate with burning sui
phur in a tight box, or give the combs
to strong colony of bees, one at time.
To keep the ants out of the hive set
them on a bed of ashes about four
inches deep and three feet square,
tramped and saturated with coal oil.
If the ants still bother little, take a
swab and rub little coal oil around
the entrance to the hive. Trail the
ants to their beds and scald them till you
destroy their nests; that is the only
remedy. An apiarist cannot work with
swinging hives Bees dislike any mo-
ton or EARRING about their hive. Tho
proper time to rob the bees is a ques-
ton the apiarist must answer for him
self; he must know the condition of the
season and the amount of honey in the
hive. The surplus honey can be taken
at any time of the year that it is not
so cold that the bees would not chill
upon opening of the hive. Bees cannot
thrive upon scant supplies, therefore
do not rob too close. Examine the
hives often, and every time a surplus is
found take out reasonable portion
without regard to time.

The object of blowing is not merely
to turn over the soil to bury the surface
trash and soften and pulverize it for
seed. 1t has a deeper purpose than
this shallow one. 1t is certainly to fit
the land for the seed and to afford a
good covering for it. But it is not to
bury the surface, with the accumu-
lated matter of the previous crop,
where it cannot be of use until it is
turned back again. The so-called
''cut-and-cover" kind of blowing should
be made penal offense, for it is detri-
mental to all concerned in the good
culture of the land. On the contrary,
it is the sloping furrow slice, laid on
edge at about As degrees with the
surface, and the manure with it living
in layers from the top to the bottom of
the furrow, that is really plowing.-

TURNIPs are an excellent thing for

cubator with the naked hand they may
be ruined.
NEVER give poultry brine. In giving
salt mix a teaspoonful to a quart Of
dry meal and then wet it.
FROM four to five feet of space should
be allowed in the poultry house for
each hen. Fifty is enough to keep in
one house.
If early broilers are wanted, the In
cubator must be brought into use, il
enough chickens are expected TO make
it worth while to go into the business
ONE of our poultry breeders always
keeps lump of salt where the poultry
can get at it. It is claimed that they
will not eat enough to hurt them, and
that is probably true.-Farmer's Voice

send design of a way TO build fence
from old rails which have used the
past three years with success. Some
of the points of merit are: 4. That
the rails all lie edgewise and will last
longer and make more fence. q That
it is built with less material than any
other rail fence. 8. That it can be put
mp faster than any other straight rail
fence. 4. That the fence is very solid.
and the more il settles the soldier it
gets. 5. That the rails are all held
solid, yet can easily be replaced.

fence: / cut two stakes, either new or
from broken rails, one 6 feet and one

the cross and place top rail in the fork

Next you need two sticks az feet long
to hold second rail up on the short

wire up over the second rail to the left
and bring around the cross and under
the second rail to the right of stake

DANGEROUS NECESSITIES.
Natter About VIII CHI People Are Toe
Careless.

Air and water, while they are in
dispensable to our existence, may be
the means of filling the system with
the most deadly germs of disease. 1t
is of the utmost Importance that these
two elements be as pure as possible,
and that every precaution be observed
to keep out of them whatever may
tend to produce disease or to encour-
age the existence of disease germs. 1t
is an admitted fact in bacteriology
that many forms of bacilli will not
flourish and increase without proper
food and environment. In this respect
they are like all other forms of life.
They must have their proper material
for subsistence or they will not appear
in numbers sufficient to cause seri.
Gus uneasiness. There is one item
about which housckeepers and the
public generally are altogether too
careless and indifferent, and that
is about the water supply O!
the household. 1t is very difficult by
ordinary means to reduce the temper
allure of water to point that will de.
stroy the germs of evil that it contains,
but it is perfectly possible by heat to
make it safe, and at the same time not
injure its quality. Therefore all water
used for drinking should be boiled.
Filtering alone as means of purify.
ing water is absolutely unreliable.
1t, of course, strains out the grosser
impurities, but it leaves the more dead.
ly bacilli in full possession. We are
very apt to think that things do not
exist because we can not see them, but
the most injurious forms of life are SO
infinitesimal that only the best micro
scopes serve to detect their presence.
Air can not be purified, but we can see
to it that nowhere in the vicinity Of
our dwellings shall there be any hot
beds of disease or any material that

Drying the Umbrella.

During the frequent use Of UNI brellas
In the spring showers, we should keep
in mind the oftrrepeated caution con-
corning care in drying them. They
will last much longer if they are al
ways placed when wet with the handle
downward to dry. The moisture then
falls from the edge of the frame and
the fabric dries uniformly. When it
stands handle upwards. which is COM
monty the case, the top of the umbrel-
la holds the moisture, and not only
takes long time to dry, but itsoon in
jures the silk or other fabrics used for
the cover, and rusts the steels- This Is
the cause of this part Of the umbrella
wearing out before any other part
Umbrella cases are also responsible for
the rapid wear of the silk. The con.
slant friction causes the tiny holes that
appear SO provoking carly. When not
in use leave the umbrella loose Phil

The KIND of Men which r.,,..

Unfortunately there are many who
think they can become merchants
without previous training. They claim
that anyone can sell goods, utterly
oblivious that buying, as well as sell
ing, is an art; that experience is a
school; that training is discipline,
that there is business alphabet to be
acquired, failing which there can be
no progress, no success. Such soon
come to grief, their numbers swelling,
far too fast, the long list of bankrupts.
And what is true of merchandising is
equally true of farming, both skilled
