Notes for Beekeepers.
Robber bees dislike winding el

Robber bees dislike winding en-
trance ways.
Dampness in the hives is often
the cause OF dysentery.
1t is poor economy to have nice,
white honey stored in old, dirty
boxes.
A bee inherits it's working quail
ties from both the queen and the
drone.
Have all the hives ready for
swarming week or ten days before
swarming time.
Buckwheat is one of the best
grains to sow for honey crop. It
can be sown now.
The best time to handle bees for
any purpose during the day is from
9 o'clock until 8 p. m.
Hives should be set close to the
ground and banked up with saw
dust or gravel in front.
The only certain way of controll-
ing the number of drones in hive
is by using comb foundation.
The old queen comes out with the
first swarm and leaves the parent
stock queenless for about eight days.
Reasonably low lands are the
best for an apiary, locating when
possible on the south or east side of
a slope.
1t is better to unite colonies until
all are reasonably strong. Otherwise
it will take the honey season to put
them in good condition.
Stimulating feeding is in order as
soon as warm weather has set in.
This is feeding to all colonies a lit
tie feed daily to stimulate the queen
to laying.
A colony may be ever SO strong
in numbers and contain an ahun-
dance of stores in the early Spring,
yet if the queen is deficient, no good
will result.
1t often occurs that combs kept
during the Winter will be found to
contain more or less mold. When
they are needed, these combs may
be placed in the hives and the bees
will clean them out.
Take care of swarms as soon as
they issue and settle. If allowed to
remain too long hanging in clust-
er they will take their departure.
The safest plan is to let them alone
until they settle and then hive them
at once.
During the swarming season
empty hives should be prepared
and located on the spot they are to
occupy. They should be well level
ed up. This is essential, as straight
combs cannot be expected unless
the hives are level.

WAY Green Bone makes Hens Lay.

why Green Bone Makes Hens Lay.
This important question is the
subject Of much discussion. En-
thusiasts claim 80 much for fresh
cut bone that the earnest desire of
practical poultrymen to know the
truth of the matter has led to a
careful investigation. The results
have been very satisfactory and the
reason SO simple as to excite sur
prise that it was never thought of
before. No intelligent farmer would
expect to reap rich harvest who
sowed the seed in poor and worn
out soil. 1t is a fact that is well
known that all plant life needs food
and the highest development is at
tanned when its own particular kind
of food is furnished. A hen has to
find the material to form an egg
from the food she gets. If that food
is rich in the egg constituents, she
lays we'll, but if lacking in them
she lays poorly. A chemical analysis
of green bone show that it contains
every element found in the white,
the yolk and the shell of the egg.
This accounts for the avidity with
which green bone is devonred by
the hen. Instinct implants in all
animals a taste and desire for foods
that are suitable for them. A hen
will leave any other food at any
time for a mess of green bone. In
Summer, when allowed free range,
bugs and worms supply this crav-
ing for animal food, and that is one
reason why hens lay better in Sum
mer than in Winter. During Win
ter, or when confined, bugs and
worms cannot be had, and the hen
has to wait days, and sometimes
even weeks, to accum ulate from the
insufficient food supplied her i'm
sufficient not in quantity, but in
egg-making element) enough ma
terial to make an egg. But when
given a daily allowance of green
bone, rich in every constituent of
the egg, the hen no longer has to
wait; each organ receives its neces-
sary nourishment, the egg is formed
quickly, and the hen has got to lay.
1t is precisely the same principle
as feeding the soil with fertilizer,
says Farm and Home--it does not
hurt the soil to enrich it; neither
does it hurt the hen to supply her
natural cravings; she is healthier,
stronger, and better in every way
for it. So, instead of trusting to
blind chance or luck, we invoke the
aid ofscience and produce living
egg machine, just as truly as science
has made living milk machine of
the COW.

nalt and VVater cor cows.

Recent experimenting to ascer-
tain whether the giving of salt to
dairy COWS has any direct bearing
upon the supply of milk showed
conclusively that it is very expen-
sive to neglect that human duty,
Three COWS were kept without salt
for one month, and during the last
half Of the period the milk was
weighed twice daily. The cows
were given four ounces each daily,
and after their capacity was again
allowed to develop, because of the
it was found that the increase for
the half month was 100 pounds of
milk. A constant supply of fresh
water is just as important.

is IT INEVITABLY

If the present excited dispute between
the British and German governments
should finally eliminate in war, there
would be no great reason for surprise;
for il generally happens that each cen
fury begins or ends in a war Of some
worldwide importance. This has been
shown So often in history since the
medieval epoch that one might almost
take for granted that about the end OF
each century a great war should b.
waged.

DUNRAVEN DONE UP.

The average western dweller is told
that the Atlantic ocean rolls like his
prairies and is in color like>the sky. but
after all he has little idea how the At
lantic looks or its waters lasts, cOnse-
ouently it is difficult for him to work up
any great enthusiasm over the occasion
al international yacht races accounts of
which fill the papers. But about every
body is up to date on the late Dunraven
row. and of how his British lOrdship
went back home in a huff declaring
that the Yankees had tricked him out
of the race, and how, afterwards, an
official inquiry was instituted. The
investigation has closed, and Lord Dun
raven having gone, the findings OF the
special committee of experts are on
their way across the ocean after him.
1t has been deemed courteous to hold
them back from publication until a
copy could be furnished to the Royal
Yacht club of England. Then they will
be published simultaneously in both
countries.
1t has been announced. however,
that the findings entirely diSprOve the
Dunraven charges. They acquit Mr..
Iselin and the other owners Of the De
fender of every charge Of unfair and IN
sportsmanlike conduct. They also
mildly rebuke Dunraven for the part
he has taken in the matter. Ii he is let
off with a mild reproof it will be anoth-
err instance of American magnanimity.
His conduct during the yacht races last
summer and since that has been that
of a craven who whined because be
was beaten. and then with the petu-
lance of a child accused his opponents
of unfair and unspOrtsmanlike treat
ment. Perhaps the committee Of in
vestigatiOn concluded that Dunraven
had been sufficiently punished by the
deserved scOrings he has received. not
only from the American press. but even
from some Of the most influential news
papers Of England.

BICYCLES AND TAXES.

The tendency, in this country, Is 10
tax necessities and industries, and 10
let luxurieS go. From congress TO leg
islatures. and from legislatures 10 city
councils, this is ever the Inclination.
The latter. in the way of Industrial
licenses. and trade and occupation per
mits, often discourage and even drive
away desirable adJuncJS. a bicycle Is
a luxury in which its users especially
delight. They claim the street and
highway as vehicles and then appro-
pirate the sidewalk. France raised
last year the sum of 100000 by blcy-
Gle tax of So per annum. The figures
are worth thinking about. The bicycle
crank knocks out the demand for the
farmers oats and hay, discouraglng the
street car service and continually howls
for better roads. The world Is going
crazy "on wheels" They are number
ed by the thousands in every city, by
the hundreds in every town, and even
as much as a dollar tax on them would
mean a nice sum. They are the most
selfish vehicles on earth, the most pre-
sumptive They are not utilized as
necessity but as a luxury. Carts and
hacks and drays and the like are all
saddled with a special tax in most
towns, and are all public necessaries-
Not so the bicycle. From public
standpoint it is a nuisance dreaded by
pedestrians who dodge it as they would
a run away team. Women, children
and men alike seek the edge of the side
walk or clear it entirely when bicycle
puts in its appearance. The bicycle
increases in number their riders in as
surance and presumption. 1t is est
mated that four per cent of the popu-
lation of larger towns are bicycle riders
leaving the other ninty ak per cent TO
get out of the way when Iney ring.
France is right in her special tax on
the bicycles. 1t took money to make
the mare go, but as the bicycle has
largely relegated the mare that vehicle
should not be permitted TO go without
putting I'D a reasonable compensation
for said RELOCATION. The necessities of
stables and oats having been dispensed
with, together with their concurrent
cost, the wheel should in some slight
measure at least make up for the loss.
There will not be less wheels but more
of both wheels and money.

ON THE FIGHT.

If Germany'S young emperor is not
careful he may become to be looked upon
as a boasteE and blower. Posing and
talking will not make him a war-gOd,
indeed Dress parade is delightful
~ suggestive pastime in a time Of
wars wrinkled front don't go for very
much, nor very far. He is all for the
army. He sees nothing else, talks lit
tie else. OF course arms were his pro-
fessiOn as a prince, but becoming
ruler he should address himself as well
to questions Of craftsmanship, which
in its highest sense means the moral
and material welfare of the people. The
tenor of his late proclamation Of the
twenty-fifth anniversary of the empire
is of the army which he seems to re-
gard as the main prop of the German
nation. 1t may be, but it is poor one,
and if it is TO remain so, means, in tn.
end, a poor nation. The empire Is
strong pillar of peace" as William
pulS IL DcCduSt II IL plCpdltu IOl wal,
because the army has been maintained
at the height of efficiency ''for the pro-
lection of the independence of the IA
therland." He declares that Germany
is tar from being in danger from other
states" another way of saying that
the empire leans on the strong arm of
the soldier. The peace preserved by
huge war establishment is expensive
and may not be enduring. Independ-
ence that depends on eternal vigilance
and constant readiness TO fight is rath-
er precarious and far from satisfactory.
May the present emperor twenty-five
years hence lie able TO congratulate
Germany and all Europe in terms that
smack less of militarism.
Kaiser Wilhelm, seated upon his
throne in the Weisse Saal of his Schloss
in Berlin, surrounded by the states
men Of Germany and countries bearing
the imperial crown, sceptre and sword
could apparently find no more fitting
words To celebrate the twenty-tifth an
niverSary Of the proclamation of the
empire and the browning of his grand
father at Versailles than few rafting
illusions to the defensive strength of
his armies. In contrast with this eX-
hibition of military monomania in the
Schloss was the impressive scene in
the reichstag when the imperial chan
cellOr submitted to the consideration
of the members of that body the pro-
posed civil code of the German empire.
This national document, the result of a
quarter century's arduous work begun
in days of national rejoicing, will con-
stitute monument to German unity;
and its enactment into law will be a
more fitting celebration of the twenty
fifth anniversary of the empire than
were the fine words Of the kaiser. When
all Germany, from the VOsges to the
Nistula and from the Baltic TO the Alps,
shall be ruled by one law the unificatiOn
Of her people in one great nation will
