Best Bee Food For Winter.

At this season it becomes quite an
impor tant item as 10 how much is re-
quired for safe wintering for the bees
themselves. Authorities differ, varying
from 10 to 90 pounds per colony, much
depending on manner of wintering, the
winter itself and the size of the colony.
A bee keeper writing in American Gar
dening says:
For northern climates prefer the
greater amount mentioned, and if the
wintering is to be done upon the sum-
mer stands l would insist upon it. Bees
wintered indoors require less stores than
outdoor colonies; perhaps third less.
This, think, is the chief advantage of
indoor wintering, except perhaps where
winters are very severe, There are sew
eral advantages in the outdoor process.
Probably the majority Of professionals,
however, winter indoors.
Too many people have an idea that,
while only the best honey will do to
market, anything that the bees will eat
is good enough for them. Probably the
greatest winter danger to bees is from
dysentery, and that is usually caused by
improper food or a cold hive. OF the
two causes consider the first most COM
mon. The very best bee food for winter
is pure white honey. That seems to con-
tain the least indigestible matter. Next
to this comes pure honey Of a darker
shade. If artificial food be necessary,
use pure granulated sugar sirup.

WINTER GROWN CELERY A-DLEACHING.
makes the following report, claims that
it is comparatively easy matter to
grow celery for late spring and early
summer use He says:
The seed is sown in late fall or early
winter in flats or seed pans. About one
month after sowing the plants are prick
ed out into other flats, where they stand
three OF four inches apart each way. A
month or 80 later they are transplanted
into beds, following lettuce, caulitlower,
ETC., thus for two months or more tax
ing up little or no room, for the flats
are placed in vacant places here and
there throughout the house, and they
need little other care than watering.
They should be kept cool, for il one at
tempts to force them they will likely
run to seed When the plants are finally
transplanted, we like to put them in
solid beds without bottom heat
In six weeks to two months after the
plants are turned into permanent quar-
ters they will be ready to bleach, and
this operation caused more trouble than
| anything else. Many plans were tried,
but all failed, until thick, hard wrap
ping paper, with an almost "sized" sur
face, proved to be an admirable success
The stalks were brought together and
tied, and width Of paTcr reaching to
within two or three inches Of the tips
of the leaves was rolled tightly about
the plant AS the plant grew another
width of paper was rolled about the
first, and again reaching nearly to the
top of the plant Two applications OF
paper are sufficient. A month to six
weeks is required to bleach the celery
by this process in a cool house in Apri'
and May.
The seeds of the staron's last crop OF
house celery were sown Dec. 10, 1894

ONE WAY TO LAY THE TILE.

lay boards of inferior quality about four
inches wide in the bottom of the trench,
and on these the tile may be rapidly
laid SO that the joints will come togeth-
or. But, however good the joint, precau-
tion should be taken to prevent any pos
sible entrance of dirt. The writer found
the use Of tarred or rosin sized paper to
be just the thing for this purpose, as it
is easily applied, and from its nature
quite long lasting, even in wet soil.
When it has finally rotted, the earth will
have settled and become firm about the
tiles. Where joint is very poor, OF
where the drain makes slight turn,
thus opening the joint to one side, bit
of tin or sheet lead can be bent down
tightly over the joint, to the exclusion
of all dirt.

SURFACE AND sueleaIeA1loN.
Better Results From Surface Irrigation
subirrigation Much More Expensive.

Better Results From Surface Irrigation.
subirrigation Much More Expensive.
Much has been written on this sub.
ject The assertion is made and reiter-
ated that subirrigatlon is far superior to
surface irrigation, the idea being ad-
vanced that water reaching plants
roots after having passed through the
soil is much more effective in producing
plant growth than that which reaches
the plant from the surface; that water
coming in contact with the stalks Of
plants is detrimental TO plant growth.
To find out the results and differences
Of these different methods experiments
were begun in 1890, under the auspices
Of the Utah experiment station, and have
been carried on for five years
In the plats trenches were made and
were laid some with cobble rock drains
and some with cement pipes. In each
case the pipes or drains were put SO that
three of them would divide two rod
plat in such a way that the seepage
from each pipe would have to reach the
same in each case, that the plat might
be wholly soaked This was brought
about by running one pipe or drain
down the center of the plat and two
others, one on either side Of the center
one and IL feet from it, This would leave
81 feet for the water to soak each way
from each pipe or drain, that the whole
ground may be soaked. In the pipes, at
intervals of eight feet, holes were made
in which were inserted small wooden
plugs, in which also holes were made,
very small at first but in 1898 these
holes were enlarged by boring the plugs
with a quarter inch bit. Over each of
these plugs there was placed an oyster
can inverted, so as to keep the soil from
stopping the holes in the plugs.
The results as reported In bulletin
show that subirrigation is far behind
the surface irrigation in yield of either
grain, straw or hay It is also made to
appear that the rock drain did much
better than the more expensive cement,
tile or pipe.
Following is brief summary of the
whole matter:
First. On poor clay soil containing
gravel, with the cobble rock drain, or
ON a better clay soil containing some
sand, with the cement tile, the subirri-
cation was not so good as the surface.
Second. The experiment covers ten
trials, and in every trial but one the
surface irrigation gave the highest
yields.
Third. During irrigation the soil
Immediately over the rock drains or
the plugs in the cement pipes was over
saturated, while that between the drains
or pipes and between the plugs in the
pipes was very dry.
Fourth. On the soil of the station
farm the system of subirrigation has
proved an utter failure for grain or
grass. On soil containing more sand il
may be possible and is highly probable
that better results can be obtained.
Fifth. The system is so expensive
that it is doubtful whether it could ever
be applied to general farming The re.
suits are 80 discouraging that none il
advised to put it in except on small
scale for trial

BEST VARIETIES OF WHEAT.
Sixty Different Kinds Tested at the Ohio
Experiment station.


Experiment station.
Sixty differently named sorts Of wheat
were harvested at the Ohio experiment
station in 1895. These wheats were
grown on plots Of one-tenth acre each,
every third plot being sown to Velvet
Chaff Penquits, variety which has
been used as a standard for several years.
The season here, as throughout most
of Ohio, has been one of almost un
paralleled drought, and the wheat made
only about one-third Of a full crop. The
variety test is not SO satisfactory as it
would have been in favorable season.
In the following statements the va
rieties named are compared with the
plots of Velvet Chaff between which they
grew. Using this basis, the following
seven varieties have yielded from two TO
four bushels more than the Velvet Chaff (:
Geneva, Mealy, Gypsy, American
Bronze, Early White Leader, Early
Genesee Giant and a new variety which
we have named "Green.
The following II varieties have yield
ed at the rate of two to nearly five bush
els less per acre than the Velvet Chaff :
Wyandotte Red, Lehigh, Hindustan, Sib-
ley's New Golden, Tasmanian Red,
Deitz, Democrat, Lebanon, Rudy, Ken
tucky Giant and its synonym Niger,
Diehl Mediterranean, Tuscan Island,
New Longberry, Extra Early Oakley,
Yellow Gypsy and Hard Wheat. The
last named and the Minnesota Re-
| liable are varieties brought from Min
nesota and Manitoba. The sort called
Hard Wheat has been grown here two
| years, the other but one. The indica-
tions are that they are not adapted to
this climate.
Thirty-six other varieties gave yields
so nearly identical with the Velvet
| Chaff that they are considered as giving
equivalent results The varieties giving
the highest returns are among those that
| have not been tested over as many years
as some of the sorts giving lower yields
for this year, but higher average yields
| for series Of five years.
The Mealy has given the highest
average for the last five years and at
present is one Of the most promising
varieties Geneva is another productive
variety, but in former years it has
seemed to be more susceptible to smut
than most Of the other varieties. This
sort and three others were not thrashed
in 1891 but were burned in the field
because of the large percentage of smut
found in them. The Rudy wheat has
promised well the last five years, but
we find that it has given the lowest
yield Of all the sorts in the comparative
test for the past season. The failure o.
this variety was as plainly marked il
the general field work as in the variety
test.
The following varieties are among
the best and are recommended as tn
most reliable: Valley and its synonon
Egyptian, Poole, Red Fultz, Mealy
Velvet Chaff, Democrat, Deitz, Nigge
and Hicks.
For good strong ground the Valley
Velvet Chaff, Niger and Mealy ar
perhaps the best, and the Poole, Demo
crat, Hicks and White Chaff Fultz ar
better adapted to lighter and thinne
soils.

News and Notes.


The patent corn harvesters ON the
market are all made ON one general
principle of sled, with knives attached
to each side for severing the stalks. The
American Corn Harvester company
claims that this principle is broadly
covered by patents, and consequently
that any harvester made on a similar
plan is an infringement, however sim
pie or crude it may be. American Ag-
riculturist calls attention to the fact
that farmers in Hancock county, o.,
have organized to contest this patent,
and their attorneys are already taking
depositions from farmers who used this
device 20 years ago, "If it should be
proved in court that the principle claim
ed by the patentees had been used prior
to the date Of their patent it would then
be public property. Otherwise as origi.
nators of this important improvement,
they are entitled to monopoly of it
under our patent laws"
Country Gentleman says that the
value Of fall sown rye consists, first, in
conserving fertility, and, second, in
storing it up in such forms as will be
more available to tho succeeding crop
than it would have been without it.
1t is in the west that the windmill
has been most generally used, though
thousands of market gardeners and
daiIymen in eastern states have found
it the cheapest power for raising the
water to keep their crops growing or to
water their stock.

Distance Apart of Planting Potatoes.

AphTt VI
The assistant horticulturist of the IL
linois station, in his valuable bulletin
on potato experiments, says on the sub
ject of distance apart of planting: This
has been made subject of study in
eight states, and the average of the re-
suits goes to prove the common practice
among farmers to he correct. Hills have
seldom given as good yields as drills.
In drilling potatoes Michigan makes a
distinction between planting whole po-
tatoes and pieces and recommends for
single eyes l2 to 10 inches apart, for
half potatoes feet apart, and for whole
potatoes az feet apart. Ohio says re-
suits show that rows shoulG 0e from az
to feet apart and the hills foot This
is supposing one or two eye pieces are
used for seed. In 32 trials Of hill as
compared to drill planting in Michigan
the results We're in favor of drills. The
New York experiment station, at Ge'
neva, reports in favor OF dill planting
