self from the open cells, which are for
the use of the whole hive. They no
longer draw up in line on each side Of
her as she moves along. Her guard of
honor no longer surrounds her. She
seems fallen from her high rank. How
ever, the first bees which were disturbed
by her now follow, running like her
self, and spread alarm in their urn
among the rest of the population. The
road which the queen has travelled is to
be recognized by the excitement she has
caused On her passage and which cannot
now be Gained. Very soon she has Wis
tied every corner of the hive, so that the
fever has become general. The delirium
takes possession Of the whole republic.
The end of all this is a general sortie.
The whole hive, with the queen at the
head, precipitates itself toward the door
and issues forth to create a swarm.
Once in the fresh air they become quiet.
Their madness subsidies, and they fix
themselves to a branch of a tree, and
having been captured set to work again
as usual.
A swarm never comes out except at
an hour of the day when the sun is
shining, the air calm and the sky clear.
ii the sky shocla become overcast or a
transient storm arise, all the signs OF
swarming would cease i'll the hive and
tranquility be restored. AT the moment
which precedes their exit, said Huber,
the buzzing increases In the hive. Some
of the workers go out first as if to as
certain the state of the atmosphere. The
moment the queen has passed the thresh-
old, the emigrants follow in a crowd
behind her. In an instant the air is
blackened with the bees, which crowd
together and form a thick cloud.
The swarm rises. 1t poises itself a
few minutes above the hive and then
goes off at full speed. When the branch
of a tree has been selected by a certain

Erperiments wien pot.toes.

In a Kansas station bulletin is given
q record of experiments conducted three
consecutive years to test the relative
value for seed of tubers from the first
crop and from the second crop. BY early
planting of early varieties seed potatoes
were secured in July sufficiently matured
to produce a second crop in the same
aso The second crop was light, the
tubers often small, but firm and of fine
quality. Second crop potatoes kept until
planting time, were sound, firm and
nearly free from sprouts, while the or
binary crop became badly sprouted and
shriveled. In most cases second crop po-
tatoes used as seed gave a larger yield
than seed tubers from the first crop.
the increase in 1890 and 1891 averaging
49, per cent. From second crop seed
potatoes the growth of tops was larger
and the blooms more abundant. Second
crop seed, allowed to become sprouted
and soft before planting, yielded only
Ia per cent more than ordinary seed po-
tatoes.
Flat culture and hill culture gave
practically the same yield.

HOW TO GROW A CORN CROP.
~ Told ut n Farmers Institute and Re-
ported by tho Kansas Farmer.

"A Told at n Farmers Institute and Re-
ported by tho Kansas Farmer.
Plant when the apple blossoms begin
to open. If the ground be dry enough.
Surface planted corn, il the ground Is
dry, might be planted a little sooner. If
1t should be necessary to get seed corn
at a distance, get it north Of you: it
will be earlier and make better corn.
There is something to be gained by mix.
Ing seed corn of dry years. would mix
varieties that would bloom but a few
days apart, so that If the bloom of one
or the other would escape being killed
by hot winds the one escaping will be
likely to fertilize both varieties. I
think IL a good practice to plant some
early dent corn as we'll as of later vari-
cites, so that we will get a crop from
some Of the varieties IL not all. / never
yet have failed to get good corn of an
early variety, even in our driest seasons,
when planted early.
Corn stubble land can be broken or
listed either in the fall or spring. If
listed in the fall, / would list it again
in the spring. This I would prefer to
do only on reasonably rolling to high
lands. Flat lard of this kind is best
broken in the fal., but will do splendid
ly broken in the spring if the season is
a fair one. OF a very wet spring don't
harrow your corn land down if it is
smooth enough to plant without it.
Plant your corn on it. Let it grow I'M
til the corn is large enough to tend. If
you have any thin lands with hardpan
close to the surface, don't list it in. II
you do, you will be disappointed. 1t is
a poor prospect at best. / am a firm be-
lever in the theory that it is absolutely
necessary to break our land for corn
deeper and deeper from time to time as
well as subsoil to secure the best results.
In dry springs would disk OF harrow
down ground for corn till | got a good
seed bed If / were surface planting.
Listing on fall broke stubble, if nicely
laid over, will need no narrowing OF
disking la in the deep burrows. Now,
suppose we have planted as indicated.
The next thing is to cultivate. Surface
planted corn, if the weather is quite
dry, would harrow before the corn gets
up. If much wet, / would try and har-
row it once before it got too large.
Then / would give it shallow oultiva-
tion to prevent destroying too many of
its roots. / would cultivate it, if the
weather would permit, as often as once
in every six or eight days. Cultivation
SHOULD be given corn afterdashing rains
as 500 as dry enough. Two borrowings
and four cultivatings are usually enough.
The first two CIVILIZATIONS should be deep
est before the roots have spread far from
their base, to be cut with the c~ltivator.
Let the balance be shallow. Listed corn
we usually harrow about twice, and then
use a trough and c~ultivators. The next
cultivation use the harrow if the trash
will permit. 1t helps keep the ground
level and is as good as q cultivator and
much faster. Cultivate twice more, and
your ground will be left about on a lev
ell, the best possible shape to prevent
drying out.

Thinning Out Young Crops.

Few practices are more profitable,
Gays Meehan's Monthly, than thinning
nj garden crops as soon as the young
plants are above tho surface IL the
knowledge OF the proper sowing of seeds
was more widely prevalent, when tins
number of seeds required to make plants
only need he sown, no thinning would
be needed, but SO many persons sow the
seeds fearing that numbers will fail to
grow, and therefore many more seeds
are used than is necessary. But some
times all these superdnous seeds grow,
in which case it is desirable that they
should. be thinned Not only do the
vegetable plants grow larger under these
circumstances, but in many cases they
come earlier into use.
